To echo all the other reviews, this company is a complete scam. It seems like you're getting a great rate to fly, but you never get a boarding pass. They just take your money. The fact they haven't been shut down is a reflection on getting rid of regulations. Apparently, it's back to the wild west where scammers can sell snake oil to cure your cancer.

I booked a roundtrip from Dallas to Philadelphia on 01-17-25 for travel on 01-24-25 with a return on 02-07-25. After looking their booking screen over from top to bottom, there was nothing seen that raised concerns, so I booked and paid in full for the roundtrip airfare. Instead of receiving a confirmation for the ticket, instead Bestticketfare.com reflected a notification of "Your Booking is in Progress", along with a booking ID. I watched the notification for about 30 minutes to see if it would change to "Booking Confirmed". It did not! I called the 800 number to ask why that was. These cheats use a "bait and switch" approach by first telling you the ticket is greatly discounted and as such, the traveler is basically considered a "standby", meaning you do not have a confirmed flight, you do not receive an e-ticket, and you do not receive a boarding pass. They tell you that you will receive your e-ticket by email 24 hours before the flight to print and take with you to the airport, but no boarding pass is issued. They then tell you that your booking is subject to availability of seats on your flight ... on the day of the flight!!! They do their best to try and make you feel this is "normal", which it is anything but! They then attempt to upsell you to a higher priced ticket in order to receive a confirmation, e-ticket and boarding pass. These upsell options always involve lengthy, multi-hour layovers in connecting cities and they try to get you to agree to changes in flight date and times as well. They tell you the ticket you've already purchased is non-cancellable and the money sent to them will not be refunded, even though I called them 30 minutes after "booking" the flight through their site. These people are the biggest scammers on earth! AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS ... YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THEIR "SERVICE" ... PLUS GET RIPPED OFF IN THE PROCESS.

This is scam. I had bought airline tickets in August 2024 but didn't get a confirmation called and they told me that is since it is heaving discounted I will be on standby. Gave me the option to buy the full price. I wasn't prepared to do that so I called the credit card company and cancelled my card so the charge did not go through.

This company is a scam. I made a reservation yesterday(9/1/24) to fly from Oakland to Destin (VPS) Florida. They quote me for $314 round trip. I didn't see any charges on my credit card so I called them, the person said that it would take a few hours to show up on my credit card. 9/2/24 no charges yet, I called them again today. After being on the phone talking to a supervisor, I asked to cancel my reservation she said I couldn't but she could give me credit which I did not want a credit. I couldn't take a carryon, or anything else with me, so I agreed to bump my ticket up so I could take my carryon ($496.98). This time I got charged $409.46 for my Southwest flight and got charged $87.52 for them. They never told me that they were working on my behalf. They are a scam, no one should do business with this company. I just checked with southwest and everything is fine now, but I did learn my lesson. Check the reviews before going with a company that you. are not familiar with.

SCAM These reviews on this site have to be an error. The site in question (bestticketfare) have got to be paying people to write good reviews. Perfect example of a SCAM right here. You pay, then they call and there are restrictions. They are unreliable, like southwest... no baggage what so ever. To add 1 bag they tried to charge 150.00 more. So in total 279 for the flight. Same flight with 2 free check ins was only 179 through southwest and other sites. Just don't bother, everything is non refundable. I speak English and Spanish... and nobody knew either!

Scam. Scam. Give you a ticket price then say it’s not available or was a promotional ticket. Then will fix it for $500 + more. I even had tickets and a confirmation number at United, but tickets could only be confirmed by them! Which of coarse would cost more than United was selling the seats for!
