I full prepaid a nonrefundable hotel reservation (Hotel Amadeus in Poland) prior to the COVID lockdown. Subsequently all travel plans were canceled by airlines, cruise company and other vendors. All issued 100% refunds including airlines (Iceland Air, Whizz and Lot Airlines) and cruise company (Seven Seas) even though most policies prior to COVID did not allow for refunds. Travelocity did not/was not able to even negotiate a refund of any amount with the hotel even though by hotels own admission they had not been paid anything yet by Travelocity. Travelocity is just a rip-off 3rd party vendor who offers nothing to the booking value chain.

We had to cancel our flight due to COVID and had a credit to use. When restrictions lifted, I called Travelocity to re-book the new flights. The person who answered said she could not assist with this, but I could wait on hold 'for a little while' until someone could help, & she said if we got disconnected, she'd call me back. I waited on hold for 1 hour and 20 minutes... got disconnected. She called me back about 30 mins later & said I'd have to "start all over again/wait another hour +". I politely let her know that I could not do that, and it was they who disconnected the call, so I needed someone who could help to call me back. She said she'd "try", & that I'd need to answer my phone immediately when someone called... they called about 30 mins later and I answered immediately - they hung up. They called right back, I answered IMMEDIATELY - they hung up again. They did not call back again.
I started the process ALL over again, got a different person, he essentially just said "Sorry" for the previous experience, but clearly just wanted to get on with the call/get off the call. I re-explained what was needed, he said I'd have to wait on hold 1-2 more hours! And he said if I got disconnected, I'd have to start over AGAIN. I let him know how unbelievably frustrating their process is, he said he'd try to connect direct with the airline, etc. At one point when I asked about the "fees" he mentioned, he raised his voice at me and said "To be clear, there are no fees! I meant the price of the new ticket!" (If that's what you meant, then THAT'S the wording you should have used!) Ultimately, after another 55 minutes on the phone, I was told "We can't help you. You'll have to call the airline directly."
Bottom line is something about their processes/the airline's processes/who has 'control' over the ticket, yada yada yada - I do not work for the airlines so I can't possibly know the inner workings of their somewhat incompatible systems. They should be able to tell me within minutes, the first time we speak, that they are unable to assist. All in all I wasted over 3 hours, & now will have to start again with the airline directly. I will give credit where is due, the 2nd person showed some sympathy for the situation by the end of the call, but I will never, ever, ever use Travelocity again.

I purchased an Hahn Air ticket through Travelocity 5 months ago well ahead of June travel date. Hahn Air sent a notice that the airline is cancelling the flight (because of Coronavirus) and request a refund through original booking point (in my case through Travelocity). I contacted Travelocity to request for refund and Travelocity response is that airline will not refund the money and will issue credit to use only to same destination within time limit which airline dictates. My daughter will will out of school by then and I do not need to travel to her school anymore. Very disappointing that Travelocity is taking Hahn Air side and didn't fight for customer even at the point it's the airline cancelled the flight. I suggest anyone booking through Travelocity to obtain a record from Travelocity to make sure this does not happen to themselves. It's terrible. Travelocity is happy to take your money but when it comes to refund....

Back in February, we booked a flight so that we could take a trip to meet someone special for the first time. My sisters and I found Travelocity to have a great deal on a flight so we jumped on it right away. When COVID - 19 hit we canceled the flight for our March trip. Travelocity was helpful and gave us a credit for our flight. On May 23, last week, we decided to go ahead and use the credit to rebook the flight. When we looked, we found the price to be a $100 less than the original flight. With three of us traveling, this would leave us with a credit of $300 and some change. When we spoke to Travelocity, they notified us that we would not receive any credit back for the remainder. We decided it was ok because we had originally paid more but this trip was worth it. After the new flight was booked with Travelocity, we received our new itinerary but we received our old E-Tickets. This phone call took 2 hours.
On May 24th, Feeling confused, we called them back the next day. When we told them of their mistake, they apologized and told us that they would re-issue. This phone call took 1.5 hours. On May 25th, We had to call again. The new tickets issued were again the same old flight with the new itinerary. They again apologized and we asked to speak to a supervisor. They re-issued them again and we were even able to select our seats. We asked them if they could stay on the phone while we waited to see if it was correct. They assured us that everything was fixed and the new tickets would be the correct ones but that the new tickets could take up to 24-48 hours to process. This phone call took 3.5 hours.
May 26, nothing yet. May 27, Tickets arrived. Still wrong. Same problem. It was my sisters birthday so I didn't wasn't feeling up to getting frustrated so I didn't call that day. Even though it did weigh on me that day. May 29, After I finished my work that morning, my dad and I sat down to call Travelocity. I waited on hold for 2.5 hours until someone answered and I was able to tell my story. She put me on hold for another hour and then someone else came on and we had to tell the story again. We asked to speak to a supervisor and were put on hold again. Every 30 minutes the sales rep (who was very nice) continued to check in with us apologizing for the wait.
When we received the supervisor another 2 hours had passed and we had to retell our story. After the supervisor checked our account she apologized and told us that it was a problem with their ticketing dept. She then put us on hold again and then came back to say that we needed to pay more in order to get the tickets. We asked her why that was our fault. We told her that we had originally reserved the flight through them on the 23rd of May. She said that there was no way to get the tickets unless each passenger paid $87 dollars more. Feeling frustrated we told her that it needed to be fixed and that it was not our problem. She then said that she would connect us to her supervisor.
After 1.5 hours,she connected us to United Airlines. That was confusing. We spoke to a very kind man who gave us the same information. He apologized and told us that our problem needed to be worked out with Travelocity. We were done!!!! We will NEVER use Travelocity again!!!! When we got off the phone, we called United Airlines directly and were able to use our credit. We were very kindly treated and the process took 30 minutes to complete. I only hope that when we get our email, we get tickets we can actually use. Sorry it is so long but this is not supposed to happen.

