Hello,

I am wondering if there are any FT'ers out there who have used Farebuzz (www.farebuzz.com) and if this is a reputable or at least legitimate site. I am kind of worried on a recent online booking I made thru this website.

Also at the time, because I was worried about the particular hotel booking I made online, I called many times their toll free number to see if I could get some help, but with my luck, I seemed to always get the unfriendly and not-very-patient representatives ---or ones with very heavy accents that seemed to add to the difficulty in understanding what they're saying .. and I do try to listen very very intently with the phone right up against my ear. I wonder if it's the New Yorker accent? I noticed that this company is based in New York... not to make fun of New Yorkers .. i have a Canadian accent too and I get made fun of "aboot" it a lot, too hehehe.. :D


Thanks for any help!

Be careful in using FareBuzz. I just bought a first class ticket on Farebuzz that they refused to honor. The price was very good and I called to confirm. After I booked and paid for the flight I checked the airline site to find out I had purchased a coach instead of first class ticket.

Farebuzz just said they made a mistake and they would not honor the first class purchase. They were correcting it by letting me know about the mistake. Let's hear it for the logic of those who work in the foreign call centers!

Welcome to FT!

This seems like something for the BBB. I would definately fight this, assuming you have proof of purchasing F rather than Y. I would also challenge the charge to your CC since you did not get what you paid for.
