Complaint- BOOKING REFERENCE IS: 19048915

I have booked a flight via the Travelgenio website a couple of days ago and today I received the below email. I couldn't find any way to request a refund and I want my money back since they didn't book the flight.

I called customer service and stayed on hold for an hour, but no one took the calls. I also sent an email to " customer.serviceattravelgenio.com" but there is no reply.

The received email: We are contacting you to inform you that the airline was not able to confirm your booking.

Alternatively, we made a new booking with the best fare available, with a total price of 400EUR (151EUR more than the amount paid) and the following similar flights:

Five stars only for Antonio! Thanks Antonio and team for refunding my money without any further hassle.

My previous compliant:
I paid extra just to get full refund on two tickets (approx euros 1500) in case, I need to cancel the tickets in future. Yesterday Travelgenio promised me that my money will be refunded in 90 days and now, I got an email from the team that they won't be refunding my money. Are you serious? It is 1500euros!! and you are saying that you won't refund a single penny!

Please don't give me the same response-"As previously stated, we are unable to assist as your reason for a refund isn't covered within our terms.

The terms of this service were available for you to read prior to purchase clearly laying out what is and isn't included as valid reasons for refund, as well as the evidence required for each. It is made clear to all customers what this service offers so that you can make an informed choice on whether to spend the money on the extended refund terms or not.

Many thanks

Hi my wife booked return flights for our 3 adult children with @travelgenio which was supposed to depart from Heathrow on flight VS 197 to São Paulo - Buenos Aires on the 24/07/2020. The flights were cancelled by the airlines and after several emails to the agency we will haven’t received any refund, even though it was promised by them. We are still owed £2000 after waiting over 12 months. This is extremely disappointing and I would not recommend this agency due to their poor customer services.

After making this review the company finally paid the refund which is good news so very much appreciated however I had to complain before any action was taken.

I made a booking with Travel genio on Sunday evening and I received confirmation that my flight had been booked. To date I have still not received my e tickets for the flights booked. How do I get my e tickets from your agency?

Never got the refund...
I booked a flight last year and asked for refund because of COVID situation in MAY of 2020! More than a YEAR ago.

Dear Mr./Ms.,

We are contacting you regarding your refund request. We inform you that the amount will be reimbursed by bank transfer, because due to data protection requirements, the system cannot refund to the original payment method after more than a year since the amount was collected.

In order to complete the refund of your tickets, please provide the following bank details:
- Account holder (full name, no initials allowed).
- Account holder’s address.
- Bank name.
- Complete bank address.
- Account number.
- Bank account currency.
- IBAN.
- SWIFT or BIC.

Once we receive this information we will refund your tickets.

Please note that bank details must be complete and accurate. Any incorrect information may cause the bank transfer rejection, in such case bank costs will be deducted from the amount to be refunded (the amount can reach up to 50EUR).

Bank transfers to EU accounts are free, whereas transfers made to countries outside the European Union may have some costs.

Waiting for your instructions.

Kind regards,

I used Kayak to search for a flight. The best price result on Kayak led me to Travelgenio. I bought 2 flight tickets via Travelgenio for USD373.95 on 13 June 2020. However, as a result of changing Covid rules, my trip was canceled (as we were no longer allowed to enter Italy - the destination - as tourists) and on 9 February 2021, the airline issued a full refund to Travelgenio for my tickets.

Travelgenio never informed me about the refund and on 14 July 2021, I found out from the airline that a refund had been issued (I went to the airline to try to use those tickets for another flight when they told me that months ago they had already completed a full refund to Travelgenio). It's been now 10 days of back and forth emailing with Travelgenio about this refund. It seems Travelgenio is reluctant to refund me any of this money. First, they never even informed me that a refund had come in for my tickets in February. When I emailed Travelgenio about the refund in July, they said the airline never issued any type of refund. When I sent proof of the refund, Travelgenio then changed the story and said that the tickets were non-refundable and that they only received a refund for the taxes of the tickets. Travelgenio would also charge me admin fees of 100 EUR to transfer my partial refund, which would leave me with only about 20 EUR out of the USD373.95 that I paid. I've gone back to the airline to confirm that they issued a full refund (which they did in fact do). I've gone back to Travelgenio again, and now they're saying they don't have access to any of my tickets anymore.

