DON'T EVER BOOK A FLIGHT THROUGH TRAVELOCITY. Their customer service is horrible and their website has serious issues. I initially booked a flight to Costa Rica only to get a confirmation email for the wrong time. When I logged in to change the flight I was somehow booked on a second flight and even though I had a first class confirmation I later found out I wasn't assigned seats (even though I definitely selected them at the time of reservation). This issue wasn't discovered until months later when I logged in to check my flight status. At that time there were only two seats left in separate rows so my fiance and I aren't even sitting together on our honeymoon flight.
After discovering the seat assignment issue I called Travelocity and the solution they came up with was to cancel the second reservation (for the correct time) and reschedule the first reservation (for the wrong flight time). This resulted in us being booked in economy on the outbound flight even though we paid for first class. Then we were told that if we wanted to upgrade the first leg we had to upgrade the entire round trip at a cost of $2,400. Keep in mind that we were already in first on the return flight so we were going to be charged twice for this leg.
It took three different calls to get this resolved, during which we were hung up on twice. Multiple times the customer service agents said they couldn't resolve the issue and told us to contact Alaska Air but the airline couldn't modify the reservation because it was booked through a third party. After more than 5 hours, during which we spoke to multiple supervisors, we were finally able to get the initial ticket issues resolved but our seats are still not together. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they are just inept but it borders on fraudulent incompetence. Do yourself a favor and only book direct with the airlines. Lesson learned.

I booked a 10 day spring break vacation from pictures and information I saw on their web site. Beach and ocean were nothing like it. Asked to be relocated to another resort. I talked to a rep. and he said I would be fully refunded. LIAR. After 2 days finally got relocated to another resort but had to pay for that with my credit card.. I'm being billed TWICE. Don't go through this company.

I had $417 in travel credits that need used so I tried booking a flight that listed for $563 but I couldn't see any way to use the credits via the normal booking process. Once I found out how to contact customer service, I was told that the ticket price was $707. I said I'm looking at the price on your website and the airline's website and they both list the exact same ticket for $563. I was told that I could book the ticket without using my credits for $563 but if I wanted to use my soon-to-expire credits the price is $707. Liars and thieves.

Booked round trip flights for four seniors. Departing flight was changed by two days. This changed our trip. We canceled the round trip tickets. Travelocity would not cancel the return flight because it was a second carrier. They would not refund our money and would not cancel the flight. The carrier would not talk to us because it was not through them. American Express would not cancel the payment. Travelocity only gave us the departing flight money back and kept our return flight money. DO NOT EVER USE THEM. Get your flights through the carrier. Travelocity will not work with you and are just a budget house with no real advantage for using. I really think this company is a scam. Even if you have an issue the carrier will not work with you because you did not book with them. (BEWARE) They will just keep your money.

I made reservations a day before an unplanned, but needed stay at a hotel. As soon as I secured my stay through Travelocity I went to the hotel's website to get their address. Much to my shock the rates were $16 less a night and they had availability for the days I needed not just partial days I had been given Travelocity. I immediately called Travelocity. They refused to refund my money and refused to lower the price. They MUCH RATHER lose a consumer than provide good customer service. I will never use them again and I pray this for warns unsuspecting people like me.

Today I encountered a situation that left me both shocked and deeply disappointed. I needed to change one leg of my round trip flight from Las Vegas to São Paulo, a seemingly simple request that turned into an exorbitant financial burden. Travelocity, operating under the umbrella of Expedia, charged me an outrageous fee of USD 4,127.00 for this change. This amount is not just steep; it's unprecedented in my many years of travel. Upon confronting Travelocity about this issue, I was met with a rather dismissive explanation, attributing the astronomical fee to Delta Airlines' policies. However, it's widely known among seasoned travelers that travel agencies, including Travelocity, often receive refunds or compensations for such changes from the airlines. This leads me to question the integrity of their business practices and whether profit is being prioritized over customer satisfaction and fairness.
The lack of transparency and accountability in this situation is alarming. As customers, we place our trust and our hard-earned money in these companies, expecting them to act in our best interest. Unfortunately, my experience has been anything but. It's disheartening to see a company like Travelocity, backed by the reputable name of Expedia, engage in practices that seem to exploit rather than assist its customers. I urge potential customers to approach Travelocity and Expedia with caution. Your travel plans and finances might just be at the mercy of hidden policies and fees that serve the company far more than they serve you. To express my frustration and warn others, I am initiating a hashtag campaign: #ExpediaExploits and #TravelocityTrap. It's time for these companies to be held accountable, to treat their customers with the respect and fairness they deserve.

