GBOnce upon a time Once upon a time, they regularly had excellent bargains. Now, per-night and other fees are added to the bid price such that you can usually do as well or better with traditional travel sites, with less hassle. Their main web page has also become a bit of a mystery. Click on "Air," and you get a screen that lists -- nothing. Click on "Cruise" and you get a list of 9 cruises all from the same company on similar itineraries. Click on "Closing Soon" and get a list full of puffery but which often doesn't mention the destination until the end, so you have to wade through lots of verbiage -- and many ads for sunglasses, necklaces, and assorted stuff. Bought a number of items from them earlier. Now, I wouldn't bother.

GBI got a very cheap price for 1 nights… I got a very cheap price for 1 nights hotel stay for 2 travellers at one of the best hotels in Asia, saving at least 60% off the normal price. When i contacted the hotel after winning the auction to check the reservation, they had no trace of it, after a bunch of emails the reservation was found and all went smoothly. I highly recommend sky auctions.

CADon't hesitate! We have been fortunate to have used Skyauction for over 10 years and we have never been dissatisfied. The places are always high end and there are always great places available. We have used it in Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and the States and will continue to do so. Having had to cancel once, their understanding and quick response was amazing. The savings are incredible and we are so happy to have discovered it. Great site.

GBHidden costs galore! Very disappointing experience. If you do find a baragin and bid several days later you get an email that it was already gone...I believe just a tease to get you excited and then you give in to all the additional hidden costs. Run away from this site- go to veterans vacations or another where the costs are much clearer before you pull out the credit card.

CAWe have used SkyAuction since 2010 We have used SkyAuction since 2010. No problems until de pandemic started. We had purchased a voucher for a week long reservation (we decided for Atlantic city in May 2020) and we also purchased an all-inclusive in DR (Bayahibe) for October 2020. Of course, both transactions before the pandemic started. Total cost: around 1200$. To make a long story short, we lost all of our money as both places were closed at the time we were supposed to travel there. For a while, SkyAuction replied to us telling us we had 3 months to rebook. But of course, pandemic still going on made that 3 months unrealistic (as it is the original reason why everything was cancelled). SkyAuction has stopped replying to our emails a VERY long time ago.
