Updated review: July 12, 2016
The company ended up refunding my money sooner than 21 days as they had originally stated. However, I shouldn't have had to call and argue with them for them to do so. They never should have charged my card to begin with.
Original Review: June 2, 2016
I was looking at flights and they charged my card on an unauthorized purchase. The tickets I was looking at were $600-$800 and for some reason with my consent they charged my card $291.60. Horrible company I will never do business with again.

For two days in a row I saw the flights online I wanted for the price I was willing to pay. Both days after I filled in all the necessary information I got the message that the flights I was seeking was no longer available. Coincidence? I don't think so. Also I started getting several calls from the company asking me if I wanted those same flights for $300 more! That's called bait and switch. I called CheapOair and requested to talk to a supervisor and finally was transferred to a woman who listened to my complaints. After giving her all the desired dates and flight numbers she asked if I could be placed on hold for a few minutes. Where do they go and what do they do when that happens? Well, she put me on hold for 30 minutes until ultimately I was disconnected. They always ask in advance for a "good contact number" but she never tried to get back to me. I am furious! Shame on you CheapOair!!!

The WORST experience I ever had booking and buying flights online!!! I came to the Caribbean to film a documentary. When I got to Barbados CheapOair had canceled my flight that I paid for and even had a booking number and ticket printed because the company raised the price of the ticket 4 hours after! If they can't guarantee the price they should NOT be selling plane tickets online. I lost 2 days of filming, had to pay for the entire team to sleep in another place, and when I tried to call (international) to understand what was happening they put me on hold for more than 20 minutes and the call drops, once, twice, 3x. Crazy bad service, this site should be closed!

I can't tell you how many times I heard, "Just a minute, ok?" But always with care and very kindly. My intent by calling was as offered on the website, to get confirmation of airlines policy for 3 flights for my minor child traveling unaccompanied. Instead I had a full service, checking each flight and related company policy on this matter, booking it for me. What I don't understand is why it took over an hour but fortunately with loud speaker and mute buttons, and with the gentleness and correctness of the person helping me I didn't get mad showing that when tools aren't so great people make such a difference. I was surprised that whenever I said, "But the flight you get me is more expensive than the one I found", he kept searching and finally also gave me the insurance I wanted and the taxes for free almost so it looks as if it's like a car you see a price but you can still bargain (on the phone here) if you take the time!

I did not get the full discount as stated using the discount code provided so I called. I got excellent help by calling. What really makes me mad is how the people get screwed by the airline rates. They double the rates just because it is a holiday weekend, not because gas prices have gone up. I made the same flight 2 months ago for half the price. The airlines make a ton more money just on the shear volume of travelers. They are greedy and have to jack up the fees too?

This company is a scam. Once you complete the transaction, the seats are not assigned. One has to call. The customer service support is terrible. It takes over 30 minutes to get a response. It is obviously outsourced to India or Pakistan. The operators are rude, and hard to understand. Then you're billed extra for your seats and when the passenger checks in, the airline does not recognize your seat assignment, saying that no payment has been made by Cheapoair. When calling its customer service number, they claim that the "system doesn't work, so call later." I travel internationally monthly. This never happened with Expedia, Priceline, etc. So my advice, stay away from Cheapoair.

Please read this before you make a business deal with CheapOair.com. CheapOair charged my account for $533.00 for a fee in order to change my flight destination. The next day I arrived at airport in Frankfurt and found out the Lufthansa airlines did not have an electronic ticket for me which should have been issued by CheapOair. So Lufthansa charged me another $598.60 for issuing me a ticket that should have been done by CheapOair. I have contact CheapOair several times. They are hiding in some shop in India and make promises that they will issue me a refund but to date they have not. Do NOT buy any tickets from these guys in INDIA.

