Review: My family booked round trip flights from San Francisco to Manila, Philippines. While in the Philippines' NAIA Airport on our way back to the US, my 1 year old daughter had an [redacted] and was advised by Korean Air personnel to get checked by a doctor first before flying. Long story short, we had to buy new sets of tickets from a different airline to get back to the US on time. Korean Air told us that out tickets are eligible for a refund but since we booked through Cheapoair then we need to go through this company to get our money back. I called them and they said I needed a Refund Form from Korean Air before they can do anything. They said this will need to come from manila, from the people who told us not to fly, which is already frustrating because reaching people in Manila from the US is already an inconvenience. Secondly, they are the ones with the relationship with Korean Air and the lady from Korean Air told me that if we continue to have problems with the refund then call them again for help.
I called Korean Air here in the US and they said that they have never given a "Refund Form" to anyone, because it has never been their practice or policy. Korean Air asked me to do a 3-way call with them and Korean Air to easily sort this out but the Cheapoair agent refused to do so. He ssaid that due to security purposes, he will need to put me on hold, talk to the Korean Air agent, and talk to me again. I let him do this, and he said that the refund department of Korean Air is closed and that I needed to call on a weekday, business hours.
Today I called them again and I am still on the phone with them as I type this complaint. I've been on the phone for 1 hour 55 minutes. First the lady agent said that the last guy I talked to is "taking care of it", and when I asked for a [redacted], she said no one is available because they're on the phone. I asked her to do a 3-way call with me and Korean Air and she said the same thing the other agent said, that she'll have to call Korean Air first then talk to me afterwards. She now tells me I won't get any refund because the airline fee for me, my husband and my baby cost more than the tickets themselves.
I told her that the baby shouldn't get charged because we didn't purchase a ticket for her in the first place, she was gonna sit on my lap during the flight. When I asked her to give me the breakdown of the charges and the supposed refund amount, she couldn't answer me. She repeatedly said she'll have to verify. In short, not only am I not going to get any amount, I'm also not gonna know how they decided that I'm not eligible for any remuneration.
Two hours have been taken from me while I'm at work, and I cannot call them after work because they said they needed Korean Air to be open as well. There has got to be a better standard of practice for this horrible company. If indeed I am ineligible for a refund then I will be fine with that. but some level of honesty, transparency and courtesy must be demanded of this company.Desired Settlement: I wish to get the refund that Korean Air said I am eligible to.

This
is in response to the complaint we received regarding the above referenced
booking number. In her complaint [redacted] is requesting a partial refund for tickets she purchased via our online website do to a medical issue.
In
her complaint [redacted] states that she was advised by a Korean Air’s airport
personnel in Manila that she would be entitled to a refund for the portion of
the ticket she was not able to travel on.
When she contacted our customer service department she was ask if she
had written confirmation advising the same since this information was not
documented in her reservation.
Since
[redacted] could not provide this information, we would like to advise the
Revdex.com that we have submitted a refund request to Korean
Airline’s refund department for consideration on her behalf. Since we are a travel agency and we are not
authorized to waive any airline policy.
The decision to refund all or part of the money [redacted] is seeking will be solely up to the
individual airline based on the information provided if granted, will be
refunded back to the credit card used to purchase the original tickets.
I
also informed her that this is not a simple process. The airline can take up to 3 months to
complete this process, and that we are doing everything we can to accommodate
her refund request.
We
regret any confusion or frustrations [redacted] encountered and appreciate the
time and attention your office has given this matter. I am requesting that this complaint be closed
and not counted against us, since there was no error on our part based on the
above information.
Sincerely

Response:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
To whom it may concern:
I welcome the fact that Cheapoair has responded on the record about the steps that they are doing to address my complaint.
However, I want to make it known that while they say that they are awaiting Korean Air's verdict on the matter, the truth is, they already told me over the phone that I will not be eligible for a refund because the charges I am getting for not boarding that flight amount to more than the tickets' worth.
They asked me for a waiver from Korean Air that states my child had an [redacted] and as I have told them repeatedly in the many calls I made to them, KOREAN AIR DOES NOT ISSUE ANY FORM LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT IS NEITHER THEIR PRACTICE NOR POLICY. This was told to me by Korean Air customer agents.
We also received an e-mail from Cheapoair about allegedly calling us a few times and neither I nor my husband actually received a call from them. We have gone through all our phone calls and they did not call us back when I requested them to. I even e-mailed them again requesting for a call back to no avail. I was requesting for the figures which they said they computed and reached the conclusion that the charges would be more than the ticket amount. Until this day, no explanation from them on these fees.
The fact that [redacted] is saying they did nothing wrong in this case is inaccurate. This complaint is not just about the refund I am asking for but also the kind of customer service they accord their customers. A lot of my time has been wasted calling them over and over, being put on hold, and being deprived of proper information which should be made available to me in the first place. This complaint is about the lack of transparency from this business, and the lack of respect for their customer's common sense.
Many times I would ask questions answerable by a yes or no, and their agents would answer with, I will have to check on that or would change the subject altogether. I resorted to complaining to Revdex.com not merely because I need my money back but also to improve Cheapoair's way of conducting business. How they say that they didn't do anything wrong in this case merely reflects the kind of passive attitude they give to valid customer concerns.
In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

Dear [redacted]:
This
is in response to the rebuttal we received regarding the above referenced booking
number. In her complaint [redacted] is
requesting a partial refund for tickets she purchased via our online website do
to a medical issue.
When [redacted] contacted our customer service department she was
advised that the airline personnel did not cancel her return flights nor did
they document her reservation authorizing any sort of refund. When a reservation
is not cancelled prior to departure the airlines general policy is to mark the
reservation in a “No Show” status. Per
the rules set by the airline, the ticket no longer has any value.
As
a gesture of goodwill we still submitted a refund request to Korean Airline’s
refund department for consideration on her behalf. Since we are a travel agency and we are not
authorized to waive any airline policy.
The decision to refund all or part of the money [redacted] is seeking will be solely up to the
individual airline based on the information provided. If granted, the refund
will be processed back to the credit card used to purchase the original tickets.
We
apologize for any rude or unprofessional behavior displayed by our agents that
she described in her complaint. We take
our customer service seriously and do not tolerate any such behavior by our
staff. Her concerns have been submitted
to senior management and appropriate action will be taken.
Prior
to submitting her reservation [redacted] stated that she had read and understood
our Terms and Conditions. Listed under CANCEL AND EXCHANGE
“All airline tickets are 100%
non-refundable. These
policies are set by the individual airlines and we are not authorized to either
ignore or waive any airline rules or restrictions.
Again
we regret any confusion or frustrations [redacted] encountered and appreciate
the time and attention your office has given this matter. I am requesting that this complaint be closed
and not counted against us, since there was no error on our part based on the
above information.

