    In the Fall of 2017 we had to cancel a trip to the USVI after the devastation of 2 hurricanes. Travelocity informed us that the airlines (AA and Delta) were issuing full refund with no re-ticketing fees and I was left with a $3000 credit on my Travelocity account. I've tried to use the credit several times and every time there is a hitch on their end. Here's the most recent: Travelocity and AA both show a one way flight from Lawton, OK to Raleigh, NC as $453. When I call to use my credit to purchase that flight (you can't use credits online so be prepared for hours on the phone!), I was told that the ticket price was $800 if I was going to use my credit (despite their website and AA's website showing a price of $453 during the entire 2 hour call). RUN, RUN, RUN, as fast as you can, away from Travelocity as a service provider. Much easier to work directly with the airline!

    We purchased a 2 night stay through Travelocity with a hotel in North Florida. We had a long drive and didn't get to hotel until the early morning. We confirmed with Travelocity that our reservation was confirmed. We paid IN FULL both nights. Upon arrival the hotel told us that there was no room reserved and we couldn't do anything about it. We called Travelocity and they said it's the responsibility of the hotel. Well we put in a complaint with our bank because we paid for 2 rooms in full that we didn't get to use. Travelocity kept the money and didn't offer anything to us. MY FAMILY AND MY COMPANY WILL NEVER BOOK THROUGH YOUR TRAVEL SITE AGAIN. Worst customer service and completely unfair when it comes to booking.

    I did a search via Travelocity to find a pet friendly motel. I stupidly assumed when there are search for a certain type of motel/hotel that only these type of motels would show up. That did not happen, and we were booked in a very non pet friendly motel. We had to make other arrangements after this debacle. We had to drive a extra thirty minutes, waste time and money! I will never use Travelocity again.

    I will never book through Travelocity again. The Four Queens made us stay in a smoking room even though we had booked requesting non smoking. The rooms were worn out and filthy. The staff said they could not give us better rooms because we booked through Travelocity. The casino staff at the tables were rude.

    After I stood in line at the Stratosphere for 30 min to check in, they told me that my check out time would be Thursday. I said, "No here is my email from Travelocity and it say Friday just like I requested." The lady says, "Well we only have you booked in our system until Thursday and you will need to call Travelocity." When I did I was pretty much called a liar and I only booked until Thursday and the confirmation I had really didn't matter. Wasted a lot of time over $70 but that's not the point. I own a car dealership and we strive for customer experience and this was not a good customer experience. We travel a lot and send our employees on lots of training out of state. I will be looking for a new way of planning future trips.

    I booked a round trip with car rental and hotel through Travelocity. The flight was the only thing that was fine. I got off the plane and went straight to the car rental place (Avis). They told me that I couldn’t get my car that I already paid for because I am only 20. On the Travelocity website, it says if you’re underage they will charge you extra. Which I was fine with because I already knew that. Had to call Travelocity to get my money back and had to go through a different car rental place (Hertz). They took me and charged me extra, but they only had an SUV which is way more expensive than a car. After I got my car I went to my hotel I booked. The worker asked for my name and I gave it to her then she said she has nobody by that name.

    I pulled up my Travelocity account and showed her that it was booked. She said there was nothing she can do about it and I would have to call Travelocity because she was out of rooms for that night. Called Travelocity AGAIN. Sat at the hotel I originally booked for over an HOUR while on the phone with Travelocity. They refunded my money and tried to relocate me to a different hotel. The lady I was on the phone with kept putting me on hold to call another hotel and every time she put me off hold she would say “sorry miss but the hotels around you are all booked.” Like that helped. (It was harder to find a hotel because I’m not 21 yet. Most hotels' check in age are 21). My own mom ended up finding me a hotel so I hung up the phone with Travelocity. Called in the morning to make sure they refunded my money and gave me $200 dollars for a future trip. That’s it. Do not use Travelocity!

    I booked a trip through Travelocity just prior to the hurricanes this past season. My travel destination in St. Thomas was destroyed, and with no intention to rebuild that specific home, I had to cancel my trip. When I made my travel plans, I purchased the travel insurance that was suggested by Travelocity. When my vacation house was destroyed, I was told that the fine print indicates that I have to be the owner of the house in order to get any type of refund awarded by my insurance. I found this vacation rental on VRBO.com, and I don't know about you, but I'm not aware of many people who vacation to their OWN HOMES. It was suggested by the insurance company that I call Travelocity directly, which I did, multiple times.

    They've told me that if I cancel or reroute my trip, I can get a $400 credit for each round trip ticket, but to get that credit, I would have to pay a $250 charge per each round trip ticket, lessening my credit to just $150 per round trip ticket. I paid just over $1000 for each round trip ticket. And that's in addition to the new fees should I decide to reroute to another destination. Even WITH the credit, I am out in excess of $2000, and no one on Travelocity's end seems to care that an act of God derailed my trip, and the insurance that THEY referred me to, and I paid for, is of no use to me.

    They will charge you double and will never return your extra charged fee unless you call them more than 100 times. Some representative will listen to you for 30 min and will either disconnect you or they will transfer to another customer representative. It's a nightmare when you book your ticket with them.

    Do not purchase Travelocity's insurance - there are so many loopholes. It's a waste of money. When I attempted to argue the point (they refused to cover a legitimate change fee) they kept me on the phone for over 30 minutes and kept telling me the same thing over and over - even after I repeatedly asked for them to stop and just book the flight. All told, Travelocity cost me over $800 in fees and alternate tickets that I should not have had to pay. I had been a loyal user for years and now will not only not use but will discourage others. They had the opportunity to do this right and keep a long-term customer but they chose not to.

    Booked a round trip ticket with flight insurance. In the event of illness, injury and so on. I opted to pay additional money for this plan due to my having Osteoarthritis and a severe case at that. It turns out the night of my return trip I experienced severe muscle spasms in my neck and down my left arm. Unable to drive my rental car to airport leaving me trying to contact airline directly to no avail. I contacted Travelocity where they charged me 739.00 for new flight. Zero credit for flight I had paid for and insured. Referred me to a third party (ins co), and to simply start a claim to retrieve my original return flight amount, I have pages of paperwork and need a doctor's excuse to boot. I would have never spent the additional money if I thought it would not be useful.

    In addition the second flight I booked they managed to book under my daughter's name and so I spent hours in line to find out I could not board the plane due to this. Telephoned Travelocity from airport to see if they could correct their error before boarding time, and no they could not even with a 2 hour plus window. They did credit my account for this however, I now had to book another flight that left 5 hours later which I forementioned was 739.00 approximately 300.00 more than the earlier flight. Travelocity gladly charged me 651.96 for their booking services!!! I would not recommend, but discourage anyone using this company. As for myself if they were selling the last ticket to heaven I would decline!!!

    These are the sequence of events: My brother-in-law living in Toronto breathed his last on Sep 30th, while I was in India. His services was scheduled for Oct 12th in Toronto. On Oct 4th, I booked my plane tickets as well as hotel (Trinity Suites) through Travelocity for 11th, Oct. The hotel price was $138.01. However, they charged me $199.00 on my credit card. On Oct 6th - 7th, while I was travelling back from India to the US, I received an email from Travelocity saying that I need to provide proof of identity via email and they wanted the following: A copy of your government issued ID and a picture of the name on the credit card, and the last 4 digits - within 2 hours for last minute bookings, and 24 hours for other bookings (please do not send a picture with the full credit card details).

    I got in touch with Travelocity on Oct 9th, and told them that I am NOT going to provide govt. issued ID cards through unsecured emails and also complained about the sudden hike in prices from $138.01 to $199. They volunteered to talk to Trinity Suites and get the reservation cancelled. I also talked to Trinity Suites answering services several times and they only assured me that the booking was on track. Just before taking my flights to Toronto on Oct 11th, I received an email from Travelocity that Trinity Suites has refused to cancel my reservation. I talked to them and they assured me that if I show them my ID and CC when I reach, it would be fine.

    I went to the Trinity Suites premises at 2.30 PM on the 11th, but I was told that I need to get the instructions from the owners. I called the Trinity Suites answering service at least 3 - 4 times and was told that the instructions should come to me before 4.00 PM which is the check-in time. I talked to Travelocity representatives also during this time who assured me of the reservation. Finally at 4:15 pm, when I called the Trinity Suites answering service, they told me that I will NOT be getting instructions since I refused to email them my govt. issued ID card and CC information. I called Travelocity shortly after to register my complaint and suddenly I received an email from Travelocity that my hotel reservation has been cancelled. Travelocity informed me on Oct 20 that no refund will be available to me. Travelocity along with Trinity Suites in Toronto are engaged in fraudulent activities.

    I booked a flight and decided on a 2 stop (3planes) before final destination as it was the least expensive. The airline ended up canceling my 2nd plane 2 weeks before my trip. I never found out as Travelocity (nor the airline) sent me any notice. When I go online to do the check in the day before is when I find out. I called the airline first and they blamed Travelocity so they did not help me.

    I called Travelocity and after being transferred to a second customer service-after a 32 min wait call-it took them 2 additional hrs of looking in their system to find me a flight and then had to wait additional 42 min for them to get "permission" from the airline to change my flight. I will NEVER again book with Travelocity or any other of these "middleman" companies for that matter. I felt helpless at their mercy to find another flight after the mess up. If they work with all these airlines, why did it take so long to rebook me?? I'm sure they were trying to find again a cheap flight and were willing to make me lose my vacation at my expense.

    Had to change flights due to cruise line cancelling cruise due to hurricane Maria. American Airlines issued a Special Travel Notice Affecting Cruise Customers waiving all change fees. Travelocity had already charged me $800 in change fees that American Airlines state they should not have. Travelocity refuses to refund or credit the overpayment. None of the 6 people I have spoken to at Travelocity can speak decent English and they all tell me a different story contradicting themselves and each other. Most stated I was not charged change fees. However, I have their itemization of what I was charged and it clearly shows I was charged $800 in change fees. Trying to resolve with American Airlines. Will never do business with Travelocity/Expedia again and suggest anyone else think twice. You are not saving money but only asking for grief.

    Unfortunately I had to cancel a trip booked on Travelocity. I was sent a note that I would have a credit with Travelocity and I understood there would be a $200 change fee when using the credit. I called Travelocity which took an extended amount of time to get through and they told me the route I wanted to use the credit on was not available. Huh? I could have booked a new reservation right then on their site but somehow I couldn't use a credit to book it? They will find every excuse they can to not let you use the credit, I expect because they get to keep the credit. Do yourself a favor and find another booking site.

    My itinerary said I would owe $501 at the Thrifty Car Rental counter and it included "all mandatory taxes and fees." When I arrived in Iceland at 4:30 a.m. I was asked for $650. I protested. I was told "it's the conversion rate." (Virtually 1:1, btw.) I decided to save the fight for when I was warmer, drier and better rested. The Travelocity "customer service" rep had a clear list of retorts ready for me that ranged from the absurd to the ludicrous. In the end, there was no remedy for me. The additional VAT of $150 was nothing they had control over. But he would surely pass on my concerns of FALSE ADVERTISING on their site up the chain. He consoled me that I was not the only person who complained. Do not trust the quote. It's not anywhere near what you will have to pay, despite the tag line to the contrary.

