Review: I bought tickets from this website. The airline changed the flight schedule, so I cannot make my connection. They gave me an option to cancel and get a 100% refund if I do not like the alternative flight. So I took option of refund. That was on the ** of Sep 2014.They said to expect refund in one or 2 billing cycles. I called them multiple times once on the ** of Oct to check and they told me they were awaiting approval from the Airline. I called the airline [redacted]. They said its all clear from their end and I should get back the money from the agent I booked. So I got in touch with [redacted] today by phone [redacted] of Oct. I get the same story that they are awaiting confirmation from the airline. Now I had booked the similar itinerary for my husband on with a different departure date with another website priceline.com. That refund has been processed on the ** of Sep. So I dont see what is taking them over a month to refund my money. I am still hearing the same old we are waiting for the airline to process your refund. After this call I received an email saying that my refund request has been submitted. I dont know what is going on my refund request was submitted on the ** of Sep. I feel like they are just holding off on returning the money as long as they can.Desired Settlement: I want a full refund immediately.

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 due to an airline schedule change.
We
would like to advise the Revdex.com that that we have submitted all
necessary information to the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) who handles
airline ticket distribution who
in turn sent it to the [redacted] in order to obtain the refund she
requested in the amount of $1,865.94 (see enclosed). The request was submitted on October **, 2014,
and the airline has 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 [redacted] encountered and appreciate the
time and attention your office has given this matter.
Sincerely,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved. I have received the refund since the day I filed the complaint.

Review: I have booked flights for my dad with Cheapoair for several years now. Yesterday I got an error message that says I have an identical booking in your system and that I can’t book a flight from Quito to Cuenca on October ** at 9:55 a.m. and returning on April ** at 11:15 a.m.
This morning I called you agent at around 11:15 EST who was not able to help me at all. After a long wait I got transferred to a supervisor by the name of Armando in India who was the most arrogant person and totally unwilling to help.
1. He said that there is nothing that could be done and that the website price is wrong. He advised me that it takes about 4 hours for the website to be updated with the right price. When I advised him that this price of $123.18 Canadian has been on your website for the past week. He said he doesn’t know why and he can’t do anything about it.
2. I asked him to transfer to his supervisor. He said he can’t leave the floor to go get one.
3. When I asked him for his bosses name he said he can’t give me that.
4. When I told him that the website is saying I have an identical booking in the last 3 days and doesn’t allow me to complete my booking, he stated that there’s nothing that can be done about that.
5. I asked him to log a technical ticket to correct my issue, he said it can’t be done.Desired Settlement: I would like someone more senior to contact me about the error message that i'm receiving and for Cheapoair to honour their advertised price on their website.

RE: [redacted]/Case [redacted] Booking
Number [redacted]
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 for a ticket she purchased via our online website.
On
June [redacted] or someone on her behalf went onto our
website and submitted a round trip reservation from [redacted] to
[redacted].
Enclosed is what we call our “payment page” This is what was shown to her prior to
booking the reservation. When a request
is submitted our website is designed to show travelers the least expensive
flights available between the two cities.
As you can see alternate dates were offered (see attachment 1).
She was also advised to “Please confirm
that the dates, times of flight departures and names of travelers are accurate,
tickets are non-transferable and non-assignable, name changes on tickets are
not permitted, ticket cost and service fees are non-refundable, all govt. and
our service fees and taxes are included in the total ticket cost, however, tickets mew be refunded within four hours
from the time of purchase at no coat and within twenty-four (24) hours of the
time of purchase with a fee.”
Once the reservation was confirmed a booking email was sent (see
attachment 2) which again advised that alternate dates were confirmed.
We would also like to advise the Revdex.com that [redacted] was contacted by one of our customer care supervisors. She informed our supervisor that she had traveled
on the tickets issued on the alternate dates.
We regret any confusion encountered by [redacted] but no other
refund or compensation will be offered since she elected to use the tickets
issued
We appreciate
the time and attention your office has given to this matter.
Sincerely,
Karen

