Vayama.com aka BudgetAir.com is a fraudulent company seeking to steal the consumer's money. Booked with Vayama for an airline ticket from San Francisco to Spain. Got the ticket after paying $1300.00 and flew to Newark to get onto a connecting flight but was denied entry on the Lufthansa flight from Newark to Spain due to the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. Requested a refund from Vayama for the unused difference, which turned out to be $1100. However, Vayama claimed they paid me $189, which I never received. I emailed them and they said that they would refund me the unused difference fee of $1100. After nearly a year, I have yet to receive any of the refund money promised by Vayama. Vayama has stopped replying to my emails on this matter. Stay away from this company, for it is a notorious and fraudulent company. Vayama.com is apparently run by Hindustani immigrants living in the United Kingdom. Vayama has been disciplined in previous years for violating the United States Department of Transportation's full fare advertising rule, 14 CFR 399.84(a), which constituted prohibited unfair and deceptive practice under Title 49 U.S.C., § 41712. (See: Case docket OST 2014-0001). And Vayama has repeatedly received a failing grade of F by the Better Business Bureau with several thousand complaints against the company. What's worse, Vayama.com declared bankruptcy in December of 2020. As of now, Vayama has changed its name to BudgetAir.com in order to escape its deplorable corporate business reputation in order to dupe more consumers of their hard earned money. My advice is to stay away from these disreputable third party ticketing agencies. Go directly to the airlines for booking an airline ticket. And if you must book cheaply, go with Expedia and Priceline.com since they are proven reputable companies that have had excellent reviews throughout their corporate histories. If you have refund issues with Vayama or BudgetAir, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and take action to protect your consumer rights from fraudulent ticketing agencies who seek to defraud Americans of their money.

STAY AWAY Horrible customer service. Vayama seems like disappeared no one replies to emails. What kind of business is this? Their call center is closed...even though its suppose to be open 24/7. The airline said I can get a voucher or freeze my ticket, but I need to do it thru Vayama. Why is the call center is closed? On the website it says that im suppose to get an email...I got nothing! Its frustrating enough to deal with pandemic.

Still in a dispute with them around an… Still in a dispute with them around an imaginary schedule change. Basically missed our connection and they sent an email nearly three hours after to advise of a "schedule change" Akin to buying a jacked and wearing it home only for the sleeves to fall off before you get an email to say "sleeves may fall off". The customer service is an endless line of rubbish excuses and nonsensical screen shots. Do not use this company, they're scammers

Booked a business class ticket in Air… Booked a business class ticket in Air India using Vayama/Budget-Air. Canceled the ticket and Air India specifically mentioned that except for 600 USD everything else will be returned. So far no luck in getting the money back from Vayama. Vayama keeps on redirecting to Air India. Air India said that it is the responsibility of 3rd party to refund the amount in due time. I am going to sue Vayama for stealing my money and causing me mental stress and anxiety. Never ever book any ticket with the theives. Booking number KBUSW-0603300 Airline reference: M3XNL7