My boyfriend and I are both young and able to adapt when needed so I figured it wouldn’t be too inconvenient to book with Travelocity. We did this knowing that any part of our trip would be difficult to change so we decided to try to save some money. Then the pandemic hit. Ok no big deal, we bought the insurance anyway. Not wanting to go to Hawaii during this virus, we decided to cancel our July trip in March. Turns out, they wouldn’t even take my call until a week before the trip. I tried calling after looking online and finding out I can’t use the insurance on the website and would have to call. If I just cancelled the trip online we’d be out half the cost of the hotel. So this would be hanging over our head for two months.
Mid May I decided to try to call again and they actually took my call. Well, more so than last time. Instead of just informing me that my trip was too far away for the call to be taken, I was put on hold. Forever. The same crappy music for hours. This is after I spent so long on the website trying so hard to find a way to cancel the trip and just get the money back. I gave up calling for now and had my boyfriend call. They took his call after about a half hour and once he finally talked to a representative, she told him she was pulling up his itinerary and then she hung up on him. Overall this was a very stressful experience during a very stressful time and will never be using travelocity again.
Another note: travelocity has the same deals as every other travel website like it. If you leave the page and go back to it, the cheap deals will be “gone” because they were “bought.” I’d go to that website again with a different device sometime later and suddenly those same cheaper deals are there. I think it’s a scummy thing to do, to trick customers into thinking they have to buy quick because the trip is so high in demand.
On top of all this, I do not recommend Travelocity because their app is hard to use and navigate to find things you need, as well as all the asterisks and small print that reveals so many things. I did not feel good about making a reservation through a third party service when it says in small print at the bottom of the page “these room requests have been passed on to the hotel but they will not be confirmed and are subject to availability at the time of check-in”. Does that mean there’s a chance I paid for a hotel that might not have a place available and I won’t receive a confirmation that my room has actually been reserved? The whole process is stressful and not worth it. Not happy with how this company has handled the pandemic.

I was a loyal Travelocity customer for years but now they've lost my business due to their shady business practices. I booked a round-trip Emirates flight, Chicago to Dubai, April 5th-20th. Not a cheap ticket by anyone's standards. It was cancelled due to the Covid 19 pandemic but I was relieved to see that Emirates offered full refunds (minus any service fees and taxes) for customers of any Emirates flights that were impacted by the crisis.
Incredulously, after I applied for the refund from Travelocity, they denied my refund and went a step further and tried to deflect the blame to Emirates Airlines, insinuating that Emirates denied the refund! I personally called and chatted with Emirates several times who confirmed that Travelocity "was misinformed" but Travelocity still insists they are following Emirates terms and conditions (wrong) and will not process a refund. This is outrageous behavior and I will continue to do everything I can to get my rightful refund. I have saved all of my emails from Travelocity and chats with the Emirates call center to verify the accuracy of my claim.

In Dec 2019 we purchased an upcoming graduation vaca trip (haven't been on real vaca for 17 years)! Colorado to Mexico City to Huatulco and back to Colorado at a $4,405. purchase price! That is a lot of money to us! Been responsibly trying to get in touch with Travelocity since March 2020 to cancel - via chat, self-service, CS phone - all with zero luck or zero results. I finally get an email to cancel and follow its instructions with relief that the trip is going to be canceled and refunded. Only to start receiving several other emails to cancel again and again and again - instead of have just one CANCEL button, they try to make it more difficult so that you miss something and your refund will be forfeited.
I also purchased the Travelocity insurance at the time of booking and should have had zero problems with all of this but it has been a nightmare and is still unresolved. They have kept me on hold - not just at the point of calling, no, upon an agent answering (a supervisor supposedly) and telling me she is going to look into it and then 1 hour and 30 some minutes later the call disconnects and I have to begin again.
It is May 12, 2020, and due to the pandemic (covid19), I don't get to go on this trip but I also apparently don't get our trip expense savings back either. Their continued message loop states you can get on social media as well to help resolve during the pandemic.... except for that is a deceptive fallacious bunch of nonsense too! They are NOT trying to help their customers because everything is big-business driven and NOT consumer driven. It is disgusting that I have had to go through 2 months of this craziness with NO results or outcome. The FTC will be getting a complaint but meanwhile, we are out the only money we had. My graduation present and savings.

I am so upset. I had booked two rooms for two nights for my son’s graduation from Penn State University. Unfortunately due to the pandemic the graduation ceremony was canceled and made a virtual ceremony instead. I called immediately and was told that if the hotel the Altoona Grand Hotel would approve the refund Travelocity would refund me. I spoke with the hotel and they approved the refund. Travelocity the told me they changed the protocol and would only give me a voucher for the same hotel at a later date. Since it was only needed for the cancelled graduation that is valueless to me. Shame on Travelocity. How can you be so heartless during such difficult times. Beware anyone thinking of booking a trip through them. I’d use another vendor.

I paid for flight for my student daughter from France to Hawaii (home) from study abroad May 2, 2020. Travelocity will not refund or give credit. The flight was cancelled due to COVID 19, and my daughter had to return immediately, ordered by her school and President Trump. Travelocity will only offer us credit to Condor Airlines, which we would never use again because we are not in Europe, nor going there. They will not give us a refund or even a Travelocity Credit even though it was purchased by them from me and even though I purchased their travel insurance who I have e-mailed and called repeatedly and receive no responses. Travelocity keeps insisting that we need to wait to hear from the travel insurance but we started e-mailing and calling the travel insurance over a month ago. Their travel insurance I feel is a fraud.

Booked flights months ago through Travelocity and paid for them through Travelocity on Air Canada. Flights were apparently canceled although I was never notified they were canceled and found it only when I went to enter my passport information in my booking and found my booking had disappeared and it was marked “canceled".
Tried to reach Air Canada who are not accepting phone calls except within 72 hours of travel. Contacted “customer service” (that’s certainly a misnomer) at Travelocity for a refund per the United States Department of Transport Order dated on April 3, 2020 that Airlines, foreign or domestic, had to refund canceled flights that were canceled due to COVID-19. Travelocity has emailed me that they refused to refund, violating federal order. They never even bothered to notify me that the flight had been canceled in the first place. If you want to use a travel agency definitely do not use Travelocity. Perhaps, may be better to book directly with the airline.