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:
[Your Answer Here]
I have all the evidence of phone calls recorded and of them saying they onky called back so I wouldnt write a bad review I also have every picture where I was put on hold for almost 45 mins. I also was double booked through your site before proving their is a problem with your site and in response I had to use the tickets as. I already had hotels booked and as I stated I did not choose those dates. this company has been very rude on [redacted] and I have witnesses to confirm this everyytime I write a review on there page they erase it . they dont want customers seing what a bad company they are if they will not correct this matter I wiould like to continuethe process and file a lawsuit and get the media involved. this. company cares nothing about their customers as I have been one for years.
ive also included pictures of how they say theyre going to get back to u and I never heard anything even after a week
In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.
Sincerely,
Review: I bought 4 ticket from CheapOair online. Before submit the request, I checked everything was right. After I got the e-mail, I saw my name printed misspelled. I called to the company and requested to correct my last name. The customer service representative told me that is not possible, and also told that I cannot fly under that name and my ticket automatically is useless. When I asked her what can I do, she offered me to cancel old ticket and buy a new one, and because it is not refundable purchase she had to ask superior if she can get some refund for me. After a while she answered that I can get $671.90 from $1036+ tax, and also I should pay a cancellation fee $200. I thought I do not have other choice and trusted the lady because we had already scheduled our trip and I did not want to miss that trip. I accepted, and I bought a more expensive ticket for the same flight about $1260. When I spoke with friends, they suggested me to call airport and be sure that misspelled ticket was really invalid, and when I talked to someone in airport, I understood that lady who represent the ChepOair Company lied to me and cause me about $1200 damage. I called them and complained about lying me, and demand my money back. They told me they are not able to do that because Airline Company supposed to accept that and they will request in behalf of me. I called to airline and they told me they are not involved about tickets which different companies may sell. When I checked my credit card account I noticed that company charged me another $137 without discussed with me, and instead of charging one ticket price, they charge two tickets costs, and one day later they returned the second ticket amount. Their action caused me a $1000 mines on my account. I called again, and complained them that why they used my credit cart without my permission and demanded again to return my money, and also told them detailed that they lied to me, fooled me to cancel my ticket, to buy another ticket, charge me extra cancellation fee, and when my son spoke with them a little angrily, they agreed to pay $337 back which they charge me. I saw they really can pay my lost ticket fee, but they do not want. They told that I will receive my amount about 2 months later. However, they promised me to give my refund about $337 (cancellation and other charge fee) and $670 from my old ticket, but I am losing about $500 again.Desired Settlement: Please help me to settled my claim. They lied to me, cause me financial and emotional damage. They do not provide fair service and their online service to purchase tickets is fraud, the computer make purposely mistake in customer name to confuse and frustrate them. Now, I want my whole ticket money back. They promise me to refund some money, but if they return that amount, I still will lose $500. Please help me to get my rights.

Dear [redacted]:
This
is in response to the complaint we received regarding the above referenced
booking number. In her complaint [redacted] is requesting that one of the names be changed since when filling out
the name information prior to submitting her reservation she entered her last
name as [redacted] (see attachment).
Prior
to submitting his reservation he was
also advised “Please confirm that the dates, times of
flight departures and names of travelers are accurate, tickets are
non-transferable and non-assignable, name changes on tickets are not permitted,
ticket cost and service fees are non-refundable, all govt. and our service fees and taxes
are included in the total ticket cost, however, tickets are refundable within
twenty-four (24) hours of the time of purchase. Date and routing changes will be subject to airline penalties and our
service fees.”
[redacted] was advised that on her behalf a refund request has been submitted to
Etihad Airlines refund department for consideration, 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]s seeking will be solely up to the individual airline based on the
information provided. Please understand that this process may take up to 60 days
and the refund if granted, will be processed back to the original form of
payment used when the reservation was submitted.
We
regret any confusion or frustrations [redacted] encountered.
We
appreciate the time and attention your office and are requesting that this
complaint be closed and not counted against use since the error was made by [redacted] since she spelled her last name incorrectly prior to submitting her
reservation.

