My company requires that I submit an itemized receipt for travel reimbursement, which is obviously standard. I reached out to Travelocity because they only provide the itinerary with the total cost of the flight and hotel. However, the customer service team said they could not provide me with an itemized receipt. It should be incredibly easy for them to send over the individual rates for the flight and hotel that were booked, but they refuse to do so. My reimbursement is now being held up because of their unwillingness to provide this document.

The worse company in the world to book a flight through. I will never again use these people. Countless hours on hold to change a flight. Call backs with no one on the other line. Being hung up on after writing 45 min to reach a live person. I paid for a flight change and they changed my flight date and destination without my knowledge. Most customer service reps do not even speak any English. Horrible experience. Someone should investigate Travelocity for horrible business practice.

I booked a hotel that clearly said all taxes and fees were included. When I arrived at the hotel, I was forced to pay an additional $124 tax. I complained to Travelocity because they should have informed me of this additional tax from the outset or included it in my purchase price. I felt like they pulled a scam on me. Will never use Travelocity again if they fail to charge a true price.

Ordered a ticket, tried to cancel within 30 minutes and didn't get a penny back. Unless you are 1000% sure you have the exact flight you want, don't use Travelocity. Unless you have 3 hours to read all the fine print, you may end up getting billed with no way to get a refund. Furthermore, I had to click "Place Order" to get the itinerary. And then I got billed. So, I am stuck, extra hotel and perhaps missing a day with my daughter.

I booked four rooms for four nights in a Barcelona hotel. I needed to cancel one night for one room. Instead of cancelling one night, they required that I cancel the entire booking for the room and re-book at a rate $100 per night more expensive than the original booking. That would have cost more than leaving the booking as is. I have used Travelocity many times over the years but no more.

POOR SERVICE! I booked a flight for my parents in the month of April that was supposed to fly in the month of July. In June they said that the flight I booked was no more available, they provided alternatives that weren't even covering the entire trip. For more than 10 days I followed them to make corrections, and they still haven't taken any action.

I purchased international air travel ticket. I found the better price elsewhere after purchasing the ticket. I sent all the proofs to Travelocity to match the price.

I purchased a flight and the insurance. I had to cancel the flight. The insurance stated it covered 100%. I spent over 6 hours on the phone (three calls) and numerous emails and still am waiting to get refunded. They will only refund a portion of my cost and I lose the rest.

In May 18, 2019, I booked one room in a hotel in Chicago to assist to Camilo Sesto Concert in Rosemont Theatre on June 20, 2019. Last week I was advised about the change in the date of concert. New date is October 23, 2019, so I don't have reason to travel. When I booked hotel, I made the payment including insurance coverage. Today I have contacted Travelocity to obtain the refund... but I found through the page is not possible to make the cancellation. I called them and all their agents were attending other clients, then the wait time would be about 1.5 hours.
I registered my number and they called me back 2 hours and 45 minutes after. The agent informed me that she will contact the hotel to "negotiate" with them the best option for me. After some minutes, she came back to tell me that "unfortunately" the hotel won't refund the cost of reservation and then I should claim to the Insurance Company.... I contacted the Insurance Company and filed the claim. Now I need to wait between 15 and 20 business days to know if my claim was accepted, but I don't know when I will receive my money.

I have always used Travelocity to book my bosses' trips. In our business, schedules and conferences change without notice. This exact example happened. I contacted Travelocity to see if I could get her a later flight through DELTA. I was told yes, but I would have to purchase a new ticket and could not get the money back from the original ticket. This is unreal to me. The difference in the flights were 9 hours total. I'm certain neither flight is SOLD OUT. I just feel this is taking advantage of the consumer. I will NEVER purchase another ticket, hotel or car from TRAVELOCITY and will ABSOLUTELY NEVER fly DELTA again.

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.

I am not one to write reviews on anything however I am so appalled at the horrible customer service of Travelocity and the lack of accountability they take for mistakes they make. I had a bad experience with them a month ago canceling a flight without proper notification. In an attempt to give them the benefit of the doubt I used their service again to book a hotel for a weekend Getaway with my sisters and the booking didn't go through but they immediately deducted the money from my account. They take no responsibility for their mistakes, they have horrible customer service and their response is that I have to wait 2 to 5 days for my bank to refund $532 that they took IMMEDIATELY without booking my hotel. I will never uses their service again, I do not recommend them and I wish there was an option to give them negative stars. They absolutely SUCK!

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.

All I was asking for was a price breakdown of my taxes and fees for a previous flight I had booked through Travelocity because on the receipt it just says Taxes&fees and then gives you a total but does not break it down. So I called the support line and after being on hold for over 20 minutes explained what I was looking for and was told it would be emailed to me within 24 hours.. 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.
So for a third time I have to go through all this again with no luck and LITERALLY 5 representatives later I demanded to speak to a supervisor and was informed that I was at the highest level of escalation and they couldnt get me a supervisor! After demanding for a 3rd time they got me someone in charge and I finally got the information I was looking for. I had expressed my displeasure and how this experience has made me not want to book with them again and this was his response... "We regret to hear you feel that way. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach us via this channel." ^Randolf. What I have learned and I hope anyone reading this learns is this company does not care about the consumer. This has been some of the worst customer support I have ever had to deal with and because of it they will no longer be getting my business.

I attempted to book my flight with a Travelocity agent; trusted him with my credit card info. He told me that the travel did not process; asked that I attempt a different day and time for the outbound. He found another flight; asked for my credit card and again came back on the line to tell me that my flight had some issues. In summation, he charged me over $7,000.00 of which I never received a ticket. This is criminal! I called several times to try to clear this up. Spoke to corporate "Zeus" manager. To no avail. I will never use this service again..

The Hotel was not good at all and they charged $50 against my credit card for incidentals, even though we did not have a room phone or a minibar in our room. However, the booking experience was great and the hotel did not go through with the $50 charge (it was deleted from my charges). The rental car was paid for in the booking amount and the only extra charge was for local tolls in Dallas.

Before I booked a flight from Toronto to Europe I first checked the luggage policy. It was advertised as 1 free carry on and 1 free luggage up to 32kg. After I booked and got the confirmation, surprise: the carry on is free, however the first luggage up to 200 euro. I called them requesting an explanation. They said the carry on and first luggage is free. Then I called the airline/Condor and they said only the carry on is free. Travelocity is an incompetent agency who false advertise. If they do it because they are not aware of airlines policy it makes them incompetent and if they do it to sell it's theft. Either way they should not be allowed to operate. They get customers by false advertising and that's stealing. What a nightmare. I give it a star because otherwise I cannot post it but they don't deserve it.

When renting a car best from airport. Get what is at the airport. Otherwise they got you. They transferred me about 3 kms from airport then all of a sudden all prices change. Making up excuses that they are the cheapest & they know everyone at the airport convincing you that nothing is left to rent at the airport. If you don’t rent from them then you're on your own dime to get you back to the airport. On weekends if you take vehicle back after 6:00 pm then you have to grab a taxi to get you back to airport. This is the saddest service I’ve ever seen in my life.

Travelocity can be very expensive if you don’t know how to work your way around. I tried to book a flight with CheapOair and they didn’t even bother to tell me that the flight I booked have increased its price. So I went to Travelocity and I manually booked connecting flights rather than booking a fixed connecting flights. You can save money this way. After booking, I received my itinerary right away from the airline and I saved a lot of money.

Travelocity gave me good flight and hotel booking service - but as with everything else, check details: for example, Travelocity gave me good bookings on a flight with American Airlines and return flight with United Airlines. However, Travelocity failed to mention that the carry on bags are free with American, but you pay with United. Probably too much to ask of a booking service - so one must be careful, no matter how good the booking service is.

I booked a flight for three of us (one special needs child included) through Travelocity and Delta Airlines, and a return with United. After I received a confirmation number, my credit card was charged, and a clear statement on the receipt that I need not confirm my flight, as it was confirmed, I called Delta to ask about getting at least two seats together, for consideration of the child. The rep put me on hold for quite a long time, and when she came back, she informed me that, between the time I had spoken with Travelocity and Delta, the flight had gone up over $800.00!!! What? I asked her how that could be true, and she said I should have called Delta to confirm, as sometimes the flights go up in price (even though I had already received the confirmation number and my credit card had been charged). I asked her what kind of business they had with Travelocity, as this was an outrage and totally unethical.
I immediately cancelled my flight and called Travelocity, who told me that I should have called them first. It was stated clearly on my receipt that I need not confirm, and if I wanted a seat arrangement/choice or special services, to call the airlines. Travelocity said I had been misinformed by the Delta rep. They rebooked our flight, confirmed seating and refunded me $210.00 which I apparently would have been charged for select seating. The whole experience took over five hours and was so upsetting. I don't understand how these two outfits remain business partners!! :-( Angry!!!

