In reserving air flight tickets, the agent was very professional and efficient. The process was quick and painless. I will use this service on my next trip.

I spoke to AG. He assure me that I would have free carry on bag and free check bag up to 40 pound with a window seat. When I didn't my email within the 3 to 4 hours after my call. The next day I called customer service. Not one thing that he said came true.

I was not offered the $50 coupon for enhanced seat assignment by the representative I spoke with. He also did not know if SAA was associated with any other airlines. Said I would have to call the airline directly. He had no contact phone number. SAA is part of Star Alliance, I don't think that it would be too difficult to look up the info. I have used CheapOair in the past and was very satisfied with their service so was somewhat surprised by this agent's lack of assistance.

I was very pleased with the customer representative that helped through searching the cheapest fare for me and my husband and son. She was able to book our flight separately since I am going to travel first and then my husband and son to follow after few days. She was able to book our flight back all together as well. I think her name was Audrea but I am not sure of the spelling of her name. She is very assertive, productive, and persistent. Based on her statement she said the price of our fares are cheaper than most airlines online. I am very satisfied.

We had to cancel our trip due to my husband's health, being that he was hospitalized prior to our trip date but recuperating and still under the care of his physician. Trip Mate (the travel insurance CheapOair uses) has denied our claims due to the fact that "he has a pre-existing condition". Be careful people!!! If you have a condition that flares up or worsens prior to your travel, that is all they need to deny your claim. CheapOair doesn't care what they are recommending for travel insurers. They just want to make the sale! There's a reason they are cheap. They're probably getting a kick back from Trip Mate!!! CheapOair charged 25.00 per ticket to cancel the flights stating that that was recoverable from Trip Mate. It is not. They will do or say anything to make the sale. I will never use them again. Use an independent travel insurance company that says they will pay for "any reason for cancellation".

Yesterday, I had to change a ticket I had with CheapOair because of family matters in the US. I was helped. I felt very well by the agent yesterday morning (3/21) and responded to indoor survey yesterday. Then I looked into the itinerary and found that the time between flights, which required an airport change was woefully inadequate. I called back in 5 hours and changed the itinerary to give me time to get from VCP to GRU, necessitating a long layover for another $100. Same airline, just earlier flight on same day. Why they can't just send you to one airport, as has been the case in all my travels is beyond me. Then this morning I saw that CheapOair charged me twice for the change ($1097) which locked my bank access.
I called and was told to call later, which I did and the billing agent said that it was a mere formality and that tomorrow I would get the money back. In the meantime, I cannot use my money to make further arrangements for the changed trips. This is uncalled for, unnecessary, and did not happen when I made my first CheapOair ticket to Cuenca, Ecuador. This no mere formality and I feel that CheapOair owes me some money for this disaster, an over 24-hour flight and needs to become acquainted to the reality of the flights they are suggesting. The fact I have to wait for both a refund from my first changed ticket and now the second one does not install confidence.
If this is not resolved immediately, I will definitely let my friends and families about how you do business. I wish I did not have to write this but hope it really does help your company to change the way it does business. Do right by your customers, give them accurate information, do not offer contorted flights and do not charge twice for some bizarre billing reasons. It is all a nightmare for future customers.

Very disappointed with the experience of booking a ticket with this company. I tried to change a airfare ticket and the price they are giving me is far above the one given by the air company (double checked first). Make me wonder whether they are making me pay a more expensive airfare, even though it has been confirmed by the company that they still have seats available in a cheaper flight.

Literally the worst experience with their incompetent customer support which seems to be based in India as every person I spoke to was Indian and I could not understand a word they were saying. I booked a vacation for my family and myself and they stuck me on Spirit Airlines, which apparently do charge you 40$ for a carry-on bag (none are included in the price) and I was not told this before buying the package or I would have taken a different flight. I spoke to someone who had no idea what they were doing and asked for a supervisor. I was transferred to billing (not what I wanted) and from there after being on hold sent over to (I think) the original person I spoke to who was just as incompetent as before. I asked for a supervisor again and have been on hold for over an hour straight before they decided to hang up on me (and although they took a callback number, they never called me back).
DO NOT use this website as it has THE WORST customer (lack of) support I have ever experienced. I never write reviews online but this company has been so terrible in my need to sort my issue out that I hope even one person will read this and go somewhere else. Honestly I usually read reviews and when there are glowingly bad reviews such as this I dismiss them, but every once in awhile they are absolutely accurate. If you do chose to use this company, make sure you are not using Spirit Airlines since checking a bag or a carry-on is about $40 if you pay online for it and if you didn't know about this price and went to the airport and tried going on the plane with a carry-on, you would be charged $100. This is not an exaggeration, it lists it on Spirit Airlines' website. This is the worst company I have ever had an interaction with and I cannot convey how truly awful they are.

