Came across Globehunters when searching Google flights. Figured Google was trustworthly so I went ahead and booked my flight through their site. Should have trusted my gut and known this was too good to be true. A few hours after completing checkout, I get a call from Globehunters stating they were not able to confirm my flight as the price went up $50. The suggested that I rebook on another flight for $230 more. I declined and asked that my order be canceled as the original agreement could not be met. I checked the price of the flight on the Alaska airlines site and the price did not increase. They were lying through their teeth... Agent kept pushing the more expensive flight and eventually let me cancel stating the confirmation for the cancelation would be sent in a few hours. 6 hours later, still no email. I called back and they are "unable to find my order." DO NOT ORDER THROUGH THIS SITE. Poor customer service, and dishonest practice. Save yourself the headache and chargeback your credit card so you don't have to deal with these scammers. read more

Terrible company. Tried to change our flights after two deaths in the family and they wanted to charge us double the cost than booking directly with the airline. When I tried to get a compassionate refund they refused any help at all. Stay away!! read more

Is a clear dodgy scam site. Echoing the experiences of other reviewers I saw Globehunters listed as the lowest cost option for a flight I was looking to take to Rome. I tried to book it through their site but reached a window saying that my payment couldn't be processed (without receiving any notification from my bank), and the page said to call their customer service. When I got on the phone the agent said that the flight was very in demand, and that the ticket I had attempted to buy had sold out from when I started the ticket buying process to booking (note: it was 11pm on a Wednesday night. I found this highly unlikely). He then tried to tell me that he best price he could give me was around twice the price that had been advertised on google, and more expensive than if I went through the Air Italia website myself. Their goal is clearly to try get you on the phone and then jack up the prices in a way that makes it feel much more urgent. Also, an addendum which adds to the sketchiness is that earlier in the day I had opened up the window for the flight and had put in my information, just to see how much things would cost, and comparing it to another flight option I had. Of note is that I had not actually submitted payment yet, but I then get a call from a number in Miami, who then left a voicemail saying that my payment had been declined and then please to call back. This was the first sign that something was weird, because as mentioned I had yet to even submit the payment, so how could it decline? This makes it clear to me that the way the page is set they don't actually have you go through a payment or booking process and just default to declining the payment (and in this case, the agent jumped the gun a bit). read more

How this company still display in google flight, they use data to cheat google as they can provide better price once you pay, it will automatically says your payment is not go through let you call them and try to sell much more expensive ticket to you after you call. this is illegal. cause they do it in purpose, not because the payment not go through, it is just a standard message for all, so they cheat. read more

Don't use this website. They show the cheapest prices on Google Flights, then you go ahead and put all of your information on their website only to see that the payment doesn't go through. Then they call you or you call them to check the payment status and this is when they tell you that it didn't go through but they can try booking the flight again on the phone. And surprise! now it's way more expensive. Google Flight should NOT be sourcing information from this scam of a service. read more

CLOSE TO SCAM! They advertise a lower price and then when we book, they say payment is declined and ask to call them. When we call, they say that price is not available and need to pay more. What a scam! read more

They should be banned from Google. If I say a couple of bad words now I may loose my Google account, but Globehunters continue to receive all but one 1 star review, use deceptive tactics and yet they continue to enjoy an influx of potential victims through their exposure on Google. Beware: Globehunters are not alone. Other companies are operating on absolutly identical model: you place the order online, there is a glitch with the CC but miraculously the payment eventually goes through, they call you within minutes to say that the price you wanted to book is no longer available, then they offer you a more expensive flight, you refuse, you want your money back and then the nightmare of the refund begins. They might even tell you that they can't refund your money. They all graduated from the same scamming school. read more

They showed the lowest price on Google search. When I tried to book it said error occurred pls call xxxxxxxx. I did, and was shocked to learn they declined my credit card bc "it's an in-demand flight" In order to secure my booking I had to extra $100?!? I hang up on them right away! read more

AVOID THIS SCAM!! They let you book online, then call you and tell you the price went up AFTER they already confirmed your booking! Don't be sucked in by the lower price, it's fake. Book directly thru the airline or at least somewhere reputable. I can't believe Google is allowing them to show up in Google flights results. read more

Scammers....should have read review before I confirmed the order. Bought Standard economy, and they sold basic economy. Tons of excuse to services. Order somewhere else, and skip the headache. read more

Not a good company! The first charge didn't go through they said they would contact me in 10 mins and it was an emergency booking they never called back so I booked with a different company and then they still charged my card! read more