    Booked a car with Enterprise through Travelocity.com. My pick up/drop off location was Chicago O'hare International Airport. Once I booked my car, the confirmation said pick up/drop off location as Elmhurst, IL. I was a bit concerned about this. I called CSR at Travelocity and after spending 35-40 mins on the phone, they confirmed that the location will be at the O'hare airport. I requested an email to confirm. I trusted them because I've used Travelocity/Expedia for domestic and international travel before and I had never had any problems. Well this time was not the case.

    Once I was at the Enterprise counter at O'hare, they quoted me a rental fee twice the amount of my reservation through Travelocity. Then they said that they didn't have a car for me at all. I called Travelocity, the agent couldn't fix the issue. I was transferred to the manager. After spending 45 minutes on the phone at 5am, the "manager" said he couldn't do anything because I had not prepaid the reservation. I was forced to take the shuttle back to the airport went to Alamo a "sister" company to Enterprise, they also said they had no car for me. Went back to the airport and finally made it to Hertz, where I was able to find a car at a premium price. I was venting with the Hertz rep and she told me that Travelocity does the same thing to them.

    The Hertz rep told me that Travelocity searches for the cheapest rate "near" despite of your desired and indicated location, and books it, tricking you into something you don't want. I mean how were they expecting me to get to Elmhurst, IL from O'hare without a car? Will never use Travelocity/Expedia nor Enterprise again. Enterprise bad customer service leaving me to my own devices. Travelocity for lying and forcing me to waste time on my vacation with family trying to find alternate means of transportation.

    I had an overseas flight back scheduled for Aug the 8th. My itinerary # is **. I had some medical problems that prevented me to take that flight. I called the Travelocity Phone #**. I changed the flight back for Aug the 16th. I paid an extra U$300 for the change. Note that my round trip flight cost me U$ 840. Note too that today's fare are: - Round trip (NY- Colombia-NY): U$460 and one way flight from NY: U$260. The info source is the WEB different agencies (Travelocity, Expedia, Booking.,etc).

    I had to postpone my return trip to Colombia again, for medical problems that were not solved in the time estimated. I called the agency again and I was told on the phone that the new fare for the return amounted TO U$ 2,600!!! I insisted on verification because the cost was undeniable highly abusive, completely disproportionate to the market conditions and my situation. That horrendous price was reconfirmed by the Travelocity agent. What can we do to stop this usual abusive practices!! I have flown at least 80 times and I do not have a good opinion about theses travel businesses. I will dispute the credit card charge of U300 that I already paid for nothing!! The agency and airline (?) made impossible the flight back that I have already paid TWICE!!! I appreciate to have had the opportunity to let someone know about some of the mistreatments a customer receives.

    I reserved a room for my daughter and myself only to find out an hour later she had made a reservation also. I call immediately to cancel my reservation only to find out that my credit card had been charged the full amount of the room for two nights. I was told that I could not cancel. I called my credit card company and informed them to dispute the charges and called the hotel back. They denied charging my account and said that Travelocity had charged the card. It will be 3 days before I get a refund on the $300. Very bad business practice. They should be out of business!!!

    I used Travelocity to booked an hotel room for a trip to Toronto, Canada. Everything was fine before I checked my credit card balance. Travelocity charged my hotel room in US dollar without any notice. On their site, my room was in Canadian dollar and I live in Canada so I couldn't see why they would charge in US dollar. It turns out that they have an American site and a Canadian site. I see that if I pay on an American site I will pay with American money, but they didn't write the amount in US dollar. It's really frustrating to come back from your trip to see that you paid 70$ more than you were suppose to pay. I'm so disappointed.

    I purchased airline tickets plus hotel at Travelocity.com. At checkout, my card got declined. When I called my bank, they explained to me that my card got declined because of a spending limit up to $2500; as my purchase was approx. $3400, my card did not go through and got declined. However, Travelocity took $1798 from my bank account. When we contacted them, they were willing to cancel this transaction and release the money back to us but they said we need to wait 48 hours.

    My complaint is: if my card does not have funds or if my bank puts a spending limit, and at checkout, it gets declined, why would you take $1798 from my account? For 48 hours, with $1798 missing from my account (in limbo), I was not able any longer to purchase tickets and make travel arrangements, and lost my reservation too. No companies should take and/or withhold money from someone's bank account if the purchase got declined. It is technically wrong and illegal whether due to their faulty checkout process and/or incompetence. They would not work out any solutions. I just got screwed.

    Cancelled one of my trips which I received airline credits from ANA. Booked my new flight to Japan with a representative, they had to call ANA directly in order to book my ticket using my credits. All went great, paid the $290 rebooking fee and was told by the representative that she sent a confirmation twice, and to give it some time as email may be slow to process.

    About a week or so go by and still haven't received a confirmation, decided to call Travelocity again to get an itinerary and after a few hours, they successfully contact ANA for an itinerary to send to me but I noticed that my middle name was misspelled. The agent told me to contact ANA directly and gave me the number. I contacted ANA directly and was told that Travelocity will have to be the one to contact them directly. I contacted Travelocity again and after a while of explaining to the agent that they have to call ANA and that my itinerary won't pull up on Travelocity, she finally contacts the ANA directly. 1.15 hours on hold, she finally returns and states that she will be transferring my call to her supervisor.

    Supervisor works on the situation and calls ANA. 2.05 hours into the call, supervisor states that the ANA rep and United (ANA is operated by United) states that they cannot do anything at this time and will have to contact the customer specialties department to get my name changed once they open back up in the morning. Supervisor says that she will call me back tomorrow after calling customer service. 2.20 hours wasted with no resolution. Will never fly ANA/United and will probably never use Travelocity again.

    We reserved a rental car through Travelocity, and for some reasons decided to buy the insurance through them (270 ish CAN$/2 weeks). The contract we signed with Travelocity specifies that the rental location is open 24 hours, which is quite important when you pick-up a car right after flying, as delays occur. When we got to the Entreprise location at about 2:45 (our flight was slightly delayed), it turns out that the concerned Enterprise location was closing at 2:00. Indeed, having had known, we would have chosen another location for renting a car. Clearly, the contract we signed contained a mistake that mislead us.

    After taking an 80 USD$ taxi to our accommodation, I immediately called Travelocity Customer Service with the view of arranging for another (accurate) rental contract at the same rate, or if impossible to get a full refund for the car insurance that was then obsolete. I did not know I was up for up to 4 hours of useless, highly frustrating and actually blatantly dishonest phone conversations. Call 1: about 45 minutes, being on hold for most of it while customer agent talks to supervisor. The line cuts (on Travelocity's side). No one calls me back. Indeed, when I call back, it is impossible to find again the first person I talked to. Had to start from scratch.

    Call 2: a bit over an hour. After about 45 minutes ish, the representative puts me on hold supposedly "to arrange things" with Enterprise. Comes back to me after 30 minutes saying we can pick-up our car the next day, same location same price. I was happy, until I called the Enterprise location to confirm our reservation. It turns out that there are none. In fact, I called the general Enterprise number, and no one seem to have any trace of a reservation under my husband or my name, and never heard about Travelocity. I still have a hard time believing it, but I can only conclude that the Travelocity representative lied to us. Call 3: Faced with the evidence that first responders are either useless if not blatantly dishonest, I ask to speak with the employee's manager. The manager assesses the issue, puts me on hold for a little while to announce to me that they will reimburse the cost of the insurance we paid.

    I calmed down a little: it is the least I could expect. Then I spent more an hour-and-a-half on hold while he is supposedly trying to reach the billing department. The manager finally comes back to the phone to tell me that - prepare yourself, it is unbelievable - they are resetting their system and cannot process to the reimbursement. Sure. I am a complete idiot. The best he can do is to offer a coupon at Travelocity. Surely, we would be glad to spend more money with them after throwing 270$ in the garbage for the car insurance that has no object. We are lucky people, we can suck up the 270$. However, I will never deal again with a company that trains their customer support people to lie and waste people time to save a buck. Travelocity is dishonest and disrespectful of their consumer.

    I would give negative stars if I could. About a month & a half ago, booked a round trip to Miami w/ my husband on American Airlines, thru Travelocity. A few days later, we decided to add a few days to the trip, change our depart date from home. Spoke to customer service & was told I would have to pay $200/ flight to cancel & pick a new departure date (from home) & pay the difference. WTF. So, we went back online & booked a one way/ each, for the day we wanted to leave. American Airlines would not have lost a penny, we still had every intention on paying for a flight we were not going to be on. Our new Delta flight could not have been more enjoyable. Landed in Miami, had the time of our lives. Went to check into our American Airlines return flight home & it was cancelled. Not only had American cancelled our flight home to our kids, but Travelocity didn't notify us.

    Cost us another $1,110 to get home, found open seats on Delta, again, fabulous flight, last minute. The only thing Travelocity did was offer me & my husband an American Airlines voucher for the amount we paid for our round trips + plus $200 rebooking fee/ each to Miami to be used by June 2018. That still didn't make up from the $1,110 we paid just to get home, like no, I want my money back. & no, I don't want to go back to Miami. What a crappy way to end the best vacation ever. We get home and I contact Travelocity and they "could not", would not refund my money. They said the best they could do again, was the voucher and because I didn't want that, they suggested I contact American Airlines. I went to their website & in order to receive a monetary refund, you submit all your documentation to a Review Committee & they may or may not contact you in 7-10 business days to inform you of their decision. Again, no.

    I called my bank, PNC, & filed a Dispute Claim, then received an immediate credit for the amount I paid for the first round trip (for my husband + myself) I booked from Travelocity. I just have to go into the local branch to fill out the paper work. THANK GOD, FINALLY SOMETHING! & when you think about it, my husband & I were lucky we had the $1,110 in our account to book that flight home, because that silly good for nothing voucher would not have been enough to get us to our kids. Some people don't have that, so what would we have done then? I mean, we are hard working people and we do not have money to throw away like that. What did we learn here today, folks? Travelocity Sucks. DELTA ROCKS. American Airlines Sucks. DELTA ROCKS. PNC ROCKS. NEVER AGAIN, Travelocity and American, shame on you for taking peoples money and leaving them high & dry.

    I reserved my flight in the beginning of March 2017 with Travelocity for my trip from Newburgh, NY airport to Portland, Oregon. I printed my itinerary and I also received two texts prior to my flight stating the same info as my itinerary. I received a third text the day of my flight with same info. I arrived at the airport two hours before my flight and they told me that the flight left about a half hour ago. Apparently American Airlines, about eight to ten weeks, changed the flight times for this flight. They asked me who booked me and I told them it was through Travelocity. The airlines said they have been getting many customers who booked through Travelocity and none of them were informed of flight time changes. She called someone at the airport to report that it was yet "another Travelocity" customer that missed their flight through Travelocity error.

    The airline booked me for another flight at another airport that was two hours away. I would have had to take a cab but thank goodness I had someone drive me to the airport and they said they would take me. An older gentleman, in a wheelchair, was in line before me and it turns out he also was a victim of Travelocity. I could see his itinerary in hand and he was frightened and angered at the same time. American Airlines took good care of him and made sure he would be taken care of and got him in cab for a ride to his airport. I just couldn't believe that they are able to get away with treating people in such a way. I paid for their service and they did nothing for it and they still get to keep their money.

I would advise any potential traveler to go to the Tamarack Lodge website at www.tamaracklodgeatbearvalley.com and book directly online, not through Travelocity. Meanwhile Travelocity should be held responsible for lost bookings at Tamarack Lodge as a result of their false information.

