    Most terrible travel company ever. The website is difficult to navigate. Accidentally Hit the cancel button that is in the middle of the screen that automatically cancel your vacation. No do you want to do this? I immediately called them, they said sorry deposit if 2200 lost. Like seriously? Customer service is terrible. Terrible company should be shut down, total rip-off.

    I booked a trip to the Island Resort in Fort Walton FL with Funjet. We paid $2444 to Funjet. I wanted to upgrade at the hotel and they said I booked through Expedia and paid $1592. I did not. They used my information to book through Expedia without my knowledge. So sad. Ripped off. I paid an adult fee and insurance to Funjet. Expedia insurance is $29 person. Where did my $852 go? I had to pay $283 in fees for resort when I got there. All the extra they charged was a lot more than anywhere else.

    Without a doubt, you shouldn't waste any money with this company, as they will do anything to take it. Their customer service is without a doubt the worst I've encountered in quite some time. After I attempted to cancel a reservation for a trip or simple modify it, I received nothing but the runaround. It was also stated that they offer discounts for active military personnel, but this was not the case. After being placed on hold for over an hour, no issues were resolved and simply they was happy to take my money. It took me 47 minutes past the 24-hour refund period, but I was placed on hold for over an hour, so the calculation is yours. Please look to another company before you decide to book with this company. I even sent the pictures to show that their own website had cheaper price for me to book online for the same trip but they wouldn’t honor that one either. I ask to speak to higher about that issue but that never went anywhere.

    One star is being generous. Funjet is a complete rip-off! I spoke with several agents who told me conflicting information about how to redeem travel credits. After several phone calls each lasting several hours, I was finally transferred to a manager, who told me that he would NOT honor what one of his agents said could be done. I highly advise that if you are working with a travel agent PLEASE inquire about what company they are using to book your travel because FunJet is a scam. I would NOT recommend FunJet to ANYONE.

FunJet continues to send misc invoices and now without authorization they committed credit card fraud by withdrawing funds from the same card the deposit was on. STAY AWAY.

Fun jet denied and refused to refund to customer. Fun jet staff said it wasn’t the amount they received from frontier. Frontier sent them email to confirm. Fun jet company ignored it.

    This was without a doubt the worst vacation I’ve ever been on. We stayed at SECRETS MERGUES in Cancun. We changed rooms twice because of the dirt and how filthy they were. The room flooded because the shower wouldn’t drain, the A/C was broke. I went to the front desk EVERYDAY to tell them to fix it. It was like talking to a wall. Nothing got fixed. I called FUNJET while I was there and when I got home. They did absolutely nothing. Hung up on me. I would NEVER recommend them or any of their affiliates.

    We purchased a trip to Mexico for Dec 1 to 11 2023. We needed to cancel for a health emergency.. We lost the money for the airfare and now getting a voucher for Funjet. We are Canadian so paid in USD, exchange rate is lower so receiving less than we paid. Tried to see if I could change a passenger name but not allowed as he was the card holder. Asked if we could change the name on the resort and they said no that he needed to be there for me to check in, could not go as a solo person. Not even sure if the vouchers will even show up. Should have stayed with a Canadian travel agent! Stay away from this company! Do not book!

    OMG, we were totally overpriced for our trip from Washington DC to Liberia, Costa Rica. The price was so high, we thought, because it was going to be "LUXURY".... it so was not. FYI, our so-called agents were with the EVERYTHING IRIE TRAVEL in Baltimore. There were 3 of us. The room was tiny - maybe 300 sf. There were only 2 small full sized beds (though they advertised queen size) so one of us slept on a cot all 4 nights. No privacy. The toilet door was see through - yes you could see right through to see someone sitting on the toilet. The all-inclusive resort – DREAMS - (even though very nice people working there) was totally low budget. Food was below average and drinks were abysmal. Not to mention all of the “perks” we were insured because we were “preferred” were totally misrepresented.

    We were so taken aback we did a little research. We contacted the DREAMS website to see what the room rates were and found out the HIGHEST price room was $800 and then we got on Orbitz to check out the flight prices. Even when entering dates to fly 2 days in advance the price was less than 500. So, do the math: 800 x 4 nights = 3200; and airfare 500x3 =1500 and we're charging the highest giving them the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, the highest price should have been about $4700. We included a 20% fee for them - $940 so total being about $5640. We paid DOUBLE that price. To add insult to injury when contacting FUNJET to get an itemization they gave us the runaround of course and offered NOTHING in the way of why we paid such a high price.

