Hidden cost

It offered the cheapest price at Skyscanner. However, when I was booking the tickets and about to pay, there was a sudden 260 euros increase in the price as "management fees". I then aborted the purchase. I hate hidden costs.

Good experience, just some items to improve in the customer experiencie

Initially my experience was a but scary because I bought my ticket and the booking reference sent via email didn't match with the airlines but if you actually create your account into lol.travel's portal you'll find your booking reference that matchs the airline. It's just a matter of improving their UX when sending confirmation emails.

Besides that, I could fly and everything was good.

The other pain I had is that, I paid for a FLEXIBLE GUARANTEE TICKET but it's kind of useless because when I was trying to use it, I should still pay a lot which was not super clear when buying.

My bad experience on that end, is that I followed the steps that were in the terms and conditions and sent 7 different emails through their customer support form and didn't work. But then I could open a different case through their site's customer support (not through the portal) and I could receive a quick response from the team.

So I'd say I can trust this company but they just need to improve the user experience and references to make the customers feel safe and understand that normally people pays too much for flights to not feel safe when something is needed.

Thanks.

Dear Victoria,

thank you for your evaluation and suggestions, we appreciate it. We would like to clarify that we send via email our pnr and the one of the airline, it is stated in private area on our site. There are both our booking reference and the one of the airline, it is also stated the usage of the airline PNR. About FLEXIBLE GUARANTEE TICKET as stated in T&C cover the penalty fee so you won't pay it, but fare difference and management fee needs to be paid.

We remain at your disposal for any explanation needed,
thank you

reservation for a flight

On April 6, I made a reservation for a flight, which was very expensive. However, to this day, I have not received my ticket or any update on the status of my reservation. I have reached out for assistance but have yet to receive a response. I really hope this is not a scam. I am waiting for your prompt reply.

Estimado cliente,

lamentamos su valoración.
Durante el proceso de reserva del vuelo es posible que la tarifa cambie. Dichos cambios son aplicados directamente por el proveedor, por lo que el sistema de reservas le avisa de esta actualización de tarifas en la fase previa al cumplimiento de la obligación de compra.
Lamentamos que la tarifa seleccionada en el momento de la búsqueda ya no esté disponible en el momento de la reserva, sin embargo, en aras de la claridad, cualquier cambio de precio se notifica siempre en un momento anterior a la confirmación de la autorización de pago, en la búsqueda de la máxima protección de los consumidores.

No dude en ponerse en contacto con nosotros para cualquier aclaración necesaria,
Gracias.

Avoid this website

Avoid this website. NEVER process large transactions as it may result into glitching. I booked a ticket from Malta to Shanghai and it costs FORTUNES. The payment didn’t process and I had to contact my bank to stop the card. In my opinion, it’s a scam

Disastrous experience they make you pay 55e of management fees if the company makes any change and they don-t allow you to access your reservation to make any change in order to scam you.

Avoid this company at all costs. They will charge you more than the ticket's price displayed. *The price of the ticket was unchanged *even after hours after purchasing)

Don't buy with them

Their form in the website doesn't work. The telephone always says "all of our agents are busy" and then they hung up. Also, they will never give you back the money in case of illness.

Check your currency before purchasing!!!

Clicked a link to a promotion which took me to Lol.travel.

When I was satisfied with the offer I moved to purchase the ticket. For some reason, and I'm not saying that it was lol.travel's mistake, but the currency changed to euro without any request or clear indication! Needless to say I spent money I didn't have...

I immediately e-mailed and requested a cancelation and a refund. Explaining my situation in detail. They then replied asking me to explain the situation in detail.... which I did again. I then later received an email which stated that I should confirm my decision and that I have till 7pm Italian time to do so... This was at 11 pm Italian time.

I was very emotional and frustrated by how they could feel justified by giving such a small window which they claimed was 24hours for such a weighted decision.

After nagging they agreed to: "We inform you that cancellation of your ticket outbound + inbound, before departure*, is possible with a penalty of € 92.00 for every adult passenger (2) + € 55.00 for our management fees)

I know to some people this isn't much but my country that's almost a months rent....

Dear Customer,

we are sorry that you had not a good experience with us.
Regarding your request we inform you that on our site it is possible to select the currency with which you want to make the payment. If the preferred currency is not available, payment is made in Euros as showed.

The email you received in the afternoon stated that you had to confirm your decision by 19:30pm Italian time, you answered the day after so we had to follow the rules of your ticket as it was written in the e-mail. Once you have confirmed the cancellation
we immediately proceed with refund.

At your disposal,
thank you
