The Good Stuff
Flight Booking
Several reviewers found ticket booking smooth, prompt and hassle-free, including one emergency booking completed in 18 minutes.
Visa Processing
Reviews report a 60-day multiple-entry visa handled smoothly and an Oman visa processed without hassle.
Tour Itineraries
A Georgia itinerary was praised for covering the entire country, with flights, hotels and hospitality arranged together.
Helpful Service
Customers mention friendly, patient support during ticket, visa and holiday bookings.
Value Fare
One reviewer compared several agencies and found Akbar Travels had the best rate for Dubai–Mumbai travel.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Fare. Before paying, get the final ticket price and confirmation in writing; one reviewer says the agency later requested extra money.
Clarify Refunds. Ask for the refund timeline, responsible department and written status before accepting a cancellation; one promised 14 working days but waited a month.
Check Office. Confirm which branch or channel will support your booking, since reviews say online bookings may not be supported by offline offices.
Allow Buffer. For date changes, ask early and leave time for a reply; one customer received a response the next day when trying to move a same-day flight.
Budget Charges. Ask about payment fees before using a card; a review says card payments attracted a service charge and cash was suggested.
Check Documents. For tourism visas, confirm the required documents against the embassy list before submitting, as one reviewer disputed extra document requests.

The Bottom Line
AKBAR TRAVELS KARAMA in Al Karama handles flight tickets, visit visas and holiday planning. Reviews include smoothly arranged family travel, a 60-day multiple-entry visa, an Oman visa and multi-country trips such as Georgia, Vietnam and Cambodia. Several travellers describe organised itineraries, prompt ticketing and helpful support, including an emergency flight booking completed in 18 minutes.
The experience is not consistent. Recent complaints focus on cancelled-flight refunds that remained unpaid after a month, unanswered emails, slow callbacks and conflicting information. Some customers also say an advertised air-ticket fare changed after booking, with extra money requested before confirmation.
That makes written confirmation especially important. Before paying, ask for the final fare, ticket status, cancellation terms and refund timeline in writing. If you are booking online, confirm which office or support channel will handle follow-up; one review says offline offices could not assist with online bookings.
Visa customers should also check exactly which documents are required. Prices mentioned in reviews include AED 1050 for a Dubai–Kozhikode ticket and 1750 AED for a 90-day visa plus Bahrain flights, but these are historical customer examples rather than current quotes.
