    Being on the telephone with the Philippines for almost 2 hours is a frustrating, aggravating and annoying. Beside the language barrier they lose your information therefore, you now have the same price that's available in the system. Forget escalating it to a supervisor because she no better than the person that you were speaking to in the first person. And forget being transferred to the States because THEY ALL STICK TOGETHER. The bottom line, I lost the price while I was talking to the agent. But unfortunately, I was able to find it again online... I WILL NEVER CALL TRAVELOCITY AGAIN. IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME and the ONLY reason I called is because I'm disable... Good luck.

    I used the Travelocity search engine to find a hotel in a specific neighborhood in Paris for a work conference and when their search engine populates "sales", it has a technical glitch that lists hotels in the !!totally wrong neighborhood!!.This did not just happen once. I took photos of many examples where they are flat out lying about location. I trusted their mapping feature to be accurate and it sent me to a hotel 30 miles outside of the city. I spent 8 hours!! on customer service calls **PRIOR** to my trip trying to correct the issue.

    They told me only a supervisor could rebook me at another hotel. Then they'd leave me on hold for 1-2 hours each time and no supervisor would answer, or they would not get back to me about the problem. I finally had to spend 80Euro on a taxi to go to the hotel in person and cancel. The manager of the hotel confirmed the search engine location problem and even sent Travelocity a LETTER on my behalf requesting a full refund for a hotel I never checked into.

    Travelocity has ignored all of our joint correspondence. They keep blaming the hotel saying "the Pullman La Defence Hotel does not allow refunds" but it's Travelocity lying to me. The hotel has written letters on my behalf. I had to PAY TWICE for a Paris Hotel and when I got to the 2nd hotel (La Fontaine du Luxembourg), it was under construction and fully tented. And Travelocity gave no warning about this.

    It was the worst trip I have ever taken. Not only did they cost me $600 for a fraudulent hotel, but I paid over $100 in cab fare and missed $800 worth of work to deal with this ridiculous problem. Finally I had American Express reverse the charges. If you feel like Travelocity has tricked you or lied to you, get your credit card company involved. They often have far better customer service, especially when you have a paper trail proving the fraud.

    We booked a vacation package to Maui with Travelocity in March 2016 for September 19th. Something came up and we were forced to cancel. I started calling on June 15th. I told them I was forced to cancel this trip. They said to hold on while they check the package. They play this torture music for 30 minutes when they come on the line to inform me that Hawaiian Airlines has a no refund policy for cancellations even with three months notice. However, the airline will provide a voucher at a $200.00 fee if I use it before March 2017. I will not be able to do that so funds for are lost. Doesn't sound like Hawaiian Airlines with three months notice. They checked with the Westin Kaanapali and could not get a hold of anyone. They said they would pass it on and get back to me. This was June 15th.

    On June 18th I had not heard anything and called Travelocity again. Talked to someone about the problem with a refund for the hotel after looking round 1 with the airline. She said to hold while she phones the hotel. Over thirty minutes later (torture music) she said that she couldn't get a hold of anyone and she would put me on the line with her supervisor. More torture music and he came on the line fifteen minutes later and said he had a different number for the hotel and would give it a try. Music on and he returns another twenty minutes later with news that the hotel has a no refund policy on cancellations even with three months notice. Westin Kaanapali. Not likely.

    What I didn't tell the supervisor that I had already called the resort before even calling them. They said they have no such policy and it would be the third party's (Travelocity) policy. I asked him to send me a email saying that I will out $2700.00 because something came up three months before the trip. Wait it's not over yet. He said he would get a hold of the manager to get on the line. Put me on hold, music, music, music. 20 minutes. Gets manager and says "are you there? I say "I am" and he can't hear me. Hangs up. The manager did call right back from a different phone number. She said also that it was hotel policy for no refunds on cancellations. She said she get a hold of the hotel manager and put me on hold to see what she could do.

    Another twenty minutes pass when she says she couldn't get a hold of the manager (surprise) and would send them a email and forward the response to my email, what I wanted a long time ago, as soon as she gets it. I said I would not lose $2700.00 and not put up a fight and now I have her personal phone number. I am sure they do not believe any normal human being would stay on the line listening to very bad annoying music for over a hour and a half and get nothing. I did get mad enough to call the manager back and the phone message says that this phone is for outgoing calls only. Perfect. Never again. They wouldn't let me rate them no stars.

    I canceled a travel package last September 2015, and I have tried multiple times to use that airline credit, and have spent over 20 hours on the phone with 6 different representatives to book my new flight, to no avail. I was, however, successfully charged the $200 change fee. This is the most frustrating experience had with any company, especially considering that I am a "Travelocity Gnomad" and have spent over $50,000 on travel through Travelocity in the past two years, and have proactively touted Travelocity as the best travel company for at least 10 years.

    I am supposed to be flying out next week and thought that I had a reservation (emailed to me was a snapshot of the correct flights). I called the next day when I hadn't received confirmation and the representative assured me that it was "in the queue" and to check again the next day. It never showed up, and now I'm on the phone and was just told that there is no reservation for my flight next week. I have a feeling I will never be able to use my airline credit and even paid $200 on top of that. I hope no one else ever has to go through this, although I am certain now that this is the way that they make their money. I have spent too much time and money, and now I also feel like I might have a heart attack. NOT WORTH IT. Book directly!!

    Booked one leg of a flight, tried to book hotel reservations, phoned for customer support and was told I would not receive a discount because it was not a round trip ticket. But the website popped up and stated now that you have booked your flight, book your room now and receive 54% off. Not, you have to have a round trip ticket. Last leg of flight was not booked. Last time I will use Travelocity and I will continue to report this company to the better business bureau and anyone who will listen and encourage them to change their website and have it state - must book round trip ticket!!! Fraudulent advertising is fraudulent.

    I recently booked a car rental through Travelocity back in February. I received an email confirmation - all appeared correct so I didn't think twice about it until today. 2 days before our trip I decided to call Hertz just to ensure we actually get a van (there are 6 of us) only to be informed that my pick up location is NOT at the airport as I requested when I made the reservation.

    I called Travelocity and after almost 30 min on hold finally got a supervisor (after being disconnected once). I was then told they would do some website analytics to determine if there was a problem with the website during booking that resulted in the error (vs. it being my error). After 50 additional minutes on hold I was greeted by the rudest customer service manager I have ever dealt with. I was informed that since I hadn't logged into my Travelocity account since I made the reservation it was MY fault and there was nothing they would do about it.

    When asked why logging in mattered (I had checked my reservation email - it said "Car rental in Portland" and had a hertz address - but not location name. For all I knew it's an off-site location) I was told it was my responsibility to check to make sure the address was correct, not theirs. Why would I google an address that could be an off-site rental location when I put the airport code into the reservation request?

    The supervisor was extremely rude - continually talking over me and not listening to what I was trying to ask or say. When I acknowledged that I knew I was being rude because I was upset but that I didn't appreciate that she AS A CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER was being rude to me - the customer - she just told me that yes I was being rude and that she wasn't, she was just following policy. When I asked to speak to her supervisor I was denied because there was nothing anyone could do for me. I told her I didn't want/need help - that I wanted to report her behavior and got her name (but still didn't get escalated). I have provided feedback online and requested they contact me (and I will call them back again). So we shall see what they do to address her behavior. Unfortunately I am stuck with the incorrect reservation because the cost difference to switch it is astronomical (fortunately it is 15 miles away is all). DON'T USE TRAVELOCITY EVER.

    I was booking 2 rooms for 2 nights over the 4th of July weekend in Springfield, MO for a family of 8 vacation. I was having challenges finding a hotel. Finally selected one, filled out the credit card info but before I hit submit I changed my mind and decided to book a nice hotel. So I went back to the hotel that was more expensive, booked it, entered my card information and hit submit. I got a message that my card info was incorrect so I entered it again and hit submit. I got 2 confirmations and immediately realized I had booked 2 hotels, 2 rooms for 2 nights. I called Travelocity and because selected the non-refundable option, they could void either reservations. It was clearly obvious that at the same time I book 2 hotels in the same city, same days, 2 rooms. Then I received 78... yes I said 78 confirmations of these 2 reservations...

    I booked a trip with Travelocity heading to Russia for a month. I booked head in advance got a great deal to book non-refundable. A week before taking my trip a immediate family member became sick and soon passed away. This was a once in a lifetime trip for me. I had to cancel my trip to attend to my family. I was told by an agent that I would be able to use this trip whenever I wanted to. After 3 years has gone by and not being able to afford another trip I called to see if I could approach the subject of a refund, only to find out that the credit for my trip was cancelled as well. I was told I would be left on hold for a very long time and then was left waiting on the phone for over and hour before hanging up. My advice is if your thinking of use this company look somewhere else as this is the worst company I have been associated with yet in my life... Pooooooor Quality.

    First - wouldn't let me cancel a reservation with them 30 min after I had made it without charging me 1/2 (one night's stay and we were staying two nights) b/c I had found a site that offered the same room for $100/night less. Said cancellation would only be refunded in full by 4p THE DAY before the day I reserved it. Second - upon their suggestion, I filed Best Price Guarantee form to get the $200 back and was denied on the Best Price Guarantee b/c the room isn't "apples to apples" yet. It's the best they can offer – a two adult room is a two adult room.

    I booked a packaged deal on May 15 with Travelocity. I was unable to see the entire itinerary until tonight on my trips. The hotel in Acapulco was missing. I called to ask why and they said it had been canceled. I had already paid for the entire package and did not cancel the hotel. After speaking to a supervisor, he told me that I had to speak with someone from corporate headquarters because there was nothing he could do for me. He wanted me to send him a copy of my bank statement which I refused. This is the first time I had used Travelocity and it will be my last. I want to find out if there is a government agency I can report them to. I'd like to give them a zero. I wished I had checked the consumer reviews first. A big mistake on my end.

    When we got to London we were not happy with our hotel. We did not blame Travelocity just wanted to change it. On the second third day there we sent a Facebook message. Got a phone call a while later. Said we could look up hotels and let them know which one we wanted. We did this and it took another day for them to get back to us just to tell us the hotels we chose were either booked or too expensive. We picked more hotels. Took forever to hear back. They finally called back. All the while we spent two extra nights in an awful hotel. One of these nights the fire alarm went off from someone taking a hot shower and the steam set off the alarm. We told them to call in three hours so we could get to Internet access. They did not call. My husband called customer service on our dime. It cost a lot to call internationally. At least 50 cents per minute. Was out on hold for an hour and a half. He was hung up on twice. Finally got a hold of someone.

    In the meantime our hotel had checked us out without our permission and gave our room to someone else who walked in on us. We were forced into a decision because it had taken so long to hear back. No hotels were available that were not expensive. So we had to pay $1100 extra for the new hotel and arrived past midnight very emotionally tired and exhausted. When we got back to the states we contacted Travelocity about our complaint. We did get the small refund for the four nights we did not stay at the first bad hotel. Haven't seen it in my bank yet by the way. We were told a higher up supervisor would contact us within 48 hours. It's been over a week. No word. I am greatly disappointed and if we do not hear back I will be even more disappointed. At this point we will not be using Travelocity again.

    I was forced to cancel a hotel reservation several days before the start of my schedule stay. Travelocity has a policy of charging a first nights fee for any cancellation. The website attempts to make you believe that it is the hotels policy. The hotel informed me that it is not their policy, but Travelocity's. The cancellation fee is a Travelocity scam and I will never use the site to book another reservation and encourage anyone considering using their services to find an alternative booking agent to accommodate their needs.

    I made a vacation reservation online. The website took several minutes to load a page and accept each form. It disconnected several times which meant I had to login to continue. After much effort I finally completed my reservation and received a confirmation page however I never received a confirmation email. I went online and for several days was unable to access my itinerary. I consistently received the message, "This service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in a few minutes." After several days of trying I was never able to retrieve my itinerary via my online account. When I called it took the agent about 5 minutes to call up my reservation and have my itinerary emailed to me. Their computer system seems to be on the verge of collapse and is completely unresponsive.

    So I have booked through Travelocity back in February and everything went just as planned however I just booked through them again and they sent me my confirmation information so I went to the hotel for my reservation and they told me that my reservation was for the next day so I called Travelocity to see what happened and the told me that the hotel was booked for that night so they changed the day to the next available day. They told me that it would be $200 to change my plans even though it was their fault that I was going to so I told them that I didn't want to change my day. I just wanted my money back and they told me that I could have a couple that I could use for them.

    I was not ok with that so I asked to speak to a supervisor so she transferred me to one and I sat on hold for an hour then they hung up on me so I called back and was transferred again and it took another 30 minutes for someone to answer the phone and they started being rude and distasteful to me... This is a horrible place and I recommend that no one try booking through them.

    Booked trip to the Hard Rock Punta Cana. I am a cancer patient in remission. After being there for a couple of days I started feeling sick. I spent one evening vomiting all night. Got up in the morning headache and fever. My husband called front desk. They sent me to the doctor on the resort. He suggested I go to hospital. Dehydrated and possible infection and being a cancer patient no immune system. Went to hospital they gave me IV fluids. Wanted to admit me for antibiotic iv. Needless to say the hospital was beyond filthy and no one spoke any English and my husband wanted me out of there asap.

    We went back to hotel where I spent a little over 2 hours being disconnected from Travelocity trying to book a emergency flight back to the states where I could get to a doctor or hospital. Every time I got through and told them I had been disconnected they promised wouldn't happen again and if it did they would call me back. NEVER happened. Sick, crying and frustrated I got online and booked a flight home on American Airlines. Oh by the way I had purchased the trip insurance. I do have proof of all these calls on my cell phone. I tried to call Travelocity today and just spent 29 minutes on hold no answer. This is how you treat your customers... I would NEVER recommend anyone use this company.

    We booked flights to London with Travelocity as they offered the best deal. For our return flight we included a layover in LA as it was $800 less than booking direct London -- SFO. The first issue occurred when we checked in for our outbound flight when the check in staff were unable to locate our reservation saying our ticket number was invalid and had Travelocity sent us another ticket number? They hadn't. After a few phone calls from the staff they got us on the flight and we went off to London with only a short delay. No big deal.

