Total rip-off
I booked an international trip in premium economy class on Air Canada via Fareboom. Eleven days later Air Canada downgraded me from premium economy to ordinary economy class. I asked for refund of fare difference or cancellation of ticket. At first, Fareboom representative Yashpal Singh agreed to cancel the ticket and offer full refund in 2 days. But this did not happen for several weeks. I found out that Air Canada sent $300 refund to Fareboom to offer it to me for downgrading my cabin class to economy. But, Fareboom kept the money and continued to lie to me that they were still working with Air Canada. Every few days, Fareboom would issue a new itinerary, but I could not validate these on Air Canada website. At this point, I was worried and disputed the charge with my credit card company. In retaliation, Air Canada cancelled my ticket 5 days before start of the trip. I had numerous emails and phone communications with Saurabh Rajan, Saurabh Kumar, Yashpal Singh, and Sachin Mamgain. They falsely and deceptively advised me to contact my credit card company and withdraw my dispute and have a letter sent to them which they would forward to Air Canada and the trip would be reactivated. The trip remained cancelled despite me doing all their suggested actions. I lost the protection offered by my credit card after I withdrew my dispute. Finally, I bought a separate ticket at a very high price from a different travel agency on a different airline just a day before travel. Farebook repeatedly confirmed that they would get full refund of $1770 for my cancelled (ticket was cancelled by either the airline or the travel agency, not by the passenger) ticket from Air Canada. I continued contacting Fareboom for several months and they never got the refund for me. Fareboom (alias Best Travel Company) pretends to have an office in California and uses a phone number with California area code, but they operate from Delhi, India and all their employees are based in Delhi. They are highly unreliable and will rip you off for thousands of dollars.
