Fareporto a fraudulent and dishonest company.
They use bait and switch tactics. I purchased an online ticket, June 29, 2025, for $138.38. The booking number was LJMXXX and the trip itinerary was for Santa Rosa, California to San Diego, California on July 5, 2025. I received a call several hours later stating that the flight was full for the discounted fare and I could upgrade to full fare to fly on the date I booked. The Price went from $138.38 to $468.00. For this reason I call Fareporto a bait and switch company. I was offered other options of flying in or out of a remote airport and/or different travel dates. This call occurred less than four hours after the initial purchase and I requested a full refund. The company representative was very rude and stated no refund could be issued for the charges. I called the next day and spoke to supervisor, Jeff Morgan to make sure a refund was forthcoming. Again, I was told no refund was available on this type of ticket purchase, but I could pay more and get on the booked flight. The charge would have been more than what the airline would have charged for the booking. I was informed that I had been rebooked for July 15, 2025, ten days later.
Today, July 5,2025, the day for the original flight departure booking, I received an email stating that they were sorry but my booking was cancelled at the airlines (American Airlines) directive and that there had been no charges on my card. Fareporto offered a fraudulent statement as there was never a booking placed with American Airlines. Their claim that the booking was cancelled at the airlines directive is dishonest.
Thankfully I booked a different ticket through a reputable company so I could take my trip on the date planned.
Fareporto has gives dishonest representation and has poor
customer service. It is my plan to report them to the Better Business Bureau and to American Airlines.