This site is a joke. I paid to have the ability to cancel my flight but they wouldn't let me cancel my flight without charging me extra. Then on top of that I tried to change my flight to a later date, but they only gave me one flight option when online there were multiple available flights. I will never use Travelocity again, it's not worth the headache.

I’m not sure what is happening at Travelocity and Expedia, but I can honestly say I believe their best days are behind them. I’ve faithfully supported them through the years and traveled the globe using their services. With that said, this past year I have had two financially impacting events. Both caused by Travelocity. First one happened in the summer of 2023. They rented a condo to me that was not available. We traveled 7 hours and were told we did not have a room at midnight.
Now, my second issue, their customer service will not refund my money for a cruise I booked for my elderly parents. They were going to take the cruise for their 50th wedding anniversary, but my dear mother is not feeling well. I submitted a request more than 90 days prior to their departure, per their policy, and after an initial email, I haven’t been able to get a response. I filled out another request a couple weeks ago and contacted them on their chat function, but they either don’t respond or don’t know how to refund my money. I’m out of options, so I have opened a request with BBB. My suggestion, book through another service.

I rented a car from Dollar through Travelocity for $88. When I got to the airport the agent at Dollar never mentioned Travelocity. He said the Kia Soul that "they" had me in was a source of customer dissatisfaction and offered a Hyundai Santa Fe. He said I probably just wanted the "basic coverage" and said he was able to give me the "AAA discount" (I don't belong to AAA, but hey). He had me initial the $90 total, which was only slightly higher than the Travelocity price I had already paid. After returning the car I realized the $90 was IN ADDITION to the Travelocity fee I already paid.
This sleazy Dollar agent had added an upgrade fee of $24, "premium roadside assistance" for $20 a day (it's their car FFS!), and various other taxes and fees I've never heard of. When I complained to Dollar, they said they could waive the update fee the agent never mentioned but couldn't waive the "premium roadside assistance" which covers towing in case of a breakdown and bringing extra gas if I ran out, which the agent also never mentioned. In fairness it was on the list of fees above the $90 I hastily initialed. Travelocity told me the $88 I paid them covered base rental, roadside assistance, and taxes and fees but would not do anything with Dollar about the roadside assistance and taxes and fees that Dollar added. They kept thanking me for reaching out but claimed there was nothing they could do. So a 24-hour $88 Travelocity rental actually costed $179. Buyer beware!

I had airline tickets through skyscanner and this website led me to Travelocity for check out. When I booked the airline, it didn't say anything about this was not for cancelation. When I called travelocity, they said this ticket is not for cancelation, only changing schedule so I said to change the schedule but they said it costs extra $1581 per passenger plus $200 penalty which end up for 2 people $ 3362. I paid $3558 already for 2 people round trip and they said I have to pay another $3362 for changing schedule.
The changed schedule was long flight 26 hours from Korea to Washington which has 12 hours waiting hour in Toronto with Air Canada. They keep saying that Oh it is because of airline policy but never heard of policy like that. Air Canada doesn't involve with ticket purchased through travel agency or website, they said. When I search one way ticket online was between $700 and $1000 with Air Canada on the same date I wanted. I have no idea how they got $1581 with this crappy 26 hours flight airline. I called Dec 11 and changing schedule was on Jan 24 which is still more than a month left and even not a busy season. These people are a scam!!! I just hung up and just keep the original schedule, there is no way that I can pay that outrageous amount. Never, never use this website for anything, please. They will steal your money if something that you didn't expect happens.

The hotel was great and clean. All the receptionists were all wonderful. They all spoke English and were always wonderful. The house cleaning ladies were very professional and great. I had a good time in Lyon. The people were friendly and always willing to help with directions. The food was very good and the train ride was great.
The only issue was the taxi driver (LYON TAXI DRIVER), he was very manipulative and dishonest. He took advantage being my first visit to Lyon and drove around Lyon before getting me to my destination. He charged me 120 Euros from 31 Rue Chevreual Lyon France to the airport. He was dishonest and a disgraceful cab driver to the city's progress. He is not in any way contributing to the progress of city tourism which is very important for a country's progress. He gave the beautiful Lyon city a bad rap as a con man. I want to thank Travelocity and Delta Airlines for making my trip to Lyon France great!! I am ready to do it all over again!

