If there is zero star rating option I…

If there is zero star rating option I will choose it. The customer service is very unprofessional, they just want to got as much money as possible when you cancel. The representative who I talked to to cancel asked my to call the airline to get approval for fully refund. I called the airlines they told me they will refund the total amount and I ask for confirmation they said budget air should contact them not the customer, when I called back budget air the representative said he needs an email from them!!!!! I explained everything he was still asking me to get the approval instead of helping me canceling. It was the worst experience I had in my entire life. They charged me the cancellation fees 110$ and what I paid $23 extra for Flight Delay Compensation Service (AirHelp+)which is not refundable and I did not got any help. I don’t recommend the website to anyone, I canceled after two hours due to a family emergency and I explained that to them. My father passed away and I had to go through all these procedures to not getting back the full refund in the end whoever the airline themselves told me they won’t charge any amount!! Budget Air is money hungry company who provide the cheapest prices when you choose them you will see hidden charges with no benefit. I hope my review save some people from booking flights through them.

It’s a ripoff

I wanted to cancel a booking made by mistake few minutes before, but they were charging me 75% of ticket value as cancellation fee. That’s ridiculous. Worst service

We regret any frustration caused by our cancellation policy. We understand your disappointment regarding the fee. We are always working to improve our services but at the same time we need to follow the airline policies. For next time consider to get a service package with us so the fees are waived. Maybe that helps. Have a great day and kind regards Anna

The absolute WORST service

This was absolutely the WORST experience I have ever had while attempting to book a flight. When I tried to access the "account" feature to get details of the flight I would get "page not available " over and over again. The live person who I spoke with, Sunil, was extremely difficult to understand as he talked very very fast with a very very thick accent and constantly interrupted me. I had to go repeatedly onto the airline's various sites and try to enter the code Sunil took forever to get for me. After several attempts I finally got through and had to basically repeat the entire booking process. In all, it took nearly 2 hours of hell to get it done. NEVER NEVER use Budgetair.com

Mandatory fees for cancellation within one minute

Canceled within a minute after submitting because it would not let me check my seat where it indicated it would and their policy is not to reverse cancellations without $110 fee so I paid $50 more for this service than all the other ones