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:
1- I did not typed my last name wrong
2- I checked everything and then submitted
3- They did not e-mail me the inquiry during 24 hours in
order to if I want to cancel it I do not have to face with problem
4- I did not want to cancel my ticket
5- Their representative lied to me that I cannot use that
ticket because airport does not allow me to fly: I checked with airport they confirm that they
would correct the misspelling because the ticket was paid by my credit card and
my name and last name was shown their clearly.
6- After their representative sold me another ticket ($200
more expensive) I checked my credit card I saw they charged me 2 tickets cost (2*1262.06)
and then they return one ticket cost next day: they used my credit card without
my permission and I have to pay extra to bank because my account was shown minus
7- The air line did not know anything about this transaction
or conversation, and the company is only responsible.
My request is the same. I want my whole ticket money back
because they lied to me, forced me to buy another ticket, and give me hard time.
In addition, they did not refund $670 yet which they promised
me (I have their e-mail to proof that).
Thank you Revdex.com Serving

Dear [redacted]:
This
is in response to the rebuttal we received regarding the above referenced
booking number. I cannot understand how
[redacted] can state that she did not spell her name incorrectly .
In
my letter dated May *, 2014, we supplied what we call our “Payment Page” (see
attachment 1). This is what is shown to the customer after they have chosen an
itinerary from the options offered to them. As you can see when [redacted] entered her
last name as [redacted].
We
also requested to “Please confirm that the dates,
times of flight departures and names of travelers are accurate, tickets are
non-transferable and non-assignable, name changes on tickets are not permitted,
ticket cost and service fees are non-refundable, all govt. and our service fees and taxes
are included in the total ticket cost, however, tickets are refundable within
twenty-four (24) hours of the time of purchase. Date and routing changes will be subject to airline penalties and our
service fees.”
Once
the tickets were issued (April [redacted]) email confirmation was sent (see
attachment 2) again you can see the ticket was issued under [redacted] which again
is the name she entered.
[redacted] also stated that she has not received her refund. As stated in my original response the refund
process may take up to 60 days and the refund will be processed back to the
original form of payment used when the reservation was submitted.
We
regret confusion [redacted] encountered but no other compensation will be
offered.
We
appreciate the time and attention your office and are requesting that this
complaint be closed and not counted against use since the error was made by [redacted] based on the information provided that she did spelled her last name incorrectly
prior to submitting her reservation.
Sincerely,
Consumer
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:
I did not misspell my
name because I spelled it once again in payment link ( I used my credit card to
pay the cost). My question is not only about the company’s poor online system,
but also about why their representative fooled me, confused me and misled me to
cancel my ticket and buy another one. I would be able to change my misspelled last name in Air port. Her and my conversation should be
recorded (If they do not lie about that too). Why they use my credit card
without my permission and charge me $137 (which when I called and complained
they returned me).
My request from Cheap o'air
Company is return my damage about $500. However, I have not receive the $670 refund
yet.
I appreciate the Revdex.com useful act to give me and other people like me to raise their complain about some businesses unfairness actions.
In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

