    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.

    Thanks to Travelocity, we almost could not get out of the Bahamas. We were coming back to Newark through Charlotte and only had a 45 min. layover. This is apparently illegal and Travelocity books them all the time. The clerk could not even process our first flight to Charlotte because of this. We spent an hour trying to find another flight out later that day that wouldn't cost us thousands to change (there were 7 of us). This is extremely stressful when you have limited time as it is to get through customs and to your gate. Finally, out of sympathy, the supervisor was called and was able to override our flight change. Lesson learned, never use Travelocity again. Go direct to airline.

    My mom is traveling on a multi-leg ticket from India. She is on her last leg and needs to go back sooner to India but Travelocity is refusing to change her ticket even though it is a changeable ticket because their system has a flaw. Why should she pay for their fault when she has a valid ticket? Worst customer service ever...such rude agents and supervisors.

    We booked a flight with Travelocity. We paid over $100 more than the original quote because we wanted a later flight. We were worried that it would be difficult to get to the airport in a strange city on time. Today I get an email that says my flight has been changed to an earlier time than the lowest price was. I have been trying for three hours to talk to a representative and I am constantly on hold. I can't even tell them how upset I am. DO NOT book your flight with Travelocity!

    Booked Edwardian House Bed & Breakfast in Picton Ontario on Travelocity.ca online. The hotel called me to say they cancelled my booking! They did not have the room that I booked available. And they don't take credit cards only cash! Travelocity should not show a hotel without availability and not show a hotel as accepting credit cards when it does not. I tried to call Travelocity and got transferred 3 times- waiting 15 minutes "each" time. Then the final straw. After being on hold for a third time for more than 30 minutes they disconnected me! I would never use Travelocity again ever!

    On Friday, 6/19/15, talked to live person at Travelocity to book 3 rooms for dates of 12/19/15 to 12/24/15. Had viewed lower price on Priceline, but assumed it would be easier to talk to someone at Travelocity to book the 3 separate rooms. Travelocity representative stated that it would be easy to get lower Priceline price by going to their Travelocity Price Guarantee section online and plugging in information after rooms were booked. Luckily, I checked site immediately after booking rooms - the site says (which representative failed to tell me) you must complete within 24 hours. Unfortunately, site also says you must take screenshot of cheaper price and attach to your application for lower price guarantee. I'm not too savvy with computer, but got help to enter screenshot for each application for each of the 3 rooms. However, they required that I use email address that they said they had on file for me.

    I don't remember ever signing up for an account with them, and password request was not responding, so had to use new email to sign up for new account. Completed 3 applications at 11:48 pm on 6/19/15. On Monday, 6/22/15, at 7:57 am, received email stating that my 2 email addresses were different so I would need to re-apply for price guarantee. Unfortunately, 24 hour time frame had passed, and I was not eligible for price guarantee. Called Customer Service at 10:17 am on 6/22/15 to explain email situation. On the phone for 14 minutes waiting for reply. Spokesperson could not answer question and was difficult to understand. Called again at 10:42 am and asked to speak with Supervisor. After being on the phone, and given the runaround by a variety of people, for 54 minutes, I was told (by a person I could barely understand) that I was not eligible for the guarantee.

    On 6/22/15 at 11:20 am, received email saying they apologize for delay in getting back to me and they have high volume of email requests. They went on to say that, since my price comparison wasn't "apples to apples", my 3 applications weren't eligible. Seems the cancellation or change policy on Priceline does not match the cancellation or change policy on Travelocity. Needless to say, I believe this to be extremely unprofessional. Granted, I did not read every detail of their fine print guarantee. However, their unwritten rules of requiring an email account which did not exist and they would not send me a password for, a screenshot of another website which could not possibly contain every detail they require, a 24 hour time frame to apply when they don't get back to you for over 48 hours is wrong, wrong, wrong, and extremely unprofessional. I canceled all rooms on 6/22/15 at 4:11 pm.

    I made a hotel reservation through Travelocity and had to cancel the reservation two days later. They didn't refund the full amount of money. I called the customer service and spent about an hour to fix it. Now it's been a week. Nothing happens. I'm on the phone with a "SUPERVISOR" right now. 40 minutes have passed. She's still trying to figure it out. No explanation. Dead silence at the other side of line for 10 minutes. I am asking "Why does it take so long?" "I'm still figuring it out." Another 10 minutes wait.. Now she just hung up on me. Great! I WILL NEVER EVER USE THIS WEBSITE AGAIN.

    On February 20, 2015 I have made a reservation for my trip to Dominican Republic. Unexpectedly I did not receive any confirmation from Travelocity. That happened for the first time as I have made many reservations with that company before. I got back to their site and found out that my reservation was not booked. I followed instructions on a computer and had to do that reservation from the beginning. I received confirmation from Travelocity soon. When my billing statement arrived they charged me twice for one and the same trip. I have made many attempts to contact Travelocity. They do not answer my phone calls.

    I booked a flight through Travelocity. Cancelled it within their 24 hour window. Their site says you can cancel within 24 hours and get your money back but they are not explicit in explaining that they keep your booking fee. I searched everywhere to find out whether the booking fee was not part of the reimbursement and couldn't find a single link. I hear it is buried somewhere in their website but I've yet to find it. They should at the time of cancellation state that the Travelocity fee is reimbursable but they don't. This is intentionally misleading. I am fighting with them to get my $7.99 back. It's not a huge amount but I'm not going to let them get away with misleading their customers this way.