I scheduled a trip to Europe on business I had to cancel due to international flight restrictions. Travelocity gave me a credit for part of the full amount. I used my credit for a short flight to California and when I went to use more of the balance found out Travelocity used $6000 of my credit to cover a $500 flight. The only way to contact anyone is through the virtual assistant from their help on their website. Pretty bogus way to do business and they won't see a penny of my dollars again.

I had to cancel my car rental due to a medical issue. I called Travelocity to cancel air reservation and car rental easily within the 24 hour time period allowed to cancel and still receive a partial car rental refund. Travelocity did not notify car rental agency until after the expected rental car pickup so I was responsible for the entire rental fee. I will not use Travelocity again for car rental.

Not worth using Travelocity. Once I finalized my trip and hit the Submit button, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a green pop-up message informing me “Good news the price of your trip has decreased from $ to lower $. Book now to secure this price". I immediately took a picture of the pop-up message to show my friends and hit the Submit button again to secure the lower price.
Travelocity did not stand behind their statement. Even when I emailed the manager the picture with the green pop-up message, he stated because I didn’t have the entire picture, there is nothing that can be done. I wouldn't think I would have to take a picture of the entire screen to prove their pop-up message??? It is obvious that by looking at the URL, I am in the Checkout step. I thought they were a reputable company ~ Never using them again!

Travelocity is not your advocate when a booking matter becomes complicated and unfulfilling. Beware of using a less -rated automobile rental agency such as Autovia (off site at the Milan Linate Airport.) This auto agency cancelled my pre-paid reservation while on their site because I did not have an International Driving Permit (it can be issued by AAA @ $45.00) and they would not let me purchase it online while at their site. Autovia told me to get my refund through Travelocity.. who later told me Autovia would not authorize the refund. Five times I submitted for a refund and neither company would refund the pre-paid $125.82 amount. Autovia is running a scam.
Travelocity tried to placate me while asking for my contact telephone number — but would not call me. Travelocity does not specify that Autovia requires a IDP along with a valid USA drivers license. I went back to Linate airport and easily rented an auto for 8 days (@ $1,000.) from Avis without an IDP needed — without a problem. Boycott Travelocity and Autovia. Caveat Emptor.

Contacted Travelocity to cancel the whole trip. I was told, I needed to contact the individual airlines for my refund even though I purchased their insurance for $89.00. Was able to recover the cost of the Jet Blue flight but nothing on the 3 remaining American Airline flights.
Travelocity states it is marked as refunded. My bank has no record of it after 3 weeks. More calls to Travelocity was to no avail. They refuse to help. American Airlines says for my refund, I need to go through Travelocity and they keep giving me "you need to deal with the airline". What was the insurance for? No help at all from Travelocity.

I booked a one night stay in Monterey with Travelocity. Big mistake. Unfortunately, I accidentally booked the wrong date and realized immediately after booking. So I called Travelocity freaking out, and they told me no problem, they will send an “urgent” request to the hotel immediately to change the date of the reservation. They even confirmed that at that point the hotel did have space on the date we needed. The next day, I hadn’t received an email confirming any such change. Travelocity did say it may take up 72 hours, because the hotels sometimes take time to respond. Well after 48 hours I was feeling uneasy so I called the hotel myself. Guess what?? Travelocity never even bothered to alert the hotel of my “urgent” request. The hotel promptly changed my reservation with no issue and I was so grateful that I took matters into my own hands.
The following day I get an email from Travelocity telling me that they are so sorry but the hotel has very strict rules about changing reservations and they denied my request. Lol! I spoke to the owner of the hotel MYSELF and they happily changed the reservation AND they never even heard from Travelocity. When I responded to that email, making Travelocity aware of that fact, the response said “Sorry but we can’t do anything more. The hotel refuses to accommodate your request.” They literally lied to me and then didn’t even bother to read the email that stated my request to the hotel had already been honored through my own efforts. Unbelievable. Travelocity is a scam. Don’t do it. Just contact the hotels directly. I would have been out a bunch of money because of their ineptitude.