Response:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
[redacted]' allegation that we were marked "no-shows" is incorrect, because we received a call from Korean Air in Manila the same afternoon we missed our flight. The agent called to let us know that since they couldn't offer us a flight that will work with our schedule, they went ahead and checked to see if we would be eligible for the refund. She said that we are, and that there is a 1 year time frame for us to claim the refund. In short, THE REFUND IS THERE. It is very unlikely that a Korean Air agent would take the time out to find my phone number and contact me if they allegedly assumed we were no-shows. It just doesn't make sense.
Sending my refund claim to Korean Air as a sign of "goodwill" on the part of Cheapoair is also imprudent, because I am merely claiming what is due me, as expressed by Korean Air itself. I do not owe Cheapoair for sending my claim to Korean Air. It is only expected on their part to do that if they had any decent customer service.
[redacted]' repeated claim that they have no shortcoming in this case just tells me the grim chances of me getting my refund back. And since this is the case, my only prayer is that Revdex.com translates to the consumers what kind of customer service--if it can even be called that, Cheapoair has.
In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

Review: I flew my Mother-in-Law in to visit from Europe for Christmas. Her flight package to the US ended in Denver Colorado. I bought her a connecting round-tip ticket from Denver to Cortez--a much shorter, easier drive from our home than all the way to Denver. No problems so far. Fast-forward, time to return. The airlines from Cortez to Denver cancelled her her return flight and moved her to a later one. This gives her 50 minutes to get to her gate at Denver International to make her series of return flights--a very EXPENSIVE, IMPORTANT series of flights to be on time for. OK, it will be tight, but okay. The night before her flight, they call to inform us THAT flight to Denver was cancelled, but they'd be happy to put her on a flight from Farmington, NM that would arrive in Denver about the same time, but with no guarantee it wouldn't be cancelled as well. This doesn't work for us. Two flights cancelled in 48 hours with no guarantee it won't happen again, I'm not taking any chances on losing and having to replace her return flights back to Europe in excess of $1500 if something else happened. They offered a full refund for her ticket (nothing for the hotel we'd already paid for in Cortez for the inconvenience, but okay). We accept the refund option, spent two tanks of gas, meals, and lodging to drive her to Denver. The only catch was that it could not be refunded directly to my credit card because the ticket was purchased through an agent--it had to be refunded through the agent back to me--that agent was cheapOair.com, and would likely take up to two weeks to appear because it had to be processed through a third party. Okay, that's acceptable--inconvenient, but acceptable. We recieved the confirmation of refund sent to our purchasing agent, and dealt with it. The hotel booked with the original ticket was a total loss. Okay, that's life. The total cost of the original ticket being refunded should off-set most of the expense of the unexpected drive and stay in Denver, excluding the loss of having to take an extra day off work for both myself and my wife without pay. We made the drive, paid the extra expense, and life went on.
The next billing cycle for my credit card appears the following month--guess what, no refund. I look up cheapOair.com and attempt to connect with "live help" to inquire. Their automated message tells me how important I am and a customer service rep will be along shortly. After 20 minutes and about 50 repeats of the same ** message, I get disconnected. So I try again, receiving the same automated message, and get disconnected again. After a third time, I give up for the night. A few nights later, I go through the same process with the same results. The following week, I try again. Same thing. Okay, this is a little goofy--so I try calling their 800 line. I don't even get an option for a customer service rep--I get an option for a NEW RESERVATION or an EXISTING RESERVATION. Mind you, this is the number listed for Customer Service--NOT Sales. No matter what option I pick, I am informed of a "high call volume" and my expected wait is about 30 minutes. 45 minutes later, I get disconnected---EVERY TIME!!!
About twice a week for the next month I attempt this same routine. No matter what day of the week or what time of day, the same thing happens. Several times throughout the process I choose the "leave your information and an associate will return your call" option. Well, the phone would ring, I'd be informed I'm "first in queue, and an associate would be right with me", only to sit on the phone for twenty minutes and get cut off.
FINALLY, last night--TWO MONTHS LATER--I got a live person to pick up the line. After explaining the situation, they informed me they were a "SALES ASSOCIATE" and would have to transfer me to their Customer Service Department. Well, guess what--I sat on hold for an HOUR AND TWENTY-THREE MINUTES before an automated message popped up to inform me they were having technical difficulties and could not process my call--I would need to call back at a later time---CLICK!!!
God, help these people if I ever meet them face-to-face!!!
I have been patient, understanding, and have done everything in my power to resolve this situation peacefully. That has ended.Desired Settlement: The entire price of the ticket, the original hotel (booked together with the ticket), and all associated fees will be fully refunded within 72 hours of this complaint. If this is not done, I will file the charges with my Credit Card as Fraud, and follow with civil action to include all my expenses for the alternate trip we had to make in place of the return flight, including my time and resources spent attempting to contact CheapOair.com during the two months since the refund was issued by the airline through them as the purchasing agent. I guarantee the price for such blatant refusal of responsibility will be VERY costly compared to what simply issuing the valid refund from the airline would have cost originally. I will NOT tolerate a thief.

Review: I made a Booking #[redacted] on the travel portal in August. I booked a round trip ticket from Dulles to Mumbai and back (** Dec to ** Jan) and paid quite a high price for it. But now I cannot change the dates to increase the time that I want to spend in India without paying a penalty of $ 275. I spoke with a phone operator who used a phoney name, and then chatted with a representative called [redacted] in the Customer Service Online Chat. Both representatives were completely inadequate to deal with customers. I am sure that there was fine print when I purchased the ticket, but the unreasonable penalties were not adequately visible. I thought I was buying expensive tickets, but only so that I would receive service from a travel agency. I want to have the tickets changed to a period when they are considerably cheaper and the demand is far less. I would like to travel on the [redacted] of November instead of the [redacted] of December. I was told that I had to pay a penalty and the price difference, but if the price difference was in my favor, I would still have to shell out $ 275 over the $ 1718 that I have already paid. This would mean a ticket of almost $ 2000 when it should have cost me only $ 1200. The price gouging and fixing is unreal, and there is no service I can get in return without shelling out large amounts of money again.Desired Settlement: Ideally, I would like to cancel all my dealings with CheapOair and have my credit card refunded. If that is not possible, I would like to cancel my ticket and get a voucher that I can use within a year. The least that could be done is to change my tickets (incidentally, to a cheaper date) without any penalties or surcharges. I will not pay any additional amount over the rather expensive ticket with which I have been saddled.