I purchased two flights with the same dates and time of travel. When I received email confirmation one of the flight's return date was not correct. So I called CheapOair to resolve issue. Not only did they not understand but the woman I spoke with was very sarcastic and combative. She then hung up on me. I called back to hear someone pick up phone and hang up again which was strange but made me furious. I travel a lot and have never experienced this type of customer service in my life.
When I finally got an answer it was a male who then told me that I would have to pay over $500 to change a ticket that was just purchased. Even though the price of ticket hasn't changed. I understand paying the standard change fee. What I don't get is if the flight price hasn't changed then why do I have to pay such an excessive amount for a new flight. It made more sense to buy a new flight online. So strange. Someone told me to try this company because the price was good. But I will NEVER purchase through CheapOair again. They try to take extra and blame it on the actual airlines. Well I called the actual airline and guess what I only had to pay change fee. So be aware!!!

I had no problems other than I could not check with Frontier Airlines to print out my boarding pass in MCO. It is difficult to sit straight up for 4 hours and not be able to put the seat back. Are all the air crafts like that now? I had that experience with Spirit Airlines and now with Frontier Airlines. I find that the extra payments for bags and seat is actually more expensive than if I booked a flight with one of the bigger airlines, where these things are free.

CheapO had booked me on a Nice France to Palm Beach Florida Lufthansa trip which, I later discovered, entailed an airport change from JFK airport to Newark airport which I wanted to avoid. Asked the rep if the booking could be altered to consolidate the return either through Newark or JFK without an airport change. Rep was superb. Determined, polite, informed. Made sure to avoid putting me on hold to hold the connection (from Italy to CheapO in the U.S.). Was obviously a complicated and time consuming operation because he needed to also protect our "Economy Plus" status to ensure comfortable seats. He got it done and should be commended.

Just spend all morning talking to different agents in this company after incredible long waits on the phone. I booked my airplane tickets since January 15 2016. We are not in May 14, 2016. They have change my itinerary 2 times, giving me ridiculous options. Yesterday for the third time they called me to let me know that the flight going instead of arriving at 5:00 pm, it will arrived at 11:00 pm. Completely unacceptable since I have to travel to another city one hour away at night (the advisory warn strongly not to travel at night).
The last time they change my coming back, instead of arriving my city at 8:00 pm they left me and my family for a layover of more than 12 hours in Mexico City. I accepted although they refuse to pay for the Hotel, thinking that I paid this ticket a little cheaper than normal price. But after all of this changes, If I do not cancel the tickets (the option is take the new ticket or cancel) I would end of paying about $400 in extra expenses for Hotels and cancel reservations which this company refuses to take responsibility at all. Now they are even refusing to cancel the insurance paid for the tickets. This is ridiculous and NEVER, NEVER again will deal with them. Is better to go directly with the airlines. This is a den of thieves. I can go on, and on with documented paperwork on the inefficiency and money hungry this company is. Do not trust your travel plans in their hands.

He told me he was unable to help get it straightened out but he would escalate it to his supervisor and I would definitely get a return phone call no later than within the next 4 hours from my call. I gave him the number.
It's been over 40 hours now and still no call.

I booked my flight from Cheapoair 3 weeks ago which cost me USD645/person and I would like to change my itinerary due to unforeseen circumstances. I had a live chat with 2 of Cheapoair staffs online today and both of them quoted me a different price to make the changes. First staff, ASHER quoted me USD483.50/person and offered me USD100 discount after I complaint the price is too high. He kept pushing me to make the changes on the spot and mentioned the price will gone up very soon.
One hour later, I chatted with second staff, LENA. She quoted me USD390/person and offered me the discounted price of USD325/person. As you can see there is a different of price quoted by both of the staffs. I felt cheated by Cheapoair as they are trying to squeeze your money when you ask for changes/cancellation. Please be aware if you would like to book with Cheapoair unless you are very sure you won't make any changes/cancellation.
Tan, pricing is based on the flight options that are available and different flights can have a different cost in airfare due to the availability. The airline automatically had a change fee of $250.00 per person, the additional cost is the flight option that was provided to you and the 2 agents gave different options. I do see even with the 160.00 fare difference you did not make any changes to the reservation. Airfares are subject to change!