We made reservations through Travelocity for a trip to South Florida in Mid-March. Due to the high incidence of coronavirus in South Florida our doctor insisted that we cancel our trip. The hotel charged us a cancel fee of $186 and told me that they had no choice as due to Travelocity rules. When I spoke to Travelocity customer service, they said was up to the hotel and not them. Given the worldwide crisis due to Coronavirus, I fully expected for Travelocity to refund my cancel charge. They will not. Never use Travelocity again, and nor should anyone else.

I booked two tickets to Greece for August. Due to Covid, I will be unable to travel, especially since I am a senior (will be 65 in May). I was unable to send an email or get anyone from Travelocity on the phone. I was unable to get any info on virtual chat to cancel the flights and to get any information regarding credits. By the way, the virtual chat, at one point, asks you if you would rather speak to an agent, If you click yes, you are informed that no one is available, go and and that you should go and start all over again. When you get to the same page as before, you are asked if you want to speak to an agent again. There is no button to say no, to continue. You are stuck on a loop.
To only respond to those that have flights in the next 72 hours, indicates the level they hold anyone who has purchased anything from them. It may seem that you are getting a bargain by booking with them. That is until something goes wrong. Then you are unable to get a hold of them. Maybe they are just waiting for airlines to go bust, so they can wash their hands of everything. Due to the way they treat customers, I also hope they aren't eligible to get a bailout.

I have been a longtime user of Travelocity, and am extremely disappointed in how the company is dealing with cancellations due to the Covid-19 restrictions that are being placed upon U.S. citizens. I live in California and had planned a trip to London between April 22 and May 5, 2020. I reserved and paid for two reservations for The London Lodge Hotel, to coincide with the beginning and ending of my trip.
I paid extra for the "free cancellation" option Travelocity offered but once I printed out the rules and restrictions page, it stated that the room type and rate were non-refundable. This was not disclosed anywhere on the Travelocity website; it was only disclosed after I made the purchase. How does "free cancellation" work on a non-refundable room, and why would anyone pay extra for "free cancellation" if the room is non-refundable? I have tried to speak with someone at Travelocity but have not been able to reach anyone by phone. I will never use Travelocity again.

I would start by saying that Travelocity needs to get their stuff together, be more responsible for their actions. On January 2020, I purchased a trip to Lofoten, Norway, departing on January 20th, only to learn that, I would be required to stay in Iceland for 24 hours, departing on the 22nd, making me miss my other 3 connection flights to Oslo, Bodo, then Leknes all booked for the 21st of January. Icelandair was kind enough to change my flight at no charge, as they could see that Travelocity wasn't very responsible, actually were out of the Loop on this one...
Then on February 13th I again flew to Brasil, Toronto to St. Paulo GRU, then to Belo Horizonte,; on my way back, on February 17th, my ticket was from Belo Horizonte to Sao Paulo, Congonhas, but my connection to the Toronto flight was in GRU, which is the airport the ticket should be sending me to. I contacted Travelocity about it on February 16th at almost midnight to have it changed, but was told it would be not a problem as the Airport is only 35 minutes away driving. Of course it is not. You would be lucky enough to make it in two hours, as the person or Travelocity obviously never been or driven in Sao Paulo, probably one of the busiest cities in the world.
Why would Travelocity send me to Congonhas, instead of Guarulhos, where my Toronto flight would depart from? There were flights from Latam to Guarulhos that day. Actually the airline after much insistence, was able to change my flight and agreed that I wouldn't perhaps make the Toronto flight, if they hadn't changed it... After several mistakes and mishaps, it's time to say goodbye to Travelocity, I've been a loyal client for 20 years, but can't take these type of risks any longer, they create stress, anxiety, flying is about to relax, to have fun, not to be stressed.
Last November purchased flights to Paris, only to be told that maybe we wouldn't fly that day, as Air Canada oversells their planes and if we're lucky then we would have a seat. The same happened in August 2018 on a flight to Amsterdam also by Air Canada. The point is, we pay full prices on these tickets. Travelocity should inform the clients that, "You're paying full price, but perhaps you will not fly, as we oversell tickets as requested by Air Canada." Ultimately Travelocity isn't doing a good job as a Travel operator. I am copying these to Social Media, and to make people aware that ultimately, Travelocity doesn't care about its clients. Ultimately it's all about the bottom line, making money and obtain profits at all costs. Sincerely, Daniel **.

On February 4, 2020 I called Travelocity to book a flight from Seattle to Boston using a credit from a previously cancelled flight through their services. After approximately 30-40 minutes on hold a gentleman answered and collected my information. After placing me on hold several times throughout the conversation, he verified dates of travel, conditions of credit including my knowledge & acceptance of $200 penalty and came up with an acceptable travel itinerary.
He then proceeded to tell me that he was unable to process the transaction and would need to transfer me to his Manager to complete. I was transferred to "Mary". After several holds, she also verified all of my information & conditions of travel. She continued to put me on hold, although at this point I was very confused as to why. When she would return she would again verify some piece of information but she had also changed the flight times or the name of the penalty fee, never quite telling me what the final charges would be - this happened several times during our conversation.
I became very frustrated at this point and asked why it was necessary to put me on hold so many times and requested that we book the flight as I had been on the phone with the company for over an hour and had already agreed upon an itinerary & penalty conditions with the first agent. She replied that my cancellation flight had happened over a year ago. (July 2019) I pointed out that my paperwork had an expiration date of June 9, 2020 and that I was well within that time frame. She then proceeded to ask me more questions about the flight upon where I completely lost my patience, lashed out and hung up.
This should have been a very simple transaction, but I felt as though the agent was deliberately stalling in an attempt to frustrate and waylay me. I've flown a multitude of times over the years. Occasionally an issue where a cancelled flight and credit would come up but I have never experienced this sort of subterfuge before. It felt very deceptive. I have since booked my flight with an actual airline. It cost less and took no time at all.