In June 2022, I purchased 6 first class tickets to take my family to Santa Fe for the week of March 4-11, 2023. When my son and daughter-in-law announced in late November that they were expecting their first child in May of 2023, we realized that the trip would have to be postponed until al later date. I contacted Travelocity to get a refund on my tickets which were described as fully refundable when I purchased them. I was told that in fact Travelocity will not issue a refund but instead they would issue credits to all six of the original passengers. Furthermore, as I booked the flights in June of 2022, all six of us had until June 2023 to use the tickets or lose the credit.
When I protested that the time limits were onerous, one of the airlines in question (United) extended the use to December 2023. After some discussion, Travelocity agreed to extend the second airline (Delta) until December 2023. The further stipulation was that each of my six family members could only book outbound from DCA (our original point of departure) on Delta, and could only book flights that returned to DCA for the United segment of the round trip. I immediately felt jerked around by Travelocity, but I was only at the beginning of getting jerked around by them.
Sometime in April or thereabouts, I contacted Travelocity to attempt to use my credit for a flight to ORD from DCA and a return from ORD to DCA. I spent over 6 hours spread over three days to get confirmation that my flight to ORD would be debited to the credits that Travelocity issued when I cancelled the original flight. I received a reservation number for the DCA-ORD round trip first class flight and waited until I was a week out from the trip – at which time I went online to confirm the flight and was told by United that the credit had never been honored by Travelocity. From Travelocity, I was told after repeated calls and multiple hours holding, that United changed the ticket without authorization from Travelocity.
Here I am, days before an important conference with no ticket to fly. After repeated attempts to rectify the situation between united and Travelocity, I simply gave up and purchased a ticket directly from United. My family is not able to make flights within the time/class restraints imposed by Travelocity. My original outlay for these tickets was $9493.32 and the last-minute flight to ORD after the debacle with the ticket not honored was $1055.70. I am out a total of $10,549.02 and I have absolutely no faith in Travelocity to make good on their promises. I am considering legal action against the company and I plan to publish this cautionary tale wherever I can. E. **. Chevy Chase, MD.

Imagine spending $2100 on a flight to HI on Feb 2nd with insurance on it, but your work gets hit with ransomware the next week. You don't know your future with your job because you are down for a month, so you cancel your trip on Feb 22. Now imagine that flight wasn't supposed to be until July 21st, so you gave proper notice and even had it insured. You think, wow I believe I can get a refund after submitting proof, but no. If A happens, they only payout on B. If B happens, then they only payout on A situations. Then allow them to tell you that you can use your credit, but it's only limited, and they mark up the flights a couple of hundreds of dollars and then tell you, you can only use your credit one time. So the only trip I could take out of my way was to Miami for $1400 economy AND YOU HAD TO PAY $8 to book it. Does that make sense?
You have $2100 credit, the flight is only $1400 but you HAVE TO PAY $8 to book it. Also, you lose $700 of your money you spent because YOU CAN'T USE THE FULL CREDIT IN THE FUTURE, ONLY ON ONE FLIGHT. This company is trash. United is even more trash. I wouldn't book a free trip with this company to anywhere if all expenses were paid. Do yourself a favor and don't go through what I went through. I still haven't used my credit because I can't find a flight in the US (because that's all I can fly in, according to their rules) to spend the $2100 I have already paid.

We enjoy our stay, contact them and they tell us that the hotel DENIED our refund now. We, still being in the area go back and ask why and the guy there says Travelocity did not submit the change. They still have the original booking and nothing else. We state this to Travelocity and they continue to send generic emails all exactly the same. So we lost over $1000 in a refund because they messed up and refused to admit it. We kept getting the run around with no firm answer. Will never use them again. It's the only time we've ever had a problem with 3rd party sites and it isn't worth the hassle.

Our family has booked many trips with Travelocity and their sister company Expedia. We have had some issues along the way; however, back then Travelocity was quick to resolve concerns or barriers. This time was not the case. We booked an Alaskan cruise, flights to Seattle and back home, as well as a high end hotel for 2 days (in case flights were canceled before the cruise date). Travelocity booked the return flight on the same day as the day we needed to board the ship! The Travelocity app had the correct dates listed; therefore, we did not realize the error until 2 days before the trip when we were completing our check-ins with Alaskan Airlines and Spirit. Travelocity refused to help telling us all had to be changed through Spirit.
Spirit would not help because we booked through Travelocity. They were quick at passing the buck, not willing to help or resolve. Horrible customer service, “supervisors” that barely speak English and are rude. This trip cost us over $10k and now we have to pay an additional $600+ to change the flight date due to their mistake. Never again will we use Travelocity or Spirit. We should have read the recent reviews as they are all awful. Travelocity and Expedia have changed since Covid. Sad and disappointing. Learn from our mistake and never book with them!