Dear [redacted]:
This is in response to the complaint received regarding the above booking number. In his complaint [redacted] is requesting a refund or a credit be issued for a ticket he purchased via our on line website since he stated that the airline fees were not adequately visible.
On August *, 2013, [redacted] or someone on his behalf went on our website and submitted a reservation. The reservation was booked without the assistance of one of our Customer Service agents, in these cases it is the responsibility of the person making the reservation to make sure they read all necessary and important information.
Prior to submitting his reservation [redacted] stated that he had read and understood our Terms and Conditions. Listed under CANCEL AND EXCHANGE
“All airline tickets are 100% non-refundable. In certain cases where the airline may allow cancellations, a credit may be valid towards a future ticket purchase by the same traveler with travel on the same airline. An applicable penalty and a fare difference (if any), will be added in these cases. Usually the credit issued by the airline supplier is valid with time constraints and a specific expiration date and should be discussed with a customer service agent. All such bookings where the cancellation may be permitted must be cancelled prior to the scheduled departure time of the first flight segment by calling our customer service center. We do not guarantee any cancellation. A cancellation fee of $50 per person per ticket must be paid to us at the time of cancelling the booking; we retain this fee. The credit will be held for a limited time period, please ask the customer service agent for the specific date by when you must use this credit or you will lose the credit amount. When you are ready to make the new booking, you will have to the pay fare difference (if any), applicable airline penalties for that fare and CheapOair's exchange fees. All such changes are governed by the airlines' rules and regulations and are out of our control. CheapOair does not provide any representations or guarantees on changes or fees. If you are cancelling the booking and applying for a refund please read our Refunds Policy. Read more about our Change Policy if you wish to exchange the tickets for new dates or routing.”
Also in his complaint [redacted] feels that we should reveal all airline rebooking fees prior to purchase. What he is requesting is impossible since we allow several hundred airlines to access our web. Each airline has to file fares for every flight they operate and for one flight there could be between 50 – 100 different fares and each has its own penalties.
We regret any confusion encountered by [redacted] but no refund or credit will be offered based on the fact that he was advised of airline rebooking fees and fare difference prior to submitting his request.
When [redacted] is ready to rebook new travel dates he will need to contact our customer service department understanding he will be subject to all airline penalties and fare difference.
We appreciate the time and attention your office has given to this matter.

Review: When I was researching for a reasonable ticket to Rome, Italy from Cleveland, Ohio where I reside, I searched Internet websites on [redacted], and [redacted]. I never contacted or searched with the company Travelong Inc. as indicated on the statement. After receiving a bill from my [redacted] card, I was informed of such a company and was charged for two tickets to Rome, Italy through the company Travelong Inc.
When searching on the website [redacted], I was prompted to place my credit card number into the dialog box to purchase two tickets. After putting in my credit card number, the website indicated these tickets were no longer available at this price and prompted me to confirm if I wanted to continue with the purchase with the new price listed. The price was significantly higher and I declined the amount and did not purchase the tickets. Thus we were not aware of the purchase and we did not receive a confirmation number.
I never knew I had the tickets that were purchased from [redacted]. until the bill came in the mail from [redacted]. If I would have known of these tickets being issued and purchased, I would have used them instead of purchasing the tickets I did buy with a travel agent.
The statement on my [redacted] card indicated the tickets were purchased through Travelong Inc. Travelong Inc. must run [redacted]'s website and charged my credit card without my approval.Desired Settlement: We would like to be refunded the full amount we were charged for the two tickets; $3226.80.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
I still have not received a full refund for the tickets that were charged to my [redacted] account.Referring to the attached documents you can see that I was charged for two tickets from Travelong Inc. New York as I have stated in the original complaint. I did not know of these charges until I received the bill and it was too late to cancel the tickets. The tickets were charged without my consent and knowledge. When I was searching online for tickets, [redacted] stated the price for each ticket was around 1,200. I placed my credit card information into the website to purchase tickets at this price. When prompted that the tickets were no longer available at this price and were significantly higher at the price listed on the credit card receipt attached, I clicked I no longer wanted the two tickets. As stated before, the tickets were still charged to my credit card without my knowledge or consent and thus I never received a confirmation. The following day I booked two tickets through a travel agent. Why would I purchase to tickets from [redacted] and then another two from a travel agent if I had already bought two tickets??I will restate, upon receiving the bill, it was too late to cancel the tickets with US Airways.I would like a full refund.

Dear Sirs:
This
is in response to the rebuttal we received regarding the above referenced
booking number. In her complaint she
states we charged her credit card without her consent for tickets she purchased
via our online website.
On
May **, 2013, [redacted] or someone on her behalf went on our website and
submitted a round trip reservation from Cleveland, Ohio to Rome, Italy
departing June **, 2013. The reservation
was booked without the assistance of one of our Customer Service agents and it
is the responsibility of the person making the reservation to make sure they
read all necessary and important information.
Also
prior to submitting her reservation she stated that she had read and understood
our Terms and Conditions. Listed in our
Terms and Condition “All airline tickets are 100%
non-refundable and non-transferable. If you wish to exchange the tickets for new dates or routing any
and all changes made to the itinerary
are restricted and subject to airline penalties and
any fare difference.
Enclosed
is what we call a “Copied Payment” which was captured just before the reservation
was submitted (see attachment). As you
can see [redacted] was charged only the amount quoted.
We were notified by [redacted] that a dispute had been filed
by [redacted]. Since we consider
these to be valid charges the dispute was challenged.
Based
on the information she provided from [redacted] she was informed the
following:
“We have established that the Card was
presented in good faith to the merchant for valid charges you released your
Card number to an online website and we have no further recourse with the
merchant.”
We
regret any confusion or frustrations [redacted] encountered but no refund will
be offered based on the final outcome of her dispute she filed with American
Express.