I feel compelled to leave a review for Travelocity. I had never used the site before. We booked a nonstop flight, and hotel package to New York. Soon after booking the package, we received an email stating that our flight had been changed. It was still non stop and the change was minimal. After that, I received another email stating the flight had been changed again. This time, it was a less desirable flight with a layover. I had paid for a nonstop flight, a more expensive option. I called Travelocity and waited on hold for a total of 4 HOURS OVER THE COURSE OF 2 DAYS!!!! NO JOKE!!!
I was offered no discount or nonstop flight option. I feel like the company is dishonest, as they sell a certain flight to you and then change it to a less desirable flight and then say there is not a thing that they can do about it. I would NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN! I understand that Orbitz and Expedia are also owned by the same company. So, I will stick with Costco Travel, or book a flight and hotel directly without an online travel service.

I tried to book a package with Travelocity but it didn’t go as planned. I was on the phone with a representative, he made mistakes but that wasn’t the issue. As soon as I gave him my credit card number he charged it without authorization, a totally different amount. Then he asked me to call the bank and let them know it was by “mistake” which he made. I called the bank and the bank told me it’s pending, they aren’t able to do anything. I was back on the phone with Travelocity agent, he kept saying he can’t charge the account even though there were already charges on the account. So I told him to just cancel everything because he charged without my authorization and I had no itinerary on my email. So he decides to hang up on me.
I called back and asked to speak with a supervisor/manager. They transferred me, it took about 45 minutes to get one on the line. Gave the supervisor all the information and she decided to hang up on me as well. Mind you, the whole time took almost 6 hours, I am not exaggerating. Now, you would think I’m a rude noisy person, but I am not. I am a very patient person and I do work with many different people myself.

I booked a hotel for our Destin FL trip in March 2019. I looked online and did it through Travelocity. As soon as I put my card info in I was charged a deposit for the first night.

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! This is the first time as an adult I have given such a poor rating for a company but Frontier deserves it and I hope this never happens to anyone else going forward. No one should ever feel bullied and pushed around but Frontier and Travelocity are doing exactly that. Extremely poor business ethics Frontier and Travelocity." ; (

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My short story is in regards to how companies handle untangling a problem and getting us on our way
I was booked thru Travelocity to fly out of Syracuse to Las Vegas this evening (Sunday). Prior to this morning, I received a cancelation of my flight out of Syracuse shortly after dinner time. This would not be the first time of having things happen, get rerouted, spend long hours at a airport terminal but would arrive later than expected or maybe the next day. After four hours of attempting to contact Travelocity by phone or thru Facebook Messenger I gave up for the evening, leaving Messenger open just in case.
This morning was still no response on Facebook Messenger which Travelocity steers you to for the more efficient responses and problem-solving. Fail #1. Only until I left a complaint in their community section did I get a response. After two hours I am left with American Airlines cannot fly you there until 1/23 or they can cancel (today is 1/20, I was to fly back 1/24). If I cancel I will be refunded except for one night stay for a hotel they never got me to, and for a cancelation by the airline. Fail #2, #3
In my many years of traveling at any time that an airline could not get you there in a timely manner on their own flights they would put you on another airline in order to get you there and complete the service we pay for. Three day delay is not acceptable or reasonable to any traveler unless a massive emergency or disaster. 8”-12” of snow might be a half day delay even a day under more severe conditions, not as it is presented here. After several back and forth repetitions of common sense with the representative trying to convey that getting me there on the 23 after the show closes for the day does not work with me flying out to return home 6 AM the following morning. Should not be that hard to comprehend on the customer service side of things.
I am informed that they will not refund my entire hotel bill even though it is a packaged deal and canceled by their partnered airline. American Airlines via observation of their policy of not putting me on another airline and offering another solution to get me there in a reasonable manner will lose me as a customer. Travelocity will also lose my business after two decades as a customer. The Stratosphere Hotel will no longer be a hotel of choice for participating in packaged travel bundles that engages in a poor practice of fleecing customers when airlines fail to get them there.
Had I decided to change my plans I would fully expect a cancelation fee within a short notice of the stay. As this customer fail not only takes a portion of my money for services not rendered, it cost me far much more in lost business opportunities conducted at the show. To make matters worse, I have not been refunded a dime, money is in limbo and they now advise that I have to cover the cost in rebooking the trip. I find this hostile and more than inappropriate. Insult to injury and Fail #4.

Apparently there are different types of insurance, however, the only option I was given when I booked the flights was, click Yes or No if you want travel insurance to protect your flight. They will not refund my money nor give me a voucher for credit toward another flight. Also, be aware that they track all of your log ins and told me how many times I logged in and looked at my flight, so I had multiple opportunities to read the insurance clause fine print. I have used Travelocity many times but will never use their services again. They deceive the consumer. They are a multi million dollar profiting company who will takes advantage of the average person. They are keeping hundreds of dollars from me that I purchased extra travel insurance to protect.

We were planning a Christmas vacation to Punta Cana. We should have seen the red flags but we were excited. First, they had one price listed on the internet, but when you call in they seem to "mysteriously " can't find the price we were looking at for the hotel. Therefore, we purchased our hotel with another vendor. Now it's time for the plane tickets. Online it said it was only 3 left, and we needed three tickets so we had to act fast. We purchased airplane tickets previously, and after we paid for them online, we received a message that the tickets were no longer available. So for some strange reason, we had their "booking" fee on hold in our bank account for 1 wk. so we decided we would not purchase any more tickets online and we would call in to purchase tickets so they could tell us if they were sold out or not...worst mistake ever.
We specifically asked for insurance on the tickets and the agent said their systems were down and they were in negotiations with the insurance company and you can only purchase the insurance online. He said, "Don't worry, you will just have to pay $150 cancellation fee for each ticket". We figured we would rather lose $300 rather than $3000. Fast forward to two weeks before trip, I had a medical emergency and was advised not to fly. We called Travelocity and they said it was non refundable... Hahahaha... This is where the madness begins. We will spare you the details, but after 10 hrs of my husband being on the phone over a few days, we requested for corporate to review our phone call so they can hear for themselves about the lies we were told.
They reviewed it and sent us three emails requesting for us to send the doctor note. We finally get the doctor note, and make a follow up call, and they want to act like they have no idea what we were talking about. So after more hrs on hold, we get to corporate, AND THEY ADMIT THAT THEIR REPRESENTATIVE LIED TO US AND GAVE US THE WRONG INFORMATION. Then we found out the same agent FRAUDENTLY charged US TWICE FOR SOMEONE STAR HOTEL IN Punta Cana. This company is the absolute worse. They keep you on hold for hrs hoping you will give up. I pray no one has to experience what we did. I wish I could give them a zero star.

Poor reviews such as the ones I've read here don't appear to deter patronage; as Travelocity is still in business. I didn't read them prior to booking with them. But today, I'm a 63 year old mother home alone for Christmas because of Travelocity. And I've lost >$700 of a $5000 vacation package + any ancillary purchases because I was not able to take my Christmas trip with my daughter. So, I'm just taking a moment to say, it's great to get a deal, it's easy to book online. But God forbid anything goes wrong as it did with us.
If anything goes wrong there's no recourse in the world of real commerce like real airlines, real hoteliers. Your one and only recourse is to negotiate through Travelocity. And this is hell on earth. I spent 10 hours on the phone with every offshore agent of Travelocity. I won't detail the nightmare; I'll simply say if you have a problem and you call for "assistance", immediately ask for a "supervisor". When you get a "supervisor" immediately ask for "Corporate". DO NOT spend any time with any agent in the call center. Purchase Travel Insurance and read every letter of every paragraph and do not accept the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th - 100th answer until you get the resolution to which you're entitled.
Travelocity apparently generates profit from making it as difficult and incomprehensible as possible to resolve an issue; I can't imagine how else they stay in business. They must generate incremental income from the amount of time you're left on the phone, on hold. Sitting in the airport, having been denied permission to board, even Delta agents, even Virgin Atlantic agents were appalled and apologetic about our treatment from Travelocity. Bottom line, book direct or use a Travel Agent in your city with a brick and mortar office. Otherwise, to get help, prepare to live in phone hell. Then emotionally prepare to go home and unpack, never seeing the city you dreamed of visiting.