Your pre-recorded message said "This call will be record to ensure the quality of this call." Ok, so I spoke to one of your representatives where I addressed my concerns and questions. I simply asked him "I am not sure the spelling of my niece's middle name is, do I need to have this information now or can I call you back?" Your representatives response was "No ma'am, you have four hours to call us back and make changes."
So I proceeded with booking the flight and made arrangements and before I gave him my credit card I asked him three times, "Are you sure I don't need her middle name especially if she's a minor and will be traveling alone?" Each time he responded with "No ma'am, it's ok you can call us back." Well after I contact my sister-in-law and asked her for my nieces middle name, I call back. Not 4 hours later, but just 30 mins later! Only to hear the representative tell me that I could not add a middle name and the could not guarantee me that the using the ticket could board if the name on the ticket was not the whole name or same as on the birth certificate. That is not what I was told!
That is why I specifically picked up the phone and called your services directly! Second, I demanded to speak with a supervisor and asked that my call be review and heard so that they knew I was give false information and was baited and switched. A supervisor never came to the phone, I was left on hold for 45 mins without so much as even acknowledgment of me being on the phone. Sure I was able to get a refund but now my money is being tied up and will not see my bank account for 20 days! I will never seek to do business with CheapOair.com again.

I booked a flight back in the beginning of March 2016 to go to the Dominican Republic. I called customer service before I booked (back in March) and explained to them that I had never flown out of the country and that I needed assistance finding out which airport destination I should select. I gave the woman (sounded like a woman) the name of the hotel in Puerto Plata, and she advised me what flight I should take. I thanked her, booked the flight, and that was it.
However, a week ago I found out that ticket was for Punta Cana, the WRONG airport. So, I called to check with customer service. I waited around 15 mins for someone to answer my call. When they finally answered, they asked what I needed and I explained the situation. The man said that the system was down and that I would have to call back in an hour and hung up on me mid-sentence when I asked him if he could write down my phone number and info.
So I just waited until the hour passed and called back. Another man with an accent answered and I explained once again my situation. He said to give him a moment to make the changes. I initially paid $400 for my plane tickets. When he returned from hold, he informed me that I would have to pay an EXTRA $600 and more ("for fees" he said). I explained to the man that this didn't sound right ($400 + $600 + more mentioned fees is absolutely crazy), as I wasn't changing dates, times, or my destination country, just the airport. Also, my flight/trip isn't until August 2016 (over 3 months away).
When I asked him to explain, he got very rude and told me that I needed to look up flights on my own. I asked him (very nicely) if I could please be transferred to a supervisor or manager. He said, quote, "I won't transfer you to my supervisor until you research flight information online and get your facts." I explained to him that I wasn't exactly sure what he wanted me to "research" and to please put me through to his supervisor. He said, quote, "I already told you, I refuse to transfer you until you look up this info on our website. I will not transfer until you look it up. I'm waiting. Let me know when you have looked it up."
So, of course, now I'm angry. I asked if my flight could be canceled and refunded, he said, "No." That's it. Didn't give an explanation or anything, as if I wasn't worth the time. So I told him that if I wasn't put through to a supervisor I would hang up and report him. He chuckled and repeated that he wouldn't put me through until I "looked up my facts". So, I hung up. I tried calling back to speak to another customer rep, but my call was suspiciously disconnected each time. This man was downright mean and rude.
A couple days later, I spoke to 2 more customer representatives, that were actually supervisors. The first one said his name was Deshawn (not sure of spelling, but that's what it sounds like). He called me late at night around 9:30pm, and said that he would try to work something out with the airlines and that he would call me within 24 hours. However, I never heard back from him, so I called again. This time when I asked for a supervisor, they put me right through without any argument. I was transferred to a Sher-wee (again, not sure of spelling, but that's what it sounds like). When I asked for the rude guy's name from the following night, he said they said didn't have that information (which I know isn't true, because they were able to tell me the other supervisor's name).
He also tried to lie and say that I booked my tickets for August 1st (Monday) through August 6th (Saturday). I told him this absolutely wasn't possible (I know for a fact that I DIDN'T book these dates, and have an email to prove it) because my friend's family leaves on the 5th (Friday), and I wouldn't have anywhere to stay. Also, I have to be back to work Friday. I booked the trip from August 1st (Monday) until August 4th (Thursday) because I wanted to make sure I didn't get stranded alone. He kept pushing and saying that I was wrong and that I did book for August 6th, but thankfully I found the email confirming the booking was for August 4th and he finally admitted that he was wrong. He then said that Deshawn (the original supervisor) wasn't in today, and that he would be calling me tomorrow (Wednesday) around 5:30pm. He also told me to call American Airlines.
So after I hung up with him, I did call the airline. I spoke with a woman, and she told me that unfortunately, there is nothing they can do since the booking was through CheapOair. She also told me that this is a tactic they use to get rid of customers on the phone, as there is nothing that the airline can do since the transaction was through CheapOair.
Then, another couple of days later, a woman (Ana, I believe is her name) called me while I was at work and was unable to answer the phone. She left me a voicemail asking me to please contact her. So, as soon as I left work, I called her back. I was put through to an answering machine. I left a message, but haven't heard anything back.
Since they are unable to change my flight without OUTRAGEOUS extra costs, I would like a full refund for my SINGLE ticket, which they are refusing to do. I don't think this is right at all, and they shouldn't be allowed to get away with this stuff. My flight is more than 3 months away (I booked it early in case anything happened) and none of the 3 emails they sent me mentioned anything about being non-refundable. I can send those 3 emails as well.
I've read from other reviews that they have charged credit cards without authorization, changed flights without confirmation, and even the lady at American Airlines didn't have nice things to say about this company. I don't understand how they are graded as A+ at the BBB when they have all these serious complaints against them??? I would advise to STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! I am doing all that I can to alert people to be careful!