I cannot say enough about how much I loath this company. When I booked with them recently, an international, three leg multi city flight, their site would not allow me to uncheck the selected pay extra seats when I ordered the protection plan from them. I never wanted the seats. When I looked at them, it never would allow me the option to uncheck them, so it thus decided for me to spend my money, and then on top of that, I never got those upgraded seats!
Not ok! And when I got online to chat with their rep I was told it was the airline. **! It's on my bank statement that it was CheapOair! (The other charges for the airline separate.) They lied and denied and never refunded my money. When I called the airline LONG DISTANCE, of course, they could not even SEE the charges! Of course not. That CheapOair rep also disconnected my chat when I expressed displeasure. TERRIBLE company. Go with someone else. You'll be less stressed with more money in your pocket!
Currently this is being handled by our priority customer service department.

First, they added over 18 hours to a layover. Then, I tried to contact them through each of their emails. The links never worked, nor could I actually fill out or click on the "button" that requested they contact me. I tried to work this out five different times: twice through online chats, and three times through phone calls. Two of the ladies that helped me were very polite. The final gentleman, "Rudolph," was short with me from the beginning. This actually prompted my critique - which I'm posting wherever I can. I can understand slight changes, but rudeness when it's being presented makes the whole thing worse. After this, I'll pay extra to avoid CheapOair. They ended up supposedly giving me a full refund - which will take two to three billing cycles according to them.

Even though the message they claimed to have sent me in their response, was never sent to me. (I only got a 2 line notice of a problem with no booking numbers 2 weeks after they stated I’d double booked the room, etc…) Which is what started all the calls as stated in my posting in the first place. And I’m confused how “I” could of booked the room, when clearly their agent had to check my itinerary (see it wasn’t shown as booked yet) and book it for me. I don’t work there. They didn’t tell me they were even working on my case, till the last call I made to them after I was able to talk to the manager. Yes, they have now refunded my payment and the case is settled/closed.

Their agents goofed and double booked a night for my trip to Europe. Now they will not issue a refund since the hotel they mistakenly double booked the night for will not issue a refund. CheapOair screwed up so bad they never even confirmed for me in email or in my online Trips area with them this booking number. So for me it never existed. I complained over and over and after 6 weeks I did get a confirmation email for this night as being booked. They clearly screwed this up. I was finally able to talk to a supervisor after numerous attempts and he says he is looking into it but 99% of the time they never call me back.

I had 3 round trip tickets from the US to Edinburgh, UK via Air France with a long layover at Charles de Gaulle on Dec.18. I had decided to cancel and rebook flights that avoided France because of the situation in Paris. I paid the required $300 cancellation fee. I was left with a credit of $2777.13 with Air France with the understanding that I could use the credit for 3 tickets (same people, same airline and same destination) before 9/3/2016 - 1 year from my original ticket booking.
I spoke with a CheapOair rep. 2/25/2016 to discuss booking 3 flights to Scotland in July or August using my Air France credit. I was shocked to find out that not only did I need to pay the difference between the original ticket purchase price of the non-refundable tickets, I also would have to pay $300 per ticket as a Air France airline penalty. (Missed that information on my cancellation email from CheapOair) So based on the current Air France Pittsburgh to Edinburgh flights, that are bouncing between $1700 and $2000 per person) it will cost me about $2200 per ticket for economy class seats.
I had flight insurance but the terrorist situation voided my insurance. In fairness to the CSR with CheapOair, she was very nice. However, unless Air France drops their prices back to about the $1000 I originally paid, I will have to forfeit my $2777.13. I have used CheapOair as a booking agent on several occasions without any complications. However, I will not fly Air France again. Any future air travel will be through different airlines and possibly different agents.

Everyday I would spend at least an hour trying all different websites, comparing prices but just not finding anything that fit my budget and timeframe. I kept going back to CheapOair hoping I could find my perfect fit, but the schedules were not working for me. I decided to call. The customer service professional went all the way in finding the right deal for me.

They get two stars because both times I called they answered quickly, and I didn't have a problem last time I used them a few years ago. However that's not the experience I got this time. I saw a review similar to mine from February, where basically the site reflects one price and I went to buy the ticket and everything went smoothly until it processed my card. It went back to the search page and the tickets were sold out and I was given no confirmation of my ticket being purchased. No email, and no notice that it didn't go through.
So I called and the first representative told me that all the passengers have been calling with the same complaint because the site has not been updated in real-time to reflect the new more expensive prices. Then I was told I could get the ticket for $100 more (370). When I complained about this I was told the tickets should actually be $100 more than that but he was giving me a discount. I declined the offer, hung up and read some reviews, and called back. The next representative told me a similar story and said they could only offer what their system gave them and found a cheaper flight (330) but with two different stops. Still more expensive than the original price. Feels like a bait and switch.

