“A+ Customer Service”
Great company to work with! I had a flight that needed to be cancelled due to this awful coronavirus pandemic and really like how Alternative Airlines decided to control the number of calls by restricting contact information until you were within 7 days of your flight. I entered by booking reference # seven days before, immediately got their toll free # and was able to work with their service center resolve my issue. I have purchased tickets through alternative air for several years and will continue to be a customer of theirs in the future.
12th April 2020

“Very good service”
Very good service, even in these difficult times! I had to change three flights, and following their request, I waited until a week before departure to change them.

Thank you very much for your quality service!

18th November 2018

“Prompt and courteous customer service”
Honestly, I rarely leave reviews online for many different reasons but the amazing service that I received from this website compelled me to leave a fantastic review so that others who are looking to use their service can make up their mind.
I stumbled upon this website when I was looking for a website that accepted Discover card as a mode of service and had never heard of this site before. While booking the ticket I did not realize that this is a UK based website which does not have a US customer support number but nonetheless it was not an issue since I got prompt response to my email queries.
The website itself is very clean and easy to navigate through. The flight price might not necessarily be the cheapest but is definitely a good experience to use the website and there are no hidden costs.
Would highly recommend trying this out and not go for other unreliable websites that may save you a few dollars but would leave a bad taste in the mouth if you need to use their customer service/p>
