I am not very familiar with internet booking or ordering anything on the internet, but since I was interested in a trip to Europe and needed a good price for the flights I decided to try it. The booking with your company was easy and fast and the price to my liking.

I see on the Hotel Price Details that there is a entry for $2223.44 and it should be $1110.46. Stella may have gone over this with me, but not sure. My head is still spinning from all the info. I do have a sheet that says there was a cancellation for something...don't have it at hand and I would be reimbursed. Can you tell me what that was for? My total is $3,691.61 which is about $1,000 or more over what it should be. Does that have something to do with a cancellation of something..the room??? Oh, on the review that I left before this one... NO. I have not received any incentive for doing that one. Thank you.

All good... Everything came through this time, I got sick last week and had to miss the flight, transfer to a later date rejected... Disappointed considering I've booked through you people all the time and there's one hiccup and I get tossed to the curb... Sad.

Forget what brought me to Bangkok... I had a jolly time; Let us concentrate on the nightmare CheapOair has pulled me through: from a botched ticket reservation to obfuscating any responsibilities about their unacceptable client service. I originally purchased a round-trip ticket and paid over $425 for seat upgrades; I am a tall traveler and understand that seat choices are now an upcharge. I was promised the seat updates would be honored on the new sets of travel passes issued. Indeed, I received a ticket confirmation reflecting the changes and my paid seat assignments. However, at the airport check-in desk, I was made aware that these seats were invalid, and the attendee explained that the seats assigned to me were no "upgradable" choices. I could not reach CheapOair from either LAX nor Bangkok, and on my return flight, I was again told that the seat assignment on my ticket confirmation was unavailable.
I contacted CheapOair from Korea airport, where I had a six-hour layover and the representative escalated my inquiry to a supervisor "Bryan," who hung up on me... I have since conducted an internet survey about other passengers with similar experiences with CheapOair and find myself aligned with their dilemma. Void this company! The baggage insurance I paid for was not transferred to the new ticket and is equally invalid... I requested my money fully returned for upsells. CheapOair sent me two days after I returned an email, claiming I had been reimbursed... That is not factual, either. To add insult to injury, I learned that my CheapOair ticket purchase was not a deal. I could have easily purchased my airfare directly from the airline for the total amount I had paid. Be aware of this!
This has been resolved and refunds processed.

I booked the ticket 2 days ago. I got charged half the amount and not the full amount. On 9th Feb 2023, I check my flight status on the website since I had received no communication via email and saw a payment error. Their website kept throwing me in a loop. I click on congratulations and it took me to the error page where it asked me to update my payment. When I clicked on update me payment it took me back to the confirmation page. So in short the website was of no use.
I later called their customer service team. They kept on transferring me for over an hour and no one knew the right department. Finally someone from the credit card decline team said they would cater the issue. They told me that I will receive a call in 3-4 hours and I kept waiting the entire day and received nothing. Next day, 10th Feb 2023, I called again to check what's wrong. Again I had to wait for over an hour just to get connected to the right person who then said she would be able to charge my card for the other partial payment. She successfully charged my card but I received no email from you guys again. She assured me that in 2-3 minutes I would receive it. I call again after a few hours and again went through the same process of transfers. One agent said that your booking is cancelled then another said its processing, they kept on transferring me to different people and the issue is still not solved.
The entire process was EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING and made me felt like screaming my lungs out. I hope my complaint gets taken seriously. Between this a customer service representative deliberately even cut the call and another named “Yzag” deliberately transferred my call to the sales when I asked for a supervisor.

I’m so confused from the information that was provided to me by 2 different agents about booking a flight that I had to cancel in December. Even though I finally got booked, I don’t see any confirmation of that in “my upcoming trip “. I was told that I could choose my seat at no extra cost; when I tried to do so, it showed that I would be charged a fee. Don’t know what to do.

I bought 2 tickets with costs of $2,247.98 on January 19, Immediately they charged the money to my card, after 3 days they canceled my return trip. From that day on I started calling for help to get a return trip, calling every day, and they are never able to solve the problem. They neither accommodated me on a return trip nor do they want to return my money. They told me that it is the airline that has to return my money, they passed me from person to person, and no one could ever solve me. I also called the Israeli airline called (EL AL), the airline tells me that it is Cheap O Air who has to return my money. I have been calling day after day Since January 22 that they canceled my return trip, neither EL AL nor CheapOAir wanted to return my money. I would never recommend that you buy tickets with CheapoAir or EL AL. You are at high risk of having their flights canceled after the money is charged.
Buying airline tickets with these two companies is putting your money at their mercy so they can do what they want. It has been the worst experience I have had in the 50 years that I have been buying airline tickets. Neither of them have done anything to return my money. It is very frustrating to call daily and that nobody solves you. I have spoken with Marie Antoinette, Adrienn, Rabbid, Bartol, and with 7 other people from Cheapoair and no one give me any responsible answer. With personnel from El AL (Israeli airline, I have spoken with more than 7 people and they have not resolved me either. The last one I spoke with was Vin, and he told me that they cannot give me more information because they risk losing their job.

