FareGeek

I saw a flight that was £497 on faregeek – all other sites had prices of £890 or more. After reading some of these reviews I thought I would ring before booking as it seemed too good to be true. I spoke with a consultant and asked him about the fare. He said the only fares they had in the system for my route were £954. I asked why the site still says £497 if this is not the price. He explained to me that they do hold limited inventory at the lower prices, but then it takes a while for the prices to update on their website once the cheap flights have sold out. I said that's funny, because I thought the internet was instant, I don't think he got my jokes.

Anyway, point being, the prices are real, initially, they will have limited flights at lower prices, I'm guessing to fill empty flights. But then this stock sells quickly and they will let you buy online at the ‘lower' price even when they don't have that stock available. Be smart – call first and ask them if they have availability at the cheaper price, then book. Hold time was only 10 minutes – which is not too bad. They guy on the phone was a $#*!, but I did get my answer.

This website offers discounts that are better and lesser as compared to other generic websites. I always check-out the rates I am getting here first and then make my booking.

The website’s ticket booking process is very fast. You simply need to login, key-in your travel details and the tickets get booked within few minutes. Anyone can get it done.

Had my confirmation email in 1 hour but ticket took over 24 hours. A good deal but confused by these reviews? Just check with your airline if your tickets valid.

Absolutely abysmal!
Went to them via Momondo as they were offering the best price. When through what seemed to be a normal procedure and received the confirmatory email with flight details etc. Got slightly suspicious as they wanted a lot of information for the payment procedures.
There is no one to answer the calls (no matter what item of the day you call!) and stupidly, I checked the reviews AFTER handing my payment details.
My genuine advise - STAY AWAY FROM THIS USELESS & PATHETIC COMPANY, else be ready for a few days of heartache and pain until they dump you... which I expect :(

I stumbled on FareGeek just recently, and discovered much lower prices than what my travel agent can offer me. I had to book a flight during the Christmas holidays, and everything was over-priced! Luckily, I came across FareGeek and found a very good price! With any online booking system, always call their 1-888 or 1-800 line to verify that they have received all your info properly. And then the next important step is to call the airline company or check the airline company's website to verify your reservation. While you verify your reservation, you can also assign yourself a seat of your choice (subject to availability). But like with any airline ticket, once you buy it (unless you buy cancellation insurance), there is no refund. I found the customer service reps at FareGeek helpful and patient, so I give them a 4.5 rating for being helpful to guide me through my first online purchase. Once I board the plane and everything goes well with my upcoming trip, I will write another review! Thank you, FareGeek! Keep up the good work!

Wish there was a rating less than one star. WORST COMPANY EVER. Anyone who rated this place higher than one star was probably either paid to do so or a family member. I've been traveling for years and have NEVER HAD A WORSE EXPERIENCE. My only regret is that I did not read these reviews before I used them. RUDE, ARROGANT, and NOT HELPFUL. Should have known - this company has 2 employees. 2. No where to go when you need help. DO. NOT. USE. THIS. COMPANY. FOR ANYTHING. My next call is to the Better Business Bureau.

Have used this website thrice and was a bit sceptical about online booking and also few reviews. But all the three times I have been lucky to get the deals that are useful for me.

I have to say we were very concerned with all the negative reviews on here, however they had the best price anywhere, and our trip to see our son for his Marine graduation, was flawless.

I just booked with a trip from SFO to HK and yes, very skeptical after reading the reviews, but I figured they are a legit company in Delaware plus any issues, my credit card co could dispute. Rec'd 1st confirmation letter after I clicked submit. I called the immediately and the call center picked up right away and was very professional and courteous and informed me to be patient as they validate payment before everything goes through. Later on that evening, I contacted them again, very short wait on the phone and the rep told me they will validate my CC within minutes and ticket will be issued. Waited in the morning and poof, all 3 tickets were ready to go and i contacted the airlines and it was confirmed. For me, it was a breeze and i trust this is a legit business we they been around a long time. For some of the complaints, if you cancelled or change to change dates, a penalty will occur at any sites or travel agency, can't blame faregeek, they are a travel business. I will use them again and recommended folks to try them out at their own risk. I am one happy customer so far, though my trip is in months. I will make weekly calls to the airline to confirm!

Ok so I booked my flight through Faregeek then I saw all the reviews and panicked like CRAZY! Truth is I had no need to, the people who are all saying how bad they are is because they clearly have not read the T&C's with their flights and bookings. Many people have booked then wanted to change, or they say that they mis sold them the flight due to times etc. I'm sorry but if you can't look at a map before booking your flight and realising that you will have less than 2 minutes to bord your next flight in a different state then that's your fault not the websites!
This whole booking has been a breeze. Not only has it saved me almost £200.00 and has been easy I was always reassured by e-mail that things were going ahead. They have never had any hidden charges or caused me any stress. The only thing that has caused me stress is reading your reviews on various websites slating this great company! So for once here is a 5 star review! No issues no problems and great friendly staff at the contact centres that called me to make sure my booking was all good!

