I didn't get my ticket. It is very annoying to see ticket confirmation will be shared in 4 days. Totally disappointed. Edit on 4/24 - I got tickets in a day after booking. Prompt response to review i... See more

I found the process of booking my flights through budget air very easy. I was able to see several airlines at one time and choose the one that worked for me. I found that very convenient. My trip... See more

The ticket for the round trip booking ended up being two one way tickets which is fine; however, the traveler profile (especially Frequent Flyer number) was not carried over to both tickets. This... See more

I booked a round trip flight with 1 personal item and 1 checked bag for the entire round trip. They charged me for the checked in bag but only included it on my inbound flight, not my outbound flight. Needed this corrected ASAP. Not resolved.

I was a bit surprised that when I was choosing my seat I had to pay a minimum of $49. I don’t know if that was from the airline or Budget, it just ended up I had to go over the amount I thought I was going to pay.

Stay far away from this agency

Do not choose them! Stay away! Customer service is terrible and they work against you, not with you. Pay the extra cost of a flight to avoid any mishaps with this horrible travel agency.

Giant headache

It was an okay experience. Tried to add the flights they booked to my account and was told I could not be found on the flight more than 24 hours after booking with them

Cancelled ticket not refunded

I booked round trip from Raleigh to Newyork. My return flight was with Spiritz airlines and was cancelled. But budget air should have not accepted booking if the airlines is in trouble. On top of that I got a mail to confirm cancellation. That mail was very vague. There was no mention of any ticket number, from and to destination. That mail looked like a spam and generic mail.

You canceled my flights and I’m not able to get ahold of anyone regarding a refund. This cancellation cost my money as I will miss my connecting flight and now a great inconvenience as I have to take a 12 hour bus ride in dangerous conditions!
