The WORST. Exploits vulnerable customers. AVOID

The WORST experience i have ever had. Booked the tickets through budget air. They didn't even send me my booking number for the second flight (number they sent WASN'T even the right one). I tried finding ways to contact them but there is NO HELP and no way to contact them directly!!! Due to this, we were unable to check in online, and had to rely on the airport check in service. First flight, fine. Second one we were denied entry due to not checking in - in time. So they let vulnerable autistic customers get stranded hundreds miles away, with no help or ways to contact them. I also suffer with social anxiety and have seizure type issues due to an eating disorder, now stuck in a hot country with hardly anything. this is a disgusting way to treat people. I will be taking this further if this isn't resolved.

There was a mismatch between the flights dates entered in Google vs what showed up on the website resulting in me being charged 77 CAD even after cancelling within 30 min.

Hello Jacob,

Thank you for leaving a review.

Canceling a booking shortly after making it and seeing a $210 service fee is definitely not the smooth experience expected. Looking into the booking details and checking how to help is the priority right now.

An email has been sent to request the booking reference number so this case can be reviewed and handled further offline.

Kind regards,

We purchased an itinerary of flights…

We purchased an itinerary of flights from the UK to Sri Lanka and returning 2 weeks later. These were purchased in March 2026. In June 2026, Budget Air contacted us to tell us that there were changes to the schedule and we had 24 hours to accept the alternative flights, which we did. It turned out that the new itinerary was not flyable and it left us stranded in an Indian airport. We had to purchase new flights at our own expense. Budget Air customer service has at best been incompetent but mainly, obstructive, unhelpful and uncaring as to our situation. I would NOT use this company!

Hello Tamra,

Thank you for sharing this review. Being stranded at an airport during a trip is a difficult situation, especially when forced to purchase new flights out of pocket.

Airline schedule changes can occur, and managing these updates smoothly is essential. Providing clear options and reliable support during travel disruptions is always the goal, and taking a closer look into how this itinerary was handled is a priority.

A request for information will be sent directly to gather the booking details. Replying to that message with the booking reference and expense receipts will allow a full review of the case to see how to assist further.

Kind regards,
Mark | Customer Service

User friendly site

User friendly site. Well balanced with multi-company trips. Actually lowest prices are related to the trip with no or just small hand bag. This always confuse customer.

NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, USE BUDGETAIR.

Dear world,

NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, USE BUDGETAIR.

These scammers are now holding my refund hostage unless I “withdraw my chargeback claim” . Yes, you read that right. They want me to cancel the very protection my bank gave me, send them an “official withdrawal letter”, and hand over a “bank statement showing the “rebilling” all before they even “pretend” to process my refund.

Let me be crystal clear: I have been fighting for MY money since JUNE 2026. It is now 28th AUGUST, and they still haven't paid me a single cent. They are playing games, stalling, and trying to bully customers into giving up their legal rights on nothing but a lie.

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. If BudgetAir pulls this stunt on you, call your bank immediately and know your rights. NEVER withdraw a chargeback based on a verbal promise. These thieves will take your proof and ghost you.

SAVE YOURSELF THE NIGHTMARE. BOYCOTT BUDGETAIR. TELL EVERYONE.

Hello Sam,

We understand the concern regarding the delayed refund.

Although we are actively trying to process your refund, the active chargeback you initiated has locked the transaction, preventing us from proceeding. To allow us to review and handle your refund safely, please update or withdraw the dispute with your bank so that account access is restored. Our team will reach out to you directly to guide you through the next steps.

Kind regards,
Leo