    For our return flight we were due to depart at 4.15 pm from London. We had plans that day to spend it with friends and do some shopping before our flight back. My husband suggested we try checking in online so we could make sure we had seats together as we were flying with young children. When I checked my online reservation it stated our flight was departing at 12.20 pm which was 4 hours earlier than our confirmation stated. They had moved us to an earlier flight with no notification, no email, no phone call NOTHING!!

    If we hadn't checked then we would have missed our flight. As it was we didn't have time to call Travelocity and try and sort it out as we had to scramble to get ready, the kids ready, take the hire car back and jam to Heathrow Airport for our 12.20 pm flight hoping they would be able to do something at the airport. Not good when you are travelling with a 5-year old and a 2-year old. The check in staff were unable to do anything as they said it was Travelocity that we needed to speak to and we just didn't have time to do that. We ended up being the last people to board the flight.

    Now we are at LAX after a 10.5 hour flight and I finally try to call Travelocity to try and arrange an earlier connecting flight as we were only supposed to have a little over 2 hours to clear customs and recheck in for our SFO flight, now we had 5 hours in the worst airport in the world with 2 tired children. Surprise, surprise after being on the phone for around an hour, speaking to two different people, listening to hold music and having to explain the full details of our issue to both people they told me they were 'sorry but there is nothing we can do.'

    I have since messaged them to let them know of my disappointment I received a cursory 'sorry for the inconvenience, we will look into it and get back to you' and have had nothing since... I think this pretty much sums up the level of their customer service. I can safely say I will NEVER use Travelocity again for anything and I will also do my best to spread the word far and wide so other people are warned about how they treat their customers. Pretty much like everyone else who has reviewed them on this site.

    As I am seeing Expedia/Travelocity has a reputation for stealing from people. My experience is I booked a room at the NYC Hilton through Expedia. I arrived and gave a credit card for incidentals. Upon checkout I was charged for the stay due to lack of payment from Expedia. I tried to resolve this with Expedia and I was met with continuous holds, flat out knowing lies, when I called her out on her lies she admitted to it and admitted she just put me on hold because she is instructed to do this.

    I asked for a supervisor. I was told there are many but I can't talk to one, so why can't I speak to one? They don't take this type of call. This practice is so mind numbly stupid it doesn't seem real, but it is! I am 1 month into this and still not a hint of resolution. I will not go into all the calls I have made and the lies I have been told from Expedia, I will say DO NOT use these folks. They do not have a culture of resolution or honesty. And don't waste your time trying to call their main office, when you try to contact someone it is a runaround and no voicemail actually works.

    Summary: I was charged an amount higher than the shown price. I appealed through Travelocity customer service and attached screenshots as backup. They declined saying there was a discrepancy in the information which I presented, although there was not. When I followed their directions to continue the appeal and resubmit my information, I received zero response. I stopped after the 4th inquiry with no response. I am seeking credit for the difference of the ticket price (before taxes and fees) for four tickets.

    Additional Detail and Explanation: Friends booked the flight at the lowest price offered $278.20. I immediately logged on and saw 4 tickets left at the same price so I booked it right away. I was charged a higher amount which I thought was due to taxes and fees. Once I paid I realized that I was charged $325.58 per ticket (without taxes and fees), a difference of over $190 total. I called customer service right away and was directed to someone that listened to my entire story and request to correct the fees. His response was "How can I help you today?"

    I once again explained my desire to be credited the difference and was told all they could do was cancel the entire itinerary. I do not want to cancel this flight as I knew I would then not get either the flight without friends who are traveling, or the lower fee. I appealed via the website and included screenshots showing the lower amount was available for purchase for my tickets when I hit submit. I have not been credited the amount and have received no response confirming my final appeal is rejected.

    We booked a trip to Cancun with Travelocity/Dynamic Airlines for a trip on June 2016. The Airline changed our outbound and inbound flights to very early and very late times. For example on our departure date the Airline changed our flight to 10:30 pm which meant we would have to stay in the airport waiting for the flight from hotel checkout time 11 am till 10:30 pm, with an estimated arrival in NYC at 3 am! This unexpected change was unacceptable.

    I contacted Travelocity for a solution and after 1 hour and 36 minutes on the phone, Travelocity/Dynamic offered to change my flight to an earlier day - so I would lose 1 prepaid hotel night - then I was told that my only option was to cancel my trip which would be fully refunded (we bought travel insurance). I contacted the other passengers to confirm that we would have to cancel and that was my mistake - I lost the call and I had to call Travelocity again and even with reference numbers they took 1 hour to locate my reservation and start processing the cancellation of the itineraries.

    They were supposed to send email confirmations for 3 itineraries for a total of 6 passengers - we only got an email confirmation for 1 itinerary and 2 passengers. Called Travelocity again and another 1 hour on the phone and confirmed cancellation and full refund for the other 2 itineraries - waited overnight and no e-mail confirmation. Once again, I called Travelocity just to request an email confirmation - it took them 1 hour and 18 minutes. Total time on the phone with Travelocity customer service: 5 hours.

    Calling Travelocity with reference numbers from previous calls is pointless. Every call is an endless explanation of every detail and customers are transferred to supervisors and then to manager - and again I had to explain all the details. I wonder if Travelocity knows that not only they wasted 5 hours of customer time for a simple notification of cancellation - they are also paying 5 hours of employee time for lack of better service.

    We booked 2 rooms for 3 nights in a hotel May 2016 via Travelocity. We paid the entire bill upfront and when we arrived, the hotel told us they never received our reservation and even confirmed this with Travelocity by phone. We were stuck in a foreign country late at night with NO ROOMS or solutions. As there were 2 major events in the city, all hotels were full. We had to rely on friends and business partners to put us up. When we returned from our trip and tried to verify we were refunded, we were told that not only did the hotel get our reservations, but that they accepted the payment and refused to later refund it. Turns out they did this to multiple clients. Accepted lower rate reservations from online booking services and gave the rooms away to walk-ins willing to pay more.

    Now Travelocity is saying that they cannot refund us because the hotel won't refund them. Who does Travelocity work for, us or the hotels who scam us and then refuse to refund? From my perspective, Travelocity is who I purchased a service from and they were not able to render that service because their partner did not provide the rooms that were paid in advance for. For me, this is an entirely fraudulent service.

    My daughter and I traveled from Dallas to Minneapolis to say goodbye to Prince. The first issue was the rental car place they booked closed at 11 and our flight got in at 10:59. The Indian dude kept telling me, "Don't worry about it" that they "may" wait for me. Being in a strange city with my daughter and possibly not having a car in the middle of the night WAS something I was worried about. So, they changed my reservation. Or so they said... So I get to the airport, shuttle to the new place and guess what? It's midnight and they have no record of my reservation. So I call and again an Indian guy who you can barely understand says 347 times, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience".

    They definitely have cars where I'm at but he wanted me to go to ANOTHER car company. I said, "No, you are going to make this right and handle this here." I said, "Give me a refund" and he argued with me for 5 minutes that they couldn't do that. Then in a strange switch - he says, "I'll refund you what you paid for the car." WTF?!? So I paid for a car where I was (Sixt) and they were super nice and gave me the same rate. Don't waste your time with these losers - they are scammers and have no problem leaving you or your family stranded.

    In March 2016 I used Travelocity to book a trip to Brazil, Cuiaba. My trip ended up being rescheduled, twice. Almost one month later after I purchased the ticket, I received a call from a guy with a strong Indian accent. The guy said that he was calling on behalf of Travelocity and my flight to Brazil was cancelled. One hour later I received an email from Travelocity notifying me that my flight was officially canceled. I call them up and after waiting for almost 30 minutes, finally spoke to one of their staff members. They offered me a 48 hour itinerary instead of a regular 20 hrs flight to Cuiaba.

    Thankfully, when I bought my ticket, I paid $82 for a STRESS FREE TRAVEL PROTECTION PLAN. Since the new itinerary offered by Travelocity was ridiculously long 48 hrs I asked them to reimburse my account for the full price. The Travelocity agent said that to cancel and reimburse my account she needed approval from her supervisor. Even though, I paid for the travel protection plan, I had to wait over one hour to get the manager's approval to cancel and reimburse my account. After trip cancellation, I received a confirmation e-mail stating that the flight was cancelled. However, there was no information in regards to when I would be reimbursed. Since I was still on the phone with the Travelocity representative, I asked her how long it would take to receive my reimbursement. She said that usually reimbursements takes about 8 WEEKS!

    I told the representative that I wanted to talk to her supervisor. 8 Weeks reimbursement was not ethical, nor acceptable. She said that her supervisor would not be available until later. I ended waiting an hour on the phone to talk to her supervisor. Eventually I ended the call asked the representative to have her supervisor call me. Her supervisor never called! When I booked my trip through Travelocity, they charged my account immediately, so why do I have to wait 2 months to get reimbursed? While I was on the phone with Travelocity, I went online and found a DELTA ticket from SFO-Sao Paulo-Cuiaba, round trip $200 cheaper and 20 hrs faster. And in the case of a Delta cancellation I will get reimbursed in 7 business days.

    So why use Travelocity, when you hardly can communicate with their inefficient staff, their fees are more expensive, their connections are not reliable, they are prompt to rescheduling and cancellations and in the case of reimbursement takes 2 months. I took the time to write this comment, so you avoid using Travelocity. When I was writing this comment, I found out that there were over 1,000 complaints to Travelocity. No wonder why Travelocity does NOT participate in the Consumer Affairs authorized partner program. My advice to you is, If you need to book a flight, go straight to a reputable airline. Don't waste your time with Travelocity.

    Travelocity recently handled my flight to San Francisco. As a result of their admitted errors in issuing the ticket I was left abandoned in New York's JFK airport without a valid ticket. Even though I had an American Airlines confirmation, locator number, and seat assignment, the ticket could not be processed due to Travelocity's errors. I missed my flight and had no choice but to cancel my vacation and make my way back home dragging my luggage through an unfamiliar transit system. Travelocity's only attempt to help me at the airport was the suggestion that I purchase a ticket and be reimbursed at a later date. The same day purchase of the ticket was over $1,000, $400 more than the original, and beyond my means to float on my credit card until some future reimbursement.

    Furthermore, my phone connection to customer service cut off before I was given any instructions on how to proceed with such a reimbursement or if a price difference would be honored. As Travelocity's customer service system relies on their calling you back I had no way of contacting them in the time frame I had to find another flight. I had to wait too for them to call me back, which they did not. I'm curious to know why Travelocity couldn't book the flight for me and pay the cost directly? After the outrageous loss of my vacation, my attempts at reimbursement of my ticket and hotel fees resulted in my being placed on hold for more than three hours as I was shuffled up the line to corporate management. I spent an additional three hours the next day just to get a confirmation that my case was resolved.

    Travelocity's final resolution was to cover only part of the ticket cost and the cancellation fee of my hotel. When I insisted that the ticket was worth more than what was being offered, they claimed that was the amount the airline said the ticket was worth. As a result I am losing $200. When asked about compensation for my lost vacation time I was given a flat "NO, we do not reimburse for lost time". Told to write a letter to corporate and given an address but no contact name. I, like many of you, am a hardworking middle class person. The loss of this vacation is the loss of my vacation for the year. Travelocity's choice to do as little as they can get away with instead of what is right is unconscionable.

The cancellation policy states there is no charge for cancellation or changes to your reservation. I completed my transaction by entering my credit card information.

They in turn called the hotel and the hotel (Holiday Inn) said they can change the date to the date I requested in the first place for $187.00 instead of $90.00 (the original fee). What a ripoff! Never use this site! I wish I had read reviews before booking with this company. I will be sure to tell everyone I know to never use Travelocity!

    In November 2016 I made reservations thru Travelocity/Expedia for two rooms in Lexington, Kentucky. We were attending the Rolex. On the day before our arrival I contacted the hotel GuestHouse Inn & Suites Lexington, Kentucky. I was assured that they had the reservations. On arrival at the hotel we were informed that the rooms had been given away and that any reservation made by a third party (Travelocity/Expedia) is not a guaranteed reservation. The cost of the room at a different was double due to the Rolex Horse Comp. Travelocity/Expedia determined the problem was mine and even though the hotel was full had I called that they would have made them give us a room that did not exist. When you book thru Travelocity/Expedia the room is not guaranteed and they (Travelocity/Expedia) will not stand behind the reservation. It would have cost less if I had booked direct with the hotel.

    I’m writing this letter on April 27, 2016 about my trip on April 22, 2016. Myself along with two friends with a 16 month child drove from Kaufman, Texas to New Orleans, LA, a trip that covered 477 miles in over eight hours. We didn't leave until 4:30 PM. We arrived around 12:45 AM, again that was over an eight hour of driving. Upon arriving at “Family Inn of America 6303 Chef Menteur Hwy, New Orleans, LA, 70126” I was greeted with the news that they had no rooms. It was also brought to my attention by the hotel staff that this had been made known to Travelocity as early as 12:00 PM. Other guest had been showing up calling Travelocity stating this issue to which a Travelocity agent would call the hotel to verify this to be true. Once again this had been happening since 12:00 PM, a full 12 hours before I arrived to the hotel. On my itinerary it stated there was no need to call and verify the reservations so I took your company’s word.

    I spent another hour and half going back and forth with your agent about this problem. To which her only concern was about me making it in time to “Best Way Inn & Suites”, a second Hotel to which she had called on my behalf. As a public servant I could lose my job if I treated a client in such manner. It’s not professional nor is it a good business practice to retain current customers or attract new ones. Your agent went on to state that the second hotel was an upgrade in cost and accommodations for all of my troubles to which I highly doubt that. In all I am thoroughly shocked at your company’s practice and feel as if you dropped the ball severely on my first and most defiantly last experience with your company. How you do plan on making this right with me because at this moment I still feel very dissatisfied in spending over $300+ with your company as a whole.

    I have successfully booked many trips with Travelocity and Expedia (apparently one in the same company). Never thought to look at customers' reviews but now wish I had. I booked a trip in February of this year, put in my credit card information and after several minutes received confirmation and a printable receipt for over 100$ more than the price listed on booking page that included all charges. I informed my bank of issue and they provided a preliminary refund of the disputed amount.

    Today refund was reversed as Travelocity provided a copy of the receipt. I explained that the receipt did not reflect the original charge but because I had no proof I am out that money. Though a relatively small amount of money the bigger issue is fraud. I will never book with them again.

