I spoke with a representative named "Boyce" or "Royce." I didn't understand him very well because his English was poor. All I wanted to do was add 2 checked bags for a flight I booked for my mother. The cheapoair website was giving me a different price than what my mother had already paid for her flight and what would be the new price with the added two checked bag. All I was asking him was why he couldn't see on his screen what I saw on my screen because they were much different prices. The man literally yelled back at me and told me he had refunded the bags, there was a "soft charge" on my mother's card, and that I should call Spirit to check the bags. I asked him his name and told him I was going to leave a complaint. He didn't seem to care. I tried to call the numbers listed on google, but they weren't valid numbers so I am leaving my complaint here. I have always been fine with cheapoair and my previous bookings, but if this is the type of people they are going to employ I am going to take my business elsewhere!! Just terrible!

I booked a flight to Paris and got the names for the tickets incorrect as I didn't know to add a middle name. I tried to correct this less that 4 hours after booking and was told that I either had to re-book for over $1000 more or cancel for $225. After a 50+ minute conversation with a rude and unhelpful customer service agent I cancelled and was out $225. This company is a total rip off. other travel websites will let you cancel without penalty if it's within 24 hours. NEVER book with CheapoAir. They are horrible!!!!!

I booked a flight from Birmingham AL to Portland ME. I have been sent an average of two e-mails per day since booking the one way flight. I get ads for hotels, car rentals, and attractions, none of which I need. That is a huge bother. But the worst problem was attempting to check in the day before the flight. The app wouldn't allow me to check in. I called the so-called customer service number only to be told that since it was a discounted "economy" reservation I would have to check in at the airport. Rowan, the agent, said no online check in would be allowed, even though I'd received an e-mail instructing me to check in! Rowan told me a needed to be at the airport between 2 and 3 hours before this flight (domestic flight). He insisted that the gates would be closed at least one hour (maybe more) before departure time. I'd already made arrangements (non-refundable) for transportation to the airport that would have me arrive one hour before flight time. I finally gave up on him - since what he advised made no sense at all - and called American Airlines directly. They told me exactly what to do and I was checked in within the click of the mouse! And I need to be at the airport the usual one hour in advance of the flight. We'll see which agent knew what he was talking about, but I am betting on the American Airlines guy. And I was able to print my boarding passes from home. I will never deal with CheapOAir again and I will advise my friends and colleagues (and I have many on them) to avoid them at any cost!

Getting run around with being told I did not pay for Economy Plus seating when in fact I did $1444 from Baltimore to Maui. I have gone thru two separate agents in one day and I have been given the story of that only covered from LAX to Maui and Maui to Chicago. COMPLETE BULLSHIT. I WOULD NEVER PAY THAT MUCH MONEY FOR ONLY CERTAIN LEGS OF FLIGHT AND NOT THE WHOLE THING! WORST PART OF ALL OF THIS IS I HAVE BEEN ON HOLD FOREVER!

Hello we are disgusted with how our flight changed to two days later and we were not notified by neither cheapoair or Jetblue until we called to confirm our flight on June 28, 2019 the day our original departure date was set ( over 3 months ago). We spoke to both Jetblue Ingrid #48229 and Cheapoair Clifford id 43669 and they went back and forward about how jetblue notified cheapoair of the change and cheapoair had not notified the customers ( tamikio bohler and anthony williams) . The original tickets for two people) cost 915.00 and jetblue agreed to only refund 381.00 total( for the departure part of the trip) . Since we booked a resort costing over 200 a night in St Martin for June 28 and June 29 we could not accept Jetblues new offer ( that we learned about on June 28 at 230am to fly us there June 30th. Jetblue changed our reservation and only notified cheapoair. Cheapoair notofied us on June 28, 2019 via email that we wrre confirmed to depart on June 28, 2019. However when we called the airline jetblue we were told there were no flights on June 28 or June 29. We therefore requested cheapoair to locate a flight and they asked us to pay an additional 700 per ticket totalling over 1400 dollars. I then hung up and booked another airline ( delta) for 631.70 a piece totalling 1,262.00 due to the error caused by Jetblue reschedule and cheap o air error with never notifying us. We would like jetblue and cheapoair to pay for this error by refunding us all additional funds that we had to pay when both pf them messed up our vacation plans that could not be delayed by two days. We were only off of work 4 days. Jetblue reservation ODautm tamikio bohler and anthony williams. Note we accepted only to keep our return flight under the reservation ( revised) tamikio bohler odautm and anthony williams aqvvgr. 7703610311

I was in the middle of booking a flight for six people and I had trouble figuring out the details about the luggage online and decided to call for help. When I called for help I was connected with a travel agent. Instead of helping me with the issue with the luggage, he was pushing a different sale for himself. After I hung up the phone, with my issue not resolved, I proceeded to check out because I didn't want to lose my deal. I figured I would just pay for the bags at the airport. As I went to checkout, I noticed the transaction was not going through and my deal was lost. I was very upset about it and was unfairly treated. As a result of this, I ended another flight that ended up costing me $500 more, which was not in my budget. This was a very poor first experience with spirit.

