Booking process was straight forward. Prices were good. Everything was straightforward except when it came to checking in online with the airline. The budget air site had a link that did not work.... See more

Showing that there’s bag during the booking process, that’s why I’m booking with Budget air, and at the end…. No bags at all. Very bad.

Never take the car rental with Budget air! We paid for the rental and they never give us the car! We reserved a car 1 month before our trip to Portugal and when we got there, they ask for 2 credit card of the driver. In the confirmation, they say that one card will be ask at the desk and they ask for 2. They said that the car that we choosed needed 2 cards (not in my contract!). The 2 youngs guys at the desk did not want us to get the car. With 3 youngs kids and the jetlag, we did not needed this. We had to go to Eurocar, just in front of them to rent a car. They dont even want to pay us back. I need to take legal action, this is so stupid.
We bought for more than 7000$ in plane tickets for our family of 5 with them. We paid 1300$ in car rental and we needed to go rent a car last minute for 3000$ at Eurocar.
Simply unacceptable.

Momondo redirected me to BudgetAir, which got me the last minute airline tickets at the price advertised. I got spooked when I received an email that said my PNR+E_tickets will be arriving in next 96 hours. But they managed to send it in one hour of booking. I am happy and totally trustworthy.

I was ripped off by fake agency member on WhatsApp. From
What was supposed to just be a quote turned into booked flight with incorrect dates. Budget air would not offer any kind of cancellation even though I called them the same day.

The booking process was smooth. The pricing was competitive. All the relevant information related to the flights were provided. No hidden fees or requirements. The eTickets were emailed almost immediately even though provision for up to 4 days was stated.

+ very easy to use, very quick confirmation. unbeatbale price.
- Conditions for changing and cancelation not clear and obvious enough.
--- MAJOR ISSUE: Absence of a 24-hr cancellation policy, which I believe to be legally mandatory both in the US and Europe.

One of the worst ticketing websites I have ever dealt with.
I understand that some bookings are non-refundable if the customer voluntarily cancels the flight. However, this was not a customer cancellation. The airline cancelled the flight due to the war situation in the Middle East and had already processed the refund to Budgetair.
After more than two months of constant follow-ups, Budgetair finally confirmed that my refund would be processed within 10 business days. It has now been 30 business days, and I still have not received my money.
The lack of transparency, poor communication, and failure to honor their own commitment is completely unacceptable. Customers should not have to chase their own money for months after the airline has already refunded the ticket.
I would strongly advise others to think twice before booking through Budgetair unless they are prepared to deal with extremely poor customer service and unnecessary delays in receiving legitimate refunds. Further to this review, this is a message from the airline confirming that the schedule was disrupted and flights were cancelled. The renewed or updated flight tickets were not shared by budgetair to us due to which the senior citizens travelling in this flight were stranded in Mumbai airport.

I recently had a great experience with Budget Air that I would like to share. After a very busy day at work, I accidentally booked my son's tickets for October instead of August – the same year and dates, but the wrong month. I contacted customer service immediately, and although I had not purchased the free ticket-change option, Budget Air understood the situation and promptly issued a full refund. I was then able to purchase new tickets with the correct dates right away.
I have been a Budget Air customer for many years and will continue to be. In addition to offering excellent flight options, BA provides highly professional customer service and a thoughtful, individual approach to its customers.

Dear world,
Before booking a flight with BudgetAir, check Trustpilot.
As a father, I really mean it. I still can not recover from the trauma & financial burden they inflicted upon my family.
Save your money & time. Never use BudgetAir.