Twice, Travelocity has messed up my hotel reservations, both within 2 months of each other. The first time, I was charged by Travelocity, and I arrived to the hotel with my printed Travelocity itinerary in hand, with confirmation numbers. The hotel, however, had no record of such reservation. Luckily, the hotel had a room available, but I was forced to pay for a room (again) and work it out later with Travelocity. The second time, my entire reservation disappeared within Travelocity's account. They have no record of me making a reservation at all, but I have a charge on my credit card statement for the reservation. Customer Service was completely unhelpful. My issues were not resolved, and I have now paid for hotel rooms (twice) that I will never get to use.
In an unrelated issue, I simply needed to change my name on a plane ticket. My last name legally changed due to marriage. I tried calling the airline directly, but since the ticket was purchased through Travelocity, I had to change it with them. This process ended with success, however, it took 3 different phone calls and about 2 hours per phone call. Overall, my negative experiences this year with Travelocity and their lack of customer service has led me to no longer use their services for future purchases.

I chose a rental car for three days that was advertised for $44.00 a day. I didn't check the math on my itinerary but they charged $66.50 a day, which also increased the fees and taxes. Long story short, I was charged $81.80 more than I should have been for the three day rental. When I contacted Travelocity about the error, the bottom line was since I didn't have a screen grab or a receipt with the $44.00 there was nothing they could do, even though the car is still on their website at $44.00. I will of course never recommend them and I will never us e them again. I rented a "midsize" vehicle.

Travelocity then posted a credit of $396 to my Travelocity account. However, when I tried to apply the credit towards purchase of an AC ticket for the a new San Diego to Halifax itinerary the system did not accept it. I contacted Travelocity customer service again and this time the agent told told me the posting was not really a credit, that I should contact AC directly, and that the "not-really-a-credit" was only for $297 rather than the $396 I could see posted on my account as we spoke. I've worked with Travelocity since its early days in the 90s, and had not noticed any change in its dealings despite being acquired by Expedia in 2015. Expedia is notorious for its underhandedness.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the customer service I received from your company. Recently, I booked an all-inclusive resort in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico, for which I paid $4000 through Travelocity. However, upon receiving a call from the hotel, I was informed that I would have to pay an additional $300 per night for all-inclusive services, and that they would not honor the Travelocity booking. After spending numerous hours trying to reach customer service representatives from Travelocity, I was finally informed that there was an error on the Travelocity listing, despite providing proof of the original booking that clearly stated all-inclusive services were included. To my dismay, I was then told that I would not be refunded for my package and ended up losing all of my money. I was forced to contact my credit card company to reverse the charge.
As a result of this experience, I have lost all trust and confidence in Travelocity and I will never use your services again.

My trip was heavily affected by weather, and my first flight was changed quickly and efficiently due to the circumstances. However, my return flight was also heavily affected by weather and when I called Travelocity they told me I needed to contact WestJet. I spent 4 hours on hold for WestJet, and finally when WestJet answered they were very helpful, telling me I was covered under a special weather policy they had that was effective until the 8th. WestJet told me they took notes on their end and would wait for a call from Travelocity to get my flight changed for me no problem.
Upon contacting Travelocity again, they lied to me repeatedly, saying they "weren't allowed to call the airlines" and that WestJet's phone lines are "closed" so they wouldn't be able to reach them anyway. (By the way, I called WestJet again immediately afterwards and they confirmed for me that their phone lines were 24/7). Eventually the agent I was speaking to put her supervisor on at my request and he cut me off whenever I tried to explain the situation and hung up on me. They told me they'd call me back within 24 hours and to no one's surprise, they did not. Also, I purchased travel insurance on my flights through Travelocity which is supposed to cover flight cancellation and interruption, so I'm not sure why they were trying to convince me that they couldn't do anything.
I have honestly never experienced customer service quite like this before. I very patiently spent 6 hours of my life just trying to get my flight changed since WestJet's policy allowed me to do so, and Travelocity probably spent more time making the process as difficult as possible than it would've taken to just... call WestJet and switch it. Do NOT book with Travelocity, honestly just go directly through the airline. The airlines are much easier to deal with if anything unexpected happens regarding your trip. Cut out the middleman!

