Flight Centre Travel Group Reviews (%countItem)

I experienced very horribly!!
I asked one of the agents to help me book airline tickets for ten passengers for Asia Tour. She never informed the international flight fees are higher than the domestic flight. I found out she charged 21% of the total flight tickets when I got back from my tour. Her explanation was her service fees, and I worked hard on the booking. I said, what service besides booking the flight. I told her...
1. You never asked anyone's mileage number.
2. You never asked who wants to seated next to each other.
3. You never asked who needs a special food order.
4. I needed an answer ASAP, and the only thing she can do is email the airline company. I called the airline, and I got the answer in 5 minutes. She emailed me next day, "I'm still waiting for the email reply.
5. She shows me the itinerary she booked, and I needed to correct her mistake. I told the agent "50 minutes is not enough time for change the connection."
6. The itinerary she arranged had seven passengers misspell names out of 10 passengers. It took me 4 hours to correct it.
7. I emailed the agent for help relocating the lost luggage. Of course, the agent emailed me back saying "email the airline" Once again, I called the airline and solved the problem in 5 minutes.
8. She did not handle applying for the visa.
I DID ALL ABOVE, BY MYSELF!
I talked to the manager and told her about the unethical 21% fees. Her explanation was sorry for the miscommunication. I said 21% fees are outrageous. Her excuse was "that's an airline fee charges us and directly charging it to you." I told her "what about the seven passengers careless misspelled itineraries." The manager said, "that's because of foreign names." I was shocked! Liberty Travel Agency has everyone's copy of passport, and they don't know how to spell people's name. By the way, 7 passengers were from Spain.
I'm a female owner of a fast-growing company and travel internationally. I always believe using local. Now I know, not to use Liberty Travel Agency EVER AGAIN. The only things the company cares about is short-term business and NEVER LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP.
If you are thinking about using Liberty Travel Agency, Please think twice before planning to have a business with them.

• On 9/7/2017 I cancelled my trip to Puerto Rico because of Hurricane Irma.
• A refund was requested from *** for the amount of the plane tickets.
• On 10/4/2017, a refund check from *** was sent to ***
• On 10/20/2017 I contacted my travel agent Larry S w/*** Travel letting him know that I had not received my refund from AA yet. I told Larry at that time that I had spoken with a supervisor at AA (Felicia Smith) who gave me the name and address of *** Worldwide Travel where the refund check had been sent on 10/4/2017. He contacted *** and spoke with “***” who told Larry that *** did indeed have my refund and had received it shortly after it was mailed to ***, but, he was “waiting to disburse the funds until he received my travel partner’s refund so he could do one disbursement”. (my travel partner and I paid separately so this made no sense at all).
• 10/20/2017: My travel agent told me he requested that “***” send my refund to me ASAP, and “***” said that I would have the $478.22 back in my account in “48 BUSINESS hours”, which would have been Tuesday 10/24/2017.
• 10/24/2017 NO REFUND in my bank account.
• 10/25/2017: Still NO REFUND in my bank account.
• 10/25/2017: Contacted my travel agent Larry S informing him I still had not received my refund. No response from him.
• 10//25/2017: Attempted to contact “***” at *** with no success.

This travel agency is fraudulent and I want something done so that they don’t do this to anyone else.