Review: I booked a vacation package online with [redacted] from NYC to Punta Cana, DR on 8/**/14 which included hotel and round trip airfare on [redacted] airways departing 10/*/14. The returning flight included a layover from Punta Cana to San Juan PR and then back to NYC. The original total amount for the package was $2324.47. A few hours later I did online comparison shopping and found the same vacation package (same hotel with round-trip NONSTOP flights with [redacted] airways) on [redacted] for $2229.53. On 8/**/14 I contacted [redacted] within the allowed 24 hour cancellation period and expressed my concerns asking them to price match the package and the flights. Thus, began the long and tedious process of dealing with their horrendous customer service. I worked with an individual by the name of "[redacted]." I was initially promised a price match guaranteed refund. The rep indicated that the flights I wanted were more expensive and after some resistance and expressing my concern to cancel, I was reluctantly given the same flight itinerary as [redacted]. At the end of the conversation I was assured an e-mail confirmation for all of the above, but after three days had past I realized I didn't receive a confirmation.
On Wednesday 8/** I called the [redacted] call center 3 times. The first two calls I was disconnected and hung up on by the reps at the call center. I worked with a third rep. I explained my situation again for the 2nd time. I received a confirmation that the flights had indeed been updated on my itinerary. However, when I asked about my price match refund I was told to my surprise that my booking rep had never requested one! I was also told that since the flights were expensive and already had been booked that additional price match refund would not be given. The rep stated it was a choice of one of the other, either take the flights or receive a refund. I explained to the rep I was extremely dissatisfied because I was misled to believe my refund and flight changes that I agreed to would not be an issue. If I had known this would be an issue then I would've canceled on Sunday within the 24 hour booking period. The rep then placed me on hold while he tried to get the original rep Wilbur on the line. After 10-15 minutes on hold the rep came back and told me he could NOT reach my rep. I then asked for a supervisor. After being on hold again for 10 minutes I was hung up on. I waited yet another 24 hours to receive a response from [redacted]. On 8/** after receiving no response, I sent an e-mail to customer service and requested a full cancelation of my vacation package and proceeded to book my vacation with [redacted]. A few hours later I received a reply back from my original rep [redacted] emphatically apologizing for the customer service mix up and promising to make amends. I informed him that I was forced to cancel my reservation because of poor customer service, a refusal to honor the price match as per [redacted]’s price match guarantee policy and that I had already booked with [redacted]. After about a week I checked my [redacted] statement and saw there was no refund and that I was still being billed for the [redacted] reservations despite my request to cancel on 8/**/14. I then directed [redacted] to dispute the charges.
Almost a month later, (on 9/**/14) I received an e-mail from another rep "[redacted]" of [redacted] asking me to explain the disputed charges. I realized at that point that the reservations that I had asked to be canceled were never actually canceled. After a few e-mail exchanges with Erin I informed her that I just wasn't interested in doing business with her company, after all of the aggravation. Afterwards I received my long awaited cancellation notice (via e-mail) from [redacted].com. Two weeks later on 10/*/14, [redacted] informed me that [redacted] would only honor a partial refund of 1067.71 (1256.76 less than the original amount) which they claim to be non-refundable. I don’t understand how [redacted] has the audacity to (in bad-faith) retain the full fare amount when the Airline’s website states that cancellation fees range from $75-150 max. per person. [redacted]. In reality I did take the same exact flights on my original itinerary but with a different travel agent ([redacted]) as I refused to do business with [redacted], so I don’t see why [redacted] would even choose to penalize me for a cancellation fee in the first place! Furthermore a brief google search for [redacted] revealed countless negative reviews about this company and its fraudulent, deceptive business tactics that I wish I had seen prior to even booking with them. I formally request the assistance of the Revdex.com in helping me in a mediation with a company that just isn’t playing fair with a NYS consumer.Desired Settlement: Full refund from merchant of remaining amount - $1256.76.

Dear [redacted]:
This
is in response to the complaint we received regarding the above referenced
booking number. In his complaint [redacted]
is requesting a refund for a non-refundable ticket he purchased on August **,
2014.
On
August [redacted] called out customer service department
advising that he saw that the price was less on [redacted] by $51.20 and that they
could confirm a direct flight on his return.
Our customer service agent also offer a refund of $5.00 as a rebate
making a total refund of $56.20. The reservation was changed and the refund
processed.
On
September [redacted] we were advised by his credit card company that [redacted] has filed a dispute in the amount of $2,324.47. Please understand that we were not investigating
his claim, this process was being handled by his credit card company and they are
the ones who will determine the outcome.
Based
on the information [redacted] provided his credit card company has completed
their research, and determined that out of the $2,324.47 only $1,067.71 was
eligible for refund.
We
regret any confusion or frustrations [redacted] encountered but no further
refund will be offered since his credit card has determined that the remaining
$1,256.76 to be a valid charge.
We
appreciate the time and attention your office has given to this matter.

[Your Answer Here]
I have spoken to the Airline - [redacted] airways representatives have assured me that the tickets purchased by [redacted] are OPEN tickets and not BULK tickets. What this means is that as open tickets ARE INDEED refundable. When I explained my situation to [redacted] and asked why my refund wasn't complete I was told that [redacted] has to request the refund since they purchased it on my behalf then charged my credit card for it. [redacted] for whatever reason has not followed up with [redacted] for a refund which would then mean a refund for me.
[redacted] seems to be purposely holding on to my money!

That is correct; [redacted] was willing in good faith to offer me a travel credit, NOT a refund because [redacted] was being unethical and unwilling to do right by its client. I feel it’s disingenuous that [redacted] is STILL citing the "[redacted] nonrefundable policy” claim even though [redacted] deliberately informed [redacted] of its willingness to fully refund my airline tickets. If [redacted] was supposedly sticking its so-called nonrefundable policy why have I been offered travel credit? [redacted] has continued to stall the process and has not been helpful whatsoever in helping to bring this matter to a satisfactory conclusion.

Review: I booked a round trip ticket to Las Vegas through this company. Due to circumstances, I was not able to go. Called them up and was told that no refund could be given. I had no problem with that but was hoping to get a travel credit considering I had booked months in advance and had spend a considerable amount of money. Firstly, they have the worst customer service. Everyone is in India with [redacted] that you can barely understand and they can't help you because they don't know how to go off script. I was told to call the airline, but the airline isn't who charged my credit card, it was [redacted]. They then called me back leaving a voicemail saying that they would be able to assist me. I called back and stated why I was calling and no one knew that someone had called me. I told them the name of the person who had left the voicemail and was told no one works there by that name. Are you kidding me?!!!!!!! Do not use this company to buy your travel tickets. Use another site that actually helps there customers.Desired Settlement: I want my money back.

