GBZero rating if I could Zero rating if I could, then I thought it was a scam. Picked out my dates and flights, no one confirmed my seats. When I finally reached someone after saying...is this a scam, they said those flights are over booked. I'm booking 3 months in advance. Soooo I canceled everything. And went with Priceline which is legit.

ESTotally misleading Totally misleading! They show prices which relate only to a single night and mislead you into thinking they are cheap. In reality they are only able to access higher rates than other sites

GBDouble the Bag Fees; Triple the Stress Booked my Spirit Airline flights for November with them in September. Took Spirit 3 days to recognize the res # that Bookingbuddy gave me, and then I was able to buy bags for the flight through Spirit's website under that res number. The evening before my flight I go to check in, and Spirit says that the res was cancelled in early October due to credit card fraud. Not mine, but apparently somebody at Bookingbuddy. So I'm totally out of luck. At this point, I'm frantically trying to get booked back on the flight, when I get a call on my cell from Bookingbuddy telling me that they're emailing me my boarding passes. And THOSE weren't real Spirit Airlines boarding passes but just a printout of a new res under a new number. Huh? The crisis was averted in that the new res number let me actually check in on the Spirit site. But I had to re-buy the bags, because they wouldn't acknowledge the purchase under the OLD res number. I had to buy the bags both ways all over again, and lost $204. Spirit Airlines says it's my problem - not theirs and that they flat-out DO not refund bags. The good news is that we traveled as planned. But it was WAY too much stress on me and having to double pay for the bags ate up whatever savings I was getting in the cheap flight through Bookingbuddy. Never again!

GBTerrible rates Terrible rates - I have never found good rates at this site. This time I looked at a car rental rate. I have already secured a rate for economy car through Costco for $15.91 for one day/same day rental. Bookingbuddy is $60 - $70 for same day same car class - but advertised "come-on" is for $7/day. Ridiculous - you cannot find a higher rate no matter how hard you try.

GBBooking Buddy is NOT the cheapest place around, at least not when I flew. I priced airline tickets for a recent trip from Columbus Ohio to Fort Myers Florida using the Airlines web site, Booking buddies, orbitz, priceline, and expedia. I found that expedia was the cheapest and really easy to use. I was pretty disappointed with the others since their prices were higher in comparison