My card did not allow for a 10 dollar fee and a 108 dollar luggage fee. I was sent a link and paid for the 10 dollars by another card for the luggage. I was told to call. But that is very expensive from Egypt. I chatted 3 times but nothing happened. I asked for a an email to be sent to me and I would add a new card. Nothing. Today I called, and after 30 minutes on line I was told I would be called. What a waste of time and money. I live in Egypt. I work. How are you going to call me? Just send me an e mail for the 108 dollars and I will add a new card. Very simple. Sorry but I am NOT impressed by your service at all.

Always try to book ticket from airline company website. I booked ticket from CheapOair and single alphabet was misspelled ‘n’ instead of ‘m’. I called cheapoair to correct the single alphabet.

The company has resolved the issue.
Original Review: Feb. 7, 2023
Do not use this company. I will save you time, money and frustration. Credits issued by Cheapoair are worthless. Any rebooking will always cost you significantly more or the credit effectively becomes worthless. Agents change their interpretation of their own guidelines, try to push you off because they have no authority to provide a customer with a reasonable rebooking. Do not use this company even if the “bargain“ airfare looks attractive. Their relationship with the airlines is not sufficiently strong to help you get any reasonable satisfaction.

Purchased flights with cancellation insurance (work-related trip). Got a positive covid test a few days before the trip and tried to cancel the tickets - turns out it's a scam. I would suggest avoiding the site by all means - what you see below on their site here is simply a lie. https://www.cheapoair.com/miles-away/6-reasons-to-buy-travel-protection-with-your-next-flight/
Trip cancellation insurance does not cover, change of plans. It is for a medical emergency, admitted to the hospital, lost or delayed bags, and or delayed flights. Covid related is not a covered benefit that the airline will refund you. You will need to take your covid positive test results and submit to the insurance company. The PDF file was provided on our website that get's into the description of the coverage, along with how to file a claim. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

We had a terrible experience with this agency and we will never buy tickets from them again. Last year in August we traveled to Europe and our returning flight was delayed. We were in the airport waiting for our flight and the workers at that terminal told us that the our flight was first canceled and then delayed. After that, we lost our connecting flight and we had to stay in Germany until the next day. This agency didn't contact us about any changes. We were supposed to come back home on Sunday but we came home on Monday. After that chaos we came home then called this agency and they told us they are not responsible for any delays, and they don't have any control of the situation. Poor customer services, Don't ever buy tickets thru them!

Agent did not offered the cheapest price and availability. I had to point out the flight number for him. He also would not let me call back later for information of my traveler mate. He insisted that I call her, at that time it was 5:45 am here in Las Vegas, NV. Agent also talked very fast when it came to Cheapo Air Policy. It was so hard to understand what he said. However, Agent did not went over my meals option. I am a diabetic. I also was not informed of the luggage weight requirement. For additional extra charges for his service, I was very disappointed in Cheapo Air. If your computer system was a bit user friendly, I would not have to depend on this Agent help.

I booked flights through CheapOair that were cancelled due to covid. It was impossible to get through by phone, which was understandable due to the large volume of people whose situation was up in the air at the time. Eventually after filling out a form, I was sent an email that the money I paid would be credited to my CheapOair account. There was no mention of any expiration date and when I called to check, their phones were still encouraging people to fill out a form due to large volume of calls due to pandemic. I filled out a form and received an email telling me "no further action is required from you." and was provided a number to call when I'm ready to rebook.
When it became safe to call and rebook, I was told that the credit had expired and was only good for a year. This was not only not communicated in any way, but a year out from March 2020 (when I got voucher) was before I had even received my first vaccination and was certainly not safe to fly internationally yet so their deadline was also unrealistic. After talking to numerous supervisors who were more interested in blaming me for not booking sooner than trying to find a solution during unprecedented times, I was told they would not refund my flight. I travel often and will never use CheapOair ever again.