My husband and I booked a trip to Puerto Rico in July 2017...we made a deposit of $2000.00 towards our trip...and one month later we were being harassed about making full payment towards the trip which was booked for October and lied about our agreeing to do this. Well, after being made feel uncomfortable by this service agent and the turn of events, we had to change travel plans and switch from travel agent to Unit Leader to assist with the cancellation of Puerto Rico Trip to booking two flight tickets, one car reservation, and one hotel reservation to Arizona. We met with this Unit Leader who had promised to transfer the tickets, with minimal fees and then changed the story by blaming the airlines for the high price of change fee when we paid for the highest insurance which again we were lied to about. The highest insurance did not free us from any transfer or cancellation fees. The process continued with lies and deceit, false advertisement of a product. Unit leader stated that being that we paid the $2000.00 in cash, we would have to go through Liberty travels' credit card for payments or reservations for Arizona. We were told that the Hotel and Car reservations were booked and paid for and that we even had $ left over and would be given to us in a check form. Again, my husband and I went back to confirm that all was paid for and tickets were ready for pick up. Keep in mind that as we made reservations and spoke about our concerns we were told not to worry because everything was taken care of and aid with the cash we had deposited with Liberty Travel. Approximately one to weeks after the trip, husband was already home from trip....our account gets debited $575.00 from the hotel in Arizona? Confused and uncomfortable, I quickly called the Unit leader and left a voicemail...also sent her an email....at this point our bank account is at a negative balance and fees have been tagged on to any bills or use of our personal bank account. We also were charged for the Car rental, which again we were told that was covered with the money Liberty Travel already had from us...So I had numerous concerns. We met with the Unit leader again and she told me that the Hotel should not have charged us because the reservation was being covered, with our money, through Liberty Travel then was told that she never said that the car rental was paid for because "We just don't do that"....What? So why did I hire Liberty travel to reserve and make payments towards my trip? They had our deposit of $2000.00, we were assured that the money we had deposited for our trip covered the change fees and reservations, all of it....and why did this Unit leader leave a message to the Arizona hotel Manager, that They have an emergency? Why did the Hotel Manager tell me that there was no method of payment and that is why we were charged for the room? The Unit Leader then apologized and made a breakdown of all the fees that were paid and how we were left over with $125.00.....but then changed the whole story of what was paid and not paid for the Arizona trip. I am a Cancer survivor suffering severe side effects from Chemo and my husband was on workmen comp which meant we have a very strict budget for everything especially travel. I would like to reimbursed for the hotel reservation of $575.00 and the car rental of $392.00 because at no time in any of our meetings with this Unit Leader were we told we would have to pay for these reservations outside of the $2000.00 we had already deposited towards our trip. I am so uncomfortable and angry....We have been lied to to each and everytime we met with this Unit leader and have had to pay bank fees on a negative balance that we were not expecting therefore did not plan for....I have a ticket still there from the original trip cancellation and I am sick to my stomach at the thought of dealing with these people and Unit Leader because I am afraid they will continue to lie and misrepresent what Liberty Travel does....This experience was the most horrible of my life and for consumers that were very with

Flight Centre Travel Group Response

As per our manager, the consumer was never hassled for final payment. Their consultant called them once as a friendly reminder. We were told the consumer had to change her plans because her son was being scouted by major league baseball teams, this was the reason for the travel changes. They were given a breakdown of what they paid and where the money went, see below. As for the insurance, they chose to cancel their plans which is NOT covered under the insurance policy. Below is the breakdown of what was paid and where the money went to. We cannot refund them any additional monies as everything is accounted for below. Their money that was given to us was used as they were explained to.

The manager did handle making the reservations for them at the hotel and the car rental but they were never paid for. The breakdown shows where their money went. They received the $125 refund back via check in August 2017:

You gave Liberty Travel $2,000.00

Insurance Policy was $618.80

*** ticket to SJU $342.13

*** ticket to SJU $342.13

*** change fees to PHX $223.20

*** Ticket to PHX $348.40

Refund to the *** on 8/28 $125.00

Customer Response

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

1. We were called by the initial agent and I was harrassed over the phone with regards to payment..the agent went as far as asking whether or not I had a credit card to pay for the balance which we did not agree to pay for in a month's time of booking.

2. I explained to Team leader how I felt uncomfortable we felt about the situation with the initial agent and furthermore after the experience we had received a call for my son to attend the showcase in which we wanted to go through the Team leader

3. The team leader did say that the hotel was covered and would be paid through the Liberty Travel credit card, using our cash but that they still needed a our credit card to reserve thehotel...also was told that the car rental would be paid also. We left agency believing and trusting that the Team leader had everything completed and covered

4. The team leader then back tracked and stated that she made a mistake and that she never told us the car rental would be paid for

5. AFTER and only after the trip was done and my husband was home, when we addressed the charge to the Team leader, she said she would contact the hotel because they should not have charged us for the hotel...

6. I spoke to the Hotel manager and was told that there was no payment method through Liberty therefore they charged the card on file holding the reservation and also told me that he had received a message from the Team leader stating that they had an emergency situation he needed to call her back about..

7. After a week or so of going back and forth with the Teleader...dhe then back tracked again and stated that the hotel was never in the total of money we deposited

8. We went over the list again where the Team leader stated that the hotel was in our total however I questioned it by saying if this is truly tcase...why did they charge us the $575.00?

9. The team leader instead of calling us and admitting that she made a mistake from thebeginning...sent me an email with the break down as if we were the ones that wrre incorrect all along

10.No...I do not accept their reply...the business practices of this office are immoral, disrespectfuI, and insulting to us as consumers and people

11. I want my ticket back for the amount of $3342.19, as I feel uncomfortable and instructing of everyone in this specific office and the individuals working out of this office.

12. As a lied to and manipulated consumer....I do not trust or respect these individuals as professionals and therefore want the amount of my ticket returned to me as soon as possible.

13. They will be reviewed and exposed for the deceitful people they truly are