And then they expected me to click submit! I don't think so Travelocity. I started over thinking well, maybe I clicked submit right when the price actually changed. Nope. Travelocity website was listing the original price as the current fair. Then, when I clicked on it, right away it said that the price had changed, prior to entering any info.

I wish that I had checked on Travelocity for a review of their services. If you book online and have a problem STOP and find another service. Unfortunately I did not. I called for help with my booking and this is where the nightmare began. They use "offshore customer care representatives" who speak with an Indian -- from INDIA diction, they speak so fast it is extremely hard to understand them. Once they completed my booking and payment they sent me the travel confirmation and I noticed that they booked a different room type that I ordered. Now the nightmare gets worse -- they can't correct the problem because the booking is already paid for. Try to contact customer care. I waited 4 1/2 hours. Really I started at 12 noon and finally got a supposed case manager named Lei at 4:30 pm. HAVE YOU EVER HELD A CELL PHONE TO YOUR EAR FOR 4 1/2 HOURS.
My problem/issue has not been resolved and now I will go to an unknown room type. Just another pain to add to the recent loss of my wife -- good lord all I wanted was to have a room that overlooked the water, so that I could use the waves to wash away the pain of my wife's death after 46 years. Never again will I book with Travelocity. On a scale of zero to 10 they are a -10.

Also, when you call they don't keep a good track of their clients, worse if you write to them.
They will find all and every excuse to not reimburse you for anything and their insurance is a joke, it does not cover anything. Another problem is that you are not allowed to know how much are you charged for specific service. They give you a total amount for the bundle but you don't know how much you are paying for the hotel or the flight separately. According to them, I did not call to cancel the hotel and I did!

Last August I made Premium Economy Reservations, for my wife and me, with Travelocity for a flight from Hawaii to the Mainland. Each ticket was in excess tickets of $500 USD. I received a Booking ID, and confirmation for these premium fares. Everything was fine until we boarded the aircraft for the flight home in late September, and found ourselves jammed into Standard Economy Seating. When I complained to the flight attendant, she said we were in Standard Economy, and I would be able to resolve it when we got home. Needless to say, it was a miserable flight back to the Mainland.
After arriving home, I contacted Travelocity, and provided copies of my Premium Booking and fares. It appears someone at Travelocity had accepted my payment for the Premium booking, but mistakenly applied it to a completely different Booking ID, which was for a Standard Economy Fares. I had paid over 2X the fare of Standard Economy tickets. I have spent over one month trying to get Travelocity accept they made a mistake and fix the problem. Their response was to contact the Airline, that it was their fault.
After contacting the Airline, I learned they do not, and will NOT accept any responsibility for booking and fare mistakes when you make your reservations using a 3rd Party, like Travelocity. The AIrlines will do nothing for you. Travelocity will not "own up" to the mistake and has done everything, hoping you will eventually get tired and go away. I verified on the Airline website that normal Standard Economy Fare was less than 1/2 of what I paid. I researched filing in Small Claims Court, but Travelocity is based in Texas, and I live in a different State. I have MANY, MANY emails showing their indifference to fixing the problem. If you want to see their indifference, just ready their usage terms. (Small Print.)
My "TAKE" from this experience is to NEVER, NEVER EVER use Travelocity. If I would have booked directly on the Airline website, the airline informed me they would have refunded the error. This was not a trivial issue, and I consider myself "scammed" in excess of $500 USD. If you use this company, and have not had any problems, you might be on borrowed time. ALWAYS book directly with the Airline you are going to use. It might cost a few dollars more, but you will then have some recourse if things get messed up. For those using Travelocity, all I can say is "GOOD LUCK."

I booked a hotel through Travelocity for a night in Mexico City. My flight arrives at midnight, and my bus does not depart until 11:30 AM. I thought it would be prudent to stay the night at a hotel near the bus terminal TAPO. I found a hotel (MX Congreso "Faja de Oro") and booked it. When my confirmation came, I was informed: "Special instructions There is no after-hours reception at this property. Guests arriving late won't be able to check in until the next morning."
Obviously, that would not meet my needs, so I immediately attempted to cancel my reservation. Since there was no way to cancel online, I contacted Travelocity who offered to communicate with the hotel to cancel. In fact, after 24 hours, I called them again. 48 hours after my first call, Travelocity informed me that: "We have contacted Hotel MX Congreso and due to their policy, they have denied your request for canceling your reservation without any penalty.
For your reference, please review the change and cancellation policy of the hotel below: "The room type and rate selected are non-refundable. Should you change or cancel this reservation for any reason, your payment will not be refunded." Since you have booked a non-refundable reservation, it is more economical for you if you use the reservation than to cancel and not be refunded from it. Or you also have an option to change the name to someone who can use it." Since I was not informed that the hotel would not allow me to arrive late at night until after I booked, I consider that I have been a victim of a classic "bait and switch". Travelocity should do better than this.

I was extremely appalled with my experience. I had made a hotel reservation at 10 AM and tried to cancel only a couple hours later. Even though Travelocity makes it very clear there are no cancellation fees, they neglect to properly advise you BEFORE booking, that the hotel may charge exorbitant cancellation fees. I had to spend hours of my day on hold with Travelocity and the hotel to beg them for a full refund and for human understanding of my situation, but instead I will be charged over $700 dollars for a reservation that I never benefited from.
This is a completely unacceptable and unbelievable hospitality experience. If I attempt to book a hotel within 24 hours of a requested check-in date (with the understanding that there are no cancellation fees), I should be warned and informed immediately and unambiguously of those extra hotel charges. I would've never considered booking if I knew that the cancellation fees were involved. Beware!

The company is impossible to deal with. The voice jail has many branches. A non-response leads you to a dead end. A response leads you to an indefinite hold. We are promised a 2 minute hold time, but this is a fiction. Basic questions like; "Where is my eTicket number?" Are unable to be answered by the interface to the web system. I am typing this while on hold. The problem is, if you keep a customer on hold for this long, they have an opportunity to write a lot! The Travelocity system has consistently gotten a 1 star review on this website. There is a very good reason for that. My guess is that phone calls are considered an operating expense and the operations folks are seeking to minimize the operating costs of the system. Thus, customer service suffers.

However, Travelocity did not process properly, resulting in the two longest legs not being “comfort seating +”.

Was advised he must get the approval of management to upgrade the two erroneous “main cabin” seats, to the indicated “comfort seating”. That was an hour and half ago. He has returned to the phone twice to indicate there appears to be a high call volume and is still awaiting a manager. This is absolutely and totally absurd and unacceptable.

I travel internationally at least 4 times a year. Travelocity is garbage. They kept me on the phone today for 1.5 hours after their website crashed 6 times. Yes, 6 times, and that was after submitting payment. So imagine the fun I had getting my money back. In the end they thanked me by charging me $300 over the quoted price for my trip. STAY AWAY from Travelocity.

Do not use Travelocity to book your vacation! I had a terrible experience that cost me nearly $500 more for my flight and arrived at my destination a half day late for a three day trip---all due to Travelocity's incompetence. I booked two air tickets for two people, each leaving from different points but both arriving in St. Thomas on the same day, same time in the early afternoon. I checked their website three days before I was to fly out to make sure there were no flight changes and according to Travelocity, there were none.
Little did I know that weeks before, Delta changed the flight. I arrived at the airport for departure only to discover my flight had left an hour earlier! I got no email, no text, no call, nothing to tell me that this flight was changed. They said Delta was supposed to tell me and that I got an email and confirmed it!. Wrong. I never received any emails from Delta, and why would I since Travelocity arranged everything. I'm a seasoned traveler so I knew to check beforehand, but when I went on the Travelocity website and used that long itinerary number, their website failed to give me the updated information.
I had to book a new flight connection and divert to San Juan in order to get a puddle jumper over to St. Thomas---all at my own expense because Travelocity doesn't know how to do it. What's the point in using them? None. If I have to pay $500 more for their screw up, I might as well book direct through Delta and get my flight on time and enjoy a few more hours of my brief, but expensive, vacation.