We used to regularly use CheapOAir.com. We recently tried to book a trip and were quoted $3,000. I called in with a question and they said they could do the trip for $2800 to help out. The phone was hard to hear so he got my call back number and called me back. As he was processing my card, we get disconnected and he never calls back. I call back about 2 hours later, and I'm told my trip went from $2800 to $3800! They wouldn't honor the price so I got pissed and told them never mind. THEN, I jump back on their website a few days later and I see my trip is not $3k again! So I call in, verifying everything before I book. This time the guy says he can do the EXACT trip for $2900. I say go for it, then he goes, "Oh wait, now it's $3200". I say "well I have your website right in front of me and its $3000. He says "then book it there", so I do.
He asks for the CONFIRMATION number, which I give him and he says, yeah, that's going to be $350 MORE than I had a confirmed trip booked for. No other reason besides "The price went up". So I have a booking number with a $3k price tag that is useless and they are now charging me $3300. I have to go on this trip so they have me over a barrel. The worst experience I've ever had. Keep in mind he said "the automated system comes up with the pricing and it's not always accurate". Well, this company is owned by Travelocity, which also owns Expedia and other sites. You'd think that they would have that part of their business nailed down by now. I will never book with any other companies under the CheapOAir or Travelocity family of companies ever again.

!!Buyer Beware!! I had originally purchased a flight to Missouri to see my daughter graduate from military academy back in 2020. Thankfully I purchased the insurance to protect my flight against any unforeseen cancellation. Covid obviously had an impact on my flight and so it had to be cancelled. I was sent an email stating that I had until the end of 2021 to use my credit with American Airlines. I made a reservation in December to book a flight in June of 2022. Which I made sure to again purchase the travel protection which my credit also covered.
A few weeks before my flight I had to cancel my flight for unforeseen reasons. They cancelled my flight and sent me another email stating that again I had until the end of 2022 to rebook a flight with my credit minus the cancellation fee. I called in December to book a flight for February 2023. To see my daughter who is now in Texas, in the military serving this great country. Cheapoair customer service told me that I had to call in September 2022 to rebook a flight that had to be used by the end of 2022. I told them that's not what the email stated and that I was never informed of the September deadline.
This whole experience has been very disappointing and frustrating. My daughter was unable to come home for the holidays and so I was looking forward to using my credit to visit her. Never again would I use Cheapoair for travel. I would not recommend them to friends or family. Buyer beware. Your peace of mind is worth the few extra dollars booking directly with the airline. I have travelled many different countries and as an experienced traveler only book directly with the airline. Good luck.

Want to play lottery on if you're flying out today or tomorrow? Come to CheapOAir. Want to see your itinerary stay the same, but flights change 3-4 times in a week? Come to CheapOAir. Trying to deal with their "customer" service was worse than getting dental work done. Had a family member's flight changed numerous times in under a week, and all they can say is "it's the airline's fault, talk to them." But the tickets were purchased through you, Mr. CheapO. "We don't have the flight information, but everything is the same as the itinerary we sent you." Tell that to the Airlines' attendant that's pulling up no information for the customer that was supposed to be on the flight. No cancellation or notice of delay was sent, so how is this good "customer" service? Well, it's not. Zero stars is a more accurate rating but that is not possible unfortunately.

bookings and commitments arranged in Manila already, so cancellation is out of the question.
Cheapoair probably want an easy way out and would even charge me penalty for cancellation and re sell the ticket at a higher price. This is so frustrating and stressful since the flight is only 4 days from now and issue has not been resolved. The supervisor who returned call a few days ago said they need more time. They have more than 2 months to resolve issue! This is the second time we have problem with this company. Paying customers are at their mercy, company cannot be trusted, you must be ready with other options if you book with them or better if you book with other travel agency. This is the most horrifying experience I had in booking a flight.

I booked a ticket for two passenger a month ago using the phone. I made sure to receive a confirmation email saying my booking is confirmed. A day before, I logged into my email clicked on the link they sent me by email and saw that my booking was indeed confirmed. There is even the ticket price and everything. When I arrived to the airport, they told me my booking was not scheduled.... turns out CheapOair did schedule my ticket and never called me to check. I lost transportation, hotels and vacation days because of them mishandling my booking.
When I contacted them again by phone, they said they were sorry and offered me to buy another ticket with my own money... This is company going to the ground. They have a terrible buggy website. Really long wait times and its seems they don't even have their own call centers. The agent at the end of the line seemed to be calling from outside... there were dogs barking. I only bought from them because they were a Canadian company. Shame on them! Do not trust them with your vacation or your credit cards information. I will try to sue them too. Hope it helps.