    On July 9th I mistakenly made reservations for the same night at two different hotels. Upon realizing my mistake I called Travelocity to ask for the cancellation fee to be refunded. The customer service rep was very pleasant and although she was difficult to understand, she assured me I would be refunded the cancellation fee, due to the fact I had booked another room through them for the same time. However, my card was charged for both sets of rooms and then refunded only a portion of the hotel we would not be staying in. The amount was even larger than the previous cancellation fee. Upon calling again, my husband was told that even though we had a copy of the cancellation, minus the fee, that we would still be responsible to pay it. I am contacting my credit card and submitting a charge of fraud. I cannot believe this company is allowed to operate legally in this manner.

    We booked flights online and received a confirmation email, which clearly stated with confirmation codes that our flight were booked and we did not need to anything to confirm our reservations and stated that our flights were non-refundable. We called to add an additional person to our itinerary only to learn that our reservations were lost and cancelled. None of our confirmation codes or ticket numbers were able to locate our flights through Travelocity or the airline. After being asked to repeat information over and over again, I asked to speak to a supervisor multiple times. Instead of transferring me to a supervisor I was asked why I needed to speak to a supervisor when she had done everything to locate our reservation and then she abruptly hung up on me! When I call back to speak to customer service it said there would be a three hour hold time! We took our business elsewhere and will never book anything with Travelocity again!

    I received (6/24/15 2:13PM) an e-mail from Travelocity Subject Delta Airlines Flight Deal. In the e-mail was a hyperlink "Book your Flight today". Up comes a Travelocity Site with Delta Flight Deals Search Flights. Since there was no restriction that flight needed to be on Delta I selected LAX-BCN on Sept 5, 2015 - Sept 22, 2015 for 2 persons. Underneath the selection you can click on Advanced Options where you can select Preferred Airline and Preferred Class. I selected British Airways Business class and was quoted $2,700.58 thinking they had a great promotion I booked the flight on my phone. After I got home I logged in the BA website and saw that everything was booked in coach. Confused I called Travelocity that flat out denied that the possibility even exists. Being an engineer for over 30 years I tested it on my iPad and you just get the normal Travelocity website - price over $4,500 per person.

    I tested it on my Android Tablet and lo and behold there is no option to select Airline or class of Service. OK, so I went back to phone (Samsung Galaxy S6) and repeated the steps with the link from the e-mail and boom I could even select First Class at the same price. Now a very very rude Manager talks to me like I'm an idiot and says it's my fault and they would not honor the price and they had tested the application/mobile webpage and there is no option to select Airline or class. I told him he needs to do it on a Smartphone and not some tablet but he refused in the most unpleasant and unprofessional way. He said either I fork over $9,000 plus and re-book me or cancel the reservation.

    Now as an engineer I have developed many websites and noticed that PC/MAC/iPad use the standard Website while Android Tablets under 10 Inches use a mobile version of the app and phones another version again. I took pictures (see below). Even right now at 2 AM the problem has not been addressed and I am furious for them lying to me. This wasn't a $7 fare to Hawaii which Delta honored - it was still $2,700. There are countless examples on the web, 90% of wrongly published fares were honored.

    This company has total disregard to their customers. I tried to change and then cancel my trip. Each time I was put on hold or called back at an unreasonable amount of time to wait. Needless to say I have been trying to correct this matter was never corrected. I got the run around, hung up on twice, told many different stories. While supposedly speaking to a supervisor I was put on hold for a long time. When she got on the phone I could hear the other (Hindu Indians) in the background. I asked her why do I hear the same people in the background. They laughed, spoke in their language, sang and kept me along for the ride. Needless to say my dilemma was never corrected.

    This is totally a scam and something needs to be done about it. I am out 1500$. Please do something about this. I will not end here.

    After booking and paying for a trip to NYC for my daughter to see two colleges, we arrived at the airport and our flight had been cancelled a week before with no notification. We had to rebook at our own expense on another flight the next day. When I spoke to Travelocity, which took three phone calls of over an hour apiece, two being disconnected on their end. The supervisor who clearly works at a call center in another country, misunderstood (I can only guess) and cancelled our hotel for a week and our flight home. She used my travel protection to do so. I ended up with no flights or hotel and when emailing this to customer service, I get a scripted email back saying, "We are so sorry you were not satisfied, we want to make customers happy." Such a disaster, so stressful, and now SO expensive. Please book through the airlines and the hotel. Travelocity is not interested in your welfare.

When I tried calling back multiple times I was hung up on, put on hold forever, and transferred to other incompetent individuals that offered no help, no assistance and giving me wrong information, i.e., "we do not offer transportation to your hotel." I later found out that was a lie. I now returned from my trip and had purchased travel protection. Unfortunately during my trip American Airlines left my luggage behind and returned it damaged.