I spoke to a supervisor at Travelocity who said she would personally address the problem and that I would get my money back, she would call me back tomorrow, etc. Heard nothing for a week, then I called again. This time I got an email stating they advocated for me but because it was a special graduation weekend, the hotel (Springhill) denied the refund.

    Eventually I spoke to the right person at the hotel who said it was supposed to be a nonrefundable room, but they would credit my charge card "this time", which they did. Yay! Several weeks later I got another email, from Expedia this time, saying they were still working on it??? Then came the email again saying they advocated for me but the hotel denied the refund. "Thank you for choosing Expedia." The main reasons I can no longer use Travelocity/Expedia are: 1. Their information is not reliable. 2. They don't stand behind their published information.

    So I attempted to book a DIRECT round trip flight from Phoenix to Denver this morning (res # **). I made the mistake of using a Travelocity "bargain fare," which apparently means there is no recourse ever, even though I paid $19 extra for trip cancellation insurance. At no point in time was I told that this might involve one or two connections, because had I seen that in the three pages of eight point font disclaimers, I would not have purchased the fare. It's not like this bargain was all that great. I saved $40 at most over a standard fare. I don't do connecting flights, period. I don't like flying to begin with as I'm not a small guy, and then on top of that, to have two landing and take-off cycles over four hours is hard on me. I could file a claim through the insurance but I prefer not to lie to them about being sick to get my money back.

    I wasted nearly an hour on the phone talking to Travelocity's customer service staff, which was like talking to a wall. In fact, Donald Trump called, and he wants to hire Travelocity customer service people to be that wall. So now my entire trip is ruined. I'm not going to be on a connecting flight through Salt Lake City, which is nowhere near Denver or Phoenix. This will be the last $200 I ever spend on Travelocity. I hope they like the funds.

We only wanted to delay his return for 2 days. We were willing to pay the change fees, etc. The airlines told us we needed Travelocity to request a medical delay and they would honor it.

    Travelocity would not do it. Hanging up on our son's wife 3 times, and commenting, "If he's well enough to be released from the hospital, he's well enough to fly." I couldn't believe it. Instead Travelocity proposed he buy 2 new one way tickets that cost much more than the R/T tickets he originally purchased. I urge all of you to NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

    Make sure you know EXACTLY what you want. I booked some flights that turned out to be the wrong times so I had to re-book them. First of all, their instructions for changing or cancelling flights are crap. They're the same as Expedia's except their web layout is different and doesn't offer a Manage Bookings button which it tells you to click on. Basically you have to go to the airline's actual website and go through their cancellation policies which ends up costing you an extra $200 per flight to change! Also, you don't get a cash refund, you only get flight change credit... so you can only re-book your flight with the airline you cancel under.

    This is a COMPLETELY different experience from Expedia who cancels your flights in the click of a button, easily, with easy directions, and gives you full cash credit within 53 hours of booking. Therefore, you can re-book whatever you want with the same amount of cash you had in your pocket; you don't have to go to the airline's websites and deal with their policies, Expedia does it all for you.

    Their "Flight Cancellation Plan" is not what you think it is and is a pain in the ass to go through. Their "protection" only covers a very specific set events specifically death, injury, or sickness occurring prior to the trip that required a physician's treatment. It's not prorated based on booking and for the cost of it, you would think it would cover a lot more things besides a few rare occurrences of someone you know dying or fluke chance of injury/sickness prior to your flight. It's also not an automated process and they don't make it easy to file your claim. It will require physician's receipt, death certificate, police report, or what proof is applicable to your reason. For most people this cancellation protection plan won't help them and chances are it will just stack on top of whatever cancellation fees the airline has. It's a very deceptive practice and not accurately represented at all by their customer service team.

Went to my destination and at check in was informed my bathroom had handicap access (I'm not handicapped), room looked somewhat worn. I flew back into another airport from which I left, my itinerary only stated the city of the airport so you would assume you would be flying back to the one that you left. I was originally placed on hold for an hour and a half on and off trying to change my flight which never happened!!! Buyer beware. DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THIS WEBSITE!!!

    I took a great deal of time trying to book flights for my family. I chose seats and went to book. I called my bank to make sure there was plenty of funds available for this booking. Almost 2 hours later, Michael (who works for Travelocity) was clueless and could not understand why the booking was not going through. He wanted me to start all over! I was not about to stay on the phone for another hour so that he can redo everything that I just did myself! I made sure that they were not holding funds for my trip via my bank and will now book directly through an airline. What a **!

    I used Travelocity to book an airline reservation and also to rent a car. When I checked my American Express bill I noticed they had double charged my Credit card $330 for the car rental. It is extremely difficult to get a live person on the phone at Travelocity. They do not have their phone number on their web site. I checked many other places for their number and when I called, I received a recording that said this is no longer a working number.

    After one hour I was able to get a woman on the phone who barely spoke English. I had to ask her to repeat herself many times. She was in one word NASTY! The only answer she could give me was something she was reading off of a sheet. She kept saying that on the next statement from American Express I should receive my credit of $330. I went online and say 100s and 100s of complaints from consumers that they are guilty of the same thing. Double charging and then holding on to the $ for as long as possible. I will never, ever use Travelocity again. There is no savings and they are impossible to deal with and have nasty men & woman handling their complaints who can barely speak English.

    I planned my vacations since last December, I got several activities. Everything was going perfect until we got to Cancun. #1 Hotel Kin Mayab - we got rooms 2nd floor. No elevators. Well we put up with it, no other option. The swimming pool was closed for restoration so we were disappointed. Besides that hotel is okay for your $$$. #2 The tour to Chichen Itza was a nightmare. The driver had no clue he was driving in circles by the hotel zone. The van was in bad shape. REALLY BAD AC. We were picked up @11:30 am. We got to where the Cenote @Restaurant at 4 pm. The guy said that Cenote was not included which it was, anyway we went to the Cenote (4 persons). When we got to parking lot he was gone. He came back saying that we were not going to be able to go to the guided walking tour. We did, we stayed for the light and sound that finished around 9:30 pm, by 9:40 we were in the way back.

    We got to our hotel after 2:00 AM dead tired and top it off the driver named Alfredo took us to a store before reaching our destination. He missed the exit and he just went back in REVERSE. That was very scary and "STUPID." He said we had 20 minutes. It was really hot. We all got back into the van waiting for him. For us it was unnecessary stop. Wasted time from our trip. The guy didn't speak any English, lucky for him and others I helped him to communicate. #3 - The following day which was June 8 we went to Jolly Roger Pirate Show and they said that our reservation was canceled. We could not do anything because they told us the ship was rented to a group and we cannot go that we could reschedule but that was our last night from the trip. So once again nothing you can do there. SO ALL I WANT IS MY MONEY TO BE REFUNDED.

    Prior to online purchasing a flight from Denver to Vancouver, I read next to the "Purchase" button that I would be able to cancel for free and receive a full refund if I cancelled within 24 hours of my purchase. Upon reading that statement, I went ahead and purchased the ticket feeling secure I could cancel my tickets and receive a full refund. Three minutes after clicking "purchase" I wanted to cancel, so I submitted my phone number to their online customer service center so that they would call me when a representative was available. They promptly called me. The representative on the phone argued that the particular fare I purchased was non-refundable. He put me on hold two times to check with his superiors, but was unable to issue a refund. He put me in touch with someone else so that I could be sure. She also stated they could not issue me a refund. Travelocity falsely advertised a "free cancellation" on my airfare.

I say no there isn't I have the paperwork here that says I have till 6 pm. Sebastian ** from Travelocity argues with me for 20 mins that it's after 6 pm... He is in India! It's 4 pm here!!

He leaves me on hold for 20 mins then comes back and says he can cancel my reservation after we review the details... WHAT! The details are canceled!

    I canceled a flight in June 2016 and was sent an email by Travelocity giving clear instructions. "Per your request, your flight is canceled. You have a credit of $2,652.80 USD with Cathay Pacific. A $200.00 USD penalty will be applied at the time of credit redemption. Your airline credit expires 6/6/2017. To redeem your credit, you must book your travel by calling Travelocity by 6/6/2017. Use of this credit must abide by the fare rules of the original booking."

    I spent 6 hours and 30 minutes with a variety of friendly and apologetic employees who offered a variety of explanations and possibilities that all came to nothing. I talked to two supervisors who both had very different perspectives on what should be happening. With one I spent 20 minutes giving detailed flight information about bookings he was supposedly making for me. The phone suddenly disconnected and despite having my phone number, I was given no courtesy call-back.

    Eventually I asked to speak to a manager and a Mr. Renee ** in the Corporate Sector based in Las Vegas Nevada proceeded to tell me that I was dealing with the wrong company. I told him I had received an email from Travelocity the year before outlining what I had to do to reclaim the credit. He said that he could see all emails sent to my email address and that there was no such email. I sent a copy of it to their customer support address but they claimed they did not receive it. He stated (After I had spent 6 and a half hours with the employees) that there must be another company involved and to go to them for resolution.

    I have been in business dealing with clients for over 40 years and I would have been ashamed to have dealt with this problem in such a cavalier dismissive way. Travelocity has issues with data retrieval, employee (Especially administrative) training and corporate integrity. I highly recommend that you seek an alternate company that hopefully will stand by its written word, not unsubtly imply client dishonesty, and one that will seek to enhance your travel experience. I am 65 years old and lived and worked in many countries. I have never been so taken aback by such incompetence and ill-will from a manager of a retail company. Take your money somewhere else.

    I used Travelocity thinking it would save me money. I booked a local car rental and when going through the booking it asked if I wanted the car insurance - $10 a day. I added it to my rental request which looked like the third party Payless Rental and when I got to the car rental location the clerk asked if I wanted insurance. I told them that I already had added it to my rental request and as I was walking out realized that the insurance was $17 not $10- I paid it and have the car for one day instead of the original 5 as my mechanic was able to get parts and fix my car in one day. I returned the car and was refunded for the 4 days that I did not use the car.

    Called Travelocity to get my money back as they charged me for the 5 days ahead of time. When speaking to customer service for refund they said that it was not refundable as insurance can not be refunded. It is not a refund on insurance - it was a service that was not used and I was not asking because I paid again at the car rental location - I just wanted the 4 days refund that I did not use.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor and when I was explaining that I just wanted the refund for the 4 days that I did not use the car - she told me that the reason I paid twice was that the insurance they offer just covers the car and the rental company may not accept the insurance that Travelocity offers. I explained that after reading everything on ConsumerAffairs website and the fact that the booking system is misleading, and many have not received refunds, in addition to her telling me that "the insurance we offer may not be acceptable to the car rental company" sounds like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.

    I booked a guaranteed reservation. I paid, by credit card, for the three days. My understanding of a fully paid reservation is that I have reserved and bought that room for the entire period that I paid for. When my son did not arrive on the first night, the hotel gave away the room. They took three nights payment, but re-booked the room? What value is a guaranteed reservation and why would one pay in advance if it has no meaning or value? Travelocity wants to credit back two night and keep one night? Why? They resold my room. I should not have to pay for any nights, as, when my kids arrived, they had nowhere to stay. DO NOT USE TRAVELOCITY OR THE LA QUINTA HOTEL CHAIN.

