FarebubbleReviews of farebubble.com

BEWARE! I just got trapped an hour ago. Be aware that the 1-star reviews here are correct and right on-spot, and the good ones are as fake as the tickets they pretend to sell. They practice bait-and-switch transactions; my tickets had a 56% increase from the original price once they contacted me (they do not answer the phone number they provide). In the meantime, they have collected personal information, including children's names and birth dates. I am sharing more detali because TrustPilot threaten to remove my review of BubbleFare if I do not. So below, I am sharing a letter I sent to Momondo.com where Farebubble advertises prices that are not real/available: Sent to Momondo on Tue 7/25/2023 12:28 PM: Thank you, Esther, for responding. I have been using Momondo for the past few years, and my experience has been flawless. However, Momondo recently started advertising prices from questionable companies. I am convinced that I didn’t experience an unplanned price increase yesterday. To demonstrate that FareBubble engages in bait-and-switch strategies (which is illegal in the US), Momondo staff can look at any flights published by FareBubble on Momondo.com from San Francisco to Barcelona, in the first two weeks of August 2023, make a note of the price, then go to www-FareBubble-com and observe that those flights are not available or are available at a much higher cost. As for the phone number, please try to call +1 888 669 0207; you may get fortunate if anyone pick-up the phone, which is very uncomfortable after you provide your credit card number and other personal information. Finally, sharing unredacted emails with FareBubble is difficult because they contain information about my children. If you want to improve Momondo experience, I can find a way of redacting them and sending them to you. Regards, Benjamin.

What a scam. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. There's no liability on their end and they will have your seats given away last moment and not let you know until you demand answers. Then they will not take any accountability and put them blame on you. Even if you can actually get yourself booked and on a flight, there's absolutely no guarantee you will be able to come back when expected. Our info looked fine on Delta's website, but I recommend calling them to double check any flights made through a 3rd party. We are still waiting for our refund 20 business days later (5 weeks later) claiming that Kenya Airways (3rd, 4th, 5th? party) has gone bankrupt and that we should dispute the charge if we want our money back soon. Kenya Airways is indeed NOT bankrupt. I will keep calling this company until I get my money back. DONT BOOK THROUGH THEM.

First, they did a bait and switch on the ticket we wanted. Then, I went to check in to the flight and it gave me an error. I called at 8AM and they claimed the flight was overbooked and would work on it and call me back in 2 hours. After 8 hours, I called them and they said the flight was cancelled and will refund my money in 21 days. The flight was not cancelled as I was able to book the same flight separate from them. I assume they were able to cancel my reservation and make more money on another reservation. Worst customer experience perhaps in my life.

The price on the website isn't confirmed, and for some reason, they require talking to you on the phone to get anything done. They left a voicemail, but the person on the voicemail had an accent, the call quality was horrible, and their phone system dropped out so I have no idea what they said. I called back and had to wait on hold for a while. I have limited minutes, so I had to borrow someone else's phone. Then the call quality had similar issues when I called. They said my price had increased 45% compared to what I was quoted. Why couldn't they just have charged me when I made the order? Why must things be handled on the phone? If it's a website, everything should be handled on the website and quoted prices should be honored. I ended up cancelling my order and will monitor prices looking for a better deal in the coming days on another website instead. Even if you get the deal you want with this site, I don't think it's worth the risk of losing a good deal because you have to wait for a phone call as the prices increase. Try to find a similar deal elsewhere instead, even if it's a little more.

Classic bait and switch. You book a fare, the next day they call you saying the flight is fully booked, then offer you a completely different flight - in my case they offered to get me one with 1 stop and the red eye, instead of a non-stop fare as was advertised. They had the audacity to tell me the flight I wanted was $5,000 now, lol!

This is a scam, and please be assured that you will lose your money. My advice is to pay the normal price, there is no random cheap pricing on flights.

a) Initially I tried to buy a ticket FareBubble advertised on major travel-search portals. b) They could not honor the advertised fare. Even after 2 days of booking, no tickets ever arrived. I then spoke with them on phone and an agent offered a different, higher-priced fare. c) I agreed, and they really delivered the ticket after 2 days. Recent issue. Past 2 days I have been trying to reach anyone (thru multiple emails, several voice mails and text messages). Airlines changed the scheduled flight and asked me to contact selling travel agent to change to a different flight. Travel date in next 2 days, and I am desperate. I don't even know if the company is still in business. Airlines provided me a contact number that is registered with Delta; that number goes to a different company. That company complete dis-owned this ticket. I am at a dead-end now. DO NOT BUY from this company. I will never, in the future.

Fare obtained from Momondo. $200 less than everyone else. I book. Once you hit the submit button, every other site would give you a confirmation code. Not here. You get a page telling you you'll be confirmed within 48 hours. Well, 24 hours later I get an e-mail telling me the fare changed. I return call to voicemail--3 different times. The next e-mail does not acknowledge my call or voicemail, but is a veiled threat of losing airfare. I request a full refund. Next e-mail (36 hour process) guarantees refund.