I arrived at the airport 2 hours and 15 min early. I downloaded my qr code, the line to get through security was insanely long and the line to the boarding pass was insanely long and was not moving. I spoke to someone at security and asked if this would be resolved or I would miss my fault. He said that my qr code is enough and I can just go through security and go to the gate to ensure I wont miss the flight. I did, I barely made it security and the gate on time without getting the boarding pass. During security, they checked my downloaded qr code 3 times and checked my passport. They also did this when checking my passport after security. When I went to the terminal, they told me that I had to go back and get the boarding pass, which I would have, but if I did I would have missed my flight. I was the last in line to board even with fast tracking (keep in mind I arrived 2 hours and 15 min early).
I then was told to leave the terminal and get a boarding pass, one of the attendees even mocked me by saying, its so obvious get your boarding pass, and when I tried to explain they told me I had to leave, the interrupted me 3 times. I just said ok, Ill go get my boarding pass, but was told I would not make it in time.
I was escorted out of the terminal, and just left in the airport with nothing and now facing 2000 euro tickets to get back to the states.
I asked cheap o air to help me through their chat, they said, we cant help, you have a no show, so non refundable.
I was told by 3 airport attendees to go, or I would not make the flight. I was caught in a difficult spot because I knew it was risky but I also thought, with the ticket its not like a seat wont be available.
If there is an alternative to what I should have done to avoid this, I want to hear this argument otherwise, I dont feel I was totally responsible here.
Im just shocked that cheap o air didnt care at all when I asked for help, just said, " no this is our policy" but context did not matter to them. I wont use cheap o air again.

If I could give this company less than a 1 star I SO would!! Their Customer Service SUCKS!! I have called for over 2 weeks to have spoken to 1 person but have been on HOLD for HOURS to only be disconnected time & time again!! My sister was scheduled to take a flight with my daughters this summer to visit family back east but sadly she got sick & has been informed due to her diagnosis that she can in NO way travel. I was told by the 1 person I spoke to at this "Customer Service Center" for this joke of a company that there was an Exception for Emergency Medical Conditions to NOW be told that this supervisor I spoke to, LANDON, was mistaken & that there is no Exception.

This "COMPANY" likes to play with people, they like to take hard worked for MONEY for NOTHING even though they cannot provide services, they tell you that there is an Exception to then come back & say OOPS so sorry you could die from this medical condition we hope you have a speedy recovery but guess what we are going to KEEP you $1300 because now there really is no EXCEPTION we told you about!!

I WILL NEVER UTILIZE THIS COMPANY EVER AND YOU CAN BE SURE THAT I WILL TELL EVERYONE THAT I COME IN CONTACT WITH TO NEVER USE CHEAPOAIR THIS COMPANY SUCKS & THEY COULD GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER!!! I WILL POST THIS EVERYWHERE i CAN JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE KNOWS UNLESS YOU HAVE $1300 TO JUST THROW AWAY STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! THEY SUCK!!!!!

On October 16, 2018 my husband and I booked a flight with your company. Our booking number was 54392151. At the time we paid$ 3219.23 which also included a hotel booking for $173.73 . Due to an unexpected heath issue we canceled the flight on March 2,2019 and after speaking with your company you agreed to refund the money minus $500 ,The hotel fee for $173.73 was refunded on March 8, 2019 and the $500 cancellation fee was taken out of our account on March 4th,2019. Unfortunately , you charged us $500 without ever refunding our fee for our flight. After spending 3 hours on the phone with you 3 weeks ago you admitted that your agent had made a mistake and promised to refund our money minus $500. Yesterday we saw that you indeed refunded our flight fee but once again you charged us $500 for our cancellation fee.Since you had already charged us $500 on March 4, 2019 we are unable to understand why you charged us an additional $500. Yesterday we only received $2365.60 and should have received the full amount . I would appreciate an immediate refund of our $500. Three weeks ago we spoke to Will, your manager, (FPO150) and after apologizing profusely for your error he promised he would take care of this matter quickly and refund all the money that is due to us.Expecting to hear from you soon.