I am just being sent in circles by Travelgenio and I have never had this type of experience with any intermediary travel company. It's already bad enough that during Covid we're all losing money on canceled trips, but it's awful when you do manage to get a refund and an intermediary company that provides you with no service takes it all away from you.

I am not sure who to turn to. I have the proof of the refund from the airline. I just want my full refund for the USD373.95 back. I think it's fair since the cancelation was out of my control and the airline took the decision to issue a refund as a result. I don't think it's fair to charge any admin fees in this case since I never made a request for any changes.

Do not, by any reason book tickets with them. Do not! Stay away from them. Kayak should stop doing business with them. They would cancel your return trip arbitrarily, and make you pay for it. I just started suing them for scammers. I am decided not to let them go with it. My advice to you, do not do business with them. They must go out of business. Not an ethical company and won’t listen to their customers

I have used an old email which I no longer have access to in error when making a booking and I therefore could not receive my booking confirmation nor an e-ticket. I have struggled to get the contact details to contact the agent so I could update the email to my current working email. How would get in touch with Travelgenio to sort this out? Why is it that the agent doesn't provide the customer care numbers on its website? I have never had hard times like this.

Due to the ongoing covid crisis we have been unable to travel as the destination (Bali) has gone further into lockdown due to the rise in cases. This reservation was initially booked back in December 2019! I have sent numerous emails to Travelgenio since then requesting a full refund, however I have received no acknowledgment or reply whatsoever. I have been in contact with the airline directly (Qatar Airways) who have already cancelled my reservation and issued the refund from their end. I have tried to call Travelgenio to see if I can get through to someone to speak to, but every time I do they purposely cut the phone after being on hold for approx 30mins. After reading all of these reviews, I have no confidence that this will be dealt with as it should and I am extremely concerned that Travelgenio are purposely avoiding me. A refund status update at this point would go a long way but to receive no communication whatsoever is such bad practice!!! I need someone to get in touch with me immediately otherwise I have no choice but to take legal action.

Our complaint is that we requested a full refund of our flights (tickets 4416394 and 4411881).

We had paid £459.23, with full insurance with the airline - around £55 extra to cover for any eventuality - but we only received a refund of £210.

The site says that our refund was processed. There is no way of disputing this or requesting the remaining refund. We do not know why we only received the partial refund and we want the remaining balance to be refunded please.

There is no working phone number or email for Travelgenio, so no wonder there are so many bad reviews here... people are desperate for some way of contacting them!

Update!
They reply to the review just to look like they will do something about it which is totally false. We've sent the email with all details to the referred customer suport email and weeks have passed without a reply. This company is a total scam. Don't trust them. Book your flights somewhere else.

Absolutely unprofessional service by Travelgenio

Booking Reference: 18920060
1) The ticket price shown at the time of booking was nearly Rs 42000. However, when I put in my credit card details and clicked on "Pay", the price increased and I was charged Rs 45000. This happened without my consent as I was shown Rs 42000 till the end, not 45000. I wish to get the difference of Rs 3000 refunded into my bank account.

2) During booking , it was shown that 2 bags are included in the ticket price. Now, my booking on the website shows 0 bags while the e-ticket email shows 2 bags. So, please clarify

no response to mail/call either I sent over a week ago

I have no tickets! I booked 3 tickets for a flight in 3 days time and have had no email confirmation - all I know is that the money has left my account and I have no reference number, booking code or ID or anything! No ticket obviously
No answer to my phoning you or to my emailing customer services as you advice in all these responses
