The process to purchase was easy. The airline's record locator was hard to reach. The seats purchased with the transaction were not assigned immediately.

Hello Dhruv,

Thank you for bringing this to attention.

The ticket has been fully issued, and everything is all set for travel. The booking confirmation and travel documents have been resent, so checking the main inbox, spam folder, or promotions tab will help locate them. Accessing or downloading documents is also available anytime through the website account under the Documents section. A private message is on its way to double-check that everything has arrived safely.

Kind regards,
Leo

Please do not use BudgetAir if you want peace of mind.

Flight cancelled by airline, budgetair did not inform me. Upon requesting refund given a timescale of 8-10 weeks sighting airline policy whilst same flight booked with other agents refunded within days. BudgetAir can not be trusted with service or money, a terrible agent who holds your money to benefit themselves. I will now apply section 75 and claim my money through my credit card. Please do not use BudgetAir, pay a couple of pounds extra and book with a reputable agent.

Hello Lakshit,

Thank you for reaching out regarding the cancellation.

Cancellation options, refunds, or credit conditions depend on the airline's specific fare rules for the booked ticket. Assisting with navigating these policies and finding the available options for the booking is the main focus. A private message is on its way to look into the reservation details directly and assist with the cancellation process.

Kind regards,

Budgetair refused to refund during WestJet strike

I purchased west jet tickets for Aug 4 through Budgetair. WestJet sent an email to all passengers flying between July 31-Aug 4th discussing the potential for strike and offered customers to cancel free of charge. I sent the email to Budgetair they refused to give a refund. I booked another airline. The strike happened and they suspended all flights and Budget air still refused to refund as the strike is over. WestJet has stated that they are not charging for this flights that it is the third party that is refusing to refund. I have escalated to a manager who sent an email stating that the flight is back on so not refunding.

Hello Krista,

Thank you for taking the time to share this review.

When an airline issues travel waivers or free cancellations due to strike disruptions, those specific guidelines determine how refund requests are processed across booking systems. Taking full ownership of this case, a thorough review of the booking details and the airline waiver rules is being conducted to assess the refund eligibility directly with the airline. A private message is on its way to gather any additional information and keep you updated on every step of the progress.

Kind regards,
Leo

Please just spend the extra $20 to book with the airline.

Flying home from Dublin back to the US. The airline suddenly cancelled my flight and I was assigned a flight the next day, messing up my travel plans. I went to the airline (WestJet) and asked if there was any possible way to get a refund for my missed connections and a hotel waiver for my extra day, where they said that they normally, would give me $250 CAD, but because it was booked with a travel agency(Budget Air), it was up to Budget Air to accommodate. After calling Budget Air, I was told that there was “nothing they could do” to provide for the connections and the hotel, and that I would have to pay the extra costs. I’m grateful that I still have a way home(albeit with extra travel costs) but please, just spend the extra money to book directly with the airline. You’ll be glad you did when things go wrong.

Hello Rockwood,

Thank you for your feedback!

As an Online Travel Agency, we facilitate ticket bookings and do not directly provide hotel accommodations or ancillary compensation for airline-initiated cancellations. Operating carriers manage disruption care under their own guidelines.

To help safeguard against unexpected costs from flight disruptions, we offer AirHelp delay protection during checkout, which provides up to €600 in compensation when things go wrong.

We regret the inconvenience caused by the airline's cancellation and appreciate your feedback.

Kind regards,
Steve

Thank you for your service!

I would like to express my appreciation to the representatives of BudgetAir.com who took the feedback I wrote here seriously and contacted me immediately to correct the injustice that had been done. In May, I was refused boarding a flight on behalf of an airline under a very puzzling pretext that has no basis in reality. This meant that I was denied four consecutive flights to the destination to which I had purchased one combined ticket. I immediately reported the problem and the cancellation of the flights that I did not make. When I initially contacted the company, I did not receive a helpful response, but after the feedback I wrote here, the company representatives contacted the two airlines with which I was supposed to fly and helped me receive a refund, partial, but significant and which pleasantly surprised me.
I have previously ordered airline tickets from BudgetAir.com, used the flights, and everything was wonderful. This time I encountered a problem with a certain airline and I am glad I wrote feedback, because this way you restored trust in your company's good service, and I was happy to discover that BudgetAir.com takes seriously the financial loss caused to its customers due to airlines' responsibility. I thank all the representatives who helped me kindly and quickly to receive a refund for the flights that denied. There is an important saying that says better late than never and it is certainly appropriate here. I will use your site and services again. Thank you very much!

Thank you for your feedback!

Transit visas are strictly regulated by destination and transit authorities, and passengers are responsible for verifying entry and transit requirements with local embassies before travel.