    Further investigating (called several numbers cause I wanted to feel better about being bilked) I found out that they Funjet/ALG vacations buy seats on airline and dates at the hotels and then assign whatever price they want. Our seats were like 2 seats up from the last row on the plane btw. They were so bad I wounded up paying extra money to upgrade.

    Called for accessibility info on a resort I booked in Feb 2023. When I booked there was NO mention of the resort having sand walkways throughout. We have a guest who uses a wheelchair/scooter. He will not be able to get around well per an employee I spoke to at the Secrets Tulum. The resort does not even offer a wheelchair for use while at the resort. When I spoke to Rene the Funjet employee he told me if we can not get around the resort it is beyond their control, they can not help me, and I should have looked at the pictures BEFORE we booked! Mind you, we booked 8 months before the resort opened or even had photos available.

    We have stayed at 3 other Secrets resorts in Mexico and NEVER did one not provide accessible options. I then waited 1hr 33mins before I could speak with a supervisor. Rocio **, supervisor, basically told me the same, too bad so sad. Of course I can switch to a different resort, more than $1k PER COUPLE but that’s all she can do. AND once I get to the resort they will not be able to assist me any further. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

    Buyer Beware - Refund Policy. I booked a 3 night hotel stay in San Juan and paid $49 for my deposit fee, plus my hotel cost. Total trip cost over $1650. I was paid in full and had to cancel my reservation, 4 months in advance. I was told their refund policy could take up to 30 days. We are now at day 26. And every time I call or email to inquire to see if it's even been processed. I am read a script, "It can take up to 30 days, longer depending on your bank". I am never given any specifics, or if it has even begun the process.

    This company likes to hold onto money that isn't theirs. If you don't like to gamble with your hard earned $$ - don't use this company. On a separate note, when you call their customer service line. You never reach anyone who speaks proper English, they are reading from scripts and they don't have the knowledge or experience to work in travel. I can say that, as I worked in the travel industry for 20 years. Even when I worked as a travel agent, I was always cautious using this company for clients. These people are in a call center, in a foreign country, being paid low wages. The company's overall customer service, they don't care about their customers... it's a money-grab company.

    Our Entire travel experience to Mexico and back was a nightmare. First Funjet booked half my family at the posted price, and then the other half of the family had to book at a much higher price. It took me almost a month to get the pricing corrected. Then we set up our baggage with Frontier, and they charged us for a name change that was not necessary. Their website and application would not let us pay for bags without it. $316.00 extra cost. They won’t refund it. Then on the way back the website and app kept giving an error when we were trying to check into our flight. Neither Funjet nor Frontier would help us. I wasted the entire last day of my vacation trying to get it fixed.

    Then we got to the airport and had to check in there. They charge us a fee to check in a the airport even though their website and app would not work. I went on vacation at the end of July and am still fighting with Funjet to get the extra fees refunded, and it is now October. I have sent several emails. There are no phone numbers to talk to anyone, so you have to do everything by email. I have every charge, error and conversation saved on my phone. I have sent all that information to post travel at Funjet. They have made no attempt to help me get my money back. I would not recommend traveling with Funjet. If anyone knows a person or a phone number to get things corrected, please let me know.

    Run fast! I booked 4 tickets + hotel to Cancun in Feb 2023. First, they gave me wrong confirmation code for the airline. Confirmation codes are 6 alphanumeric characters. They gave me 8! This caused us not being able to check in online and Frontier charged us $150 for that. The second problem which is way more serious is Funjet gave us wrong departure time from Cancun. We missed the flight and had to book another flight which cost us $500. I have been emailing them for 6 months and they don't even reply! In addition to all the hassle paying $650 for their mistake is not I wanted. Stay away from them at all costs.

    I am extremely disappointed with the services provided by both Expedia and Funjet during my recent vacation booking experience. As a loyal customer of Expedia for many years, I expected a seamless and reliable vacation package, but what I got was an absolute nightmare. Firstly, without my knowledge or consent, my airplane tickets were booked through Funjet, a company I had never even heard of before. This lack of transparency and choice was frustrating and made me question Expedia's commitment to customer satisfaction.

    The trouble began when Funjet informed me, a few weeks after booking the trip, that they had made changes to our flight schedule. They unilaterally moved us to a different flight that was leaving a staggering 5 hours earlier than our originally planned departure. Such a significant change in the itinerary was highly inconvenient and disrupted our entire travel plan.

    Despite the inconvenience, my travel companions and I decided to adapt and make the best of the situation without lodging a formal complaint. However, the real nightmare unfolded on our journey back home. Once again, Funjet took the liberty of altering our reservation without sending any notification whatsoever. As a result, we missed the flight, and the plane left without us.

