Worst Experience
Worst Experience. Singapore Airline cancelled the booking due to Covid-19 and this travel agent is charging $100 AuD for cancellation of bookings. I emailed proof of other bookings with different agencies who gave full refund. But their company policy states to charge people even during Covid Pandemic. Pathetic!!

I would give this company 0 star's if I could
I would give this company 0 star's if I could. The company pretty much assumes that it should be immune to any losses by charging customers a $50 CMF change fee for the inability for us to fly. A lot of the responses state that it is 'halved' compared to usual but booking through sites like myholidays, they charge FAR less for a change fee. In addition to this, they attempted to charge me a $57.50 fee for 'airline and tax' which I confirmed with Virgin was not the case for the flight that I intended to take. This site claims to be 'Australian' but there is nothing Australian about keeping people's funds without shared responsibility. I, like many other customers, will not use Checkmyfares.com again in future. I hope your $50 goes a long way for your business survival.

Extremely dishonest business.
Refused to allow phone calls in the weeks leading up to my flights Refused to respond to my email until the very early hours of the morning before the flight was set to leave. I then believe they went out of their way to make the email more likely to end up in junk mail.
The email says if no response same day you do not get any refund for a cancelled flight.
Outrageous and deceptive behaviour

Ticket Cancellation Chaos!! Unreasonable Cancellation fees quoted
Due to Covid-19 scenario, I have to cancel my trip 28/03/2020 to 19/04/2020.
Though under current situation most Air Lines are not charging anything for refunds. But when I submitted my Cancellation request through Email & from Site (Phone not working at all).
They came back with approx. 80% cancellation fees of total amount I had paid. Their site still clearly says AUD 140 per ticket cancellation charge, but the cancellation quote charging AUD 250 per ticket, on top of Air Line cancellation charges, which again Check My Fares says is AUD 400 Per ticket!!!! When checked the Air Line they have around AUD 60 per ticket cancellation charge.
I have mentioned all this to their Customer Support in email and haven't got any response back. On Air Line site it looks like the tickets have been cancelled, but still haven't got any update from CheckMyFares site.
I have no clue what amount would be refunded. If it isn't reasonable I would have no option but to got to Ombudsman Australia for resolution.

CMF-2020-03958 (cancellation)
Hello.
I booked a flight to New Zealand(CHC) - Melbourne - Bali - Incheon. But I heard that when I arrive in New Zealand, I have to quarantine it for 14 days. I am just a traveler, I don't want to be. We can't go to Melbourne because we have to quarantine it when we arrive and also Because I don't go to New Zealand. If I don't go to Melbourne, I can't even go to Bali. So I need to cancel. That's why I have to cancel all of these trips, and I want a full refund because of the coronavirus.

They are worst travel agency I have ever dealt. I have booked a flight last week in Malaysian airlines and the ticket has been cancelled by the airlines. They are not even picking the call or responding to the email request for refund . They are modern day cheaters. It's lie that they are telling that they can't even answer the customer questions.

NEVER. AGAIN.
I booked flights a year ago for March. Due to the virus outbreak I had to arrange Urgent flights home - despite dozens of unanswered phone calls and numerous emails and online form submissions asking for help in changing my booking or even cancelling it and requesting, I still have not heard anything. No calls are answered nor emails. I have encouraged all friends and family to avoid this service. I ended up having to buy more flights just to return to my country. I just want answers and my money back!!!!!!!

My calls are not attended and there is no reply to my emails. I understand these are tough times, and you might be busy. But not returning to mails/calls is really poor customer service. I want to cancel my ticket and get the full refund back as Malaysian airlines is now allowing their travellers for refund/reschedule. My Booking ref no - CMF-2019-29108

My flight is today in hours still no communication
My flight is today. Still no calls or updates on rescheduling it cancellation. It's really frustrating. No help. Direction less. No reply to emails. Just said will get back. When after my flight time? Never felt such helpless. I understand their situation but if travel date is today in hours they should deal it as priority. Don't know what's going to happen. Just wait wait wait. no response, no help, no information what they are doing for me.

Hi Joanne
Thank you for your comments.
We understand your frustration, there are thousands of people who have been displaced by this terrible global crisis and we are doing our best to get everyone where they need to be, as quickly as possible.
The phone lines were being inundated, creating unacceptable wait times for customers and all change/cancellation requests need to be sent in writing before they can be actioned.
Switching to email and online responses only means the team can get through 2-3 times as many cases each day. This in turn means we can help a greater number of customers more quickly (including getting to your request sooner), which is our priority right now.
Kind regards