If you use Travelocity to compare hotel rates for the city you plan to visit, BEWARE. They do not include the often very substantial "property fees". When you go to book through Travelociy, you may or may not see the tiny, grayed out line item when you reserve your room, but you'll definitely see it on your bank statement. If you use Travelocity at all, I would recommend finding properties there and then going to the provider's site to book your stay.

ANY phone call to "Customer" Service will have you on hold for an hour or more, and the whole time on hold, there is no communication, you're just waiting. If you hang up, they call you back and expect you to be on hold again. Icing on the cake - Travelocity claimed United cancelled our final flight home from Houston, but when we arrived in Houston we could see on the departure board, the flight was not cancelled and was "On Time". United confirmed Travelocity did not confirm our tickets on the last flight home. If you're looking for a travel company, travel AWAY from Travelocity.

Booked by accident on Jan 9th in Travelocity.com instead of Travelocity.ca. Since I was under the 24 hours mark they were willing to cancel my tickets and I was able to get new tickets through their Canadian website. Unfortunately, it has been 11 days up to now and I am yet to get a refund on my canceled tickets. I spoke to a manager name Corey at their USA office today and he simply told me if I need my money back to call the airlines directly to get the refund. Now I have to go after the airline for my $1000 + refund. Weren’t they supposed to help me with the refund since I booked it through them? I will never suggest Travelocity to anyone I know… What a useless customer service.

First, I picked a specific car I was wanting to drive. When I arrived the Rental company said "There is no guarantee you will get what you asked for. As a matter of fact, we don't even have any of those cars." Second, Travelocity's website implied their collision coverage was "walk away" insurance, meaning if I caused damage to the car or there was any damage by any means, I could just turn the car in and walk away. The rental company said that wasn't true. If there was damage, the rental company would keep my $250 deposit and file against my own auto insurance policy and I would have to pay my $1000.00 deductible and apply to Travelocity for reimbursement. So I purchased an actual "walk away" policy from the rental company and Travelocity refused to refund the funds for their misrepresentation.

They only got one star because I had to choose at least one star to submit my review but Travelocity deserves 0. Read the fine print. You will be charged car rental, insurance if selected which is not acceptable in most car rental places, taxes and additional fees upfront. After, you return your rental, the rental place will charge you again for their insurance, taxes and fees. Transactions are both for similar amounts. Neither will refund. A horrible experience, I ended up paying double. Never again!!!

Called to cancel my fully refundable ticket only to find it was refundable only for the first 24 hours. They said they would charge 250 to refund. I noted that the policy stated that a no show would incur a 125 charge and I was calling to notify them but wouldn't pay more to notify than a no show charge. One month later and many calls and I still don't have my refund of almost 3 thousand dollars. My bank told me to wait to dispute the charges until I received my refund.

We booked a multi-city trip for the holidays, but two days after booking had to change the travel date for the final flights. Their website just gave errors when any change was attempted, so we called and they manually changed it, but they did the ticketing wrong which we found out when we couldn't check-in online. We spent over 6 hours on the phone, just hours before departure, trying to fix it, all the while unsure if we would even be able to fly. After 3 calls and escalating during each, a manager finally succeeded, but after we got home found out we were charged hundreds of dollars for the difference in the ticket price between the original ticketing date and the date when they fixed it - these unauthorized charges overdrafted our bank account.
Another 4 hours on the phone and the best the representatives would do was refund the last obviously invalid charge, but they kept phrasing any refund as a concession and gift, implying Travelocity did nothing wrong in the ticketing, and said it was only the airline's "claim" that the ticket was wrong. They implied the problems must have been our fault, and they refused to compensate us for the overdraft fees the charges caused. It didn't help that of the 13 (yes, 13) agents we spoke to during a total of 6 calls, only two could speak English decently, and we had to ask them to repeat half of what they said.

I booked through Travelocity at a hotel in Montgomery, Al while traveling from Florida to Michigan. We chose this hotel for the indoor pool and hot tub, so we could relax after driving all day. There was an option of pay now or when you get to your hotel. We chose to.pay when we got there. Apparently, this nullifies their guarantee to make things right for you if you encounter problems with the hotel. Nowhere on their site do they tell you this. After arriving, checking in, and going to the pool, we find that the hot tub isn't working, and the indoor pool is not heated and is freezing!
Asked for compensation at the hotel because it was too late to move all 3 rooms to a different hotel. Nope. You booked through a 3rd party so we aren't responsible to do anything for you. Contacted Travelocity. Nope. You chose to pay at the hotel, so we don't have to do anything for you. Spent 3 hours with crying children, and very unhappy adults because we had all looked forward to swimming and relaxing in the hot tub before bed. Hotel staff didn't care, she was on her phone the whole time we were there. Travelocity needs to verify amenities they advertise on their site. This hotel was rated 4.1 by them. Not even close.

NEVER NEVER NEVER use Travelocity again. I called Travelocity before booking to confirm I could change flight as I had to fly for family emergency and expected I would have to change return date. They said no problem, but there would be a $150 fee. After flying one way, I called to change the return date. I was left on hold for 4 hours occasionally with an agent saying they were working on it. Now they say my ticket didn't allow changes, and but they could cancel the return leg of my flight and issue me with a one way ticket to "help" me. The price of this "help" was much more expensive than for me to book a full one way fare with a much better airline. So I decided to call again.
After being put on hold for at least 2 hours on two more occasions I was told they would find a way to change the flight and get back to me. Finally, I got an e-mail back two days later, which was AFTER the original and rescheduled flights had already left, thanking me for contacting them, and giving me a phone number I could call to make the change. Luckily I already paid and booked another airline to get home, but costing me over $900 to do. After getting home I called several times to see if I could get any refund and each time was given the same runaround. In fact, after waiting an hour, the call connected to the original airline (whom Travelocity themselves said would not be able to help as I booked through them) to get a recorded message to say their office was closed. TRAVELOCITY I hope you are reading this so that you understand the dozens of flights I book every year for my work will never be with you again.

