I was flying to Mexico for a wedding during the pandemic. Farebarber got me cheaper flight as compared to other websites. The customer representative also helped me and my husband to get comfort plus as my husband is tall and needed more legroom. Farebarber also gave me information about booking through the pandemic and the airlines refund policy. They also didn't charge me until my ticket was finalized. I highly recommend Farebarber.

This Company is a SCAM don't BOOK!
Rebuttal: When I called you originally my concern was that you charged me more than the Ticket was worth and you argued with me stating that it was the lowest available, when obviously it was not, you charged me $198 in fees the Ticket itself was a total of $201.20 so explain the difference by charging me $398, this was not at your cost, even the airline was weary of your ethics and business practices, this is fraud if you're using another's ARC# again, there have been cases filed with the BBB and the ARC, I will never use a fly by night agency like this any longer I will stick to using the Airlines, it's not worth the hassles or the unethical business practices.
There have been quite a few negative reviews I wish I would of read them further it's not the first time you've ripped consumers off!
-------------------------------------------------------------
When I originally booked with this group for a lower rate in October, I received an email with the information but no confirmation flight, so I waited a few days for the confirmation, I called they mentioned they didn't have that airfare price any longer but they can give me a better Airline for their cost, well fast forward I found out that the Airline Cost was much lower than what I paid. I contacted the rep he continually said well I agreed to the price no refunds you probably didn't see the entire ticket which I had and sent it to them as proof and I would say this is definitely unethical. I was supposed to be leaving in a couple of days, unfortunately I've been exposed to COVID19 had to cancel, the same Airline said they can cancel for me but I should look in to why they charged me so much more, even with their supposedly $26-$30 booking fees it was $198 more on top of my fare. I contacted the Airlines Reporting Corporation because the rep wouldn't give me their address come to find out this company is run through an ARC# for Gateway Travel & Cruises and it's fraud it was a bait and switch not only with the initial booking but also with the company I thought I was dealing with the agent mentioned that this was fraud, so if you've used this company please contact the reporting agency like I did and file a BBB complaint they have quite a few, they're located in Colorado. FareBarber threatened to cancel my trip when I first complained if I left a bad review and if I reported them to the BBB, they said we'll cancel your trip and you won't get your money back or have tickets! This company is a SCAM!

Thank you for your feedback
@Gypsy GirlForever at first we deeply regret that you are exposed with COVID -19 and we hope you are recovering from the illness, with reference to your reservation with us we have provided you the cheaper fare than the market price and we have done the needful. We provided you tickets based upon your confirmation / permission only and you gave us your permission to book the tickets, you were also informed that tickets are non refundable and you agreed to it. Now few days before the flight you came to us stating that you cannot travel and want to cancel ( which you already knew that tickets are non refundable and cannot be cancelled ), now we made the reservation at the cheaper fare than the market price and you should understand that when tickets are booked for cheaper fare than the airlines price then these tickets are non refundable in travel industry ( general rule for all tickets booked at cheaper fare ), we understand you did not get the refund ( because you were aware about it beforehand that tickets are non refundable) and that is the reason why the frustration is obvious but not at all genuine which we understand ,thousands of passengers who do not fly or no show they request for refund but you have to be aware of the policies of the airlines. Furthermore you never provided the medical certificate or supporting documents proving that you have Covid -19 (we can understand it is real and pandemic has affected) but to check with the airlines for refund, you did not provide us with supporting documents to check for refund. On the recorded call (we have the proof) you initially said you want to cancel and after speaking to the one of our supervisor you said do not cancel the reservation. So you were never clear in your conversation in the first place and instead you did whole research which is completely out of context and has no correlation with the topic of refund. It does not matter really if it is online travel agency or airlines if you would have been clear with refund and provided the necessary documents to back up your case we could have genuinely supported you in getting refund.We understand that you wrote in such a length stating that it is a scam but thousands of passenger have already flown and they are happy , if you need proof of thousands of passenger who call us not only the reputed company but also praised us for giving up to 50%-60% discount and even more. Still we welcome you for using our services and i hope that next time when you book anywhere, you do not provide wrong information , be clear in your conversation and provide supporting documents to get refund .Your reservation is already cancelled by yourself and we hope you recover soon from the illness.

Jenny helped me accomplish my goal
Jenny helped me accomplish my goal. I paid a little bit more but she was honest in telling me the return flight I had booked was unavailable.
followed up with me and made sure I had all my questions answered.

Aaron fue de gran ayudan y contesto las preguntas y dudas que tenia. Teniamos comunicacion constantemente durante todo el processo. Su servicio fue excelente y mi esposo y yo estamos mas que contentos con esta compania.

Horrible company that doesn’t know what…
Horrible company that doesn’t know what the hell they are doing. I most definitely think these are all fake reviews, booked a trip and called two mins later & was sent to voicemail & plus when I finally got someone on the line, tickets were no longer available. They were trying to charge me $400 each for my boyfriend and I. Absolutely not. THIS IS A SCAM!!!! DO NOT BOOK