    I pray that my trip is better than booking it. To begin with this will be our third and last time booking any travel with Travelocity or Expedia. Upon receiving our email confirmation for our upcoming trip we realized that the return departure time was incorrect. I called back in less than 3 hours to inform them of the error. I was put on hold for more than an hour only to hear that the representative that I was speaking to was unable to rectify the error. I was then placed on hold for the 2nd time a spoke to a supervisor, who cancelled the original reservation. She then rebooked the same package with a price increase. I was informed that a credit for the difference would be applied to our credit card.

    Well you can imagine our surprise when we checked with the credit card company and was told that our card had been billed twice the original amount. Upon calling and being placed on hold for more then an hour I called our credit card company who placed the call to Travelocity and he experienced being placed on hold once again for more than an hour. We were told that part of the credit had been applied, but the airline portion would have to be credited to the account from the airline and that could take up to 8 weeks to be credited back to my credit card. Even though our credit card company informed us that they had paid Travelocity the full amount we were not aware or informed that the airline would be crediting our account.

    Beware of booking packages (air/hotel) since you are not informed that any changes to the air portion are credited by the airlines. I don't know how long this company can continue to do business in this manner. You can never speak to someone in the US corporate office to handle customer service in a more professional manner. After all the customer should come first and it should not take 3-5 days to resolve any issues. Forget about getting and credits for any inconvenience you are put through. Back to my earlier comment, I traveled to Ecuador and Costa Rico and the hotel accommodations were not as described.

    On both trips I paid for the hotel twice and was told I would have a credit to be applied on my next trip. Well you guessed it I never received any credit, each time I tried to use it I was told the credit was only good for a hotel stay, then when I tried to you it on this trip, I was told their records didn't show any credit. Outsourcing is a bigger problem than anyone can imagine. The representatives don't have the authority to make major money adjustments, and it's impossible getting to speak to someone who has the US representative with the authority to make money changes. My advice make travel arrangements with your credit card company or your airlines of choice. It's safer and less complicated when things go wrong! Cheaper is not always better. Pay now or later. The choice is yours!!!

    I attempted to book 4 nights at Four Seasons Vancouver and was quoted $1685. When I proceeded to finalize the transaction the price went up $20 saying "prices change". I did not conclude the deal by pressing the confirm button. I then went back in and started the whole transaction again. Completed the deal for $1705. When I checked my credit card I saw I was charged both times. I immediately sent TRAVELOCITY an email and received a few hours later a stock reply saying they would respond in 48 hours. The reply was later than that and they said they had had large amounts of inquiries to deal with and the $1685 fee was to "test the account for validity".

    I replied saying the $1705 had been approved at the same time and to reverse the charge as I had to transfer funds from another account to cover and had paid two Forex fees. Another stock reply which I followed up, another apology and the comment they need to conduct "further research". I replied to this and am still waiting for a reply and a refund. This over an 8 day period from the initial charge. Imagine the $$$$$$ they are collecting in deposits/overcharges/errors which should be in other people's accounts.

    They are owned by EXPEDIA, so I thought I could expect better, but obviously not. I also thought being in Canada and booking a Canadian hotel I was being quoted in CAD, but no it was USD, making the deal dearer than direct with Four Seasons. My advice - Book direct and void these blood sucking vultures who are pushing up the cost of rooms and taking a huge slice of profits from hotels. What started as a great service has turned into a RIPOFF. Avoid TRAVELOCITY, EXPEDIA, WOTIF, etc: BOOK DIRECT.

We got to the airport on time and this flight was delayed (mechanical problems).

    Subsequently we missed our connecting flight and spent the night in Dallas and missed out on a day vacation. Called American Airline and was told to contact Travelocity. I called Travelocity and spoke with numerous employees, then I spoke with the best English speaking employee ** and was told to contact the Hotel. During our stay at the hotel they made it clear they were not responsible for the canceled flight. So the Airline (American Airlines) the hotel (Hard Rock) and the travel agency (Travelocity) are not responsible for the hotel cost ($310 per night), I am? Buyer beware......

Now, 2 weeks after my trip I received a bill in the mail from Dollar Processing Services for $5.10 in highway tolls (they were all electronic - no toll booths to pay the tolls) and a $75 processing fee. I called them and they said that I should have known to go online to the highway toll website and pay my tolls online with my credit card. Well, I didn't know that so I asked if I could still do that but of course now it's too late. I think a small administrative fee would be acceptable but a $75 administrative fee?? That is ridiculous, outrageous and in my opinion, a SCAM. I will never use Dollar Rentals or Travelocity again if I don't get some know of fair resolution to this.

    I had a non-cancelable hotel reservation per hotel policy which I had to cancel since the event I was to attend was cancelled. The Travelocity agent I spoke to informed me of the policy, but offered to contact the hotel to negotiate the policy on my behalf. She successfully cancelled my reservation and I was refunded the full amount and incurred no additional fees. I did cancel a week in advance but, without the agent contacting the hotel, I would have been responsible for the full amount. Thank you to customer service.

    In large letters, the site says "There is no charge for changing a flight", in teeny tiny print it says "The airlines charge $200 to change" - very misleading. When you want to book a flight, wait time for an agent is 2 minutes. I have been waiting for 45 minutes on hold for an agent to apply the credit and am not encouraged by all these reports which say they find reasons not to apply the credit. My advice - find your flight on Travelocity and then go around them and book directly with the airline. DO NOT USE TRAVELOCITY TO BOOK YOUR FLIGHT.

