“This company is the worst. Do not trust this company. I used this company to book a flight from San Francisco to Ushuaia, Argentina. I chose this company because it was the most affordable option (mistake! ) When they booked my trip they used four different airlines to get me from San Francisco to Ushuaia, Argentina (SF to Panama, Panama to Chile, Chile to Buenas Aires Argentina, Buenas aires to Ushuaia). When traveling internationally you need to check in at least 1.5 hour to 2 hr before. Kiwi booked us international trips with not enough layover time to get our bags and re check them with the new airline. We missed the connecting flight and were stuck in Buenas Aires. We called Kiwi and asked for them to help us. They charged us an additional $1300 to re book our flight. They said it was our fault for missing our flight but it was their fault booking separate flights with short layovers. When we went to the ticket counter to board our new flight that we just paid $1300 for, the airline said that our names were not on this flight and that this company booked us on an already full flight!! Yes.. i repeat, they asked us to pay additional $1300 and booked us on a flight that was completely full. I had to think quick and ended up calling my bank saying someone stole my card and to stop the payment to Kiwi. We ended up needing to buy an entire new flight directly with United Airlines. I recommend to NEVER EVER use Kiwi to book flights. Pay extra and just book with an airline directly. Absolutely awful experience. This company should be shut down. Additionally: On the way to ushuai, argentina it said the trip would take approx 30 hours to get there ... it ended up taking 57 hours and we even had to take a bus from one airport to another airport. We would get off the plane and they would update our itinerary or send us an email "im sorry you missed your flight , etc etc." happened on the way to argentina and on the way back home to SF”

“Kiwi.com is a scamI bought two tickets to Larnaca and the time of the flight changed overnight from 8:30 to 7:00. They didn't notify us so when we arrived to the check-in desk at 6:00 they had already closed. Another couple went through the same problem that day.Then the customer service promised us that they would compensate that horrible experience with a miserable 50€ voucher. I am still waiting to get any compensation or to hear from the customer service again. I have even deleted the data of my credit card, I no longer trust such an unreliable and manipulative company.”

“Never had such a terrible and stressful experience. Will never ever come close to them. Flight that, meant to be cheaper ended up being the same as business class with reputable airline. Firstly hussle of getting out at every destination and going through the endless ques atregistration process. To be able to exit and print the next boarding pass had to obtain a visa. Luggage allowance is equal to luggage weight. Travelling from north country to Asia and wearing warm clothes set up immediately ended up in luggage overweight. Making registration workers very happy to charge you at maximum for every single flight. No flexibility whatsoever. As kiwi is just an agent they, do not bear any, responsibility for anything, they just take money. So think twice do you really want a travel full of stress, expenses and hussle?!”

“They scam you. Got my flight changed last minute. Not just a few hours but more than 24hr layovers. I applied for a refund and didn’t get my money back. Directly called the airline and they said the booking details i was given didn’t exist”

“Just recently I have experienced the worst company to ever book me some flights. I was supposed to take a flight back home when apparently when I made the purchase for the flight, the transaction for my payment supposedly didn’t go through the other airlines and I have have called them exactly 12 times to solve my issue when I was in person to do my check in and the only thing the people on call would tell is wait for 5 mins. I ended waiting 45 mins and I ended up losing my flight because of them. they have not ever gave me a call back or an email. This is one of the worst websites to ever trust flights and I do not recommend these people as they are very irresponsible and not helpful to their customers. Thank you for being useless!!”

“I experienced severe service issues with your app, resulting in over €400 in extra expenses. Despite a delayed flight, your team's advice was unhelpful, with non-functional contact numbers and ignored requests for alternative assistance. The app falsely indicated my flight cancellation, causing further confusion. Misguided information and lack of timely responses exacerbated the situation, leading to significant financial loss and inconvenience.”

“Awful airline, Bookend a return flight with them. As one of the legs got canceled by the airline they submitted cancelation for the entire trip without my permission. I was informed there is no refund. I explained that I never asked to cancel the entire trip and would like to go on the flights I paid for that are not canceled. They said it's too late. I contacted the airline directly and they confirmed that kiwi are wrong. My flight is not canceled and I can take it. I contacted kiwi again and they again claim that they can not undo a cancelation! But the flight is not canceled!!!!”

“I booked and paid for a roundtrip flight from Miami to Boston. 2 weeks later Kiwi.Com notified me that the first leg of the flight was cancelled by the Airline. They offered me a bait and switch flight instead that took an extra 31 hours and cost nearly $200 more. I asked for a refund and they said that I wasn't entitled to a refund, but that they would give me a $10 voucher for a future flight. They were committing Fraud. I filed a claim with Paypal and Paypal ruled in my favor and took my stolen money back from KIWI.COM. BEWARE OF KIWI.COM. They tried to steal my money and thankfully Paypal got my money back from these Criminals.”

“I would like to write a negative review because i had bad experience booking a flight from Barcelona to Orly last week. Myself and my family booked a flight via their website and we paid for the flight as well the luggage's. While doing the check in the agent in the airport counter said that in their system they don't have the luggage and they've asked me to pay 155 Euro for the 3 luggage's. They are even surprised when they saw the booking confirmation that I have the luggage's and in their system they don't have it. first , I objected and because the boarding is getting closer, the lady asked me to pay and after to claim from the agency and I had no option because I have 2 kids with me . So I paid. While claiming back the money refund with Kiwi.com , i send the claim form and i received an immediate below generic negative response refusing to refund the money " " Hi Mohamed, We are contacting you regarding your reservation 465009281. We understand that you are requesting a refund for your reservation. However, upon checking with the airline, we see that we have successfully added all the baggage for your flight from Barcelona to Paris. Unfortunately, we cannot process any refund for the baggage fee that was charged to you at the airport. Please be informed that in case the passengers do not follow the allowed dimensions or weight allowance of their baggage specified on their e-ticket, Kiwi will not provide any compensation for expenses connected to these violations. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our Customer Support. Thank you for understanding. Kind regards, Jesha L. Claims Specialist Kiwi.com”

“Kiwi.com told us of a cancelled flight but failed to tell us that this cancellation was associated with our return flight as well. Therefore, we ended up paying for two new plane tickets, one was bought at the gate at the airport, and an extra night at a hotel. Customer service has been useless and very difficult to get a hold of. I have talked them through LiveChat, attempted email and called multiple times (which was hard because their phone number changed). Paid way more for our trip then if I had used a more reliable company.”

“Terrible service. Do not use their services. The airline canceled the flight before departure, they refused to refund me and I couldn't even do it myself if I didn't want to lose "airport services". When I missed my flight due to their planning error and they wanted to deport me from the country, their "services at the airport" said that they were missing and argued. Kiwi absolved himself of responsibility. They said they couldn't help me and wanted to deport me from the country.”
