The company demonstrates a mixed reputation, with customers appreciating the competitive pricing and user-friendly booking process. Many users report successful transactions and commend the quick service and ease of navigation on the website. However, significant concerns arise regarding hidden fees, unexpected price increases, and inadequate customer support, particularly in resolving issues or clarifying policies. Complaints about website glitches and poor communication further detract from the overall experience. While some customers express satisfaction with their purchases, the recurring issues suggest a need for improved transparency and customer service practices.

Absolutely a scam. I'm Canadian and was on the Canadian website to purchase tickets, before purchasing tickets were obviously in CAN dollars (why would a Canadian purchase in USD) and ended up getting charged in USD. Spoke to multiple people in customer service and they won't do anything because they're stating I purchased on the US site. Why would a US site state CAN dollars through all the steps, not stating anywhere it is going to be converted. Find out 48hrs when it showed up on my credit card. Won't be using them ever again and advise the same with others
Don´t book flights. You will only get back your money 6 months later if at all and need a lawyer.
Gotogate refusal to send back money after airline cancellation. Legal aspects for your emails.
Plus on revoew site they pretend that they worked on it. They have a scoial media team. The refusal to issue a refund, despite the cancellation of the flight and the confirmed reimbursement from Ethiopian Airlines on 28 April 2025, constitutes a clear violation of EU Regulation 261/2004 as well as the Swedish Consumer Sales Act (Konsumentköplagen).
Under Article 8 of EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers are entitled to a full refund within 7 days following cancellation by the airline. This obligation applies regardless of whether the booking was made directly or through a travel agent. Furthermore, under Swedish law, travel agents and intermediaries are not entitled to delay refunds pending reimbursement from third parties. The obligation to refund lies with the contract partner — in this case, Gotogate.
Their service is terrible. I have been waiting for refund after one of the flights was canceled already two weeks and they can't give me information on what is going on. I just hear that they escalating and that I should wait some time. Already my holiday trip is ruined.
You increased the price $200 between the time that I entered passenger/payment details and the time that I pressed submit, calling it "high demand". This is called scamming customers
Long booking process. Price increase from first search. The exclusion of passport details make the booking seem up in the air.
I had a very disappointing experience with Go to Gate. I purchased a ticket that included additional baggage, only to be later informed that they couldn't provide the extra baggage due to a technical error. They processed a refund for the baggage only, but since I cannot travel without it, I requested the cancellation of my entire reservation and a full refund. Instead of taking responsibility, their support tried to shift the blame onto the airline to avoid accountability. Despite my follow-up emails, I received no response, and their customer support refused to escalate the issue to a manager or discuss the situation with the airline.
Even after I finished my conversation with support, I received a survey link with options that clearly indicated I did not want to take the survey!
Based on my horrible experience, I would not recommend their service at all.
I paid the extra for the flexi service.
I need to move up my reservation/flight date by a month. Couldn't get a call though from Milawi. No chat option. Airline couldn't help me because you held the ticket. I need the flight in 5 days.
It's available...
The web put the price in USD but when I agree to pay that amount in USD, they change the currency to DKK so I have to pay more than the price and also the service fee for exchange rate too. I consider as the cheat seller.
I purchased a ticket with wrong date. My mistake 100%. However, when I contact GoToGate to make the change within one hour of purchase, I was told that it wasn't possible. I had a pay a fee in order to change or cancel the trip. Other travel sites and airlines allow free change or cancellation within 24 hour period.
I JUST TRIED TO ADD THE SECOND LAST NAME BECAUSE I GOT WRONG MY INTERPRETATION OF THE ENGLISH ON THE WEBSITE AND PUT ONE LAST NAME IN EVERY PASSAPORT, CHAT AGENT COULDN'T HELP ME
If i could give zero stars I would. Beware if you're trip has multiple "legs" as if you make the first flight they say they do not need to buy the tickets for your next flights. They did this and when I complained they said it is the airline policy. I asked to see the policy and was told we can't show you it. Now we're out $1,000.
What a pain wading through the extras - also do you think you could provide an itinerary for all of my flights not just some? Cheap is as Cheap gets I guess
The website was easy to navigate. There is no place on the order form to put my TSA Pre-check number. I called Go To Gate, but they told me I had to contact the airline to submit my number.
To just be honest, I'm a bit worried--I looked at reviews for Go To Gate and many people are not happy. If I am satisfied, I would be happy to write you all a review!
I will never buy tickets on you site! It was absolute scam, from showing that price increased during booking, to book in another currency. Awful service
DO NOT USE BOOKING.COM PARTNER GO TO GATE TO BOOK YOUR FLIGHTSI am not surprised that they have terrible reviews because the incompetence and abhorrent customer service that I have experienced since I made this booking and more over the past 5 days and my flights are still not rescheduled 5 days from travel is flabbergasting! I have been charged extra for flight changes that weren't not made to my booking. When I enquired why the ch age I paid for were not made to my flight no one responded to this day I have not received a response! The staff are clueless on the escalation process and are unwilling to assist customers to resolve the issue. I have called and messaged them every single day about my flight changes, no contacts me to provide an update and no one has any helpful information to provide. I will never use Go To Gate EVER AGAIN!
Raised the price at the last minute, after clicking "process payment"
Also wanted an extra fee for every little detail, even checking in online.
I cannot do the check in on line on your Page.
It is written that I can do it directly at the airline provider.
But there is nowwhere written who is airline provider?
On the last screen, after I confirmed, it flashed onto the screen that I resided in the United Kingdom. Hopefully the fact that I am flying from Brisbane, Australia, this won't be an issue!
After finishing my booking, I received an error to refresh the page suddenly the price increased.
I was happy with your good offer, but I was disappointed at the end.
Anyway, thank you
Answer: Yes they are scammers operating from unknown destination No phone number and no e-mail correspondence Criminals that stole my $1800 with no apology
Answer: Dont bother mate they have stolen your money like over 2000 other people goto your bank and airline and start to gather evidence.
Answer: Passengers' money is too little, who cares. Even if you were cheated, as an individual passengers, you won't shake the whole tree. They want your money, nothing else, like a pirate or thief.
Answer: They grabbed the credit card from passengers, of course, they will take as much money as possible from your bank account. The break the policy from the US department of transportation, but they don't care, they want your money. The best thing is not to purchase ticket from their website.
