The best price online
March 13, 2026
Updated review

I'm happy with the price and ease of buying plane tickets.
I'm unhappy about the form not displaying the correct birth year in the dropdown menu since he is 11 and the menu does not show the year 2014. This causes additional work to have the birth year corrected later on. The system validation rules were not thoroughly tested.

Wrong years from selection box for children under 12
March 10, 2026
Previous review

The box to select the birth year for a minor does not display 2014 for children who are still 11, it only shows 2015, this is a system validation error.

Didn't like it price of tickets like 100 US DOLLAR more in end of payment. And I never tik anything not important. But I still paid 100 USD extra... I bought 4 tickets which I paid 400 USD extra. But it doesn't show in first after you paid it comes out of your account... Very clever way take extra money

Very bad experience
March 9, 2026

Any time you booked a flight you can cancel before 24 hours or before your e-ticket I saw baggage allowance London to Algiers 1 piece of 23kg / passenger
After paying everything changed no baggage I call to cancel after 45 minutes of payment impossible to cancel
To add extra baggage impossible I'll never recommend anyone to buy from them
Very bad company and bad customer satisfaction bad experience

Smartfare
March 9, 2026

My issue with Smartfare was that I was not informed from the beginning that the quote for my fares that was displayed in my currency was going to be charged to my account in USD which added more cost due to me currency's value to the Rand. I was highly upset as I could have made a different choice and saved money

Very patient

The agents that helped with my booking were very professional and helpful, considering that I don't fly that often and consider myself an internet illiterate and require a bit of patience.