Both be the trip protection People and CheapOair representatives. My Alaska credit card also has trip protection for any travel purchases made on the card. I called them and they filed a claim and ultimately decided to refund our money.
Now 6 months later CheapOair is sending us to collections saying we owe a non refundable fee of 362. We are going to fight it but this is your forewarning. Do NOT use CheapOair.

I booked a flight from Toronto to Washington, then a lady called me to explain that if I buy a seat, they will give me a discount code which can be used for a returning flight. Thinking I would save some money, i paid for the seat $13. After a week of explaining what they promised because the agent never left a message or note, one agent finally offered me the coupon to book for my return flight. I was happy at first, then the moment I applied the coupon, I saw that it saved me 0.09 cents. This is funny and so frustrating at the same time.

Booked got hotel and air confirmation, got a call 2 hours later that the hotel was fully booked. OK, stuff happens, guy told me he would call and verify that there was no open room and would let me know the next day. I told him if there is no vacancy to cancel and credit it back. After 2 days without hearing back I called again. Told my reservation was changed to another hotel. This was after I told them no and without my permission so I asked again for a refund. They started saying there would be an $250 charge for cancelling if though their own site made the mistake of taking a booking when there was no room available. I think this is their business plan. Make money on cancellation fees when taking bookings that can't be made.
They continued as I protested after over 10 calls and the fee slowly was going to be less and less but I said no way. Asked multiple times for a supervisor and always told none are available or they will call me back. Never happened. Finally they sent the credit for the airfare. I asked about where was the hotel credit. They told me they set my money to the hotel, same one that had no room, and they had to wait for it to be routed back. I call bull on this one. After numerous calls and hours on the phone I finally got my credit back. Customer service calls are routed out of the US, guessing to India. Never Never again.

He kept assuring me and fast-talking me through some fees that this was normal, it was not. I did a chargeback and won. Booked directly through the airlines. These people will lie, cheat, and steal to get your hard-earned money. Unethical is a nice way to describe them. If something happens to your flight and you need help from the airlines to either book another one or get a hotel you are screwed if you choose to book through CheapOair. You’ll be sitting at the airport while the rest of your party or family travels on if there are any delays or cancellations, you will most likely just kiss your money goodbye on top of paying more through the airline.

Subject: Need refund for my ticket and Airlines put remark for full refund. I have booked ticket with CheapOair in March, 2022. When I booked my flight, I had a layover of 3 hours, Now the Airlines made changes and the layover is 28 hours. I did not accept the change. Since past 1 month I have been calling CheapOair for help, but no luck. Is this the way you are running a business? How can such terrible company can win an award? Ladies staff is pathetic. They don’t know how to transfer a basic call, they will say please be on hold but they will just disconnect, Disrespectful.
After being on hold sometimes for more than an hour no one answers, there is a dead end! So we call again and the process is repeated continuously. We want our money. We work hard to earn money unlike you guys who are earning bogusly by cheating customers. Airlines put REMARK on my ticket as it's eligible for full refund, due to the changes made by airlines. Why the heck you guys have issue in generating a refund? Are you in greed of customer’s money?
You guys are not running business ethically as the customer service sucks. Representatives treated us like football and seriously they don’t know how to look into the matter, because they are not trained and the department which is trained does not want to come and resolve the issue? How the business is running? Saw lot of other complaints as well where, you guys ask customer to go to airlines and airlines doesn’t have any issue. But you guys want to give hard time to customer, for What? Are you paying us? Or because we give you business you are getting paid? Still you guys don’t want to work formal way.

Cheapoair issued me a ticket that was not valid and left me stranded in LAX. The airline told me that a refund was processed requested by Cheapoair that was not credited to me. I called Cheapoair and asked for an explanation and they made a lot of excuses. They refunded the money 2 weeks later but I had to buy another ticket double the price as I had to urgently visit my mother who was sick.

My wife and I are trying to visit each other while I am stationed in South Korea. We are using CheapOair as a third party to get decent deals on plane tickets. There was a scheduled change through the airline to our itinerary and we need to accept the change to be issued our new tickets. This shouldn't be a big deal considering we can accept through either CheapOair or the flight agencies we are flying with per CheapOair policy. That is not the case though, we cannot accept the change through the owning agency and CheapOair has had my wife on hold for 5 hours as she is trying to resolve the issue. The owning agency was even willing to give us a discounted flight ticket and let us book directly through them. CheapOair has disconnected both call and online tech help from my wife as of 12 AM EST two hours prior to the customer service line closing.
It is pretty obvious CheapOair wants this issue to go unresolved as the flight is in a few days so we are forced into paying and not getting a refund as we requested. Which we are entitled to as we have gotten trip insurance. In all, if you book through this company expect the risk of your itinerary change resulting in no flight. Instead, use them to find the deal, call the airline directly and inform them you found a better deal but do not wish to use a third party and they will most likely be willing to adjust prices to the cheaper ones on the site.

