DO NOT make the mistake of booking with them!!!
My husband and I bought airline tickets and were charged TWICE:
1st charge) Airline in the amount of the tickets (totall less 1,540.00)
2nd charge) Agent booking fee? ( Less 1,490)
TOTAL over 3k in charges.
What did I do about it? Immediately called my credit card company who in turn called them but was UNABLE to reach the merchant???
I then called their 800 #( 1800-525-0400) provided on my itinerary. First number said "this phone number is not accepting calls at this time."
My second try was another number (1866-636-9088):
First operator hung up after asking my booking number (I was on hold for 15 mins)
Second operator " I am not in charge of this I will transfer you to billng."
Third operator (aka billing dept) " hung up on me after I explained the situation)
Fourth attempt : called and like went fast busy
Fifth attempt : called and phone rang for about a minute until the call was never picked up and went blank
sixth attempt : Called and rang for a while then went to what sounded like a cell phone " This phone number is not accepting calls at this time."
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
I never gave up and in between I called the airline to notify of possible fraud.
SEVENTH or EIGHT ATTEMPT, (lost count after so many tries):
Operator ANSWERS!!! : Name was Julius and he was pleasant. I asked for a supervisory right away. Put me on hold for 23 minutes and came back with a supervisor named Aiden. Sounds like am offshore call center.
Aiden looks at the charges and politely explains : " oh yes yes, those charges are pending and we will credit you within 49 hours."
WHAT?!!! you mean to tell me that if you purchase a ticket with cheap o air they will double charge you with NO WARNING?!
Answer is YES so DONT DO IT
BOTTOM LINE:
CALL THE AIRLINE AND BOOK DIRECTLY and avoid all extra charges and fee's
They LIE LIE LIE and charge you more and when you call them they don't answer...
I SMELL CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT HERE!!!