Travelocity charged our credit card in August for a non-existent room vacancy in November. Also, I found out later that I would have saved a lot of money by calling the hotel directly but that’s on me for not verifying Travelocity’s bogus “deal” so neither of those two things is the source of my complaint. I can afford a more expensive room and I understand that mistakes happen. My complaint is that, in addition to all that, the “help line” people do not appear to be there to help but to keep putting you on hold till your vacation is over and you give up (they literally kept us on hold for most of the 2 miserable hours of what Travelocity calls “help”). My wife and her two older lady friends were stuck standing in a cold, dark parking lot outside the closed hotel while the Travelocity “help” personnel said it wasn’t their fault and to call the hotel because it wasn’t their fault that the vacancy they advertised and took our money for didn’t exist.
Even worse than all of that (if that’s possible), they were worse than moderately incompetent at finding an alternative room). Even after asking for a supervisor, that "supervisor" said that this wasn’t their fault and that there was not a good replacement hotel near where we wanted to be. She was apparently trying to get us to accept a much lower class accommodation (she suggested a distant hotel that was on the order of a Motel Six ostensibly to save Travelocity the expense of a more expensive last minute reservation that would be a fair equivalent).
We found her claim that the Holiday Inn Express (which is no palace but would have provided a nice warm place to sleep which sounded pretty good right then) had no available rooms like the one we'd reserved back in August. We discovered that to be a lie by 1) seeing the availability on the public Holiday Inn website via a cell phone (even while the "supervisor" continued to say it wasn't there), 2) by ultimately reserving said room despite Travelocity continuing to slow us down and resisting progress by repeatedly leaving us on hold for progressively longer periods...Ostensibly hoping we would freeze to death or accept a dump replacement room and 3) when arriving at the hotel there were plenty of other similar rooms available at that hotel even though the Travelocity rep continued to tell three women in a cold parking lot that there was "no room at the inn".
(Yes, that's a seasonal reference, one that highlights how wrong it is to try and take advantage of a stranded woman in the cold rather than helping.) Honest mistakes happen to everybody and there are good companies that provide competent people who really try to make things right when they make a mistake. Travelocity is not one of those companies.

I was told that the hotel would not give a refund so I would lose the entire $2800 that I paid. They said that they have nothing to do with the no refund policy and that I would need to call the hotel.
When I called the hotel I was told that they offer refunds and that it was Travelocity's policy not to refund reservations. This is poor business practice and robbery. I have owned my business for over 34 years and I assure you that I do not do business this way or I wouldn't still be in business.

I called and spoke to an agent who said I was able (and therefore my partner was also) to cancel our reservations since the new outgoing flight options changed our wait time in Dublin from 2 hours to 12. I said I wanted to discuss with my partner. I called back and stated we wanted to cancel both reservations. After a wait of 40 minutes I was told my reservation was canceled but my partner's was not because the problem was with my return flight! My return was different than my partner's. This was not mentioned in the email I received.
Their resolution was my partner would keep the same reservation and I could make a new one. There was no concern that this would cost me more since I was booking later.

This has been the worst experience I have EVER had with a travel agency/booking website! I personally will NEVER use Travelocity ever again!! I would rather pay hundreds of dollars more on a different site or with the airline directly to avoid the possibility of an issue with booking the ticket and having to rely on the Travelocity representatives to fix the issue.
I had two letters in my middle name that were inverted, so I needed to have it changed to match my passport. I was told repeatedly by Travelocity that its policy for fees/charges for name corrections was that it would charge whatever the airline required. In this case, a typical name correction for the airline I booked with would cost $130 per name. However, the airline had an exception for minor mistakes which stated, "[i]f you've made a small spelling mistake with your name, get in touch with us and we'll correct this free of charge, up to 3 characters per name." Because my middle name had two inverted letters, I was told directly by the airline that this exception would apply in my case. Therefore, in accordance with Travelocity's policy of following the airline's policy for this issues, I should not be charged by Travelocity for the change.
However, when I called Travelocity and eventually was transferred to the correct department, the Travelocity representative "called" the airline to check the policy, and the representative told me that it would be $130. After trying to correct this discrepancy, I called to confirm that Travelocity actually called to confirm the policy, and the airline representative told me that no Travelocity representative had actually called to confirm the policy. I interpreted this to mean that the Travelocity representative had LIED to me about checking the policy, and they just wanted to collect the fee and not actually help me. Thankfully, after calling many more times, it was later confirmed that subsequent Travelocity representatives had called in response to my many inquiries about this issue. However, the discrepancy was still not being corrected.
I finally tried to find other solutions by asking if I could do a three-way call with the airline representative and Travelocity representative. The initial Travelocity representative said that it was not allowed, but the name change Travelocity representative said that we could do this. After an hour long three-way call with the airline representative and Travelocity representative, the Travelocity representative was finally told the correct information, and I was given the name change for free.
Although the issue was finally resolved, all of this should not have been necessary. I should not have had to take over 6 hours of my own time to make these phone calls, and my own extreme hard work to get this issue resolved. Travelocity representatives should be there to advocate for and assist their customers in the best way possible. Unfortunately, my impression was that the Travelocity representative simply wanted to get the easy answer and get off the phone instead of working hard to resolve the problem. I am extremely disappointed in Travelocity's willingness to help its customers and diligence in finding the correct answer. For these reasons I will never use Travelocity again.

When I recently booked a suite using the Travelocity company for a supposed discounted rate, I am very unhappy with their customer service! The suite I booked cost almost 200 American dollars so I honestly expected more amenities than just free wi-fi! At the very least a complimentary breakfast!!! Upon contacting the hotel and then the customer support it was determined that I will have to pay an additional 10 bucks per person if I would like to enjoy breakfast at the hotel that I paid almost 200 American bucks for ONE nights stay!!! THAT IS JUST OUTRAGEOUS when I could have paid 50 bucks for a cheap hotel room and received a complimentary breakfast!
Also I have never used Travelocity before and they offer a 15% discount to first time customers if you download their app on your smartphone, that is all it says when you are offered this discount so of course I downloaded the app and I do not qualify for this rate because my reservation was not a "pay now" reservation!! Well when I booked it their (Travelocity's) website did not allow me the option to pay now or upon arriving at the hotel and I told customer care that and she said there is an icon that says if it is a pay now or later reservation and I should have noticed this. I was not informed of this issue before downloading this nor does it state this in the offer!!! Very dissatisfied with this whole trip and I will never use Travelocity again!!!!

