I booked 2 tickets on 6/20/24 and on 6/24/24, I hadn't heard anything nor received the tickets, an email, call, just nothing. Called the 24/7 customer support 12 times, leaving messages, etc then on the 13th call, I got Adam, who processed to tell me those tickets with Delta are no longer available and wanted me to buy tickets tickets from American Airline for 1100 when the other ones were 496. So, I asked why the still advertising cheaper tickets online, because they are standby tickets. Let me speck to a supervisor after asking 5 times for one, I got Roger, who proceed with the same lies, then said, the tickets were rejected because I put my birthday wrong. Lies got the screenshot for proof. So, I rebook the same tickets for 20.00 cheaper with my "right" birthday with Roger on the phone have the booking ID number, then I got an email. So, we will see and if they fix it, I'll revise this review but as of right now... it's a scam to get you to call for those false advertised prices and sale you tickets for 700.00 more. THEN SAID YOU CANT CALL THE AIRLINE... SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM TO ME!!!

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM Stay away from this site it truly is a scam. I booked a seat on an airline with them and the price should have been less than twenty dollars ...their price almost two hundred. When I complained they said if I canceled my order they would cancel my flight!!!!!!

This. Is. A. SCAM!! And reading the good reviews, I can tell they are fake. Fortunately, my bank refunded my money, but I missed my vacation because I couldn’t find a new flight at an affordable price. I see all the red flags I ignored so clearly now: constantly promising to send e-tickets, and every time they missed the deadline, I would call and be put on hold for literally hours. They would promise to call back, and never would. When I expressed my concern and frustration over the missing ticket/boarding pass, they would always say, “Oh, don’t worry about that. Saul’s working on that. You’ll get your boarding pass in time…blah blah blah.”The final straw was they claimed my flight had been canceled. I called the airline directly. The flight did exist, but it was never canceled, and they had no reservation under my name. I am still seething while ready to sob at the same time. I don’t get to vacation much ($) so to have this stolen from me was so hard.

This is a total scam do not fall for it. These people are ready to SCAM you like as if you are a dumb. The story is simple, I just made a booking from SNA to Milwaukee for a fare of $430 round trip. I haven't received any email of confirmation or booking number. Then I decided to call them. So They told me the return flight is confirmed but the rest is not. Then they tried to sell me an expensive flight. Then they told me there are cancellation fees. This is a case for any State Attorney General to take them down. These guys are brutal and arrogant. Very bad people.

This is a total scam do not fall for it. These people are ready to SCAM you like as if you are a moron. The story is simple, you make a booking for a low fare, then these guys act quick to scam you. Limited English but superior scamming skills. First, they book you on the outbound flight and it's real but they use various email addresses, they don't give you proper details or your name. Then they will try to sell you an expensive flight to return. Keep in mind they can book you on many airlines and cancel for free in 24 hours. But then they will try to tell you your return flight is not available and they will try to haggle you on prices that are 2-3 times or higher what you have confirmed. Then they will tell you there are cancellation fees. This is a case for any State Attorney General to take them down but they come up like mushrooms. These guys are brutal. However, the scheme falls apart once you are not willing to buy the expensive ticket they have to offer you as an exchange to the fact they can't get you a return flight. Pick up the phone and call consumer affairs at the Attorney General of your state. Don't let then haggle you for the hight price, laugh at them and tell them. You bought a roundtrip ticket not one way ticket. They will be forced to give you your money back. It's illegal for them to engage in this practice. That's why they are not dumb, they will cancel the flight if you don't pay a more expensive return flight. It's all a GAME!

FAA needs to shut down these morons. Word to the wise if you were sucked in by their bait and switch airfare scam ignore all communications and dispute any charges that they managed to put on your card UNLESS you received your ticket(s) from the actual airline but I would bet 100% of the time no tickets come at the "confirmed" price. Also closely monitor your CC for micro or similar phantom charges and dispute those too or else cancel your card. Be safe out there folks

I just had an extremely disappointing experience with FareBuddies while trying to book a flight. I felt compelled to share my experience with others to prevent them from going through the same ordeal. Firstly, when I called to follow up on an infant bassinet for my flight, I was met with the utmost rudeness from the so-called "travel agent." Instead of providing assistance, she shamefully berated me for booking a flight on short notice, which was entirely uncalled for. To make matters worse, the agent claimed that the airline had a 104-person waitlist and insisted that I had purchased a standby ticket. This information was completely false, and it left me feeling deceived and frustrated. What shocked me the most was the abysmal customer support I received. The agent not only provided inaccurate information but also had the audacity to hang up on me when I questioned her about the situation. This type of behavior is simply unacceptable and reflects poorly on FareBuddies as a whole. Based on my experience, I strongly advise against using FareBuddies for any travel bookings. Their poor customer support, coupled with misleading and rude behavior, demonstrates a lack of professionalism and integrity. There are plenty of other reputable travel agencies out there that prioritize customer satisfaction and provide reliable assistance. Spare yourself the frustration and book directly!

Complete scam they charge me an extra $300 for nothing. They charge my credit card 2xs. They told me that I was speaking to jet blue. Complete lie. Don’t trust them.
