CheapOair - Unsatisfied customer

I brought the ticket as a Christmas gift for my brother as a surprise gift who has a birthday on the date of his flight he decided just that he wanted to stay longer than a weekend so I just wanted to extend his flight. The price to change the is unreasonable $157.

Just to extend the departure date Ive already paid $297 for the trip itself Ive tried talking with a agent about the possibility of just comparison of price of a one way compared to a one-way ticket the cost was only $ 99 for a later date. I feel this is a way of cheating customers by not disclosing the fees for cancellation and not able to change dates at a fair price.

I had a similar experience with CheapOair. I am a victim to and I have been doing my research I see they have scammed many people.

I plan posting a formal a complaint with the BBB again CheapOAir. They claim to be a business out of New York, but clearly their staff is from India or possible the UK.

CheapOair - Cancelled flight,4 months waiting for alternate option
Updated by user Nov 01, 2023

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. They sent me my desired ticket on e-mail finally after 3 months of agony,with extra charge for transfer to business class because there are no more seats in economy due to not resolving this on time.So finally situation is resolved,but with lot of spent time,energy and nerves.

Original review Oct 24, 2023
I bought tickets from Santiago de Chile to Easter Islands in May.Flight was supposed to be on 10.-13.1.2024.In June flight on
13.1.was cancelled and I was directed to customer support department.All the others from my group received alternate flight option on 14.1.,except me.Customer service confirmed can get the same alternate option, just have to wait until airline LATAM confirms.it has been 4 months now, and they still haven't resolved it. Lately, there are no more free seats on flight 14.1 .anymore.

There is one flight remaining on 12.1.which doesn't suit me,but better than nothing as I have to go back somehow,even without the rest of the group, but I don't know what to do because I can't even cancel my ticket(and buy a new one of course not from Cheapoair but directly from airline, which is now,of course, way more expensive) because customer support doesn't do anything!I spent I don't know how many hours on a chat with them, waiting in a line and every time they promised to solve the issue, that will get alternate option for flight in 24-48 h on my e-mail, that they will call me but they never called, they just send e-mails that they called and couldn't reach me but it's a lie because I never had a missed call from them. Terrible!I don't know what's going to be with my trip,l'll have to stay in Santiago alone while my friends go to Easter Islands?!??!?
update:i received a notification they refused to read this review and/or react upon it.So to sum up,3 months on the phone and chat with their customer service,lately every day, with average more than a hour a day,listening to lies about how I will get a confirmation for alternate option on my e-mail in 24-48-72(never received although they promised cca 100 times),telling they will called me-they never did,lying that they already called,still nothing solved and I have no ticket for my trip.They also lied about not any more tickets available for flight 14.1.,when on Skyscanner they are still available.Terrible way of treating their customers!

Emergency at home. My husband is in need of medical treatment and I am his power of attorney. We need to get home earlier in order to take to the hospital. Myself and our 2 sons are with me on vacation and there is a earlier flight. We are on a low budget and so we don't have the money for any transfer fees.

Why would you give this company a 1 star? you didn't provide any negative service they gave, only that you have an emergency and can't pay to book a new flight.

Also, I don't think this is the right avenue to post help this is a complaint site not a cs page. You should call them to get some help.

Ripped off from my refund

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
CheapOair - Ripped off from my refund
CheapOair - Ripped off from my refund - Image 2

After cancelling three trips, I received a credit for $620, stated by an email received from Cheapoair in October 2022, stating that it had to be used by 10/19/23. I plan a trip from 10/13/23 to 10/16/23 attempting to use the credit.

I contact Cheapoair to use the credit, then I get a story from them about United stating that the credit expired in May 2023, so it's their fault. What Cheapoair does is now they tell me that they're going to get me a new ticket but I had to pay $55 in addition to a credit that I already had (in which the credit should've paid for my ticket only) in order to get the ticket but stated that they would give me a refund of $271.15, stated in another email, to be sent to me within 10 business days. I check my bank account and only $170.60 was sent. I call Cheapoair about them about the remaining $99, now they tell me that "oh, we sent you $55 and $45 in May 2023" (that had nothing to do with the current refund stated on the email), so the $170.60 is what was sent.

So they had me pay an extra $55 to get a whole new ticket and then short me on a stated amount that was told to me by email and saying that I've been paid in full, you better believe I'm giving them a horrendous review and I will never use their services again!! Dont ever use this service that won't pay you any adequate refund(s), look elsewhere, please!!!

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I had to make the complaint much more pronounced bringing in other parties including your site and the BBB for them to follow through with what they had been communicating the handful of times I previously phoned them about my issue.

Original review Dec 18, 2023
I was charged $95 for making a rental car reservation. This reservation was canceled an hour after making. It has been 6 weeks and the promised refund cannot seem to happen although promised by the 6 calls made to customer service. At this point its just stealing and not disgraceful customer service. It's criminal!

No one hardly understands English. They make mistakes a lot of them and do not refund you despite Their mistakes that they make, nor do they accept mistakes that you make because of disabilities

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They do not listen to customers, nor our kind, nor tried to solve resolutions but instead, theyre just in for the money, because there is no compromise. They are not helpful at all and majority of the time they refuse for you to speak with a supervisor because I would have to constantly ask them several times to speak to a supervisor, and a supervisor wont even be of assistance.

Even though I told them because of the fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, history of seizures, arthritis, and cerebral palsy, I am unable to take the flight, because a majority of my disabilities are having flareups like the fibromyalgia and the finals stenosis, which makes it nearly impossible to walk at times. I tried multiple times to add my wheelchair so that I could still fly , but instead they wanted to charge me about double the amount and I am on a fixed income. This is the reason why I believe I should have a full refund and that the credit should not only be for one airline but it should be exclusive because it shouldnt be Just for one particular airline and just be a credit for multiple airlines for which ever one would suit a customers need. I would never deal with cheapo air.

They were very discriminating and harassing. I asked for a full refund because I felt like I was being taken advantage of , and that there was no understanding and no resolution despite my disabilities.

They did a bait and switch offer. We pay for our airline tickets. It was the wrong date I paid for protection. They said that didn't apply. Because I didn't pay for a premium ticket. I call within 8 h

They did a bait in switch offer. We also paid and I paid extra to have protection. They said that my protection didn't count. Because it was for basic economy. And I paid for a premium protection plan. I called with an 8 hours of seeing that they had the wrong date. They told me that I had to pay a $106 more to get my money back. I couldn't use the other ticket and just change the date. I had to cancel that ticket out they said and purchase a whole new ticket.

You have to pay for the new airfare cost difference between the wrong dates and what you need, don't see where this is an error by Cheapoair.