I booked a ticket online outside of USA and had some problems with payments. I sent a request and within a minute a person called me and accepted the payment of almost 1000$ for a triple connection flight. I clearly stated to him (as I had checked on the webpage while booking) that I needed travel insurance in case of delays or other problems, particularly important when traveling such a long distance. He assured me I had the insurance.
The day after I change the booking by day, worried about one of the layover was too short. Same problems, with payments of small amount due to the changes and I was told to call the company myself. It took me 15 minutes calling internationally getting this simple issue fixed and I asked the salesperson why the flight was cheaper than I paid yesterday. She stated I didn't have an insurance and didn't qualify for that since I was outside of USA. I told her that I had clearly stated that to the salesman the day before and he assured me of it, as I paid for it. The second salesperson told me I had been (unknowingly) been refunded the amount he charged for the insurance later that day, since I did not qualify for the insurance.
Shocked and angry by this dishonesty I told her I could not use this flight without insurance. She referred me to another salesperson, who claimed the connection was bad until the phone call broke. After that the same scheme went on. I kept on having to wait on the phone for 15-20 min per salesperson claiming another one would know more and assist, that was a lie. I was not able to cancel the flight and get a refund because I had no insurance! Yes... the main issue from the beginning that I had problems with and was lied to. Having all the communications on both our halves on e-mail to prove my case that I was clearly misinformed and tricked as the salesperson has admitted that according to my phone calls, e-mails they have on record - they still resist on refunding me the flight ticket.
This has not taken over 6 weeks of useless communications back and forth where the company policy is obviously to pass the customers between each other and trying to wear them out and keep them waiting. Claim they are going to contact me, supervisors will do the same - and nothing happens. Finally when they do call me they continue the game of having me wait while they consult somebody else with the same results. I am not new to online bookings and with good results, but never before with CheapOair that in this case happened to have the most convenient connection flights available. I warn others of dishonesty and sketchy working methods that can only be stated as a scam!

Their bad reputation starts with their own website of reviews. The bad ones are crossed out and ghostly font and have factual basis crossed with red stamp. You can see for yourself if scroll down to a second page. You can read my story. It's long, couldn't make it shorter. You can skip to the bottom and see what they did for me. Nothing there is no customers service. The worst company I ever booked tickets with. But can you expect with a name like CheapOair. My experience with CheapOair has been the worst to date.
I booked my ticket over the phone with an agent from Toronto to Phnon Phen, Cambodia. He advised me on the return flight I was having a 17 layover in Shanghai, China, which I didn't mind since I have a friend there. The agent didn't tell me that I have a 24-hour layover in Nanning, China. Once I got my ticket I realized, my change over in Nanning in large bold blue letters it said: "0 hours and 0 minutes". I didn't really examine my return ticket, but I checked the Visa requirements for Shanghai, China. You can stay there as a tourist for 72 without getting a Visa.
After my wonderful trip, I found myself in Phnon Phen airport at the China Eastern Airlines asking them that for my transfer is 0 hours and 0 minutes. I was flying in at 4 pm and flying out at 4 pm. They said I will figure it out. On the plane I was staring at the ticket and yes, I found the mistake. I was arriving on the Jan 10th at 4 pm but leaving 24 later on the Jan 11th at 4 pm, but even their computer system with CheapOair did not catch it. Slight inconvenience, but I would deal with it. Until, I arrived in Nanning and was immediately detained by the immigration. My flight from Shanghai was two days later and it Nanning the time allowance to stay without a Visa is 24 hours. Same country but each city has different allowed time allowances without a Visa.
I was detained by 3 hours. I could not get my luggage, the airport was closing, and I was surrounded by 9 people who were holding on to my passport and discussing my destiny. The rep from the airline told me, I have to leave the country in 24 hours. He changed my flight to Shanghai to fly out earlier from Nanning, so I could deal with that issue at a bigger airport. In Shanghai, I tried changing my flight to anywhere in North America just to get out of China. But since it's a different destination I had to buy a whole new ticket which was $1900 CND.
Otherwise I would have to pay and a fee and be blacklisted and since I travel for work I could not afford to be blacklisted. In total I paid $3800 CND to travel to Asia on economy with both my tickets. What CheapOair did for me is nothing. I didn't use part of my flight. They don't want to reimburse me. They even told me that I was informed of the 24 Layover in Nanning. I was not informed, and I would not agree to fly home for 72 hours. And if they knew then their computer systems would change and put 24 hours transfer in bold blue letters on my electronic ticket.

