Title: aBitSky.com - have anyone tried?
Post by: johny1976 on September 07, 2017, 01:39:03 AM
Hi,

I just bought a flight ticket through aBitSky.com but the more I search about this site the more it seems to me like a f* scam.

I called them and some guy (who had very poor english) answered the call, he knew about my order and everything but kept saying he couldn't see my transaction. At that time the TX had already over 7 confirmations. They're also not responding to my emails and even to contact form on their page.

I think I've done a stupid mistake.

Will inform you later on how this turns out.

For now I'm stuck in fucking London because my CC limit is exceeded and the only possibility for me is to use Bitcoin. What a bad situation.

Hey any update about your experience? Hope you are safe and back home. I tried to look for a honest review on them. I found one which is a year ago. Hope you didn't went the same route as this guy.

Thanks for giving us a heads up. Probably will take more years before we can really say that airline industry has fully adopted bitcoin as payment method. Is on its way, but still on the infancy stage. Here's there ANN thread here:

Maybe when you can go back online. You can also share your full experience on their ANN thread. But obviously it looks dead by now.

Hey,

they eventually sent me the flight ticket, so it's definitely not a spam.

But it wasn't much usable as I needed to be sure I'll get home, so I had to bought a normal flight ticket. aBitSky eventualy sent me the ticket few hours before departure, so I couldn't be sure. Lost money for me, but the ticket was delivered, so for anyone having concerns, this company seems legit to me. They have just very bad customer service.

Hello @johny1976
I want to buy flight tickets with Btc and want to ask you about time until the Abitsky delivered you the ticket after you order it. Thank you very much.

Not recommended.

Tickets are 20% higher on their website and they also don't refund even if you paid for cancellation option.

The company is full of scam.

I had 2 problems with them already and after this will never use them again!

It's unfortunate people who are very much in travel need a site like this, they need to travel and at the same time spend their cryptocurrency, do we have a similar site like this may be in the future airlines will offer an ICO and launch their own token, to be used in their airlines.

Lmao. You call getting your ticket "eventually" not a scam?

Hmmpfh....

Getting and being assured that you will receive your ticket on time seems like kind of a big deal to me, especially if you're paying a premium of 20%. I for one wouldn't be the one on the airport doubting whether or not some tech support dude will send me my ticket in time..

Or how about...-hear this-,, you just buy a goddamn ticket using fiat money? You don't need to make an ICO for everything. Jesus christ.

Well, it might not be a scam, but you definitely waste your money on this site, for literally nothing. They should have given you a refund in my opinion. Do you ask for a refund? I really interested to see their response if you ask for a refund. I believe the amount is not small for a plane ticket.
They not just having bad customer service, but their whole service is bad though.

By the way, at least your post make people aware of this site, I would never use this site, and never recommend to anyone.