    On May 31, 2015, I bid for a 3-star Top Secret hotel in Palmdale, CA for $64 a night. When I completed the purchase, the hotel I was assigned to was the Ramada Palmdale, which the Travelocity website rates as a 2-star hotel. The 2-star hotels were listed as being $38 a night. I immediately called your customer service and was told to call back the next morning. When I did so, I explained the situation and asked for a supervisor and was put on hold for 40 minutes. I hung up and tried again with a 20 minute wait for a supervisor.

    The person I spoke to said he could not do anything, and transferred me to a manager. I waited 50 minutes for the manager to pick up, and when she did, I explained the situation to her and requested a 3-star hotel. She told me something to the effect of, "When you do that kind of bidding, it's opaque and there are no guarantees for the number of stars". I asked her where it says this on the website and she did not give me that information, only insisting that the process is opaque. This went on for about 20 minutes, when I gave up and disconnected the call.

    Unfortunately, I have found this experience to be unsatisfactory because I believed I would receive a 3-star hotel for $64 a night, but instead received a 2-star hotel, which I could have booked for much less. I am disappointed because I feel that I have been misled and that after exhausting your customer service, my problem has not been resolved. I have been using Travelocity for almost 10 years, and have booked many trips with your company. I have also recommended your services to all of my friends and family looking to travel. I am simply asking for the 3-star hotel I was bidding on. If my problem is not resolved, I am sad to say that I will have to take my business elsewhere and recommend another service to my friends and family.

    I discovered via my itinerary that the representative incorrectly booked my 13 yr. old son's plane ticket as an adult, and my 16 year old as a child. One bedroom was also booked under the 13 year old's name. Of course, the representative's verbal confirmation was free of any errors. The next representative, and the manager, claimed that the error must be from Spirit Airlines, and told me to contact Spirit. Yet, all of my information was generated through Travelocity. Next, the manager actually tried to convince me that the email just had a typo. Yet, the itinerary listed under my account, on their website, matched the information in the email. When I asked the manager to please contact Spirit Airlines, and the Flamingo hotel, and provide them with the correct information, he put me on hold for 15 minutes, and then hung up. If that wasn't bad enough, he did not follow up.

    I called back, and waited an additional 30 minutes, before getting a customer service representative. After 25 more minutes, they stated that they can't notify Spirit to let them know that they made an error. Mind you, I am not allowed to make changes once a flight is booked, for these particular nonrefundable tickets. Believe it or not I caught the error, and contacted Travelocity, about 30 minutes after making the reservation. What I find most disturbing is that I received such appalling treatment, despite the fact that I was always patient, and respectful.

    I am furious with Travelocity. They will find every way to cheat you out of you money and take it. I booked a ticket over the phone, and they misspelled my name with a P instead of a T. When I called to cancel a ticket because my sister couldn't make it, they basically said, "Sorry I can't change your name, and if we cancel, there will be no refund." They didn't bother to give me any other options. So we had to call American Airlines directly and we were able to get it resolved. Really, these Travelocity people are ridiculous, a whole bunch of foreign customer representatives, who don't give a **! I will never book with Travelocity ever again. They are thieves!!!

    The first one was several years ago when Travelocity refused to honor or refund tickets from Mexico to the US, for a day when there were no flights out of Mexico City to Denver. We had to buy new tickets and pay for them again. No compensation, lots of fear, lots of confusion. They said that it wasn't their fault that the airline wasn't flying, even though, we had tickets in hand. The second was a month or so ago, when we had bought tickets to Shanghai China, through Travelocity. We spent hours and hours on the phone trying to make the tickets work when it was found that a flight had been cancelled to get us back home from Shanghai. Travelocity took no responsibility for that. We had to do it ourselves with United customer service, and AirAsia. They each said that it was the responsibility of Travelocity to work it out. Then when we arrived at the airport, it turned out that we needed a visa. We have had visas before, no problem.

    No one even suggested that getting a Visa from China was a big giant problem which could not be solved with either money or time. We had to have applied two months previous to even possibly get a visa. RCI didn't tell us that when they booked us a hotel. Travelocity didn't tell us when we booked our tickets. The agent at United cancelled those tickets on the spot. Our big vacation was ruined. Money, time and energy wasted. Lessons learned: Don't trust Travelocity with your arrangements - they will not take responsibility for their carelessness, and second - always do your own research regarding what exactly is required. There is a generic disclosure on the face of all tickets, but this time, there were specific directions that might have been included, they might have helped with the problems around the cancellation, they might have refunded all of our money. But - no.

I called back, spoke to a very nice rep and booked my round-trip flight from IN to AZ, USA. I also purchased the insurance (1st time). I was not able to take that trip, because of health reasons, so I called and told the airlines. About 2 months later I wanted to book another trip and use my 1st ticket. I couldn't use the ticket or get anyone to assist me with the insurance... So I paid for that ticket roundtrip to WA... also.

    This is my response to an agent who has tried to contact me in regards to my complaints 2 days after the matter is resolved. So unorganized! This case has been resolved. I was speaking with the agent over the phone and sending her screen shots via email so that she had a visual description. Your agent could not help me over the phone. The 17th time I had called prior over a span of a week on a mistake that was made on either Travelocity's end or American Airlines.