I would have given them a 1 star, but my domestic flight experiences with them have been fairly okay. For international flights, I would highly recommend booking directly through the Airline's website. CheapoAir can make a very expensive mistakes and not own up to it. On a $6000 international ticket booking (4 tickets), they charged me extra $854 for seat selection. That's fair enough (it's disclosed), but imagine they booked seats in row 44 (near the toilets), instead of the row 18 (front row) that I paid for. Their agents for some reason will lie a lot (Saying we tried contacting you or blaming something on the Airline or even blaming the client himself).
The worst part, it turns out the mistake is on the cheap website, AirCanada website shows the original correct booking in row 18. So, I am not sure why CheapOAir website shows an adhoc row 44. And the agents are still not accepting it. So bottom line book cheaper short distance tickets with them but International travel with CheapOAir is a big risk.

I called American Airlines phone and the recording states to call the agency you booked with to handle any booking problems.
It is also very hard to understand some of the full chat because I believe they speak a different language and maybe using a translator. On the first chat session I was told, "Understand that it is just a letter but there will be fees involved if you make name correction." I said, Don't correct it then. I don't want to pay anymore fees and you kept me on here this long to wait and tell me this." I ended that chat and initiated another chat to see if I would get a different answer. The next chat was worse, so I cancelled the plane tickets within 24 hours and still was charged a $70.00 cancellation fee. I am waiting on a refund of approximately $2700.00.

After all the inconvenience and waste of time, I finally got to talk to an agency on the phone, Elizabeth. She was able to cancel my flight. However, she said due to CheapOair policies, I will not be able to receive a full amount of refund. There is a nonrefundable fee when you book the ticket even though your flight has been canceled or changed out of your control.

When I called them back, they offered me no refund and claimed that I had made the schedule change, which was made on their end.

Original Review: I booked airline tickets for a domestic flight within the U.S. through CheapOAir. One week after booking, I received an email stating that one of the flights was changed from 7 am to 9 pm. I called the company to try and negotiate the original time that I required. I called four times. The first three times I was disconnected after talking to an agent and asking for a change. The fourth time, the agent told me that I was required to call United Airlines (the carrier) to make the change.
Upon speaking with Rose at United Airlines, I was informed that the tickets sold by CheapOAir were not even basic economy. I had to pay United Airlines $49.50 each way just to get into United's basic economy class. I then had to pay the differential of the cost of the time of the original flight from the time that CheapOAir had "assigned" to me without asking. In short, the flight wound up costing me double. And it took me hours of time spent on the phone. I would consider it a service to humanity if CheapOAir went out of business. They also don't allow reviews on their own website. That policy speaks for itself.
Still working with the airline on this to resolve to the customer's satisfaction.

Don't get ticket from them, we were told that our flights were cancelled apparently because of the war going on, how airlines are trying to "lessen" all the flights. Since day 1 I was told I can refund the money/expedite it, to how just wait because the airline might replace/update the flight. Since the cancellation wasn't my fault they assure us that we can totally get the money. After a week I got the email how the flight is now cancelled and I have to call them to officially cancel it or rebook another plane ticket, I have proofs that shows "it's cancelled" and I can full refund. One guy tried to replace our flights, but he said he will call us again by the following week whether the airlines approve it or not, he will call or email us. We called them by the next week since there aren't updates.
During that week and the next week, we called again & again and was told to wait 48 hrs, how the chief supervisor is handling the issue. The the following weeks, we got tired of them saying wait for 48 hours so we called to officially expedite our tickets, when we tried to refund: the customer service will automatically transfer you somewhere else, they will put you on hold for hours and the call would drop. I even tried the online customer service and same thing happened, even the customer service I talked online is such a scam when I said refund my money, he said "I will direct you to the rescheduling department."
We did this for an entire day to a point we got tired and called the bank for a dispute, you know what happened?? I got never ending calls from them, begging that I can finally refund the money. I refused to entertain it on my end because I didn't want to talk and entertain them anymore as I already talked with the bank, and I have lost my trust because of all the false promises this company keeps making I found out online that there are many cases like me and some got "refund" but still waiting for it, some of them are waiting for months, some are waiting for years. Some claims vouchers are given/credit and we can reuse it on a later flight, but the "vouchers" expired and never let them use it again after a year.. Their hand earn money stolen from them..
The money got returned to me temp by the bank but you know what CheapOair did, they changed their statements. They called me and said since the flight was rescheduled I'm only qualified for a "credit voucher", MIND YOU RESCHEDULED. TOTALLY DIFFERENT STATEMENT FROM ALL THE CALLS AND EMAIL THAT I GOT. This is a strategy to steal your money and cancel you out of your eligibility to get your money. I reported everything to my bank, because this is not okay.

