NC woman’s experience serves as warning when looking for cheap summer flights: ‘Nonrefundable’

A summer travel warning if you’re looking for cheap airfare online, be careful what you click on as it could end up costing you.

When it comes to summer travel options, there are a lot out there, especially many deals online, but before you put in any payment information, you need to do your research. Connie Batchelor who lives in Raleigh learned the hard way on her quest to find the best airfare to attend her grandson’s graduation in Shreveport. She said she first did a Google search for cheap airfare.

“There was a website (that) popped up that had about six or eight different sites that you could click on and look at their prices,” Batchelor said.

Batchelor said she clicked on the website Bestticketfare.

“I went ahead and put our card on there and found the dates and everything. The ticket was very, sounded reasonable. I put submit and normally when you do that, the next page it shows up is a recap or a confirmation of everything and gives you all the details and we got none of that.”