    You accepted my first purchase, canceled my second which makes no sense how a first order can process but the second cannot, and made place a third purchase. No I did not and nor my bank place a cancellation. Someone on your end or American airlines canceled my order and tried to blame my bank. I called and let my bank know that there was going to be a big purchase via Travelocity/American airlines and I authorize it. They let you hold it in processing (they were just waiting for you to take the money) for 5 business days and if no activity they cancel the hold. So you guys canceled and never took my money.

    The bank was just following their policy and I understood their policy since I had to open the account. Customer service always seemed great and very kind over the phone but they never solved or answered any of my questions. Spoke with **, **, ** and 3 other agents and 2 supervisors but I stopped asking for names since I know they are not your real names and every time I would mention an agent's name that assisted in a prior phone call that agent would say okay as if they had no idea who I was talking about. And even after the multiple phone calls and complaints they do not even offer any sort of compensation or upgrade after all of the stress and anxiety of trying to get these tickets.

    I know you don't care but prices I give a 10 (great) but customer service and everything else a 0 (horrible). If it wasn't for the fact that I needed these tickets asap and the fact that I had open/processing transaction and an existing case with you (Travelocity) I would have used a different booking agency. You pigeonholed me into continuing to use your service. Again I know you don't care but this email is going on yelp. Have a great day.

    Not to mention every time I called customer service with the automated system it would say the order's been canceled and after waiting on hold for 15 minutes to speak with a supervisor, she says hello then we get disconnected. I'm not saying she purposely hung up, it had just put the cherry on top to top it all off. And when I had called back all of a sudden the automated system could not find any itinerary numbers associated with my phone number when I had 2. So I type my number in and the system says it's the same number I'm calling from and cannot locate any itinerary numbers.

    So then I type the itinerary numbers and it's says found it.. brief pause then it states I'm having trouble locating that itinerary numbers then it connects me to an agent. So you also had me freaking out that you guys canceled my first purchase as well. This isn't my first time flying however it is my first time purchasing tickets and coordinating this trip on my own. Not to mention the trip is to pick up my daughter who lives in Texas who I haven't seen in a year and bring her back to California for a bit so I can take her to Disneyland and seaworld. So you had me thinking that you guys ruined that whole trip.

    I booked a 12 day trip with Travelocity. I did all the right things and made sure to get travelers insurance. I went to change my flight so that I could leave a day earlier and they had to completely recharge me for it. On top of that they charged me a fee for changing it which they said I would have reimbursed. They didn't charge my card until two weeks later. Not only that but it was for an extra $200 that they charged me. I have no idea where they got this number in their head. But my account was then overdrawn and I had to pay a fee for that. The bills that I had tried to pay didn't go through and I had to pay a fee for that AND what was even more frustrating was the overnight tour that I wanted to go on for my trip that I tried to pay for ended up being sold out by the time they had finally fixed the problem. The tour was the big reason for my going on this trip anyway.

    The supervisor I spoke to was so rude--blamed it on me-- did not want to take responsibility at all and never apologized. I will never use Travelocity again. I thought customer service was to help customers and come to some conclusion where you are satisfied at the end of the call. More often than not I was on hold for an hour and disconnected multiple times whenever I asked to speak to a supervisor.

    I had travel credits for American Airlines in the amount of $158.77 from a previous trip to Cabo San Lucas that had to be cancelled due to a hurricane in October 2014. We had trip insurance and was refunded for the hotel and airport transfers - Travelocity said that we could not be reimbursed for the flight, but that we had a flight credit of $1,283.96 ($641.98 for both my husband and myself). Travelocity told me that we had to book a flight prior to March 9, 2015, and if there was a remaining credit, we had until September 22, 2015, to use the remaining credits.

    To date, I have $158.77 in American Airline credits and it has been IMPOSSIBLE to book a flight to use them. To say I am frustrated and angry with Travelocity (Expedia's company) is an understatement. I contacted Travelocity on April 20, 2015, to book a flight using my credit ($158.88) and after NUMEROUS times being on hold, disconnected (with me calling THEM back), etc. - I was on the phone from 11:50 am UNTIL 4:30 PM!!! Over 4 1/2 hours!

    I had checked flights online repeatedly to get the lowest airfare, had the flight numbers and everything that I needed to book a trip to Phoenix, AZ. When I called Travelocity, I was told that I had to talk to the 'Travel Credit Supervisor' and continuously got disconnected. I would call back and sit on hold AGAIN and had to through the process from the beginning again - only to be disconnected AGAIN and AGAIN! I even gave them my telephone number, had them repeat it back to me, in case we were disconnected again - they NEVER called back!

    Once, I finally got to **, the "Travel Credit Supervisor", then they tried to connect me with yet another person to book the travel credit and I was disconnected AGAIN! I asked for a number directly to that department and I was given 800-397-33342, extension 3 - only to find out it was the SAME 'customer service' number!!! Some of the people I talked to were ** - just absolutely ridiculous. All the while, the chances of me getting the low fare I had found were reduced due to having to sit on the phone with Travelocity for 4 1/2 hours!