Goes usual, landed around 11pm, drive to hotel and it's Overbooked. I was frustrated but I understood that things happen. On hold again and it is 1am. 1:45 and the representative finally comes back to the line and asks "will you stay in a room without air conditioning?" SERIOUSLY?!? It is 99° at my destination and that is at almost 2am. Finally got a room at a different property. I asked to speak to customer service. After more hold time I get excuses about whose fault it is and how I at least wasn't asked to pay more money (all prepaid trip). I then ask for a customer service supervisor. Yes, more hold time. No resolution and I was on hold yet again. Supposedly I would get a call from a customer service manager the following day....

In March, I bought two tickets for AA+China Southern 1-stop flight from US to China. In May, the itineraries were changed three times, each time rendering the flight useless to us. After spending scores of hours with Travelocity and for fear of future itinerary change again and again, I cancelled the tickets. Now three weeks later, 1 of the two tickets is still not cancelled. And I am still on the phone with Travelocity agents. The whole experience is very frustrating.
The 3 itinerary changes. First time, Travelocity cancelled my ticket due to their internal bug. Of course my young daughter cannot travel alone, so I asked to reinstate my ticket. Second time, AA no longer operates the particular domestic leg, so they cancelled the domestic leg. I called to change the connection airport. Third time, China Southern cancelled my daughter's ticket for the leg between the US connection city and China. Travelocity said it was because her ticket's class of service is lower (really? they can just kick customers out months after they paid?)
I would say Travelocity customer service is friendly but quite inefficient. Each change costs me multiple calls and endless holds and often escalations to get resolved. Ticket cancellation, for example, has cost me 5 calls and 3 weeks and is still unresolved. In the beginning of each call, I'll need to spend about 15 minutes just explaining the things and waiting for the agent to read the documentation/notes.

The worst booking experience! We are traveling with a toddler for our first family vacation. There was no nonstop flights available at the time of booking. 2 weeks away from our vacation a nonstop option from the same airline, Delta becomes available. I politely called to see if an accommodation can be made and we can be placed on the direct flight. Travelocity proceed to say that they will need a $200 fee per person in order to make the changes which are required by Delta. I proceeded to call Delta and the representative said that a fee can be waived but has to be handled by Travelocity. 9 calls later dealing with hung up calls and kept being transferred up the chain to a higher supervisor with no resolution.
A three way call was held with myself, Travelocity rep and Delta rep yelling at each other that it's who Delta needs to waive the fee. The Delta rep stating that the booking was handled by Travelocity and therefore they need to waive the penalty fee and not Delta. Travelocity telling Delta that they are responsible to waive the fee. Delta proceeds to say that if booked through them this accommodation would be handled on case by case and a fee would be waived. In conclusion Travelocity failed me as a customer today. They transferred me to corporate to yet call Delta on their own and refuse to accommodate my travel. As a customer I spent the whole day being passed around to call Delta, then to call Travelocity then to call Travelocity and yet everyone has failed me in customer service.
I refuse to ever book another travel through Travelocity/Expedia as their way of treating me was unacceptable. Delta has failed me as well because talking to me on the phone they were willing to make the changes without penalties but according to Travelocity went back on their word. Traveling with a toddler isn't easy and isn't cheap. They wanted to charge me a $600 penalty fee to change it from a 1 stop to a nonstop. $600 for us is a lot of money and both of these companies have failed us.

Well I got the email and it was the exact original receipt with no breakdown so I attempted to call the support line again but this time I was unable to get a representative on the line. So I took to their Facebook messenger support and was chatting with a representative right away and again explained exactly what I was looking for, gave them all my itinerary information, confirmation number etc. Just for them to come back with the exact same email the original representative sent me which was just the original receipt.

When booking through a "travel service" you would expect their assistance when there is trouble with the airline or hotel they booked. Travelocity offered us a $50 future hotel voucher for our huge inconvenience. Absolutely unconscionable customer care by Frontier Airlines. "On April 18, 2019 a friend of mine and I were in the Cancun airport awaiting our nonstop trip home to Kansas City. We received a text notifying us our flight home was delayed. We still went to the airport and checked in more than 3 hours in advance of the originally scheduled departure time.
They told us at check-in they did not have a gate or an exact time of departure and instructed us to keep an eye on the airport monitors. The only thing the monitor ever said was that the flight was DELAYED and was estimated to depart at 12:50 - once a gate # was finally given we went to the gate more than 30 minutes prior to the 12:50 time and they had already closed the doors and said we were a "no show" even though they had our baggage and made absolutely no public announcements stating that the departure time on the monitors was incorrect. (BTW, we weren't the only passengers to be left behind. There were 6 of us, all ladies, including an infant. Other friends that were on the flight said it was less than 30-40% full and everyone felt as though they were being rushed to board.)
They did nothing to assist us and had absolutely no empathy for us. (The stairs were still connected to the plane and the plane had not moved and did not move for quite some time while we were all standing there at the gate trying to wrap our heads around what this airline was doing to us.) Friday when we contacted Frontier customer service and asked them to refund us for the hefty fares we had to pay to still get home Thursday night they said tough luck but they hoped to see us on another Frontier flight soon - hah!

We booked a package trip only to discover that one of our names were spelled wrong. Tried to get this fixed but with little help from the service department. At best, I received scripted answers to my questions that were of little help. Not once did I get the impression that they cared about fixing the problem. I ended up having to cancel the entire trip and rebooking it. Luckily I had insurance but it still cost us over $500 to do so. I will never book with Travelocity again.

