My husband and I booked tickets to go home at Christmas. After booking the travel we received a phone call stating that the fare was no longer available and that we needed to pay almost $200 more for a different itinerary. Incensed I informed them we would find our fare elsewhere and that the price hike was unacceptable. The representative stated that they saw their error and would honor the initial price. I was given my ticket number and sent the same itinerary I had initially agreed to. When my husband and I showed up to the airport we were informed that our itinerary was incorrect...we had no reservation on the flight. Frantic calls to CheapOAir's customer support went nowhere and we ended up buying another set of tickets or else risk spending Christmas in an airport. Once we returned home and I had a chance to look at my credit card statement I noticed the amount charged was more than our itinerary showed and for a different airline completely. Apparently the itinerary we were sent was incorrect. Follow up phone calls resulted in nothing but more frustration. The error was theirs, yet they were unwilling to refund our tickets or issue a credit. As far as they were concerned they had our money and it was our problem.

Do business with this company at your own risk for they will never rectify any mistake on their part.