DO NOT use this service. Booked airline travel through Travelocity. During the booking process the ticket price when up $70 per ticket (2 tickets purchased) from the original quote on their website. I went back into their system later and they still had the lower pricing. When I called their customer service, a process that took over an hour, I was told it was the airline adjusting their pricing and nothing they could do for any price adjustment. I asked about their lowest price guarantee and they said I would have to send an email to their price guarantee website. I did this and their canned email response was any adjustments would have to be made between the airline and me. I can now confirm they have no price guarantee program. I will not use Travelocity again and highly do not recommend them. I have since booked 3 hotel rooms and a rental car through other means for this trip.

Trying to make a minor change to the reservation resulted in my entire reservation being cancelled. The customer support rep was incapable of understanding a simple change and kept asking someone in the background for help. I am a patient person and can accept the confusion if she is a new employee, but whoever helped her was aware she was struggling. After several attempts, she finally repeated the change correctly but in the end, on paper, it was absolutely wrong. The transaction should have been monitored to make certain it was facilitated correctly. Fortunately, I was able to straighten it out with the hotel itself.

I booked flights on Travelocity's website from Orlando to Cancun, MX, leaving on September 22, with a return flight leaving on September 29. But, when I printed my itinerary, I noticed that it stated I was leaving on the 22nd AND returning on the 22nd. I immediately called Travelocity and was on hold on and off for over two hours - waiting on managers/supervisors/researchers, etc. - Only to be told that I'd have to pay $75 per ticket, plus fare difference to change the return date to the 29th. Because I had no choice, but to pay the difference, I reluctantly and unhappily did so. Then, I waited to get a confirmation email from Travelocity that it had been changed, only to get 3 confirmation emails still stating I was leaving/returning on September 22. So, I made another lengthy one hour phone call and eventually received a confirmation email that it had been changed.
However, when I log onto the JetBlue website, it still had me leaving/returning on September 22. I WILL NEVER USE TRAVELOCITY AGAIN. I knew my travel dates. I tapped the right dates and somehow it got changed in the process without me noticing it. So, now I am paying $200 more for my two tickets!! I am very unhappy and I will be using social media to express my dissatisfaction so that others do not have the same nightmare experience. From the looks of Travelocity's Facebook page, I am not the only one who has had a bad experience. And, today, when I spoke with JetBlue about it, their agent told me that they get so many complaints per day about Travelocity that there is no way to count them. The agent told me they wished they could stop Travelocity from booking any of their flights, but they are unable to do so.

On Feb 18th, 2018 I booked a family vacation on Travelocity (airfare and rental car). Itinerary # **. I was a loyal past customer of Travelocity and preferred their website solely for the reason of reviewing a variety of airlines and selecting comfortable departure and arrival times. On March 18th, 2018 I received an email saying my flight times have changed on 3 of the 4 legs. We went from a very relaxing 7:50 am departure to 5:45 am. The other 3 legs were also moved to earlier times. I was very disappointed we no longer had the preferred flight times we purchased.
We fly quite a bit so we have a routine of checking in right away (online) at the 24 hour mark so we can review all upgrade options. Sometimes if we wait until 18 or 12 hours before all the upgrades are gone. Our departure date was 7-5-18 at the new 5:45 am so we woke up at 5:30 am on the 4th of July to get checked in and possibly upgrade. We tried multiple times and kept on seeing “Error 400, please call”. I went to the Travelocity website and after screwing around for 15 minutes I finally figured out there is no customer service phone number provided, you have to leave your info and wait for them to call you. I did that and promptly received a return call from “Jay”.
Most of the representatives were Filipino and we had a very difficult time communicating. I explained the situation to Jay and he said “it’s an Alaskan Airlines issues, not ours” and transferred me to Alaskan. After holding and waiting I finally got a nice representative from Alaskan Airlines in Seattle named John, he spoke fluent English which was very refreshing. John listened with sincerity and then put me on hold a few times and tried to repair the issue.
He finally gave up and clearly explained the issue to me. He said “Mr. **, when your flight times changed Travelocity notified you about the change via email but never reissued the ticket, call them back and tell them to clean up their mess. This is why you cannot check in online now, you are not within 24 hours of the original 7:50 am flight which no longer exists. Mr. **, let be very clear, you do not want to fix this at the airport tomorrow, do it now please. I gave it my best but I cannot fix this because Travelocity booked your trip on Sun Country stock, sorry”.
I called Travelocity back a 2nd time, spoke to Alex this time, he was better, spoke decent English and I went through the entire story again, now I am well into my 2nd hour. Alex kept placing me on hold telling me he was fixing this with his supervisor. He came back on the phone multiple times saying “it all fixed Mr. **” and wanted to transfer me to his supervisor to discuss compensation. I told him “whoa, not so fast, let me make certain I can check in” and each time I could not, I got the same error code 400.
Once Alex said it was all fixed and started rattling off our new ticket numbers, he said “write this down please, you're all set. Here are your new ticket numbers: ** for Rebecca”… I interrupted him and said “we have no Rebecca, we are Damon, Prudence, and Sophie”. It was such a “complete disaster” words cannot describe it. Alex finally gave up and said he was transferring me to his supervisor, now I am 3 hours into this so I specifically asked Alex if he had my cell phone in case we get disconnected? He said he did and repeated it to me twice then when he transferred the call he did it wrong and hung up on me. I spent 3 hours and 8 minutes on the phone with Alex and have proof of that call duration. At this point zero progress was made, absolutely none, and on my 4th of July holiday.
I went back to Alaskan Airlines and connected with a Linda. She was also based in Seattle and very nice, like John she tried very hard to fix the issue. I was on hold many times while she connected with Sun Country Airlines. Together they tried to fix the issue but unfortunately could not. Linda finally gave up and said, "Im sorry but Travelocity is the only one who can fix this and you want it fixed before your flight."
I went back to Travelocity.com again and inputted my telephone number, then got another call from a Veronica who spoke poor English and thought she was psychic, kept guessing at my problem versus listening. I asked her if she had my number, she also repeated it twice. I begged her to call me back if we get disconnected because the last guy did not, she was surprised by that and assured me she would call me back. After explaining the entire situation AGAIN she finally tried to fix it multiple times. She placed me on hold many times and called both Alaskan and Sun Country Airlines many times. It was clear to me that reissuing tickets was light years over anyone’s head at Travelocity. I was on the phone with her 43 minutes when she disconnected me transferring me to a supervisor.
I went back to Alaskan.com and was able to finally check in online, I did so and printed boarding passes. I then went back to Travelocity.com, inputting my number again, and another prompt return call from a Jim. I explained everything to Jim and said I need a supervisor. He transferred me to a supervisor who listened to my entire issue again and offered me a $50.00 future travel coupon. I rejected this and she transferred me to a Travelocity manager named Maria. I am now 5 hours into this and Maria offered me a $200.00 future travel coupon, I explained that I want and expect immediate compensation.
She then asks if I would be interested in canceling our flight and we are so angry we both say “Yes, if we can get a full refund we are so aggravated we would love to cancel”. Maria then says “well let me read your travel insurance policy and see what it states”... Huh? I interrupt her and explain to Maria that the only party at fault here is Travelocity, not the insurance company, and that “we are not interested in pursuing our travel insurance as they did nothing wrong”. I have lost 5 hours of my life working with multiple employees explaining the problem, many do not understand English very well so I had to repeat myself over and over. Not once did anyone ever call me back from Travelocity like they promised, not one time. This caused me to explain to complicated story multiple times to new people which killed my time, time I will never get back.
Now it’s the day of travel, 7-5-18. We wake up at 2:45 am and I check my email. At 1:49 am Travelocity sent me another “flight change” email saying our 1st leg 5:45 am flight changed from departing on 7-5-18 to 7-10-18… This email also shows a total of 5 flight legs, not 4? At this point we are moving forward period, I don’t tell my wife about this 1:49 am email as we are both on the verge of losing our mind. we arrive at the Eugene airport at 4:30 am to check in. We check our luggage with a Horizon Airlines agent and all goes well until we see her walking towards us as we are sitting in the gate. She asks us for our tickets again, says we are not on the flight manifest and do not have seats on this flight.
Then she reviews our tickets and see we do in fact have assigned seats. She takes our tickets to the counter and scans them, they all work, then she brings them back and says “well they all scanned just fine so I guess you're good, lucky for you this flight has room”. We board the flight and at 5:28 am we get another email with only 4 legs but still stating our 7-5 flight was moved to 7-10.
Well I thought I was all done writing my letter but it looks like the return flight was just as messed up by Travelocity. We did fly home on 7-10-18 so on 7-9-18 we again attempted to check in online and could not. After a few failed attempts to check in online I called Sun Country Airlines at 10:49 am MN time, the lady I spoke to there disconnected me. I called back a few minutes later and spoke to different lady for 16 minutes. She confirmed we could not check in online but said she could check us in over the phone. At this time we also upgraded our seats through her. I explained to her that my main concern was that my luggage would be checked all the way through our destination of Eugene, Oregon. She assured me they would. She was wrong.

