SKYAUCTION.COM Changed My Reservation, Just Can't Seem To Fix It Back!

by sweetsue_98 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Aug 05 '01
Pros: Some great travel bargains
Cons: Need to be flexible and know your prices
Updated January 6, 2003

I have been so frustrated with my experience with skyauction that at this point in time, I would hardly recommend them to anyone.

About 10 days ago I contacted all of the places we were staying to reconfirm....

SkyAuction.com -- Help Me, the Sky Is Falling!

by bhweb22 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 26 '01
Pros: Auctions can be a great way to save on travel
Cons: You need sellers to participate so buyers can win
SkyAuction has come a long way since it launched in 1998. It's a traditional auction service where online users can find bargains on air, hotel and package vacations.

They've done a good job redesigning the site. The interface is clean and...

Not just United's Problem

by green97 , Oct 31 '00
Pros: Not that hard to find a good deal
Cons: When something goes wrong: watch out!
UPDATE: I revisited this issue with SkyAuction, 2 years later... and got a pretty thoughtful letter in return finally from the COO. I've pasted that at the bottom of this review. ***
This started out as more of an opinion about United Airlines, but...

SkyAuction holds my money hostage!

Pros: winning a bid at this auction site is elating

Last year I booked a trip through SkyAuction and was happy, despite the fact that it took SkyAuction four days (after being charged the price of the...

Skyauction Sucks! These People Are Unbelievable!!

by jjkimm , Sep 30 '02
I was elated when I won a South African Safari. But it didn't last. First sign of trouble was when they emailed me and told me that my requested dates are not available. I emailed them with my alternate dates, which they acknowledged but said that it...

I bid and won a auction to Cancun and booked for the end of October. Before the auction was confirmed, I started to ask about making changes to the auction, first I wanted to upgrade but as the vacation got closer, I needed to actually request different ...

Didn't lose, but wouldn't gamble again

by jcmaverick , Jan 10 '05
It wasn't until after I had placed several bids on SkyAuction that I read this site and heard the stories. I held my breath and fortunately only won 2 of the auctions. Besides for being frustrating my experience was successful. Here's a few tips for ...

SKYAUCTION is the best for great land deals.

by nomanisland , Oct 11 '05
SKYAUCTION.COM is the best for great land deals. I've never flown on Skyauction and wouldn't suggest it. The customer service simply isn't quick enough for the fluctuating airline market. The air prices themselves aren't generally all that much better ...

It seemed too good to be true. It was.

by murphylexus , Feb 19 '03
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I only wish I had found Epinions before I placed a winning bid at Skyauction.com. Within days of receiving the tickets, I was notified to contact the airline regarding a change. Upon doing so, I...

by diva_marcy , Nov 28 '03
Skyauction was nothing but wonderful for our auction. We bid on a honeymoon, and we did our research beforehand to know how much money we would allow ourselves to spend. The bidding was fun and we booked our all-inclusive stay in the Bahamas for about ...

by kelbit19 , Nov 07 '02
SkyAuction had our money/info 96 hours before departure, yet did not give to Celebrity until 24 hours before departure; names were rejected per US 72 hour law. No one told us. We arrived @ the dock @ noon; they would not let us on the ship. Discovered...

You want a "goat"? Lets Make a Skyauction Deal!

by ev123 , Apr 01 '03
I won a Hawaii vacation that was "Roundtrip West Coast Only" and I live on the East coast. It was OK though I had to purchase tickets, separately, for California. I thought I was getting a good deal. I gave them my travel dates 5 weeks in advance. It...

DECENT DEALS, FAST UNSECURE SHIPPING, MONEY BACK IF DATES UNAVAILABLE

by mh004g , Jan 20 '04
My husband and I wanted a trip to the South Pacific for our honeymoon, but we didn't want a package deal. We just wanted to purchase airfare and the flexibility to book the accommodations ourselves. We ended up bidding on and winning airfare to Fiji ...

Totally happy with Skyauction and vacation in Barbados

by dtamack , Oct 09 '01
Pros: Incredibly low price if you are patient, lots of destinations
Cons: Must give two dates for travel, customer service sometimes hard to get on the phone
Our experience was very good with Skyauction. They worked with us to resolve a problem, and had a great time on the vacation. The write-up on the site was accurate and perfectly represented the destination.

We won an auction, booked a...