I had the same experience as others. Booked a flight and there was a "glitch" in processing my CC. I immediately received a call pushing me to purchase upgrades. After a firm NO, the guy said the booking would go through. I checked the bank and nothing was processed. I called Globehunters and spoke with three people. I was told the "glitch" was cleared. Attempted to rebook and nothing. Every person there was only interested in upgrading. The connection to Globehunters came through a reputable source. Please do not waste your time with these cons. They claim a 98% customer satisfaction rate! Hahahahahaha read more

Review from an Australian Customer. I recently used their website to book a ticket via skyscanner. After I paid for the fare from Melbourne to Paris with Singapore Airlines I was emailed and contacted that that fare was no longer available. They offered me an alternative fare with Qantas and kept assuring me that the e-ticket was on the way. Despite over 8 phone calls and emails and e-ticket was never issued a week later. I know realise that they were waiting for the funds to clear on their end and not be "Authorisation Only" on my banks end. Today I was notified that my credit card has been used in fraudulent activity in the US and had to cancel my card. Do not use them because they are cheaper, go directly to an airline. read more

Scam fraud. I spent a whole day wasting time so they can try to charge me more. Couldn't even get my CC to work. I am horrified they have my CC and contact info read more

Stay far away from Globehunters travel agency! I thought I would save $400 on a flight. I didn't think to research the travel agency. After I bought my ticket, and agent called me to tell me I could only have one bag checked for free and the additional one would be $162. I told the agent I would go ahead and consolidate my things into one bag after he tried hard to have me pay the additional fee. He then said it was no problem and they would make an exception this time. When I reached the airline, they said that was totally bogus. There was a change in visa requirements and I had to get a visa before taking my flight. The visa wasn't issued in time to make the flight so I asked Globehunters to book me on a later flight. They basically refused to book another flight unless it was three times the price with an additional $200 change fee. I asked them for a refund and they said they would get back to me, and I booked with another airline. Globehunters did a dance with me for literally five months needing to speak to this manager and that manager, have me free the ticket with the airline, ultimately saying they couldn't give me credit or refund and I would have to take it up with the airline. United airlines said that my ticket was a highly restricted bulk fare and I would have to take it up with the travel agency. A wonderful manager at United named Rajesh stepped in once I showed him the scam that was going on and issued me a credit for another flight. Again, Globehunters make a business of buying bulk tickets from the airlines and keeping any fares that have to be changed for any reason. It's 100% a scam!!!!!!! read more

Useless scammers. They just take your info through their website and have us call them to book higher priced tickets. AVOID!!

I would give a 0 if I could they are over charging once booked. I purchased additional insurance to be able to change dates of needed I'm currently in Germany needing to go back to USA and can't get no one to help me change my ticket. Such a sketchy company went from 1700 to 2700 ticket with better business bureau and reporting to airlines how they are scamming customers. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. THEY ARE VERY IRRESPONSIBLE AND POSSIBLY SCAMMERS! I wish I could give these people 0 stars but one is the lowest I can go. I purchased Delta and Avianca airline tickets with a connection to Latin America about 6 months ago. I thought I was good to go until I happened to check and try to confirm my flight a couple of weeks before my flight, only to realize that I could not confirm my flight, meaning my flight had been canceled. I am guessing the airline notified them but they never notified me. I had to scramble to find another tickets just a few days before my flight dates as I could not cancel my plans. They kept stalling for time asking to wait 24 to 48 hours everytime I called them but never offered any real solutions. Finally they said that "I" had cancelled my own flight!, which only infuriated my. How and why would I do that and then have to buy last minute, over expensive tickets. Long story short, I lost all my money. They refused to reimburse my credit card. They asked for my bank account information but I don't think they are trustworthy enough for me to give them that information. I am so frustrated. I lost my money and wasted so much time. read more

Company are a joke!! They ring you after booking saying the fare has increased and they want more money! When you refuse to pay they won't refund you! AVOID AVOID AVOID!! read more

