My experience with Marvin was the necessary component to my successful booking. Marvin was very helpful, patient (I’m a befuddled 78 years old.), and creative all the while seeking a good price for my ticketing. Give my thanks to Marvin. B. Hansen

Flight was booked for wrong date

Initially, the flight was booked for wrong date, Booking process was confusing. I have never had this issue before. However the support team worked with me to get it fixed. It cost more but date was changed and the support team was very helpful.

Easy to use and fast / user friendly platform.
My ticket was issued almost instantaneously, which is quite nice for a third party intermediary. Would highly recommend TrustPilot as a booking source for your next trip.

Marvin was a big help to me

Marvin was a big help to me. He kindly and quickly responded to my request for a seat assignment. He also reached out right after I purchased the airline ticket to let him know what he could do for me. He was great!

Outstanding customer support in a time crunch

I had to book an emergency flight home from overseas. I encountered an issue with the payment process and called customer support right away, as the flight was scheduled to leave within 24 hours. The payment process issues (no fault of thrive, bank side issue) caused the initially booked flight slot to fill-Thrive was still able to get me book on another flight, the same day near the same time. And at the same price. I couldn’t have asked for better customer service, the representative I spoke with was Michael Boyd. Huge thank you to Thrive, and Micheal for stepping up and quickly resolving the issue. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Not uncommon to face a banking issue with last minute bookings, but we're here to help! All we need is an open channel of communication with our customers and we really appreciate your availability to resolve this!

I wouldn’t use this company

I wouldn’t use this company, I booked a flight, willing to pay the posted price, because of my age the website made me book as a senior, at a lower price, a few hours later I received an email saying there were no tickets available for the flight at the price, I was willing to pay their full asking price. I then booked for a different flight, received the confirmation and again received an email saying they couldn’t book the flight for a different reason. I wasted a day with them. I would never recommend this company. I am now travelling by train.

Dear customer, we are really sorry that your orders did not go through. It sometimes happens with last minute purchases and it's outside of our control. The airlines decline directly. That said, our agent Jenna was reaching out to you throughout the process and had emailed with options honoring the same rate that we could book for you - perhaps her emails went to spam? This is unfortunate as we could have helped, and we do hope that you'll come back to us and our agents will be happy to assist.
