Hello Marcel,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Airfares fluctuate based on live airline availability and market demand, so prices can increase or decrease at any time after a booking is finalized. Unlike some platforms, we do not offer price matching or partial refunds for price drops after purchase.

To explain this in detail and answer any further questions, a member of our team will call you shortly.

Kind regards,
Steve

Hello Shivram,

Thank you for bringing this experience to our attention.

Selected flight details are processed automatically based on the selections made during checkout. Once a ticket is issued, applying changes or processing a cancellation requires following the specific fare rules and fees set by the airline.

To look into the booking record and review the charges applied to the account, please reply directly to the latest email received from customer support.

Kind regards,
Leo

Hello Peter,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your review.

Once a booking is confirmed and issued, the reservation is bound by the specific fare rules established by the airline. These rules determine whether cancellation, changes, or full refunds are permitted for that specific ticket type, meaning travel agencies cannot manually override those policies.

Kind regards,
Leo

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.

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