When I called Delta they told me that Travelocity had put my name on both of the airline tickets even though all of the confirmation information I had showed both of our names. I spent 4 hours on the phone with Travelocity the night before our trip and was assured that the issue was resolved. When I asked for a number to call the next day if we had issues at the airport I was told that was not possible.

    The next day the issue was not resolved and Delta tried to fix it at check-in. When we attempted to board the flight we found out that the issue was still not resolved and were removed from our flight. After that I had to spend another 5 HOURS on the phone with Travelocity at the airport. After waiting on hold for three hours I finally got to someone that had the authority to address my issue. However, even this person asked me to spend $1800 per flight of my own money to buy new tickets.

    After a total of 5 hours on the phone with Travelocity (between me and the Delta agents) Travelocity finally booked us new flights. What this means is that we weren't able to get on another flight until 8 hours after we were originally supposed to depart. This means that we missed an entire day of our vacation that we had saved up for YEARS. This also means that our bags arrived a day after we arrived. Also, the agent promised me a refund of $442 which I have still not received, over 12 days after I was supposed to.

    Travelocity not only ruined the beginning of my trip. They also ruined the end of my trip because I had to worry for days about whether or not we would have similar issues on the way home and, being in a foreign country, would have had to spend a lot of money on the phone with Travelocity again. We did indeed experience issues on the way back but thankfully Delta was able to resolve them. I have never encountered such incompetence and had such poor customer service in my life. Travelocity ruined a trip that cost us thousands of dollars, a trip that we can only afford to take once every decade.

    Well, I told that it wasn't the end of the matter! Went to my bank with printout of cancellation from the Travelocity site and got a full refund credited back to my account. Love my bank... My advice is if you are dealing with these online sites is to document everything, printouts, screenshots, to keep track of all interactions with them because they WILL not help you after the booking if they screw up.

    I booked travel based on the terms and conditions which stated "that if I have a change in plans within 24 hours I would not be charged or penalized." I also purchased a travel insurance policy which was supposed to protect me from events/cancellations out of my control. I had to cancel less than 24 hours after my reservation and still I was billed due to circumstances beyond my control. I called, emailed faxed and voiced mailed Travelocity. WITH NO RESPONSES!

    Once I was able to get somebody on the phone they told me they were not handling the ticket, it was Expedia. They could speak English. Keep that in mind. Obviously they are not Americans!!! And then, I contacted Expedia and the airline and both told me that they were not responsible. And that Travelocity was the booking agent. I then protested with American Express and they entered a dispute. Travelocity then lied to America Express about the circumstance of the booking and sent a templated rebuttal. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LEARN FROM ALL OF THE 1000 + COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE! DO NOT USE Travelocity. They are corrupt, dishonest, and not run by Americans. They lie and misrepresent the terms and conditions on the website.

    I received an email with someone's flight confirmation and when I called Travelocity, they would not confirm if this was charged to my credit card. Asked me for the phone number related to this account; however, since this wasn't my reservation (I hadn't made any reservations), I didn't have any phone number to give. Customer service rep was completely unconcerned. Then when I was supposed to be connected with the supervisor, she pretended she couldn't hear me so she hung up.

    Terrible accommodations! I booked a 2 night stay at a Travelocity rated 2&1/2 star hotel from 2/8/16-2/10/16 and was the Extended Stay Hotel in North Indianapolis, Indiana. This place was terrible and was grossly overrated at 2&1/2 stars. I tried to get out of this deal to no avail. Then I tried to book another room at a different hotel but was out of luck due to a bowling tournament in Indy at that time.

    To say that this hotel was a pigpen would be generous. There were bugs in all of the light fixtures and I pulled significant amounts of food trash (bottles and bags out from under the bed. Various items (hair clips, shaving cream, bags of peanuts etc. from past guests were found behind furniture and in drawers. The straw that broke the camel's back was that I noticed a small steel screw top vial used for carrying controlled substances attached to a lamp stand. Fortunately no drugs or residue was found or I would have called the police. This property is in serious need of renovation and major cleaning. Consequently I will not use Travelocity again. This property needs to rated 1 star in my opinion.

    I purchased two tickets for my family a couple of weeks ago. I purchased the ticket protection plan (in case the weather was bad and we had to cancel). I found out this weekend that my brother's wife fell and broke her shoulder. I called Travelocity today Feb 22 to let them know I have to cancel one of the two tickets for March 18. I reminded them that I had paid $108.00 for two travel protection plans for cancellation.

    After much time on the phone and two supervisors, they told me that the plan would give me a year to rebook and that the airline would charge $200.00 for the future booking. I asked if they were kidding since that is what airlines do in an emergency at no cost. I kept asking what my $108.00 was actually for and they all repeated a pre-written above statement. I lost a $750 ticket because there is no refund and I paid $108 for a plan that is nonexistent. I travel a lot and always used Travelocity. Apparently they are not the same company. Expensive lesson learned - do not trust or use Travelocity for my future travel.

    There should be a "no star" option. Travelocity avoided informing us that the 3 seats we were allowed to choose from their site for a Virgin America flight from JFK to LAX would be an extra $50 per seat at check-in, which we had to pay to ensure that we (a family that includes a 1 motion-sickness preschooler and 1 lap infant) would sit together. Luckily, Virgin America corrected Travelocity's error. However, we are currently waiting to speak with the supervisor of the supervisor on Travelocity's customer service line (and frankly, I've been waiting for over 20 minutes now, so I think the coward will not come back on the line), as our Jetblue flight that leaves today from Long Beach for JFK, and AGAIN we are having seating difficulties. Per Jetblue, if we want to be assured seats together, we have to pay an extra $90 per seat, otherwise we just "take our chances" at the gate. Travelocity is a sham.

    Oct 9, Montreal. I booked a car through Travelocity. On arriving at the Avis counter, they could not find my reservation. I asked them to call Travelocity which they did. Travelocity's promise is to put things right should there be a mix up in the reservations but they claimed that since I only reserved through them, and did not pay through them, they had no responsibility. They were unable to help. My advice: Avoid TRAVELOCITY.COM - they do not honor their pledge to help.

    Complaining about a US airline or a travel company such as Travelocity is like throwing a grain of sand on a sand dune; trying to get any kind of redress is from the very start completely out of the cards. What you will get in spades are lame excuse, and repeated utterances of "I am so sorry this happened ma'am." What you will NEVER get is any sense responsibility, accountability or professionalism, never mind any attempt to be helpful or constructive.

    On January 1, 2016, I used Travelocity (MISTAKE!!) to make a plane reservation for a flight on February 10. I was told that within 24 hours I would receive a follow-up email with the flight confirmation number. Today, February 8, I realized that I had never received the confirmation email with the reserved seat information (as promised). I called American Airlines and was told that the only seats now available were upgrade seats for an additional $35.00 each way. However, at the same time an agent told me that when I got to the airport, I would get a seat at no extra charge. It is not difficult to see the shoddy, dishonest behavior here: You cannot get a seat in advance unless you are willing to pay extra even though you are also told that regular seats are still available (but you can't reserve one even if you booked a reservation over a month in advance).

    What is the take home message here: American Airlines just wants to collect more money by showing all the seats as filled except for those that cost extra. Needless to say, Travelocity took no responsibility for their delay and mistake in not sending me an email with my flight confirmation information. There is something so wrong, so unprincipled, so egregious, and maddening with what these companies get away; truly sad and disheartening. Stay away from Travelocity, some version of my experience would certainly be your experience now or in the future. And we MUST find some way to force the airlines to be less awful and less sleazy in their modus operandi.

    I wish I could give a negative star, because it did not even worth one star at all. Last year I bought a flight ticket with insurance so I could get refund after cancellation. I had to cancel my trip and I got part of my refund as an airline credit toward my next reservation. Everything seemed good until I started to book my new flight. I had to talk to at least 7 customer reps and the average waiting time was at least an hour. I just wanted to use the credit to my new flight using the same airline. Easy process you think? No, complicated. Endless waiting, and the customer service sucked. I had to be on hold for an hour for them to get a manager and got nothing done: the rep told me that the manager was busy! NO WAY! Talking on the phone for an hour? Seriously?

    On my fifth call, after a 45 min. wait, someone picked up the phone but didn't say a thing, while I can hear people talking in the background laughing and chatting in Indian. No one talked to me after picking up the phone for over 20 minutes while I knew there was someone there. This is my very first time writing a review, and DO NOT use this one for any of your trips, because they do not care and the service sucks. One more time, NEVER use this service, I warn you. Btw, I still couldn't use my credit after talking to a dozen people on the phone for days. At this point I don't even care now. It is wasting of time and I am done.

    We completed online trip booking. Several times during the process the website didn't accept information and kept telling us information was required yet there it was on the screen. Finally came to trip insurance & vacation waiver option. Made our choice and completed booking (credit info was already required to be provided). Hit complete booking button... and guess what - NO vacation waiver fee had been applied.

    Within 5 min called customer service (JOKE). After 30 min and one supposed supervisor later they told they could do nothing. Only option was to cancel entire trip package, buy new one. I was told that this time I shouldn't forget to add trip insurance to package!!! I also would have to wait for refunds from the cancelled trip to be posted to credit card from the various vendors! The best part was the price had already increased for the trip package--and they expected me to pay the higher price! It gets better. I asked that the director of customer service call me the next day...and was told they don't call people...they only take incoming calls...seriously that's what she said. After that I did some checking. This package only saved me a few hundred over booking direct with airline, hotel and car rental. NEVER AGAIN. NOT WORTH IT!

    I booked a flight on Travelocity weeks prior to the flight --- it was booked at a locked in/nonrefundable/guaranteed price of $598.40. The initial Travelocity paperwork had clearly indicated there was nothing more I needed to do - I was all set... Then on the day prior to the flight I went to the Travelocity website to book my seat selection... which is something I usually would JUST RUSH THRU AND BE DONE WITH IT.

    But I was lucky enough to notice there was a note on the Travelocity trip summary info that stated: "Your ticket price has changed from $598.40 to $2,218.40 as the airline could not confirm the original price due to pricing or availability changes that occurred after we posted the latest prices on our site. Continue booking or look for a different flight?" Well obviously if I was to look for another flight - now only 24 hours prior to the flight - the likelihood was I would be paying a lot more (double triple or in this case quadruple) than my locked in "guaranteed price" of $598.40.

    After hours on the phone with Travelocity I finally got the $598.40 price honored... But no one at Travelocity could/would ever tell me how it was I have this PIECE OF PAPER FROM TRAVELOCITY TELLING ME THAT IF I HAD CONTINUED AND PICKED MY SEATS I WOULD BE PAYING $2,218.18 = almost 400% more than my "guaranteed price" had I not looked closer than I typically would when booking my seat selection. I feel confident I would have been billed at the $2,218.18 price for my $598.40 locked in price... No one at Travelocity seemed to want to see the document - or know any more about it when I asked "Does this kind of thing happen all the time?" Which leads me to believe better watch if you book with Travelocity.

    On 1/22 after weeks of research I booked my first and likely only family vacation for 4 to Puerto Rico. I had researched Hawaii but decided my family could not do the long flights. I selected a 6.5 hour flight from BWI to MCO to San Juan (11:20 AM to 5:55 PM) with a similar return flight. The next day I am showing the reservation to my husband and see that we are booked on a 14hr 49min outgoing flight from BWI to Boston to MCO (6 hour layover) to San Juan (8:50 AM to 11:30 PM). There is no reason I would have done this. The price difference was probably less than $50 a person. Why would anyone with a family of 4 do this??? I did not purchase any insurance because I had booked the perfect trip at the perfect time (no real chance of snow or hurricanes) and I really don't have a spare $150, I will need that for food and car rental.

    I discovered this the next afternoon on 1/23 (during the BLIZZARD in DC) and immediately try to correct/cancel online with Travelocity and Jetblue. Jetblue's website says no fees if cancelled/changed in 24 hours. I get "Oops we can't assist you" messages on Jetblue website and am directed to customer service numbers on the Travelocity website. I could not get through on the phone to either company and get "extremely high call volume due to the weather" prompts asking me to "call back if not traveling in 72 hours." I hold anyway for over 3 hours and get hung up on. I call back and select to have an automated call back rather than hold. No call back. I call back on 1/24 and 1/25 and give up due to long holds and the same prompt to delay calling if not traveling in 72 hours. Again, I select to have an automated call back. Doesn't happen.

    I get through today, 1/26, and am told that I booked it online so it must be my fault and that not only can they not waive any fees and get me on the correct flight, my tickets are completely non-refundable; I can't even opt to pay the fees and any fare difference. Additionally, I am told that if I had contacted them by 11:59 PM on 1/23 they could have done a courtesy cancellation. I re-explain that they were not available due to the high call volume due to the blizzard and then am told I could have cancelled online.

    I requested that the CSR walk me through that process since I had not seen any such option and they could not. This call started at 1:30 PM today and was passed to a Supervisor who could not do anything and after a near hour wait to transfer to "Corporate" I was disconnected. The supervisor did call back my cell phone and I have continued to be on hold for another hour. I have been told I cannot be given the phone number to corporate.

    I reached the corporate representative at 3:50 PM and retold the story. I am told there is nothing that can be done and that if I cancel I would still be charged for the entire airline portion. So, no it is not the end of the world, but this is really my ONE splurge. I have worked since I was 15 years old. I am 35. I guess it is possible that could have clicked the wrong flight. But I really doubt it. I have a very hard time believing that Travelocity or Jetblue can't help me to get on the correct flight which are still available and advertised for even less than the day I booked.

We were on hold for over an hour. The customer service who was hard to understand said we would be able to change the reservations to a flight closer to what we originally chose. The rep said it was going to happen but a supervisor would call us back and confirm the reservation. The call never came. We called back 4 times with a long hold time only to be told the same scenario that a supervisor will call back. Never Happened!

    After a really long wait we were talked to a 'supervisor' only to be told they would not change our reservations and if we wanted them changed it would cost over $200. Not of this was acceptable. They never should have told us we can make the changes without charges and then tell us $200. They lost a lot of business from our travels.

