I had a pre-paid reservation for two for a Las Vegas hotel. My sister, who was sharing the room with me, arrived from Sacramento five hours before my flight arrived and was not allowed to check-in because the reservation was in my name. The hotel manager told me if we had booked direct, they would accomodate us but since we booked through Travelocity, only they could change the name on the reservation. I called Travelocity to explain the situation and they refused to do anything.

I was booking round trip airfare for 2 to the carribean thru travelocity. I was quoted an all inclusive price of $949.00 which I proceeded to book, and received a confirmation for. When I went back a week later to review the details of the flights, I found the price had been bumped up to $1,050.00. I contacted Travelocity's customer service dept. which asked me to send them any documentation of the price difference. I sent the confirmation twice, sent two additional requests for a correction, and have received no reply. Additionally, the company presented a seating chart of the plane showing only few seats left, when the actual flights were half full. This is outright fraud, to create a situation of scarcity to induce consumers to book immediatly.

I booked a 'package trip' for my son and a companion from Memphis, TN to Bermuda for $1664.97. A business conflict came up and I started trying to cancel this trip 1/31/06. I was finally able to speak to a supervisor on 2/13/06 but still have no resolution with the trip cancellation and/or rescheduling.
I tried to reschedule the trip for 5/11/06-5/14/06 and was told that no 'package' was available for those dates. I then asked for dates that had packages available and they couldn't/wouldn't give me a list of dates so I just started asking for dates. I finally found a date with a package available but it wduld cost an additional $1307 to change the dates (same airline/same hotel).
To completely cancel this trip itwas going to cost $1493.43!
Delta has flights going to Bermuda daily and the hotel has rooms available for the dates in May but Travelocity is choosing not to allow me to change dates without it costing me an additional $1307.

When searching for airline tickets on Travelocity, I found that they would raise the fare just as I was about to complete my purchase...I checked the actual airline site and found thier price to be about $140.00 cheaper. The Travelocity price is approximately equal to the published airline price until you go to make the purchase...then they raise the price.

I booked $4,200 airline ticket. The reservation got processed and i recieved a confirmatin email, but about 10 minutes later i got an email saying "We are unable to complete the processing of the reservation you made on our system... ...Your reservation has not been ticketed.". I called customer service, he explained their was a baggage aggreement problem between the carriers involved so we found another flight that would work. At that time I asked the Travelocity agent "was my credit card charged for the previous attempt?" his answer was no, that my credit card was not charged for the previous attempt as it was impossible for Travelocity to charge the credit card until the ticketing process was completed. Since my reservation was not ticketed, my card was not charged.
However, it was and I could not use the card to book the new flight because the limit was $5000 and the previous attempt charge of $4200 WAS still on the card. So, "your credit card was not charged for the first attempt" was not true (strike 1). I called back, explained the situation to the next agent I talked to, she said that Travelocity did not "charge" the $4200, but they just put a "hold" for that amount and that the hold would only stay on for 24hrs. So I waited 24hrs, the charge was still there (strike 2). I called back, and the next agent said that the charge would come off within 72hrs and there was nothing she could do except call the bank directly (which she did, but the bank was closed for new years holiday) (strike 3). I then demanded to talk to a supervisor, who has said that she will call the bank herself in the morning to remove the charge and call me back directly (we'll see).
All agents and the supervisor I talked to were polite and did attempt to help, however, none made an progress to resovle my issue. This appears to be a problem with the Travelocity Transation system. They should not complete the transaction nor put a hold on the amount for a transaction if their system can't ticket a reservation.

In December of 2004, I booked flights for myself and my significant other with Travelocity.com. One set of tickets was for Miami to Curacao, the second set of tickets was for Curacao to Bonaire. Both flights were roundtrip and operated by American Airlines. The first set of tickets was to be issued electronically, the second set for some reason could not be issued electronically, and was supposed to be delivered in paper form by Fed Ex. I recieved a confirmation email. After waiting 2 weeks for the paper tickets, I called their customer service number to inform them that the paper tickets never arrived.
I spoke with an Indian accented man who was very hard to understand. I gave him all of my information. He then told me that I had no existing reservations with travelocity. I was very distressed, as I had already made hotel reservations and the flights I had booked were sold out. I was forced to rebook my vacation for 1 week later. This time I booked directly through American Airlines. When I returned home from my trip, my credit card bill reflected a charge from travelocity for the two electronic tickets ($800). I called the number listed and explained the situation. I talked to a woman who seemed to understand and she gave me a number to call to claim $800 worth of credit from American Airlines, which was valid for up to 1 year.
I paid off my credit card bill, intending to use the credit for my next trip, this December. When I called in September to use my credit to book flights to the Bahamas, they told me they didn't know what I was talking about. They said they have no records of the calls that I made to their customer service (the first mentioned nor the second). They told me that American Airlines would not refund their money and it was a loss to me. They gave me an email address to write to, which I did several times, with no response. it is nearing 1 year since i originally tried to book the filghts.

