Raised Fare
CheapO tried to raise the price on my tickets and chang the airline. You go through all of the hassle to find a good fare, then book it only to have CheapO tell you the next day that the fare increased? Wrong answer! When I called CheapO I was on hold for 10 minutes and gave up. I emailed CheapO and told them not to book the ticket. I went to the AirTran site and booked the original ticket at the original CheapO fare and did not have to pay the $24 CheapO booking fee. CheapO ain't cheap, and I am done with them.

Customer Serive /charges
I made a purchase for a roundtrip flight. I have not received a confirmation..booking number..nothing!!!
I stayed on hold for over 45 minutes..no one ever picked up. Does this mean I need to pursue legal action against them or what? Does someone have a different number..person to call? Please help. They suck!

hidden charge of taxes = $300!
Cheapoair hotel sales when checking out states "All taxes and fees are included" so I thought ok great. It wasn't until I was at the hotel that I was getting charged $300 MORE than my reservation for taxes that Cheapoair had misquoted me on. Although they had said that they were INCLUDED. Ultimately cheapoair took no blame saying it does say all taxes are included BUT there is also some tiny hidden writing in the "terms and conditions" link that states that there are taxes and other fees that can not be predicted. Although two truths were listed, the one that was hidden away in tiny script was the actual rule and they weren't responsible for the EXTRA $300 I was charged!!! I say bullshit and so scheisty!

Not notified of canceled return flight
We booked our flight in August 2008 and in November 2008 they called because they found out our return flight had been canceled for Sunday so it was changed so we'd be coming back a day early.
We just called the airline to find out our return flight info since we didn't have a flight number only to find out it had been canceled in December 2008.
We never received a call from Cheapoair and they refused to take responsibility for not informing us. Their terms and conditions on their website are a joke since it basically says they take no responsibility for anything that happens.
We ended up paying more for a flight and they still might not refund us the correct amount from the first airline that canceled the flight.
Do NOT do business with this company and tell your friends. We wish we had looked for feedback before we booked with them. You'll never see negative feedback on their website because they won't own up to their mistakes.

not booked on flight
I booked flights for my teenage daughter and her friend through CheapOAir. They were not listed on the last flight segment, even though we had paid and been confirmed by CheapOAir. They managed to get a ride with Liat. I checked there booking on there return flight, and to my horror discovered they were booked on a nonexistent flight. I tried calling customer service(at international rates), was put on hold, told I was being helped, and then cut off. I had to book my own way home for the girls. After 4 attempts to straighten this out, nothing has been resolved. Do not use this company!!! No wonder they are so cheap.

reservation switches
I went to this website cheapoair.com to book some tickets to Germany for me and my 2 kids.I took their site because they had the cheapest price and I needed a good price since we do not have that much money.

So I tried to book and I made a mistake when I entered my credit card information, so I had to retype it and the page refreshed and without me knowing the dates changed as well(instead from 1.June to 4.Aug it went from 1.June till 4.June)I really don't know how that happened(YES, CHEAPOAIR DOES SWITCHES DATES ON YOU!!!), but anyhow I had made the booking and I was so happy about it because I thought everything was ok.
But not even 5 minutes later I noticed the dates and I totally panicked.I tried to call the company, they were very rude and not negotiable AT ALL.So no help from them, even I explained them what had happened and the the dates had changed when the page refreshed.So I was almost crying cause they had already taken out the full amount of the tickets out of our account(better say on hold).I called my bank to stop payment, but they couldn't do anything because that department was already closed.SO, I had to call cheapoair back and try to talk with them again.
There was this girl working there she tried to tell me that the tickets could be changed but I had to pay extra money for it, even though it had the same price, cause like I said, I had the flight already for those dates .I was totally frustrated and crying and didn't know what to do, so I agreed to pay the extra money to fix the dates.So they said they will charge me credit card AGAIN for the same amount plus the extra money and refund the old amount.(Which is a really strange method).But I agreed, if they would not charge me a cancellation fee for the old reservation.And the girl told me not of course not, cause I'm booking a new flight with a higher price.I thought everything was ok, but she did not send me a confirmation for the new flight right away so I had to contact and she promised me to send them the next day.
SO the next day she calls me and tell me that she can not book the new flight cause it gives her always an "error" when she books it and so therefore I can keep looking on another website for another flight.And I asked her how can I do this if you have ALL of our money on hold to be released to their company?She tried to calm me down that the amount will be refunded in as little as 72 hours.(Yeah right!!!)But she said they will charge me for that even it was their fault, so she lied to me and this is how this site make money as well, by ripping people off and giving them the runaround, VERY TERRIBLE COMPANY!!!)So the end of the story the next day I receive an email that the flights have been canceled and I will get a refund IN 4 WEEKS!!!Can you believe that???They wanted to take thousands of dollars and keep it for up to 4 weeks(not to mention ALL the money that we had at that time)!!!I had to do something, so I called my bank and I explained the situation and I had luck, they could stop most of it but the still owe me $72, and it has almost been 4 weeks since the cancellation.I want my money back and then some.For the worst customer service and lies and rip off that they do to people.I hope they will run out of business, cause this is not they way to make money, horrible, horrible company!!!
DO NOT USE THEM!!!

Won't provide replacement flights
Last July, I booked round-trip flights from Raleigh-Durham to Reno. Last month, I learned that all the flights had been dropped from Delta's schedule. I contact CheapOAir no fewer than six times, three of which I either remained on hold or was disconnected after 15-20 minutes. On the other three occasions, I spoke with Indians who all had poor command of English. They all said they would make the necessary changes and contact me, by phone, not email (why, I don't know, since they had my email address).

I'm STILL waiting for them to call with the new flights. After reading numerous complaints on this website about CheapOAir, I must assume I am also a victim of their "wonderful" customer service.

Right now, I have no idea what will happen. I emailed Delta about this situation, but the odds are there will be no means for them to alter the reservation. Delta will probably refer me to CheapOAir.

This will be the last time I book with these people. It may have been an expensive lesson. We'll see.

Billing/cancellation policy
Booked hotel on 12/16 for 12/19 & 20
Snowed out on 12/18;
tried to cancel and after over an hour on hold I find I needed to cancel within 8 hours of booking or there is a one night + service fees charge.

OUTRAGEOUS!!!

DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE

charges at airport
When I arrived at the airport on 12/1 the agent told me I still owed 15.50, they stated that they were underpaid for the flight. I needed to pay before I could get on the flight. I also noted a random 10.00 charge on my credit card, it seems that Cheapoair directs you to a coupon company who charges you 10.00 to get 10.00 off of your flight price. This company is shady.I have been flying for over 30 years and never had this happen. I've used several internet companies to book my flights and have never had a problem until now. I will never use Cheapoair again.

bad customer service/lies/
I ordered 4 tickets to Morocco for my wife and two daughters. Three weeks later I get an email that there is a problem with my reservation.
I called and the first rep hung up on me. When the second rep answered, I asked for her name and she hung up on me. The third time I spoke
with someone who spoke English that I could understand and they told me "Royal Air Maroc and Delta Airlines would not be a partner on the
flight as offered and one leg of my trip was cancelled and they would not refund the cancelled part. They said they would work on it and call me back. When they called back, I was told Delta cancelled the departing flight. I called Delta and found out Cheapoair was lying. If Cheapoair offers a price for airline travel(I paid $4800), they should honor it. Also, who is watching out for the air travelers. We are left to the mercy of sleazy operators with no place to complain except
an internet forum. I will never use cheapoair again-it's not worth the aggravation.