Avoid at all costs. On my bank statement they said the flight was fully paid for, however, the ticket on their website was only "partially paid for". When trying to get in contact with customer service credit card cancellations, they kept me waiting for over 40 minutes. They sent me to go to Air Canada (flight provider) and my bank. Called both and they said to call the CheapOair and said nothing they could do. It was up to the company. Absolutely terrible service. Felt like I've been going on a wild goose chase for the past 2 hours.

Cheapoair booked ticket for 5 passengers, we requested to cancel on partial passengers, 2 of them on 28th March, after a while we checked to ask how long credits will be transferred, to our surprise they cancelled for all passengers, I have proof in mail for we cancelled for only 2 passengers and were charged 50 dollars for them both, now we are kept on hold from 4 hrs and the representative says he don’t know who cancelled. All he knows is someone requested cancellation on 2nd April, and we don’t have a cancellation mail or any information, hopeless services, very irresponsible, and where is my money, will not advise to book from them to save inconvenience, still trying to trace my credits for 2 cancellation and answer for other 3 passengers, still on hold from hours.

My husband and I travel a lot, for business and pleasure. Normally we use our favourite airline, but when their itinerary does not fit our schedule, we have to look elsewhere. Several weeks ago, we booked two seats on an ITA (Italia Trasporto Aereo) short haul return flights from Rome to Venice and back in August 2022. Then our itinerary changed, and we need to get to Bologna instead. There were absolutely no alternate potential flights that would work for us (without violating the laws of space and time). We will go by train, instead. So I went on line to cancel the flights
I could NOT cancel on the website. I got lovely red warning boxes to this effect. I was instructed to use the on-line chat feature, which provided completely irrelevant information, before deciding I needed to talk to a live agent. That meant waiting in the queue for about an hour. The real agent asked me to repeat what I had already explained to the “bot”. Then the chat quit, probably because the office closed at 2AM ET… I repeated the same process the next night (because I might be crazy), another long wait, with the same outcome. The chat with a human quit again, just moments after starting. It was NOT 2AM ET.
I explained everything via email, and was advised that I would have to talk to a human being in order to cancel. So I called the number provided, explained everything to the first agent, who then put me on hold to speak with a second agent. Now I have a $25 charge on my phone. Live and learn. Just because you are communicating via their Canadian website about a booking made for a Canadian traveller, don’t assume that they are giving you a Canadian office number to call. I won’t be using CheapOAir again. It is very difficult to change a booking when your travel plans change. Come to think of it, I got nowhere trying to get reimbursed for COVID-cancelled flights in 2020. (OK, I AM crazy).

If I could give it zero I would. Got my flight canceled today and have been on the phone with them all day trying to get my money back. They want to charge me an extra 3k to use my "credit."

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!!

I was reached out to by the company and they made it right. So that definitely makes up for some of the mishaps in my book. My first experience with this company was a good one but I will admit I was turned off by the last two but possibly it was not their fault but due to the state of the world and my own bad luck.

I think I know how they get their fares so low. Advertise unpopular routes that have a good chance of being canceled without caring about the customer's plans. It has now happened two times in a row where my flight that I booked through CheapOair has been canceled by the airline. That is very suspect if you ask me. Couple that with terrible customer service that you can only reach by phone call and you have a terrible service. Here's a tip: look up the flight on these kind of websites and then book using the airline. I was also charged long distance for trying to fix my flight about 55$. Thanks for the inconvenience cheapoair!

I book flight with Cheapoair.com on January 30 with insurance for flight on February 4, 2022. At 2:51am just couple hours before my flight, I received email that my flight was canceled and rescheduled due to inclement weather for 8:43am. Couple hours late received stating my flight was canceled and rescheduled for February 5th. At this point I call Cheapoair, they told me to call the airline. I called the airline and they tried their best to get me on flight for February 4th because I had to be at my destination that date. After airline was unable to help me, I had to call CheapOair back.
This were good the customer service ended. My flight also eventually got canceled again to another date which I was able to take because once again I had to be at my destination on February 4th. Upon speaking Cheapoair, they were rude and didn't care that my flight was canceled because of the weather. I was on the phone with for more than 8 hours. If I wasn't getting put on whole for hours and then disconnected, I was getting yelled at. I even try to use their chat option and that was unsuccessful as well. Each time I take to person I was told something different from employees to supervisor. Paying insurance when book your flight doesn't mean anything. Save yourself from headache & drama us and other sites or book directly with airline company.

