“I bought a ticket from Madrid to Tel Aviv going through Turkey. The arrival and departure on Turkey was on the same airport. A couple of weeks after buying the ticket I got an email from Kiwi informing me 'the airline' changed the tickets this time arriving to a different airport (70 km away) from the one the flight departs from. Since the connection is 2 hours long, of course I will not be able to make it if I need to change airports. When I received the email I was half asleep and apparently clicked on 'accept' when reading about the great news. Now this, according to kiwi, holds me liable and if I want to get the flight which I originally purchased, I must pay an extra $300. So now this discount airline provider will become more expensive to me than having bought from a normal place to begin with. Their customer service is useless, I got no solution from them. Do not buy there, they will deceive you so they can charge you more money in the end. I I could place 0 stars I would!”

“Misleading information and horrible customer service They offer risky trip combinations with no cabin or checked-in luggage options which is a set-up for failure, and they don't offer any customer support. Horrible experience, stay away.”

“Their agent misunderstood information I passed to him which resulted in unlawful additional fee for something that airlines do for free. When I noticed I was tricked I tried to get refund but their support is playing a straight bat, pretending they do not know anything about that fee.”

“I booked a flight from Tijuana through Mexico City and San Salvador to Managua. These unprofessional and incompetent people created one Kiwi Reservation, but with three airline reservation codes. They made separate booking codes for the two connecting Avianca flights. Avianca then at check in were not able to tag the bags all the way to Managua. The bags had to be collected in San Salvador, and then rechecked, except there was only a 50 minute layover so we missed the flight to Managua. NEVER BOOK WITH THESE FOOLS AGAIN”

“DON'T USE THIS SITE TO BUY YOUR PLANE TICKET, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE 24 HOUR GRACE PERIOD THE OTHER COMPANIES HAVE. ALL THE AGENCIES HAVE A 24 HOUR GRACE PERIOD, BUT THIS ONE DOES NOT. SECOND TIME I USE THIS SITE AND FOR SURE IT IS THE LAST TIME. IT IS VERY CLOSE TO AN SCAM. NO LIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I AM COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED.”

“We booked through a 3rd party. Kiwi.com. Firstly, we were surprised to find that kiwi.com had booked our reservation through United Airlines as FOUR SEPERATE reservations instead of one! Our connecting flight was rescheduled, making it so we would need to be put on another flight. Kiwi.com charged us £680.19 to change the flight to the following day. Kiwi.com had told us that UNITED AIRLINES had cancelled the flight, therefore leaving us with only 2 options. To cancel and get a refund of $100 or pay £680.19 for the next available connecting flight. We paid kiwi.com £680.19. Today, Kiwi.com then announced to us, that our flight from Amarillo to Denver was also cancelled. Kiwi.com gave us 2 choices. To pay £340 to get the next available flight, or a refund of $100. Due to frustration, we contacted United Airlines directly. After 4 phone calls and speaking to 4 different members of United Airlines staff, ( who were very sympathetic and extremely helpful), we were informed we should not have been charged and a refund was given to kiwi.com. Kiwi.com refuse to acknowledge that United Airlines issued a refund. And refuse to answer why they charged us £680.19 for a flight that United Airlines would have NOT CHARGED US FOR. United Airlines then modified our re scheduled flight to a more convenient one the day before at no cost. Kiwi.com have intentionally booked our reservations separately, knowing that any amendments that were to be made, they could charge us for, and claim refunds back from United Airlines. I have kept all correspondence from kiwi.com. Please may I also add, that this makes United Airlines look BAD, and if we had not had contacted United Airlines directly, we would have been none the wiser. We do feel that, SOMEONE should stand by the general public. Today we went onto trust pilot, and found it a disgrace, on the amount of negative and frightening stories that Kiwi.com have. The general public need someone to stop them from doing this to them! It clearly is illegal, they are charging us for something that has been given to them free of charge. I truly hope that United Airlines can at least have them removed from skyscanner, as this is having and will have, a HUGE impact on United Airlines reputation”

“It was my first time experience using Kiwi.com because of relatively good price, but will be the last time too! They kept changing my airplane till it fell to a bad departure time(5 am). I was not allowed to make any changes since I purchased saver tickets. This company is based in Brno, not USA. I would never use kiwi.com again!”

