I had purchased a ticket and did not receive a confirmation. I called to speak with someone with Fatecorner and was told there are no seats in the original cabin I will need to pay $150 more for the main cabin. How was I going to know if I didn’t contact them. Very strange, and I’m still not feeling too comfortable with the purchase I made. Still waiting for that confirmation.

This is the first time I have used Farecorner. I was hesitant because of some negative reviews I had read. I was surprised when I received notice that I needed to call them to confirm the charge for the air ticket. I replied and confirmed that they could charge the air ticket and they did; however, there was an additional charge of $92 for processing the ticket that I was NOT told about. This brought the cost of the ticket up to the same price I would have paid through another online site or directly through an airlines website. After I received the confirmation for the flight, I went on the airline website and found that I did NOT have a seat assignment. I'm glad I checked because the flights were nearly full; however, at the same time, I was not allowed to pay for an upgrade to better seats. I was locked into economy class only, even though I was willing to pay for an upgrade.

It was disappointing when I found that the flight reservation I made was not available after I completed the process. The representative Wilson explained that the economy seats I reserved are not available but only the seats in main cabin. He was polite and professional. He answered all my questions with patience. He was very helpful and helped me to confirm seats in the main cabin in a timely manner. Even though I paid 400 something more dollars than the initial expected amount, the total amount is much cheaper than what I would have paid if I go through the official delta website. So I’m satisfied.

I was disappointed at the fact that we ended paying over $100 more than the posted price for each of our tickets. It ended up costing us an extra $250. They need to do a better job of posting an accurate price. I feel like we were misled in order to get the sale. Not sure I would recommend this site to anyone I know.

I wrote a recent review that was poor for Farecorner, however, they have since gotten my tickets handled at a price cheaper than other travel websites. I gave them 3 stars because the response time has been stressful over the past week, and the website did not reflect accurate pricing or the pricing that appeared when my tickets were "pending" the day before, but I am glad I was able to get the flights I wanted for the Thanksgiving holiday at a good price.

Like many of the other reviews I read about this booking site, I was worried at first that I was being scammed for a few reasons. One, after I gave my credit card info to purchase the tickets, I realized their website is not secure. Two, I received a booking in progress email but not the usual reservation confirmation email that comes immediately after booking through a third party website. Three, when I tried to call the customer service number the call kept failing. When I did finally reach someone, they told me I would need to pay an additional $75 per passenger. The main reason I kept the faith was because I kept checking my credit card account and no charges were yet made. Finally, after 6 days after making the original booking through farecorner.com, I received a reservation confirmation from the actual airline and it was at that time that the charges went through on my credit card. All in all, I'm glad I got tickets that were significantly less money than other booking sites were offering.
