This company is a disgrace
This company is a disgrace, I was diagnosed with bowel and going through chemotherapy. Smart fare wont give me a refund. I will never book with smart fare ever again. I wasn’t given a 13 digit number I was just give a piece of paper with flight times. I am now having to go through my bank to get a refund. I could even lose my money.
Good service
was super easy
False Advertising
I booked a Tampa–Germany flight with one checked bag included, but the confirmation didn’t show it. Smartfares said it was a system glitch and now wants $230 one way for the bag—they should honor the original booking since the error wasn’t mine. Cancelled my flight again, but very frustrating.
Was easy and cheap thanks guys
thanks very much

Prepaid for baggage a month ahead of the flight schedule. I received an email from the airline to add baggage a week ahead of the flight. I reached out to smartfares and they confirmed that I had purchased the baggage and did not have to purchase again. They said to confirm within 24 hours by calling them back and everything would be situated. I called back as instructed and they said that the airline is not allowing them to add baggages. I'll have to add baggages through the airline and they will be refunding. But after searching reviews, I see that most people struggle to get refunds. Will not be booking here again. Thanks smartfares
Their system purposes changes your ticket, then they try to charge you a large fee to fix it!
After booking my flight through them I got a confirmation with all the details and names on the tickets, and everything was showing as correct. No issues, no typos. A little while after that I got another confirmation and one of the passengers names was changed. They added a middle initial when I left the middle name blank and then attached it to the first name to make it look like the first name was spelt wrong. When contacted they said changes can only be made within 24 hours without a fee. It has only been maybe 12 hours and they still tried to charge me $100 to fix a mistake their system made. I had to go directly to the airline to get it fixed. Apparently they do this a lot to charge people more. And then they tried to get my review taken down. Do Not Use, Total scam.
Very good to travel with you