    An awful experience with Turkish Airways & Travelocity. Never use them again! If you enjoy traveling as much as I do, read below and learn all about why you should never book with Travelocity or Turkish Airways. Back Story: On December 19 of 2015, I made a purchase for a flight on Turkish Airways via Travelocity. I paid $576 dollars for a round trip ticket. I told myself it was a great deal! I was very careful in choosing my time and flights because I was meant to be meeting a few friends in Europe & we all needed to arrive to our destination around the same time. My flights were confirmed & I received my receipts and confirmed itinerary inclusive of both confirmation numbers for Travelocity and Turkish Airways.

    Day of departure: January 19, I arrived to Kuwait Int airport at an appropriate check-in time. As the agent was checking my name, his facial expressions changed. He then later informed me that there was issue with my reservation & if I was aware that I "missed my flight". Of course I was shocked; missed my flight? Absolutely not; it's 5:40 am. I have plenty of time to check in. This trip has been carefully planned with plenty time and all of my documents confirmed me at a 7 am flight departing Kuwait; or so I thought. The agent continues to tell me I'm not on the 7am flight; I was on the 5am flight. First of all, I would have never booked a 5 am flight as it interferes with my work schedule. Second of all, I need to be at my final destination at a specific time; and the 5 am flight would've had me arriving at a much earlier time.

    I continue to argue with the agent. He then calls for his manager, or their lack of because the man was nothing more than just another agent, who didn't give a ** about what his clients (me) had to say or show. He looked through my itinerary and tells me I'm not confirmed on this flight, I'm on a 5 am flight. I'm still confused & shocked. At this point, I'm beyond frustrated and upset. It's 6 am and I need to get out of Kuwait and board a flight to Milan, and Turkish airways is not doing anything to help me. They continue to deny my confirmation on a 7 am flight and blame it on changes cancellations etc.

    I showed both the agent and his manager all my documentation confirming my flights. When I checked in online using their garbage app, I didn't see anything different about my reservation. Nothing was enough, they continue to tell ME that I or someone switched my flights or allowed a cancellation or change to my flights - they didn't care what I had to say or prove. I was made a fool, the agents disregarded anything I needed to say and their only solution was for me to pay for another flight - cash, because "they don't accept credit cards". What?! I thought to myself, "Oh, how convenient, you want to take advantage of my current situation and keep the cash for yourself." Ridiculous. The experience was completely awful & embarrassing. I've been traveling since I was a young child and I've never been treated so badly by any company or airline.

    They continued to put the blame on me, wouldn't take anything into consideration, and they cancelled all my flights. Their solution? Either I buy another flight with them or another airline to leave Kuwait - and then file a complaint with corporate, so I can get be "taken care of and refunded". Unbelievable. End result? I had to purchase a 1-way $600 ticket out of Kuwait to my final destination. I also had to purchase another $280 1-way ticket returning to Kuwait. Obviously with a different airline and booking agent. An additional $820 in flights... When I originally paid $576. I'm beyond furious and upset.

    When I arrived to my layover in Dubai (with my new flight) I called Travelocity and filed a complaint regarding my original flight. Their response was "the airline changed my flights and they sent me an email". I didn't receive an email. Let me get this straight. I received a confirmation email perfectly fine. I get your garbage "promotional" emails perfectly fine, so why wouldn't I receive an email or phone call notifying me of any changes regarding my flights and service that I PAID for!? Unreal!! I wasn't even aware of a flight change let alone given an option for a change! The agent from Travelocity advised me to call corporate headquarters because she could no longer be any help. She said Turkish airways cancelled all my flights and If I want to make changes I have to pay.

    End story - hours later. I logged on Twitter and let the world know that Travelocity and Turkish airways were business who only cared about how much money they can get and don't protect or respect their clients. Someone from Travelocity reached out to me. I finally spoke to someone that works in corporate, supposedly, and they said they were passing on my complaint to their corporate supervisor. She too told me I was sent an email notice, regarding my flight changes. What is it with these people and business not accepting their mistakes and treating the clients with some decency? I've checked my spam inbox and never receive any notices about any flight changes. Since December 19 I was confirmed on a flight departing January 19. I never knew anything was changed. I never authorized the change.

    Even though I have all this documentation, both Travelocity and Turkish airways have do nothing to listen to my case or offer any compensation or help. They both just continue to ask for more money. I was advised by the Travelocity rep that they would reach back out within 24 hours. She reconfirmed my email and phone number. It's been more than 24 hours and I haven't heard back. Again, lack of customer care and respect.

    Travelocity & Turkish Airways, I'm not Richy Rich who just throws cash around. I'm a client who enjoys traveling and would appreciate being treated with respect & understanding when you and your systems make mistakes. You refused to hear anything I had to say or show and have refused to take into consideration your systems' failure. My original flight was $576 round trip. I've now spent an additional $880 on flights. What was meant to be a fun vacation with friends and family has turned into a nightmare & stressed out trip. Avoid Turkish Airways and Travelocity at all costs if you want to travel worry free...

    I went online to book a motel in Lakes Entrance, Australia. Not knowing any better, I saw an ad for Great Western motel - Banjo Paterson. It advertised 1 room with Queen bed and most importantly it claimed it was a Smoking room and the price was $123.00. Travelocity required my credit card details before they would process my booking.

    I immediately emailed Travelocity to exchange Queen bed for twin beds, that it was a Smoking room and confirm the price. I got back an automatic email saying they would respond in 48 hrs. I then emailed the manager of Great Western to confirm personally our requirements. He had never heard of Travelocity but said they dealt with Expedia; he then stated there were no Smoking rooms. I told him about the online booking which he had just received from Travelocity confirming a Queen bed, $183.00 per night in a non Smoking room.

    We know it is rare to find a motel that permits smoking on the premises. We were totally misled by Travelocity; unfortunately the manager said he required cancellation from Travelocity to confirm the booking was no longer required. This started as hugely annoying list of emails backwards and forward to Travelocity's help section (You have got to be joking!) to get the reservation cancelled due to misleading advertising of motel.

    To cut a long story short we traveled 300 kms to personally speak with the manager who assured me he would not process any credit card charges. He was amazed on reading my itinerary from Travelocity that the room price was $30 more than their current rate - his words: "They are ripping you off!" I printed out the countless emails sent to Travelocity trying to cancel this booking starting within 10 minutes of making it once we confirmed none of it was correct.

    I finally received an email saying that the manager could cancel the booking two days after being in our new motel. Such inefficiency is hard to believe. More importantly how can an American company represent an Australian motel to knowing Australians whilst unbeknownst to the manager, and advertise misleading motel requirements. Travelocity emailed me to complete a survey on their service - I am still laughing!!

    I booked a trip with Travelocity in November for a flight and rental car. Several days later, Travelocity contacted me because my flight had changed and it would now get me home the following day. With no other flight options, Travelocity cancelled the rental car and refunded that portion to my credit card on 11/23/15. I was told that once American Airlines refunded the money to them, they would credit my card for the flight. On 12/3/15 American emailed me that they had processed my refund and Travelocity would have it within 10 days. All of these steps were done with Travelocity, using the same trip number.

    After 4 weeks, I began to inquire about the status of my refund. Travelocity told me my trip number was invalid, they didn't book the trip and an affiliate company in Spain set it up. After talking to 8 representatives in the US and Spain, no one can even access any information or history using this number. I have offered to email my 2 correspondences from Travelocity using this number, or my credit card statement showing the charge. To date Travelocity denies any involvement in this transaction. So they have my $620 and they will help me if I come up with a "valid" trip number. Unfortunately, I am past the 60-day limit with my credit card company, which is probably what they wanted. They have definitely lost a long term customer.

    On 12/17/15 I was looking at a room on Travelocity.com. However I called to make the reservation. They made the reservation on the wrong date (2 months earlier than what I asked for) and I obviously did not show up for the night. The hotel rightfully put the charge through as a no-show. While I did receive a confirmation from Travelocity I did not notice that they had the date wrong until I checked after receiving the charge on my credit card. I called the hotel directly to check on the charge and to book some more days. I called Travelocity and they kept insisting that I had made the reservation online and that they would not cover the hotel charge. I spend over an hour on the phone with them, most of that time on hold. Their pricing was exactly the same as what was advertised on Travelocity. These sites are a scam, an extra middleman that adds an extra layer of potential problems.

    I went online to look for motels with free long term parking. Travelocity advertised that a Day Inn offered it for the time I needed it. I booked the room. Once I checked in I was told no that there was no long term parking and that was only through the main company and not through Travelocity. I was told that it was a package they did offer. Nowhere on the ad did they mention that the room had to be booked through Days Inn. I talked to a representative at Travelocity and this one woman stated that it was very misleading. She put me on hold. Another woman picked up the call and was rude and said there was nothing that could be done.

    As I was siting there I overheard someone else come in and the price they paid for the same room was $30.00 cheaper, So in the end I paid more for my room and had only one night of free parking. Thank goodness the woman at Days Inn was great and helped me find a lot at JFK that would take my car. I will never go through Travelocity again and will spread the word.

    I booked my vacation package to Cancun back in September, and it contained a hotel reservation and a flight on American Airlines. When I completed my reservation and got my itinerary, it listed that the flight back from Cancun will leave on December 31st at 10:50am, and accordingly I booked my airport shuttle from the hotel to drop me off at the airport by 8am. I got a confirmation email from Travelocity confirming the same information and saying "Your reservation is booked and confirmed, and there is no need to call us to reconfirm this reservation".

    On the day of the travel back from Cancun, I arrived the airport with my wife and two little children and tried to check in knowing that we are still 3 hours away from the scheduled departure time, and I was shocked when the airline officer said that you are late and the flight is leaving within an hour and he cannot check us in and I had to call Travelocity to find another alternative. I called them and stayed on the phone with them for more than 90 minutes and the only thing they were able to provide is to let me book another flight through another airline and pay for it with my credit card directly to get me back to the US.

    We were stranded in the airport for 6+ hours until this flight time, and it was totally unfair for my little kids who had to struggle through this. When I came back I called them and after around 2:30 hours of long talks with a supervisor and a manager, they said that the airline has changed their flight information sometime in October, and they claim that they sent me an email that time, which I have never received by the way, and it is eventually my fault because I didn't check the flight information one or two nights before I travel. What if I have no Internet access in my trip? Aren't they supposed to make sure that I get the flight update since they are the travel agency through which I booked my trip.

    Anyway, I had a very bad experience with Travelocity this time and was so frustrated when they didn't want to honor their mistake of not keeping me up-to-date with my travel details. This will be my LAST trip ever that I will book with them even if they are the cheapest deal ever. For example Costco travel keeps updating you on a regular basis with trip details even if there is no change. I would encourage also everyone else to avoid booking with Travelocity until they enhance their system for better notification.

    We used Travelocity for a recent two-week trip to the Bahamas with our young children. We booked our travel +8 mos in advance, paid in full for international flights for four, and confirmed all travel arrangements with Travelocity 3x before leaving. So imagine our horror when we arrived in Florida and found that we didn't have tickets at all. Nope, we had pieces of paper that said "Not a Ticket". When this went down, we frantically contacted Travelocity expecting that they would have some overview, some control, some idea of how this happened and a way to fix it, and boy were we wrong. They passed the buck to everyone else and had us running around between United Airlines and Bahamasair for hours and hours across days of our vacation, with no flight to our destination or back to the States. They did repeatedly tell us that it wasn't their fault when they didn't have us holding on an international phone call for 40 min at a time.

    There's no panic quite like finding yourself stuck in Florida trying to get to your destination and then stuck on an island with two little kids and no way home, paying exorbitant international calling fees to sit on hold while your vacation days dwindle away and having your booking company offer no empathy, no assistance, and no solutions. Lovely. Thanks for that Travelocity. Eventually, Bahamasair came to our rescue, putting us on random flights whenever they could. They did their best to seat us with our children but that wasn't always possible. We lost two and half days of our vacation, missed preplanned activities, and added about a thousand dollars in unexpected phone, travel, and hotel fees. So my advice is to steer clear of Travelocity.

    We booked a travel package thru Travelocity for 4 people for round trip to LA including round trip air-fare and 5 day hotel stay to attend the Rose Bowl. The initial flight was cancelled and could not be rescheduled until 2 days later, when the Rose Bowl would be over, so we had to cancel the whole trip. I notified Travelocity immediately and they cancelled the return flight, and told me they would cancel the hotel, that I didn't need to worry about it. The following day, the hotel manager called us and wondered where we were.

    I called Travelocity again, and once I finally reached a supervisor, they told me if I had cancelled the hotel the first day, I would have only been responsible for paying for the first night. Reasonable. Since the hotel wasn't notified, as Travelocity told me they would, I was responsible to pay for the entire 5 day stay for 2 rooms, that were never used. Travelocity ended up with almost $10,000 of my money since THEY did not cancel the room as promised. They denied. It was their fault, and it was my tough luck. They ended up with all that money for a trip I never took.

The morning of December 30, 2015, I saw that my flight was changed to 1pm from New Orleans to SAN DIEGO, CA. I called Travelocity at 11am and they said they would have to give it to a supervisor and that they would call me in 2-3 hours. I called them back at 3pm and asked to speak directly to a supervisor. Supervisor said that I supposed got an email from United Airlines this morning and accepted the changes to my reservations to go to San Diego... So now it was out of their hands and I would have to contact United Airlines directly. These call centers were most likely out of the country in India or something, because none of the representatives spoke English well and I had to ask them to speak slower multiple times so I could understand them.

    I called United Airlines, was on hold for 40 minutes... someone picked up and then hung up. I'm currently writing this review being on hold for ANOTHER 35 minutes and counting. Travelocity makes things up to give responsibility to anyone other than themselves. I booked my reservations through THEM. They should have been the ones to notify me of any changes and THEY should be the ones trying to fix this problem. Airlines also give priority to people who booked directly through them or are currently at the airport waiting... and since I live 2 hours from New Orleans, I'm pretty much screwed.

    We booked our wedding trip through Travelocity and when we arrived at the airport our airline informed us that they had cancelled our flight. The airline refunded our money in less than 24 hours but the hotel informed me that we had to get our refund for them through Travelocity. My first call to Travelocity was that night, 12/15/15. At that time I was told that they had contacted the hotel and any communication to me from that point on would be through email. By the night of 12/18/15, we still had not received any emails so I called Travelocity. The girl that I spoke with couldn't find any indication that a refund request had been submitted or processed. She made a call to the hotel while I held the line and when she got back on the line she stated that the hotel agreed to refund our money and she provided me with a confirmation number. As of today 12/29/15, we still have not received our refund.

