Cheapticket.sg scams on Extra Baggage and Credit card charges- far from cheapest
Skyscanner produced a list of best costs for a flight from mexico to Lima and lima to cusco. I choose Cheaptickets.sg from the list as they had high ratings albeit not the very lowest price. Firstly, they charged a high amount for credit card usage which added 2.5% to cost. Agoda altho more expensive would be cheaper since it doesnt charge this. 2nd They did not offer any option for adding baggage, but did state there was no check-in luggage. They gave no advice what options would be for extra luggage. I assumed I could login to Airline website and book extra luggage, but Cheap tickets produces their own Check-in/flight confirmation codes which are not recognised by the airline, which indicated 70 usd/bag extra on their website ( LATAM). I returned back to cheap tickets to see if there was any way to add bags after receiving the confirmation code...they wanted to charge USD 220/bag!!!!!!!!. Scammers...a) prevent you buying bags direct by producing codes not recognised by airline, and b) then rip you off when you are forced to buy through them. Calling the airlines didnt help as they refer you back to your booking agent. MYTRIP was offering 120 USD /bag which is still a ripoff albeit less then CHEAPTICKETS. Dont be fooled by their high grades...no way they have 5 stars vs all the other budget sites with these scams. I guess they pay peope to do positive reviews.
