I've booked three trips with CheapOair now and the fares consistently undercut the big sites, with no surprises on the actual flights. The car rental add-on was reasonably priced too. I'd just prefer a cleaner checkout with fewer optional extras thrown at me.
Consistently low fares
Cluttered checkout with extras
I saved a fair bit booking my flights and hotel as a package on CheapOair, and the e-ticket arrived quickly. Just be aware the cheapest fares are basic economy, so I paid extra for a bag the airline would have bundled elsewhere. Still came out ahead overall.
Cheap flight and hotel packages
Add-on baggage costs caught me out
The prices on CheapOair are genuinely low and my flights were fine, but when I needed to change a date the phone support was slow and a service fee applied on top of the airline charge. Great for a straightforward booking, less so the moment anything goes off-script.
Low headline fares
Costly, slow changes via support
CheapOair beat every other site I checked for a multi-city flight to Europe and the booking confirmed without issue. The fare alerts helped me grab the price before it jumped. The only nag was the steady stream of insurance and upgrade pop-ups during checkout.
Genuinely competitive flight prices
Pushy add-on prompts at checkout
Booking four tickets and a hotel through CheapOair came out far cheaper than anywhere else and everything was confirmed within minutes. The mobile app made it easy to track our itinerary. For budget-conscious family travel this was exactly what I needed.
