Fake airline sites and lookalike booking pages

Fake airline sites and lookalike booking pages

Scammers copy an airline’s colors and a stock photo of a cabin. They buy a domain that looks close enough on a phone. They rank ads for “cheap [airline] tickets.” You think you are on the carrier. You are not. The card charges. The PNR never appears in the real airline’s manage-booking.

How to check

Read the full URL, not the logo. Prefer continuing from a comparison search you started, not from a social ad. After purchase, immediately look up the record locator on the real airline site — typed by you. If it does not exist, you have a problem, not a ticket.

Travel sites versus fakes

Real travel sites are companies with public terms, a working customer number, and a confirmation that the airline can see (sometimes after a delay). Fakes have a Gmail address and a countdown clock. If you reached checkout from Azurovia, you should still verify the domain. We list sellers on live results; we do not operate their sites.