Cheapo Air is purposely misleading consumers by offering the so called Cheapest Airfare so they come up on search engines sites first to direct unsuspecting victims to their scam by omitting add ons and omitting seat placement fee until after purchasing the plane tickets. After already paying for every possible upgrade such as cancellation fee, carry on baggage fee, luggage check on fee, assistance fee, etc.. We finally believed we were at the end of all the add on charges and made our decision to go ahead and purchase the airline tickets to our dismay.
Minutes later after the transaction had already been accepted on our Credit Card we get a phone call from an operator in India on behalf of Cheapo Air asking for an additional fee of $139 for a seat placement fee that was not openly offered on the flight reservation page or our initial purchase time. Highly dishonest tactic to scam the unsuspecting consumer after we had already committed and couldn't change or back out without another fee or loss of ticket money. This is absolutely a dishonest move by Cheapoair. They tried blaming the Airline that it was their policy however Cheapo Air is facilitating this dishonest tactic and is complicit in this Bait and Switch scam.
We will be informing anyone and everyone on Social Media, Better Business Bureau, and leave negative reviews where ever possible to help keep other unsuspecting victims from being misled by Cheapo Air. There should be a Class Action Lawsuit brought forward for false advertising and consumer fraud on behalf of consumers..Cheapo Air should drop this dishonest tactic immediately.
Our apologies for the recent experience you had.

Bought two tickets from their website (of course, I did not read the THOUSANDS of horror stories about them on the internet prior to this, stupid me) and did not think anything about it. Total 1865$. For some reason a week later I needed to cancel them and I was offered by CheapOair to cancel them for a credit and pay a fee of 50$. I did. Then I searched their website and found a cheaper flight. I said to myself, "Cool, I'll buy this with my "credit"." That's where my horror story begins. You see, their system was blocking me from using my so-called "credit" to buy the flight. All it said was to call a number so I can use my "credit".
So I call the number and end up in what seems to be a cheap Indian call center with rude, unprofessional staff that speak almost unintelligible English. I manage to explain that I want to use my "credit" to buy this particular flight and surprise...surprise... They laughed and said I need to pay full price for the flight (even though the flight was 1700$ and I had a so-called credit of 1865$). As if my credit was 0$ for them. After a couple minutes they even put me on hold for like 45 minutes then another rude Indian picked up the phone and eventually hung up on me.
It didn't take me very long to realized the fraud they are doing, is that they claim you have a "credit" but it's completely impossible to use and if you want to book a flight you have to pay again. Well now it's been 1 month I have been trying to recoup my money or my "credit", it seems what they are doing is deliberate fraud. They owe me 1865$ and I am taking many legal actions against them, including a credit card chargeback. I want to warn anyone against doing anything with CheapOair - read all of the reviews (horror stories) about them first and avoid them like the plague. They are the worst scammers I have had to deal with in a long time.

I booked a roundtrip ticket from Los Angeles to overseas on Feb. 2022 through CheapOair.com flying with Aeroflot. 2 Weeks later, US government banned this airline flying to or from USA. So, I called Cheapoair for a full refund and rep., who answered from another country named Harried, with bad accent and dogs barking in the background. Eventually, transferred to supervisor desk and person named Tushar told me that "airline has to refund your money but not us" (which is not true). He told me to call back in 24 hours because he was sending them email. I was calling them for next few days and been told same thing from 3 other supervisors. The last supervisor put me on hold for almost 1 hour to contact airline and told me she was unable to contact.
Same time, while I was on hold, I called the airline myself from different phone and talked to the Aeroflot rep, who told me that I had to get my money back from the place of the purchase. It was total nightmare dealing with this company because the way they handle it makes me feel that I am not in USA, and this company is seems like scam. I didn't get my money back yet, which I saved for 2 year to buy this tickets. New tickets with different airline is $1000 more than I paid for because dates are closer. Fight is ongoing and I would not let the company owner enjoy my money in New York City. Stay away from this company. It was my mistake to not check the reviews before booking trough CheapOair.com. Many negative reviews for 2022.