    I have called Travelocity a third time today. The wait time was over 58 minutes. The representative that I spoke with this time also couldn't find any indication that a refund had been requested or submitted and after sitting on hold with that representative for nearly 30 minutes while he presumably contacted the hotel again, just like one of the other reviewers wrote, I was disconnected and found myself back to where I started.

    After you are "placed on hold" the customer service rep NEVER returns; therefore, you are automatically cut off. No one should ever book a flight thru these people... Not only did they get the date wrong which I was charged $175 - they informed me to correct it would be an additional $200! Needless to say I cancelled the flight altogether and am in the process of disputing the entire amount of the charges and fully intend to fight it all the way to get my money back...

    I reserved two flights in early July for mid-August. Within a few hours from that date, I found another, better flight through another site, using a preferred airline. As per their website, cancellations can be made within 24 hours of making a reservation, but flights comprised of two one-way trips must be cancelled via the phone and cannot be cancelled online.

    I called the provided Customer Service number and was directed through an automated menu to cancellations. The automated process requested the itinerary number, which I provided, and correctly identified the flights I had purchased, for both dates. I confirmed that I wanted to cancel them, and was told on the phone that both flights were cancelled. I called a second time just to make absolutely sure that all the information was correct, and was again told that both flights were completely cancelled. I did not receive a confirmation email, but was unsure whether to expect one, as the automated cancellation process never stated that I would. There was no option to speak to a representative after identifying that the call's purpose was to cancel, either, as the call disconnected after confirming the cancellation.

    I realized only recently in reviewing older billing information that the charges were never refunded. I contacted Travelocity and they reported that they had no record of my cancelling the flights, nor any log anywhere of phone calls received (though I could procure my own records of having called). I was eventually offered a $100 credit for Travelocity, but I have no interest in ever doing business with them again, nor does this even begin to address the money I lost by following the exact procedure detailed on their website for cancelling flights (an excess of $400).

    I am an extremely unsatisfied customer for two reasons. First, I booked my flight through Travelocity.com and was charged nearly 200 dollars extra (which I thought we were billed for the car reservation) from what appeared on the website. Had I purchased my ticket directly through AA.com, it would have cost me less. Second, I reserved a car for my trip at Hertz for a total amount of 176.10 (Itinerary #**). When I arrived at the Hertz counter, I was given a $488 pricing for the same car. When we called to complain, we were told that the pricing that appears on the website is only an estimate.

    How does Travelocity expect me to blindly make my purchase, based on an estimate that can end up tripling as is what happened with the car rental: from 176.10 to nearly $490! I used to purchase my travels through Travelocity and even recommend Travelocity to friends/family/coworkers, but at this point, it's not worth it anymore. I'm definitely better off going directly through the website. They offer the same prices anyway. I will never purchase through Travelocity.

    In July 2015, my daughter and I flew to Orlando for a week. (I purchased tickets in February 2015.) We had a bit of a fiasco on our return flight to Los Angeles. We had reservations for a 5:11 p.m. flight on Saturday, getting to LAX around 7:30 p.m. At 11:00 a.m., I went to get my boarding passes at the hotel and they could not locate any airline reservations for us. So, I called the airline and was told our flight was cancelled back in April!! Because I made my reservations through Travelocity, the airline said I had to contact Travelocity since it was their responsibility to notify me of any flight changes. I was never notified. So, I called Travelocity and got caught in a horrendous telephone system that put me on hold for the next available operator. I waited about 40 minutes for a live person to answer. I explained my situation and they said I had to speak to a supervisor so they put me on hold.

    About 30 minutes later, the supervisor said "Hello" and immediately disconnected my call! So, I called back and got caught in the telephone system and I waited and waited. Finally around 3:00, after having NOT YET spoken to anyone who could help me at Travelocity, I called the airlines and purchased one-way tickets back to LAX for $1,500!! It was getting late in the day and I had no confidence that Travelocity would ever answer my call or return my call (as I had also left my name and phone number in their queue for a return call) and get a flight home that night!! The airlines couldnt book a direct flight back to LAX so routed us through Charlotte, NC - leaving Orlando at 7:20 p.m., and connecting in Charlotte for LAX at 10:20 p.m. (Getting to LAX around 1:30 a.m.!) The following Monday, I began calling Travelocity to find out what happened. I called again on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!!

    After 5 days of trying to get resolution (stuck on hold for hours and hours, being transferred to supervisors, being cut off, being told the system was down and to call back in one-hour, having to tell my story over and over because, evidently, no one was entering previous conversations in my case, being told my case number didnt exist, being told that people I spoke to previously didnt work there, being told it was my fault, being told it was the airlines fault, being told my reservations were in another persons name (what??), and on and on. It was a nightmare! Travelocity finally acknowledged that it was their mistake in not notifying me of the cancelled flight so they agreed to refund me the cost of the cancelled flight from Orlando to LAX which amounted to about $440.

    But what about the $1,500 I was out due to having to purchase one-way tickets at the last minute because I could not get through to anyone at Travelocity?? Well, they offered me a $50 hotel voucher for my inconvenience. So, I wrote a detailed letter to Travelocity about the situation and every phone call I made. I sent the letter by certified mail to 2 different addresses (which were difficult to find). I received not so much as an acknowledgement that they received my certified letters. A month later, I sent the letters again via certified mail - no response. I also sent my letter via e-mail - no response. I kept detailed notes of every phone call, who I spoke to, how long I was on hold, how many times I was transferred, how many times I was cut off, how many times someone told me they would call me back within 24 hours and never called.

    I asked for the difference between the $1,500 and $440 since I should not be out any money because of their mistake. Because they are located in Texas, they probably figure that it wouldnt be worth me taking them to Small Claims Court. So, my daughter and I lost our last day in Orlando because I spent the entire day on the phone trying to get resolution with Travelocity. I will never deal with Travelocity again!! It's been a horrible experience. Dont ever use Travelocity!! If you have a problem, you're on your own!!

    I should have known better than to use Travelocity, since I've had multiple bad experiences with them. I went to book a flight for my boss, simple flight from SFO to LAX. I specified that it should be in Business class. The only flights that come up are on Virgin America. I book the flight, it shows up in Main Cabin Select, which I thought was the equivalent of Business on Virgin. Upon the flurry of angry texts I received from my boss the next day (the day he was supposed to fly out), I was informed that that was not the case. When I called their customer support service, I explained to the woman what happened. She said she could make the change for me. Relieved I waited for her to do that. She then says "ok there is no availability for business". I ask her to check for another airline. She says there isn't. I ask her to please check again on Virgin. She says there is "no availability."

    I ask her "are there not any seats available or does this flight not have business class?" She says "there is no availability". SIX MORE TIMES I ask her the same question since I'm not getting a clear answer. I ask her to see if my boss can at least get premiere access. Somehow we get disconnected. When I try to call back I get an automated message that says "we are experiencing a higher caller volume than usual..." I go on to Virgin America's website and see the same flights I had my boss on with seats available in First class. I book the flights, takes 3 minutes. Easy! I go to call back Travelocity to cancel and am prompted to push 3 if I want to cancel my flight.

    They bring up my itinerary, and say "if you wish to cancel, just hang up." I do that. When I finally get into work I look online to see if it had been canceled and it wasn't. I canceled it online and then get a confirmation email saying it was canceled. An hour and a half later I get another email from Travelocity with the title "Planning for your upcoming trip to Los Angeles".

I call Travelocity, customer service told me Juneyao airline is not flying to Chiang Mai from Shanghai on the 24th. There is no other flight with original airlines to get me to Thailand on the 24th. (Which I understand that flight cancellation happens all the time. What made me so angry was the way Travelocity handled my case afterwards, as they lie to avoid responsibilities.) To continue the story, the agent told me not to worry and going to get his support team, he also got my number in case call drop. (He never called back.) I kept try to call back multiple times, all I get were people pretended to be answer machine states there is technical issue and to call back in 2 hrs and hung up on me. I interrupted the third person pretending voice machine, she said the best option now is to go ahead book my own flight and call back later to discuss refund.

    After I bought a new itinerary w/ different airline, I called Travelocity 6 hrs after initial call drop to tell them what had happened, and asked the agent to cancel flight from Okinawa to Shanghai as there is no connecting flight but save my return flight. He told me that he has to call the airline first and put me on hold, then got back to me said he was not able to get hold of anyone (closed business hours) or supervisors from his team, he told me to call back 24 hrs. I told him I don't have 24 hrs, as I am in Japan I'm already 12 hr ahead and my new flight leaves less than 24 hrs. He told me to try to contact airline myself. On 23rd, my friend tried to help me to reach China Eastern local office while I'm on air, which was closed for Japanese holiday. On 24th, my friend was able to talk to local office to cancel my going flight, but my return flights can't be used.

    Here starts what made me angry. In the afternoon I was able to call Travelocity (Do you understand how hard it is to make overseas calls from Thailand?) to check on the status of my other connecting flight on the 27th, and refund to my canceled flights. I had told them if it's too much hassle, just give me a statement for me to at least claim a portion of loss through my insurance (bought a cheap insurance). The female agent refused to give me a written statement, told me to contact airline directly and tried to hang up on me. I insisted her to let me explain my situation. This Travelocity agent claimed both my return flights on 27th and 30th are confirmed and not canceled (which is not what the airlines told me). I finally got a supervisor to speak to me. Again, this is the 4th time I had to explain my whole flight disaster.

    Out of surprise, this time the supervisor told me my request for refunds make no sense as the flight from Shanghai to Chiang Mai with JuneYao Airline 1325 DO NOT EXIST in my booking record. She told me to call their corporate office during their business hours. (I'm in Thailand with limited access to overseas calls and still 12 hr ahead.) I told her I can't call, if she can have them email me. She said she will. I called back to China Eastern again, who confirmed my return portion of flights cannot be used, the best solution is purchase new ticket and get refund from Travelocity. China Eastern states per airline policy refund can only be processed through original booking agency which is Travelocity. The airline also told me my 27th flight cannot be used either. I called Southern China Airline, who told me the same stuff of what China Eastern told me.

    Travelocity did nothing besides taken my money away and telling me to contact airlines myself then hung up on me, while all airlines pointing finger to Travelocity to get my refund back. The corporate office never contact me either! For this trip I have spend over $2400 for original cost of less than $1000, plus I had to use an extra day of leave, extra cost of lodging, wastes a day during vacation to make calls (plus all the charges for overseas calls). Don't use Travelocity at all, as they take no responsibilities.

I was told it expired the day before! I lost almost $1,000 and had to cancel my trip to Belize. I will NEVER do business with them again. It is bad enough none of them speak English but then they are also not properly educated on the rule to booking the tickets.

    Whole experience was bad. They advertise whole night club crawl at best clubs and limo with all-you-can drink in limo. Well 1st club we walked to and was told to meet at 12:05 to get bus to next club, the bus never came. A young woman from another group call and had to argue and yell until they agreed to send bus back for us. Rockstar changed pickup time to 11:30 but had no way to tell us and were just going to leave us there. So off to next club with unlimited drinks. We did not know at time of booking that next club is about 4 mins ride so no time for drinks. We are late getting to 2nd club and no arrangements mentioned about 3rd club. So basically we paid $98 each for entry to 2 dance clubs and 4 min bus ride. Travelocity defends rockstar.

    We booked reservations through Travelocity for a hotel at Herald Square in New York but when we got to the hotel our reservations were incorrectly booked at the same hotel on 5th Ave. When we tried to cancel the reservations we could not do it online. We filled out the online form for a call back from Travelocity. After speaking with them for over 30 minutes we were told they would call us back with a cancellation confirmation. 12 hours later we still had no confirmation.

    We went through the entire process again only to be told there was no record that we called earlier. Again we were told they could not give us a confirmation until they talked directly to the hotel. We spoke with a supervisor for 15 minutes only to be disconnected (by mistake?). We still have no confirmation number but are contacting our credit card company to dispute the charges. I only rated Travelocity with one star because zero was not possible. Please don't use Travelocity. You may be sorry.

    I booked a flight: PHL (Philly) -> MCO (Orlando) -> PHL yesterday afternoon, on Frontier Airline as it happens. Checked email late last night and found Travelocity booked TTN (Trenton) -> MCO -> PHL. I never saw nor would have accepted the change of departure airport. There are no sane connections from where I live to the TTN airport - no buses, airport limos or trains, and it's over 50 miles away. I can't drive to one to one airport, park, and return to the other over 40 miles away. I can't reach any friends who will be in town to drive me, though I spent today trying. TTN was noted in the fine print but in 60 years of flying I've never had an airport switch made and it blindsided me. Such a switch should have been emphasized to any customer.

    Phoned Travelocity to cancel that reservation this afternoon, and spent time on hold, then time with agent, only to be told I had to deal with Frontier, not Travelocity. The Kicker: the Filipino(?) agents for Frontier, after more time on hold, told me that because of the time I'd spent on hold and talking to Travelocity, I was several minutes over the 24 hour time limit for canceling. Further, as Travelocity had booked each leg separately, cancellation fees of $99 would apply per leg: for my $208 ticket it would cost $150-$198 to cancel.

    I'm flying PHL MCO 12 times a year. Will I use Travelocity again? Emphatically NO unless there's some benevolent resolution of this. Will I fly Frontier again? Unlikely: their policies & Customer Service are horrid: tedious charges, inflexible policies, hold times & poor microphones that make their agents a pain to understand. I'm appalled at how this has run out... Had a better image of American companies.

    A TALE OF BUSINESS WRONGS. Last year, I paid for a pair of honeymoon tickets to Italy for my fiancee and I using Travelocity. I also purchased travel insurance and protection, in case I needed to cancel for any reason. Later, I had that reason when my fiancee made an inappropriate decision outside of the relationship and we cancelled the wedding (and trip). But, this was not the end of hurtful things.

    Travelocity made a series of incomplete disclosures about rules for using the credit. Each time I called them, the rules became more restrictive. First, I found out that the refund. Then, I found out that it could only be used on United flights. During the most recent call, they disclosed that it is United's policy to only provide airfare credit for the value of *my* ticket. My ex's airfare credit could not be recouped to me (the purchaser). To be clear: my ex did not pay for the trip and she did everything to lose entitlement to it.