    When the recording on the line says, "this call may be monitored", what a joke! If it were monitored, you would understand the frustration that your company puts people through! I would think that you would have an option in your phone recording that could take a client directly to the "Credit Travel Department" if there is such a thing. I have noticed through research that many others have encountered this same issue.

    It is pretty obvious that Travelocity is profiting by not honoring these travel credits. That is illegal. It's as though Travelocity knows that if you stay on the phone long enough and are frustrated enough, the customer will not book a trip. I really don't see how they could book a trip if this is their method of business!!! I sent a letter certified mail to Travelocity on April 23, 2015 and, to date, have not heard one word back. When I track the letter, it was received on April 28, 2015 at 8:02 am. I want the $158 that is due to me! I will NEVER sit on the phone with Travelocity again. A company with good customer service would understand that this is not an unreasonable request. I will do anything I can to get this money back because it is just WRONG for Travelocity to treat any customer in this manner.

I was traveling with my daughter and her four small children, 8 & 6 years, and 11 month old twins. The agent assured me repeatedly that there was no charge for the children. I also told her that there was a possibility that two other teenager children (15 and 16) might be in the room. She consistently said no charge for children under 18, and she noted it on my special instructions. When I got to the check in the attendant, **, told me that it was a Temple city ordinance that there can only be four people to a room... regardless of age. I found out that is not true, after talking to several city officials, including **, who is the liaison to the hospitality industry in Temple.

    It took forever to get the hotel to refund me for the Travelocity bill, and they forced me to get two rooms at a "discount" rate. It was a terrible experience and they could not have been more rude. I spoke with the "owner" whom I later found out is not the decision maker. He could not have been more rude or belligerent. Because the notes about the kids were in the special instructions, ** accused me of not even booking for the kids! Also, the breakfast was barely that. Not one piece of fruit... no cereal or milk.

    WARNING. PLEASE SHARE. I want to make sure that everyone is fully aware of what they are getting when they book travel arrangements through Travelocity. Back in February my daughter booked a flight to LA for a cruise. She purchased the tickets through Travelocity. She was taking a cruise with family celebrating for two marriages in our family. She planned the trip carefully recognizing that she would need to be back home on the 8th to attend her son's preschool graduation (a memory you never get twice). Her departure flight was fine everything was good.... They arrived, went on their cruise and returned to the airport as instructed on their itinerary for their flight home.

    When they went to check in for their flight they were told by Frontier Airlines, that the flight from that airport was discontinued a year ago. They had no flights available until the next day. The flights that were available would not get them home until "after" her sons graduation. When calling Travelocity, to find out what she could do, Travelocity's supervisor said (and I am quoting) "Do you see the name Travelocity on the plane? No you don't because we are just a company that is a convenience for you, it isn't our problem. It's the airlines problem".**

    Frontier at least offered to put them on another flight although it would be the next day and departing from LAX not Orange County and she would not arrive in time for her son's graduation. When she asked them what she was supposed to do for the night and how she was to get from Orange County airport to LAX. They told her it wasn't their issue. It was Travelocity's problem. So my daughter & hubby were stranded in LA had to get transportation from/to airports that were an hour and a half apart, pay for a hotel and miss her son's graduation.

    Mom (me) got on the phone with Travelocity, I spoke to their corporate office customer service, and was told "we only show what the airlines show is available, so it isn't on us." I asked her where on their site that it "warned" consumers that changes made by airlines are not their responsibility... and she agreed there wasn't. SO BE WARNED!!! DO NOT USE TRAVELOCITY to book your flights. They are NOT able to guarantee you flight is actually a "real" flight at all.

    I also got on the phone with Frontier Airlines and spoke to their customer service supervisor. He apologized that they received poor service and will be sending them two $25 vouchers. Other than that there is nothing they can do.... SO BE WARNED!!! FRONTIER AIRLINES allows for tickets to be sold for flights that have been discontinued.... and if you get put on one they will give you a $25 voucher but you will still be out the money not only to travel from one airport to another but for all the other expenses as well such as a hotel! Do not rely on Travelocity or Frontier Airlines if you are planning travel around a special event. Chances are you will miss it and they will do nothing about it! #travelocity #frontier TRAVELOCITY & FRONTIER AIRLINES... THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!!!!!!

    I noticed that United Airlines flight had changed the time for flight in May, booked through Travelocity. The change was to a time 40 minutes later, which drastically altered my ability to meet the requirements of my trip. I called Travelocity customer support, and they immediately informed me that I could change the reservation for a penalty. When I explained, again, that United had changed the time, they put me on hold for 15 minutes, and got back to me with the good news that they would not refund the ticket but would allow me to rebook without penalty. I asked him point blank if I could use the ticket to fly to destination other than my original destination, and he said definitely. However, he told me, I would have to call Travelocity again at the time of rebooking, and then the Travelocity agent would have to call United again in order to waive the penalty at the time of booking.

    When I objected to such a confusing, and perhaps unreliable process, he put me on the phone with his floor supervisor. She mechanically repeated everything that he had mechanically repeated, several times, (ignoring my actual questions) and then, when all that was done, she had to put me on hold in order to actually cancel the ticket. While we were waiting on hold, I looked online to see if I could find a flight on United to another destination in June. When the supervisor got back to me, I mentioned a flight I had noticed. She said it would cost more than the United website showed because those prices were only for new bookings not rebooking. She suggested a different flight with a layover. She then went through an explanation that I absolutely could not follow to the effect that she would need to call United to see the cost of that hypothetical itinerary.