I was scheduled to fly from South Africa to Canada via Amsterdam. Travel bans from South Africa to the Netherlands had just been implemented so I tried to contact Cheapoair in as many ways as I could and never received a response from them. I tried to cancel my flight through Cheapoair because of the travel bans, but was unsuccessful because I couldn't reach an agent. A few hours before my flight was scheduled to depart, I received an email from Cheapoair saying that my flight had been cancelled for the portion of the flight to the Netherlands. I tried to contact Cheapoair to see what I could do to leave the country and was told that I was being redirected to the flight change department. I waited for an hour and had no response. Cheapoair had ended the conversation.
I tried to contact Cheapoair again and was told that my flight had not been cancelled and that I was marked as a "no show". I have the email to show that the flight was cancelled! I was then referred to the same flight change department. This time I got the chat assistant to give me the number and email address for this department. I have tried for months to contact ANYONE at Cheapoair that can help and have still not had the issue resolved. Every time I try to reach an agent on their chat it takes me an hour of waiting. I am going to see if there is a legal route I can take. Don't use Cheapoair!!!

We booked a flight to Paris in 2019 with Cheapoair, then the pandemic just killed our plans to go to Europe. Cheapoair was unable to offer a refund, while the airline would have. So, we wanted to change the flight to Cancun. Hours and hours talking to the Indian hotline later, we were able to do so, while losing about 2,000 CAD in taxes and processing fees. Cheapoair was not able to inform us, that the airline declined to reissue the tickets, so we canceled the hotel and had to rebook half a year later. At one point we had a direct flight between Cancun and Calgary, but the airline decided to cancel the direct flight and send us through Vancouver. A couple of days later the direct flight was back on their website, but CheapOair refused to book us on it again (no seats left - haha).
Last but not least, the check-in process at the airport took us about 1 hour, because the flight tickets were disassociated. All in all, I would say I spent about 30 hours on multiple days in the waiting line of the hotline. Supervisors who wanted to call back in 24-48 hours never did. Sometimes the audio quality of the people calling back was so poor, that I had to simply hang up and try again. 90% of the people were completely incompetent and not helpful for example of the disassociated tickets... If there would be a zero-star rating, Cheapoair would deserve it...

Now we have to use it before it expires and rebook a flight for same route and passengers. I’ve been contacting them for two days already and today 23 Feb 2022, Cheapoair is claiming they don’t have FULL control of my booking and Virgin Australia was claiming the same because my payments and booking was made through cheapoair.

He didn’t hang up on me like the two call agents from Cheapoair did, Dave stayed with me on the line until he was able to resolved my rebooking.
Apart from Dave, I am extremely disappointed with their customer service And process. It feels like I was scammed By Cheapoair believing that I was able to book cheaper flight But in reality, I paid MORE!!! Than the actual price at Virgin Australia, plus the extra Charges.
Cancellation fee $50USD (due to covid lockdown and travel restriction).Rebooking of my Travel Voucher $119.16USD.
Cheapoair sent me an email that Rebooking fee is $0.00 but apparently this was also a lie/fraud/false marketing. I had no choice but to pay the rebooking of tickets. Cheapoair company and service is a total scam. It’s unfortunate that there are good People working in that company that’s affected with the totality of their service which is extremely poor and horrible.

I booked a flight to go to the Philippines in March of 2020. But because the pandemic was starting to get worse, I phoned Cheapoair to cancel. I understand it was really busy and when I finally got a chance to talk to someone, I was told to call again 72 hours before my scheduled flight. I tried and tried and it was a challenge to get a hold of someone. It was a booking for two and I was hoping to get a refund and pay the admin fee. The staff I talked to advised me to call the Airline instead. There were connecting flights so I ended up calling the airlines. Westjet was really helpful but PAL told me to contact the ticketing agent instead, so I called Cheapoair. I purchased a travel insurance with this booking through their website so Cheapoair said they can't do anything about it and call the insurance company instead.
The worst part, it was declined because apparently, covid was not covered. So, travel insurance seems to be a joke as well. My co-worker who booked the same as me got a refund so it was interesting how they decide (with travel insurance). I tried calling and emailing Chepoair for assistance and clarification but I received no response after that. It was very frustrating because I didn't get any help and no other explanation. I even quoted the booking number of my friend who got her refund back for their reference. I just lost my money like that?
A lot of people I talked to got some credit for future flights but I was the unlucky one. I thought I was talking to professional people who understand and willing to help in every way they can to alleviate the stress and frustrations of their customers, but I thought wrong. I can't even fathom how they think it's alright. I hope they will still revisit my request and do something about it. I've used Cheapoair in the past and may consider using it again, but they need to learn to deal with their customers issues the best way they can and not leave them without answers.