Hi, Hello,
I booked the flight for my all family members from toronto to vancouver (May 14 to May 19) on Feb. 24 for Sunwing airline; but when i wanted to pre-pay for my check-in baggage on Sunwing website yesterday, i found the record for depart date is one day different: depart at may 15. the assistant in cheapOair didn't know about it until i called them. after talked to several assistants about this, the line transferred to the manager, he said he can't do anything only cancel the flight. but have already booked all hotel, every thing on track for the travel.
is there anyway i can keep the schedule? he just said the Sunwing changed the date, but why you didn't remind me on time?
Regards,
Zhen

I booked a flight with Cheapoair, after booked it I found out that dates were incorrect, called them right away, they charged me for changing the flight so I explained to them that the booking happened few minutes earlier, it didnt matter and they didnt care ( by the way the customer service team is so rude, not even funny ). I was upset and I requested a cancellation. They charged me for canceling $75 dollars and promised to refund the money within 2 weeks. Today is 20 days later and they havent refund the money. I spent hours waiting to speak with someone alive but after one hour at the time nobody gets to the phone. They only answer fast when they are collecting your money but for the refund service you can die waiting for them to pick up the phone. I dont know if its legal to charge and keep your money when the changes happen within 24 hours.

We booked round trip airfare from Denver to Orlando by phone with CheapoAir leaving Denver 4/11 and returning 4/15. We received an automated call saying there was a problem with out flight and instructed us to call customer service. We have been on hold for over 3 hours and have been transferred 6 times and keep being told by the person that answers that they are booking agents, not customer service agents and they have to transfer me to a different department. VERY frustrating!!!!

I have tried to speak to your customer service department and have waited on line for over 30 no answer you have a big problem can you call me ? My tel No is 01324710005.

I purchased an airline tickets on 10/14/2018 with Travel Insurance booking #53914617. I cancelled the 10/14/2018 flight and went to an earlier flight since my mother’s health deteriorated and subsequently passed away. I emailed the requested docs health certificate and death certificate. This was an emergency. To your CEO or CFO or anyone at Cheapoair. If you had a call that your mother was dying, are you not going to change the flight?
I was told that the airline will be refunding me. This is a ripped off. We are already in March 2019. I am still waiting for my full refund. I paid Cheapoair and I should not be waiting for my refund from Philippine Airline. Looking forward to be hearing from you soon.

I booked a flight from Miami to Rome with CheapOair. I found a great deal so I jumped on it quickly. Two months later, I received 2 notifications that my flight times changed. I had to accept the changes as soon as possible to ensure I had a seat on the flight. Since my flight times kept changing, I decided to contact the company a few months later to verify if there were additional changes. The day I called was the day I was informed that the flight time was changed--although, it was only a 5 min difference. I am not sure that if I did not call them that they would have let me know this. It is quite frustrating to do business with a company who does not respect communication and has no sense of what it means to provide EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. This will be my last time booking with them as there is too much uncertainty. Because of this, I am hesitant to book my other flight that will get me to the place of departure. This is unacceptable and you all need to do better. I will NOT recommend to my family and friends.

I was promised a refund by a supervisor named Avery. He stated on a recorded call: Great news! You will be getting a full refund on this without any fee's applied" He then changed his mind. I thought Cheapoair had honesty and integrity. I was wrong to trust.

Hi, my name is Jeannine Saint-Paul. l bought a ticket from Haiti to St Maarten, Maarten to Autiqua and Autiqua to Dominica. I was not able to retrieve a boadingpass. The agent told me they do not do that route. When I was went to the next agent my ticket information was not valid. He was not able to find any information on my ticket. or your airline. I have been trying to get in contact with someone since Saturday. It has been a hassle to get through to anyone. I would like for someone to let me know what is going on. It seems as though they knew there was no flight goint to Autiqua. It is a struggle to get through to anyone. And their excuse is that they get to the air lines. I’m so fed up as it was 3k+ that was taken from me. They repeatedly tell me that they have “attempted” to call me yet I’ve been on the phone with them all day!

Once again cheapoair attempted to pull a bait & switch and this needs to be elevated to the attorney generals office. I ordered online and got the following message on three occasions : "Please wait...Your reservation is in progress". This went on for 30 minutes. I called customer service and they wanted to charge me more. They tried this before in the past and not buying it. Big scam probably out of India.

20

My husband found your representative very difficult to understand and he agreed to change our flight without realizing it.
When I called customer service, there was nothing they could do about the additional charge.
Everything at CheapOair is set in concrete...no allowances for being human.

First time: shame on you!
Second time: shame on me!
We will not be using your site for anything again.
It's costing us over $100 for the error! Just crumbs to some people but not to us!

I booked a flight ,put the dates I needed ,choose a flight ,booked it. When I went to review it I saw the dates had been changed not what I booked. called them immediately an told them . They charges me a $50.00 cancellation fee. They would not waive the fee and it was there mistake I put the dates I needed in not the ones they gave me. Its very sneaky an poor business ,If they do not refund the fee to me I will never use them again an will let everyone I know what kind of scamming is going on. I could see it if I waited three days ,but minutes after no not good customer service.