I just read a review on here from Deborah in Harrisonburg that sounds incredibly similar to what just happened to me. I have used Travelocity for several years and not had any problems until now, and the problem is significant enough that I will simply never use them again. In attempting to book a flight, I received an error message that the flight I was looking at was now full, but, now this is important, "don't worry you were not charged," and then provided me a link to try and book another flight. Well, come to find out after three unsuccessful attempts and receiving the same error message guaranteeing that I would not be charged for an unconfirmed booking, I look at my bank statement and there are three charges for the return flight pending in my account! This also then made it impossible for me to book this flight anywhere else for THREE DAYS while the system removed the hold for each of those return flights.
Meanwhile the cost of the trip itself continued to go up each day. When contacted they were less than helpful, saying that I simply had to wait until those pending charges were removed since no flight was ever successfully booked and finalized. So okay a couple of things here. First, the error page explicitly states that I would not be charged. Second, seriously, three days I have to wait for your mistake, Travelocity? And lastly, this trip ultimately cost me another $200. So thank you, I will absolutely never waste my time with your company again. There is just too much decent competition out there to ever bother with you again. UPDATE: I am going to file a claim for each fraudulent charge with my bank, with any hopes of getting them fined at the very least for this unethical practice.

Yet after 5 hours of holds and back and forth Travelocity still insist the airline as a charge. Airline can't make the change due to it was booked via agency. So I'm stuck with paying $230!

I have used Travelocity for many years and have never had a problem until recently when I booked a reservation and immediately discovered that I selected the wrong hotel. Of course, I immediately called Travelocity (within 5 minutes) and the representative was cordial but informed me that the hotel has a no refund cancellation policy. However, since I purchased the vacation waiver/insurance that they would refund me the hotel charge minus $176.00 - the cost of the travel insurance. I tried to explain that I selected it as an error and was being punished for making a mistake. The next day, I spoke to a manager who also regurgitated the same information. I asked if I should call the hotel directly and would it make a difference and they said it would not.
I agree with the other reviewers that this company has no integrity and is making money by illegally charging customers for making mistakes. Whatever happened to a grace period for cancellation of services within 24-48 hours? Their customer service really needs to be assessed since they are severely lacking in this area. I am out of $176 and will never use the company again. They are robbing people by using policies that are unfair, unjust and should be ashamed of themselves. Please use another company.

Corporate told them to cancel both reservations in full without penalty as the issues were THEIR fault.

During the call, I was informed by the hotel that they were fully booked and there wasn't supposed to be an opening on Travelocity. I was asked to request my refund from Travelocity. I called the customer service of Travelocity, where I was told they were having difficulty contacting the hotel. I found this absurd as I called the hotel without any issues.

I sent an email on the 30th of May still requesting my refund, and I was told that the hotel denied my refund due to policy. I didn't understand, and I asked for clarification. I was then informed in an email that the hotel marked me a "no show" hence they couldn't issue a refund. This is absurd, as I ended up booking another hotel and paying almost twice the price I paid on Travelocity.
Travelocity charged my credit card when a hotel was fully booked and has refused to issue a refund even after I brought it to their notice. I realized that this is not a unique experience as there are several complaints about this behavior of Travelocity online. People booking travels and hotels should please avoid the services of Travelocity. They are unreliable and would take your money without delivering what was promised.

I was trying to book a roundtrip ticket from Tucson to Nashville and was watching Travelocity for several weeks.

One time when I was checking and again going back and forth trying to see which days were better to travel, the site changed my dates and I did not notice because I came up with a great fare and decided to book it. My annual meeting dates with my small business were to travel May 4 and return May 6 but I was willing to go a day earlier or stay a day later.
After I booked it I did receive an email from Travelocity but I did not read it at the time because I was busy and several days later when talking with a co-worker who was getting ready to book her ticket I discovered my ticket was completely wrong; it was for travel on the 15th of May and returning on the 23rd of May which is useless to me. I did not select those dates, their system filled it in!
When I called them to explain what happened I was on the phone for a very very long time and passed from person to person and then a manager who was not very friendly and told me by booking my ticket, I confirmed that was what I wanted which was ridiculous. She also said I got a confirmation email therefore I told them twice that was what I wanted. I tried to get a credit for travel at another time and they did not allow that and I tried to cancel but it was going to cost me a lot of money to cancel which added up more than the ticket. I am having to just keep the ticket and I will be a no show otherwise it will cost me money.

I have never written a review regarding any online services I have used in the past but I am so horrified about my treatment from Travelocity that I had to write one this time. My son surprised my husband and me with tickets to Baltimore as a Christmas present. He bought the trip insurance in case we had issue with the itinerary he selected for us. We had a change in plans and ended up canceling the tickets. When I tried to re-book our flights and use the credit in our account, Travelocity charged a $100 fee per ticket. When I disputed this charge they told me they have many trip insurance policies and this is the way this particular policy worked. Of course this is not the way it was explained to my son when he bought it. Why would anyone pay $38 extra per ticket for trip insurance that is not honored by Travelocity? I will NEVER use Travelocity again.

