The Good:

Unfortunately, we do not have much nice to say here. CheapOair always has coupon codes for airfare and some good hotel deals.

The Bad:

The fees. Oh man, the fees. We were very frustrated when testing CheapOair’s airfare prices against the competition, because the first result that comes up does not include the taxes/fees. You are forced to click on the lowest available fare (which takes you to the final booking screen) to see the total price with taxes and fees. After all was said and done, CheapOair rarely came up with the best flight prices during our search. Perhaps CheapOair should revise their search algorithms so that they can come up with better prices. The fact that CheapOair charges such a steep booking fee ($24), really turned us off.  True, CheapOair always has coupon codes for $10 – $15 off, but this does not even cover their booking fee.  This doesn’t make CheapOair a scam in and of itself, because they do clearly disclose the amount of their fees.

We are also not impressed with CheapOair’s “lowest price guarantee”* as it only reimburses you $10 if you find a cheaper flight or hotel elsewhere and this does not even include airline websites (aka. where the cheapest prices are usually had).

Save yourself the headache and try searching (or bidding) on airfare at Priceline.com or Hotwire.com. For international flights, we find that Vayama.com has a nice search engine.

The Fees *:

• $24 Airfare booking fee (per person)
• Up to $25 Hotel booking fee (per room)
• All airline tickets and cruises are fully non-refundable, but “in certain cases where the Airline may allow cancellations, a credit may be available for future ticket purchase and travel on the same airline”.

• All cancellations are subject to a $25 booking fee.
