Hello Dar,

Thank you for sharing this feedback. It is completely understandable that you want certainty about your luggage before your trip.

Regarding the e-ticket, airlines do not display baggage details on this specific document. Your confirmed luggage is always visible within your personal account on the BudgetAir website, and it can also be verified directly on the airline's website using your booking reference.

I will reach out to you directly regarding your booking to ensure everything is perfectly set up for your upcoming flights and to check your connection.

Kind regards
Chris

This company misleading customers and…

This company misleading customers and has poor customer service. When I was booking flights, I chose premium tickets since the option was “free change and free cancellation”. As soon as I booked the ticket I realized that it was booked for a wrong date. I contacted customer service immediately to find out that my tickets can’t be changed. To cancel tickets BudgetAir charge 2/3 of my tickets. It’s my first and last time I am booking with them. I spoke to customer representative who is in India, keep repeating over and over same thing without explaining what the premium ticket mean “free change “ and now the “condition of my ticket unable him to change it”. I decided to contact my credit card and explain why I want to cancel their charges. I hope I will get my money back. Stay away from this company and don’t believe their website promises.

Scam company

Scam company. Booked a ticket to a final destination with a short stopover. They issued ticket for first leg and then said they couldn't get the last leg and its up to me to find another way to fly to final destination. Will not issue refund for first leg. Absolutely scam company. Do not trust them at all. Buyer beware. I will get money back from AMEX but they should be shut down and not allowed to operate.

We sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience you encountered with your booking. We understand how concerning it is when a travel plan doesn't go as expected, especially with a multi-leg journey. We aim to provide clear and reliable service, and it's clear we fell short in your case. This does not justify to call us a scam company as we are not. We take all feedback serious and will help out where ever we can . Our team is available 24x7 on chat, call and email to support you. Kind regards Klara

The flight was not called, missed my flight, switching for a couple hours later but no effort by Porter or to any airline to readjust as it wasnt my fault.

Thank you for understanding.