More than a month has gone by since I first wrote this review. My "Travelocity" problem has since been resolved - by Delta and NOT by Travelocity. I just found the review I wrote in my Gmail drafts folder and remembered that I intended to send it to ConsumerAffairs, I just got sidetracked by life. In retrospect I think the moral of this story is DO NOT book through Travelocity if you are booking more than a week or two out. If you do, be aware that airline schedules change and when they do, DON'T expect Travelocity to fix any problems caused by the changes. Instead, call the airline you booked your flights with. Sounds like a "no brainer", right? But I don't fly much anymore and so wasn't aware of potential problems. Find a comfortable spot if you are curious. My first sentence warns you it is long and I wasn't exaggerating. This is the review I wrote, and then forgot about:
This is long, so be prepared. If I could give Travelocity multiple negative stars I would give them a zillion. My problem hasn't been resolved yet, hoping it will be. Airlines change their schedules - I get that. BUT how Travelocity is dealing with changes is completely unacceptable. I've been reading some reviews and I see I'm not the only person complaining about the exact same thing. My story has a little different twist because I am deaf but apparently the basic scenario is the same. I wrote a long email to Delta and I am just going to insert it here word for word (except I am deleting names and our Skymile and phone numbers and I tweaked a couple of words hastily written in my state of dismay. )): The following was sent to Delta:
*HOW CAN WE HELP? First off - I am hoping my daughter has solved my problem already. So this is a bit of a rant. If you don't have the time or the patience, or are for some reason sick of old deaf people writing to you, please pass this off. If you by chance have an associate who is hard of hearing that would be a good person to give this email to because they will understand. I am 68 years old and deaf. I have cochlear implants. I haven't flown in years because of this. The last flights I took were short flights to Vegas on Allegiant. They were good about boarding me first, putting me in front, etc. because once I get in the airport and on a plane I can't understand anything (it's way too noisy). Now I just drive to Vegas. I didn't even realize I still had Skymiles left over from a long trip in my working days. My granddaughter is graduating from Dartmouth in June.
This is a big deal in our family - nobody else has ever been smart enough or worked hard enough to get a full ride scholarship. So my daughter convinced me that I should fly to Manchester NH (I have a sister there too) and attend the graduation. My husband (Skymile # **) (who has been flying lately - elderly sick parents in Indiana) has started getting himself 1st class tickets and he wanted me to discover how wonderful it is to fly 1st class - which I've never flown because of the cost. But he said he would pay for the upgrade (which he has yet to do, I'm not holding my breath), so I booked it.
Full disclosure: the fare I found was "business" class but he wanted me to go 1st so I researched and discovered that on domestic flights they are basically the same - I hope that is true and the internet wasn't lying. But this email isn't about that - it's about the grief I (and now my daughter) am going through because I booked with Travelocity. Here is what has transpired: Phone calls are really difficult for me - but I try - sometimes successful, sometimes not so much. I received an email from Travelocity that said several legs of my flights to and from Manchester had been changed. I read it all and they had all changed by just a few minutes that made no difference to me EXCEPT that Detroit leg on the return back to Bozeman that is causing all the problems. That email didn't show that anything had changed on that leg! It was exactly the same as what I booked.
Then yesterday I got an email from Travelocity asking me to call them because of “substantial” changes. So I did but I couldn't understand the first person at all (accent and talked too fast). So that is where things get tricky. Because I tell this person I'm deaf - ask him (or her - I can't even tell the difference) to talk slooowly - pretend I'm mentally challenged or 4 years old. After a bit - they tire of my not being able to understand - apparently they are incapable of talking slowly or it’s against the rules or something - they put me on hold - for a long time. So, I hung up and called back - hoping I'd get someone I can understand. I had a hard time understanding the second call too (**) but she tried to slow down at least and I got most of it. First, I think she tried to get me to accept the original fare.
The reason I think that is because she kept reading the itinerary to me and asking me if I accepted it. So, I kept asking why she was asking me that and why they wanted me to call them for such small changes that didn't make a difference to me. So then she went on about having to rebook the fare. So I was asking why about that too. When she was repeating the itinerary back (for probably the third time) I finally (somehow, it was like a miracle) caught that there was a time problem with that Detroit leg on my return home.
So I made her repeat it again and then she said something like "Oh yeah - that's not a valid connection". Duh! Then the searching for alternative flights started. She found one that left really early on June 13th (the original flight left in the afternoon) and while I was trying to decide whether I should accept that, she mentioned that I could leave the day before or after if I wanted to. Well that could work. So that's when she came up with the June 12th itinerary - leaving Manchester at 1 pm, arriving in NY about 2, then Minneapolis and then getting home at 9:05. She made me confirm that I would accept that itinerary (which I did) and then she said something that sounded to me like "I can't authorize this so I'm transferring you to... (someone - I couldn't understand exactly). So then I got a man (I think) who was absolutely impossible."
By now I’m in tears (unless you’ve been, or are, deaf you can’t possibly understand how stressful this call has become) so I take my phone to my daughter’s house (she lives close and he has me on hold again - I guess hoping I will go away) and ask her to take over and help me. The guy finally came back and even she couldn’t understand him!!!! Made me feel a bit better anyway. He finally transferred her to someone else (at her request) and she basically had repeat conversations the same as mine trying to get the ticket changed. They kept putting her on hold too after the transfer to the person “who is authorized to change the itinerary” but that person kept putting her on hold and she finally gave up. All this took more than 3 hours!!!
So, my daughter is calling Delta today while at work or after work. After what we went through last night I can’t imagine how she’ll get it done at work. But she says she will be able to straighten it all out. God, I hope so. So now, with hindsight, what I think is that actually Travelocity isn't allowed to make changes like that - you have to call Delta - but I didn't know that. So why did Travelocity even tell me to call them? Why didn't they say I need to call Delta?
I think Delta shouldn't be partnering or associating with Travelocity if they won't let them fix schedule changes. Well, that's it. Maybe all is well by the time you get this. But then again, maybe not. If whoever is reading this has the authority to change an itinerary my daughter's number is **. If by chance you are an American with no accent and capable of speaking slowly you could try calling me at **. Thank you for reading all this.

Terrible customer service. We purchased the extra insurance with the expectation that we would be able to cancel in the event we could not make the trip. That is not the case and Travelocity refuses to help out in any way. They told us that there was nothing that could be done after looking into the situation for only 1 minute. Do not use Travelocity. Do not buy their insurance if you do. It is only extra money in their pocket.

If you didn't know any better I would say Travelocity is working with bad businesses to make them look better than they appear. Why? I don't know, money most likely. I recently experienced a classic bait and switch where they showed me a "4-Star" hotel only to arrive to a borderline 2 star. Of course they would drag out the repayment only to end up not paying anything. Garbage.

I am very disappointed TRAVELOCITY SWAPPING THE AIRPORT OF DESTINATION WITHOUT INFORMING ITS CUSTOMER. Then, its agent asks for MUCH MORE FEE to change the right destination, although TRAVELOCITY makes its mistake in the first place. I will never book my flights with Travelocity again. I also suggest customers watching out for Travelocity misleading its customer.
I booked an around trip from my city to Los Angeles, CA. Travelocity site displayed the airport of destination as LAX (Los Angeles Airport). However, after booking, Travelocity SWAPPED THE ARRIVAL AIRPORT to Orange County (SNA) WITHOUT INFORMING THE CUSTOMER. However, the return trip starting from LAX was correct. When confirming my trip, I overlooked the destination of departing trip with simple reasons: 1) I entered Los Angeles as my destination; 2) my return trip would start from LAX that is correct; 3) I would expect if Travelocity changes my destination, they should inform the customer the destination change.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because by the looks of it there are many dissatisfied and disappointed **former customers of Travelocity (read below). My husband and I booked an all inclusive vacation to a reputable resort in Negril Jamaica. We bought the insurance in the event that we needed to modify our booking. Be forewarned that if you do buy the insurance through TRAVELOCITY they will not reimburse you for any changes made to your reservation due to weather or changes made to your flight(s) changed by the airline(s).
Our vacation was cut short by one full day because the airline canceled the flight due to weather and when I followed up with Travelocity to be reimbursed for the missed day, they were unable and/or unwilling to do anything to make it right. Much like everyone else here, I had to make several calls - on my vacation none the less - to go around in circles without any resolution. We paid 4k for a 7 day trip that essentially turned into 5. In addition to this our return flight was changed last minute and ended up spending 7 hours in the airport for a layover. I DO NOT RECOMMEND using this company if you want peace of mind or want to be appreciated for your business. Don't do it!!!

Booked several hotels on Travelocity.ca- the Canadian site, NOT the US site. So I get my email booking confirmations and there are two prices on each. None of them indicate USD. Essentially what they have done is quoted me one price in USD (and not said it's in USD) and the second in Canadian. But, it just looks like 2 separate prices. So why shouldn't I be paying the lesser of the two? A manager at Travelocity agreed, and emailed me a confirmation for each booking saying that all I had to do was email them the hotel receipt and they would reimburse me the difference for each room. So I return from my trip and in good faith follow their instructions. The next day I receive 4 emails telling me that, contrary to what their manager said - they can't do this via email. It has now been over 2.5 hours that I have spent on the phone trying to sort this out.
Essentially, Travelocity's refund procedure deems it necessary that you need to stay on hold while they talk to billing to have the reimbursement done. After 45 minutes I just got disconnected. The agent called me back and essentially refused to take the other three confirmation numbers and told me we would have to go through this process 4 times. I asked to speak with another manager and she then just put me on hold. I hung up after 30 minutes. Ridiculous. Worst customer service around. To expect clients to wait on the phone for HOURS while they fix multiple mistakes they have made with bookings is just INSANE. Do you people know ANYTHING about what defines acceptable customer service? It seems not.

I’m disgusted. Last week I made a reservation for a hotel stay last night. I cancelled 2 days after making it. I made sure it was within the time frame to prevent charges. Then this morning I get notice I was charged $187. Called the hotel who said I was a “no show”. I explained situation and they referred me to Travelocity. I called. Rep was kind and tried to help but had to pass me onto supervisor. Supervisor was kind and tried to help but had to contact corporate. On the phone the supervisor explained corporate was able to confirm my activity online and that I “tried” to cancel. They said my cancellation was “not successful”. I followed the link texted to me to cancel the reservation. It seemed quite simple and took me to a page that said “cancel this reservation” and I clicked on it.
There was never any indication that the cancellation process that I followed as instructed was “not successful”. Now I’m out $187 for a trip I cancelled. And I repeat- corporate CONFIRMED on the phone call that they could see the cancellation steps I took... but it “wasn’t successful”. I’m in social work and hardly make the extra $ to just throw around. I’m so disgusted with Travelocity. So disgusted.

The first time this happened I called and they claim that the airline had just updated their prices and gave me the lower rate, which I had seen when I started booking my flight. Yesterday, I was booking a hotel and air package and the same thing happened. I called and was told the exact same thing, the airline just updated their prices. This time the agent refused to honor the lower price even after I explained to her that I would take my business elsewhere. Later on I learned that I really didn't have very many options since Expedia purchased Travelocity and a bunch of other travel sites.