    After another very long hold, she told me that based on the Waiver Code that United had given her I could change my reservation without penalty, but only if I took a flight within the window of the day after or before the original flight. When I pointed out that I had now been on the phone with them for well over an hour (and ruined my entire morning), only to have them add new restrictions to the policy and change what they had already told me.

    After listening to her repeat the same mechanical lines a dozen times, I asked to escalate the issue to her supervisor and after another long hold, I spoke to her. I found her even more mechanical and even less willing to hear my concerns. In the end, I was on the phone for over an hour and a half for a complete waste of time. The upper supervisor did not even wish to acknowledge that I had been given misinformation by their own agents to begin with. This was not what I expected from Travelocity. I will never book through them again.

    I booked a hotel deal in Yakima, WA about 2 weeks before my trip. When I arrived at the hotel, I realized I had accidentally booked for May 5th, not May 4th, which is what I meant to do. The hotel was gracious and agreed to not charge me any additional fees and, thankfully, they had a room available. When I called Travelocity customer service to assure that I would not be charged twice (for both nights), the rep informed me she had to call the hotel, which she did, and communicated to me the same sentiments, no additional fees. I don't remember now why, but she put me on hold a second time to call the hotel back and she never came back on the line. I was on hold for 30 minutes.

    So I hung up and tried again. I explained the situation. Apparently the first rep did not make any notes in my file so the first 30 minutes I waited did not exist according to them. And that is exactly how they made me feel. The second rep could not reach the hotel upon the first attempt and when I proceeded to raise his voice at me, I requested to speak to a supervisor.

    The supervisor came on and the first thing she asked me was "why did you ask to speak to me?" No, hello, how can I help you, nothing. Immediately a confrontational question. I told her I was frustrated with the first rep for not taking notes and the second rep for raising his voice. She essentially blamed me and insinuated I had lied about my first call because there were no notes (therefore it did not happen, according to her). I asked her to call the hotel again. She said she would call one last time but then not again. That she cannot just be calling the hotel over and over again. She was incredibly rude. Probably top 3 of the rudest customer service reps I have ever spoken to.

    All the while I did not raise my voice and tried to remain calm. She put me on hold for 20 minutes. All in all, I spent an hour on the phone with Travelocity, just for them to tell me that there was nothing they, or I, needed to do. That the hotel would take care of that. Couldn't they have just told me that in the first place? Do the reps and supervisors know their policies so little that they couldn't have communicated that to me sooner than 60 minutes in?

Surely it's a tactic to have you hang up so they can charge you the non cancellation fee due to not completing the call. Once I spoke with the customer service rep and informed her of the cancellation there was no reason to put me on hold. All she had to do was simply send me a confirmation email and take care of the rest internally.

Booking was very easy despite the heavy accent of the woman booking the room and me having to repeat the spelling of my email multiple times but hey maybe it was me. If that was the worst no biggie. I was told I would receive a confirmation email shortly (perfect).

    By the next day still no email so I called back and they were unable to find my reservation. OK. Maybe there was a mistake, still no biggie. The lady was very agitated and told me it was my fault I'm probably not giving her the correct email address (mind you sounding very agitated). So I gave her my husband's email which I'm sure wasn't it because I remembered having to spell it so many times. But hey maybe I made a mistake. Ends up no reservation either. So she placed me on hold for 1 hour and 43 minutes.

    During this time I called the bank to confirm because maybe there was a mistake. Bank said yes it has been charged already and at this time I find out the price is higher than I was told by almost 50.00 bucks! So I use the house phone to call them back again still on hold on my cell. I get another girl who makes me go through the same process and I oblige. She leaves me on hold for what ended up being 55 minutes.

    During this time I had been on hold on my cell for 1 hour 45 minutes. After the girl returns and answers as if it's a new call I ask if it was necessary that I be left on hold for almost 2 hours. And she replies "It wasn't me, It was **." OK. And she asked me if I would like to book a room (now I'm getting annoyed). I said I already booked a room, and she said I had not, and if I had I needed to book another so they could find the old reservation, I said that sounds crazy and it will probably complicate the situation even more, so now what? I asked to speak to a manager or someone anyone else. And she hung up.

    I called the hotel and yes they have my reservation. So I'm still attending the funeral and the hotel has my reservation. So I guess I'm going to get burned for the extra charge. Will never ever use Travelocity who is connected to Expedia as well now? Scary. And did I mention this was my first time using them? The only confirmation number I have is the one the hotel gave me.

    Saturday - Bahmar closed so Travelocity promised to accommodate me at another hotel. I wanted to stay at the cove but wasn't available for 4 nights, only 5 nights so they put in royal temporarily. Sunday - called 4 times - kept getting disconnected and jerked around. Supervisor told me I could switch to the cove and pay for the extra night I would stay - disconnected. Called back, told me it was too much money and made believe I didn't talk to the supervisor prior. Supervisor's name prior was **. Opened a case with the corporate office, (Sonoa) promised me to hear back from them within 72 hours... never heard back.

