reviews and complaints

On January 24th 2019, We booked our flight from Canada to Manila Philippines (round trip) But because of Covid-19, Airlines Cancelled
our flights and issued a future travel credit valid for 1 year (1/24/2020)
from the date ticket was issued. But because of Covid-19 Travel
is still restricted I called Cheapoair costumer service on December
16, 2020 to extend my travel credit validity then the next day I received
an email that my travel credit has been extended for another year and
is valid till January 24th, 2022. But on November 25, 2022 after a week
of discussion with my wife we decided to take a risk even though Covid-19
is still very much around because we don't want to loose our travel credit
I called Cheapoair to rebooked our flight and use our Travel credit which
will expired on January 24th, 2022 but they told me that my travel credit
has expired and cant longer used it. I was so mad and confused because the record i have (email they sent me) I can use my travel credit to rebooked my flight on or before January 24th, 2022. Where did my
money goes?

We booked a flight from Canada to India (roundtrip) and had to cancel due ot covid rule change of rules stating getting a covid test needed from last boarding place. When requesting to cancel inspite of taking an insurance, they denied. Submitted whole load of documents still denied. Credited with a condition of using the same flight saying credit valid till 2023 but sent an email saying 2022. If we had not checked they would not have corrected had to call another 2-3 times to rectify it.
Then while trying to rebook the flight had to force travel plans to meet the same flight conditions to use the credit after waiting on line for 30 mins the agent told we will need to book a transit visa which upon checking was false info.

On nov 12 we booked a round trip american airlines trip for us from la guardia airport to miamileaving n. Y 2pm. Returning from miami to n. Y nov21 7pm. Both trips were a disaster. U changed our return trip on nov.21 to frontier airlines. On both trips we said our seats must be together due to mr. Arken being 85yrs of age and a disabled army veteran. I shara pena is mr arken's nurse and I must administer medications to him on the trip. U seperated us putting me in the front of plane and mr arken in middle of plane. He got up from his seat and fell and hit his head hard. On return trip u changed our flight to the disastorous frontier air lines. They sat on the runnway for 2hrs and do not even have a blanket for mr arken who was very cold if we do not hear from u immiediately we are taking this story to the daily news & n.Y. Post. N.Y. Mr arken's son who is a negligence attorney will then bring a lawsuit against cheap o air. My phone # is [protected]. Mr arken's info is donald arken 125 10 queens b;lvd, apt. 1804 kew gardens, ny [protected]

Hi,

I talked to Alexander from CheapoAir. He told me that the maximum charges (including fees and difference) would be $15 to $250. Now, I want to reschedule return flight from Ahmedabad to Toronto (connecting - New Delhi) from 31st December, 2021 to 11th February, 2021. And now, they told me $890 for difference. When I asked them to check call history they always say their supervisor will callback in an hour. But I didn't receive callback. I am going contact OOP and to file legal complaint against ChepO AIr for fraudulent (Falseful) information. Booking # [protected] Thank you

I booked a flight for me and my wife to visit my son, due to 90 year old mother getting an illness, we had to cancel our trip. Cheapoair was not understanding, gave us a run around by telling us we had to contact the airline directly, who then told us we had to contact Cheapoair. Customer support does not help or assist at all. The are only good at providing excuses on why they can't help you.. I will never use this company again, especially after eating the total cost of my trip. Worst company ever…

I purchased a plane ticket for my son on 11/5/21 and he was unable to make his flight, due to the fact that he was hospitalized and cheapoair refused to refund my money back, or offer credit toward another flight, so I lost $300 of my hard earned money. I'm never booking with these crooks, that's robbery, when you take someone's hard earned money and refuse to give it back, or offer credit towards another flight. Their has to be a law against that.

when i recieved my credit card statement a flight that was 571.00 ended uo costing 811.00 total!

I booked two round flights with cheapoair for 3 passengers, first itinerary [protected] with west jet round trip birmingham Al then to Montreal Canada, and second itinerary [protected] round trip with Air Alegria from Montreal Canada to Algeria. Then Covid happened and both flights were canceled and so far we can't book any flights to Canada or Algeria because airports are closed . We are asking kindly to help us get the refund of $2430.53 We really worked hard to save this money so we can go and see our families and now we can't book any flights and we can't get our money back. We called the cheapoair and contacted you on the phone and social media but with no luck. Will you please whelp us get the refund of $2430.53?

Booking number: [protected]

Initial charges as per email dated 28/10/21 amounted to USD2, 479.07.

However, charges were breaked up into 7 separate small charges dated 27/10/21 - 2 charges, 28/10/21 - 3 charges, 29/10/21 - 1 charge and 01/11/21 - 1 charge amounted to USD2, 798.82.

There are unauthorised transaction of insurance of USD154.85 and insurance upgrade of USD29.97 and agency fee of USD105.

Additionally, it is so difficult to seek update on earlier emails sent and to get through its customer services.

My worst experience and I would strongly not recommend using cheapoair.

Dear Team,

I have requested for refund of my mentioned booking number [protected]). Unfortunately, the credit card and bank account I used to purchase the ticket are no more valid/ operational. Trying to reach out to billing/customer support for the last few months and they keep on lingering on the issue and not resolving it by simply refunding the amount to any of my currently active accounts. I wish I had never used this platform.