    Do not EVER go through Travelocity. They are beyond terrible!!! My husband is in the military and has been gone for 3 months training to be deployed and his leave date changed. Well when I bought the ticket I made sure to get the insurance for that very reason. He called first to let them know and he was told it would be $294 but the insurance would pay the 200 and all we would have to pay is the 94. But to me if I pay for insurance for that very reason we shouldn't have to pay anything extra!! So, I call and they tell me it will be $300 dollars but I myself would have to call the insurance and see if they would cover anything. So, I call the insurance and come to find out they will not cover a single penny. They cover for jury duty, a sickness, if you get fired from a job, etc... but nothing to do with military.

    I am sorry but I don't just have 300 dollars laying around. (Not to mention this trip home is very important because I am pregnant with our first child together and this was the one and ONLY ultrasound he was going to be able to see.) Anyways, so I call them back and let them know that the insurance is no help at all. And he then looks up the flights and now tells me it will be $365 to change the ticket... so basically I pay the money or he doesn't come home until after he is deployed... Pissed. And the fact that when I bought the ticket I was told there would be no problems if this were to come up. And then we were told 3 different amounts of money is just ridiculous!! So word to the wise.

    Don't use Travelocity for any travel reservations. I did and lost $335... In February 2017, I contracted with Travelocity to rent a car in Fort Lauderdale for a week in April. Travelocity immediately charged my credit card for $334.93. This was my first surprise because I've never had to pay for a car reservation in advance. When I arrived at the Dollar Rent-a-Car counter at FLL, the desk attendant said it had no record of my reservation with Travelocity, despite my repeated claims. So, I was forced to initiate a new contract, knowing that Travelocity had already billed me for it. I just figured that it would be easy enough for me afterward to get a refund for the initial lost booking.

    When I got back from our trip, I emailed Travelocity to request a refund of the original charge, explaining that the car rental company had no record of the original reservation. Travelocity replied to my email request, saying that it was under review and that I would get a response about the credit within 48 hours. None came. After two billing cycles by Capital One, the credit from Travelocity still had not been applied. So, I called Capital One, and they graciously helped me contact Travelocity by phone. However, after two hours on a conference call with both Capital One and Travelocity, I got nowhere.

    To this date, I have not seen the $335 credit on either my Visa credit card or any check in the mail from Travelocity. When I made the original reservation with Travelocity, I felt confident that I'd be dealing with an honorable company. This wasn't the case; they are totally unresponsive. So, I will never ever again use Travelocity for any travel arrangements flight, car, hotel or other booking. By the way, Travelocity is a division of Expedia, which is based in Dallas, Texas. So, I also have filed a complaint against it with the Texas State Attorney General at texasattorneygeneral.gov and with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov. You may do the same.

    My Husband purchased 2RT first class tickets from Honolulu to Montreal in Feb '17. After being in Montreal for less than 48hrs, I had to fly home for a medical emergency. Travelocity agent #1 found 2 flights out of Montreal to Honolulu. Flight A had 2 stopovers; Denver & California and got into Honolulu 8 min before flight B which had 1 stopover in Chicago. I wanted flight B. Agent A said flight B was a better price with only 1 stop. I asked him what the price was, but he said he had to check with his supervisor. Agent #2 the supervisor Sheila asked me if my son was sick before we left, was he an only child, how many kids I had, what was wrong with him, and how old he was and was telling me what she does when her kids are sick-unprovoked by me.

    When she started being insistent on what flight would be best for me and not answering my price question, I realized she had just profiled me. She was insistent that I take flight A so I could be with my son sooner (8 minutes sooner). She said that flight A would be $386. I pressed for the price of flight B, she kept skirting the answer. My frustration rose over the course of 3hrs & trying to get the price of flight B. Finally, $1600 - flight change fees, etc and now the flight had 3 stops instead of 1, got in at the same time quoted earlier. She was terse as was I. I told her I needed time to think about it & could she hold for 30min while I thought about it. She gave me 10 min and would call me back instead. We called United and they charged me $200 and I got the same flight home in economy class.

    I believe Sheila profiled me, decided what was best for me, got irritated with me and found the most ridiculously expensive and inconvenient way to reach my destination. Something needs to be done about Travelocity's profiling, but I had to put all my energy into my son and spending my time waiting and arguing with Travelocity on their conduct is not worthy of my time.

    Made a "Blind Reservation" with Travelocity to travel from Raleigh Durham to LaGuardia Airport, New York - that is, I did not know what airline, what time or what type of ticket I was getting, which was all decided by Travelocity and was told the ticket would be Non-Refundable, UNLESS I paid $19 extra for "CANCELLATION INSURANCE", which I paid extra, thinking I will be refunded the money if the ticket was cancelled as I had not made my car rental yet. I found that most car rental places do not do business in New York City as the City cheats its guests by charging $100 a day in taxes (five times or more of the actual rental costs paid to the insurance company) for renting a car there and I could not rent a car from the airport, which is paying more than twice the cost of the airline ticket itself.

    After finding out that I could not rent a car, I tried to cancel the ticket in less than 24 hours, only to find out that the "CANCELLATION INSURANCE" offered by Travelocity is just a fraud, and "John" from Bangalore was trying to convince me that the Cancellation would be allowed only if I was sick or someone passed away in my immediate circle. It needs to be understood, that Travelocity chose what airline and what type of ticket. It should be THEIR responsibility not to buy a non-refundable ticket if they are charging the extra amount.

    I want you to know that Travelocity is trying to cheat their Customers by offering this wrongful insurance policy that is no good, and they and the insurance company AON Affinity together are fleecing their customers, who will never find out they paid the extra amount unless you try to cancel. If you do not try to cancel, you are paying them $19 extra for nothing. So, if they make 20 million reservations, they will make 38 million dollars for nothing, and if you tried to cancel and DISCOVER the fraud, then they refund your insurance amount while making some free money from the persons who do not attempt to cancel. THIS FRAUD should be widely known and do not buy the USELESS and FRAUDULENT INSURANCE from Travelocity, who it seems primarily are making money on this insurance, as the WEBSITE reminds you three times that if you do not buy the insurance you are risking the amount of the ticket.

    I booked a flight through Travelocity for June 2016. I cancelled it due to illness. I have a credit of approximately 476.00.

I understand this, no problem. The flight I want is approximately $386.00 so the difference is $110 which I would be responsible for.

    I was on the telephone for 4 hours trying to book a flight and spoke to two representatives, two supervisors and one manager. I was told the following: I must use the airline that the original flight was booked. "This is not a new booking so that you cannot book a flight at the price quoted on Travelocity. The flight you booked in June was a promotional cost so you cannot use the 476.00 - $200.00 toward a new flight. The flight you want is a promotional cost so you cannot use the $476-200 towards it. The price for the flight changes from minute to minute so it is not the same as you see right now." (During the hours I was on the phone, the flight price did not change on Travelocity's site or the airline's site). "Our prices are different in our system than is what is seen online. We can't honor the price listed online. Call the airline instead of us." (The airline says call Travelocity)

I feel like it has become a flim flam con artist, site designed to steal money rather than provide travel accommodations and despite talking on the phone with a rep for three hours he still screwed up our flights. I was sick in 2016 and wanted to file insurance but the agent convinced me he could help me without filing an

The end result was I spent an additional $200 in airline change fees; never received $400 in promised airline vouchers; lost the chance to file insurance and flew to Mexico in airline seats 10 rows from my companion. I had issues with seats and the only recourse was to call Travelocity and the speed and length of time the agents take to handle an issue because they talk to their supervisor or the airline makes it an all day affair and not worth the effort.

    While in Cozumel, I gave Travelocity one last opportunity and booked a rental car. Travelocity offered insurance protection on the rental car that was suppose to cover the need for collision etc and when I got to the Dollar/Thrifty rental car counter they wanted another $30 per day in insurance. They said the $55 I spent with Travelocity would not apply and they wanted to place a $5000 US hold on my credit card. The car was not the type or style that had been promoted on the Travelocity website and it was apparent Travelocity was selling something not available. I cancelled the car with Dollar/Thrifty and will never try them again. Guess what? Travelocity ignored my cancellation request and they still have my insurance payment which was just a way for them to get money. Eventually got a rental car through another agency without all the drama or charges, thank you Avis.

    The Fact that Travelocity only has a call in Customer Service without an email contact is a disturbing trend among companies that don't want to communicate with clients. Amazon, EBay and Travelocity have no method to contact their customer service except for making a phone call, waiting in line behind 10-20 other callers which discourages making changes or complaints. With the long list of consumer complaints, it is either time for a Class Action Suit or for the site to be shut down and stop scamming American travelers.

    Recently we booked through Travelocity for a 7-day trip to Holguin, Cuba and unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances and a work emergency we were forced to cancel or change our dates. After speaking to two different representatives we were told two completely different solutions. One stated that we could simply change our dates as long as we stuck with the same company - Travelocity and Sunwing - which we deemed very reasonable.

    When we called back two hours later when we had decided our changed dates and made sure there was availability to with our new vacation, we had a very unhelpful customer service representative. Everything that was told to us previously was suddenly unavailable. We were on hold more than we were on the phone, and every time we requested an explanation, she was unable to give us a valid excuse. Horrible customer service and experience all around. We will NEVER use Travelocity again. Worst experience. Terrible service. Zero understanding. As well as all around short and very rude.

    I booked a 6 night trip with Travelocity which included airfare, car rental and hotel. I kept reading really horrible reviews about first hotel I booked, so I contacted them to upgrade my hotel, of course they were right on that to help for more money. I ended up booking a hotel that was absolutely horrible and I paid $109 a night, and the front desk was quoting people $99 a night. I contacted Travelocity while on my trip so they could confirm the price on the hotel website. They emailed and said they would get back with me within 48 hours. Never heard from them, emailed again and no response at all.

    I went through Facebook chat (after I returned) and was told that it is live system and they get the quote at time of booking and I would not receive a refund for the difference even though the room was going for less. They do not want to help when you have problem, only when you want to pay more. I will never use Travelocity again, this was my first time. Also, stay away from the Days Inn and Suites in Tempe, Arizona on Elliott Street.

    I did the booking on-line in very early February for trip in June, and the only stipulation--outside of scheduling--I had was that I wanted to fly 1st Class. I even checked the seating arrangements on the flights I had chosen when I booked them. Cute little arrows pointing to the seats at the front of the plane. Yay! Was notified of an itinerary change. Made the call and was promptly responded to, well and good. The change was explained to me, also good. But the small print on my itinerary said that seating could change and needed to be confirmed. Also good. I was not concerned about seating numbers but I had booked 1st class seating for my wife and myself. No question, no quibbling. 1st Class. And paid for it up front.

    The 'nice' lady on the phone said, "Oh no, you did not. You booked 'business class'." I asserted I had not. I had searched for flights based on the wish to have first class seats. I had stipulated 1st class seating all through the booking process and had paid with the understanding that I was getting 1st class seating. I expected Travelocity to meet their contractual agreement with me, honestly.

    The trouble with on-line booking is--if it isn't spelled out on your itinerary--you have no leg to stand on. Despite checking seating on the flights I scheduled, nothing on my itinerary specified my travelling conditions. In hindsight, I should have dealt with a live, customer service person to make sure "1st Class" was stamped all over my itinerary! Good advice I wish I had known, but I am a person who does not like personal interactions--I like being able to live in the world without the need for unfamiliar personal contacts.

