Booking Confirmed, Order Cancelled Hours Later.
I would not recommend booking through Farera. After my train to London was cancelled, I urgently needed a replacement flight. I searched on Skyscanner and the best option was through Farera. Although I had never heard of them before, I carefully checked everything before booking: the date, departure time, cabin baggage, and the final price after being redirected from Skyscanner (which is often where prices change). Everything was correct, so I entered my credit card details and confirmed the booking. I immediately received an email saying: "Your flight tickets are on their way! We are currently processing your booking and will send your confirmation within a few minutes." The email also stated that my payment had been pre-authorized and that only in the rare case that the airline's availability changed at the last minute would the ticket not be issued. Reassured by this confirmation, I went to bed thinking my trip was secured, even though this last-minute flight had already cost me around €500 more than originally planned. The next morning I woke up to an email saying simply: "Order cancelled." Apparently, Farera was advertising and selling a ticket they could not actually issue. While they did not charge my card, that doesn't change the fact that I lost valuable time and was left scrambling to find another flight, by which time prices had increased even further. If your travel is time-sensitive, I would strongly recommend booking directly with the airline or with an established travel agency that only sells tickets it can actually ticket, rather than merely attempting to obtain them after you've placed your order. This experience caused unnecessary stress at exactly the moment I needed reliability most.