    Travelocity failed to compensate for the loss of my ex's ticket value. I then contacted United about this situation, since the airfare credit and policies are theirs. I informed them that even if they could not transfer the flight credit to my name (for legal reasons), I would accept a refund, voucher of equal value, or any equitable solution. This doesn't just make moral sense, it makes business sense: A retained customer will spend more over their lifetime. A middle manager at United stated that she could not make such concessions. She further refused to escalate my concerns to a higher authority who might be able to. She also insisted that she did not have contact with a higher supervisor. (Really?)

    As it stands, both Travelocity and United have both stonewalled. My ex, whom is morally unentitled, still holds the airfare credit which I paid for. Since Travelocity's representatives have also failed to make this right, I've left feedback for both parties. I don't ask for anything unreasonable: Just equitable compensation for the money that I spent on this trip and protected. Most of us have an innate sense that there is something wrong about this situation. Yet, all of the representatives at Travelocity and United won't go far enough to right that wrong. Until Travelocity and/or United make this right, then I will make it my mission to inform every traveler I know of my story. Thank you for reading.

    BEWARE if you book an international flight with layovers. I had a return flight from Serbia to USA and they scheduled me for a 1 hour 15 minute layover in Paris. I learned the hard way that this was absolutely absurd. The (very helpful) people with Air France all told me that was insane and totally unrealistic at that particular airport, and a minimum of 2 hours was required. It took me an hour just to get through security after which it was impossible to sprint through a huge airport to get to my next gate in time. I ended up missing my flight and was stranded in a foreign country thanks to Travelocity.

    When I called them to complain, the person I spoke with was very polite but told me they would do absolutely nothing for me (they just blamed Air France for the problem). They also told me that "our system indicates a minimum time of 1 hour at Charles de Gaulle airport and your layover was 1 hour 15 minutes, so it should be ok." I demanded either a partial refund or for them to put me up in a hotel, which they flatly refused.

    I understand that problems happen, but they didn't even do anything to make up for it, other than blame Air France (those people went above and beyond to get me home, btw). If you ever book an international flight, just understand that Travelocity's scheduler does not apply realistic times to layovers! I personally think they calculate that based on domestic flights, and don't take security into consideration, so don't trust their layovers when it comes to international travel.

    I made flight arrangements from Chicago to Killeen Texas to see my daughter for thanksgiving. Her husband is in the army. Last Wednesday November 4th, my elderly father had a heart attack and had to go through a triple bypass. I called to cancel my flight as he will need round the clock care for the next few weeks only to be told I can't get my money back but I could get a voucher. I informed them I paid with my credit card and I want my credit back on my cards not a voucher I will never use as I'm moving to Texas in the spring and my daughter I'd coming here for Christmas.

    I then told them it was a medical emergency so they told me I had to call the company that provided the insurance and file a claim. I informed them, "I bought the ticket with you, you call them and handle it or have them call me as I'm sitting in a ICU IN A HOSPITAL TRYING TO KEEP MY FATHER ALIVE." They said no. I asked for her supervisor and after 45 minutes, she said no so I asked for her supervisor and 40 minutes later I talked to Corp customer service and she treated me like a fool. So I asked for her boss and she said I can't go any higher than her. I quickly informed her that she has a boss and I want to talk to them. She said I could file a return call from a lead CS Rep but it would take 6 to 8 weeks to call me back. I said, "So I paid you, took out the insurance, need to cancel and want my money back and you refuse to help me?" She said that is how it is done.

    So after all that, they NEVER DID CANCEL MY FLIGHT! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. I don't care if I have to pay a penalty. I just want my money back and not a voucher I will never use. I want the president of Travelocity /Expedia.Com name as number so I can call him and Complain as well.

    Booked a round trip to Europe through Travelocity, which ended up using two different airlines for the outbound and the return flight. When I needed to make a change to the itinerary Travelocity decided to charge me the change fee ($300) for each leg of the trip, regardless of the fact that it was one trip itinerary! This outrageous practice renders their service value completely useless, as the changes would be substantially cheaper if I booked through these airlines directly. I would strongly advise any travelers to stay away from this site and its services.

    I travel frequently. In this case, I purchased a return ticket. The airline/Travelocity changed the return flight... (laughably so I would get off the first flight and then back onto the 2nd within 35 minutes). The return flight still existed and had seats (I checked with the airline), so I requested to be placed back on the original flight. 1h 45m later, I was asked to pay 310 dollars to change the ticket back (the original ticket was 255). Despite this being their change, they wanted me to pay for it... Something about the airline's faulty!!! Absolutely disgusted in how they treat customers. I have used them without much problem in the past, but boy oh boy, for them to change my ticket without my permission (that can happen, so ok) but to then demand a ridiculous payment to get the original ticketed flight again is utterly outrageous...

    I really wish there was a negative star review!!! I am not a regular person when it comes to reviews but after being cheated by websites like Travelocity.com and Hotwire.com, I felt I should write reviews so no one else faces the situation I faced. I will limit my review to travelocity.com here. These guys are blood suckers. They check your patience to the core. The sales and customer care people are trained to repeat the sentences like, "We totally understand your problem!", "I am trying to help you", etc.

    What happened? I booked a king bed ocean facing room at Maui Beach Hotel using Travelocity.com. When I ended up at the hotel, the front desk tells me they have a confirmation only for a queen bed or 2 double beds. I usually would take one of it and leave it as is, but this was the second website I was cheated (first one being hotwire.com). I decided to take it up with their sales guys (my wife hates me for this as the conversation went for the next 3 hours). The guys kept transferring the calls to their supervisors and no one was ready to come up with a solution. I asked them, "I have paid you guys the money so you guys sort it out with front desk." They acted like they would talk to the front desk and came back saying there has been some confusion. I got really mad at them and asked to transfer to a manager who could listen to all these audio conversations and help me out.

    So the 6th guy finally says he would explain to the manager and put me on hold for 45 more mins. I finally gave up and hung the call. I noted the series of guys whom I talked to and mentioning them here: Sharon, Ramon, Simon - Sales Representatives; Kevin, Harry - Supervisors. I really hope these guys stop playing with customer's money and emotions! For anyone who reads this post, do not dare to book your vacation using Travelocity.com or hotwire.com. If you do then be ready to compromise on a lot of things in spite of paying them the money.

He called Travelocity and spent 5 hours over the phone saying that they will change his flight, making him extend one day in Shanghai, which he did not plan to. He was promised to be called within 2-3 business days but never heard from them at all within 6 days of wait. He was really upset that come his departure date to Bangkok, still nothing was resolved. I called them today (10/29/2015) and spent almost 8 hours on the phone, got disconnected almost 10x, put on excessive hold and cold transferred to China Eastern airline rep which was unnecessary.

    The representative from China Eastern told me that they cannot cancel the segment of the itinerary because they need to talk to the Travelocity rep but I told them, they transferred me. I had to call about 8x, reiterating my issue, spoke with 5 different supervisors and no resolutions. Their empathy is so fake and scripted and never even understood what I am trying to tell them. The only thing I needed was to cancel a return flight and be refunded. If I was able to speak with a China Eastern airline rep, why cannot they? The worst customer service ever! To those who are thinking of booking a flight to Travelocity, please, do yourself a favor and book somewhere else. You are just going to waste your time with their lousy customer service.

    Attention: Travelocity Customer Relations, Just had the most HORRIBLE customer service experience with the Travelocity customer service number. I went to Travelocity.com to book a very simple routine one day business trip from NYC to Chicago, and it turned into a 3 hour ordeal, and a double booking. It started with me trying to book my trip online... I tried to book my very simple 2 passenger $1000 trip for over half hour on their website to no avail due to an error message during checkout. I then proceeded to call their customer service number where the agent on the phone was getting the same error. After a lengthy call that consisted of the agent trying to book my trip while trying to sell me a rental car, travelers insurance and trying to get me to download the app instead of trying to resolve the issue in a timely fashion, the agent put me on hold.

    Eventually the agent realized that she was getting the same error message. After placing me on hold for a long period of time, she realized that this error was happening because the link on the website was an inactive link. She then continued to place me back on hold (at this time the call was about 45 minutes long). While on hold, and the agent did not tell me what was going on, and I was able to book my room from the website by selecting a different room type. Since I was on hold for an excessive amount of time, the only reason I stayed on the line was to let the agent know that I no longer needed their help... I could have easily just hung up the phone.

    When the agent returned to the phone, I advised her that I had figured out the problem and no longer needed her services. She then proceeded to tell me "it would only be a bit more time", the same phrase that she had been telling me for about 45 minutes. When I declined for second time and told her to no longer proceed since I had figured out the issue on my own, the agent moved forward with the reservation causing me to be Double Booked. I'm not sure why the agent would do this as I clearly said, "I no longer need your help, as I was able to resolve the issue on my own, please do not proceed".

    When I told the agent that now my reservation was double booked, she assured me that there was only one reservation. The agent was trying to rush me off the phone as I tried to check my bank statements and emails, and surely I saw 2 pending charges for the same amount, 2 email confirmations and 2 itineraries on my Travelocity account. Since there was CLEARLY 2 itineraries for this trip, I told her to cancel the one that she had booked on her end, where she told me that she has to charge me a cancellation fee, again as she tried to reassure me that she only saw 1 itinerary under my profile. I told her that there was no way I would pay a cancellation fee for a trip that I clearly noted that I did not want her to book just 5 minutes ago, she told me she was not authorized to do cancels and quickly put me on hold for an excessive amount of time.

    After being on hold for an additional half hour, I decided to call from a second line since I was still at my office while waiting on hold. A second helpful agent was able to assist, but did notice that the previous agent had deleted their name from the double booked itinerary, and had also deleted all notes associated with this itinerary. The second agent was able to easily cancel my double booked trip and was able to provide email confirmations with the totals. The agent explained that they can do this since it was within 24 hours, so not sure why the first agent would even mention that a) there was a fee or b) that she could not cancel the trip.

    As I got off the second line, I went to double check on my trip online, where I discovered that the second agent had canceled the flight from one itinerary and the hotel from the second itinerary, causing 2 incomplete itineraries. At this time, a different agent came back on the original phone line. As I reexplained the entire situation now with adding 2 incomplete itineraries, she confirmed that the agent had made a mistake and I now had 2 incomplete trips. Since I didn't want to risk anything wrong with this trip, I told her I just wanted everything canceled, and I was going to do a fresh new booking.

    The second agent was also able to cancel my hotel to the second itinerary, but was not able to provide me with confirmations with my refund receipt like the previous agent due to her having issues with email. This 3rd agent would frequently put me on hold/mute for 5-10 minutes at a time without warning, and the call would just go silent or with hold music without the issue being resolved. Since I now had no choice but to wait on hold without any clue or why I was placed on hold. As the agent returned to the call, she said to check my emails for confirmations. The emails that I received was just an email stating my itinerary, but not proof of refund like the previous agent was able to provide. While I was waiting for this agent to sent me confirmations on refunds, I got a new email stating that I was being charged over $600 for a flight... When I asked the agent this, she said to disregard this.

    Once the call reached 2 hours and 15 minutes, I could no longer just wait as the agent was "trying to resolve her emails issues"... where she simply just said "ok let me transfer you then"... After going on hold for less than a minute, I received an automated message saying "this call has been inactive for an excessive amount of time and will be disconnected" where the 2 hour and 15 minute call dropped.

    All in all, I spent about 3 hours to book a very simple business trip for $1000 from NY to Chicago, got double booked and was not able to get full confirmation that I was getting my money back. My concern is how could someone who was not as computer savvy in front of a computer and 2 phones be able to handle this issue?!? Many others can easily be double charged and lose money for something like this.

    I book about $20k-$30k in travel a year because I book business trips for my company, and will NEVER be using Travelocity/Expedia for any of my traveling needs ever again. PS - I also had an incident earlier this year, while I was booking a $10,000 trip to Greece where I called the customer service number for some help. I had some questions in regards to my connection, and understood that this booking was time sensitive since my preferred flight only had 6 seats available (I was booking for a party of 5). The agent was so adamant about booking the trip with her, she put the trip on hold even though I told her I had to confirm something with one of the other passengers.

    By doing this, it would not allow me to book online or on other websites as now my preferred flight appeared unavailable, and my next best option was an additional $800 per person. This was a sneaky way to assure that I booked with Travelocity/this agent, as I no longer had the option to book on other websites since they had held down the last available seats.

    Chose "bargain fare" from their website while doing two things at once. Followed through with reservation, San Francisco to Maui round-trip. The bargain fare gives no information prior to booking on the flight times, number of stops, airline or seating choice. Big mistake for me. Called Travelocity immediately and they, after two calls and 40 minutes on hold, could do nothing on a flight over three months away. No cancellation, no credits, no substitutions, no refunds---period. I would have gladly re-booked at the time but no option. This is by far the worst on-line experience I have ever had. Re-booking has cost me over $1,000. That option should never have been on their website to begin with. I have utilized Travelocity 50 times in the past but never again.

    Horrific experience! Our wedding was October 27th of 2012. We asked our guests for Travelocity gift certificates to hopefully enjoy a honeymoon. We received a total of six gift certificates for a total of $575.00. Obviously not having enough money to travel with, I placed these gift certificates in my safe for future use. When I tried to redeem them on October 7th 2015, Travelocity says that they are expired! Yet none of them show an expiration date. In fact they say these are equivalent to cash and to safeguard them accordingly.

    For the past three days I have spoken to everybody in India and have been sent numerous pre formed e-mails explaining how they are not responsible for my expired gift certificates. Not to mention the fact that they no longer offer this type of program. Travelocity's legal defense office is based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Along with a telephone number which tells you it is out of service. This tells me that they must be listed as a LLC company and therefore I am screwed out of my $575.00 in wedding gifts. THANKS TRAVELOCITY! Travelocity is a SCAM! Review your options before you decide to book with an online travel company! For some reason they all seem to have a one star rating on ConsumerAffairs. Which by the way is the worst and most dissatisfied rating.

    I travel a lot but this company is the worst of the worst. I bought a flight ticket and an insurance. I had an emergency and I could not travel. I called them and they said our emergency insurance does not cover your case. It does not really cover much anyway. So I had to cancel the ticket and get credit. Then I had to travel to somewhere. I called to get a ticket. Then I found they have given me different dates than what I wanted. I called again - they said "we are sorry but we cannot do anything about it." The best part is that I had to pay extra $300 just to change my flight. Somewhere else I found a ticket for the same price. So, I ended up paying $700 for a ticket that does not cost more than $300 if I went with other companies. I am very unhappy with their service and I do not wish anyone go through what I went...

