CheapOair has been in business since 2005, with several administrative offices in various cities worldwide. It operates under Fareportal, its parent company, to help travelers get discounted prices on tickets, hotels and car rentals around the world.

Customers just need to use the standard search features of the website to find what they’re seeking. Main options such as date, location and preferences are offered to get the needed results for flights, hotels, cruises and other bookings. More options are then available to narrow the results such as the area of the destination city or shortest flight.

And for hotel searches, options like special rates for travelers such as active military or senior citizens, star ratings and guest review could be used to sort the search results.

Service fees & cancellation policy

One of the most common complaints that many customers have about CheapOair is its somehow high service fees for booking rental cars, flights and especially hotels.

So for instance, when booking a room, users should consider an additional $30 per night as a service fee. It means that, the room’s list price doesn’t include that fee. However, paying for rental cars and flights include lower fees.

The same is true for cancellation fees. Sometimes, CheapOair’s cancellation fees could be higher than the original reservation cost. So travelers should be very careful when booking with this service and should be ready for such high fees if their plans don’t work out. But in case of phone cancellation, these fees and charges could be waived for some groups of people like active military members, the bereaved and seniors.