I booked my flights to Puerto Vallarta for 9/29/21 with a return of 10/5/21. Booking number is [protected] When I arrived at PVR Airport for my return flight I was informed that myself and the other party I booked for were not allowed to board the plane as we would miss our flight to Denver. I had verified our itinerary multiple times including that morning and checked all my emails to make sure there had been no changes. When I pulled up my real time itinerary it had not changed and I was still scheduled to Fly into Houston airport and then have a lay over. Then fly to Milwaukee. I never received any change updates nor had my itinerary changed. United Airlines put us on a flight to Houston and informed us that we would not be able to fly to Milwaukee until the next day and would be stranded in Houston. We are both Paramedics who can not miss work so we took the flight to Houston. Come to find out the second flight from Houston to MKE didn't even exist even though my itinerary confirmed it. I called your customer support and was told that because United had altered my ticket that "it was my problem now". Customer service was unwilling to help in anyway. Luckily United Airlines picked up the slack for your company and helped me and my friend reach Chicago. A coworker had to leave work to come and get us so that we would be able to come in for our shifts early that morning. I was less than pleased with this experience especially since I have never had an issue in the past. I understand things change, but I have NO notifications or emails to reflect such.

10/16/2021 I had booked a Flight using a refund or credit I Had. I was billed a 123.00. I received a phone call and was told I was given the wrong dates. I immediately contacted Cheapoair to change dates. I was billed another 145.00 within 2 hrs of booking. Then I was online for an indefinite amount of time. When I suggested flight option I was immediately discarded. My booking number is [protected]

We understand your concern regarding rebooking.

Please be informed that, initially you made your booking with us. However, later it got exchanged by the airlines and they took the control over your booking. Even, if we assist you with changes, we will not be able to reissue the ticket. Due to which we have suggested you to contact the airlines to rebook your flights directly with them.

Hi Jazmine

Thanks for your reply. Hope you doing well.

I did first contact Air France as you say the flight was changed to another date, that flight was then cancelled.
Air France says that as I booked the initial ticket with you, I need to get the refund/ Voucher from you.
I did go onto your website and looked at my booking and it is still open and says I have a refund of $ 1197.36 this is valid until 31/12/2021. Please can this be sorted out or can you sort it out with the airline if need be please as I paid for the ticket and then again to change it.

Please I need this resolved. All I need is a ticket to Copenhagen as per my mail to you previously.

Thanks

Booked flight through CheapoAir with Porter Airlines from Fredericton, NB to Toronto and return.had to cancel flight due to covid 19. Refund for flight was approved by Porter in amount of $554.28 which was confirmed by CheapoAir. To date we have received $368.58 to personal Visa. Numerous phone calls to customer service and have yet to receive balance paid by Visa Gift Card in amount of $200. CheapoAir approved balance Of $185.70 but has yet to refund. Would not recommend CheapoAir, They are not hassle free, reputable or show signs of integrity. HStill waiting for last agent, Camille, 1 of at least 10 CheapoAir representatives to resolve and get back to me in a couple days. .it has been 3 weeks now. All was approved Aug. 26, 2021.

Hello I booked a ticket in February due to COVID symptoms we cancel the ticket.I called many time about my refund but no one tell me the right answer.
Every time when ever I called they always mention they couldn't contact with airline.how's that possible that you have big company and you guys can't contact the airline company.that's a really Ridiculous service I ever seen.I called many time to talk with management team but until now I didn't receive any call.

This is regarding flight tickets booked under booking# [protected] for 21st Mar 2021. we canceled the tickets on March 2nd due to the travel restrictions imposed by Canadian government and were promised a refund within a 3 months time frame. It has been more than 6 months now and we are yet to receive our money back. This is is extremely disappointing as we have been paying interest for that money for so many months now. Request you to please look into this matter and resolve asap.

Due to travel restrictions by the Philippines government I chose to delay my travel and expressed my willingness to keep my credit.
I'm now trying to call Cheapoair and being thrown from one place to the other until I connected with someone who told me my ticket is gone
I need to find out my ticket status and wish to use it once Philippines government opens the country up for tourism again
My name: Solaiman Taher

My email : [protected]@yahoo.com

I wasn't given a reservation number or correct confirmation number for boarding my return flight. The agents hung up 3 times on me when asked about how could I receive info to get home from Atlanta, Georgia airport to Jackson, Ms airport. I even allowed the agents (Cheapoair) to speak with Delta airlines staff agents. Delta barely was able to help out after 4hours later. Delta told Cheapoair told my return flight time was delayed a few minutes but not canceled. Cheapoair didn't call back as promised. I missed my 2:25 flight home and Delta had to change my flight somehow to 6:11pm instead of 2:25pm the time my flight should of been.
Cheapoair agent told me n Delta staff that he saw my flight was changed to 6:45am
8-31 instead of 2:25pm to return home. I reminded him several times I was in Cancun at 6:45am and how was that even possible. I am so pissed I will never do service with this agency again. My booking info number was: 718

I bought the ticket on 6/6/2021. At the time of my purchase an agent at Chepoair recommended that I should get insurance from Trip Mate in case something happens that I would get refunded. This was in addition to me maying extra for Flex Ticket to have flexibility. I canceled my ticket 7/11/2021, well in advance of my trip date 8/3/2021. The reason my trip got cancelled was because the country that I was going to visit hard had COVID restriction for non-essential visitors. First I contacted Chipoair to cancel the trip, and I was advised to call the insurance company for a refund and I did all on the same day, 7/11. For 31 days, I have not heard anything other than my case was being reviewed and I can check on their website. Finally, the insurance replied that COVID restrictions are not one of the things that they cover.
How ironic!? We are in the midst of COVID 19 pandemic, the insurance I bought does not cover me from the unforeseeable pandemic restrictions. What I'm I supposed to do? Take the chance and fly to a country where I'm not welcomed or warned because of a health risk?
I called Chepoair again to relay what I was told but the agent referred me to the airline carrier, Icelander. I called Icelander and they told me, no you bought the ticket from Chepoair so go back and rectify with them.
I'm tired bounced around like a hot potato from one company to the other. But I paid 1, 150 for this ticket so I will talk to however many people it will take to either get my money back or a credit. However, it's very disappointing and frustrating position to be in.