    The 'nice' lady assured me we could review the airline's availabilities etc, but it all came down to--the 1st Class seating, which I had honestly contracted for and already paid for was going to cost me more than the contracted amount. I will never do business with this deceitful, dissembling, misrepresenting company ever again, and I suggest no one else does either--especially if they are attempting to book premium, first class seating. My planned vacation to visit my ailing parents is no longer going to happen and Travelocity is to blame.

    So a few months ago I decided to book a cheap flight home. I'm on a budget and had to plan accordingly. I also bought the travel protection plan just in case. Fast forward to now, I unfortunately can't go on this trip. The flight is non refundable or non exchangeable. The reasoning for my cancellation and need for a refund or something of value. So I called twice, first time took about an hour on hold, only to be hung up on and the second time... exactly the same thing happened.

    So I decided to try online, and I didn't get a response until I called the company out on a public post. Pretty much they said that they can't do a thing for me, this was their policy and sucks to be you. After the bad customer service, constant hang-ups, that's what I get. My reasoning for cancellation doesn't fit the insurance reasoning but still put in for it. Doubt I'll get it but I'll see. Don't use this service, customer service downright is not worth it.

    I had booked a trip to Rome, Italy - my first vacation in 9 years!!! - through Travelocity, to fly via TAP Portugal. My oldest brother passed away several days before I was to take my trip, and I cancelled with Travelocity within 12 hours of being notified of his passing and specifically requested a full refund. Not only was the representative completely unsympathetic and unhelpful when I asked what the airline needed from me, she didn't issue me a refund - she issued me a full credit with the airline, promising someone would contact me RE: What next.

    Naturally I have other things to worry about - my brother's dead. Three weeks later, I think, gosh. Haven't heard from anybody about my refund. Better call. I call Travelocity - who send me to TAP Portugal. Who send me back to Travelocity. Travelocity tries to shuffle me back to TAP Portugal and I say, "Look - I've been passed between you two all afternoon, can you help me out?" The Travelocity agent puts me on a long hold and then comes back with a Case ID# and tells me to send my brothers' medical paperwork and obituary to a generic Travelocity email - okay, I think, I can do that. I get everything they requested, and more, and send it off. The rep had promised someone would contact me within 48-72 hours. So I wait. And I wait.

    8 days later, I call Travelocity again - they can't find my Case ID#. Great. More sitting on hold, them calling TAP, and - oh! They found my Case and the paperwork I sent. Cool. No one has looked at it yet, allegedly. But the Travelocity rep assures me that they will contact me within 48 hours... Again, nothing.

    After another week, I open a claim with my credit card company. This has been going on for almost two months at this point. I'm done.

    Credit card company contacts me (WOW, a company that actually follows through) a week later to let me know the status of my claim and that the Airline needs the paperwork I had sent to Travelocity nearly three weeks prior. Apparently because the original representative had failed to do as I asked, my money was with TAP Portugal the whole time. Rather than 1) Do what your customers ask you to do and 2) communicate to them what is needed from you in order to get the ball rolling, Travelocity has shuffled me around for nearly two months.

    This is hands down the worst customer service that I have ever had to deal with. And I quote my Credit Card rep (whose personal line and email address I have been provided until case resolution, also - talk about customer care!) "Oh, Travelocity... Yeah, I would advise avoiding them in the future." If you have a dispute with this company, try to contact them - get something in writing that you tried - and let your credit card company help you out. These people are truly impossible to deal with.

When I contacted Travelocity I was informed that in order to rebook on different available flights I would have to pay an additional amount totaling more than FOUR TIMES the original amount I had paid.

Only after arguing for over 30 minutes with different personnel at Travelocity did they agree to give me a refund. However, they refused to refund the travel insurance I had purchased for those Air Berlin tickets stating that it was not their policy to make such refunds.

    Fortunately my credit card company, Capital One, reimbursed me at their cost. I am fortunate that I have so excellent a credit card company. But it angers me that Travelocity can sell a product, then not deliver said product and still keep my money. I WILL NEVER DEAL WITH TRAVELOCITY AGAIN!!! They are simply thieves.

I tried to get him to explain what penalties but he could not clearly explain what those penalties were. On the day, this happened I had also booked 4 more tickets to get my grandkids out too and paid for trip insurance for them as well.

    Several years ago I had dental work done in San Jose and stayed at a modest, inexpensive hotel near the dental clinic and it was O.K - inexpensive but clean with a comfortable bed and adequate continental breakfast. About a year ago I needed to book a hotel near the clinic for myself and my son for further

    dental work and the Hemingway Inn was available and it was listed three star on Travelocity and the pictures appeared to be of a quaint and cozy inn.

    When we arrived my heart sank to see the old building was in poor condition - the sidewalk was demolished and we had to drag our bags and ourselves up a six foot long, eight inch wide plank to the steps to ring a bell for an iron gate to be opened - it took about five minutes to get the door open and we were offered no help. I had booked for ten days and they insisted in payment in advance. I am eighty years old and my son was in pain. Against all instincts I paid it. Before we left I asked for the remainder of our money - they said they would have to contact Travelocity and I stood by their computer while they were online with Travelocity and saw for myself that they were told and authorized to charge for two additional nights besides the two we were there.

    The mattresses were stained and dirty with no mattress covers, the tiny shower dribbled lukewarm water that wouldn't drain, spilling over onto the floor, the vanity bowl was cracked down the middle, part of the wiring cable ran down the wall and the only lighting was a fluorescent bulb with no covering in the ceiling and the beds were excruciating. There was a small reception area, almost always occupied by a sloppy man who appeared to be paying weekly to live in a small room behind the office and as I passed by the door was open and he and a woman were lying in bed, both naked and uncovered. And for all this, they charged me $60 per night - the same as the lovely hotel we moved to.

    Booking with this site is easy however the prices for the flights go up the more you look around on Travelocity and other sites (KAYAK, Expedia etc). This is incredibly frustrating and seems a bit devious. I don't know about any "extra" services they offered as compared to the other sites, they all seem about the same. There's an added pressure when you get pop ups saying "100 people booked flights for XYZ today" or "only 1 seat left" when there's not really only 1 seat left. Additionally, some flights don't show the seats left, so sometimes I'll pick out my flights and start making seat selections only to find out that my last flight won't let me choose my seats. This is frustrating as I have to sit next to my child for a flight that's going to take 9 hours. I would still recommend this site to anyone who needs to fly, they all work the same way and are all equally frustrating.

They point their finger at the trip insurance company, who absolutely will not do anything without a death certificate, copy of credit card statement, and all sorts of other documentation... And then based upon their review may or may not refund a portion of the amount paid. This trip protection is a SCAM!!! Don't plan on getting any money and/or credit from anyone if you waste your money.

    I rented a minivan on December 28, 2016 in Oklahoma City from the Travelocity website for a trip to Texas with my family. The website asked nothing about where we would be going nor did they give any clear information about out of state rentals. When I went to pick up the van they asked me where we would be going of which I told them Texas. The gentleman informed me that the rental would cost me $300 extra and I would no longer have unlimited miles. Of course, I was taken back. I asked about this and then told them I was not prepared for that much more and all the man and I assuming the owner could say was that it is clearly stated on the NU Car Rental website. I then let them know that I didn't rent from them but from Travelocity and they didn't budge.

    The email I received from Travelocity stated that "some geographical restrictions apply even if you have unlimited miles." This in no way says that if you take a rental out of state that you are charged extra. The rental company did offer to "help me out" on the extra cost. They "let" me have the van for $100 extra instead of the $300 extra. I couldn't pass it up since we had no other way of transportation for the amount of people going. I informed Travelocity of the situation. Of course, all they said is that they would pass the "feedback" on. I haven't heard from them since. I am highly disappointed in the fact that Travelocity didn't clearly state the difference in an in state rental and an out of state rental.

    The travel insurance covers nothing. Not the hotel which allowed up to 24 hours advance notification of cancellation anyway; not the airline = Jet Blue itself has a policy of giving credit for cancelled flights, and not even the change fee - Travelocity policy is that the rebooking has to be made at the same time that the flight is cancelled, not later. You are far better off booking directly with the airline and taking their insurance. The insurance is just a way of getting $100 extra profit.

    I booked a roundtrip flight for my wife and I scheduled to leave San Diego on 12/15/2016 to Austin. I also booked a hotel and car rental through Travelocity. When I got to the Virgin America counter on 12/15/16 I was told that my reservation was correct but that Travelocity had scheduled my wife for 12/16/16. I had to purchase another ticket so my wife could travel with me on 12/15/16. The extra ticket cost me an additional $448.60. Virgin America refunded me the original price that I paid through Travelocity which was $128.60 so I am out $320.00. I contacted Travelocity but "David" in the "Support Team" would not do anything about my situation. "David" said he could not even provide his last name. What a company! Travelocity has no positive customer relations. I will never use Travelocity again and I would urge everyone to use alternative companies that are truly professional and wish to have complete customer satisfaction.

    Using Travelocity to book Airline Tickets is not recommended unless you wish to be swindled. The site is set up in such a way that when you're near finishing making arrangements, there's a step where you cannot proceed unless YOU choose seats. This is the snag. It appears that you cannot finish, and have no choice without paying extra as much as $58.00 per ticket extra for "available seats." We were tired and anxious to book arrangements for family emergency travel. We tried to back up and go around this. It didn't seem right, but you are only presented with one opportunity with > a very inconspicuous check box prior, allowing the airline itself to choose your seats for you for free. A fellow traveler told us of how they had also been scammed previously. Even if it takes longer- BOOK DIRECTLY THRU THE AIRLINE! Shame! Don't let this happen to you!

    I canceled a flight within one hour of booking. I was charged $468.20 for the flight. I received an email from Travelocity saying that the amount would be returned to my original form of payment. When I call Travelocity, I am first told the $ was not ever taken out (not true, I have looked at bank statement), then told I need to go to the bank to get it resolved. I was also told I need to call the airlines. This makes no sense to me. I have my credit card # to them, the money was removed, now they are telling me I have to go somewhere else to fix it.

    I booked a flight reservation with Travelocity from my pc, at home in the Central Time Zone, at around 12:45 p.m. on yesterday, Nov. 30, 2016. Travelocity has a courtesy 24 hour cancellation policy that allows you to cancel until 12:59pm Pacific Time on the day AFTER you make the flight reservation. So, I should have had until 12:39pm tonight, Dec 1, to cancel. That time has not arrived yet. I started trying to cancel the reservation before 10pm last night, Nov 30. That was less than 24 hours after I made the reservation. Travelocity's web system would not let me cancel because they were "Bagged," saying that I should check back later or call.

    Believing that I had until 12:59pm tonight to cancel, I waited and tried online again to cancel this morning, just after 3am Central Time. I was told that Travelocity's system shows I made the reservation at 10:45pm Pacific Time on Nov 29, that their computer is on Pacific Time. Therefore, when I made the reservation on Nov 30 at 12:45 am Central Time, their system shows I made it 2 hours earlier because they are on Pacific Time, causing the reservation to show that it was made a day earlier, on Nov 29 instead of Nov 30. Therefore, they said I had to cancel by 12:59pm Pacific Time last night, Nov 30.

    No one at Travelocity tells customers in their cancellation policy that for cancellation purposes, the time you make your reservation is based on Pacific Time, rather than your actual time zone. It has taken me over an hour on the telephone talking to 3 different people and no one cares one bit that their cancellation policy is misleading and not fully explained to customers in advance.

