I purchased five round-trip tickets from Tarifasodeal for $1,866.96 for a flight from Washington to Istanbul, departing March 26 and returning April 6. Only after payment was I told the price did not include checked-in bags. When I asked if I could pay for the bags at the airport, I was told I could not, and I was also informed that cancellation was not allowed—even though I requested it less than an hour after purchase. Later, an agent, apparently located in the UAE or India, tried to sell me a more expensive fare for alternate dates, from March 25 to April 5, that included only carry-on bags.
When I contacted Turkish Airlines, I learned that Tarifasodeal purchased my tickets from them after charging my credit cards $3,198.66, for a total ticket cost of about $2,600, pocketing the remaining $598.66. In addition, Tarifasodeal charged my credit cards under the name “Turkish Airlines” instead of their own. The entire process was deceptive, non-transparent, and based on trickery.
Attached are the supporting documents.
