Sold me an unusable international…
Sold me an unusable international ticket and never warned me about the transit visa
This was one of the worst travel-booking experiences I have ever had.
I purchased an international ticket through BudgetAir for travel from New York to Manila on Saudia. BudgetAir accepted my payment, issued the ticket, and sent me messages indicating that everything was ready for travel.
What BudgetAir did not tell me was that the itinerary required a transit visa.
I discovered the visa requirement only because I independently checked the itinerary before leaving for the airport. Had I simply relied on the information BudgetAir provided, I could have arrived in New York expecting to take my flight only to discover that I could not travel.
Even worse, the ticket was sold so close to departure that there was no realistic way for me to obtain the required transit visa in time. Once I discovered this, I had essentially no choice but to cancel the ticket.
I lost more than $600 as a result.
This is what makes the experience unacceptable to me. BudgetAir sold me an international itinerary without clearly warning me about a visa requirement that could prevent me from using the ticket at all. A travel company selling complicated international itineraries should make critical transit-document requirements extremely clear before taking a customer's money.
Trying to get help afterward was nearly useless. BudgetAir appears to have essentially no meaningful customer service beyond online chats and automated messages. The chats did not solve the problem. There was no effective human assistance available when I was facing an immediate international travel problem involving hundreds of dollars.
I was left with a ticket I could not realistically use, no practical way to obtain the required visa before departure, inadequate customer support, and a loss of more than $600.
Had I not independently investigated the visa requirements myself, the situation could have been even worse — I could have traveled all the way to New York and discovered there that I could not continue my trip.
I will never book through BudgetAir again. Saving a little money on airfare is not worth the risk of discovering at the last minute that the itinerary they sold you requires travel documents they never clearly told you about.
Book directly with the airline. I wish I had.

For my trip I clicked on the 10:45 am flight from Orlando to Boston. I didn't notice it switched on it's own to the late night flight. Tried to get it switched back to 10:45 and can't.

I thought we were booking Maya Air from the same international airport we land at. The next day I noticed it was at the Municipal airport 10 miles away. This is our first trip there and didn't know that.

AVOID BUDGETAIR AT ALL COSTS! YOU ARE BETTER OFF PAYING MORE!
Absolute worst experience of my life. If I could give them zero stars, I would. Do yourself a huge favor and book directly with the airline, even if it costs more. The tiny bit of money you think you are saving with BudgetAir is absolutely not worth the nightmare that follows.Their customer service is practically non-existent and completely useless. They changed our flight schedule from a manageable 4-hour trip to a grueling ordeal lasting more than 24 hours. When we rightfully rejected this massive change and requested a full refund, they refused to cooperate and only offered a partial refund for an issue that they caused!To make matters worse, I still haven't received my refund at all. They just take your money, leave you stranded, and ignore you when you ask for it back. No one should ever use BudgetAir. Save yourself the stress, the headache, and the stolen money—avoid this company at all costs.
