    booked airline tickets and they gave me a conformation number, then called back 10 minutes later and said that 2 of the 4 tickets were confirmed. The second 2 were on a standby only and that if i wanted those tickets to be confirmed I would have to pay an upgrade charge of $400+ for that to happen. I told them they could either refund my money as that's not what I paid for or confirm the other 2 tickets I paid for. They charged me for services they could not follow through on so they try to sell an upgrade charge! They tell me I can not get a refund as it was non-refundable! They sell you services they know they can not follow through on and then try to up-sell to make up for it! I am currently disputing the charges! Stay far away from this company! How they havent been closed down by the ************************ is unreal with the track record!

    They did not give me the flight I paid for and made me pay an additional $722.30 to get on the flights I chose. They would not refund me. So, I was forced to pay the $722.30 or lose my original payment of $1169.05. A huge scam!

    Soon after i was in contact with this company my bank was hacked.  I feel that they took the bank information I gave them thinking I was booking a flight.   I feel that they are not legitimate and are indeed fraudulent.

    On November 13, 2025 I have purchased a plane fare online thru Book My Air Travel. I got confirmation that I paid $503.26. Afterwards I got a phone call from the travel agency stating that my flight doesn't include any check-in luggage or guaranteed seat assignments. He said in order to include these services I have to upgrade and pay over $1,200. I said NO. I told him to just cancel my reservation he said it's already booked and can't be cancelled. We went back and forth for 45 minutes. I ended up talking to ****** a manager. He charged me $975.01 which is an upgrade to include check in baggage and seat assignments (aisle seat). Today I called *** and was advised that I paid $825.01 for basic economy which doesn't include guaranteed seat assignment. I told *** I paid $975.01 but *** said no the fare paid is $825.01. I tried contacting them but was on hold for over 30 minutes. Finally I called my credit card company to inquire and was told there are 2 charges $825.01 for *** and $150 for a third party called Fair Swing. I have since disputed the $150. This company is shady and should be investigated for unprofessional business practices that includes scamming customers for more money than what the airline is legitimately charging.

    The company is using falsified reviews. The only legit reviews are bad reviews from real people that have been scammed. They're posing as an actual air travel booking company but when you pay for your plane tickets, you get nothing.

    I purchased tickets from them, being third party. They have really bad customer service and was super tricky on the app checking out my tickets for 5 passengers. I will not pay whatsoever for this. I have screenshots for proof that it doesnt state anything about me booking for restricted economy, or that its nonrefundable. It also doesnt state that it doesnt have carry on for the tickets I bought. But I do need carry on, and they are shady! They want to make you pay extra for another ticket. I have searched on *******, a reliable app, now that I know that, I will always use Expedia. I searched on ******* and they have normal economy tickets which doesnt even cost the amount that they are telling me. Also sorry, I cannot really understand them over the phone at all. They are unprofessional and rude, I told them I am not paying for it, and they say why would I be lying, Im not lying, I can tell my supervisor or boss or something to tell you the same. Well you shouldnt tell a customer something like this when I am not lying either! I didnt see any info regarding the tickets Im getting are saver fare or that they are nonrefundable or no carry on!! Super upset and its holding me back to get new tickets. I am definitely disputing this transaction. But the annoying and frustrating part is the transaction is still pending! I mean I do not want to confirm or authorize any payment, but it cant go away if they dont just confirm and charge it. Im very speechless now, just want to settle this right away, and dispute this. I feel disgusted to know companies like this still able to work. They are shady and unprofessional. They are also hassling me with phone calls and just upgrade the tickets to show me the total is ******* more than original. I am not accepting any of this. Attached are screenshots of when Im checking out , it says nothing about what I just experienced and want a refund!!!