I have booked a return ticket to India on June 9th 2016 on Cheapoair. My traveling date is Nov 11th 2016 when I checked the site , it said no service charges if I cancel before 4 hrs of the journey. Due to personal reasons, I wanted to cancel the ticket. I used the live chat to cancel it. The executive asked for my name and billing phone number, which I provided. Then he said there will be a mail from cheapoair which has OTP. I quickly searched OTP in the mail which is send by him and shared the OTP with him.

He summarized at the last after canceling the ticket that 200USD for cancellation and 300 USD company charges and the remaining amount will be credited to me in 30-60 business days. When I asked him why didn't you mention of the cancellation charges in the beginning of the chat. He answered that ,he have mentioned it in the top of the chat. But there were only stuff like ' Company policies applies'. This is cheating.

Cheapoair has the worst customer service. I spent a week trying to get them to even verify I had a credit of over $1400. When I tried to use it there was a change fee of $400. I re-booked the ticket and paid the fee for the two flights, which one the aniline website were $1322. They called and left me a voice mail three hours later that they could not confirm and they needed $600 more. This company is a total rip off. Use Expedia, they have great customer service and do not jerk people around. There needs to be a class action lawsuit filed against Cheapoair.

I agree with Brian from Allen Park. I read a lot of reviews and have taken many chances when the review's haven't been so good. But let me tell you, never had a problem with CheapOair, or their affiliate Onetravel. The price was better than any other site, and everything was in order. Seems like people don't travel much or read the terms and conditions are the ones who seem to complain a lot. But if you know what your doing, and make no changes or be prepared to pay for your change, it would go smooth for you as well.

Was reading some reviews online and seems like this is people's fault for not having your stuff in order. They created this mess but trying to blame everyone else. That's why people like you make it so hard to believe negative reviews that people post about any company. Cheapoair is a good place!

I would like to inform you that I and my mom booked a ticket through Cheap-o-air (Booking no#34550357) of Emirates Airlines on June 1st, 2016. We were to travel from New Orleans to New Delhi via New York and Dubai. When I got to New Orleans Airport, the JetBlue (I had connecting flight) found out that my passport was expired.

However, after consulting with supervisor George (GIL) Jones, the authority told me that I can travel to India since I had Indian passport and can renew it in India. Unfortunately, when we arrived at New York airport, the Emirates stopped me, saying that it’s an international law not to travel with an expired passport. Then we had to spend whole day and night at the airport and had to buy new tickets to get back.

NOTE: - I have been contacting Cheap-o-air for refund and cancelling, since June 1st. Cheap-o-air is saying that the mistake was made by JetBlue and the refund would be provided by Emirates. They are saying that they have emailed to Emirates but haven’t got any response. Cheap-o-air is saying that the journey was started. Therefore, we are getting hard times in getting refund. They are saying that the mistake was made by JetBlue.

When I contacted JetBlue, they are saying that Emirates have to refund because the tickets were bought from Emirates. JetBlue has accepted their mistakes in written email sent to me. NOTE :- Since Emirates have ties with Cheap-o-air and JetBlue, they can easily solve the matter by contacting them. I am also attaching all the evidences.

I booked a round-trip on Cheapoair for me and my girlfriend (MSP to PHL) weeks ago for a September visit to a relative who unexpectedly passed away last week. I understand I cannot cancel the tickets but I was told that it would cost $200/each to change the flight. I do want to book a different flight for myself only but I have been unable to get through to customer service after several long waits and Twitter just directed me back there. Can you help me?

I booked a round trip ticket from Toronto to Guangzhou on April 21, 2015 for my friend who is in China. However, i make a mistake by reversing my friend's first name and middle name. The following day, my friend found my error and informed me to correct name of traveller at once. I phoned the Cheapoair and the customer services promise to correct the name by contacting with airline company and told me that i will receive a email to confirm this. Three days passed, i receive nothing, so i phoned again, and the guy said that we are working it and just wait the email. On May 4th, i receive nothing and phoned again. This time the customer service said that the Hai Nan airline had denied the request and the only option is to invalid the ticket and buy another ticket. I was frustrated by this irresponsible manner to deal with my purchase. What is more, according to the rules of the cheapoair, if the name of credit card did not match the name of traveller, the ticket can not be confirmed. I would like to take a further legal action to this company.

Last weekend I had a wonderful weekend trip to Los Vegas in less budget. Cheapoair is amazing for the best deals in flight tickets, Hotels and Cabs. I was able to cover all my planned tasks with the best customer support. Special promo offers saved my money. This is the website to make your trips fabulous.