Unfortunately, on Feb * 2014, my family and I arrived early for the scheduled flight (Westjet Airlines Flight 1699) from Los Angeles (LAX) to Vancouver (YVR). Upon checking in at Terminal 2 with Westjet Airlines, the agent said I can not check in without valid Canadian Visa. I immediately called the Cheapoair Customer Service for help. The agent replied to me that the next option was another airline flight on Feb **, which was too late and would cost me an additional USD $3700. At this point, I was told I would have to cancel my original flight without any refund.
Finally I found an airline flight by myself and paid USD $3434.5 to fly that night and missed a very important business meeting.
I believe if that information was given to me over the phone by the customer service rep, I would not have changed my ORIGINAL booking. It should be part of their policy to make customer aware of different situations and travel restrictions when changing or modifying their booking and flying them through a 3rd country.
I sent a complaint letter to Cheapoair asking them to refund my credit card account for USD $6000. ($3434.5 for tickets plus $2565.5 compensation for missing a very important business meeting).
The reply letter from Cheapoair as below:
Dear [redacted] I have been forwarded your concerns regarding your recent airline travel. I appreciate the opportunity to look into it for you.
On November **, 2013 you or someone on your behalf went onto our website and submitted a reservation request. At that time you agreed to our terms and conditions, part of which state:
Passport / Visa: For international travel, all passengers must be in possession of valid travel documents such as ticket, passport, visas, transit visas, Schengen Visas and all other entry permits. Your passport must be valid for 6 months after your return date. While sometimes we may be able to assist with visa and passport information, it is solely the responsibility of the passenger(s) to arrange for all documents needed to enter the country you are traveling to, or passing through in transit.
This same information is on the confirmation emails that you were sent. I regret any inconvenience but I must advise you that we are not responsible so we must deny your request. What I can do is submit a request for you to the airline to see if they will refund the unused portion of your tickets. Please understand that it will be their decision that we have no voice in. I will submit the request today to our team that works with airlines on cases where we are asking them to waive their rules. Once I hear back from them I will of course let you know. Unfortunately it may take a little time since it is not always a quick reply back.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you [redacted] Escalation Team [redacted] Phone: ###-###-####

Review: I was issued an international ticket with 1 day layover at Dubai for my retired parents and the sales person did not notify/warn us about the 1 day layover at Dubai. Had to buy a new ticket now worth almost 1K. Spoke to [redacted] -she is arguing about the confirmation email, which I had to check.
I didn't notice the layover time as there is confusion in the international timing overlap. I'm expecting it would be minimum courtesy for the sales guy to mention that there is more than 24hr layover and they haven't done that. I'm expecting a refund. Hope Revdex.com will help me out.
Appreciate your assistance.Desired Settlement: Help me getting the refund.

This

not department until April [redacted].
We
would like to advise the Revdex.com that two refunds have been
processed for [redacted]. The first in
the amount of $108.00 was processed on April **, 2014. The second in the amount of $871.56 to a Visa
ending in [redacted] for a total of $979.56
This
process may take between 10 – 14 business days before it may reflect back to her

Review: I bought a return ticket on this website to travel from Dubai to Greensboro and back to Dubai. I just noticed on the e-ticket sent to me by the company that I would have to change airports when Washington Dulles to Washington National, at my expense, to continue my trip to Greensboro. I bought insurance with my ticket. I called the company's customer service that I did not notice that there was an airport switch as it was either not the case when I bought the ticket or it was not disclosed. I asked that the change to made so that I continue my journey from Dulles or my ticket be cancelled. Even though I bought insurance with the ticket, the company is refusing to correct the airport change or cancel the ticket unless I pay more money. It feels the company is running a scam or a deceptive business.Desired Settlement: The company will have to arrange for me to continue my trip to Greensboro from Washington Dulles or cancel ticket and give me full refund immediately so that I can buy another ticket at similar price as I have 7 days to travel.