My husband and I were booking a trip for September. I made it to the payment page, put in my information and clicked to move on. The site said that the card information was not valid. I tried one more time before my husband told me to stop because they took money from our account! There was no trip booked, no confirmation, no itinerary yet over 2K was taken from us. We waited over ONE HOUR to finally get someone from Travelocity on the phone. We were back and forth on the phone for 2 hours with our bank and Travelocity just to get our money back that was never authorized! Horrible experience, when we book our trip we will NOT be using Travelocity!

Made a reservation for a one night hotel stay at Days Inn & Suites Wyndham Bentonville, Arkansas. Ten minutes later attempted to cancel reservation due to error in date. Travelocity responded with they would need to contact Days Inn to inquire about a refund on my behalf. Subsequently, shortly thereafter, received an email from Travelocity stating they were unable to give me a refund due to Days Inn's inability and refusal to refund. I contacted Days Inn personally and they denied this claim, stating it was Travelocity that I had paid and they are the ones who would need to refund me. You do not get good business by deception. I DO NOT recommend them and WILL NEVER use again. Be cautious.

I created two packages with 10 family members to travel through Travelocity. I rented two cars one from Enterprise and one through Europcar. Paid in advance like plane and like hotel. WELL, you go to pick up these two cars and guess what, they are NOT available. YOU have to upgrade and they WILL NOT refund the original cars nor use the monies to contribute to the upgrade. YOU my friends will be OUT the 600 USA dollars you put forth to the cars you picked out online. These kids behind the counter CLEARLY are getting a kick-back or a commission on whatever you are charged. BEWARE. FRAUD will be on your mind. AND take photos so they cannot say you damaged the car.

We learned upon our arrival last night, after a 10 hour drive, that Travelocity had not made a reservation for us in Chattanooga at the La Quinta Inn. We were really disappointed with the lack of concern or apology from Travelocity’s customer service. La Quinta couldn’t even get them to answer the phone! Finally, Gabby at the front desk was able to confirm our reservation through Expedia and gave us a nice room. There are lots of choices for travel arrangements and we will not be using Travelocity in the future. 4/8/19.

In an attempt to be proactive and save money, I booked a trip to New Orleans for me and my daughter. I selected specific times as we are meeting friends who are arriving from other States. My flights have changed not once but twice in the last 3 months. I don’t leave for my trip until July. This is an unprofessional way of doing business. We have our entire itinerary confirmed based on our arrival and departure. I recommend going directly to the airline and booking. I will NEVER use Travelocity again and if you value your time and money you will not even try them. Respectfully, Rebecca **.

The competitive prices for flights advertised by Travelocity are misleading. I went through the whole process for 2 flights Dublin to Tampa advertised at €1776. After putting in card details pop up says flight sold out - new price €2650. I complained and was told they worked in a live online environment and this can happen. The next day the same prices are advertised but similarly not available when you go to complete transaction. I guess if you enter data incognito this is a means of identifying your previous interactions. Very bad practice.

Horrific, will never book a room again through Travelocity!! My fiance and I drove 2.5 hrs to Biloxi Ms from La for a show at Beau Rivage.

Booked flights and hotel but never got confirmation email. When called Travelocity customer service after 30 mins hold they could not see the booking itinerary being confirmed then I saw pending charge on my account. They said they have no idea. "Dispute with your bank that charge and book over the phone again," which I ended up doing with a different card and still didn't get any confirmation. Lady over the phone said airline increased their price now and asking for more money after spending 2 hours. At that point I said, "Please cancel everything." She said ok. She will cancel but I still ended up getting pending charge on my other card I used.
I had such a bad experience. Not only that I spent my whole morning trying to book with them now I have 2 pending charges on my cards that I had to dispute with my bank. What a horrible company.

I bought two airline tickets for myself and a coworker because we were attending a friend's a wedding in Jamaica. I had made a typo with the spelling of her name and the airline did not honor the ticket. I had to repurchase another ticket. I called Travelocity from the airport and several times after I got back to refund the money on the ticket because I had bought the insurance on both tickets and they refused to honor the insurance and didn't give me my money back, so I lost over $650.

I made a hotel reservation through Travelocity and canceled it within 20 minutes, after realizing the hotel was a good distance from the hospital there, which is my sole reason for coming. They told me the hotel would be charging me for one night, and a $216.00 charge was placed on my card. I immediately hung up and called the hotel, after getting nowhere with Travelocity, and the manager of the hotel got on the phone and told me that Travelocity told her the reservation was placed weeks ago, not 20 minutes ago. The manager of Treasure Island Bay Resort in Clearwater, Florida was very nice and could then see online I was telling the truth, and immediately took the charge off.

Booked a package deal via Travelocity. Booked with the website in the past few times. I guess I was lucky in prior attempts. This time I did the exact same routine, searching for an ALL-INCLUSIVE resort. Booked the hotel/flight. Get there with my wife and as we talk to the hotel representative, I find out that it is not an ALL-Inclusive hotel. 2.5Hrs on the phone with Travelocity representative, followed by Travelocity manager/supervisor. They naturally blamed it on us that we don't know what we are doing. Blatant disregard to their website search engine, which messed up and listed the non-all-inclusive hotel in the wrong category!! Had to pay an additional 650$ for food on top of the 200$ resort fees to an already paid 3300$ for the hotel/flight. Travelocity offered 100$ towards NEXT trip. There won't be a next time. Will never use this garbage website again!!

Just when you need their help, you will not get it. I have been traveling for work for many years and last month I encountered the death of my mother in law and hence need to cancel the flight. I did purchased the travel projection and was expecting the full refund but No. They said they will need charge me the cancellation fee and they will work with the airline to recover the cancellation for me provided me have to provide the death certificate with that. I am OK with it.
Now a month through the process and waited for the death certificate to arrive and send it into them... What I got from them now is: "Please go direct to the Airline and deal/claim it by myself". Where is my travel protection? What have we (I and them) been exchanging/requesting this and that for? To all my friends close and far away and who can share this post please DO NOT do business with them. We have the power to put them out of business, they don't deserve to be in business for treating us this way.

