INCOMPETENT FOOLS Incompetent fools. I purchased a ticket with the special price for seniors/disabled. Ok, so upon purchase the pop up requires you to send documentation within 3 hours. (send either gov. ID (Cédula), gov. Disabled ID, or Passport if foreigner) I sent my gov. issued ID 10 minutes after purchase. The next day, a young lady called and sent an e-mail requesting documentation. I re-sent the cédula. Then, an e-mail came requesting documentation for someone other than me. I responded that this must be an error. Even later, the same young lady called, and even recognized my voice, which flustered her, and she continued to ask that I send my ID. (which I did....for the 3rd time). The next day, I received an e-mail stating that the reservation was not made due to lack of documentation. ok, I get it, Despegar. com is incompetent...I will purchase the ticket elsewhere, and never return.

Hard to contact The only email I received is this one asking me to evaluate them. Not only I didn't get a confirmation after paying US$2300, it's hard to reach the company: US number is busy (huh?), Argentine number requires a reservation number (how should I have it?). It's definitely not a scam website, but if something goes wrong, you're on your own. Reservaction number could be 668512091500 (from URL history)

USE THIS AGENT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY, DO NOT TRUST SITE!!!! NO CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT SPEAKS ENGLISH. IF YOU MAKE A SINGLE MISTAKE ON THE RESERVATION, YOU PUT YOURSELF A RISK OF LOSING YOUR MONET.

worst customer service ever phones don't work, poor customer service to change a flight in case of emergency, no refunds!!!!! very disrespectful with customer's time and needs/

Pay for a package to Cartagena which… Paid for a package to Cartagena which gave me an option to include a yatch sunset sightseeing trip, turned out to be a random boat, which didn’t honour what was stated on the contract. packages are sold by despegar lacking monitoring of who are their local providers.. so if you buy a yatch trip whatever provider pick it up despegar will honour. not making sure what’s being stated on the small printing…