    This problem of your reservation showing made a date earlier than you made it would only occur if you make the reservation in the early hours after midnight in your time zone before Pacific Time changes to the next day. I happen to think it is significant and misleading, however. Even the email confirmation I received regarding the reservation is marked 1:10 am on November 30, 2016. Note that nowhere on the reservation does Travelocity state what date I made the reservation. If the reservation had said Nov 29 instead of Nov 30, that is something I might have caught and made sure I cancelled by Nov 30.

When contacting Spirit Airlines, they offer credit vouchers which I have use within 60 days. Then what was the use of the travel protection package.

    I purchased the travel protection package insurance to avoid this kind of mishap.

    In December 2015 my daughter and I were to fly to Reno for a Christian women's conference. When I made my flight and hotel reservations through Travelocity I was healthy but when the time to travel came, I was under doctor's orders not to fly. I called Travelocity and they were unable to refund even a portion of my $567.00 airline money. They did refund my hotel money. BUT I could use some of the money for future travel within one year. They would keep some of the money but it was never clear to me why they could not refund all of the money except that I had not purchased traveler's insurance.

    Well in December 2016 I am taking a flight and when I checked the rates they were pretty high. Then I remembered, "oh yes, I have airline credits through Expedia". So I telephoned them and I had $497.00 but they would keep $125.00 for each of my airline tickets. Again I never understood why. But I thought $247.00 off of the tickets would be better than paying the full fare. After they booked the flight, the cost for two tickets was more than I would pay by purchasing two tickets myself without any airline credit from Expedia. So I did not book through Expedia but instead booked through the airline and saved money. Hence I have been cheated out of over $567.00. The $567.00 I paid originally for the airlines became $497.00 after they kept a portion of the money for whatever reason I do not know.

    Then when actually trying to use the $497.00 this amount was now only $247.00 because they needed $250.00 for some unknown reason ($125.00 per ticket they said). So in all I have lost $567.14. I wonder where my money went and who has it. Obviously they never paid for tickets I never used so someone somewhere has $567.14. Being old is difficult enough but being ripped off is inexcusable.

I replied the only option they offered is the one I purchased. I was told I would need to pay an additional $200 each way ($400) plus applicable change fees and tax, in other words, pay twice the price for the insured trip.

    I asked to at least be refunded for the insurance but was told they only refund insurance within 10 days of purchase. I calmly advised to rep I will never use Travelocity again.

I was credited the $590, although, I will be hit with the change fee when HE re-books. And although it was my credit card, only HE can re-book. I had insurance, but it covers nothing.

A angry woman finally came back on the line, not with Travelocity, but with Alaska airlines. The lady from Travelocity was gone. The angry woman from Alaska airlines asked me why I was on the phone. What am I supposed to tell her? I haven't any idea why she is on the phone. She told me that they have no records of my flight. If I have problems with that, I can call their business office in the morning. The only fact I see here is I am out $590, and I have a headache!

    In August 2016 I booked a flight and hotel with Travelocity to go to Hawaii. I was very excited and it only cost us 1400.00. FROM the very beginning the trip was horrible. I called Travelocity and upgraded my seat on plane as well... another 300.00. I get to the airport and they don't have my upgraded seats. They tell me I have to call Travelocity to figure out the problem. I end up sitting in seats that were not my upgrade and separated from my friend for a 6 hour flight. Then I get to the hotel in Hawaii and it's nothing like the pictures they show on travelocity. It's gross, dirty, sheets are filthy dirty and I look down and there are bugs crawling on my suitcase. I'm there maybe 5 mins. I go down stairs and tell them I'm not staying. They tell me I have to call travelocity.

    I sit on hold for over an hour in the pouring rain just for them to tell me I still have to pay for one night at the hotel. They tell me they will only give me 477 back (only ended up giving me 417 back). Finally I say fine could they please help me find another hotel. He looks and comes back to tell me he can't help me. I finally get a ride back to the airport where I search for hours to find a hotel under 500 dollars a night. All rooms are full in that area. I finally rent a car and sleep in the car and finally end up finding a room an hour away for 269 a night. Mind you I thought my trip was paid for so I had very little money with me. I ended up with no money and spent my entire vacation in a hotel room with no money for gas or food. Luckily the hotel served breakfast. I work very hard and have very little money. I saved up for an entire year for this trip just to come back in debt and extremely stressed out. I will never ever use Travelocity again.

    First, I am or I should say was a long time customer of Travelocity until now. My wife and I booked a flight & hotel which I always do and wanted to change from economy to Business class due to the length of the flight. My call to Travelocity was from Germany and I had to call twice both times well over extended hold times once I started speaking to an agent. I also called the airlines because the first agent told me their system was not working correct and the airlines could make the change. In addition this same agent told me I could not get the same return flight. Now, after twice calling the airlines they explained Travelocity could make the changes and both original flights were available.

    So, I called Travelocity again explained what I had found out. Was put on hold again only to get the story that their system was not working properly. What really is funny the agent wanted me to remain on hold until they fixed the problem. What!!! Have decided to a better way to go from here on. I do not recommend and here is Travelocity's policy word for word and they tried to deny it: "We understand that sometimes plans change. We do not charge a cancel or change fee. When the airline charges such fees in accordance with its own policies, the cost will be passed on to you".

    I rented a car through Travelocity from Thrifty for 4 days in Phoenix for $265 prepaid. When I arrive to pick up the car I was told that I did not have the mandatory insurance included in the price and was charged an extra $200. I enquired about my own insurance or credit card and was told that they do not accept my insurance coverage.

    When I called Travelocity, I was told that I had declined my coverage which was incorrect since I spoke to an agent during my booking and he never mentioned that I will be paying for extra insurance. I had the issue escalated all the way to the manager and was told that I could have refused the rental and get my money back if I didn't want to pay the extra. I find this a great insult when I had already paid for the car and there was no way I was sure of getting my money back from them. NEVER, NEVER do any bookings with Travelocity.

    A flight we had booked in May 2016 was canceled in Oct 2016. Our originally booked Non-Stop flights on Dec 24th, 2016, were changed to flights with layovers. No credit or discount was offered for the change and the alternative flights. We were given added 2-3 hrs per flight (to & from) to our trip. Additionally we looked online and FOUND FLIGHTS with either shorter layovers OR Non-Stop options from the same carrier and yet Travelocity gave us no help in trying to reschedule to those options. We canceled our reservations with Travelocity and re-booked ourselves. Thanks to the short time frame between booking a new flight and our travel dates (booking in Oct to fly over Christmas - Thx for Nothing Travelocity!) due to the late notification, the trip ended up costing us an additional $400 dollars per ticket.

    So what was the point of booking with Travelocity? They offered nothing to the process except I may have saved $50 bucks TOTAL on the original booking rather than booking myself through the actual airline. I will never use Travelocity again AND I have already started Telling Friends Not To Use Travelocity! There is simply No Benefit to their service! They do nothing to help YOU!

    This is the ACTUAL reply I got from them. They Are Worthless! Nothing about helping me to reschedule even though I paid for their flight insurance. What a useless service (if you can even call it that...) Travelocity provides. Even their email is crappy as it comes in simple text format that doesn't even word wrap! Not surprising considering their overseas call centers are USELESS!

    "Thank you for contacting Travelocity regarding your concern. We apologize for any inconvenience you’ve experienced as a result of the changes the airline made to your flight schedule.

    Back in Feb 2016 I booked a trip to Jamaica through Travelocity for myself & my daughter. We ended up using American Airlines as our travel airline for this trip. I purchased the trip insurance offered through Travelocity @ checkout because I wanted to be sure that I was covered in all areas in case something happened. Booking a trip 8 months in advance, anything could happen. Who would have thought one of the most powerful hurricanes in recorded history would hit the DAY we were supposed to leave for Jamaica.

    I thought, no problem, I purchased trip insurance for just this purpose, so we would be covered for whatever might come our way, thank God for trip insurance, I’m so glad I bought that!!! But we weren’t. The insurance didn’t cover natural disasters, American Airlines wasn’t cancelling ANY of their flights unless the airport itself was shut down, & MBJ, the one I was flying into, did not. Travelocity wasn’t offering any help either, after hours upon hours over a course of days and more hours on the phone trying to get some resolution, they could not help me. The Ins they provided, AON Ins, didn’t cover this, DID NOT COVER a natural disaster, so they could not help me.

    American Airlines was only offering their customers the option to re-book their trip but ONLY if you traveled w/in 5 days. They were giving people 5 days to reschedule their trips to travel to a location that more than likely would not even be functioning yet, not to mention the flooding, power outages, water shortage, food shortage… devastation in some parts I’m sure. This wasn’t/isn’t feasible for me, not for my work schedule, not for the Villa I had booked for lodging in Jamaica, after all, a CAT 4 hurricane had just barreled down on this poor defenseless island but how many others weren’t able to be “accommodated”.

    After re-booking twice due to AA’s policy, I was supposed to fly out this morning @ 6 am. I was on the phone with Travelocity for more than 2 hours, 4 am-630 am, trying to get someone to help me, hear me, make an exception! I didn’t want my money back, I just wanted to be able to travel when it was going to be safer & when I was able to be accommodated with my work & my lodging.

    Two weeks, that was all I wanted. However, if I was to do that, I was going to have to cancel today's flight, re-book the new flight, pay the entire fee for that flight, plus a $200 PP change fee for changing my flight outside the “allotted” time period AA was giving its customers, book a whole new return flight & pay for that entirely out of pocket AND none of what I had already paid for my original flight was going to be transferred over or credited towards my “new” travel arrangements. This trip was going to cost me almost $3000 from a mere $980 back in Feb. unless I wanted to cancel, then I would get a voucher for ONLY my return flight amount, and be subjected to a cancellation fee!!! NO, I don’t want a voucher, I don’t ever want to travel or do business with either of your companies again. I could go on - but it's just more of the same as above.

I went straight to airline and found the ticket cheaper at a better flight which I actually get the seat I want.

    I happened to look at my credit card statement a week later and they charged insurance I didn't know I bought and some stupid $14 transaction fee for being a idiot using Travelocity... They refunded my insurance and then offered a "credit" of $20 for my next flight but no refunds on the transaction fee. So $20 - another $14 transaction fee, $6 is not relief. I just wanted my $14 back. Asked for a supervisor. they said, "oh I'm sorry they just closed. You have to call back another day." The "velocity" I will be running to buy another ticket on this site is a flat 0 miles an hour,. Never again. I will refute the $14 with my credit card company. Is it worth $14? It's worth a lot more just doing it. Using Travelocity to see what they have AND THEN GO TO THE AIRLINE and purchase.

    I recently booked a trip through Travelocity for $336 which I thought was a very good price. This price included my air and hotel for a 2 night stay. Unfortunately, the additional airline fees and taxes were not disclosed to me on the Travelocity website. The $336 was listed as the TOTAL price. After I entered my credit card information and confirmed my reservation, I received an e-mail from Frontier Airlines that was $150 higher than what Travelocity stated was my "final price". My final price ended up being closer to $500. Had I known this, I would not have booked the trip.

