Bait-and-switch scam
Bait-and-switch scam. They show an attractive price, let you go through the whole booking and payment process, then suddenly claim the “transaction couldn’t be completed” due to “real-time data” or “technical issues.” No money taken? Perhaps, but your funds are frozen for days. Of course, the same flight is still available — now at a much higher price. This isn’t bad luck, it’s a deliberate dark pattern. Avoid Farera.