I asked for a fair reimbursement of $500 which would cover the cost of the Travelocity/Red Roof refund, time, money, and gas that this FILTHY room cost us.
As it was late in the day and last minute, we could only find a hotel with a vacancy (due to hurricane Ian) 30+ miles north and out of our way. This cost us time, money, and gas. A result of being 30+ miles north we had to get up much earlier than expected. Red Roof only offered a certificate for a free night stay. We find this to be insulting.

Lesson to the wise, always file a complaint at the time. Travelocity has so far refused to honor the credit any time I have tried to use it. This has been going on for 7 months, with 5 different flights I have booked. I last had an online chat experience with an agent, Nestor, who told me that they never had any record of a credit being issued. I sent the email and itinerary conversation and was then cut off. Would not recommend Travelocity’s online travel services.

I’d like to share our ‘wonderful’ experience with that giant, Travelocity. My daughter booked her flight through them to move from California to New York, to take a position as the Lead make-up artist for an off-Broadway production—truly exciting times. Then Covid hit, and the production was cancelled, and thus, her flight was as well. Fast forward 2 years; she gets another position in New York, goes to book her flight using her credit, only be told that a year had passed, and that her credit had been lost.
I understand corporate policy, but in a Covid world this is an unconscionable application. So I reached out first, to their help center, and unsurprisingly received no response, so I in turn reached out to their Executive Team directly, knowing that any corporation with a conscience would right this wrong. Sadly, not a single on of them had the courtesy, nor courage, to respond. So I would like to call out my ‘gratitude’ to this wonderful team, who has chosen profit over a pandemic, or what is ethically correct—so as a matter of public record, let me introduce you to this team:

On July 5, I cancelled a reservation made for an overnight rental of a car for $62. I was supposed to pick up the vehicle on July 16th and return it on the 17th. Their policy is: Cancellations made up to 24 hours before pick-up are subject to a fee of $50.00 or amount paid online, whichever is lesser. Frankly, I read that to mean if I cancel after 24 hours before picking up, then there is a $50 charge. I’m used to Booking.com which allows free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. Travelocity’s policy means no matter when you cancel, if it’s even the same day you make the reservation, you’re going to $50. Thus, I was charged $50 for canceling a $62 car rental reservation, 11 days before scheduled pick up.

Rebooked a canceled trip a year later to the same location and same airline. My Travelocity APP asked me if I wanted to use my credits, and said YES. Then bought my new tickets. Credits were NOT applied and I called Travelocity immediately. Spent 67 minutes on the phone and was put on hold many times while my “representative” worked to fix the issue, only to be told I needed to cancel my new tickets and start over to get my credits applied - AND told they did not have the direct flight I already had booked available. Today I spent another 40 minutes in messaging through Facebook only to be told the same thing. Horrible APP, and horrible customer service to fix a problem from a service meant to simplify. Other than trying to use the credits on another flight, I will never use Travelocity again.

We had to cancel our family trip last fall due to my husband getting Covid. Canceling was simple, trying to use our airline credit was horrible. The customer service people, I'm guessing, are foreigners and difficult to understand. I had asked to speak to someone in the US and was told that was not possible. I had looked at flights online prior to calling Travelocity, of course I couldn't book any of the flights I found on their site. According to them we had to book for the same class we previously booked, we never upgraded our tickets prior tickets. Double the price, we are booked for basic economy, imagine that! So much for pay to insuring our trip. Never, ever will I plan a trip through Travelocity again! My husband spent 2 months in the hospital due to Covid, now has a trach and feeding tube and van no longer travel due to all his health issues, still waiting to get a refund on his ticket price, fingers crossed.