Traveled to care for hospitalized grandfather. Had power-of-attorney and had to cancel flight on 10/2/05. Told Travelocity about the circumstances. They charged $30 cancel fee and American Airlines charged $100.00 cancel fee. Faxed Doctor's letter on 11/2/05. I called them on 11/10/05 to request status.

I originally booked a trip to Las Vegas. The package price I paid included 4 persons total, 2 adults and 2 children. The hotel reservation however only shows 2 persons. The 2 children will be charged again upon arrival. I should not have to pay again since the original package that I paid for already include them on it. Travelocity agent screwed up the hotel booking and is refusing to pay for the 2 extra occupancies.

On October 10th, I have called Travelocity to make a reservation for the hotel in Paris for the dates of Dec 21st-Jan 10th. Travelocity's sales representative then proceeded to finding me a fare which was acceptable, after that he told me that this hotel was not refundable and I asked him is there any way to find a way to reserve a room without such a strict policy. He answered "Yes, if you book it directly with us(Travelocity) and not the hotel directly. Naturally, I have told him that I would like to proceed with the "refund guaranteed" option because my itinerary may change and I may not need this reservation.
So he told me it was no problem and I will get my money back. We went through with the transaction during which I asked him again to double check, will I be able to get my money back in case of the cancellation of this particular reservation and he said "Yes, you will get your money back if you cancel this rservation." My plans have changed in 3 days so on October 13th I have called Travelocity back and stated that I would like to cancel the reservation which I made previously. To my statement 4 agents have responded that I will not be issued a refund due to their company's policy of non-refundable reservation. I tried to dispute by reciting my conversation with their sales representative where he specifically told me that I will be issued a refund upon cancellation. However none of the agents had anything remotely reasonable to answer to that.
They have kept reciting me their policy which I was never cited by the sales rep upon the transaction in the first place. After numerous hours on the phone trying to get one person who would be able to resolve this issue I had gotten no solution from their customer service.

On June 13th, 2005, my husband and I arrived at Sandals Ocho Rios, Jamaica for our honeymoon. Upon our arrival,which was one day later than it was supossed to be due to US Airways problems, we were told that we had been placed in a room 1 1/2 miles away from the beach. We had booked and had paid for an oceanfront room. After arguing with the staff, we were told that we could extend our vacation 1 night on them, if we could get our flight changed. My husband contacted Travelocity and explained the situation. He reminded them of their policy that they guarantee you will get the room you book or they will take care of the problem for you.
After continuously being put on hold, he explained that the resort was willing to give us another night if we could get our flight changed. He also explained that we had paid for one night that we weren't even there due to the problems caused by US Airways. They WOULD NOT offer any help what so ever. My husband was on the phone with them for over an hour, 45 or more minutes of this time was spent on hold. When he had had enough and asked to speak to their supervisor, he got cut off. Pretty convenient. Our phone call to try and get this fixed cost us close to $100 since you cannot make toll free calls to the US in Jamaica.
We have called Travelocity several times and have emailed them twice to get a resolution and have not gotten anything other than "We are checking into it". We feel that we should receive some sort of compensation for pretty much losing two days of our honeymoon due to US Airways and the time we spent working out the other problems that should have been solved by Travelocity.

Booked trip to New Orleans for Nov. 6th, 2005. Travelocity reps don't know about flood or hurricane. Won't give any info except flight is confirmed. The hotel is closed and we have no idea if it will be open by the 6th. One couple doesn't want to go now as it was a fun trip (not business) they would like to rebook else where but Travelocity says they would have to pay a cancelation fee of $200. We need to go as we have family there but are worried about the hotel arangements. Travelocity basicly told me just to go and worry about it when we got there.

I booked a flight with Travelocity in August 2004 for a flight in December 2004 and was unable to make the trip. When I cancelled the flight in December, before departure, I was told I had a year to re-schedule. I also called back several times to double check on the amount of time I had. I was told to send my tickets back to Travelocity when I was ready to re-book.
I sent my tickets back on 9/6/05. After 3 or 4 phone calls and being left on hold for 30 minutes at a time, I was finally told the ticets were "forfeited" because I had a year from the ISSUE date (August 19 2004), which I was NOT TOLD when I cancelled the trip. I was simply told I had a year. On September 9 I was told someone from customer relations would call me within 72 hours. On September 16 I called again and was told customer relations hadn't received my tickets yet and therefore hadn't made a decision. I was told the tickets would be forwarded to customer relations right away and they would call me within 72 hours. It is now September 20 and I am on the phone with Travelocity again.
So far, I have been told customer relations is "looking at my file" and it will be 30 days before they call me. I expressed my displeasure at the fact I have made at least 5 phone calls since I sent them the tickets 2 weeks ago and that I am ready to get a third party involved. The customer service person I'm talking to said she is going to check with her supervisor....I have now been on hold for 25 minutes....still holding.......I see that Travelocity's website now states that you have one year from issue date to re-schedule...it did not say that when I canceled this trip. I have a copy of the page.

The flight posted on their website was non-existing. A supervisor (after over 1 hr on hold) offered remedy at additional $75 per ticket (X 5 tickets). When I attempted to rebook flight with him the total price was now more than double, citing "prices fluctuate".

