Shocking!

Shocking!
Beware, you cannot manage your own booking or reach anyone in TravelUp. I've emailed and have yet to receive a response. Called to be advised over 1 hour waiting time. Waited an hour twice to be disconnected on both occasions. Left voicemail for callback which was unsuccessful.
My flight changed and couldn't go ahead due to the minimum layover time not meeting requirements and could not be confirmed. The airline couldn't amend due to Travelup owning the flight.
Would not recommend using this company as you cannot communicate

Extremely Frustrating Experience. Not Recommended

I had a terrible experience with TravelUp. They treated me very poorly and deducted money unnecessarily. My flight was cancelled by the airline, but TravelUp made the situation extremely stressful and frustrating instead of helping.

They did not send my refund on time. I had to wait 9 weeks and eventually had to go through my bank to get my money back. Even then, they deducted some amount, claiming it was an “admin fee.”

What’s worse is that the airline had already refunded them the next day, yet they still delayed my payment and caused a lot of inconvenience.
Very disappointing service. I would not recommend them at all.

Refund to take 6-8 week !!

I have booked a flight with BA to Qatar and it is cancelled by BA so i have requested a refund via travelup. Travelup advised that it will take 6-8 week's for me to received the full refund however I have spoken to BA and they said it takes 7-10 days for the refund to be in the Travel up's account so i am not sure why trravelup would hold my money for 6-8 weeks ? This is a shocking service !!

Good morning,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your frustration regarding the refund timeline and understand how concerning this situation must feel.

We appreciate your comments and understand your concern about the difference between the airline’s processing times and the timeframe provided to you. While airlines may process refunds quickly on their side, the overall refund process can still take longer due to additional verification steps, reconciliation with the payment provider, and internal processing requirements once funds are received. This is why the overall timeframe quoted may differ from the airline’s estimate.

That said, we fully understand that waiting for a refund is frustrating, especially after a cancellation, and we are sorry for the inconvenience and lack of clarity this has caused. Your feedback regarding communication and expectations has been noted and will be reviewed by our team.

We would also like to reassure you that your refund is being processed and will be completed as soon as all necessary steps are finalised.

If you would like us to check the current status of your refund in more detail, please contact us directly with your booking reference so we can assist you.

Thank you again for your feedback and your patience.

TravelUp

Absolutely disgusting customer service

Absolutely disgusting customer service, requested for a refund for my booking almost 4 weeks ago now and was told via email that my refund would take 4-6 weeks to arrive. I called them up today and now someone else is telling me it will take 6-8 weeks for my refund to arrive. They are a bunch of lying scumbags so do not book with them !

Good morning, Arif Chowdhury,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your frustration regarding the refund timeline and the inconsistent information you feel you have received.

We fully understand how upsetting it is to be given different timeframes, especially when you are waiting for a refund. This is not the experience we want for our customers, and we sincerely apologise for any confusion or inconvenience caused.

Refund processing times can sometimes vary depending on the airline and payment provider involved, and in some cases updates may be provided based on different stages of the process. However, we recognise that this should be communicated clearly and consistently, and we are sorry that this has not been your experience.

Your comments have been taken seriously and will be escalated for review with the relevant teams to ensure better clarity and consistency in future communication.

If you would like us to check the current status of your refund, please contact us directly with your booking details so we can assist you as a priority.

Once again, we are sorry for the frustration caused and thank you for your feedback.

TRAVEL UP, What customer service?

Firstly I cannot complain about the ease of booking and the price paid, these were great.
When it comes to cancel my flight to dubai then on to Thailand with the airline, and the airline saying I could cancel due to the ongoing situation in Iran, I must say this company is unbelievably bad, actually the worst I have ever experienced. I cannot cancel and ask for a refund direct from the airline as i booked through Travelup. I have tried to cancel and get a refund the following ways, Telephone, standard line, flight line, complaints line, (youre 57th in the queue and waiting time of over an hour, if you can wait or the line doesnt go dead), email normal email, complaints email, refund email, (told the mail boxes are full and my email cannot be delivered, this has happened countless times). I understand due to the current situation these flight suppliers are busy and cannot do everything however Im at my whits end trying to cancel and get a refund, also Im not due to fly until the 27th April and guaranteed if i just dont turn up I wont be able to cancel.
This is a company of two halves on ease and price the other if there is a problem is a half of no and i mean NO customer service.
Spoilt an experience that could be great for one that could be expensive due to circumstances out of my control.
BEWARE people this isnt a place I would want anyone to be in!

Honestly horrible customer service

Honestly horrible customer service. You call at any time on their urgent number and you'll be higher than 15th in queue. Called the other day, was 31st in line to speak to an agent, after an hour I got to 15th and stayed at 15th for another. Gave up after 2 hours on the phone

Good morning, Habibur Rahman,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and the distress this situation has caused you.

We understand how upsetting it is when travel plans are disrupted due to flight cancellations, especially when this also impacts other arrangements such as accommodation. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration you have faced.

When flights are cancelled by the airline, we follow their refund and rebooking policies and work within the options made available to us by them. In some cases, alternative arrangements or credit options may be limited depending on airline conditions and fare rules. However, we fully appreciate how disappointing this is when you are left out of pocket.

We are very sorry that you feel you did not receive the level of support expected during this time. Your comments regarding communication and assistance have been noted and escalated for review with the relevant teams.

If your case has not yet been fully resolved, we would welcome the opportunity to look into this for you. Please contact us directly with your booking details so we can review your situation in full.

Once again, we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your feedback.

I am extremely disappointed with the…

I am extremely disappointed with the service from TravelUp. My flight scheduled for tomorrow was cancelled, and I was not informed in any way—no email, no notification, nothing. This lack of communication is completely unacceptable and has caused me significant stress and inconvenience.

As a customer, I expect to be promptly informed of any changes, especially something as important as a flight cancellation. Because of your failure to notify me, I have had no time to make alternative arrangements.

I would like an immediate explanation for this oversight, as well as clear guidance on what compensation or rebooking options are available to me. This experience has seriously affected my trust in your service.

Good morning, Ms. Khan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about the distress and inconvenience this situation has caused you.

We fully understand how upsetting it must be to learn that your flight was cancelled so close to departure, especially without receiving a notification in advance. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologise for the lack of communication you experienced.

In some cases, flight schedule changes or cancellations are made directly by the airline, and notifications are issued through their systems as well as ours. However, we recognise that this should be clearly communicated and promptly relayed to customers, and we are very sorry that this did not happen effectively in your case.

We appreciate how urgent this matter is for you. Your feedback has been escalated to our team for immediate review, and we would like the opportunity to assist you with rebooking or reviewing available options as a priority.

Please contact us directly with your booking reference so we can look into this urgently and provide you with the most suitable solution.

Once again, we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused and thank you for bringing this to our attention.