I booked my Las Vegas room through Travelocity at a pretty good price, just a few dollars off of the normal booking process through the hotel. I thought we'd saved enough from the booking to justify one meal at the buffet. Not a bad trade off. Checking in was a nightmare even though I had both my name and the guest's on the check-in. He wasn't able to check-in, and it took a 45 minute phone call while I was still on the road to get it resolved enough to let him check in. Strike 1.
The hotel room was nice, and the experience to that point was pretty good. Good view, nice services, and good parking. Then it hits. We go to check out and then we are told at the front desk that there is an extra $44 per night resort fee. During purchase and check-in, there was no mention of the fee. During the price breakdown of the room, there was no mention of the fee.
Travelocity advertises a room for, let's just say for example, $220 per night for 4 nights, 'taxes and fees included.' $880 for a room off of the strip, with two beds and adequate space for a cheaper room, not too shabby. THEN, upon checkout, you get hit with $176 in resort fees. Wouldn't those be under the 'fees' portion of 'taxes and fees included,' huh??? Now, the $220 per night room is actually $264 per night. For less than that, we could have been ON the strip! There's no email support, no to Travelocity, nothing like that. So what am I left with? An extra bill and a bad taste in my mouth. Last time I'm using Travelocity, for good.

So I booked a flight from this company Travelocity. Figured it would be an easier route than trying to build my flight by myself. As I was excited after I had booked my flight they had sent me the wrong confirmation and wanted me to pay an additional $300 for missing my flight because their mess up. They could not fix any of this and offered a extra $6,000 flight for a replacement flight for mine with an additional $300 fee. I would not recommend this booking agent for anyone. It has a 1-star rating and is nothing but full of scam artist. Will never make the mistake of booking with this agent again.

(page 6 of the policy. ): Look under details. "Rental Vehicle Damage Coverage Proof of Loss: The Insured must provide AON Affinity with the following: (b) a police, accident or incident report which provides details of the event; and NOT your incident report - a POLICE incident report."
IT IS IN WRITING. Writing is what counts. The police do not necessarily provide a report for minor damage. Are you going to drive to the police station to show the policeman a one inch scratch? But you will be sure that when you return the car they will see it. If therefore there is minor damage YOU will pay. AON has no legal obligation to pay for this damage. Beware. Remember it is what is in writing that counts. Verbal assurances are worth nothing. You have been warned. By the way. Travelocity call center help I located by a Google search. Travelocity webpage has NO phone number to call. This is a clear indication that they do not want to talk to you. Forget them.

I tried to book a flight on Travelocity this past week. I had already given them my credit card information when a pop up told me the flight was now sold out.

As I was processing my request another pop up came on staying the price had now gone up from $834 to $1097 could be off by a couple of dollars), and telling me I had better book right away to guarantee the higher price. I decided to try another agent. I received a confirmed ticket on essentially the same itinerary for $734, $360 less than Travelocity. Just to check, I went back to Travelocity, and both the “sold out flight” and the higher priced flight were still listed, neither at the $360 increase they claimed.

Travelocity switches the total cost of its pricing when you confirm booking. When all info has been typed in and credit card applied, the price changes to add an additional 10% to the order stating "We hate when this happens, but the price of your trip has gone up by..." Blah, blah blah. When I questioned a Travelocity CS person they stated that this happens occasionally. But 3 days in a row, at different times and always when I select the "book this trip" button? BS folks! What kind of game is this? I won't use them again.

Bought a 4 day travel package from Travelocity on 13 Feb 19. Two days later the airline charges were $700 more than what Travelocity quoted me at checkout. Of course, this is more than 24 hours past booking so the guarantee is not applicable. Upon 4 email exchanges with Travelocity - having to explain 4 times and only receiving a response of, "Yes, we see the charges. Thank you for booking with us," they finally read the question about why I was charged over $700 above the checkout prices. Their response: "...the prices can update at any moment. This price is not set until booking is complete. Suppliers update their prices constantly. Prices are not guaranteed until booking is complete."
However, when I checked out I received a 'booking complete' email stating that ticketing was in progress. Beware. Check the price on Travelocity and then book direct with the airline. Will never use them again sadly after 15 years of doing so. It makes our holiday harder to enjoy knowing we were scammed by Travelocity. :( Of course, we did buy the 'cancel for any reason insurance' so I will be exploring that option.

I recently booked a trip on Travelocity, which is not an uncommon occurrence, as I have been using them for well over a decade. Well, not anymore. This time, when I booked a trip using Google Chrome, there was an autofill issue with my email address, causing my email address on record to be a non-existent account. I contacted Travelocity and explained the mistake, and they flat out refused to change it for me citing "policy reasons." The problem is this: Without the email address being corrected, I cannot get notifications about my upcoming trip. In other words, I now have to contact the airline and hotel individually and hope that they will allow me to make changes directly even though the booking was from a travel agent.
On a side note, I had a horrid incident with Travelocity back in September, during which I had to change a return ticket on an emergency basis. Long story short, despite a 3 hour phone call to Travelocity and $500 in fees, they still didn't get my booking right, and I was almost denied boarding. Thankfully, the airline allowed me on as a standby passenger. So, that is now 2 strikes for me regarding Travelocity. I would prefer not to wait for strike 3...

Just got back from a 30 day road trip. Planned to camp, but the weather was colder than I expected so I stayed in motels. When Travelocity worked, it was convenient. I knew where my room was in an unfamiliar town and could just go there and sleep after a long day of driving. When Travelocity didn't work, it was a nightmare. Here's one example: I showed up at my reservation in Pine Bluff, Arkansas and the 5 story hotel was chained shut with a note on the door from management "Call me." The proprietor said he wasn't open for business, but could give me a space heater but I would have to be chained in for the night.
I made another reservation via Travelocity because I don't like being chained into my room. The 2nd place said that they don't accept Travelocity reservations (why was it on their site?) but offered to rent me a room for cash. The place was a slum, and I declined. On the 3rd try through Travelocity, I stayed in a Motel 6, which was fine and I finally collapsed, exhausted after running from hotel to hotel. Here's the kicker - all 3 charged me for the room (from credit card info supplied by Travelocity).