Dear
[redacted]:
This
is in response to the complaint we received regarding the above referenced Booking
Number. In his complain [redacted] is
requesting us to arrange a ticket from Washington Dulles airport to Greensboro,
NC or provide a full refund of a non-refundable ticket he purchased via our
online website.
When
[redacted] visited our website and searched for his flights, he was advised he
had to change airports, from Washington Dulles to Washington National. After selecting the flights he was shown a
pre-confirmation before we even asked for his name, let alone credit card
information, please see attached documents that alerted the client about the
airport change.
Then
after his name, payment information and address, we again asked [redacted] to
double check that his flights, dates, destination, personal information were
correct before clicking "Book" to confirm (please see attachment
document). With all of these double checks in place, we STILL understand
that someone may make an error, therefore, we advise on our booking page that
we will change or refund at no cost if the client makes us aware within 24 hours. We sent [redacted] a
confirmation e-mail so he may verify his information; however, he booked these
flights on March **, 2014, but contacted us on March **, 2014, well after the
24 hour timeframe had passed. At this point, all airline rules and
restrictions were now in place. As a travel agency we cannot override
airline rules, it is not CheapOair that is charging the airport change fee or
denying the full refund. When clients book on-line without the assistance of
our Customer Service Department, which is available 24/7, they are responsible
for verifying all pertinent information before confirming a nonrefundable
reservation. We have several “double
checks” in place for our clients and CheapOair should not be held responsible
if a client has opted not to take advantage of them.
We
appreciate the time and attention your office has given this matter and we are requesting
that this complaint be removed, as there is no error from our part and we feel
that all times customer was informed of the airport change
Sincerely,

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 for the $75 she was charged when she called
to cancel her reservation.
On
June *, 2014, [redacted] or someone on her behalf went on our website and
submitted a round trip reservation from Madison, Wisconsin to Los Angeles,
California. 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.
She
was also advised “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 OneTravel.com exchange fees. All such changes are
governed by the airlines' rules and regulations and are out of our control.
OneTravel.com 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.” Any and all changes made to the itinerary
are restricted and subject to the airlines fare rules.
[redacted] also stated in her
complaint that we do not advised that if you want to cancel your ticket free of
any charge you must call within 4 hours of booking prior to submitting her
request if [redacted], was advised this information under “Free
Cancellations” (see attachment).
On June *, 2014, when [redacted]
contacted our customer service department, our agent advised that in order to
cancel her reservation she would be subject to a 25.00 per person cancellation
fee.
It was at this time that she
informed the customer service agent that she was going to contact her credit card
company and dispute the charges.
We
regret any confusion encountered by [redacted] but no refund will
be offered since
her reservation was not cancelled and she was never charged.
We
appreciate the time and attention your office has given this matter. I am requesting that this complaint be closed
and not counted against us, base on the above information.
Sincerely,
Review: I booked a flight from Cheapoair in November 2013. Cheapoair, in March 2014, said my flight was changed by the airlines and hence they had to reschedule my flight. They told me my options were to either take the changes made, or request a refund. I had since called cheapoair at least 7 to 8 times, being put on hold for 45 to 75 minutes each time to try and cancel and get a refund. The rescheduled flight times are not acceptable to me. However, each time I try to cancel and demand for a refund, Cheapoair keeps telling me they will contact me in 3 or 4 business days. Each time I call, a different person answers the phone, and each person tells me something different.
I am sick of waiting and being sent from one department to another department, getting me nowhere anyway. I just want my money back, and to never ever use this website again. As a customer, I deserve the right to get the product I paid for. They are making excuses after excuses.Desired Settlement: I just want my money back and an explanation to why they took so long to process this.

This
is in response to the complaint we received regarding the above referenced
booking number. In her complaint [redacted]
is requesting a refund due to Malaysia Airlines’ schedule change.
On April **, 2014, [redacted] was advised that we have submitted all necessary information
to the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) who handles airline
ticket distribution who
in turn sent it to the appropriate airline for final approval in the amount of
$1,301.70 based on the fare calculation when her original ticket was
issued. 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.
On
April **, 2014, our records indicate that the balance of $13.95 was processed
back to her Visa ending in [redacted]. This
process may take between 10 -14 business days before it may reflect back to her
account.

