Searched for the best deal on plane tickets on www.cheapflights.com. One of the listed sites was FoggyFly.com, which had the best price. Verified all disclosures and restrictions (of which there were none) on Delta "Basic Economy" tickets. Filled out the passenger information and purchased the tickets for $708.28 (with the understanding that, once purchased, the tickets were non-refundable).

Several hours later, I was contacted both by email and phone, stating that the tickets I had purchased were "Basic Economy Restricted" class, which not only does not include any checked bags or seat selection (which I of course wanted, and checked for in the restrictions), but does not even allow the option of purchasing these as upgrades (I have subsequently verified with Delta that there is no such restriction and purchasing the upgrades is always an option). The FoggyFly.com representative told me that, if I wanted those things, They would have to charge me an additional $881.71, making the total cost $1589.99 (more than double the original price.

When I refused this and informed them that they did not disclose these restrictions to me prior to purchase, they attempted to tell me that I had agreed to terms prior to purchase that prevented them from refunding the money (even though they hadn't provided me with tickets yet and still haven't). There were no such terms displayed either prominently, in fine print, or otherwise (they went so far as to walk through the website with me and were unable to show where they were). They offered to book different (more expensive) flights instead, but none were even close in price or workable for my needs.

They tried to pressure me to make a decision on the spot, saying that the other flights could only be held for half an hour or an hour (depending on who I was talking to), and tried to tell me "you're getting tickets at 40% off, what did you expect?" (or "60% off", again, depending on who I was talking to), and that a refund was not going to happen. I told them that I would contact them if I needed them any more. I will be stopping the charge through my credit card company.

I used airfarewatchdog to book my tickets and was given a confirmation code three times for my flight leaving out 7/28/23 from Atlanta to Detroit leaving at 6:00 am arriving at 7:57am. I contacted spirit and this is what they told me below.

Agent:[7/27/23, 2:37:04 PM]Go to "my trips" and it will ask you for your reservation code and last name. The last name is saved in capital letters "LOVELACE" maybe that is why it does not let you see it.

Allow me a second meanwhile I link account with reservation.

User:[7/27/23, 2:42:50 PM]Ok thank and I am not sure how you can explain anything, that is why I was contacting customer service in the first place.

User:[7/27/23, 2:43:28 PM]Like I said I was able to see it yesterday and I believe I did the pre-check in process for the flight to speed up the process at the airport.

Agent:[7/27/23, 2:46:01 PM]Oh well, look, I have already linked it, so if you have seen it before, it might be a website/app issue. Try to look for it again, if You can not, give it around five minutes or try on another device or PC. Is there anything else I can help you with today?

So I reached back out to flyodeals who stated your not being scammed we had to change the confirmation code and not to worry my flight is confirmation number with boarding passes this time.

- San Rafael, CA, USA

Hello, I was informed today by Mr Vincent that I no longer am able to utilize the airline tickets I signed up for.

I first got an email explaining someone was reaching out to me and I called your company immediately. I spoke with a woman who informed me that the tickets I purchased do not allow me to bring any bags. I asked her clearly to confirm to me that this was the reason I was being reached out to.

She said yes, she then let me know if I desired I could purchase upgrades to these tickets for around $750 for the three. I told her that I think this is a very bad deal and I would not like to accept her offer to upgrade.

I then let her know I would more than likely cancel the tickets, however I would first reach out to Delta and see if there are any better options.

The next email I saw informed me that my tickets had been cancelled, I called to ask why and I was told that if I wanted the same tickets, I would have to purchase them again at a higher rate.

This is obviously an issue as I never requested the cancellation in the first place. In fact, this sounds like a scam.

I now have no tickets and I am being pressured to pay more money if I want airfare for my families trip. I have already made plans which are unable to be undone. This issue is forcing me to pay the company more money or else pay to rectify the issue with another travel company now that prices are higher and I no longer have a guarantee there will be availability to travel.
