I made an airline reservation. I did not get an email confirmation, so I called the booking agent the next day. He told me the restrictions on my ticket. I still didn't get an email confirmation. I called the next day. I was told my ticket was cancelled by American Airlines. Cheapvuelos tried to sell me another seat that was $300-$400 more expensive than my original ticket. I believe both the booking agent and the airlines do this to sell higher priced seats. My money was refunded even though it was nonrefundable. It obviously left me with no ticket and I had to change my vacation dates.

Best Ticket Fare .com is a total scam. They offer a cheap airline fare, then they do not book it with an airline. They call you and try and add fee's, charges, change airports, not honoring what was the ticket price. Threaten to charge you with non cancelable fees.

This is happening a lot right now, many people of social media reporting the scam. Please shut them down

Purchased airline tickets for $702.00 and they charged my card $789.00. I called their 888 number and was told the 702.00 charge was a restricted purchase. No carry on, no luggage. In order to have luggage we had to pay an additional 195.00 each. They continually avoided my question as to why I was charged 789.00 when the agreement was for 702.00. Nothing was stated on the site that we would not be able to have a carry on or luggage. In order to get that we had to pay more money. I asked to speak to a manager and he was not helpful by any means. He claimed no refunds because the American Airlines would not reimburse them. After getting no where, except trying to get me to pay more money, I threatened a lawyer and then I hung up on him.

I called American Airlines to ask them questions about their policy about luggage and being charged all the extra fees. They asked what company I used to purchase tickets and I told them. They said they never heard of that company and it's not one they do business with. She told me to contact my Credit Card company. I have yet to see any tickets or itinerary sent to me or any confirmation email but yet they charged my card. Everyone I spoke to sounded like they were from India. I work for a financial institution and can't believe I fell for this. There are complaints about this company on Yelp with my same story.

I purchased 2 airline tickets to Jackson Hole, WY from Indianapolis, IN for United Airlines. The website said that someone would call or email in the next day or two with additional information. I figured that would be when I could pay for my luggage or choose my seats. When I spoke to the representative, she said that I could not add luggage or choose my seat. I wasn't surprised about the seat, but no luggage??? She said since the ticket prices were low, United would not allow me to pay for my luggage at the airport. So......unless I wanted to travel to Yellowstone National Park without anything, even a carry-on, I would need to upgrade my tickets, which were more than double the price. I could not get a refund. Definitely a "Bait and Switch". I canceled my credit card and so far I have not been charged. I just don't want to be sent to collections/

I was forced to download an app called jetcost from skyscanner.com. After downloading the app I found a cheaper airline ticket to Europe from addontrip.com.

Something didn’t feel right because addontrip took the money from their website without transferring to Delta. Also I never received delta confirmation number or anything. I checked the reviews and saw the scamming tactics & block my card before they can charge it.

I am still surprised that even after so many complaints why are we not taking any actions?