I've used cheapoair also in the past. Yes,deals are okay some of the time, but, I will not use them again. Too much effort. Poor english, poor organization of resources, double talkers and out right liars at times (with me at least). I booked a flight with an airline that, unknown to me, required online checkin only. I got to airport and was forced to pay 70 Euro to get on flight because `i did not check in and print my boarding pass. While this is an "airline" requirement, cheapoair did not inform me properly. The alert went to a random email within their own company ( I know this because an agent in a UK airport looked up the reservation and told me such. Overall, a fly by night CHEAPO company. You get what you pay for I guess.

This
is in response to the complaint we received regarding the above referenced
booking number. In his complaint [redacted]
is requesting some form of compensation for time it took to issue his ticket.
Our
records indicated that when our automated system went to issue his ticket we
received a “Credit Card Decline” message and his card was declined. We are not advised why only that his card
company would not authorize the charges.
[redacted] was advised the same.
The
reason that it took so long is that our customer service agent and [redacted] went
back and forth with his bank trying to figure out why we received a
decline. His bank stated that there was
a pending authorization but would not provide the authorization code so the
ticket could be issued. We regret that
this process took longer than [redacted] would have liked.
Our
records indicate that his ticket was issued and per the airline [redacted] has
utilized his outbound flights based on this information no compensation will be
offered..
We would like to apologize for any rude
or unprofessional behavior he feels was displayed by our agents that he described
in his complaint. We take our customer
service seriously and do not tolerate any such behavior by our staff. His concerns have been submitted to senior

Review: On March [redacted] 2014 my friend and I called Cheapoair.com to book a flight to Milan, Italy for June *, 2014-June **, 2014. We booked our flight separately but requested to be seated next to each other. The representative told my friend and I in order to reserve seats we have to pay an additional fee, but did not explain the costs. The representative verified that we will be able to seat next to each other; however on June *, 2014 our seats were not reserved to one another including our return flight on June **, 2014. We were booked through Jet Airways and were told by Jet Airways that they don't reserve seats. Basically, this tells me that I was scammed for additional money. I paid an additional $99.12 and was told it was a convenience fee, but I don't know what that means. The whole point was to be able to sit with my friend through a long journey and it never happened. Due to this incident I have lost trust and will never use their website again.Desired Settlement: Refund of $99.12 for something that the representative confirmed.

Review: This complaint is a part of a group of three travelers so it is duplicated because we all tried to resolve the issue with one person in our party taking the lead after no success.
On November [redacted], we were scheduled to fly from DFW to Sao, Paulo with a final destination of Buenos Aires, Argentina. After purchasing the tickets, I called the airline ([redacted]) to confirm that we would not need Brazilian Visas because we were not scheduled to be there over 24 hours (for the layover) and they told me that it would not be a problem, however that was not the case at all! When we went to check in we were told that we could not board our flight because we did not have the visa and we explained to the gate agent that we would not be there for more than 24 hours and that we had confirmed this information months ago (At this point we’re speaking with American Airlines Agents because they operate the [redacted] portion of the flights from the U.S. which we were not aware of prior to our actual tickets being “ticketed”. This is where a scary dream turned into a nightmare! The AA agent told us that we needed to contact [redacted] (to rebook our flights to direct flights) because it was through that portion of the company and we would need to call because there was is no representation at the DFW airport. We were on the phone for hours trying to speak with a representatives from [redacted] and CHEAPO Air. After several calls the Cheapo air representative told us that we needed to cancel our flight or we would lose all of our money. We did as instructed and later found that that we could have boarded another flight if our tickets hadn’t been cancelled. After purchasing brand new tickets and completing our trip we contacted Cheapo-Air about our credits. In an email it stated that our credit would be through [redacted] but we needed to contact Cheapo to book. However, when we contacted Cheapo they told us to contact [redacted] or [redacted] because that is who our credits were through. After months of corresponding via email and phone to [redacted] and neither company able to find a credit, they transferred me to their corporate office and a representative there told me to that my credit was with Travelong. A quick google search and this is the parent company of Cheapo-air and they had been deceitful as well as dubious in their communications to prolong the use of our credit. After months, of a goose hunt, I’ve decided to contact you and the ARC to get a full refund. Their mal-business practices have cost me and my counterpart’s lots of time. I believe they gave us the run-around so that we would not cash in on our credits as we only have one year from the date of the ticket pur[redacted] to use it (which this stipulation also was not clear and we thought that we had one year from the date of the actual trip). The agent actually lied to me and told me that I pur[redacted]d my ticket on March [redacted] and that the credit had expired and then let me on hold for a long time to “work on my behalf” to see if he could get it reinstated. He also promised that a supervisor would call me in four hours and that hasn’t happened. After all of the above, I’m requesting a full refund.

Review: I was booking a flight through Fairportal's Cheapoair site and the option I was looking at was for a Frontier Airlines flight. The pricing was listed however information about baggage, including carry-ons, was not on the site. Only a link to look at the baggage information on the airline's site. After looking at the airline's site it was still not clear as the airline uses various tiers of tickets to determine what the expense of baggage is and Cheapoair showed no information about which tier was being purchased. To be clear, I am not talking about economy, business, and first class. Frontier has various tiers just for their "economy" seating including "economy" and "basic" options.
So I called up Cheapoair customer service to find out if they had a better answer. The gentleman I talked to assured me that the ticket being purchased would be the tier that would include a free carry-on. I will be clear here that this issue was the sole purpose in me calling their customer service and it was the only point to which I wanted answers to. I was thorough in ensuring I had a clear answer from the customer service agent, there was no wiggle room from his side. He said, with no room for interpretation, that the tickets being purchased would have a free carry-on. I likely wouldn't have purchased the tickets from them if the carry-on was going to be charged. Tickets with Southwest Airlines were in a similar price range with the Frontier carry-on fee and since Southwest tickets include a free carry-on and 2 checked bags at no additional fee plus their flexibility with changing schedules they would have likely been the choice if not for the free carry-on with Frontier.
I was making the trip with my girlfriend so we both went ahead at that point and booked our flight through the customer service agent. Fast forward to our trip, we go to check-in for our flight and Frontier is charging for carry-on luggage to the tune of $25 each direction for each person making it a $50 total charge per person for the round trip. I should be clear here that none of the information I received from Cheapoair in the ordering process showed which tier the ticket was. A call to customer service was met with the response that "a [redacted]" would call back within a couple of hours. No callback was received within that time frame. Finally called them back again and was eventually transferred to a [redacted] who said all he could possibly do was give a Cheapoair credit for that amount and that both myself and my girlfriend (who I should add booked separately, but at the same time for the same flights) would receive an email with the details of the credit. That was in the evening on April ** and to this point neither of us have received an email.Desired Settlement: At this point, due to a couple of factors including distrust in Cheapoair(Fairportal) and the fact that neither of us travel all that frequently, I am requesting a refund of $50 for each of us to our credit cards (not company credit). A company credit in this case was hardly adequate to start with since it was misrepresented from the start but now that they have failed to follow through with even that I think the refund to our credit cards is the only appropriate action.

