SCAM Alert.. sells low fare.. then throws you on a wait-list and doesn't allow for cancellation. Then sends you to an Indian call center to try to upsell you a 'guaranteed' seat. Ridiculous. Run the heck away!!

I wrote a review earlier , just wanted to add this contact the LC3.gov. this company is a scam and fake rip off .

They are awful! They take your money and then they say the airline doesn't have the ticket with the price you paid for and they ask for more money to get you a seat. The put you in a situation that you have no other choice. Will NEVER book with them again. I am on a call with them now and God knows where we end up with them!!

HORRIBLE!!! FAKE!!! SCAM!!! They wheel you in with cheap tickets, then send you a confirmation email saying booking not yet confirmed but wait for a phone call, then they call you and try to upsell you so there is no discount. Move your date, upgrade to the “main” cabinet, change your destination, ect, then take your fair times 2. When I tried to cancel the whole thing realizing this was a scam they put me on hold charge my CC the full amount and say they cancelled and my de for cancelling (in 30 minutes) is the full cost of the plane tickets!!! Luckily I have fraud protection and will be reporting them to BBB!!! SAVE YOURSELF - STAY AWAY FROM FAIR BUDDIES!!!

scam for sure, dont book here

Scam site - "booked" a flight and of course the flight was non existent - they had my credit card info so I IMMEDIATELY cancelled that card and was told by the credit card fraud rep that they had tried 2 unauthorized purchases on my deactivated card ... the first one was within minutes of my "booking" transaction trying to link my CC account to a Microsoft Store account which wasn't mine .... you WILL NOT get your flight from this fraudulent site.

I urge everyone to victims to Report to Ic3.gov and your bank immediately

Booked a flight and then told my flight out was only standby and I would have to pay hundred's more. Nothing on the website or proof of payment said anything about my flight not being confirmed. This is clearly a bate and switch. It is fraud.