We booked 2 sets of airline tickets with Travelocity to Bozeman for a 2022 Yellowstone trip. In early May I could see our reservations in our Travelocity account. Then the floods hit Yellowstone & our reservations at the park were canceled by the NPS & I needed to change or cancel our flights. When I went to look at our airline reservations in our Travelocity acct again in June they no longer showed up & if I searched for them using the Itinerary # I was taken to reservations from 2020 instead, not only were these the wrong dates, but the wrong destination.
I contacted Travelocity's so called Customer Service via their online chat and via their FB page, both times I was told that the reservations were not found (fyi they did show up on Deltas site). I was also told that because Delta had made schedule changes that that was why my reservations no longer showed up on the Travelocity site & I was told I would have to contact Delta to make changes or modifications. We had just flown in late April and AA had made schedule changes and we had no problem seeing those reservations on Travelocity, so I call **.
I did call Delta and they could make the changes but since they would be taking over a reservation previously made by a vendor then there was an extra charge for that. I gladly paid it because then I would no longer have to deal with Travelocity and I could preserve the amount of $$ I'd already invested in my tickets. I will never use Travelocity again, I will book direct with the airlines.

Washington. We booked our trip through Travelocity. I called and asked about a seat upgrade to get our bag checked in, and carry ons. I was placed on hold, and then was told, there were no other seats available, that I was out of luck. I informed the employee that I was looking at the flight and there were open seats, they were economy plus. So I called United and they moved our seats on all flights for around an additional 1200 bucks.
Now please note, during our walk to c-20 I called Travelocity. I was informed that since United made changes to our flight that they could do nothing for us. I told them that we had trip insurance. She said we got to Washington so we would only get a portion of the 115 dollars back! I said what? That’s not how trip insurance works. She gave me the number for the insurance, and I had to hang up before I went off on her. They, Travelocity left us stranded!
We were originally supposed to fly from PNS to Washington. That got cancelled and Once our plane arrived in Washington, we were informed to go to gate c-20 for information about our flight. We were rerouted to Houston, and then to Washington. The crew was late by 1 hour and 30 minutes. Which ate into 3 hour layover. Then we got rerouted to Ohio because the plane was low on fuel. which made us even later. The connecting flight was delayed up until 10 minutes before our arrival. One of the other ladies on the plane was going to Barcelona also. Her daughter was already aboard the connecting flight. She informed us that the plane had just left the gate as we were pulling into the gate.
Once out of the plane we were informed to go to gate c-20 for information about our flight and to get put on another flight. As we approached c-20 there was a line of hundreds of people. We finally got to the front of the line at 130 in the morning. After a lot of searching the lady found an opening on another airline. Turkish air. We asked about getting a hotel for the night. We were informed all the hotels in the area were totally booked! No shops were open for food! And of course my medications were in my checked bags. I had on day's worth on my person. Which I already used half. I am diabetic and have a heart condition. No one cared. It was an oh well type of attitude.
After another few hours we were able to get our luggage from downstairs. Then we went to Turkish air to see about the flight. They did not open until 1600 hours. Ironically an hour later a Turkish air employee was pushing luggage down the hall. We stopped him and asked about the flight. He informed us that they had no openings whatsoever until Tuesday. That United was wrong. We then went to guest services for United and spoke with a guy. He came on at 7 am. We’re talked with him for about 4 hours. We told them to just get us back to Pensacola. There were no flights for days.
The manager came over and found another flight and verified it. The girl in the Birka started to look at it and changed it again. That’s when They, eventually found us a flight via Brussels air. We were told at 1400 that the flight was cancelled. We were told to go to Lufthansa and they would get us on another flight. Nope. Totally booked. Oh, the line was extremely long. The lady said that we were not even in their system. That when they pulled up our booking number. There were numerous changes to our booking. Pages.
We were not getting out. We went back to United, of course there was numerous people again. We informed the lady doing line control what was going on, she let us in the back of the line. How gracious. We finally just gave up and got a rental car. We have lost thousands on this trip. Hotels, cruises, excursions, faith! To date Travelocity states that once the airline took control of the ticket, they were no longer responsible.

