Booking online was easy and reliable

The only problem we had was that we had booked to fly to Bali and our Flight was delayed due to volcanic activity. We had only one email from Helloworld which gave us incorrect information on flight rescheduling and no further notification of delays followed. I thought that maybe if we had booked through an agent we would have been given more information and updates.

Easy to book

Easy to book the flights and they were the cheapest on the day, just make sure to read the fine print, all fees were up and easy to read so no nasty surprises.

Excellent choice!

Would book through helloworld again. Easy to use. Quick online bookings. I found some great rates and hotels offered by helloworld. I checked helloworld for both hotel and flights prior to another online booking company and successfully booked both with no problems at all. Highly recommended.

Fair

I should have read all of the terms and conditions, I have used other agencies like hello world previously and Ithe ones I have used have not charged a booking fee, so to have a fee for using this service has put me off using hello world in the future unless I'm stuck or the offer is worth paying the extra money.

I found the site easy enough to use, I have planned many international holidays for friends, family and ourselves previously, I try to avoid these "extra" costs as they can add up quite quickly.

Thank-you for your honest review and yes we do require at time of booking that you acknowledge that you have read all terms and conditions. Could you advise what the booking fee is that you are referring to as we do not charge any booking fees for online tranasctions and would like to investigate further?

Trustworthy

Have always used Bestflights for finding and booking flights. Have now transferred to Helloworld and so far have received similarly good customer service. It's comforting to know that the support is local and the website is easy to use. So far I haven't encountered any problems so can't say (should I have a problem) how easily they were resolved.

Easy and Quick

Nice and easy to use. Quick to book. However the extra $2 charged to my account was not mentioned anywhere prior to booking

Reply from helloworld.com.au

Thank-you for your review. The $2 is a pre-authorisation (soft charge) to verify with your financial institution the validity of the payment details you entered. When your booking transaction is finalised with the financial institution this amount will drop off. If for any reason this amount hasn't dropped off and you have been fully charged for your booking please call Customer Service for assistance.

doing a booking online does not work for me

i was doing a multi flight booking but when i reached the fourth leg .. i was not able to continue .. i messaged the website and was informed i would need to do extra bookings .. hence creating a new pnr .. which will make it very awkward when checking on with baggage when transits are being ustilised .. so i have decided to use alternate means on the internet to do the booking .. maybe the sooner the problem is rectified .. the better

Thank-you for your review and feedback which has been taken on board. As it appears we are unable to accommodate your specific needs; more than four stop overs; at the present time we can recommend your using one of our in store travel agents as an alternate option. We hope that you will revisit and book with us for other travel as it may arise.

our holiday became a reality

Helloworld on line could do what our local travel agency couldnt. it was easier online than dealing face to face and over the phone with them.

Great website - shame about the Helloworld stores

Thought the website experience was excellent. Really liked the fact that we could not only go through and choose the most suitable flights but could upgrade to a different room type and all the costs were there - open and transparent.
The only issue we had was when we were paying for the trip, the page froze and recorded an error (always a worry when you have used your credit card over the internet).
I had to use the allocated booking number to go back in and check with both Helloworld and Jetset that payment had been made and the trip confirmed.

Booking short holiday break

This was the first time I had booked a holiday with helloworld and it was extremely easy, especially that I was trying to match the flights and hotel accommodation to that of other friends who had already booked. The real test will be once we travel and have no complications!!

Cheapest on the net

I was looking for flights and a hotel and found everything I needed at a reasonable price with Helloworld, all in one web site.
I will definately use them again and recommend Helloworld to all travellers.