I’d like to share my horrible experience with Travelocity and warn people to never use this company again because it treats its customer unfairly and refuses to be responsible for its own mistakes. I booked a round-trip flight in 11/2017 to fly from Honolulu to Xi’an (China) via Shanghai on China Eastern Airlines. My departure date is 6/4/18 and return date 7/19/18. On March 11, I received an email from Travelocity notifying me that my arrival time into Honolulu on 7/19/18 has been changed. It was a minor change and I was fine with it.
However, upon closer look, I noticed that my flight from Xi’an to Shanghai on the same day has also been changed. My two children and I have been moved from the 9 am flight to 7:30 am. This much bigger change was not even highlighted in the email. To me, this was a terrible change because it means that I’d have to get my kids out of bed at 4 am to catch the flight, only to wait at Shanghai airport all day for my 5 pm connecting flight back to Honolulu. So I called China Eastern and was told that to make any changes to my itinerary, I’d have to pay $150 per ticket change fee plus fare differences, the reason being that I have already used up my one free flight change the airline allows. (What?! But I never requested the change at the first place! The airline moved me to a different flight!) They told me to call Travelocity because my tickets were issued by them.
Thus, my real nightmare began. Over the course of 2 days, I made 3 phone calls, and spent a total of 8.5 hours trying to make the people at Travelocity understand that I shouldn’t have to pay for another itinerary change because the first change was made by the airline without my consent! What I found out was that according to Travelocity system, two emails have been sent to me (which I received neither!) in Feb when China Eastern wanted to change my flight. My absence of response (because I never got those emails) was treated by its system as “customer accepted the change" and so the change was made to my itinerary. Every time I asked, "Why didn’t anyone try to call me when you didn’t get a response from me", they avoided to give me a straight answer, instead they just said “airline can do whatever they want to your itinerary without letting you know”.
But in this case China Eastern did try to inform me and did give me a chance to say no in Feb. It was Travelocity that failed to let me know. So now because one change has been made to my itinerary, even though I never asked or agreed to it, somehow it counts as my one free flight change and I must pay if I want to make any further changes. (Completely outrageous!) If anyone has to pay, it should be Travelocity because they failed to reach me and they noted in their system that I was ok with the change without me knowing it! The worst part was that with each of my 3 phone calls, I had to go through several layers of customer service people, the first two in the Philippines (rep and supervisor level) and then I’d be transferred to a manager in an U.S. office. Each transfer took anywhere between 45-60 minutes!
I spoke with a total of 10 people, each time having to explain my issue. My 2nd phone call took 4 hours, and all I was trying to do with that particular call was to get a correct email address for the manager in the U.S. that I had spoken with during my 1st phone call because she had emailed me and asked me to reply with a screenshot of the flight change notice I got from Travelocity on March 11. Every time I tried to reply to her email, it would fail so I had no choice but to go through the whole process again: rep, supervisor in the Philippines and then manager in the U.S. Total nightmare! During the process, I’ve noticed that the reps have the best customer service skills and attitude while the managers were the worst of the worst.
The managers I spoke with were: Britney **, Kristy **, Sharon ** and Mirza (did not get last name but she was the only nicer one that didn’t make me feel like I was talking to a heartless machine.) The whole time they just kept on telling me that the airline didn’t even have to let me know about a flight change. In the end of 8.5 hours, I gave up and asked where I can send my complaint to since Kristy ** said that there were no managers above her that I could escalate this matter to anymore. She told me that I can write a letter to her office but the letter will just be handled by the same managers that I’ve spoken to. I am done with Travelocity. Obviously the company doesn’t care about its customers and the managers they hire operate like machines that have no ability to sympathize with customers and have no desire to be helpful. They are not there to help anyone but to cover up their own screw ups.

I recently purchased a travel package (airfare, hotel and car rental) as a gift through Travelocity.com. It was the most horrible experience for my friend and I felt terrible. Since I paid for it I wanted to send a complaint to the BBB. I am aware that with these discounted online offers you buy are less convenient with extra stops and long layovers at the airport, however just because you are getting this so-called "wonderful deal" does not mean you are treated with lesser service, assistance and/or hidden costs. This person is 6'4" and I reiterated the need for a seat where there was extra leg space, which I was told 'certainly not a problem' and I stated the rental car needed to be a mid-size or larger, also 'not a problem'... The ball was dropped so the plane setting was virtually impossible to fit comfortably for a 9 hour flight due to the layovers. Apparently Travelocity.com has nothing to do with seating assignment or the car size...
I wish I was aware of this when I was making arrangements. I could have made arrangements because height can be a problem for some when it comes to flying or car choices. The car rental required extra expenses due to that request not being fulfilled. I also contacted Delta Airlines to confirm the seat assignment was taken care of and I contacted the rental car company to confirm the car size, neither company were aware of my requests. This is my second purchase through Travelocity.com and I have learned that cheaper or "deals" aren't necessarily so wonderful. I put out $500 extra in unplanned expenses when I could have paid for a non-stop flight and ordered my own rental. This was no deal and there is no one to speak with at through these online companies when you have a complaint. Happy to speak to you when they want money. NEVER AGAIN.

I booked a room on Travelocity. I accidentally put the wrong day in. I called them back immediately. They said they called the hotel and changed the date to the one I wanted. They even emailed me confirmation. They told me verbally over the phone that it was all set. I got there tonight and NO ROOM. I wasted an hour and a half of my night and had to stay at another hotel on my dime. NOT HAPPY. TRAVELOCITY SCREWED IT UP AND DIDNT CARE TO FIX IT. I AM BEYOND ANGRY.

Easy to use. No problems getting ticket or boarding or getting return flight. Didn't like not being able to change flight time or no refunds if wanted to stay longer or go back at a later date or earlier.

Stated you get to book seats on flights. NOT TRUE... It is a total upcharge that cost me 188 EXTRA dollars. AND to top it off I could have gotten the flight cheaper by booking direct with the airline carrier. Travelocity I am DONE booking flights with you now FOREVER!!!

I was told if I booked, I'd have 24 hours to cancel. Well, guess what, 15 hours later, I realized I'd gotten the wrong flight and would need to wait for 6 hours to be picked up. I went in, thinking this would be easy to sort out, like on other sites — no. They were going to charge me hundreds of dollars to cancel, and blamed the airlines! No one else blames the airlines. They just cancel when they say they're going to. I called, trying to clarify the situation, and was put on hold. When I hung up, they called back, and said I needed to wait and be patient. Again, I was put on hold. After another half-hour, I finally gave up. So, I'll be waiting for 6 hours at the airport, and I will NEVER USE TRAVELOCITY AGAIN. I recommend you avoid them, too.

I was overbooked for trip by 3 cents. They couldn't help me and said I had to wait 3 to 5 days to get refund so I could rebook trip I already paid for. I asked for manager. She couldn't help. Then when I wanted to go above her. Told no one was available. I wished I had read reviews before. Company is a complete scam. Don't not use under any circumstances.

Terrible experience with Travelocity trying to get a refund for a flight that was cancelled by the Airlines. Talked to three different agents... Have been on the phone for over an hour with no results. They want to refund part of the airfare and interrupt every step of the way. Will never use Travelocity again.

Never again will I book through them. I got my departure confirmation within five minutes but didn't receive my confirmation for my return flight. I freaked out. I Facebook messaged Travelocity & it took the person forever to respond and finally they tell me they only have confirmation of my departure flight. I ask them to double check since the funds came out of my account. Same response. About 30 minutes later I finally received my confirmation email from Spirit for my return flight. Again, I wanted Travelocity to confirm. I email this time and provide my confirmation codes for both flights AND THEY STILL COULDN'T FIND MY RETURN FLIGHT. At this point, I'm freaking out. I check with Frontier for my departure flight and they confirm. I check with Spirit and they confirm. Never again will I use Travelocity. They don't know what they are doing.