    I called Travelocity and they claim there is nothing they can do about the Airline fees & taxes. How about disclosing these fees and taxes to your customers, so they are not mislead into purchasing trips from you and then overcharged on the back end? I then called Frontier and was informed that the $150 in taxes and fees does not even cover baggage fees. What a rip off. DO NOT book with Travelocity and if you do, don't book both your hotel AND airfare with them, as they don't stand behind their quoted prices. So disappointed.

    I usually don't waste energy complaining but this time, even if I will spend as less energy as possible on this company Travelocity who made me already lose too much time and money I prefer to warn any potential customer: DON'T BOOK WITH THEM. I booked a return ticket that was refundable (with a deductible) in case I don't use the return BUT a few days after I bought it, the first flight was changed (which I accepted) and then they started to change the return date as well. As that new date could fit, I asked for the rerun which became impossible. Instead of telling directly, every time I called I was transferred to a few people, put "on hold" more than 2 hours sometimes, with promise to call me back within 48h which they never did. I have lost the value of the return ticket by now as despite my follow ups, the same scenario happened every time I called. Better pay a little extra when you book a ticket and to be on the safe side. What a scam!

    I bought an airline ticket for a good price from Travelocity and was happy to purchase it online. During checkout, though, it automatically charged me to choose a seat, even though there wasn't any indication on the site that I would be charged. I tried to undo this seat selection to no avail. I purchased the ticket, even with the $9 charge, and then called customer service to see if they could cancel the seat and cancel the fee. After an hour and a half ordeal, in which I tried to explain multiple times that I just wanted to cancel my flight and go through another airline, my ticket was finally cancelled. The customer service representative called me several times, even after I explicitly told her not to contact me. This was a terrible experience. I will use the airline websites from now on to book flights. It actually ended up being cheaper just to go that route!

    I booked a flight with Travelocity!! Filled in my name in the Travelocity form exactly without any spelling mistake, and in the same order as it is in my passport. "Claudio von **". I'm 62, I know how to write my name, I pay attention to details. Special Note: I have a title from Europe "von" before my last name. Since I fly a lot I learned out of the experience that computers, especially American ones, never know what to do or where to put this little "von" title. Sometimes they miss it altogether, and often they write it all together in one word with my last name, that's obviously incorrect, as it is not written like this in my passport. To avoid this writing it together I purposefully filled it in this order.... name: Claudio, middle name: von, last name: **.

    When I received my Travelocity booking confirmation with an email it said exactly this: "Traveler information: Mr CLAUDIO von **. Your reservation is booked and confirmed. There is no need to call us to reconfirm this reservation." By reading it, I saw all was written correctly. Now here is what happened. When Travelocity transferred the information to the airline computer they inverted the order of my name writing it: **/Claudio Von. Arriving at the LAX airlines counter 2 hrs before departure Hawaiian Airlines didn't allow me to board if the name didn't match exactly my passport. So I called immediately Travelocity.

    After long waiting and listening to music they transferred me to Travelocity customer service in Philipines who had no clue what to do, not even the Travelocity supervisor, then next call went to India, next to Central America, next to Las Vegas, Travelocity supervisors ping-ponged me around, and let me hang on the phone for 1 1/2 hrs not resolving anything, until I lost the last boarding chance and my booked flight left. By doing so they informed me I also lost my connection flights in Australia and my return flight 23 days later from Australia back to the USA!! After being stranded in LAX it took me very shameful 12 hrs on my iPhone with Travelocity's customer service, up to 6 PM!! Finally exhausted and reaching no resolution I had to buy, and pay myself a new ticket to Australia if I ever wanted to get there.

    Travelocity offered an Airline voucher to use in one year written out on the same just proved "unusable" inverted name: **/Claudio Von. Unbelievable!!! Claiming that is the airline's policy. The own employees on the phone told me, yes the policy stinks! Outraged I can only say Travelocity's customer service STINKS very big time! Surprise: Now my new ticket I had to buy myself to Australia reads Last name: believe it or not: Von**... again written wrong by their own computer glitch but they say it will be no problem. Where is ignorance and where is fairness here? And a just and honest treatment to the consumer? To complete the insult I had purchased the Travelocity ticket and paid also the extra amount for the travel insurance they add at the end of the bill. They told me it's not claimable in this case!!

    I booked a flight for my husband and I to attend our son's Veterinary School White Coat Ceremony four months ahead of time. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 5pm on a Thursday. We arrived to the airport at 2:30pm. When we tried checking in, the agent couldn't find our reservation. I gave him the confirmation that I had printed out. Upon checking the flight number, the agent informed us that the flight actually was leaving at 3:20pm and it was too late for us to catch that flight. No other flights were leaving for our destination that day. The next day's flights were booked. The next flight that they could get us on would be on Sunday, too late for us to attend the ceremony. We were devastated.

    We requested help from the airline's supervisor. When we asked why we weren't notified of the time change, she replied that because we made our reservations through Travelocity, it was their responsibility as our Travel Agent to notify us of any changes. Had we made our reservation directly with the airline, we would have been notified of the change. She was able to get us on the flight, but we were not able to check in our baggage as the flight had already boarded and the system would not allow us to check them in. They could not put our baggage on a later flight because according to regulations, we have to fly with our bags.

    We didn't have time to go back to our car to leave the bags there as we barely had enough time to make it to the gate, so we had to pay to leave them at the airport's baggage storage. We had a choice, leave our bags and make the flight or not go at all. It was more important to my husband and I to make it to our son's ceremony. Getting into Vet School is difficult, and we weren't going to miss this important event in our son's life. Thankfully, the people standing in line waiting to get through security were kind enough to let us go ahead of them. We made the flight by the skin of our teeth. Travelocity's failure to inform us of changes ended up costing us several hundred dollars. We will never use them again. Incidentally, the confirmation had our return flight leaving at 8:40am. It was rescheduled to leave at 7:30am. We weren't notified - again! We knew about the change only because we confirmed directly with the airline.

The customer service rep assured me that the reservation was fully refundable till midnight pacific time the next day.

The machine informed me that my reservation was successfully cancelled and I won't be charged. When I haven't received any confirmation email within the hour, I became suspicious that something is wrong. I called them up again and after excessive wait was connected to India. The guy said that can cancel the second reservation with Air Mexico, but won't be able, however, to cancel the InterJet reservation and suggested to call them directly. Now the situation was that I had two reservation on my name on the same InterJet flight. Speaking to InterJet customer rep was also very frustrated. He offered me to change the reservation to another day. To have 2 reservation going there and one to return.

    Finally I called my Chase credit card and they were able to remove those charges from Travelocity. It was such a relief. Travelocity are liars and scammers.

I decided to call Travelocity (from New Zealand) to see if I could pay to change my ticket. Travelocity said it would cost over 500 dollars to change a ticket from Auckland to Seattle to an earlier date. Albeit I'm not a travel agent but I'm finding that very hard to believe. As I had already spend $90 calling Travelocity from an international phone line, I hung up and found another way to get home. Luckily, a family member was able to use their frequent flyer miles to book me a ticket home right away.

    I called Travelocity when I was back in the US to see if I could change or cancel my flight to get credit with the airline. Travelocity said this was not possible. This time the phone call was 80 minutes. The woman (employee number S#**) said I couldn't cancel the flight, I could only change the date of the flight, using the same airline and same departure and arrival cities. In addition a change of date would be $300. Since I was in Seattle and not going back to Auckland anytime soon this was useless.

    I called the airline hoping that they could help me. Hawaiian Airlines was fast and helpful and helped me cancel my ticket to get credit with the airline in 23 minutes. Travelocity's flight change/cancellation policy says to look at the airline's change/cancellation policy for guidelines. Travelocity made up their own cancellation/change policy on two separate occasions. Both customer service representatives were totally incompetent.

    I should have read the reviews for Travelocity before booking because then I would have seen all the 1* reviews saying exactly what I've also experienced the past couple days with them myself. I was booking a flight for my friend and I from JFK to Santa Rosa, California - round trip - when I was given an error message with my itinerary # and told to call customer support with it for further assistance.

    When I called I was told that, despite being charged for it, and having an itinerary created for the trip, that it was showing up blank and they could not "prove" I paid them. Over the next 14 hours on the phone with them (10 hours one day, 4 hours follow up the next day) and several trips to my bank which accommodated me past closing hours because of my circumstances, I would talk to nearly a dozen travel agents and representatives in India & America (to get to corporate in America you get a robot first, transferred to India, transferred to their supervisor, then they're allowed to transfer you to American offices) and everyone I spoke with had varying accounts of the situation.

    Firstly, I was told that though I had an itinerary they saw no ticket purchases under the #. What they DID see is that they opened *3* accounts under my name and charged me a $20 fee *7* time ($140) between them, and they also saw 2 $44 insurance fees for 2 tickets, though supposedly I hadn't purchased tickets according to them. Those fees were refunded after leaving work early to go to my bank and having Sheri from Travelocity fax over the authorization #s to the fees so my bank could void the payments. They could not void the plane tickets.

    Second, because they could not see I had paid them and they lost the info they booked for me, they could only tell me my flights consisted of a Delta flight, American, and Alaska Airline flights, and that I should call them. Travelocity could not tell me specifically which they booked it with since they lost my info and that I should call all three to see if they have any info for me. So a wild-goose-chase ensued and I called all the airlines and explained my bizarre situation. Third try with Delta yielded results: they saw that Travelocity had sent my name and my passenger's name to the airline but had no plane number, no payment, no ticket - just that they made a "ghost" reservation with only our names.

    Many Travelocity reps told me the same thing: "Huh, that's strange." (and later "sorry, there's nothing we can do"). I spoke to the next agents about what happened to my plane ticket/money. They were adamant that I was not charged and I should just buy another ticket, not understanding I didn't have enough for another two round trip tickets with the money they overcharged me still. The first person I got said to wait it out, it's not a big deal/just a mistake (he laughed when I said it was a $1,400 mistake I was paying for). I was then told by the same corporate rep that I could book a one-way both ways and wouldn't be charged because they'd cover it with the round trip I already paid for and got no ticket.

    I explicitly asked if I'd be charged and he assured me with his word I would not be (I was, but we'll get to that). He said I'd have to buy a way back since the original flight I wanted to return on was not available (not sold out, just showing an error) and the next available ticket was slightly more expensive. I agreed only because I was beyond worried at this point I'd be stranded in CA without a way to return, and the corporate rep explained I'd be refunded the other ticket anyway so I shouldn't worry.

    He goes to put it through and couldn't - rushing to the bank again with them on the phone I checked my account and it was now down $2,000 instead of $1,400. They DID charge me for the one-way there that they assured me they wouldn't and now couldn't book the way back because I could afford it after being charged a roundtrip, one-way, seven service charges of $20 and the $88 insurance still pending refund. It was 12am at this point and I'd been on the phone for 10 hours straight at this point and the rep said he'd call back tomorrow to see if any of the $2,000 had been refunded.

    Following day; I could not wait for a call back and called them again. I was charged "$0" and $1 charges several times by Travelocity over night. Being transferred around a bit again between India & America I reached a rep that answered many questions the others could not. With her we discovered Travelocity had also charged me - get this - for a flight to CHICAGO!! Two passengers. Again, was told "huh, that's weird." And again I was told "there's nothing we can do" - that I'd have to wait to see if the funds would "just be kicked back to your account".

