Description

At around 2 a.m. on April 13, I searched for air tickets on the Cheap Flights APP and selected two round-trip tickets. The platform transferred my purchase to a third-party website www.farehutz.us and I paid $2802.59. I bought two tickets and received a call around 14:00 from someone claiming to be a Farehutz employee. The number is 8665038818. He told me they did not have tickets at this price and gave me several options to change my ticket, each needed an extra fee of more than $2,000. The price is too high. I couldn't afford it, but they could neither give me the tickets at the original price they offered nor agree to a refund. They said that the price change was non-refundable. But the price was the most important flight detail. I should have received a 100% refund when the flight details were changed. They required me to accept such a large raise or I would lose the nearly three thousand dollars I had paid.