On
April [redacted] spoke to one of our customer service agents who
offered [redacted] a $50.00 Inconvenience Coupon [redacted] which he accepted.
The

applied to the cost of our service fee up to the value offered and
accepted. It can only be used by the

I am not "now" trying to get a refund, I have been trying to from the time I called Fareportal about this issue in the first place and have said it in every statement in this complaint. And again, let me reiterate, this was Fareportal directly giving incorrect information in their sales pitch. Is a coupon for future services which only covers their own fees and not anything else any sort of adequate compensation for when a business lies about how much things will cost when selling something? I DON"T THINK SO. I don't really care if it was intentional or not, the result was the same. I was given incorrect information which at best was out of ignorance and hope that it was correct or that I wouldn't make a fuss about it down the road if it wasn't.
I want to also be clear, as the interpretation of Fareportal's response could be misleading, I was not given any sort of coupon code or anything until their response to this complaint. That is the first I had seen of any coupon code from them. Nothing was given to me prior to that.
I am not going to use that coupon. I have no inclination to use Fareportal's services after this besides the fact that I foresee no trip requiring the services of any travel service. The coupon is a hollow gesture and compensates nothing.
And finally, any "confusion" on my part? Really? Do I sound confused? Is it confusing when a company says something that turns out to be blatantly false? And not only that but as I said, at best it was ignorance and a blatant choice to ignore the ignorance and say it anyway. I don't think this is confusing at all. Is the implication that I didn't understand how to use a coupon that I hadn't received? I made it pretty clear in my original statement that I had not actually received anything. The response in this complaint from Fareportal was the first I had seen of a coupon code. There is no confusion on my part other than Fareportal's apparent lack of desire to make this right. The coupon isn't about making it right, its about trying to get me to go away without having to turn over anything else. And the fact that it wasn't even turned over until this complaint was started shows Fareportal tried to get away without giving anything at all.
I feel like Fareportal is trying to pick and choose what to respond to and hiding behind this somehow "incredibly generous" coupon they have offered and are carefully wording things to make it sound like they handled things better than they did.
So again, I don't care about the coupon. The appropriate action is a refund. Period. I had no coupon in my hand when I started this complaint and the fact that it was turned over in this complaint doesn't change the fact that a refund is the correct, and only, course of action here.

On June **, we learned through a news story ([redacted]) (posted on June ** and covered by [redacted], a reputable source), that a [redacted] flight had to make an emergency landing after taking off from [redacted] heading to [redacted] on June **. Our concern is the unsafe condition of the airplane documented by [redacted]. The news story reported that the oxygen masks on the airplane were not in working condition, and passengers were passing out on the flight due to a lack of oxygen (flight attendants needed to wheel in oxygen tanks for these passengers as their oxygen masks were not working). The oxygen masks were described as tangled, old, having brown gunk inside them, and not working. Even if they were working, passengers would not have been able to use them as they were tangled up, or they would have been breathing in potentially harmful bacteria from the brown gunk inside. Concerns from passengers of [redacted] have also been voiced through social media (e.g., [redacted]). A number of complaints have been presumably deleted by [redacted], according to passengers’ comments.
Additional Concerns
Although we understand emergency landings are not uncommon in the airline industry, we believe this instance is different for the following reasons. Firstly, [redacted] has an apparent lack of meeting standards of safety for emergency equipment (such as oxygen masks), which failed passengers when they were required during the emergency landing. One has to wonder what else the company is lax with. Second, we have learned that [redacted] has only two airplanes in their entire fleet! The same airplane, which is over 30 years old, is being flown between [redacted] and [redacted]. If this were a reputable airline with a large fleet of planes, we would feel assured that the next plane that they would fly would be a safe one. However, with [redacted] having only two planes in their fleet, and their apparent lack of concern for safety apparatus, we cannot be certain that the plane we get would be a safe one. No one wants to get on a plane that might get to their destination.
We have also learned of a number of recent flights being cancelled by the airline on the following dates: July [redacted] and [redacted] as per a representative we spoke with at [redacted], and July * as per [redacted]’s website. We believe there have been additional cancellations; however, we have been unable to get this confirmed by an airport representative. We are concerned this airline appears not only to be unsafe, but also unreliable in terms of its scheduled flights. Given our work demands, we do not have the flexibility for our flights to be cancelled or rescheduled to different dates, and we have also booked hotel stays during this time which, if cancelled, would put us at a financial loss.
Response from Airline
To this date, [redacted] has not publicly commented on what caused the malfunction on its plane, or what/if actions were taken to ensure the situation was rectified and that the plane is now safe.
Response from CheapOair to date
We have made a number of phone calls to CheapOair and to [redacted] (the company that markets and sells tickets on behalf of a number of airlines), and discussed our concerns to no avail. These calls were made on June **, July *, July *, and July **, 2015. Each company informed us that we need to contact the other and tried to pass us off to someone else.
We have tried to resolve the issue reasonably with both CheapOair and [redacted]. Had we known about these safety concerns with [redacted], we would not have booked the [redacted] airline flights on June **. Given the tickets were purchased through CheapOair, we are requesting a credit from CheapOair for the full cost of the two return tickets we purchased (each return fare at $1030). We believe that CheapOair should take accountability work with its business partners to resolve this issue.
When speaking with CheapOair supervisors/managers (Alvin, Bryana and Gilbero), they maintained that they had no idea of the malfunctioning plane and emergency landing of the [redacted] plane; however, we had called to inform CheapOair of this matter multiple times. As well, being in the airline industry, we feel that it is their business to know of such matters.
Our Request
We are appalled that CheapOair would continue to allow such an unsafe airline to be marketed on their website. Until [redacted] can ensure, at the minimum, that basic safety standards for safety equipment are met, CheapOair should no longer advertise their flights and risk putting others’ lives at risk; in doing so we believe they are acting irresponsibly.
Again, given these extenuating circumstances and concern for our safety, we are requesting that CheapOair give us a credit so we can book a flight with a reliable and safe airline. It is our hope that CheapOair will prove to us to be a reliable and socially responsible marketing/advertising travel agent, and provide us with a full credit.Desired Settlement: We have requested a credit from CheapOair for two flight tickets purchased through the travel agent as a result of safety concerns.