“Voucher sent by kiwi has no monetary value according to TAP so is useless. No response from kiwi to countless emails, booking no. invalid according to the automatic phones in UK and Portugal. Not worth the 1 star as customer service is non existent. Got full refund from easyJet for the return flight. Don't EVER use kiwi!”

“⚠️ EXPOSING Kiwi.com - READ THIS ⚠️ 2 years ago, my wife and I were planning a trip to Australia. We booked our flight before the pandemic and as the world shut down in March, we were not able to go. We booked our tickets through 2 websites... Kiwi.com for the way there and Gotogate for the return. A few months after the shut down, I contacted both websites to get my refunds. Gotogate processed a full refund in July 2020. However it's now been 2 years and I will haven't got anything from Kiwi.com yet. I followed up regularly, and I have been told that Hawaiian Airlines rejected the refund request, and that they haven't heard back from Delta Airlines. I eventually filed a complaint on the Department of Transporting website to sort this out as I wasn't getting anywhere on my own. The DOT contacted the airlines, and they both got back to me directly. I found out Delta refunded Kiwi.com in November 2020, and Hawaiian Airlines refunded them in February 2021. Kiwi.com fed me lies for 2 years when they had MY MONEY on their account. After complaining to them, they are offering me a partial refund as a credit of their website. What a joke, how can they expect me to use their horrible service ever again. I have screenshots of all the messages... I will share only a couple here to show I'm telling the truth. STAY AWAY FROM Kiwi.com. THEY ARE LIERS.”

“Terrible. DO NOT USE THEM. I’m still waiting for my refund 2 years on. I am still fighting for my thousands of dollars. You cannot speak to anyone unless you have a flight within 14 days.”

“Please don’t use this kiwi.com agency. They are a total scam! You gonna end up paying way more money. They changed your flight time frequently before departure that make you have to change it back or change the flight. You can’t changed whatever they made unless you pay new ticket. They give the reason as the carrier changed the flight schedule, it’s a lie!!! I had to changed my flight twice and pay triple than my original booking. Please please be aware. When you call the operator, you will realized that they sound like the people from phone call scammer.”

“NEVER, EVER BOOK A FLIGHT WITH THIS AGENCY! My flight was changed and the alternative provided was extremely inconvenient and more expensive so I cancelled the flight. I never got refunded (not even partially) - even worse I didn't even get an answer when writing to them and asking for the status of my refund!”

“I purchased a flight through Kiwi more than a week ago, but they still haven't booked the flight that I purchased with the airline. I contacted them several times to try to find out what's going on, but all they did was provide me with an invalid reservation number, which is in an incorrect format and which the airline does not recognize. Despite repeated attempts to contact them, they have made no effort to explain or rectify the situation (except for falsely claiming that the flight is a charter flight and that I have to check in at the airport, which is completely untrue). In addition, I contacted the airline directly, and they confirmed that there is no booking with them under my name. Basically, Kiwi just took my money without providing me with the service (or anything) that they promised in return. And what’s worse, by providing an invalid reservation number, they attempted to deceive me into believing that they booked a flight which they clearly did not. I strongly recommend that everyone steer clear of this scam operation, unless you want to be swindled out of hundreds of dollars like I was.”

“Dont book with Kiwi.com I could not board the flight I booked with kiwi.com. They have the worst customer service. It takes ages to get refund and refund is like 15% of the ticket price. Please don't book flights with them.”

“I would like to say so many things about this horrible company that I would not have space to write it. They are thieves, scammers, who take advantage of people, and then hide behind a farce facade, I still don't understand why they haven't closed the business to these scammers. For those who read this message, I advise you not to buy tickets through a company because if you end up canceling the tickets, as happened to me, cancel the tickets an hour after making the reservation and on the website it said that the refund was going to be total and it never was. I made the claim with my bank and even so they deign to make the refund. This is a bitter experience and I would not want it to happen to someone else.”
