Don't risk your time and money

I was trying to find some air tickets for my upcoming holiday and stumble upon on really cheap (and suspiciously cheap) tickets on checkmyfares.com. After, getting all the way though, to the checkout, I was pleasantly surprised that the price is still same and clicked the "book now" button, After a few moments, I saw a popup warning in my browser saying that the actual price has been changed by the airlines company. And It was almost a double price! As a result, I had to go to contact the customer care, wait until my money get back to my account and book ticket other place.

The time waisted with checkmyfares.com cost me a couple of hundreds as prices went up...

Bought tickets at a very good price

Bought tickets at a very good price. Got a confirmation. Checked on the airlines website, all was good. Next day received an email from checkmyfares saying that the "reservation is not valid" and they canceled my tickets. It seems some other reviewers experienced similar problems. Will never ever use their services.

Offered me a fare

Offered me a fare, which I paid for, got a receipt for, and a confirmation email.
Went ahead and booked accommodation etc based on the fare.
A few hours later, an email just saying 'Sorry the airline couldn't validate the booking' - no recompense for the massive inconvenience caused.

Poor customer service, left us panicking to find replacement flights at short notice. They took my money in 1 second, and took over 2 days to process the refund.

Overbooking fares and then disappointing customers is not how you generate good loyalty and custom.

I won't be using Checkmyfares again

Hi Andrew,

We apologise for not giving you the best possible experience in this instance.

While we always endeavour to offer our customers the best possible fares, we do have to rely on the global reservation system and as you can appreciate fare avilability (particularly for the cheaper flights) can change from moment to moment.

I would be more than happy to look at the particular fares you are searching for, but cannot seem to find you in our system. Are you able to provide any details around the dates and/or destinations you were searching?

Apologies again for any inconvenience this may have caused and we look forward to assisting you rectify this issue with your booking.

SCAM

This website is a scam as the cost advised on the search increases incredibly ($1500 was my experience) when you go to finalise the payment. I made several attempts and received the same result.
A scam which people need to be aware of.

Scam...be careful.

The website says a low price when checking fares and then when you get to the payment section the fare has suddenly gone up by thousands of dollars. The website did this for every search!! Scam!

I wish there was zero rating so I can give them a zero , they're look like scam , I hated every thing about them, the website and customer service are awful , I'm regretting booking through them,
I preferred emailing them which took so long to get a reply than calling the phone number that keeps saying it's not they're working hours and then getting a call from the rude customer service who rudely says oh it's you again,