RE: [redacted]/Case [redacted] Booking
Number [redacted] and [redacted]
Dear [redacted]:
This is
in response to the complaint we received regarding the above referenced case numbers. In her complaint [redacted] is requesting a
refund for non refundable tickets purchased via our online website.
In her
complaint [redacted] states that the airline [redacted] is unsafe based on
information she saw in a news story by [redacted]
Based on the complaint we searched and found
the following:
The article was posted on June [redacted] which
advised that on June [redacted] after departing [redacted] the flight
lost cabin pressure and had to make an emergency landing. The article also stated that some of the
oxygen masks did not work.
On June [redacted] or someone on her
behalf went on our website and submitted a round trip reservation. The reservation was booked without the
assistance of one of our Customer Service agents, in these cases it is the
responsibility of the person making the reservation to make sure they read
all necessary and important information.
Prior to submitting her reservation she stated that
she had read and understood our Terms and Conditions. Listed in our Terms and Condition “All airline tickets are 100% non-refundable and
non-transferable.
CheapOair
acts as a service bureau that provides value added service to retail
travel agents and consumers. CheapOair has no control over and assumes no liability for the

We
would also like to advise the Revdex.com that at no time have we
been advised by [redacted]) who help
airlines operate safely, under clearly defined rules that [redacted] is an
unsafe airline and request that they stop service.
We
regret any confusion encountered by [redacted] but no refund will be offered
since no warning has been issued stating that the airline is unsafe or unreliable.
We appreciate
the time and attention your office has given this matter.

Review: I booked a flight online 2/**/14 but the website changed my desired dates of travel upon processing of the credit card. When I called back immediately to get dates corrected, the travel agent advised that would be an additional $210 to correct, which I ultimately agreed to pay & gave another Credit card to cover the charges. I advised that they had also put the wrong telephone # on the confirmation e-mail. I was advised they would correct, and would be "no problem." I received the confirmation email & acknowledged it as was advised, but did not receive the confirmation that I had completed the transaction. So, early the next morning, 2/**/14, I called CheapoAir back to confirm Itinerary changes, but was told despite the email received confirming changes, it was not completed, but if I paid another $200+ they would complete the change. At that time, I told the agent that I simply wanted to cancel the entire transaction & requested they refund my money. The agent said he could not do that & I requested a Supervisor. I was put on hold & left there for 30 minutes, then the call "dropped" which had also happened on the prior night. I asked my Credit Union to put a stop on all charges that day & was assured it was done. Today, I received a debit in the amount of $1,001.96 from Spirit Airlines & told that I had no way to recoup that money. HELP!Desired Settlement: Refund of my charges of $1,001.96 for a flight that I made diligent attempt to cancel & was not able to get assistance from CheapoAir

Review: On February [redacted], 2014 I purchased a ticket for my husband. The next day I realized that there was a glitch on their iphone application and it was a wrong date on it. When I realized it I contacted CheapOair right away and explained the situation. The sales representative was very rude and told me that I made a mistake and that he is sending me a screenshot of what I have booked. I told him how is he going to send me a screenshot of my phone, as I was booking through the app? My husband was suppose to fly this evening for work up norht and the ticket was for the next day. We were already stressed enough that there was a possibility of him missing the work but very disrespectful representatives did not make it any easier. I told them I would have to talk to my husband and call them back on what we are going to do. I have contacted them again in just 40 minutes asking them to check how much would it cost to change the ticket on today. After they gave me a price of over $600 one way (usual ticket price is $250-$300) I refused it and asked them to check other nearby airports. At this point representative told me that I have contacted them too many times and now I have only 1 chance to "make my mind" or I will loose my money. I couldnt take that anymore and asked for a [redacted]. The [redacted] reassured me that my money will be safe and suggested to cancel the flight with the $50 cancellation fee and a credit with the same airline valid for the calendar year. At the time of my next booking I would have to pay rebooking fee of $50 plus the difference in fares if any. Scared that I am going to loose my money I agreed to that option. In a few weeks we decided to use our credit and buy a ticket. I contacted CheapOair and representative told me there will be an additional fee of $107 to change my ticket, which didnt make any sense as there was only $** difference in fares plus $50 fee. I asked representative to breakdown the charge and his answer was there is no breakdown and thats the total charge. I started calculating it for him and he agreed to everything I say but the end result was $107. The whole coversation took about $30 and after that I gave up and decided to call the aircompany directly. After all the calculations the total fee for changing my ticket was $15!!!! So Cheapoair wanted to charge me $107! For the same ticket blaming that this is what airline is charginf them!!!! Here is the conversation between me and the representative.

