Cheapvuelos is an online travel agency for flight tickets, with domestic and international routes in economy, premium economy, business and first class. It is worth a look if you want phone support when booking. Before you buy, you should know how strict its refund rules are.
What you can book
On the homepage you search round trips or one-way flights and choose the cabin class and number of travelers. The site promotes comparing airlines and prices in one place, plus a flexible ticket option for changing travel dates. The details of that option are marked with an asterisk, so read them before booking. There is a phone line for advice, and changes or cancellations go through this customer service.
What a booking really costs
Cheapvuelos says you get a transparent price breakdown at every step and no hidden fees. Still, look at each line: besides the fare there are airline taxes and surcharges, and according to its refund policy the provider adds convenience and service fees. Those service fees are not refundable. For changes, expect the airline's penalty, a possible fare difference and a change fee from the provider. You learn the amounts by talking to customer service, they are not listed as a flat rate on the site.
Baggage, seat selection and meals depend on the fare and airline. Add them to the fare before buying so you see the real final price.
Cancellation and payment
Read this part closely. Under the refund policy, the flight booking services including service fees are non-refundable, and cancellations are to be made by phone. A refund is only possible if the fare rules allow it, you are not a no-show and the supplier grants a waiver. Confirmed flights are treated as non-refundable. In some cases the airline may allow a cancellation if you call more than 24 hours before departure.
If a refund is approved, it takes time. For cancellations within the void window the provider quotes 24 to 72 business hours, afterwards four to five business weeks, and elsewhere in the policy 60 to 90 days overall. The money goes back to the payment method you used. For changes, contact Cheapvuelos rather than the airline, otherwise the provider may no longer be able to help with changes or refunds.
How to save
The site shows promotions such as round trip fares below a set price, and they rotate. No voucher codes are stored for it at the moment. The most reliable way to save is to be flexible: compare weekdays and nearby airports, and check whether a cheaper fare without a bag is really cheaper in the end. Cashback is an extra on top and does not change the price you pay.
Who Cheapvuelos suits
The provider fits if you value phone help and your travel dates are fixed. If flexibility matters most, read the refund rules especially carefully and check whether the flexible ticket option really belongs to your fare in your case. Comparing with the airline's own price shows whether the detour via an agent pays off, since with the airline you get changes without an extra service fee.
If anything is unclear, ask before paying, not afterwards. Note down who you spoke to and keep the confirmation. That helps if questions about price or baggage come up later.
Tips
