Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Good prices and easy booking. My only complaint is the very aggressive upselling, but it was only a little annoying to keep saying no.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It was such a hassle trying to figure out payment. I kept running into issues. It almost made paying the extra $13 extra on the airline’s app worth it just for the ease.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. Please do not use this site—it’s a scam. I booked a flight ticket for $985, but later received an email requesting an extra $400 without any explanation.
