Hello Patipan,

Thank you for sharing your review.

Clear information and accessible documents are essential for a smooth booking experience. When flight schedules are changed by an airline, ticket choices and refund conditions depend strictly on the airline rules confirmed at the time of booking. Once a choice or schedule adjustment is finalised under those rules, further changes or refunds may no longer be permitted.

Kind regards,
Leo

I misclicked the wrong date on the calender

I misclicked the wrong date on my flight reservation and notice it right away when i got the confirmation. The agent was very strict on their policy and couldn’t change the date without charging the cancelation fees and asked me to rebook again, while the own airline can give a full refund in the 24h regardless of the ticket type choosen

TAP confirmed BudgetAir could act, BudgetAir refuses

I booked a TAP Air Portugal flight (Lisbon to Seville, 10 September 2026) through BudgetAir for my elderly mother. The surname on the ticket needs a correction to match her passport — a simple name correction, same passenger, and I raised it right after the purchase with her passport as proof.

BudgetAir's response: "Contact the airline yourself." So I did. TAP Air Portugal told me explicitly that they cannot process the correction for me — because the ticket was issued by BudgetAir, the correction must be submitted by BudgetAir, as the issuing agent, through TAP's agent helpdesk.

I relayed this back to BudgetAir with TAP's instructions. BudgetAir still refuses to act and keeps deflecting to the airline. Each side of this loop has been documented in writing.

To be clear about the stakes: an elderly passenger will be denied boarding over a clerical issue that takes the issuing agent minutes to submit. BudgetAir collected the fare, holds the sole authority to fix the ticket, and simply will not do its job as the issuing agent.

I am asking BudgetAir to submit the name correction to TAP's helpdesk immediately and confirm with an updated itinerary. Booking reference available upon request.

Hello Jason,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

Name correction policies and conditions are established directly by the airline, and modifications must strictly follow their guidelines. Agency systems must operate within the airline's established rules and cannot overrule them.

Unreliable service and unhelpful customer support — avoid

I had a terrible experience with BudgetAir and would strongly advise against using them:

Useless Flexible/Change Option: I paid extra for flexible ticket access, but when I tried to reschedule, customer support claimed there were no available flights for months. However, when I searched for the exact same route on a separate page, flights were readily available.

Misleading Customer Support: They told me to contact the airline directly to request proof that my ticket was refundable. When I spoke to the airline, they explained that because the ticket was booked through BudgetAir, only BudgetAir could manage or change it. The airline also confirmed they never send third-party confirmation emails regarding refundability.

Save yourself the headache and book directly with the airline or a reputable provider. I will not be using BudgetAir again.

Hello Usha,

Thank you for taking the time to share the feedback.

Flight availability for flexible ticket modifications operates on real-time seat inventory provided by the airlines, which can differ from new search results. Additionally, adjustments to a booking can be requested directly through the BudgetAir My Account environment to streamline the process without needing to contact the airline.

Kind regards,
Peter

This website charged too much for cancelling ticket! We had a family emergency and had to cancel ticket less than 2 hrs and they still charged us. This should be illegal!

Hello Quoc,

Thank you for your feedback.

When a booking is modified or canceled, the costs are determined by the rules and penalty fees set by the airline itself. As a booking agent, these conditions must be followed to process the request with the carrier. If you encounter any issues, please do not hesitate to contact us directly via the chat. We are available 24/7 to help you as quickly as possible.

Predatory $220 fee for a 1-letter typo

Predatory $220 fee for a 1-letter typo
Predatory $220 fee for a 1-letter typo! Holding my ticket hostage.

Extremely disappointed with BudgetAir. I booked a group round-trip ticket on SriLankan Airlines for September 29, and there is a minor one-letter typo on my first name ("Aaishaa" instead of "Aaisha"). It is a simple trailing vowel mistake.When I called customer service to fix this minor slip, BudgetAir demanded a shocking $220 processing fee! SriLankan Airlines allows minor typos for a minimal fee, but BudgetAir is applying a massive, predatory agency markup.I am traveling in a group and this is causing unnecessary stress. I am completely willing to pay a reasonable, standard amendment fee, but $220 for adding an extra letter "A" is pure price gouging.I need an escalations manager to contact me immediately to resolve this for a fair fee so my group can travel in peace.

Hello Hassan,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

A name change or correction is governed strictly by airline rules, as airlines retain full control over ticket reissue terms and amendment fees. Booking platforms must process these changes according to the specific airline policy and operational costs involved, which means fee structures cannot be manually overridden.

To review the ticket details and see what options remain available under the airline guidelines. An agent will look into the case and assist you further.

Kind regards,
Leo

Hello Afshan

Thank you for leaving a review.

A check on the booking shows that the reservation was completed, including the airline confirmation code, and the confirmation email was dispatched to the address entered during booking. Sometimes automated messages are filtered into spam or junk folders by mistake.

To ensure all travel details are received, the confirmation email is being sent to your inbox again right now. Please check the spam folder as well, and if the details still do not appear, replying to that message will allow an agent to assist directly.

Kind regards,
Leo

I had to fill in the info 4 times

I had to fill in the info 4 times. :-(
I really didn’t appreciate how insistent you are that I buy one of your plans. At the very end, it seemed like if I wouldn’t agree to buy your garbage plan, you wouldn’t let me buy the ticket, so I accidentally pressed X to return to the previous screen . I had to start again. Then the second time I noticed in very small text it was possible to refuse. It seems you are so focused on selling extras that you have completely lost respect for the customer. Sad! I would prefer not using your services again

Hello Lorenzo,

Thank you for sharing this feedback.

The booking process should feel straightforward and clear, without confusing optional add-ons or navigation choices. Product options are offered to help travellers customise their trips, but this should never feel pushy or hinder the purchase process. Feedback regarding the layout and visibility of these options is taken seriously and helps improve the user experience on the website.

Kind regards,
Leo

Will NEVER use again

Site appeared to show one departure time and then when I booked, it was actually a very late pm flight which means I would land after midnight. Two minutes after realizing the error, I contacted budget air and they would do absolutely nothing to help me. No more than five minutes had passed from the transaction and they were unwilling to do anything to help me without charging me several hundreds of dollars basically the cost of the flight to make the change. Horrible Customer Service.

Hello Elisa,

Thank you for leaving a review.

Selected departure times are locked in directly with the airline during checkout. For budget and low-cost carriers, ticket rules are strictly set by the airline itself, which means modifications or cancellations are often restricted by their policies.

To look into the booking details and see what options remain available under these airline rules, please reply directly to the latest message received from customer support. Once a reply is sent, an agent will review the case and assist further.

Kind regards,
Leo