THE WORST COMPANY!!! They deserve zero stars My wife and I performed a google search on travel, while planning a trip. Several companies appeared (as always) and we chose the flights we wanted. The company offering these flights (our dates & times we wanted) was Globe Hunters. We chose them and booked our flight reservations (this was October of 2023 and our trip was April 2024). We arrived at a hotel next to our airport the night before we departed. When we went to check in, we saw that our outbound flight was canceled so we called Globe Hunters. They said they were notified by the airline in Decmber of 2023 of this cancelation, but they never notified us. They stated they sent an email in March 2024 to us, an email we never received. We asked them to resend this notification email and they said they couldn't w/out explanation...we asked them for help rebooking and they said the only available flight was the next day in the afternoon, 1st class only ($10,000 for these tickets). That was all they could do for us for in 24 hours or less but gave us similar flight in 48 hours, that was it...this company, Globe Hunters, is absolutelty horrible and would never use them again, what a clown show. "Caveat Emptor" to anyone using them, even if you save a couple hundred bucks, its not worth it. We had to cancel tours (could get those back, fully booked) and we lost our money on hotels, all after being on the phone, literally all night trying to piece together everything we had booked. We worked with airline directly but we lost 2 days, those tours and no refunds on hotel...these folks are incompetent at best---again, "Caveat Emptor" with Globe Hunters John, CA read more

Do not use it. It posted low price, get your information, and trap you to call back. The price will be go up a lots. Google flight should ban this website read more

Wow, this place is so shady. I found them through Google Flights and stupidly thought that would be trustworthy. I bought two tickets from San Francisco to Shanghai. The next day they called and tried to tell me that the flight was full and that they couldn't book the flight. But they "offered" to get me on another flight for $200 more. I declined and told them to not process the order since I could just book it with the airlines for a couple hundred dollars more. He said he would call me back to see what other deals he could get. Without calling me back they booked me for the flight at the original price and they sent me the e-tickets and charged my credit card for the full amount. I was a bit skeptical but I called the airline and gave them my confirmation number to check if everything was legit. They looked it up and confirmed that a seat was assigned and a ticket was issued. With that I felt confident everything was done. Now fast forward 6 weeks later, 3 days before my flight I decided to start my online check-in but the airlines website says it can't find the confirmation number anymore. So I called the airline directly and the airlines told me that the confirmation number was voided. I asked them when it was voided and I was told that it was voided a week after it was booked. So I called Globehunters and asked them why they can't find my ticket and they first told me I cancelled it, which was false, then put me on hold again and told me the ticket was not confirmed, but I have their email showing it was confirmed. Then they try to say that since I didn't call them back with full payment I caused the cancellation, except I have my Chase statement pulled up which shows they charged the entire amount and never credited me anything. Now I have 48 hours to scramble for another seat. I've learned my lesson, never go with GLOBEHUNTERS or any other online fly-by-night travel agents (even if you're directed to them from Google) read more

From google flights search, this website have the cheapest price. Trust pilot 74% 5 star review.. hmmm... Tried to book an international flight, before purchase, it says checked baggage included, but it does not say how many. Give them a call. A typical scammer from India answered and told me that upon checking with his holiness, this does not include any checked in luggage, only carry on luggage, while I'm looking right in front of my screen in their website it says "checked in luggage included". For almost the same price, other websites such as Trip.com, Oojo, even the airline website itself with clear description, it already includes 2 checked in luggage. How pathetic is that. Another smart fella from Aussie have the same experience and it checks out. Stay away from these scamming motha fu****s. You've been warned. If you're really hard headed and thinks this business have a soul, make sure you give them a call and confirm everything before proceeding with your credit card purchase. Once you hit that purchase button, it's gone. Sayonara to your hard earned money and these decepticons will thrive and sing "easy money, another one bites the dust". And I don't need your "we're truly sorry" reply, because we all know you're not. read more

Bait-and-switch scheme. Slightly lower than average prices should have been a red flag but I tried anyways. After bumping into an issue during the booking process I received a call explaining the reason being the passengers being unaccompanied minors and the need to check with the airline (policy). Returning from this (likely pretentious) confirmation hold being told that the original price was for a child (that airline doesn't have children fares) and somehow they needed to pay adult prices. That's total BS as the price was always the same from the start of the search throughout booking, i.e. ALWAYS adult ticket fare. Gave the agent and earful for malicious business practices and had the entire process cancelled. They straight up lie, I wouldn't be able to put it any other way. I'm sure you can purchase regular priced tickets from them, so they don't have any leg up compared to any other discount airfare website. I wish they would be more truthful sooner and "surprise" me with the real price ahead of going through the trouble of booking and putting down my CC. That's the truly upsetting part and my reason for this poor rating. read more

worst company i booked my ticket with them and after 2 hours received a call from global hunters that my ticket is being cancel by the airline as i am travelling in emergency this is such a big scam and now i am waiting for my refund . And there customer service shut the phone on me aswell . read more

