“Great Attention”

Mariana M.
8/14/23

Max Hopper was a good listener to my travel goals, very informative, and obtained tickets at $300.00 less than searching on Expedia. I am contacting him again for my fourth ticket later. For those who offer poor reviews, sometimes it is us, client who needs to be patient.

Cheap fares is illegitimate. A scam Booked 6 seats for 475 ea on United. Half hr later they call to tell me fare is 710. So I said ok cancel it. They refused to cancel it and tried to charge me 2500. Said I'd have a credit Blocked the charge on my credit card United said the fare was fully refundable within 24 hrs but the company still wouldn't budge. Do not book with them at all!

It's a scam site they are gonne show a price you book your flight and after you call, the flight you want is not available. They then say you need to pay the ticket for double price. If you say that you want a refund they say is not refundable. I had to cancel my cerdit card. It's fraud and dishonest marketing. Dont make business with them.

I don't see how this company can continue as a legitimate business. I recently booked a flight through them. A few minutes after completing the booking, I received a call from one of their agents informing
Me that the price at which I booked would not be honored. The agent informed me of the following:
1. The flight that I had booked had placed me on standby.
2. Offered to book me on a flight with a different airline at a date one day later than my previous booking.
3. The cost of my booking would increase by 62%.

I told them just to cancel the booking. They refused. Fly far away from this company.

Do NOT book tickets with this company! Right in the fine print it states that your booking is not guaranteed and is only "a request." I booked tickets through them that they never actually booked (even tho I had a confirmation) and had to rebook through the airline at a much higher rate because this company never booked my flight. Stay far far away from this site! They've also been investigated by the BBB and were determined a bait & switch site.

Basically they're fraudsters. You think you're getting an incredible deal, and then they say you're on stand-by and to keep your seats, you need to pay $5,000! So much for getting a good deal. Just terribly dishonest.

If I could do a NEGATIVE 3 - I'd do it. We used CheapFlights.com to get fares. The CheapDealsFare was chosen and we ordered two trips with Delta and American and got reasonable pricing for them. But, they emailed me saying that they couldn't confirm the flights and we needed to call them back asap. So, we did. And they continued to scam us by saying the fare was no longer available and we need to move over to Southwest and pay more and they would get confirmation that they could get two free checked bags for us. We pushed back hard on the second booking and said this is highway robbery and they should not sell or advertise what they cannot complete. We hung up on the second booking and did not complete the conversation with them to see if they charge us anyway. Manipulative, dishonest and forceful and shady conversations all happening in a call center overseas - likely Indian.

I had an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience with Cheapdealsfare. I booked a flight through their website for $141.33, and everything seemed fine initially. However, a few minutes later they call me back. Stating that they can't honor my trip, but If I would add $175 more they would. They were very rude on the phone and very quick to hang up the phone. They call me a fool and said I was the one who came to them, not them to me. And that they will not refund my money. Even though they are the one canceling my trip. There was no clear explanation or alternative offered.
I tried to contact their customer service, but it was nearly impossible to get a hold of anyone. After hours on hold and multiple attempts, I finally reached someone who was unhelpful and seemed uninterested in resolving my issue. They said they will not give me my money back, and if I want the fight I have to pay the extra $175.
To make matters worse, the airline itself is selling the same tickets for $86.00. Cheapdealsfare is a scam, with rude customer service. In the end the customer rep would give his name are employee ID and told me to go figure it out myself.
Overall, Cheapdealsfare caused me a lot of stress, wasted time, and extra expenses. I will never use their service again and would not recommend them to anyone. Save yourself the hassle and book directly with the airline or a more reputable travel agency.

Tip for consumers:

Please please do not use this company to book your flights. If I could them a 0 rating, I would. They have the cheapest price for flights only to attract customers to their sites. They never confirm your seats and if you're not careful, you'd find out days later or even on your flight day that your ticket was cancelled. I booked 2 tickets for my mom and called to confirm and they told me that they can't confirm and that it's likely the tickets would not go through. I talked to multiple agents and even the supposed manager who hung up on me. It's all people from India, who you know have a monopoly on scams, so be careful.

Company posts cheap flights online, sends a receipt/booking confirmation, but doesn't send flight confirmations from airlines. When you call them, they try to charge you more to book OR attempts to charge a cancellation fee. Those are your only two options, and the call center is a "group" of a couple of ppl that are all in on it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. 100% a SCAM

Verified purchase

They tricked my wife into thinking we got round-trip tickets to Orlando for our family of 7 for only $540 with Frontier. They took payment and immediately after the payment told her now you have to choose if you are bringing bags and do you want to sit together with your kids? When my wife said yes, they told her it was going to be an additional $1,600. My wife was shocked and said that's more than Delta we normally fly with and the rep pretty much told her that's fine if we didn't want to continue, but we would forfeit our $540 we paid for 3 minutes ago.