I think refund should be immediate in today's technology, why to wait. Please do something.
Dinesh, because there has been a ticket issued, they are all accountable now through an airline accounting system called ARC. So the ticket is reported on our weekly report and sent to this accounting firm, they verify all the tickets issued and determine if the ticket is indeed eligible to be refunded, after that it goes to the airline who verifies the transaction, and the refund comes from them. So there is a check and balance, not like a credit you receive from a store.

I've had a number of dealings with this company recently while I plan a trip to the U.S. with my family. I thought that the site was good and the service people were great. Friendly and efficient. Prices seemed good. One small point, some customers like myself may not necessarily be after the very cheapest price but would prefer to pay more for convenience (time of flights, amount of time between flights, reduce number of stop offs, etc.) so it might be good for your service people to check about that when in conversation. I liked the way that the service people seemed "human" and engaged in nice conversation where appropriate (but we're still highly professional). I was especially impressed by the way that I was able to change one of my bookings the next day once I had given more thought to what I had booked - I was worried I'd be told that I could not do this and was so pleased that I could.

This company is based out of India from what I am gathering and while typing this for the second time calling have been waiting on the phone for 31 minutes and counting after speaking to a representative that said he was transferring me to a supervisor. The customer service is POOR at best with rude customer service agents and extremely long wait times. In addition, I have been waiting for a $410.00 credit to my Visa card that has not credited and getting them to give me a confirmation number for this "so called" credit has resulted in excuses by telling me, "it was processed" or "the system is down to retrieve the confirmation code."
I have had it with this company and now am furious because not only of the wait time at 10:00 p.m. PST but also with the rudeness you receive and the non caring attitude from these representatives. ConsumerAffairs should review this company and place strict US rules with how a travel agency is to handle business to its clients. I need assistance with getting my refund NOW!!! Since I cancelled my reservation I don't have a receipt since they didn't send it via email but when I call they can see it after a long search, or so they say.
Kevin, our apologies for the service you are receiving. I do see that you have the confirmation numbers, because you have listed here, Any information regarding your account, including refund details can be found documented on the 8 digit booking number. As for having an office in India, we have actually 5 offices, headquaters however is in New York right in Manhatten, with office in the UK,. Canada, Mexico, with a sister company in Las Vega, so you can see we have all different back grounds working for our company with almost 5000 employees.
Your refund is as follows:
$12.95 refunded mar 27 the next day you called to cancel$86.00 refunded mar 28
$311.59 refund april 2 because refunds are done to the airlines on specific days of the week, and it takes 30-60 days for the airline refund to hit your card, because that charge comes from the airline, and not us. It doesn't work like a store credit, it has an airline accounting firm it goes through first, and then get's sent to that airline to process. It's been 30 days, you should see the remainder any time now.

