First time using it and it all went reasonably smooth. There was some hiccups initially with prices until I realized that it was set to USD, a trap that truly does irritate me when booking air fares.... See more

unhappy customer.

The system changed the booking to 3 months earlier. I had paid insurance which was to permit me to change my booking and /or obtain a full refund. The company is now refusing to pay me the refund. So dont bother paying for insurance this company will not honour any policy you pay to have.

Hello Nikita,

Thank you for sharing this experience. Having booking dates shift unexpectedly and facing difficulty with an insurance claim is difficult, and having a request denied is disappointing.

Checking the exact status of this policy and getting clarity on what happened is top priority. A separate email will be sent shortly with an update regarding the request and the next steps to resolve this.

Kind regards,
Mark | Customer Service

The worst airline booking experience I…

The worst airline booking experience I have ever had. Since my dad has had undergone a major open heart surgery, and I submitted a medical certificate and all documents that my dad cannot travel.
They have not raised a request to airlines at all and instead lied to us that the airlines have rejected and the patient isn’t passenger at all on the ticket!
I called airlines directly and they confirmed we are eligible for 100% refund and haven’t received any request from budgetair.
I have called them n number of times. I am 9 months pregnant and dealing my father’s medical condition and calling them and trying to contact them every 2 hours once.
They don’t answer promptly and they have been just bullying around and the flight is now in 4 days. I have raised request 10 days ago. Everytime I call them back they say request has been rejected. They are a big scam!
They operate customer care from
India and service for Australia. The worst customer service I have ever experienced!

Hello Jananki,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We take your situation very seriously and want to clarify that refund decisions, especially regarding medical waivers, are determined strictly by the airline, not BudgetAir. We simply relay the outcome and information provided to us by the carrier.

Given your circumstances, we have resubmitted the medical refund request directly to the airline on your behalf. Our team will reach out to you directly to also provide all proof of rejection.

Kind regards,
Steve

Hello Agarwal,

We would like to clarify that we have not quoted or charged you any fees. Since your flight is scheduled for tomorrow, we are unable to process name correction requests, as airline policies do not permit changes within 48 hours of departure.

Our team will reach out to you to explain this policy in more detail and assist you further.