After I logged off from CheapOair on my computer, I received a call from one of their representatives asking me if they could help since I did not book the trip from Las Vegas, NV to Tel Aviv, Israel that I was looking for. I was so surprised and impressed receiving the call as it was 2:30 am in Las Vegas. The gentleman was calling from their call center in India. It was 3:30 pm their time. He spend a great deal of time going over many flight options and found the one I really wanted which seemed to have disappeared on their site. He spoke excellent English and was extremely patient with me. Because of his excellent service, I booked the flights that I wanted.
I was so impressed with him that I asked if I could write a letter on his behalf. He asked if I would like to speak to his supervisor, which of course I said yes. I relayed all the above to his supervisor. CheapOair has gotten free advertising from me since I have told all of my friends and family my great experience with them and to use them when booking air and other offerings they have.

I never got a call or email and that is very unprofessional and just bad customer service.

They wanted to charge me an additional $350+ dollars to re-book the exact same flight. After reading some reviews/comments which look to have been attempted to remove, it seems like a common practice for CheapOair to offer a price ONLY to cancel due to "verification" issue and then want more money to re-book, a common illegal bait and switch scheme. Any bank verification is handled by my bank and I receive a text for any fraudulent activity. I am highly discouraged and disappointed with CheapOair and how they conduct themselves. Their customer service is outsourced and doesn't seem to convey any empathy or sympathy for the heartache they cause.

I booked 6 months ahead of time & chose my seats. CheapOair did NOT confirm my seats and as such, 5 days before I was to leave, they called to tell me I did NOT have any seat and I needed to call the airline. I called the airline and they told me CheapOair should have taken care of this. In the end ONLY Virgin America got me a seat, but since there was no coach left I had to pay extra for upgrade. CheapOair should have paid for THEIR error. Then to add insult to injury, CheapOair called 5 additional times to tell me about my new seat assignment that they had NOTHING to do with. I will NEVER use CheapOair again. And another reason to not use this site, I could not choose 1 star. Got some bogus message about an error submitting details. Seems they only want good reviews.

The booking was made on February 2 for a Boutique Air flight on February 22. When my wife arrived at the check-in desk she was told that Boutique Air that there was no flights and as a matter of fact that they had discontinued the route 2 weeks earlier. They also told me that CheapOair had been notified and asked to contact passengers (i.e. my wife) booked on the flight. (This because the airline only had her name, but not her contact details).
When I call CheapOair I am told that the airline had not informed CheapOair so I should not ask CheapOair for a refund, but to contact the airline for a refund. From a customer perspective this is not the answer I want to hear. My dealings were with CheapOair, not the airline. I paid CheapOair for the ticket and should not have to chase down the airline as I do not think they are charging CheapOair for a flight on a discontinued route. In other words, the money paid for the ticket is in CheapOair's bank account.
I also wonder about CheapOair's customer service/complaints department as there is no available number to call for this type of a complaint. I googled your home page, and tried 2 different numbers to CheapOair, but in both cases I got connected a sales rep in India (with terrible reception). One of the agents also insinuated that he did not believe this particular flight had been cancelled... I would like an explanation from CheapOair and also to ask whether you think your way of resolving this issue is constitutes good service? PS.

The small print was unclear about the cost. I am still not sure what I paid for, but there were multiple charges on my credit card in addition to the $807 advertised rate. It ended up costing me over $150 more in hidden charges. In attempting to find out what the charges were I was transferred many times, put on hold many times, and always had to talk to someone from a different country who barely spoke audible English, and finally was told the billing department had to call me back. I will NEVER book through this company again.

I had to travel round trip on specific days. I could not be more pleased how the agent facilitated and made that possible. She spent good time with me in securing other connecting flights making my need met. Without her help, I would have had to cancel my trip altogether... She was polite articulate, and considerate of all my questions and concerns. I was very appreciative and thankful for her efforts. I would simply give her a "perfect".

I was very happy with the help that I received in helping me book my flight to Germany. Everything was explained to me and my person was very helpful. I would book again.

Excellent, personable & thorough! Not happy about the change fee price! It really is unfair to charge over $100 to change a 1-way ticket! I had to change it. Please respond with any reconsideration or reduced/partial or change fee refund!

My son booked a trip leaving from Iowa in December to NM. A bad snowstorm postponed it by three days and then the "crew" he was flying out with slept in while delaying the flight by 5 hours. When it was time to take off the flight was again delayed due to a accident at O'Hare in Chicago. There were no longer any connecting flights to NM for 2 days which would have given him a one-day visit with a friend and 2 nights in an airport. He did not get one dime back for any of his troubles but did learn a valuable life lesson. You get what you pay for. Don't fly in the winter, NEVER use any site with the word "cheap" in it and don't trust someone who tells you you'll get your money back if it's an act of God. Short of the plane disintegrating in mid-air you aren't getting jack.