Rachel, I hope the agent explained what had transpired and you understood. The original ticket was issued, and later had to be voided out, therefore that first charge will be pending. When the ticket was reissued, that generated another charge which will be reported as the sale, but the first one is an authorization and will drop off and the account will show that credit amount within 3 business day.

My husband bought our tickets and reserve hotel room to Dhaka, Bangladesh thru CheapOair and it was thru my recommendation. I feel it is important that I take responsibility to file this complaint. He called CheapOair to confirm the online purchase, at the same time he request to book the hotel room via that phone call. Customer service was very friendly. Unfortunately I think they screwed up. We request for hotel pick up at the airport, he gladly confirm that the request is done. He took our flight no and our arrival time and even provided my husband the hotel number. We arrived at Dhaka airport and there was no driver from the hotel.
We spend a good 30 minutes trying to call the hotel and searching for hotel tel number because the tel number given to us was wrong. As we do not yet have data sim card we were not able to get online. Dhaka city is a place where internet connection is difficult to find even in the airport. We end up paying for our own transport. Next horror we find ourselves in was the driver could not locate the hotel because the address provided on CheapOair is incomplete. Vital district zone was omitted in the address sent to us.
The driver took us around searching for over an hour!!! This is not the worst, when you are stranded like this in the night in a country where safety is a concern, you fear for your life. The driver got mad, when he couldn't locate the hotel. Finally we manage to get to another hotel and got help from them to get to Ascott Residence. We ended paying double the taxi fare. The customer service also told my husband during booking that Ascott Residence is near the city central, but it turn out it is at least 20 to 30 minutes walking distance.
Seriously I don't think these guys know the place, as a result we have been mislead. When we finally reached the hotel, we were told there was no request for hotel pick up, and the booking is for 1 person, not 2. And we were also told our reservation was from Expedia and not CheapOair. We finally managed to sort everything out with the reception and finally get to our just before midnight.
Another problem we faced with the customer service was the seat reservation on the flight. My husband paid the seat reservation charges. He was not informed that we must go very early 3 hours before flight time to the airport in order to reserve the seat we want. Biman Airline do not have online seat reservation. We only found out when we reach the airport. Isn't this a waste of our money. This is a horrible experience we had with CheapOair, and we lost trust with them immediately.

I wanted to share my recent experience with CheapOair. I first came across this company after reaching out to the airlines for a flight to the Caribbean for me and my family. I was looking for a less-expensive option and came across CheapOair. The representative was very nice and knowledgeable and I ended up booking the flight. When our plans changed and I had to change the week we were traveling, once again, the rep on the phone was helpful in explaining our options. Since the price difference was substantial for making any change to an existing flight, we decided NOT to make the change after all and travel on the originally scheduled dates.
When we arrived at the airport for our flight, that's when the problems started. The airline said that our "flight" took off 5 days earlier and had been changed from CheapOair. We tried to explain that we never made a change nor authorized a change to our flight and the cost to change everything was well over $600. With our flight approaching fast, it took over an hour and half with some amazing assistance from Airline Supervisors to straighten out the mess and get our boarding passes for our flight. We will 100% deal directly with the Airlines moving forward despite the possible additional costs. This service may be an option for some but for us, the price difference is not worth the problems, headaches, and stress we faced.