    I booked hotel space on 9/29 via Travelocity Website, and received a "Hot Hotel Deals" email today, 10/8. The price of the same room booked on 9/29 was discounted by $18 per room night. I called twice to see how to request an amended price. The last call told me that the guarantee price was based on a 24 hour window, from the time I booked. The customer service rep kept telling me that I wasn't eligible for a price match due to company policy, but couldn't tell me where the policy was stated on the website. All I know is that I'm not going to get the price match and there is no room for discussion, end of story. I have since unsubscribed, as this is not the only issue I've had with Travelocity.

    I booked a trip for my daughter & I to go visit my mother in CT. When I printed the boarding passes, they were completely different flights! When I called (the first time) they just told me that American Airlines has been making a lot of changes! And why I was never connected... well according to Travelocity it was the airline's fault! But, it gets worse... I wanted to cancel the hotel since I would not need to stay in one with the new tickets. The rep put me on hold and never came back to the phone. So I called back and talk to somebody that sounded like the same person that I had talk to the first time and once again said "I have to have you on the line when I call the hotel to cancel your reservation," and once again I was on hold!

    WARNING: TRAVELOCITY IS A SCAM!!! If anyone is considering travel in the near future, I got stung badly by an online agent - Travelocity. I was directed to the site using an Australian Google when searching for Australian domestic flights. They guaranteed to be the cheapest. After accepting a quote, I received an itinerary by email AFTER payment occurred... Suddenly then being informed the quote was in US currency. The problem occurs when you book through their mobile website, which, unlike their full website, doesn't display any information about the currency you are being priced at. Out of pocket several hundred dollars, and not happy.

    Even after spending 2 hours on the phone with them on an international call at cost to me, I was prepared to provided photo evidence of how a booking occurs using their mobile website where it doesn't show the currency anywhere, but the company isn't interested in seeing my evidence and claims it's not their responsibility, and that I should have known they are American... Mind you, they deal internationally worldwide and offer Domestic flights within Australia. Why would anyone in any country presume they are American??? They are refusing to issue a refund.

    I tried to reserve a flight. They sent me an email stating that the ticket had not been process yet. That they would send me a confirmation in 24 hrs once they would talk to the airlines. The next email never came. I tried calling and getting them to change the ticket but they said that the 24 hrs had expired (even if the ticket was not confirmed via email). I needed to change it since my husband had an emergency procedure and I had to move my flight 2 days. They made them wait for over an hour, only to say no and to give ridiculous excuses as to why they did not send another email confirming the ticket. They claimed it was the customer's responsibility to look at the online itinerary after 24 hrs. Though it does NOT state that on the email. How sad that this company that once was great is now AWFUL.

    Worst travel experience ever and it wasn't even MY travel experience. My mother was visiting me in CA from the midwest when she became ill. We spent 12 hours in the ER and they found her to have a fairly serious illness but didn't need to admit her. However, the doctor did say she should not travel until her infection clears up. So, we tried to change her itinerary online at Travelocity, but there was no way to do it, at least no clear way. I called 4 times, gave all the information at least 2 times for each call and finally on the 4th call asked for a manager. I was on hold waiting for a manager for nearly an hour.

    Meanwhile I looked online to check out Travelocity's review... BAD,BAD, BAD!!! Mostly 1 star, mostly customer service related due to changes or mistakes Travelocity had made, most either unresolved or people waiting months for a refund. Many were on the phone for hours at a time with customer service and various managers.

    I got cut off 3 times and when I finally did reach Anna **, a manager, she informed me that the insurance my mother purchased so that she would be able to change her flight if she needed to stay longer was only for health reasons (which of course this was) and that we needed a letter from the attending physician to submit to the insurance company and then maybe we would get a refund, otherwise it would cost us $200 for the change.

    Finally, after explaining to this manager that the whole reason for buying flight insurance was to avoid this hassle she said that the policies come from the airlines. I said if they knew this was the policy they ought to make it clear when a person is purchasing the insurance, she said, "I don't know." I gave up and told her to cancel the current flight home for my mom and book a new one for several days out. She was about to put me on hold to get me an agent and I said "no way", I am not going to be on hold again and that she needed to book the flight herself right then. She argued a bit then the line went silent. I waited and asked a couple times if she were still there and finally she said she was and then rather irritatedly told me she was arranging the new flight. DO NOT USE TRAVELOCITY, THEY ARE UNHELPFUL AT BEST AND DOWNRIGHT DISHONEST AT WORST.

When I called to switch the flights, I was told the cancellation insurance only covers instances of medical emergencies, nothing else. After 90 minutes of wrangling, they gave me a credit of $135 AFTER CHARGING A $200 CHANGE FEE!

    Three weeks later, I called back to use the credit. Another hour on the phone dealing with incompetent customer service that did not communicate well in English, and they denied the credit claiming the destination, airline, and passenger all had to be the exactly the same as the initial flight.

Never received my email confirmation, and at the end of the trip was charged over $200 in overage because apparently the promotion was for 70 miles for the entire trip. When I contacted Sixt, they said others were having the same issue, but I needed to resolve through Travelocity. A supervisor at Travelocity authorized the credit, but then corporate overrode it stating that they had screenshots of my entire booking experience showing that I signed up for 70 miles total. OK great, send those to me to ease my mind. Nope, the only way to get the screenshots is to subpoena them?! This seems to me that they have something to hide. I'm done using this company.

    This is possibly the worst travel agency I've ever seen.

Then "Jasmin" an offshore supervisor hanged up on me without calling back even though she had my number all along and had called me back before when I asked for a supervisor in the first place. All for no good reason and ruining what was left of our vacation.

    Kudos to US Airways for owning the problem and arrange the flight back home at no cost to us, and resolving the issue very fast. Without a supervisor, or long hold times, or excuses. That's how you do business in my book. To those wanting to use this type of companies (they are part of Expedia), don't. You are better off booking your flight directly with the airlines even if that means you have to spend a little more.

    I booked a stay for my family at Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky because they had a great room deal for Sept. 20 to the 21st. The price includes waterpark passes and hotel. My itinerary confirmed the reservation with the hotel. I called the facility the Friday before our trip to see if there were any room upgrades, which is something you can frequently do at a good price. The lady at GW informed me that they weren't even going to be open, they were closing the 20th for renovations! How is it possible to book a room for a night that the hotel is not operating?? GW told me they do not get any info from Travelocity other than the name of the reservation. This is ridiculous! What if I hadn't called and packed my family up and wasted my gas driving all the way there to find out we were not able to stay? Unacceptable. GW should have communicated to Travelocity and someone should have notified us.

    Then came the problem getting a refund. It should've been easy. The facility was not going to be open on the day I booked, not my fault. I should get a refund, no questions asked. This was not the case. I was put on hold while they called the hotel to confirm what I was saying was true, then told me since I was not within GW's 48 hour cancellation time, I could not be refunded 100%. Are you kidding me? I literally had to spell it out for the agent. I was not canceling because of something on my part, THE FACILITY WAS NOT GOING TO BE OPEN!! He then transferred me to a reservation agent who tried to reschedule it. I didn't want to reschedule, I just wanted my money back. Plain and simple.

    She then put me on hold to contact the facility to see if my story was true, but instead of being put on hold, she transferred my call to GW. I called back again and had to recount the entire story a third time as well as saying I did not want to reschedule, I just wanted every penny I paid back. This agent finally agreed to a full refund, then asked if I had downloaded their mobile app to book my future trips. Please. I'm never using Travelocity again.

The mistake was the booking was actually for the 28th of August, not the 19th of August. The person whom I've spoke that day said no problem, he will help me. He cancelled the hotel booking and that credit came back into my account. He also said when I am ready to rebook to call Travelocity and give my Itinerary number and they will be able to re-book for me and that I had one year to use the credit. I asked him, "Will there be any fees associated for re-booking?" He said NO and that I am not to call the airline because they will charge you additional fee of $50.00. He said "I should call Travelocity directly and that I just have to pay the difference on the ticket."

    The example he gave me was since I have a credit of $200 and if I saw a ticket for $220 that I just pay the difference of the $20.00. I then asked is that all what is entailed. He said "Yes." Call ended. A couple of days later I tried rebooking, the whole story changed. I was told that I had to pay additional $200 per ticket plus the difference. I told him what I was advised by the previous Agent. He came back and said, "He should not have advised you of that. This is our policy." I spoke to several people plus a supervisor who could not even speak English properly said the same. I then asked if anyway possible I could get a refund. She said "NO."

Imagine being told by one of the Travelocity agents a refund was being processed and would be received in 5 business days, only to call back and find out no such thing is even in their system.

    BE SAFE. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. It's not worth the headache and loss of your hard earned money. Anyone want to join me in a class action lawsuit? You will need a month long vacation after trying to deal with this company. It truly gives the travel industry a bad name. It was the first time I used them and vow it will be the last. (While writing this review I was on hold and guess what... DISCONNECTED AGAIN.) Agent did however call me back. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 8:30 AM ON AND OFF AND IT'S NOW 12:45 PM, I'm on hold again AND IT IS STILL NOT RESOLVED....

    My son booked a flight to Dominica. 2 days later after a family emergency he had no cell service so I was calling them to get him a flight home immediately. The people kept transferring me and leaving me on hold for over 45 min at a time. After 4 hours on the phone I was told they don't have an agreement with American Airlines, that my son would have to go to the ticket desk and transfer himself. So this little island has 1 airport. And guess what? American Airlines does not serve that island!!! Then they had him flying to Barbados and that airport has NO AIRLINES going to Barbados! Then because the idiots I had to endure for 4 hours had cancelled all his original flights! End of the day - funeral was planned around his flights home and I had to reinstate his itinerary.

    Customer Service: Learn English! Speak Clearly. Know what you are booking and where! Never leave a "valued customer" on hold for more than 5 minutes. If you don't know what to do, get someone that does know! Never transfer to someone that speaks worse English than you! Learn how to do the job within 30 minutes! I am sure this is not the first time someone needed to return home so quickly so I fail to understand the complete incompetence of the service people!

    On 8/10, made a hotel reservation. The best rate for the property was $161.46 plus taxes for a single queen. This rate was clearly noted as non-refundable. The website stated there was a best rate guarantee for the first 48 hours or 2 days prior to arrival, which is 9/1. On 8/20 I found on their website rooms starting at $110.00 and the SGL Queens sold out. This property listed as available rooms with 2 queens, kings, sofa beds, suites, etc. - all well below what I paid. I assumed the best rate guarantee was compared to what I actually paid versus the cost of a room that is equal or better. Travelocity denied my request for refund, citing that single queens were sold out. You be the judge on their policy.

    I had to cancel a flight to Atlanta a few days ago, and Travelocity took $200 and only gave me $100 credit for a $326 ticket I purchased last week. I called to make a complaint since on my account it shows that I still was charged the total amount. I called and the representative told me that they couldn't refund my ticket and it would be a $200 fee to rebook at a later date and I had to use the same airline when I rebook! I was shocked because if you go on the site to book a flight they randomly give you different airlines based on availability. I also spoke with a supervisor who repeated what the representative said. The high fees for a cancellation are outrageous and it's cheaper to go directly to the airlines to book a flight. Customer satisfaction is the last concern for Travelocity.

    DO NOT BOOK TRAVELOCITY!! I have booked my travel with Travelocity, and they don't even treat me like a customer at all. I booked a stay at The Westin Hotel Crystal City, Washington, D.C. on 8/4/2015. When I arrived, the hotel did not check me in because I had lost my credit card (I already prepaid everything when I booked). I have tried everything I could by showing them my debit card, ATM card, all kind of IDs I had (all in my name), offered to pay $1000 in cash for deposit; and they just refused to let me in. When I asked them for a refund since they had not let me in, They said my reservation was not refundable. Even though I felt terrible at that time, I just nicely walked out of the hotel, went to the one next by, paid $400 with my debit card without any trouble (which is a lot cheaper if I booked in advance).

    So I called Travelocity and explained how I could not get in the hotel and they said: "Too bad, but your reservation is NON-REFUNDABLE." I asked them: "So even though I booked a travel, and the hotel just kicked me out of the door, I still have to pay them?" They said, "That is CORRECT" and CALL ENDED. I take vacation every month and have never experienced anything like this in my life. This is such a scam and I will never give up to let everybody know how Travelocity treated their customer. DON'T EVER BOOK YOUR TRAVEL WITH TRAVELOCITY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE CHARGED AND KICKED OUT OF A HOTEL SAYING: "Your trip is not refundable, you still pay even if we don't let you in!"

    Original Review: Aug. 15, 2015

    I booked a flight, car, and hotel reservation through Travelocity. I called the 800 number, as I wanted to be sure that there would be no mistakes. We wanted to leave July 31st, so we could spend 2 days in Vancouver, BC. There was an evening flight from Savannah, Ga. leaving at 7:01 pm, which would have put us in at 12:01 am on August 1st. A few days before leaving I wanted to verify our information and saw that our flight was booked at 7:01 pm on August 1st, not the 31st of July. I asked her about arriving so early on the 1st of August and she said we could check in early for our hotel. I called the hotel about 2 weeks before our trip and found out I needed a room for the 31st of July, I booked and paid for it directly with the hotel. She had put notes in to that effect that we would have an early arrival and would be picking up our rental car by 12:30 am on August 1st. Why would she book our flight out at 7 pm on August 1st???

    When I realized the mistake on the airline booking I called Travelocity and they would do nothing about it, even with the notes in the system by the person that originally booked our trip. I did not mind paying the additional $139.00 for the room for the Friday the 31st of July arrival, as I know hotels usually have a 3 pm check in. I ended up calling US Airways and paying an additional $1200.00 to change our flight to the 31st of July, as we had already booked excursions in Vancouver and relatives were coming from Seattle, Washington to meet us in Vancouver.

    Our cruise was leaving Monday for Alaska, and we had never been to Vancouver so we wanted to come in early and tour the city. I clicked and viewed my itinerary online, it showed we were leaving on the 31st of July. It showed August 1st on part of it, but we arrived on August 1st. I want to be reimbursed for the flight change I paid for, $1200.00.