22:20 [redacted]: Passenger name would be [redacted]
22:22 [redacted]: could you please break it for me? As on the website the total price is $352.58 before cheap pick offer applies. We have $361.33 USD credit
22:22 [redacted]: Sure, I would also like to make a small alteration
22:23 [redacted]: The total additional cost would be CAD 107.50, Per Person
22:23 [redacted]: ok
22:23 [redacted]: Actually there is no break up the simple fact is that you do not compare it with a new ticket's fare
22:24 [redacted]: This is on the basis of the old ticket and the charges to change it when you use it after availing a future credit
22:24 [redacted]: Inclusive of the penalties and the fare differences
22:25 [redacted]: I haven't heard from you in a while. Are you still with me?
22:25 [redacted]: at the time of the cancellation I already paid a cancellation fee. I have a letter saying that there will be a rebooking fee of $50 plus fare difference. As I see on the website the new fare price is $352.58
22:26 [redacted]: so I would like to know where the charge of $107.5 came from
22:27 [redacted]: Yes You are right [redacted], along with a CAD 50.00 change fee there is a considerable fare difference also and that is what is totaling up to an additional cost of 107.50, Per Person
22:27 [redacted]: Kindly do not compare it with a new ticket's price
22:28 [redacted]: could you please email me a new fare price and all the charges applied as I would like to discuss it with the [redacted] as well as westjet directly
22:28 [redacted]: Dear [redacted], You can use this chat as a reference for sure
22:28 [redacted]: Your old ticket number was [redacted] 22:29 [redacted]: and what is the new fare price
22:29 [redacted]: And the West Jet Airways toll free number is [redacted] 22:29 [redacted]: The new ticket cost is USD 374.58, Inclusive of all the taxes and fees, Per Person
22:30 [redacted]: and what is cancellation fees and charges
22:30 [redacted]: rebooking fees I must say as I already paid a cancellation fee
22:31 [redacted]: The change fee as per the Airline Policy is CAD 50.00, Per Person
22:31 [redacted]: Kindly have a word with the airlines if you wish [redacted], Not a problem
22:31 [redacted]: ok and what is the rest of $57
22:33 [redacted]: new fare price is $374.58 + $50 rebooking fee in total is $424.58
22:33 [redacted]: our credit is $361.33
22:34 [redacted]: $424.58-$361.33=$63.21
22:34 [redacted]: so where did $107 come from
22:35 [redacted]: Dear [redacted], Let me check
22:35 [redacted]: thank you
22:35 [redacted]: Actually I would request you to not add the cancellation fee of CAD 50.00 to the new price please
22:36 [redacted]: ok
22:36 [redacted]: That is a separate non refundable service fee
22:36 [redacted]: I did not
22:37 [redacted]: You will now have a credit, in the amount of $361.33 USD , with Westjet Airlines . This credit will be valid for one year from the original date of issue 02/**/2014 all travel must be completed on, or before, 02/**/2015 and is only valid for travel on West Jet Airlines . All changes are subject to availability and airline fare rules . At the time of rebooking you agree to pay an airline penalty of $50 USD per person plus fare difference if any. This credit is NON TRANSFERABLE and NON REFUNDABLE
22:37 [redacted]: this is the letter from cheapoair
22:37 [redacted]: Okay you can get more details actually even if you call the west jet call centre
22:37 [redacted]: I agree
22:37 [redacted]: I already paid a cancellation fee of $50 when I cancelled the flight
22:38 [redacted]: Yes
22:38 [redacted]: so now I have to pay a rebooking fee plus a difference between new fares
22:38 [redacted]: Yes [redacted]
22:39 [redacted]: new fare price is $374.58 we have a credit of $361.33 so the fare difference is $**.25
22:39 [redacted]: plus rebooking fee of $50
22:40 [redacted]: Actually we calculate it by the fare difference separately as well
22:40 [redacted]: Your old tax was CAD 57.33
22:40 [redacted]: well I need to see the calculations
22:40 [redacted]: as I dont understand how you calculate it
22:40 [redacted]: The new taxes are CAD 107.33
22:41 [redacted]: And a re booking fee of CAD 50.00, Per Person
22:41 [redacted]: could you please send me a break down of fares and taxes separetly
22:41 [redacted]: So that totals up to USD 107.33 as an additional cost
22:41 [redacted]: I only can offer you this chat conversation as a reference dear [redacted]
22:42 [redacted]: is the [redacted] available 24/7?
As you can see non of it makes any sense and they have no clue what they are doing. I contacted Westjet management and filed complaint with them asking them consider stopping working with CheapOair as they represent them in a very bad way! I will never use CheapOair again and will never recommend it to anyone as well as will spread the word on how unethical, disrespectful and unprofessional their service is.Desired Settlement: I would like to get the charge of $50 that they applied to my credit card as well as an apology.

Review: Purchased an airline ticket through Cheapoair on September *, 2013. I was not notified that the last flight of my trip was cancelled around October. Days before my expected flight in January, I called the airline and they confirmed the cancelled status of my last flight. When I spoke to a representative about this issue he assured me that a refund would be possible on the last flight. Today I received an email with only half of the original monetary value of my last flight.Desired Settlement: A full refund.

Dear [redacted]:
This is in response to the complaint we received regarding the above referenced booking number. In her complaint [redacted] is requesting a refund since her flight from St Maarten to Dominica [redacted] was cancelled by the airline.
On February **, 2014, we have submitted all necessary information to the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) in order to obtain the refund she requested (see attachment) who in turn sent it to the appropriate airline for final approval in the amount of $119.50 based on the fare calculation for that portion of her trip. At this point there is nothing further CheapOair can do to expedite this refund. Once submitted to the airline, they have up to 60 days to comply and the refund will be processed back to the original form of payment used when the reservation was submitted.
We regret any confusion or frustrations encountered by [redacted] and to please allow the airline time to complete their refund process.
We appreciate the time and attention your office has given to this matter.

Review: I used CheapOair other times, I never had a problem until today. After I purchased a fly ticket to [redacted] where I was living Feb.**, I need to anticipate my trip for [redacted] to today, Feb [redacted].
I call yesterday Feb.[redacted] to make the arrangements, they gave me a ticket for today, that I paid $480. [redacted] to [redacted] to [redacted] to [redacted]. I was happy but neither the operator neither the email I received said that when I will arrive to [redacted] and will leave from another airport [redacted]!!
So I have take my luggage, rent a car and drive to another airport. If the operato would mentioned I will refuse the itinerary!
I found out this information this morning at the front desk of the [redacted], when the employee pointed it.
I called immediately CheapOair and the found a ticket [redacted] to [redacted] and I am able to take the same fly that I have before,[redacted] without other fly between.
THE REASON WHY I AM COMPLAINING IS BECAUSE TODAY THEY CHARGED ME $674.50 MORE FOR SOMETHING THAT I ASPECTED TO HAVE YESTERDAY!
WHAT I AM VERY MAD IS THE FACT THAT NOBODY MENTIONED THE AIRPORT CHANGES AND I WAS CHARGED MORE($674.50) FOR SOMETHING THAT MUST TO BE OFFER TO ME IMMEDIATELY YESTERDAY IF I HAVE AN OPERATOR WITH THE RIGHT SKILLS, LIKE THE GUY TODAY.
TOTAL OF MY FLY TICKET IS: $1330 PLUS $480 PLUS $674 = $2484!Desired Settlement: I would like to have a refund for what I spent today: $674. The person who took my phone call yesterday didn't do a good job, I don't need to pay for their mistake.
I didn't have any choice but pay for fixing my ticket! I was at the airpot ready to take my first fly without any possibility unless I accepted to pay $674.
