Easy booking, good pricing, responsive to requests for help
It was quite simple to make the booking & pay, and the price was competitive. I had issues afterwards trying to log into the airlines websites to add baggage however after trying to troubleshoot myself, with no luck, it was soon sorted by email correspondence with their help centre.

Asked to change flight and they wouldn’t 🤷♀️
Checked their website the flight i wanted had 7 seats left, but guess what, just not applicable to me so yeah, this is really what frustrated me.
Surely a $600 flight on your website and you send me a $2600 one to change to was just utmost disrespect, but what do i know? I just know next time i’m taking my booking elsewhere. Could have been treated slightly better for someone who purchased 3 flight tickets in one go. Just sayin

Hello Tashinga,
We're sorry to hear that you didn’t have a smooth experience with us, but thank you for sharing it.
Flight prices and changes depend entirely on the specific ticket rules and the seat availability categories provided by the airline. The lower price seen on the website often belongs to a different fare category that cannot be used for an exchange on an existing ticket. The alternative options sent reflect the live prices and available seats the airline permits for changes at that exact moment, which causes the fares to fluctuate significantly.
Please contact us with the booking reference number so the options can be reviewed again.
Kind regards,
Peter
Terrible service.
[UPDATE]: BudgetAir.com.au has posted the exact same copy-paste template here as they did on my other review. Once again, they are trying to shift the blame to the airline and offering to "discuss the situation." There is nothing left to discuss. The airline has already confirmed the holdup is entirely on BudgetAir's end. I will not accept more stall tactics. The bank chargeback is actively moving forward, and this review will stay up until the money is fully returned to my account
I have been waiting over 11 weeks for a refund on booking BAU-10560668. BudgetAir keeps blaming the airline, while the airline tells me the matter rests entirely with BudgetAir. Because of this endless finger-pointing, I have officially lodged a formal dispute and chargeback with my bank for 'Services Not Provided'. If BudgetAir wants to resolve this before the bank forces the reversal and applies merchant dispute fees, I suggest an escalation manager contacts me to process the refund immediately

I understand your frustration regarding the delay in processing your refund and the back-and-forth communication. I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. We are committed to resolving this for you. As mentioned in your other review, we take this serious and will reach out to the airline to speed up the process. We will also reach out to you to discuss the situation. Kind regards Klara
I paid for attitude and sarcasm
I booked a flight and paid more to be able to access support and help. I then found out I had to book seats, baggage and change things through the airlines not with budget air. I have spent an extra $200 on bags. When I called up to try to change or even cancel my flight as this process annoyed me so much and felt like a waste of money as booking with the airline with bags included was now a lot cheaper I was met with a lot of attitude by customer service, who seemed to not care about my experience or the fact I would not be using this website again. Not only that but no advice or help or support (which I paid for) was offered. I wouldn’t recommend this service at all. Just use trip.com and don’t get ripped off.

Hello Erin,
The review regarding the service package and the experience with our support team has been noted.
All travelers receive equal assistance, and support is provided without bias. The premium service package is designed specifically to waive our admin fees if the ticket conditions permit modifications or cancellations.
Options to add seating and baggage are offered directly during the initial online booking process. Once the booking is completed and the tickets are issued, additional purchases must be made directly through the operating airline, as third-party agency system access is restricted by the carriers after issuance.
We will reach out to you within 24 hours so that we can explain this in detail and assist you.
Kind regards,
Steve

Hello Rosalie,
Thank you for sharing this experience. Not receiving a timely reply regarding seat assignments for a layover is frustrating, and it is important to have clear information for every part of the journey.
Seat numbers can be selected during the booking process on the website. Once airline tickets and seats are fully confirmed, a travel agency no longer has direct access or the system authority to modify those assignments. To help check the current status of the seats and provide better clarity on how to manage them directly with the airline, someone from the team will contact you shortly.
Kind regards,
Leo

Affordable price
they are good to be honest and they help you to do the booking so fast whatever the price they show on the ad it is the same when you do the booking as well. That’s what I love it was so nice to do my tickets because as compared to other website the price was so affordable and my booking was done like within five minutes .

I would like to share the very…
I would like to share the very disappointing experience I had during my first—and certainly my last—time using BudgetAir’s services.
I booked my airline tickets through BudgetAir and later added two checked bags: one under my name and one under my wife’s name.
Due to an emergency, I had to return earlier than planned. I contacted customer service to request a change to my return flight date. My request was flatly denied, and no alternative or solution was offered.
I then asked if the checked bag registered under my name could at least be transferred to another passenger traveling under the same booking reference. Once again, I was told this was impossible and that the other passenger would have to purchase a new checked bag.
I can understand that my flight ticket could not be changed because I had purchased a Basic fare. However, refusing to transfer a checked bag that has already been paid for between passengers on the same reservation is, in my opinion, completely unreasonable.
This experience was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, BudgetAir’s customer service is poor, inflexible, and shows little interest in finding solutions for its customers. I would not recommend this company, and I will not be using its services again.

Hello Tarik,
The disappointment regarding the flight modification and baggage transfer rules is acknowledged.
The restrictions applied to the reservation are determined entirely by the operating airline's policies and not us.
Basic fare tickets are strictly non-changeable according to the terms and conditions that you accepted during checkout. Additionally, airline regulations dictate that baggage allowances are bound directly to the specific passenger name on the ticket and cannot be transferred to another traveler, even within the same booking reference.
We must operate within these system restrictions and cannot override carrier protocols.
Kind regards,
Steve
