AI Highlights
  • - Bait pricing exists.
  • - They disparage Spirit to push costly options and call it a scam.
  • - There was a fake itinerary and a charge listed as American.

This is a bait and switch company they list low prices to attract you when you pay and purchase they try to up sale you and talk bad about Spirit airlines to make you pay for higher service with Southwest Airlines. If you argue they get confrontational and say they will blacklist you and keep your money and cancel your reservation .

I booked a flight they gave me a fake intenary with spirit and credit card charge says American Airlines. The company is out of Miami when I call they can't find my purchase.

I've disputed charges I pray my bank get my money back. PLEASE do not waste your time with Best Fare Ticket TOTAL SCAM

User's recommendation: DO NOT USE THIS fake company

Do NOT book with Bestfares.com

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Tried booking Hawaii package with Bestfares.com; card declines.
  • - 15 pending transactions appeared, price rose $200/person, credits issued later.

I attempted to book a vacation package to Hawaii with Bestfares.com but kept getting advised that my credit card could not accept. Called credit card company and was assured no hold on card.

Tried numerous times myself online using 2 different cards with no success. Called then to do it on the phone and had same issue. Was told that as long as I could not book, it would not appear on my credit card statement. Also assured credits would be issued when I said I was concerned about that.

Checked credit card online and saw 15 pending transactions!!! Called Bestfares again and had to leave a message this time. When she called back! She said the price had gone up $200/per person and I said to just cancel everything and please make sure I have not been charged.

I went out to an appointment and my husband was home when a call from a third party vendor called to ask if all was settled. My husband thought all was settled and he did not have the credit card info so I received an email from that third party who stated I should call a specific number and they would handle the credits. To make a VERY long story short, it took 2 days, numerous phone calls where I had been put on hold for at least 15-20 minutes each time and would then get disconnected and in the meantime, I booked through Travelocity which took 2 minutes and was very reasonable. I received other emails from this third party and finally this morning (the 4th day this has been going on) we had a 3 way conversation with the third party and my bank and I finally received the credits.

BESTFARES was awful during this process and I believe it was their website that caused all if this. Will NEVER EVER use them again!!!

Reason of review:
Not as described/ advertised

Preferred solution: Get website fixed and improve customer service!!!

Overcharge me 72.00 for nothing

AI Highlights
  • - I bought 3 one-way tickets for my daughter and grandkids.
  • - I paid 498.30; JetBlue charged 426.30, plus 72.
  • - As of Oct 23, price is 336.00.

I bought 3 one way tickets for my Daughter and Grand twins, I was in a hurry, because all the tickets are too expensive in Christmas, but hey is the 25 of December, mostly the cheapest. When I realized that I hit the button and bough them for 498.30 and Jet Blue charge them 426.30, the price was another, $72.00 just to get 3 tickets that today October 23 I could get those for 336.00, "Errors have to be paid with MONEY", beware, look search, don't get caught by this thief's of Airlines "Best Fares"
