  • Maybe the worst customer service (via phone)
    I have experienced.

    Tried several times to contact succeeded only once Placed on hold for up to 90 minutes. No system for telling you where you are in the que.

    When they finally answered it was as if I was interrupting them.

    God help anyone who may have to contact these folks in an emergency.

  • This sort of customer service is exactly why we need a consumer protection agency. This sort of treatment should not be allowed. I just have a simple question regarding my itinerary and I've already been on hold for 35 minutes. Pathetic.

  • First time booking a flight through Travelocity and I just found out that the customer service is just terrible. You can spend hours on call for just simple issues.

    Avoid this company, use Expedia or others instead.

  • Worst customer service known to man and the trip insurance that they offer seems to be a "bait and switch" plan as it does not seem to cover anything. I would never again book a trip using this company. As has been noted in previous commnets all of their customer service reps are located in India and they seem either unwilling or unable to help you when a problem comes up that is not on their flow charted "answer/response" sheet....

  • I purchased a ticket and $200,000 medical, eval and repatriation insurance together, as the trip was not possible without insurance per the tour company I was joining in Cairo.

    The insurance confirmation did not come as promised, so I called and spoke with Tina at Travelocity on 1/21. I carefully explained several times that without the medical, evacuation and repatriation insurance, the airfare was not usable. They were purchased as a package on the website and had to be confirmed as a package or canceled. She was very secretive, so at one point, I asked what the big secret was that I could not know what the booking number or insurance details were. Eventually, she gave me a reference number and said she would be sending the coverage confirmation and details by email. I waited another 4 days and am now told there is no insurance and I can not cancel the airline portion of the trip. The VISA company was able to cancel the THREE insurance charges for the ONE insurance police purchase that does not exist (according to the insurance company). The original insurance charge was already canceled. If Travelocity was legit, why sell non-existent policies, then charge three or four times for them? There are more honorable ways to make money. Rene, supervisor in India, has just advised me that if I did not have proof of conversation with Tina, it didn't happen. You must record all Travelocity conversations for your protection. I would suggest going elsewhere, read other comments regarding their "poor" service.

  • Tonight, I booked a flight and hotel. I attempted to contact Travelocity to adjust the departure time. I first attempted to use their online feature. It was a dead link.

    I then tried to call them. I was on hold for 30 minutes the first time before I had to do something else. The second time 55 minutes, PRIOR to finding that any change to my reservation whatsoever was a $300 fee. BTW, their email "contact us" is setup to have a field state you have not completed the form correctly when all forms are complete. THANKS Travelocity - Great job. I sure hope the Amazing Race drops you. I couldn't rate the remaining items below, because I never was able to find anyone.

  • Long story but NEVER using them again - LESSON LEARNED. Do NOT trust their Best Price Guarantee - I sent them screen shots and iternari/TRIp ID # of those who booked the exact same flights after me and was still refused a refund.

  • Those booking "Last Minute Packages" would be well served to know that if the AGENT makes a mistake and enters your name and information incorrectly you will NOT get a refund.

    You will only be offered a refund. Full story:

  • Do not use Travelocity I got over charged by Travelocity for 120$. The charge was for an error in my flights. The told me that I was going to have a surcharge of 247$ but I got 367$ instead. All the documents (e-mails) after my changes made are for 247$ surcharge, but Travelocity now says that the 120$ fee that is more is their fee. But it does not figure on any papers that they sent me.

    They say that they will satisfy you when you use their services, but after the use ...

    DO NOT BOOK ANY FLIGHTS WITH TRAVELOCITY.

  • when i changed my air tickets i was not told there would be a 70% penalty when i went to rebook the tickets. if i had been told that i would not have canceled them. it took almost a month to get them to agree to listen to the tape of the conversation, then they said they didnt have the tape. i have talked to 8 people including managers, they all sound like indian robots who read their computer screen and say you were told about the penalty. the worst customer service from a big company i have ever seen

  • I don't understand the policy plan that Travelocity has. It doesn't make any sense to the customer. You called with an issue and all they do is transfered you to another rep, which send you to another rep. They told to called the Insurance Provider and he said that I need to speak with the travel agent. I am very disappointed with the services. Nobody gives you a stright answer. I

  • This is the third time I have tried to get this mattter corrected. The first two times I tried I was connected to service representatives who's english was not understandable. This last time I finally hung up after waiting for 20 minutes for someone to answer the call. I book a round trip flight to Anchorage around the first of October. I got sick on the 13th and had to cut my trip short to seek medical treatment for Dysentary. I tried to change flights with a travelocity representative twice the evening of the 14th and had no success. Their comprehension of the english language was either severely limited or they were trained to be conveniently obscure in their handling of my problem. I have used travelocity in the past with few or no problems. But the indifference of their handling of my problem will make me avoid using their service in the future if this is not handled to my satisfaction. My frustration in dealing with Travelocity drove me to book a return flight on NWA at a cost of $909.70. If their is anyone out their from travelocity that actually reveiws these complaints I would certainly appreciate the refund on the return flight or even better if they would cover the cost of my NWA flight.

  • I have now been on the phne for 39 minutes trying to figure out the procedures if any of how to cancel, move, or credit a flight due to flu like symptoms, possibly H1N1, and I cant get any answers. What a shame. I'm exhausted, tired, chilled, achy, all I want to do is go to bed, but I don't want the Department of Defense to have to suck up the cost of this ticket.

  • I will never use this company again. Write, call, email, do whatever you want - all you are going to get is transferred to a call center in India where they will read a script to you.

