Using Fear, to Get You To Upgrade.
Avoid Cheap Vuelos! I strongly recommend reading previous reviews before booking with Cheap Vuelos. Like others, I didn’t receive a confirmation number after several minutes of booking. I later found out that they never actually made the reservation or charged my card—something I confirmed with the airline directly. There was also no boarding pass, since they don’t issue them. The boarding passes come from the airlines, but without a ticket, there’s no pass. I verified all of this with both the airline and my credit card company. What Cheap Vuelos seems to be doing is upselling through fear tactics. They try to pressure customers into upgrading by claiming you won’t get an online boarding pass unless you pay for the upgrade, but the truth is, you don’t even have a ticket yet! They haven’t purchased one for you. When you call them, after your get the email that says "please call", they’ll try to sell more expensive upgrades than what the airline offers directly. They lure you in with "cheap flights" but then use fear to get you to book something that ends up costing more, especially when they say things like arriving 4-5 hours before your flight—an airport requirement that doesn’t exist for airlines. The fine print is designed to confuse and manipulate. They use fear to make you think you’ll miss your flight if you don’t upgrade for things like luggage or a boarding pass, but in reality, they haven’t even secured your ticket yet. I would not recommend this company. They’re dishonest, and you risk showing up at the airport without a ticket altogether.
