Company is not trustworthy

Company is not trustworthy. Somehow my flight codes got switched and I called them immediately after booking. They refused to edit it and instead charged a 95% fee of the price.

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for leaving a review.

It's not that we are not trustworthy. Flight details are processed directly through the system based on the exact selections made on screen during checkout. Once a booking is completed, modifying flight segments or ticket details requires following specific ticket change conditions.

You will be contacted by customer support to ensure what is the possible help we can offer as per the airline policies.

Kind regards,
Leo

I purchased seats through BudgetAir but they are not showing as purchased on the New Zealand Air website, under the confirmation number. So it looks like I will need to purchase seats again. Not good.

Hello Jennifer,

Thank you for leaving a review.

Seat requests submitted through the booking system are sent directly to the airline for confirmation. Air New Zealand is currently processing the seat request, and an update with the confirmed seat numbers will be delivered as soon as the airline completes the confirmation.

An agent will monitor the seat status and send over the updated details right away.

Kind regards,
Leo

Hello Kyomi,

Thank you for leaving a review.

Flight schedule updates and route modifications are decided directly by the airlines, which means these timing adjustments are outside direct agency control. Making sure travellers receive clear support, accessible alternatives, and proper guidance during an airline change remains a priority.

When a review is shared without a specific reason related to the reservation, locating the account and investigating what happened becomes a challenge.

Hello Patipan,

Thank you for sharing your review.

Clear information and accessible documents are essential for a smooth booking experience. When flight schedules are changed by an airline, ticket choices and refund conditions depend strictly on the airline rules confirmed at the time of booking. Once a choice or schedule adjustment is finalised under those rules, further changes or refunds may no longer be permitted.

Kind regards,
Leo

I misclicked the wrong date on the calender

I misclicked the wrong date on my flight reservation and notice it right away when i got the confirmation. The agent was very strict on their policy and couldn’t change the date without charging the cancelation fees and asked me to rebook again, while the own airline can give a full refund in the 24h regardless of the ticket type choosen

TAP confirmed BudgetAir could act, BudgetAir refuses

I booked a TAP Air Portugal flight (Lisbon to Seville, 10 September 2026) through BudgetAir for my elderly mother. The surname on the ticket needs a correction to match her passport — a simple name correction, same passenger, and I raised it right after the purchase with her passport as proof.

BudgetAir's response: "Contact the airline yourself." So I did. TAP Air Portugal told me explicitly that they cannot process the correction for me — because the ticket was issued by BudgetAir, the correction must be submitted by BudgetAir, as the issuing agent, through TAP's agent helpdesk.

I relayed this back to BudgetAir with TAP's instructions. BudgetAir still refuses to act and keeps deflecting to the airline. Each side of this loop has been documented in writing.

To be clear about the stakes: an elderly passenger will be denied boarding over a clerical issue that takes the issuing agent minutes to submit. BudgetAir collected the fare, holds the sole authority to fix the ticket, and simply will not do its job as the issuing agent.

I am asking BudgetAir to submit the name correction to TAP's helpdesk immediately and confirm with an updated itinerary. Booking reference available upon request.

Hello Jason,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

Name correction policies and conditions are established directly by the airline, and modifications must strictly follow their guidelines. Agency systems must operate within the airline's established rules and cannot overrule them.