  • We purchased 2 airfare tickets from Travelocity with Airtran and our flight was posponed for 3 hours and then another 1:30 because of huricane Bill. After almost 5 hours of waiting the Airtran agent accepted our cancelation and gave us s refund receipt for 458.50. The problem is that we paid Travelocity with Amex and it's been 2 months and they are still telling us that the maoney are being processed. We spoke with Travelocity Customer Service for about 5 hours (total time) during this 2 months and their service is the worst I ever encountered. They barely speak and understend English. We filed a claim with Amex and a complaint with Better Business Bureau and I consider taking action on Twitter and youtube. This kind of service is unaceptebale in US

  • Will never use TRAVELOCITY. They are interested only our $$ but NOT in providing CUSTOMER SERVICE. Was on hold for more than 1 hour.

  • I will never use Travelocity again.
    Booked an airline ticket several weeks before I was to go.
    The airline Northwest and travelocity advertised lower fares using the same flight numbers.
    I called Travelocity and they would do nothing.

  • I will never use Travelocity again! They say they back up/ guarantee but in reality they just blame the airline and charge double for changes! Do NOT use they do not help you but say repeatedly..."it's the airline not us". What is the point of using them if they offer no protection?'

  • I made the mistake of trying to rent a car through Travelocity. I made the reservation and at the end of the process, I was instructed to click on "$20 Cash Rebate". I did so and found that the web site I was directed to was "down". I called Travelocity Customer Service and told them. When the agent couldn't help me, I asked for the supervisor. THAT IS WHEN THE LINE WENT DEAD. I called again and was told that the rebate was not through Travocity, but through another company and I was to call them. SAVE TIME, AGGREVATION, AND BOOK CARS DIRECT.....This was a time waste miserable experience.

  • I booked a trip thru Sam' Club to Disney World--first big mistake--offered a package deal--wrong??? Flight and rooms were thru Travelocity-worst rooms at the resort--worst seats on the plane-also Sam's Club doesn't tell you there is a seperate charge in the package for the airline tixs. Never again--never again for Disney--all of it is a RIP! Thousands of dollars wasted!!!

  • They have simply raised the bar for poor service. I followed the instructions given in their email after I made my trip plans and paid for them. There was a problem during the trip and I was told that I should have ignored their instructions and I should contac the individual carrier directly myself. They simply refused to help me.

  • This was the worst experience that I have ever had booking flights. Twice I tried to book them online and after my information was entered, it would say that an error had occurred. I had to call twice to verify that my credit card had not been charged, however that is to be seen. The third time, I called, I had no idea what the operator was saying on the other end, I had to hang up and call back a fourth time. This girl was somewhat better at her English, but still very difficult to understand. She charged me an additional $75 to key the info into the computer. She then came up with a price almost $300.00 more than their website quoted. She argued with me for fifteen minutes that the price was correct. After I refused to back down, then she came up with the price that I told her it should have been. This ordeal took a total of four hours. This was ridiculous!!!

  • I tried for over two hours last night to make a reservation. I then contacted travelocity and waited for 10 minutes.

You need to do something about your service.

  • I work at a hotel here in colorado and I just wanted to let everyone know that travelocity is a huge scam! they put you in the cheapest rooms in our hotel and 9 times out of 10 you will have a better rate booking your room through the hotel directly. What they do is charge you more than get the cheapest room at one of our hotels and then they make commission of of you! Often the credit card that travelocity gives us declines and guest's lose out on hundreds of dollars! Why? Because if you call the costumer care line given above you will be on hold for hours! no one ever answers! It is so annoying getting reservations from travelocity because i know that more than likely this company is going to mess something up and I at the front desk will end up getting yelled at by the VERY angry guest who booked their vacation through them! DO NOT USE THEM

  • worst service ever in the history of Airline services. I had tried to call them for 4 hours but they keep transfering me. I give up and lost my $900 US dollars

  • Terrible, horrible, pathetic, and unreliable company. I’ll never ever go through them again. I reserved a package with them last year, and we tried to make some changes. They gave us credit for the airlines supposedly good for a year. This year we tried to use the credit they said they will refund the amount minus $200 dollars for some kind of service. I’ve been waiting for over 3 weeks without hearing a word. When I call they don’t answer…………Now I’m stuck can’t reserve a vacation because I don’t know if I’ll get my money back or not. I call and I’m on hold for over 40 minutes no one answers…………..DO NOT GO THROUGH THEM!

  • Unfortunately my experience with Travelocity was disappointing. I had booked a flight on-line only to get an e-mail requesting to call customer service. When I got in contact with a Travelocity agent I was informed that there was a discrepency in the connecting flights at one of the airports. (Lay over regulations require a 30 minute interval between flights, my connecting flight had a lay over of 24 minutes) Due to their error the only option they could offer was to cancel the existing reservation and produce an entirely new one. In addtion, they were not going to honor the price from my original itinerary and would have me pay the difference in cost, which is unacceptable because that was not an error on my part, but theirs. All the while Travelocity continues to give me the run around saying that it was the verification process on my credit card-- stating that the address didn't match my billing address, then it was the misconnecting flight. Although, Travelocity attempted to find another flight - they said there was no other option they could offer me, except to cancel and create an enitrely new reservation. Back to square one. So, I canceled the reservation and now am looking for buisness else where. The time to correct a problem that wasn't even my own was not worth it and Travelocity should get there act together for a more satisfactory experience for customers overall. I would not recommend Travelocity to anyone.

  • I actually just called their customer service and a nice lady with very decent english was able to help me out within 3 min. Was holding only for about 5 min maybe which is normal.
    Reading all the reviews, I guess I was lucky... ))) My problem in fact was not complicated at all, so maybe that's why it was resolved easily.
