Luggage

My flight journey was good but my luggage experience was bad. The locks were broken, the zip was broken and since it was a hard case bag the sides were all punched in. Once I reach home I will know what’s been missing.

Easy Booking and customer care.

Easy Booking and customer care.
I booked a flight for my husband. It was easy. A month later, when He was near to fly we couldn’t find the mail with the ticket. I called the customer service and they send us a copy in few minutes.

All good!

In March 2024 I had booked a travel to Turkey staying in a hotel booked via lol travel. On the day of departure I collapsed at home and was unable to travel. Lol travel speedily refunded my booking per the terms and conditions and then some. Last month I booked a hotel in Prague with lol whilst waiting for my flight at Luton airport. Their price was considerably cheaper than other operators and the check in process was seamless. Well done and thanks, lol

Horrible service, dissapointing experience

I can not be more dissapointed..
I have mispelled the name of a passenger when purchasing tickets for a client from the US.

I have contacted the company via e-mail, and requested a change. They let me know it is possible with a 'little' fee of 270€ that, and I quote

"The total cost will be €276.00
The amounts will all be charged to the credit card entered at the time of booking"

I say let's proceed, and I keep on working on different things, forgetting this issue, as in my mind, LOL.TRAVEL will charge me extra and solve the issue.

WRONG

Appearantly, they send me an additional email, this time claiming the payment need to be paid by a different card than the original payment method. WHAT?

"We have sent you a secure link to pay €276.00 with a different card, the link expires in 1 hours."

At this point, it feels like a scam, but can it really be a scam? I gave a benefit of the doubt and wrote to the custumer support again asking for the name change

However this time, they let me know there will also be a penalty fee if I proceed with the name change and I did not agree with accepting the penalty, as the whole fee + penalty + lack of information and responsibility from the lol.travel just seemed disingenuine and unfair.

To this they told me:
Dear client,
we are sorry, but since there are flights in code-share with different airilnes (United and Lufthansa), the name correction is not allowed.

Support did not get back to me afterwards.

I am not only dissapointed, I honestly feel scammed. Lol.travel is unworthy, i wouldn't waste my time and money like this if I knew. I should have checked people's experiences before choosing this company, as there are countless situations just like mine below.

Dear customer we are sorry for your evaluation,
initially we sent you a different email because your ticket had just been issued, but you never replied in time (we sent you the time limit several times).

From now on, since we have to follow the airline's policy for name correction and in your case it is not possible to correct the name because there is a flight, in your itinerary, operated by a different airline.
We have just added this note indicating the correct full name to the airline.
At disposal,
thank you

Dear lol travel

Dear lol travel,
A friend of mine booked me a ticket 3 days ago via lol travel, the reservation status is confirmed. Today was issued a voucher not a ticket, with a ticket number though.
I went to the austrian airlines website to find my reservation giving them the ticket number from the voucher you sent me.
And the are saying there is no reservation found
The cost of return ticket is 1500€!
Can I get a valid ticket please asap
I am supposed to fly in 2 days!
Thank you
PS. The copy of this message is sent to lol travel

Dear Linda,
it is possible to do check in online 24 hrs before departure, directly on the airline's website with the airline reference booking number.
Otherwise it is possibile to do check in directly in airport without additional cost.
Update: Wonderful, we are happy everything is solved and you are satisfied.

Best Regards

Useless company

Useless company. All amendments have to be made to be made manually via email, this is the 21st century how is it not possible to make the change online?

So okay you have to handle the change by email but now they can't take the payment from the same card you paid with. They send a link which expires after 1 hour, which they send in the response to you email that they send when they get round to it, some people have jobs but now dealing with LOL Travel to arrange a simple change of date on the flexible ticket you paid for is now your second job. After you miss the link you call their "24 hour helpline" and just get cut off because there are no agents available seemingly ever. You have now called and emailed but they still spend a whole day without responding and the price has now increased by a third. On top of the €55 admin fee they (not the airline) are charging for wasting your time with this back and forth.

Save your money, save your time, and save your sanity; don't book with a LOL Travel! LOL ;(

Dear customer,

for privacy and security reasons all changes are handled by our operative via e-mail exchange with the practice holder. It is not possible to do this independently online because there is a specialised operator who makes the change and returns the quotations to the customer.
The link is the alternative method when on the first method you mentioned the payment fails. Handling fees are required as stated in our terms and conditions. We see that your ticket has been resolved.

At your disposal for any needs
thank you

Extra costs and no promised checked-in luggage

The flights were quite much cheaper than in other places, which made me use this site even though it looked somewhat suspicious. To my surprise, the reservation did not include checked-in luggage even though they promised it would, and the price bumped up 30€ when finalizing the reservation. I hope the actual flights will go ok...

I didn't like the exchange rate when paying for the ticket. I don't think making money with exaggerated exchange rates is a business model I can appreciate.

Dear customer,
we are sorry for your disappointment. We would like to clarify a few points for you. When booking your flight, it is possible that the fare may be changed. These changes are made directly by the provider, so the booking system informs you of the fare update. In addition to the fare, the total price of the booking also includes certain services and handling fees. For the sake of transparency and user protection, the handling fees are always indicated in full before the purchase commitment is finalised.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Seguimos esperando después de más de un mes una devolución de un servicio... esto es lo que me escribieron la segunda vez que reclamamos el servicio:
"Dear customer, We are sorry for the inconvenience. We have already proceeded with the refund of the service for the return flights. At your disposal Best regards Kiara"