I booked 6 flights using Travelocity in March 2022 and have used Travelocity for most of my airfare and car rentals for many years. 8 days ago I received some text messages saying that the flights to one of the destinations has been cancelled and I had 24 hours to contact Travelocity to book new flights or to cancel with $0 fees. I called right away and was told that I could not choose a new flight and was given 2 very bad options that did not work for me. Agent said that if I want to change the day or choose a different flight, it would cost $211 per person and we had 4 people booked. They said American Airlines would not let me choose my flights or change days. I even purchased cancellation insurance through Travelocity when I purchased and was told I could not even cancel the flight because it was nonrefundable.
I was on phone for about 3 hours until I was fed up and then called American Airlines. Within 5 minutes, I was told I could choose a flight and change the days with $0 fees, according to their policy. AND the flights were cheaper than what I paid on Travelocity, but was told I would have to ask Travelocity for a refund for the cheaper flights. I called back Travelocity and spoke to a supervisor to file a complaint and asked to refund my cancellation insurance since it was useless. Supervisor told me they would listen to the recording of the call and get back to me within 24 hours. No call back. So I called back and they told me a supervisor would call me back within 72 hours. No call back.
8 days later I spent 1 hour again on the phone, no supervisor was available and they couldn't "find" the recording of my phone call. They said someone would call me back.

Do NOT buy reservations or plane tickets through Travelocity as you will not get a refund if you can't make the trip. The best you can get is a credit for Travelocity for the same airline with a 12 month expiration date From the Date you purchased the ticket ..not cancelled! This is only if you purchased the a refundable ticket. This is the same if you buy their insurance so that doesn't help either. There have been so many complaints that there is a dedicated website for complaints about Travelocity on FB. I myself spent hours on the phone and sending documents to insurance and got nowhere. I ended up losing money and buying tickets again through the airlines as I had to cancel Travelocity due to COVID19.

I was in another country renting a mid-size SUV. Travelocity had decent rates and we were able to find their reference vehicle locally which was ample space for our trip. Any similar vehicles would have been sufficient and the larger size SUV was more space than we desired. Got to the rental lot to pick up the SUV and were told we rented the wrong vehicle. They showed us a hatchback and required almost triple our rental rate to take a Rav4 which is by definition a compact crossover SUV.
Contacted Travelocity several times to resolve the matter and they required that we work it out directly with the rental agency on the other side of the globe that wouldn't do anything because Travelocity made the booking. I've been such a strong opponent to this company that I have convinced corporate teams to stop booking all of their travel needs through Travelocity and Expedia/Hotels.com hoping they avoid the mistake of using such an unreputable booking group.

Here's my disappointing story of the week. I made the regrettable mistake of booking a hotel and car through Travelocity. If you've never booked through them, please maintain that pattern. This company is absolute trash. In middle December I booked a hotel and car for a late February trip. Due to circumstances I decided to cancel the hotel part of the booking. The cancellation occurred in enough time to avoid possible penalties from the booking agencies and or the hotel. I then reached out to Travelocity to confirm my refund. They then assured me that I would receive it within 3-5 business days following an email. I allowed well over seven days before reaching out again.
After waiting on hold for an hour I was finally able to speak with one of their customer service reps. I was once again given the exact same script that the first rep gave regarding 3-5 business days. As you can imagine I was starting to get annoyed with these folks. This back and forth with Travelocity went on for weeks via phone and their social media sites. I eventually came to the conclusions that this is just part of their daily business practices. They withhold legitimate refunds with hopes that the consumers will become so frustrated that they'll abandon their rightful funds.
Yesterday I spoke with one of their reps regarding the same issue. She told me that she'll need to put me on hold so she can contact the hotel to confirm my cancellation. After waiting 20 minutes the travelocity rep stated that she spoke to the hotel staff and it was resolved. Of course I knew she was lying regarding her efforts. What she was unaware of was my unwavering determination to confront this woman with her own dishonesty.
When the Rep returned to the line I had the front desk personnel from the hotel on the call too. This is the person that she supposedly just called on my behalf. During that exchange the hotel clerk bluntly told the Travelocity rep that she was lying. She explained that she is the only one working the front desk and at no point in time did they ever speak. After getting busted and stuttering over her words, she began to claim she can't be on a conference call. I bet she couldn't, these ** are running scams of epic proportions.

By the time I went through the steps a second time the flight that was almost booked was now not available. So I had to pick completely new travel plans. Postponing the trip another month. At one point I asked to just be reimbursed for the cancelled trip, but that was not an option. The new flight cost $300.00 more than the original 2020 flight, because the Travelocity discount offered right now does not apply to rescheduled flights using a credit.

At this point I gave up and decided to never do business with Travelocity again. This company has no idea what customer service means - I am completely disgusted.