    When I contacted the airline to understand what had happened, they made it clear that Funjet was responsible for changing our reservation at some point. The airline asserted that they had not moved the flight or altered our tickets in any way. This revealed the lack of accountability on the part of Funjet, leaving us stranded and in a state of utter frustration.

    To make matters worse, attempting to reach Funjet's customer service was an exercise in futility. It was nearly impossible to get a hold of anyone, and when I finally managed to speak with a representative, they were unhelpful and seemed disinterested in resolving the issue. Instead of offering a solution or an apology, they simply brushed me off, asking me to contact a different department each time I inquired about a resolution.

    The incompetence and lack of responsibility displayed by Funjet and Expedia have left a lasting negative impression on my travel experience. Not only did I have to spend an extra night in a hotel, but I also had to purchase new tickets to return home, incurring unnecessary expenses and stress.

    I strongly advise against booking with either Funjet or Expedia, as they have demonstrated a complete disregard for their customers' well-being and satisfaction. I had trusted Expedia's reputation for reliable travel services, but this experience has shattered that trust entirely. I urge fellow travelers to be cautious and consider alternative travel agencies that prioritize customer service and reliability.

    AVOID them at all costs - if you have any issues they will not help you. They lie and say they will give you credit and give you the run around. My husband bought a trip through Expedia/Travelocity - we had to cancel and requested a refund - they told us that we could get flight credit - I was placed on hold and then they said they actually couldn't even though they usually do. Conflicting policy - I asked again and asked about cancelling - they said no refund if I cancelled. I called my card to stop the charge - then FunJet said I could have had a refund if I cancelled.

    I booked hotel and flight with Funjet, I was informed by the representative the hotel can be cancelled 7 days before arrival date without penalties. Also stated on their website, however I called to canceled one of the travel my party room due to a family emergency, and requested to use that money to upgrade the other reserved room, (not asking for a refund or credit just to apply the funds from the cancel room to upgrade reserved room to all inclusive) I was informed that I would have to pay a penalty of $200.00. Additionally room booked was not per person, yet I was charged a penalty per person.

    The representative stated she would rerun my call to apply the upgrade, but instead sent an email with travel credits minus the $200 penalty for a package I tried to modify 2 weeks before arrival. I contacted the hotel and was told they refunded Funjet the full amount for the room. This company rules are vague! Please use other company. Stay away from Funjet, I’ve used other agency before, not sure why I tried them, should have checked the reviews prior to booking.

    DO NOT USE FUNJET!!!! They should not be allowed to do business, as they are an unfair and shady company that is a total scam!! I had to use them to book travel arrangements for my friend's wedding near Cancun, Mexico. I got Covid and I was unable to attend the wedding. It has been a nightmare to try to get my money back. I paid an extra $150 for travel insurance, however they are telling me that it is only to receive a "credit." Why would I pay for travel insurance just to receive a credit, that makes zero sense. Best part - the "credit" expires in 1 year! WTF.

    I managed to transfer my credit to the bride to help pay for her reservation because I am not going to be able to use my credit within the next year. I was only allowed to transfer the credit due to a one time exception because I gave them a bad review on social media. Come to find out, my credit was put towards a "new reservation" for the bride. She go on an additional trip that they did not apply the credit towards!!! I have been lied to over and over again from this company.

    Booked an all-inclusive vacation with Funjet to Cabo Mexico out of STL with travel insurance thru TripMate. The package included a direct chartered flight on Viva Aerobus. When we finally landed (3 hrs late) they informed us none of our luggage had arrived. They assisted with filling out claim forms and took the name of our resort and a phone number. The next day, the bags showed up for the 3 people I was traveling with. My bag never did show up and I couldn't even connect with anyone at the airline.

    It has now been almost 4 months and I have been dealing with FunJet, TripMate and Viva Aerobus (who has an F rating with the BBB). I finally received a check for $143 from TripMate for reimbursement for incidentals for the "delayed" bag. I have not received a dime for my missing bag. They have all washed their hands of me and have closed the tickets and claims. This is totally unacceptable and explains why the reviews and ratings for these companies are so low.

    I now have to get an attorney involved. The insurance indicated it would pay up to $1000 for the lost bag - which still doesn't cover the replacement costs. They have closed my claim. Turns out that having travel insurance really does you no good. It is an added cost with no benefit to be had. WARNING. **** WARNING. DO NOT USE FUNJET OR TRIPMATE AND NEVER FLY ON VIVA AEROBUS!!!
