ESIncompetent or worse? My wife stood at the airport checkin in Miami last night for a confirmed booking through kayak/chatdeal. Kayak said after payment that the reservation would be handled by chatdeal. She did receive exactly one whatsapp message saying the flight was successfully confirmed, but nothing else. When she rechecked the url because the airline did not have a reservation for her, the page content had changed to "cancelled" with a message to contact a phone number with the booking ID. When she called the given service number, they told her that they did not know anything about her booking code. The credit card payment for the everything but cheap transatlantic flight from Miami to Barcelona still shows as "Authorized - Chatdeal via Kayak" in my bank account, blocking the card from making a different booking. It is clear that no one was prepared to assume the responsibility for this situation. When this can happen with a flight reservation they do without any chance of an alternative flight or recompensation, the whole business model of travel agency / flight portal becomes worthless. Update: They now fully charged my credit card for the cancelled reservation. I´ll handle this as fraud.

GBKatniss was amazing Katniss was amazing. When our flight got delayed, and we were going to miss our connection, British Airways was no help. But Katniss at ChatDeal quickly got us on a new flight. Amazing. Thank you Katniss!

GBScam company Scam company: Wish I had read the review before making a booking. I bought ticket for return flight from England to Pakistan via Doha. I received email a day before may return flight to MAN about certain schedule change and I found out that my booking on first flight from Pak to DOH was cancelled by the ChatDeal, though it was operating normally. I had contacted airline who had advised to contact the travel agents directly for re-booking and refund. However, ChatDeal was unable to give any explanation to what had happened to booking and used lame excuses. I had to buy new ticket for that flight. It's been over three weeks and yet they haven't refunded me the amount for cancelled flight. They have now stopped responding to my emails. AVOID this scam company.

GBAbsolutely under ANY circumstance DO… Absolutely under ANY circumstance DO NOT USE KAYAK CHAT DEAL to book your flights!!! They will not let you cancel within 24 hours. They will charge exorbitant unauthorized fees with no disclosure or explanation. They are happy to HARASS you by sending you multiple email and phone calls a day but they will ghost and be unreachable as soon as you call them back. They are con artists and dishonest. I regret my choice to use them so much and I will NEVER IN MY LIFE make this mistake again. You will absolutely regret your choice.
