Cheap Tickets Corporate Office

Founded in 1986 in Honolulu, Hawaii, by Michael and Sandra Hartley. Hartley received 3,000 airline tickets as a payment for services and decided to sell them “cheaply” via classified ad’s. After selling these tickets in less than 2 weeks, Hartley began to purchase seats from airlines in advance at a lower price, which he could then resell for slightly more than he paid, while remaining underneath regular airline ticket pricing.

The company launched its first call center in Honolulu in 1987, later opening up centers in Florida, California, and Colorado. This online travel service company was purchased in 2006 by Expedia, Inc.

Today, Cheap Tickets sells airline tickets, car rentals, hotel and vacation rentals, as well as customized vacation packages and cruise trip package deals.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, many people have found it difficult, if not impossible, to receive refunds for flights and a bill designed to change that has been sitting in the Senate since May with zero movement.

The company maintains a corporate office in Honolulu, Hawaii.