    Travelocity was my go-to travel booking site for many years. About 5 years ago, I booked a flight traveling in the opposite direction by accident. They were able to help me cancel the flight using their 24 hour cancellation policy. I was so grateful. This quality of service, unfortunately has changed. This time I tried to cancel a flight within 1 hour. The first customer service representative had no idea how to help me or explain why it could not be cancelled. I asked to speak with a manager, who gave me the explanation that they had no control over this particular airlines' policies. I asked if I could speak with his manager. After an hour more, I spoke with a woman at corporate headquarters, who told me the same thing. It brings up two important questions that we as consumers should ponder when booking travel:

    Why book on a travel site that has no ability to give customer service? Wouldn't they want to uphold their standards and control over the customer experience? Why does it take 1+ hours before you are able to speak to someone who may not be able to help you? Two too many questions for me to continue using the service of Travelocity. I think it would be wise advice for everyone to book directly with the airline carrier. This is hard enough to navigate, without a middleman as well.

    On July 15th, I booked a 2-night stay in a hotel in Sitia, Crete, and I was sent a hotel booking confirmation by Travelocity via e-mail with an itinerary number. Now, three weeks later, I want to review my hotel booking before flying to Crete, and when I click on the 'Go To My Itinerary' link near the top of the e-mail (in a green box) and put in my e-mail address and itinerary number that I was sent, the system tells me, "You may have entered an unknown email address or an incorrect itinerary number." I double and triple check to make sure the information is correct, and try a few more times to access my itinerary, but I keep getting the same message.

    I call customer service and, when asked for my information to confirm my identity (name, e-mail address, and phone number), they indicated that the information I provided did not pass the security screening step. What? I provided them with all the same information that I used to book my trip and they tell me it doesn't match what they have in the system. The lady representative then advises that I call back another time with the "correct" information so that they can assist me. I informed her that I had already given her the correct information and that my credit card information was also taken when I booked the hotel. She did not care about that. I then asked to speak with a manager, and after waiting for 15 minutes for a manager to get on the phone, the phone line went dead. I don't plan on calling them back, just blocking any Travelocity charges from going through on my credit card.

    If you plan to use Travelocity to book a hotel, please make sure to confirm that your itinerary is valid and call up the hotel to ensure that the reservation has been made with them. Otherwise, I would not go through the trouble of booking with Travelocity, as you'll probably end up losing more money than you thought you saved by not booking elsewhere! If I hadn't checked my itinerary to see that my reservation did not exist, I would have showed up at the hotel in Sitia, Crete, expecting a room that was unavailable (and I probably would have been charged by Travelocity on top of that)! I now have to look for another hotel to book, and it surely will not be through Travelocity! Really unfortunate!

    Booked a vacation package on Travelocity and on the night of arrival, the hotel is sold out! We had a red eye flight and so it was after midnight when I had to go to another hotel with 2 young children in tow. Travelocity had a "guaranteed room available due to late arrival" on their website but when I mentioned it to the hotel manager he did not know anything about it. When I called Travelocity the following day the agent told me that there is nothing they can do and it's out of their control. Then Travelocity should NOT guarantee anything if there is nothing they can do for their customers when they get turned away in the middle of the night because the hotel had sold out!!! Remember, this is a hotel room that I already PAID for in full weeks before my trip. The hotel had made amends, upgraded us and all that but it was still a major inconvenience for us.

    THEN on our flight back we were given different seat assignments, my 2 young children were seated far from me on their own. They are 9 and 11 years old! I complained to the airline and was told that the seat assignment that I have on my Travelocity confirmation email was denied a long time ago and I should have been advised by Travelocity that I did not have those seat assignment. Called Travelocity again and was told that this is out of their control and there is nothing they can do about it. THEN WHY LET YOUR CUSTOMER BOOK ON YOUR WEBSITE AND SEND THEM CONFIRMATION FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU CANNOT GUARANTEE OR HAVE ANY CONTROL OF.

    By this time I was already very infuriated and demanded to speak to a manager. I was told that it will take 45 minutes for me to do that and NO the manager will not call me, I have to hold for 45 minutes and wait. I was on our way to the airport by this time because my husband wanted to check in really early so we can get the boys seated with us. My call was dropped or I lost the signal along the way and I figured I am just wasting my time since I did not get any empathy at all from the agents that I spoke to.

Received confirmation from hotel that reservations were made but not confirmation of payment from Travelocity or $100 credit for next use of Travelocity.

    I'm currently in the process of moving from Nevada to Florida for my grad school program. On July 11th, I booked through Travelocity my hotel stay for when I arrived in Florida since I don't have an apartment set up yet. I also had my cat with me, so a pet friendly hotel was important. During my travels, I had a car incident and was stuck in another state. I contacted Travelocity and explained that I would need to edit my reservation for check in to be the following day due to my current issue. Agent changed my reservation and I sent a confirmation email about the changes. I arrive at the hotel in Florida (after driving all day) and the hotel couldn't find my reservation in the system. I explained the situation to the hotel agent and they said they never received the reservation change from Travelocity. Since I didn't arrive the day before, my hotel reservation was then cancelled (oh and now the hotel is sold out).

    I contacted Travelocity about the issue and the Travelocity agent said that he would reimburse my hotel stay, but minus the hotel's fee for "no show". I asked "Why would I be charged for an error on your side?" The agent explained that it's hotel policy and that there's nothing he could do about it. I was transferred to a supervisor where I explained the issue again. The supervisor gave me attitude about the whole situation. I explained that I did everything you're supposed to do and now I'm out of a hotel room for the next week with my cat and now not getting a full refund. After some time, the supervisor agreed to give me my full refund back. She nor did the original agent apologize for this error on their part. The whole time they pretty much blamed me and I even explained that I have a confirmation email with my changes. She said that didn't matter in this situation.

    At the end, the supervisor asked if she could schedule me a current stay through Travelocity. I declined and told her "You're out of your mind" and "I'll be out of a hotel again." I've had great experiences with them in the past, but this was it. No courtesy or understanding. I'm sure I probably wasn't the greatest person to be on the phone with, but after driving 14 hours to show up to no hotel room is pretty upsetting. I've now had to pay out twice for the hotel and will have to wait at least a week for my refund to be back in my account. Never again Travelocity.

    I cannot believe how this business manages to stay around!! They suggest the customer buy insurance in case they have a medical or personal emergency. When purchasing the ticket, I mentioned that I need a wheelchair to board and deplane. I was unable to take the flight because of excruciating back pain, I couldn't move without screaming in pain - they still charged me 75% more from my original ticket!! "Take it up with the insurance company," they stated. I asked about the airline and they said, "It's policy." WARNING: DO NOT USE TRAVELOCITY OR THE INSURANCE!!

    Booked a hotel and flight reservation by phone, agreeing to $2,706.20. When I received a receipt online confirming charges, they tagged on an additional $440.62, which I never agreed to. I contacted my American Express Wells Fargo Card dispute resolution. They closed the case, concluding that the additional charge was for booking fees. I never agreed to such fees, and would not have agreed to the total amount charged of $4,137.40. My issue is with Travelocity by adding additional charges never agreed to and telling W. Fargo these are their usual booking fees. Such fees should be agreed to by the customer rather than tacked on after the fact.

    15 Feb 2015, booked round-trip flight from Kansas City to Italy for travel 18 Jul 2015 via Travelocity website. Provided Passport info (#, expiration date) at time of booking. The route to and from included Chicago US, Toronto CN, Frankfurt GR, and Turin IT. The flight booked successfully, at a cost of just over $1700. Arrived at MCI on time, 18 Jul. My boarding pass was denied due to insufficient days prior to expiration to accommodate travel through Germany, which requires 90 days beyond the departure from the country. (Also, France requires 6 mos validity past departure date from country.) Rebooking the flight would require an immediate passport renewal - not an option. If I couldn't travel on the itinerary/ticket, how did the flight get booked in the first place?

    I'm attempting to negotiate a refund with both Travelocity and United (and will likely have to contact the other two airlines involved in the full itinerary). After three calls to Travelocity, two of which were greater than 45 minutes in length during which I intermittently sat on hold for much more of the time than I spent talking with an agent, I am awaiting a call-back from a corporate manager... in 7-10 business days. Meanwhile, the next time I travel internationally, I will use a (human) travel agent. Domestically, I will go directly to the airline.

    I've been trying to call customer service for THREE days! Their system is ALWAYS "down". They say "please call back in an hour" EVERY hour of EVERY day. There is a charge to cancel or change reservations if it is less than 3 days from the date of travel. I needed to change the car rental six days before arrival. How convenient that their system is constantly down so that customers cannot cancel or change reservations. Quite ridiculous considering I was looking to UPGRADE, not cancel. Instead, I had to call my credit card company to stop payment altogether. I will never work with Travelocity again and will continuously tell people of my experience.

    Booked our trip 12/18/14 for a trip beginning 7/12/15. The itinerary stated, no need to follow up, booking has been confirmed. We arrived for our flight to find out, the flight was canceled 4 months prior & we were never contacted. The airline stated they notified Travelocity & it was their responsibility to notify us, because we were dealing w/ a third party. We had to re-schedule our flight for the following day. We were out an entire day of our vacation, travel time, expenses & vacation time we utilized from work. When attempting to rectify the error hours on wait, intentional dropped calls, passed from supervisor to supervisor explaining the problem numerous times. 4 days prior to the end of our trip, we received an email by Travelocity re: Your flight details have changed w/ a confirmation # for the following day and cancelled 2 of our flights.

    We made a trip to the airport to find out that was not correct and our original schedule was never changed. That cost an additional day to rectify this problem. Travelocity denied the changes, we had to email the proof because of their denial. Then were informed the cooperate manager would notify us within 72 hrs, 4 days later we contacted Travelocity to experience the initial treatment when trying to rectify the error & never received the promised return call to rectify the problem. They refused to take accountability for their errors and intentionally treated us w/ infinite redirection to frustrate & deter us, hoping we will stop trying to contact Travelocity. Bottom line, we lost out on our first day of vacation and had we followed the itinerary they sent us regarding the change to our return flight, we would have missed our plane. Travelers beware.

    I'm so upset! I booked a cruise through Travelocity. I did it over the phone. I was told about the on-board credit but was never instructed on how to redeem it. I happened to investigate myself by going online only to discover that I was not eligible. I called and was told by the agent that I WAS qualified and the promotions department would call me back. No call. Again -- poor/unclear communication. The $750 credit was the main reason we booked the cruise. There was no service recovery of any sort. I'm SO upset! The supervisor on the phone was not sympathetic and did nothing to try to help me. I'm SO upset!

    I made air travel reservations with Travelocity with multiple destinations. I am flying to Istanbul Turkey arriving there on Sept 30. I board a cruise on Oct. 2. I will fly back to US on Oct 11 from Athens, Greece. I made a hotel reservation for two nights in Istanbul for Sept 30 and Oct 1. Unknown to me the Travelocity site defaulted to Sept 30 - Oct 11 at a cost of over $1900. At the point where I believed I could review that reservation prior to booking the two nights in Istanbul, it booked and charged me. I immediately attempted to get Travelocity to correct this. Travelocity informed me the hotel won't cancel and will charge the full $1900 as the penalty. When I spoke with Travelocity they were unable to reach a supervisor and essentially told me they could not help and that I should contact the hotel. It was the fault of Travelocity and they are the ones with whom I have the dispute! What should be my next step?

    Asked Travelocity to change my car reservation with Dollar in Barcelona. They called Dollar and had it all set. Got to Barcelona and the reservation had been cancelled. No car. Waited two hours to get car from another rental car company at almost twice the cost. I am now on the phone with the customer service dept on another matter and I have been waiting and waiting. If you call to make a reservation they will answer in two rings. Getting customer support is very difficult. I have been using them for years and they have kept going downhill.

    First off booked a flight and hotel thru Travelocity to Austin Texas from Atlanta Ga. I called them and talked with a rep to change my hotel and they charged me. Then I saw up to the room and it's not in their system so I have to pay again out of my pocket. Ok. Then I'm headed home two days later. Get to the airport and they don't have me in the system. Then I call to try to get a new flight but I'm on hold for soooo long that the last three flights leaving for all have departed while he's still got me on hold to talk to a supervisor. I'm on hold now while I'm typing this.

    My girl is frantically trying to find us a place to sleep and try not to lose our jobs since we have to stay in Texas an extra freaking night. Plus on top of that they keep saying it's the airlines policy to charge an additional 200$ per passenger to even rebook me on a different flight. This has been pure hell. I can't believe they put me and mines thru this horrible ordeal because they ** up my flights and hotels.

    I had a question about flight travel protection. I purchased a trip for my daughters family to come here for Christmas. My son-in-law is an active duty marine so I purchased flight protection. After buying their tickets, I see the protection only covers illness. Other insurances cover many other things that can happen - such as a military deployment. I called Travelocity and was told wait time over 2 hours. I opted to have them call me. When I picked up the phone, a recording told me to have correct person on line. I was then told I was being transferred to a representative. I then heard nothing but a dial tone.

    We booked our trip to Canada through Travelocity for flight, hotel, and car rental. When I booked the trip, I called Travelocity's customer service to confirm that I would be able to use my VISA debit card to book everything because we don't use credit cards. I was assured by the Travelocity rep that I could use my debit card for everything so I completed the booking. When we arrived in Canada, we were denied our car rental by Avis because they said they do not accept debit cards. They explained that this is their policy and there wasn't anything they could do to help us even though the rental was paid for 4 months prior).

    The Avis rep advised me that Alamo takes debit cards, and Alamo told me they don't but National would. I confirmed this with National. I called Travelocity and waited almost an hour to speak to someone to see if they could transfer our booking since it was already paid for. I spoke with Jenny and she transferred me to a "supervisor" named Al (ID Al ** is what he told me) who said he couldn't even find National at that location (Vancouver Airport), although they advertise National on their website for that location.

    He also said they couldn't do anything to help us, only refund our money in 2-5 days. We had to spend over $400 of our vacation money to rent the car ourselves from National. We did receive the refund while still on our vacation but had to spend money we did not budget for because National was more expensive. We were on a strict budget and saved up for this trip for a long time. It was disappointing to have to spend some of our family's "fun" money on Travelocity's misinformation.
