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.