I've used Travelocity multiple times for flights, hotels, and vacation packages. I've never had an issue with them until recently. I was looking at vacation packages for Pueblo Bonito Pacifica one night, and it was $9/night to add on the all inclusive package. Came back the next day to check prices and the all inclusive option skyrocketed to $179/night. This is just ridiculous and absolutely absurd. How does pricing go up that high OVERNIGHT??! An inexpensive vacation has now turned into a mortgage payment!
I looked on Bookit.com and the price has NOT gone up for the exact same package. So why is Travelocity charging so much? They are all about profit! They charge you more than what the flight, hotel, vacation package is even worth so they can pocket the rest of that money. I also notice they have those bogus deals where they say book this hotel and get flight 100% free. THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE!! You go back and look 2 hours later and the price is the same, but now it's a completely different deal. Book now and get one night free, get 100% off flight, etc. Expedia and Travelocity both need to be shut down.

The airline emailed me and told me there was a change in my flight. It went to a non-stop to a one stop plane transfer. I called the Travelocity to see if I could change the flight and both times I called it was answered by a trained person with a heavy accent. Then after many questions they transferred me to another department where I was on hold with no answer. I will NEVER use Travelocity again!

In a nutshell I was trying to book 2 airline tickets and the price was exactly what I wanted, I entered my credit card info and it was taking an incredibly long time to process. Then a msg pops up & says to try again. I do and it tells me my flights went up by almost $500??? I believe Travelocity is advertising false prices and booking people in and then during checkout they suddenly up the price and say “oh this is real-time. The price must’ve gone up during your booking time.” Absolute ** and I am calling our attorney.

Travelocity is a scam. They just want to rip you off. This is what happen to me. I was trying to book four bundle deals with them to go to Punta Cana with my family and every time I go to check out the price will go significantly up and when I book it and try to speak to someone on the phone to cancel them immediately 'cause the fourth package they wanted a lot more money than what’s online. They refuse to give me my money back and get me on the phone for hours and I speak with a lot of people who promise to help me get in contact with the hotel and no one help me at all. No one contact the hotel.
They just wanted to keep my money and hope I will go away. They push you around and promise me I will get my money back and I am still waiting for it. This is the worst company. The site said you get your money back within 24 hours of booking, that’s a scam. A big scam. Stay away from this company 'cause if something happen they will not help you. They just want your money. They only want your money and tell you something else and do another.

Contacted Travelocity via phone to obtain information on flight cancellation and effect on insurance claim. Three calls, averaging 15+ minutes and all were dropped while waiting for a supervisor. The worst company to deal with. Shame on me for not checking its ratings. First time using THEM and the last. Stay away.

I bought a ticket with full insurance. I called in to cancel the flight a few ways before and they wanted to give me a credit with AA. I asked for the manager. The full insurance I bought for a refund may possibly be refunded if approved by the third party Travel Guard, and they will require medical proof that my wife cannot fly. I want a refund because I bought the insurance for $60 that states on their website I will get a full refund. They actually said to read the fine print. (SCAM)! This company are scam artist. DO not use them. They will keep your money no matter what. They will try to give you credit. Read the other reviews for that!!! Horrendous! They need to be shut down! I'm calling AA next!

I could tell you the long story or the short story. The short story is this: don't use Travelocity. If you need to change your flight, you will spend hours (as in many hours) on the phone, you will repeat your requirements to multiple people, then they will charge you for the most expensive flight they can find. Use Expedia.

I'm trying to book flight plus hotel package to Tokyo, Japan. Every time I choose my package, choose my room and flights I get a certain price, but after pressing the button CONTINUE BOOKING, I get the following message: We hate when this happens. The price of your trip has changed from $3,221.03 to $5,695.37. Really? $2.5K in price change? Other packages change from $2,800 to $6,500. They seriously think I'm going to pay extra $2-$4K per package??? Are they out of their mind??? I'm beyond disappointed!!!

The site Travelocity uses to enter flight information creates a problem for users as it can load the first name of the credit card holder in place of the actual traveler in error. For example: My wife made an airline reservation with my credit card. The airline ticket was made with my name not hers as the actual traveler. When we tried to correct the name with Travelocity they refused to change the first name on the ticket. We bought travel insurance on the ticket to cancel. They still refused, it was for death or hospitalization only. So we lost the full amount of the ticket just due to a first name change.

I had booked two rooms for 5 nights in a hotel in Aruba 24th-29th on Travelocity, all was fine until the second couple couldn't come till the 25th- then enter the morons at Travelocity!!! I asked them to cancel the first night and add one more night - simple right? No. The person I spoke to unbeknownst to me went ahead and cancelled the WHOLE room for the ENTIRE stay!!! Even though I reiterated the fact that it was for just the ONE night. They never sent a notice of cancellation or anything at all -so imagine my surprise a week ago when I called the hotel to request some services that they only had ONE reservation!!! I immediately called Travelocity and inquired as to what had happened to the second reservation- "YOU CANCELLED IT" they said to which I replied, "Absolutely not!!!" Anyway fast forward through all the arguing and now the hotel is booked and the difference to book what they have left is $5000!!!
They say "Book it, we will listen to the phone conversation you had with the agent, if we are at fault we will refund the $5000 difference, you must call us back in 48hrs to check to see if we decided that we are at fault." Fast forward 48hrs, one day before we are due to leave, I spend over one hour on hold, the agent gets on the phone and she reads a 2min piece of a 27 minute transcript from the phone call -where it was clearly stated that I had said "cancel one room for one night." Even after hearing that, Travelocity had decided that they were not at fault, because at some point the agent said "cancel one room?" And I said "yes for one night"- they have determined that they will NOT cover the difference!!! I will never ever use them again, so disgusted with their lack of customer service and integrity - worth noting also that Expedia owns Travelocity as well as Trivago, Hotels.com, Hotwire and other travel search engines so BEWARE!!!

I have not seen 1 good review for this company. Why are they being allowed to continue sapping the life out of customers? Anyway, I booked a flight for my fiance, but purchased cancellation insurance for the ticket. She could not make it to the departure city, which is 4 hours away from where she lives. I call Travelocity who informs me I have to file an insurance claim to get my money back, which was annoying. I have the flu and am really not in the mood for a hassle. Then, when I go to file the claim, I had to use her last name, when I insured the ticket, not the traveler. There was no option to have the money placed back onto my credit card, and all I could provide was my home address without my name. What kind of crap is this?
I can tell this is going to be nonsense, even though the Travelocity guy said they would return the funds to my credit card. How can they do that when the claim form didn't ask for my card #? I don't think Travel Guard can see who purchased the ticket or the cancellation plan; just the traveler's name. Oh boy! Never again. It's misleading even to call this a cancellation plan when it's travel insurance. I'll deal directly with the airline from now on, because this is pure poo-poo in the making. When the price seems too good to be true, it usually is. SMH.
Updated on 1/23/2018: The ticket was from Raleigh, NC to Atlanta, GA. The traveler is in Chesapeake, VA. Not only couldn't she make it to Raleigh, NC, but is receiving treatments for her back that would require her to return to VA when I couldn't pay that ticket back quickly enough. I call Travelocity, who tells me that the cancellation plan is actually travel insurance; that I'd have to file a claim to get my money back. I asked how the money would be returned, and he said to the credit card that purchased the ticket & the cancellation plan. Lie #1. Come to find out that they mail a check, and want to put the traveler's name on the check even though I told them I'm the one who purchased both.
Then, I go to file a claim, and it never asked me my name; only the traveler. I file the claim, call TravelGuard (who works on behalf of Travelocity). I had to cancel the ticket before filing a claim. Then, people from TravelGuard tell me that under the insurance, I don't qualify to get my money back. I merely stated that the traveler couldn't get to Raleigh, NC. Then, I start getting upset and tell them that not only isn't the traveler the one who purchased the ticket, but that she also had medical issues that prevented her from staying for more than a week. It was a one-way ticket. So, I ask them to send me the stupid medical form, that they want her to have her doctor fill out and send back to God-knows-who. She is not technically inclined, and I have no idea how any of that would work. Her doctor probably doesn't give their email address out in order to send the form.
Then, I get this message telling me that the payment can only be sent to the traveler, not the one who purchased the ticket or the plan. WHAT? I told them they were crazy and I made it very clear that it was my claim, not hers. They're giving me the run-around, and now it's time to contact the BBB or Attorney General where Travelocity headquarters is, since they're the ones who hire TravelGuard. They're doing anything to get free-money from consumers. I can't even believe they have the audacity to think they can just keep money from a ticket that was never used and was cancelled for 2 different reasons. What a bunch of crap & nonsense. Do NOT do business with Travelocity; contact the airline directly, because they and the companies they work with are scam-artists!