I was searching flights on skyscaner, and this "Globehunters" shows the cheapest price for the flight. When I was ready to purchase the tickets, I had a question about the fee of the checking bags, I called them. So glad I called and found how terrible their services are. 1st time called, and were hold for 10 minutes, and got hanged up, then I called again, this time a man picked up my phone. Not only he has a heavy accent, but while he is talking he is chewying a gum. it made me so hard to understand what he is saying...It's annoying, but I thinkg "ok, i can deal with it, as long as i get this deal with clear answer on the the checked bags." I repeat my questions three times, but he cannot get it. at the end he told me hold on, and back in 5 minutes and told me to contact the airline directly to get the answer.....After I confirmed there is nothing he knows, i finally gave up and hanged up the phone. I called the airline by myself and not only get the clear answer, but got a cheaper price for the flights. customer service PLEASE. If you do not speak English well, or have accent, it is ok. However, you have to have a right attitude when you service people. I will NEVER EVER book any flights from this "Globehunters". it's just so frustrated and not worth it..... (can you imagine if you have some series issue that you need them to help after you booked your flight with them? you are screwed for sure) read more

Run far and fast. Horrible service - after waiting on hold for 10-15 min you get hung up on. It may be a cheap flight but you get the customer service you pay for which is nil. read more

I first came across Globehunters by doing a Google search, first impression was the prices were a bit too low for a flight to Istanbul, but I thought, why not let me just call them and see, and to say the least I was surprised to find out that they actually were that cheap. I booked them right away and got the email confirmation within a few hours, I was over the moon with the price I paid, I will definitely go back and use them again. read more

Horrible experience. Had a small typo in the ticket and they weren't able to help me with it. Stay away from using their service. read more

I wanted to book transatlantic flights for me and two colleagues for a work trip. We had issues booking on the website, so I called them up. The person I spoke to was speaking very broken English, which made things complicated, but OK. While on the phone, the prices for the flights we wanted had gone up apparently (by ~£40 already!), but we still went through most of the process. At the end of the conversation, we agreed that we'd get all the information in an email (I didn't trust the difficult communication, and also needed to check with work whether we could spend more than anticipated) and only when we'd confirm, the booking would be made. We did receive an email, unfortunately the finance department wasn't getting back to us yet so I emailed them "I cannot confirm yet, would it be possible to hold this for a few hours" - "We cannot guarantee you the same fares but we will try to hold this for you as long as possible". Seemed fair to me. Oddly, ~20 minutes after that I received an automated email, "your booking is now confirmed". I called the company, of course the person I had spoken to before had already left for the day, and no one there was able to help me. The next day, I spoke to someone from the finance department as I requested this be cancelled immediately (given that I hadn't confirmed the booking and everything was starting to sound very dodgy already!) The phone call I had with him may have been the most unpleasant phone call I've ever had with a company. He first spent 30 minutes trying to convince me that I was wrong and did consent and had confirmed the booking; only after much arguing and bringing out all the email correspondence I was able to convince him. When he finally gave in, he wanted to charge me £15 for costs that they made - which I found preposterous, and fortunately he was relatively easily convinced. In the mean time, (I'm paraphrasing here) he did tell me that I was stupid on multiple occasions. And intentionally gave me incorrect information about how I could get my money back (fortunately I had already spoken to the bank prior to the phone call and was able to shut him up quickly). In the end, I got my money back - but it was a hellish nightmare process to get that to happen. Please, everyone, stay as far away from this company as you can - they have the most terrible support imaginable and very sketchy practices. read more

Really poor service. Used boiler room techniques. Price was a few hundered quid more than quoted online, the trick is to gert you to call so they can work out how much to catch you for. very rude. poor communication. please avoid. read more

Beware of this company! The ticket I attempted to purchase online in business class was sold to me as an economy flight. I took a picture of their flight description on the website before I booked the flight. When I got the confirmation, the flight was listed as an economy flight instead of business class. I contacted the company and they said their was nothing they could do because that is what the airline issued. I told them that I had a photo that could prove their website advertised the fares as business class and the representative argued with me that I was wrong. I offered to send him the photo but he was not interested in seeing it. In the end the only help they could give me was to cancel the flight and return my money. Very frustrating! read more

The customer support of this company is lacking. Made an online booking for a CONUS flight and everything from the bank side was good to go. Then we recieved an e-mail from the Globehunters stating that it was not approved. I contacted the 877 number and was told that it was an automated process and that they were unable to assist. Then they said I could go back online and try to rebook. When I asked what I needed to do to assure their acceptance of my payment, they could not tell/help me, but merely pointed back to trying again. read more