This site offers some of the best airfare deals in the web. I have shopped for cheap air tickets with many sites, and I find their rates as truly affordable and pocket friendly.

If you have been looking for some of the best and finest travel deals and packages round the globe, this is the website to try your luck. I am happy with their service.

I booked my trip got to the airport did not have checked baggage included and I had to pay an extra 200 dollars to check my one piece luggage. Don't book with faregeek run away from this company

I am giving one star, because there is no option to give less than that. In simple words, it is a BIG SCAM run by some Indians to milk money from Fare conscious Travelers.
They simply advertise least prices for the tickets, which you will not find anywhere online. Then when you book through them, they will just give you their website confirmation number. They will not mail you the confirmed e-ticket for several days citing the reason that your credit card is being verified, its still under process etc etc. In reality they are just waiting for the price to go up, so that when you will repeatedly keep on calling them for your confirmed e-ticket, they will inform you that the prices are gone up now & you have to pay the higher price for the ticket, which you thought that you have already bought at the best price.
When you call them you are on hold for more than 30 mins, & very shamelessly they talk to you with no courtesy or no responsibility.
One wise word to all of you reading this review- I am myself an Indian, I also fell for their lowest price trap & was fooled by them. Please do not go for them otherwise you will be nowhere. Its better to book through any other website like orbitz.com, where you will find the tickets little bit expensive, but you will get peace of mind.

DONT EVER ORDER THROUGH THEM!
I paid with an international card, they told me the money was not taken from my account, that showed to be not true! They took my money anyway! But ill make sure i will get it back!

I love the attract fare rates that I have been getting from this website over a span of time. It allows me to travel for less and have fun on the way.

I made the worst travel experience with this company. I bought a montreal-istanbul round trip ticket. I do not know how their site has managed to make disappear my return booking. I made several complaints and nothing has changed. I was forced to buy a new ticket for the return. So I paid almost 2 times my ticket. I call it a breach of trust.

You have my email and phone number since I made several calls

I had purchased a roundtrip ticket from Chicago to Bangkok and the price was shown at 1389USD, then they sent me an email saying that my credit card did not go through. After calling the bank I couldn't contact them for several days. I called the number they gave me in the email but no one would pick up, I left a message and got no reply, I sent them an email and still got no reply. After 4 days of trying to contact them, I managed to talk to someone and they told me that the price is now 1512 USD but when I checked on the website, it was still 1389USD. They said that is was non-refundable.

Booked flights from Calgary to St Lucia in June '15, for November '15. Less than one week before scheduled to leave they call me saying my flights have been cancelled by the airline (not their fault I guess). They offer me an alternative itinerary which doesn't work for me so I request a refund. Now the fun part... I get an email a couple of days later saying refund has been processed by the airline and will be credited to my card in 10-15 business days. 15 business days goes by, no refund. I email to follow up, they say actually the airline refunded faregeek, not me directly, so they will process a refund for me with online transfer to be in my account in 7 business days with account details I provided to them. 7 business days later, no refund. Call them up, next guy says oh actually we are going to send you a check which will arrive in 2-3 weeks. So I speak to his supervisor who says actually no, we will online transfer and it will take 2 billing cycles (8 weeks for a refund money transfer!?!). Quite frankly, no one has a clue what is going on, I have been told something different every time call. I am sitting here nearly 2 months after my flights got cancelled last minute, and I'm still waiting for a refund from these guys. Ridiculous, stay away.

CAUTION: FAREGEEK IS A BIG BIG BIG CHEATERS!
Till date I have booked Air Tickets through 3 to 4 Websites similar to Faregeek but trust me the experience I had with Faregeek is THE worst experience of my lifetime.
This bloody f***ing people cheat their customers by showing the lesser price, later when we book it and after a day they will sent the email by saying Booking got cancelled by giving all bull$#*! reasons. When we tried booking the same Air Tickets then they are increasing the Price for nearly $200.
The funny part is the customer care representative says on my face "yes its my mistake and our fault but I can not give you again for the same price which you booked previously, instead I'll help you to book again the same Air Tickets but you need to Pay $200 extra..."

Please please please I request you that Don't ever book anything through this Faregeek because they are the BIG BIG BIG F***ING CHEATERs!

The services that are offered by faregeek really work for me as I travel often and they take care of all my travel needs. I strongly recommend others using their services.

I needed to visit Venezuela and get my tickets within my savings! This website made it possible for me as the tickets were cheap compared to other websites. Thanks a ton!