My wife came and found talked to me and we had CheapDealsFare send us information about what we just purchased for $540 and what else would be included for $1,600. To not lose the $540 we decided to go forth, but at that time they said the flight had booked up more and now it would be an additional $150 if we want seat selection. So naively, we were conned into more money. (later I went and looked up our flight and both ways it's only about 20% full… mostly empty! Liars!)

When it came to our flight, we found that one of my kids didn't have checked luggage paid for (either way) and that we were going to have to pay $69 x 2. We showed Frontier our written confirmation from CheapDealsFare showing "1 Free Checked Bag/passenger" included in our rip-off price package we paid, and Frontier basically said too bad, they are not affiliated with CheapDealsFare. And they were pretty rude about it too. They suggested we book directly with them next time.

I was given a price of $300 round trip. I submitted with my payment. Later (maybe an hour) I received an email to call to confirm. What. I called they said they could only get the return trip. That the cost would now be $900. I told them I was not interested and they tried to tell me that the return trip was already confirmed and paid for and I could not cancel the return trip. They argued that I have to pay for the return trip. They could not understand that I bought a package (to & from) I was not interested in one way. They continued to charge me for the package even though it was not complete as they had originally proposed.

Stay clear of this company. I hope you see the reviews before you put in your credit card information.

What a disaster it's been dealing with this airline ticket purchase. Because their billing is so confusing, I'm now fighting with my credit card company to get back the extra agency fee they were paid. STAY AWAY!

I booked a flight online, did most of the work. Thought booking was done. Got a call next day, had to re-book due to issues. Did not realize I was going to be paying extra ($400) for this, thought I had made reservations myself, not someone from Cheapdealsfare. Would never use this company again.

DO NOT EVER USE CHEAPDEALSFARE via cheapflights.com! They book you at one fare then freeze your flight and call you back and say that flight can't be booked bc it didn't charge you the correct "taxes" and upcharge you $140! It did this to my nephew. Believe me we had words when I called them! It's CRIMINAL!

Don't go this route! OMG! I booked with Cheapdealsfare for a great price and was called at midnight to be told the airline did not accept my booking. After being on the phone trying to get rebooked I ended up with a bill twice the price of the original booking. After calling the airline I found out that I would have saved $200 to have booked directly with the airline! Within the 24 hour window I called to cancel. They would give me half of my money back! After talking to the BBB I had the right to cancel for a full refund as they were dishonest. What an absolute nightmare! I have a claim on file with the BBB to investegate if my money is not returned in full within the next 48 hours. Please, oh please beware!

I fell for everything that the reviews talk about regarding CheapDealsFare. They don't honor the published fare, they lie about the airline putting a hold on the reservation, and they ask for more money to be able to book the flight.
STAY AWAY FROM THEM! You'll be scammed.

The price of my trip that was emailed to me was not honored, instead an extra $300 was required to get actual seats. Customer service was terrible, don't believe the checkout price, they will add fees after and con you out of money.

Do not deal with this company. They are fake company; they tried to change my Ticket price by 300$ after charging my bank. Now They ask me to pay 1200 $Instead of paying 911$. They saying, no enough seat; Whereas when I selected the flight were a lot of open seat.

Tip for consumers:
stay a way from CHEAP DEALS FAIR

Within minutes of "booking" I did not receive a confirmation of my reservation. The page reads still in process. I called the agent immediately. The agent said that Spirit airlines has no flights for the days booked and they cannot accommodate my family. The reservation was not confirmed, booking was on hold, and the ticket class was not available. Someone called and tried to switch my travel time for another day for an extra cost of $16 per passenger. I asked to cancel ASAP. The agent refused. Then hanged up on me. PLEASE STAY AWAY and be careful who you book through.

This is the second airfare purchase made on this site.
After searching for the itinerary options and fares, per the website suggestion, I called the toll free number to inquire if there were any better deals. To my surprise, both times, Jack Watson patiently searched various itineraries which was complicated with our party departing from different cities. I can highly recommend Jack's professionalism, courtesy and efficiency handling my reservations, exceeding my expectations. And, my phone calls were picked up after the first ring, too, unlike calling airlines which can put you on hold for hours. Call this site first; you won't be disappointed.
