How this company uses Trustpilot
See how their reviews and ratings are sourced, scored, and moderated.
Prices listed on e.g. skyscanner are click bait. Once you get to their homepage prices are higher. Avoid!
They don’t even deserve a 1-star rating! Refund hit the account after many, months and then they took it out again within a matter of hours £1700 - vanished….They are complete crooks. The Airline never even got paid by them. Looking into small claims court to try to claw the funds back. How they even remain in business astounds me!
Bad experience
An error occurred while making a reservation, so I did not receive a reservation number and the money was withdrawn from my account. I contact them via messenger, but they don't answer. I did not receive any confirmation emails with over 1000 euros prepaid.
This company is fraud. They sold me a ticket at £378. Couple of hours later exact same ticket is being sold at £225. No customer service to speak to, extremely unhelpful chat customer service. You can not speak to customer services. Reviews here say alot but they are still functioning. I had same experience a year ago but made a grave mistake of going with them again. They have to be reported to regulators
Too many hidden extra costs that are not avoidable. It is riddled with false information.
De är endast chatta som gäller. De är en mardröm du sitter i minst 5 timmar i en chatt och låser sig din hemskärm går du ur kön. Har fått betala flera tusen i ny biljett, hotel , transport och mat då jag är fast i min mellanlandningar i Istanbul pågrund utav att mitt flyg till Stockholm är canceled för dåligt värder. De kastar runt mig och får knappt ens svar och ingen som helst hjälp. Tills nu är jag fast i Istanbul i 48 timmar utan någon hjälp de är FARLIGT att boka med budgetair. I have had to go to Istanbul from Beirut because the company said that I should try to catch my luggage at 40 and check in for another flight. I arrived 22 / 1-22 at 7.50 and the flight from Istanbul to Stockholm leaves at 8.30. I'm stressed, lose a bag and do not have time to fly. The airline budgetair.se sends me with the next flight the next day at the same time. I am stressed, not sleeping and eating. I had to sit for hours and then book a hotel. Today 23 / 1-22 at 6.30 I am back at the airport when I booked a hotel at the airport they are close. When I try to check in, they say that I am not on the list as air travelers, but that I show confirmation I received in the email. Now I'm back at the hotel without any help from anything and without any now ticket. I'm sitting in a 51 minute chat queue with the company as they are their only support and waiting to get an answer. Please help me this is not fair or humane.
Worst effin customer experience of my life.
Buy a ticket through this website and pray to Zeus there won't be any flight changes or cancellations after cause BudgetAir's shiiiiiiitty support sure as hell won't help you.
Dude just basically told me to f off and disconnected from the chat. I've waited for almost an hour to even get connected to anyone. What a meme

Do not use Budget Air 😡 I booked a flight with wizzair through budget air ,I also booked a flight directly with wizzair .wizzair cancelled my flight, ,money was returned within 1 week,but the flight I booked through budget air has not returned my refund this is about 4 months ago every time you contact them they say they will pass the details on ...Just look at the reviews says it all .
A lot of crap to go through, then at the end the price changes and then the payment doesnt even go through and you have to start over again! Useless!
DO NOT use BudgetAir.
I paid £1,200 for flights as SkyScanner directed me to their BudgetAir's website. They took my money, but I never received my flights/booking confirmation or anything.
BudgetAir are impossible to contact.
It's been 2 weeks, but thankfully my bank will refund the money, but I still don't have the money or the tickets.
So no money, no holiday, just a lot of stress, wasted time. Shambles.
I booked flight Hamburg-Ljubljana and return at BudgetAir.dk with LOT (Polish Airlines).
Polish Airlines cancelled my return flight, and gave us a other flight home a day later.
We could not use that, and demanded a refund from BudgetAir.
BudgetAir refuse to refund as it is a budget ticket, even it is not us that changed the flight!
DO NEVER USE BUDGETAIR, YOU MONEY CAN BE WAISTED!!!!!!
Trash and useless company. Got wrong information about the seats in airplane, so we tried to book without taking any seats and the reservation was still canceled. It takes 5-10 Business Days for the support line to reply
Dears,
Is knowledge that the return ticket does not appear on your website. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that, your chat, does not address my question regarding the return date of my flight that does not appear on your website. How should I proceed, since, in the chat, nothing appears with the date of my flight's return and I don't even know if the return date has been canceled. It is useless to answer me by e-mail saying that it has to be by chat because the chat does not have the option of knowing about my return date.
My reserve BUK-17121879
Minha passagem de retorno não aparece mais no site, cada vez que mando e-mail para a empresa, a mesma me informa ir no chat, mas o chat deles é digital e não resolve meu problema, não tem nem a opção se minha passagem foi cancelada ou não.
Preciso do retorno da empresa para eu poder remarcar a minha passagem, pois acredito que a data de retorno tenha sido cancelada pela Gol, mas não tenho nenhum acesso deste informação e muito menos de como mudar a data.
I purchased a one way ticket from Baia Mare to Bucharest, it wasn't expensive and i was only trying to save a couple of euros which i regret now.
My flight date was in May 2020 and the flight got canceled by the airline in April, before 1 month of the flight, since then i am receiving silly emails from budget air that i should bear with them , and they doing their best.... bla bla bla
What shocked me this week that i contacted Tarom ( my ticket issuer ) and they stated that the refund happened in May itself.
Maaaaan.... how could you lie to your customers like this....
No customer service phone number, that chat service is with a robot. No reply for any emails.
I advise all of you to pay some extra cash and book directly with the airlines.
Awful customer service. Have not had a phone number available since the Covid situation started last year. I booked a flight with Air Canada through them. Air Canada will offer vouchers which are timeless, but as I booked through an agent, the agent needs to apply for them on my behalf. However, since last year, I have not been able to phone Budget Air and they have not answered my emails. Awful, company, for your own sake, I would advise you to avoid them at all costs!
I have waited now, approaching one whole year (March 2021) to get a refund for flight that I purchased through this company. Just prior to our trip to Mauritius, the flight was cancelled by Air Mauritius / Air France. Continual promises have been made on a reglular basis by the company that they are doing all they can to get my refund.
But that is all I get - standard e-mails claiming they are working so hard. As soon as I stop sending e-mails to them, they stop sending information to me, despite promises to the opposite.
The service is therefore in my opinion useless. They only send information (useless information mind you) if I complain - otherwise nothing.
I will never ever buy a ticket through this company again.
I had to worst experience in my life with them.
I have never ever been so humiliated and lied by a company.
Been trying to get my money back since MARCH 2020, since the Airline Company cancelled my tickets.
Their agents are giving me different information regarding my booking: some of them are saying that I have to wait 6 weeks to get my refund from their refund department, that they've got my money but need to sort things out, some of BudgetAir agents are saying that the Airline Company still has to give them my money.
In the meantime, the Airline Company is repeating the same information to me, that they've processed my refund on the 22nd of October.
Basically, BudgetAir has my money and doesn't want to give it back to me and is dragging my refund by giving me 6-8weeks to wait every week I call, they don't even bother to change the timeframe.
Stay away from them, they owe me more than 2000euro in total for 2 bookings that I made with them
Took 7 months to get 14,000 dkk back for my flight tickets to Australia. I emailed 3 times, called the airline (Qatar Air, not their fault) who said that I can easily get a refund but budgetair.dk never requested one. Started a charge back (indsigelse) through nordea and got the money within one week. This company will try to steal your money, just look at all of the other reviews...