This is in response to the complaint received in reference to the above booking number. In her complaint Ms. [redacted] is requesting a refund for a ticket purchased via our website since she states neither she nor her husband booked this reservation.
On June **, 2013, Ms. [redacted] or someone on her behalf submitted a reservation request via our online website. Enclosed you will find a copy of what we call the “Payment Page”, it is a snapshot of what the client confirmed just before clicking “Book”.
Ms. [redacted] was contacted by one of our customer service agents regarding her complaint. The agent went over the information that was provided when the reservation was submitted. Ms. [redacted] advised that the only thing that was incorrect was the area code listed under the billing phone number. She also verified that the person listed as the traveler was her granddaughter.
Also in her complaint she listed the copy of the booking receipt that was sent to the email address listed when the reservation was submitted. Ms. [redacted] confirmed it was her email address.
When the information was submitted and before any ticket is processed the information submitted must be verified with the credit card holder’s bank. In this case it was a 100% match. If the reservation was not submitted by either Ms. [redacted] or her husband as stated, Ms. [redacted] needs to call the police to report the fraudulent charge. We will help Ms. [redacted] prosecute whomever comitted this fraud by cooperating with the police in any way we can.
Ms. [redacted] has been advised that once she provides a letter of hardship it will be submitted to US Airways refund department for consideration, since we are a travel agency; we are not authorized to waive any airline policy. The decision to refund all or part of the money Ms. [redacted] is seeking will be solely up to the individual airlines based on the information provided.
She was also informed 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 appreciate the time and attention your office has given to this matter.
Sincerely,
Business

As Ms. [redacted] is responding to us directly, but copying the Revdex.comB, there will be a large number of rebuttals attached to this complaint.

We are advocating for her with the airline and have asked Ms. [redacted] to send us some supporting documents, which she has now begun to do.
We would ask that this complaint be closed for now until the final answer from the airline is received.

Review: This company charged me $600 in ticket change fees but didn't change my tickets, they issued new ones. In Feb. 2014' we had to delay leaving St. Louis because my twins were sick and couldn't fly. [redacted] was instructed by me to change all 4 of the original tickets knowing I would be charged and then refunded by United $800. I had paperwork from the ER in St.Louis so I knew I would be refunded. At first the company told me they were waiting for response from United. I called United April [redacted] and they said there wasn't any claims filed so [redacted] lied about making a claim. I made the claims that day with United myself. I was refunded for my ticket but not my children $600. Several months, calls and hours on hold, [redacted] reps. told me my children were issued new tickets instead of changing them as I had asked. They would refund my $600 ASAP. That was 2 months ago. I filed a complaint with Consumer Affairs. This prompted [redacted] to email me and say they would"look" into my refund. They have all the notes from all the calls I have placed but they sent a request to United for the refund of tickets that were never changed. They have had several months to correct their error and refund my $600. This company has given me the run around since Feb. so it has been 6 months and still no refund. The mere fact that they contacted United again just proves they will do anything to delay paying me back the money they already charged on my credit card 6 months ago.Desired Settlement: They need to refund my $600 on my Discover Card. That is the card they charged me change fees on even though they didn't change my tickets.

Review: Beyond disappointed - getting furious now at the lack of basic "support" from the support department.
This whole crowd is based in India and NO ONE wants to take responsibility for anything. My wife has been trying for OVER A MONTH now with repeated phone calls to rearrange the booking times after one of the carriers cancelled a flight. We now have only 2 weeks left before the flight and we have got absolutely nowhere.
Every person she talks to says she needs to talk to someone else who then repeats the process or they will tell you they will call you back within 48 hours; this NEVER happens!
And every time, the same questions are asked :
"I want to get a connecting flight on the same day and I don't care which day - how can we do this?"
"If we can do this, how much extra would I have to pay"?
"How come you don't even know how much penalty would apply if I gave up and cancelled the entire booking".
"How is it a flight cancellation of a carrier involves me having to call 10 times so far to get absolutely no answers whatsoever". Each phone calls takes at least 30-40 minutes and often over an hour to try and get past the initial "help-desk" staff and to someone who is supposed to be able to help, only to be told either they will get back to us (never happens) or we need to call back and ask for "x" department.These toll calls will soon add up to more than any savings we obtained by using this outfit!
A basic problem like this should NOT be in the "too-hard" basket.
If we booked through this company and the carrier chosen cancels their flight, how come it is OUR responsibility to try and convince them to change the bookings to suit a connected flight?Desired Settlement: Just to get either :
A connecting flight on the same day (any day within that week) as the initial carrier (which cancelled it's original flight).
To know how much it will cost extra if the change above is possible
To know how much it would cost to cancel the booking
Just to know anything actually.