I made travel plans to N. Carolina. I had reserved a suite at a hotel. Upon arrival, we were placed in a much smaller room with double beds. I complained and the hotel told me they had no available suites. I contacted Travelocity, relying on their customer bill of rights: "Get what you booked Neither overbooked hotel, nor missing rental car, nor lost reservation should stand in the way of you and a smooth trip. That's why Travelocity Guarantees that everything about your booking will be right, or we'll work with our partners to make it right, right away."
Travelocities response was: "the hotel said the room is OK." I replied that it is not the room I paid travelocity for. There response was, "we can give you a list of hotels to contact." I said I didn't have all day to make my own contacts to get the room I had already paid for. They, in effect, said too bad. Upon returning from the NC trip, I filed a complaint. It has been under investigation by travelocity for six weeks. Still no resolution.

They issue what is called an OSI to the airline every time someone books a flight. This authorizes the airline to actually charge for the ticket. The price I authorized was supposed to be $459.90. They charged $771.90, resulting in an overdraft charge to my account of $84! The following day they authorized a refund of the difference. (so they knew they made a mistake) They seem to think this is suficient. It is not.

I booked my honeymoon on March 21, 2005 for July 17 through July 22 in Williamsburg, VA, at the Sunterra. I called on July 12 to confirm my reservation but the hotel did not have my reservation. I called the 1-888 number got some guy in India who said that the hotel was closed and to call back at 9 a.m. the next day. I called the hotel personally and the rebooked me in a different resort. Travelocity employees did nothing.
This transaction took place while I was on hold with Travelocity. After over three hours on the phone all I got back was 100 dollars of the 1000 dollars that I had originally spent. I don't feel that this is fair compensation. I feel that more could have been done. I only took the 100 dollars because I felt that the long hold times were to wear me down and after 3 hours on the phone on hold I was tired and had to go to the bathroom.

On June 20th at 11:22 am PDT, I prepaid $244.88 for a hotel stay. My credit card was charged $244.88 at 11:22 AM. Then at 2:10 PM on June 20th, my credit card was charged again for $244.88. I called Travelocity and they claimed they did not do it. I have written to Travelocity and received the same response. They claim they have no record of the charge. I sent the Consumer Complaint Department a fax with a copy of the authorizations they made to my card.
On July 6th, my credit card company called Travelocity and instructed them how to remove the 2nd charge. Travelocity has refused. They claim they have no record. Apparently my credit card statement and the call from the credit card company is not enough for them to "have record" of this charge. The Roaming Gnome has an appetite for money; don't get near this money sucking wizard.

Fare Jumped by Travelocity.com. On 17 June 2005 I booked a flight from London (LHR) to Chicago (ORD) for myself, daughter (4) and son (2). I received an email confirming all the booking details, but stating prices are not confirmed subject to airline confirmation of the reservation. One week later I have not received anything. My website profile showed no reservation booked in the Travelocity system. I could not get through to travelocity (UK) by phone. I called USA office.
They state my reservation was not ticketed because there was a fare increase of USD$1413.00, due to airline prices changes. However USA office says I must speak with UK office for more details. UK office onbly has premium rate 0870 phone number. = £.11 min, / US$.20 min. Holding over 1hr, no reply then call gets dropped. As United Airline " Premier Executive" I phoned. They confirmed they did not have any fare changes, but that the 'Agent' I booked with did not attempt to confirm the reservation until 23 June, 6 days after I booked with Travelocity online. Obviously the fares since then have changed.
United can only apologize but says that the responibility lies with the agent and their apparent negligence.

After locating 4 tickets to fly from Austin to Salt Lake City, entering the credit card info, email info, and hitting submit to purchase the tickets, Travelocity popped up a message that "These fares are no longer available at this price" but are available at almost $50 more per ticket. My wife logged out of their site without responding to purchase the higher priced tickets. She went into another vendor's site, found the same tickets at the lower price, and purchased them.
We never received an email confirmation from Travelocity and did not think we had purchased the tickers...a month later, our credit card statement comes in with these 4 tickets purchased by Travelocity at the first price of $238.80 each as well as the other vendors' tickets, which had hit the credit card authorization prior to Travelocity's. Repeated phone calls and being put on hold resulted in the Bombay Service Center repeatedly telling me that I had bought these tickets and they had emailed me a confirmation...again, explained we never got email confirmation, wanted to talk to a supervisor...after over 2 hours of negotiation with America West and Travelocity, supposedly a refund will hit my credit card within 60 days. We are extremely disappointed and will never use this service again.

Travelocity requested duplicate airline tickets from American Airlines. When this was discovered on my credit card statement, I called both AA and Travelocity. AA said I would have to take up the matter with Travelocity. Travelocity acknowledged it was their mistake and requested me to send a copy of the credit card statement to their attention for processing. I was told it would take 3 (THREE) months to process. I told them this was totally unacceptable. After further rather heated discussion, they offered to call the airline to expedite the refund to less than one week. That effort was delayed until tomorrow as the AA office was closed.