    I was forced to cancel the one-way flight there because I could not book a way back. I canceled the first vacation I was ever going to take, because Travelocity charged me for a roundtrip, one-way to California, one-way to Chicago, tried booking a one-way back to NY, and hit me with the same surcharges 7x. The rep that finally helped me/the one I discovered the Chicago flight with gave me $200 credit towards (some) hotels for my troubles, though I never plan on using Travelocity EVER again (or Expedia - I got Expedia customer support when I was transferred around by Travelocity so I think they're connected).

    After this rep and I had finished all we could do and I was told to wait, the rep from the previous night that said he'd call back, called back (the one that charged me for the flight he said I wouldn't be charged). I filled him in. I spoke to someone and he looked in my account and saw I canceled my one-way and said "oh... But, that's not refundable." I freaked out a little and said the other rep told me I would be refunded and he kind of just retracted his statement and said to wait it out then. I've been partially refunded as of the beginning of this review and I continue to check for the rest of my money in my account.

    Travelocity is a scam. They do not care about your troubles. I cancelled my card because I kept getting $1 and $0 charges from them. I canceled my vacation for my passenger and I. This has been the worst experience with a company I've ever had in my entire life. They nearly wiped out my bank account and scheduled flights to places I did not want to go without my permission and didn't book the flight I wanted/paid for. I've never seen an operation so sloppy.

    Oh, and Victor at corporate was super disrespectful and I'd be ashamed to have someone so inconsiderate on the phone with customers arguing with them, telling them they don't know what they're talking about when Travelocity is the one that has had no idea what's going on this entire time. There is only more confusion with every new answer I got from them. Spare yourself the trouble. I will pursue legal action if necessary.

    Looking back at my family's first time using Travelocity, I can assure you we won't be using it again. My mother had booked a flight, got her itinerary, and everything was crystal clear. We had already booked stuff in the country we were visiting and we were packed and ready to go. As we were getting ready to leave, the day of, my mother checked another email she had gotten. The itinerary was totally different! My mother and a good friend of hers were on the phone for hours, talking to people who got them nowhere, people who didn't even know very well English!

    It seems that our flight had gotten canceled and they didn't even decided to inform us so they just changed our flight. Even worse, the people we were talking to were all the way in El Salvador! I've never had such a stressful experience when flying. We ended up talking to a supervisor who was high up on the status, who lived in Las Vegas, and he got us a ticket. Though the stress didn't stop there. When we got to the airport we found out that that flight was cancelled as well! Our connected flight was cancelled! We ended up having to fly with Avianca airlines, which was a lot better than United Airlines. I do NOT recommend this website to anyone whatsoever. Take business elsewhere.

    I was a faithful and longtime customer of Travelocity. Booked a Junior Suite for 9 days/8 nights at the Cofresi. When arrived to the room, I was disappointed with the garden view, which was far from a garden. Called the front desk and begged for them to change my room, the front desk told me to call the next day and talk to the day supervisor. I did that the following morning. The person at the front desk kept blaming Travelocity. I reply "I guess I'll be checking out earlier", was ignored. So the fourth day when I was checking out 5 days earlier. They asked me for the reason I told them about my earlier complaint, and the person at the front desk said "call Travelocity if you want a reimbursement for the 5 nights you did not use, because you booked with them." I left in tears.

    My first called to Travelocity was 7/17/16 @ 10:54 am, 2nd call 7/17/16 @ 9:55 am (18 mins on hold), 3rd call 7/22/16 @10:28 am (1hr. on hold) all the agents promised to help resolve the situation and reply to me via email within 48 hrs.

    I needed a last minute rental car so I went to www.Travelocity.com.

Told to call back later and then call magically disconnected. Life is great when your expectations are met when using a service.

    I "was" a long time customer of Travelocity; until they made a mistake on a phone booking. Although it was clearly a mistake the agent made, they refused to resolve the matter. Over 3-hours on the phone with customer service (if you can legitimately call it that); issue elevated to "customer service tier 3" which basically meant a customer service agent that actually spoke fluent English explained their terms and conditions that do NOT protect you even if they made the mistake in the travel booking.

    One agent admitted they made a mistake, the next higher level agent denied it and said they would need to review the recording at "some later date" after they tried to cancel the wrong hotel booking. However, although a "package" was booked, they refused to cancel the airline without a fee. In other words, they would have you continue to keep the airline booking although you won't have a place to stay! Absolutely disappointing experience that is worth telling you about. Learn from our mistake, which was booking with Travelocity thinking they would stand behind us for their mistakes. Horrible company - avoid Travelocity and Expedia (which now owns Travelocity).

Called back in and asked for Sup and was put on hold for over 15 mins no check in and hung up.

    Finally over an hour later got a call back from first supervisor and was told that the wait to speak to supervisor is usually 30 to 60 mins which is just unacceptable. My card was showing two pending charges by this time and asked the supervisor about this and he had no answers and no apology for my long wait time so asked for Manager. After a shorter wait I got a Manager who researched why the booking wasn't going through (system issue) and apologized for horrible customer experience and offered me a hotel voucher to use in future. I went in a few weeks later to book a hotel and the voucher was never added to my account.

    Booked a trip for me and my wife to the Garza Blanca Preserve Resort in Puerto Vallarta. We were supposed to get all inclusive and an ocean view. The week of our trip, the hotel tells us it's not all inclusive, and that we would not get an ocean view. Here's the best part... The hotel rep tells me a lot of angry Travelocity customers have been arriving there thinking they are getting ocean view and all inclusive and that Travelocity's website has been having issues lately.

    So as you can imagine I'm beyond upset. I call Travelocity and tell them the situation... They admit it was a mistake! I was put on hold for over 2 hours as I kept getting re-routed. The entire time they tell me I'm getting a full refund. Finally a supervisor comes on saying he has to penalize me 1 day hotel fee and the airline fee. I yelled, "how can you penalize me for something you admit is your fault?!" He said it is what it is and that he had to follow procedure. In the end they kept $600 of my hard-earned money. Yes you heard me right, not only did our trip get canceled, they kept $600. Not 1 apology. No future credit. My wife has been crying the whole night.

Every time I called back for a status update I had to speak to a foreigner and explained my whole story why I am making a claim AGAIN.

    I can understand companies outsourcing to third world country to cut on cost but the people they hire need to be competent and understand basic English. What is the purpose of travel insurance when they want customer to go to HELL to file a claim that is rightfully deserving of a reimbursement.

To stay at some dump. The site claimed it to be the best in the area. Said it had free breakfast with your stay. When I got my first room key, the room the guy gave us had no door knob on it. The lights were on and so was the tv. Someone was living in it. When I got my 2nd key for another room, the room was dirty. Crumbs from other people eating in there were all over the floor. There was a spitter bottle on my nightstand. Hair in the bathroom drain. The bathroom you couldn't even turn around in. There was a meth head/prostitute living on the other side of the building.

    When we got settled in, we went down to the office only to find out there's 3 undercover cops sitting in the office waiting for someone. The place is a total dump. Drug central. I was half afraid to sleep under the blankets. Under the beds were old bottles and food wrappers. I will never buy another hotel or anything off of this site. It's a joke.

    My wife and I planned a family vacation using Travelocity for the flight reservations. We had been long time users of Travelocity and rarely ever had a problem in the past. Travelocity no longer exists as it once did. Apparently they have been purchased by Expedia (Microsoft) and ever since then their customer service has been non-existent. What's worse is they have begun to defraud the public on a massive scale. We purchased airline tickets for a round trip flight to the west coast. We were provided the ability to select seats on the Travelocity website.

    As per the website warning/disclaimer, we called the airline a week before the flight to confirm our seat assignments. SURPRISE! We didn't have seat assignments. Not only didn't we have them, the airline told us Travelocity NEVER sent a request for seat assignments! Needless to say we were told we would be split up among a full aircraft, individually, regardless of age. OUTRAGEOUS! We cancelled our flights immediately with Travelocity and asked for a refund. It's been 6 weeks and we are still disputing this. STAY AWAY FROM TRAVELOCITY!!

    For practically the same price we could have booked directly through the airline and had guaranteed seat assignments. Had we known of this recent change with Travelocity we never would have used them. It looks like now we are out $1600. Someone should initiate a class action suit. Travelocity should not be offering seat selection when in fact they do not have the authority to do so.

    The airline told us Travelocity NEVER sends seat requests and Travelocity tickets are always UNASSIGNED with them. This was deliberate misrepresentation of a product or service to trick the unsuspecting consumer to purchase said product or service, or better known as fraud, simple fraud. That is exactly what Travelocity is doing by offering seat selections. They know and are aware they are no longer requesting seat assignments from any airline. In our particular case we had Virgin America for the departing flight and JetBlue for the return flight. Both airlines stated the exact same thing!

    In April, 2016, we booked four tickets through Travelocity to Paris. On May 11, we realized that the names on our passports didn't match exactly. My husband needed to add "Sr." to the end of his name, and I needed to add my maiden name in addition to my middle and last name. We didn't need to change a passenger name, just add more to it. From May 11th to May 22nd we made 17 phone calls to Travelocity regarding this seemingly minor issue. We were kept on hold for 6 hours and 25 minutes, dealing with 17 "representatives" and 3 "supervisors" who, though polite and friendly, were completely unable to make these minor changes and confessed that they had never heard of the airline they represented.

    Part of the problem was that none of the 20 Travelocity employees we talked with spoke without an accent, and, as a consequence, were difficult to understand; and they had no idea what it meant to add an "Sr." to the end of a surname. Apparently it isn't in their culture. The airline had no phone number, which was a problem for both Travelocity and us as well. (a different issue) Through emails, it became apparent that this had to be resolved through Travelocity, not the airline, we would have to re-book two of the four tickets, pay the price difference, and pay a fine of $125 each... a difference of almost $800. We have never dealt with any company that made it so difficult, frustrating, and costly to do something so simple. We cancelled our reservations and got a refund through our credit card company. The airline did not dispute the issue.

    I wish I would have read the reviews before dealing with this company as I am currently dealing with long wait times while they are suppose to be calling hotel. I made reservations on May 2nd for a condo in California. My grandson and his team are in the national dirt bike races. Of course they charged my card for the full amount. Our dates are 6/22/16-6/26/16. I was not able to go on the first day so I called the management company to make sure my son-in-law could pick up keys only to be told I don't have a reservation. After many calls to Travelocity the condo management company reserved another condo and wanted payment. At this time my family is on the way to the condo. If I would not have called about the keys they would have arrived and would not have a place to stay. For 2 days I have been trying to get a refund from Travelocity and all I get is a runaround.

    I got a supervisor today (Joan) who placed me on hold for 35 minutes while she was trying to call the hotel to see who's fault it is. After waiting she tells me their customer service is busy and she will try back in an hour and let me know what she found out and assures me they will take care of this That was 5 hours ago. I called back to be ask again what the problem is I told him I would not go over it again just put me in touch with Joan who of course is not answering her phone.
    In reading other reviews this seems to be how they deal with clients who want their money. Leave them on hold for long periods of time and hope you hang up.

    This event for my grandson was to be a fun experience. Staying at the same condos with the rest of his team was part of the experience as well as a birthday party for his 21st birthday.

    This company has pretty much ruined all plans but not doing their job and worse not to take care of the problem they caused. A company like this should not be in business. A simple hotel reservation has turned into a nightmare. I have been in customer service for 50 years. I know mistakes happen but it is how you take care of the problem once it occurs.