Dear [redacted]:
This
is in response to the complaint we received regarding the above referenced case
number regarding changes made to his reservation.
In
the complaint [redacted] did not provide his booking number and we were not
able to locate the booking by the e-mail address listed in the complaint. If you could please ask him to provide us
with his booking number, I’ll be able to pull up the reservation and hopefully

Review: My wife [redacted] made a booking online through this company's online gateway, [redacted] ("[redacted]")for her daughter (my stepdaughter) [redacted] to travel to Israel from Vancouver BC (Booking reference #[redacted]). A few days before [redacted] was due to return, the FAA advised airlines against flying to Israel, and many airlines, including [redacted]'s carrier, [redacted] cancelled outgoing flights from Tel Aviv because of rocket attacks. [redacted]'s return flight on July [redacted] was cancelled, and this is confirmed in press reports about airline cancellations at that time. [redacted] contacted [redacted] herself and asked for a new flight. She was told the only way that could happen is if the booking was cancelled. She was advised by the sales agent that she would receive a full refund of the airfare paid, which was around US $1700, and that she could rebook a flight. [redacted] should not have been allowed to cancel the booking herself, because the booking had been paid for by her mother, not by herself - our approach would have been to wait and to ask the airline to rebook her (which is what my wife and myself did for our own flights). [redacted] then wanted to use her mother's credit card details to rebook the flight, which caused her mother to contact [redacted], who again informed her mother that a full refund of over US$1700 would be made "within 7 to 10 days". There were issues using her mother's credit card, as [redacted]'s policy required contacted the bank in Canada, so I called to make a booking and purchased a new ticket for [redacted] to return to Vancouver (Booking reference #[redacted]) on my credit card, after again being reassured that a full refund of over US$1700 would be made. The reason we queried this matter so often is because we know that one-way air tickets often cost the same as return tickets, and we wanted to make sure that we were not going to be out of pocket. Finally, after her returned to Canada in early August, my wife called [redacted] to find out why she had not received her refund, and was told it would take "1 or 2 billing cycles". Eventually, she received a refund of US$789.62 and an explanation from [redacted] that this was all LOT airlines would pay.Desired Settlement: We would like [redacted] to keep the promise they made to us, and refund the balance of the cost of the original ticket to my wife. The reasons we believe they are liable are:
(a) [redacted]'s original ticket should not have been cancelled without the consent of her mother who paid for it
(b) [redacted] were acting as agents for Lot Airlines in this matter, and committed to making a full refund of the purchase price of the original ticket

Review: Their internet company CheapOair.com advertises refund on airfare within four hours of booking. We booked on Spirit with them, found a much better deal within minutes on US Air. Called back immediately to cancel original booking. We were given the run around and forced to call back many times. Then they told us to be patient for seven to ten days that it would be done but refused to send us anything in writing. This all took place on May [redacted] with followup calls on the [redacted]. Then on May [redacted] we found the had put the credit card charge through on our account. We again called and received more run around along with a statement that Spirit airlines was the only one that would not approve this refund. The refund was promised by CheapOair , we do have this in writing, yet they charged our credit card a day later. We are senior citizens on a limited income and two airline tickets are very costly to us and of course we do not like being scammed. It is very hard to talk to anyone, then when you finally get a person they are somewhere in India and are very difficult to converse with.Desired Settlement: We just want them to honor their contract for a free full refund if canceled within the four hour time limit