    Wednesday night called them and got jerked around, then put me on hold to transfer corporate, and after 15 minutes on hold, I was disconnected.

    I called back and the supervisor told me to make a new case number. Made a new case number then the supervisor came back on the phone and said the corporate office is closing in 15 minutes. I recommend to call back tomorrow. I'm sitting waiting to hear back from corporate. I would avoid using Travelocity at all cost. I spent over 10 hours on the phone with them.

    Purchased a travel package for 4 days. Total cost originally was $1291.44. When Travelocity finished with taxes and other fees, the new cost was $1498.67 (additional $200 plus). When I received the confirmation the times were incorrect on flights. Called to have flight times corrected and they had to recharge my credit for the full amount. Received confirmation and Car rental time was not corrected accordingly for pick-up. Called to have car rental corrected and they had to recharge my credit card Again, 3rd time.

    Total charges to my bank account -- $3598.30. Total credited back to account -- $2191.07. (They had told me it would take 5 days to have money credited back to my account until I told them I contacted my bank, then it was immediately credited back to my account.) Difference of $1407.23, which sounds like I made out better, however they did not reserve the car for me... So I had to pay an addition $188.00 for the car rental. That makes my total package $1595.23, almost 100 more than original. A total over 300 dollars more than original quote. Over 2 hours on the phone with customer reps with only one that could speak clear English and understand it. Various emails to customer service.

    I logged onto Travelocity to book a flight for my son and I for SEPT 2015. I am a first time user, so I went through the entire process. Clicked book now, and it stated that it was processing my order. I went to print it out and saw that it had not gone through. I called them directly and was on hold for almost an hour. I finally got someone on the line and she recommended that I try it again while I was on the phone with her. The same thing happened again. She told me that she could book it for me if I gave her all of the details. Each time I had tried it, it gave me itinerary numbers however she could not see them on her end. When she attempted to book it for me, she quoted me $100 higher. I lost it! She said there was nothing she could do, so I asked to speak to a supervisor.

    I waited another 20 minutes on hold to speak with a very rude woman Who also claimed there was nothing that could be done. She was so rude to me, I could not even believe what I was hearing. I asked if she had a supervisor and she said she was going to connect me with the corporate office. In speaking with the "supervisor" at the corporate office, I found that she was twice as rude as the others. She told me it was not their fault, that my bank must have put some kind of a hold on my credit card. I told her there is no hold on my card, I am at a zero balance. I asked her what I should do if they tell me there is no hold on my card, that would show it was a problem with the website. She said "I can't tell you where to do your business, you can use whoever you would like."

    I was astounded by the treatment I received through Travelocity. I am a very nervous flyer as it is, and this put my anxiety level through the roof. I contacted my bank who assured me that no transaction was attempted, and there were no hold on my card. I decided to book direct through Alaska Airlines, which was a breeze and I had no issues. I obviously missed out on the lower fares, but there is no way I was going to attempt to book it again to Travelocity. What a complete nightmare! I would never in a million years recommend them to anyone!!

    I booked 11 flights for my family US to Canada through Travelocity which was a BIG mistake! I realized right after booking that I needed to change the return flight and make a minor name change. The website states that you can do it for 24 hours from the itinerary page under "manage booking" which is false. I called and the return flight was canceled but the name change from ** was not made so I called back the next day. Now, I seriously think the "call 'service' team" in India finds pleasure in harassing the company's customers.

    The reason I feel this way is after being told by them I had to call United, who then told me to call Canadian Air, who told me to "call my travel agent." I called Travelocity back and it was clear the girl took pleasure in adding to my frustration. She kept putting me on and off hold and amused herself by blatantly changing her answers. First, after being put on hold for 20 mins she came back and said the airline would only let her change 3 letters. I told her okay I can make that work - she said oh wait, let me talk to my manager. Then after another 20 mins she came back and said "I can only change 1 letter!" Seriously she said that.

    Last night I checked my air reservation for Los Angeles in May to attend my son's grad school graduation. Realized to my chagrin that I had booked the flights (months ago) for the wrong weekend. I realized I screwed up and I would forfeit most of what I'd paid in the airline's change fees. But I still needed to rebook for the correct dates. I called Travelocity and was connected with a call center in India. The rep's English was difficult to understand and she had me repeat everything I told her over and over. She put me on hold for 10 minutes at one point. Eventually I asked her if I could just make the change myself on line. She said yes so after 20+ minutes on the phone, I hung up. Went to the website only to find that you cannot change air reservations made through Travelocity online.

    I waited until the next morning hoping I could get a US call center. Called Travelocity and message said there would be a 26 minute wait, which was wrong. It took 33 minutes before I was connected with a call center from Philippines. Her English was better, but it was slow and laborious to communicate the flight changes I desired to her. Finally after I'd been on phone for 47 minutes total, she asked for my credit card. With the change fees I was only going to receive about $40 per ticket credit on the new tickets. Gave her the credit card and there was a long pause while she said the charge was processing. She then told me there had been a price change which would have reduced my credit on the old tickets to a total of $22 for our 2 reservations. I already had the airline site up on my screen. There was no price change on the airline's site. I told the agent to screw it and just booked completely new tickets through the airline's website.

    Had I booked on the airline's site originally, I could have made the change online or with one of its agents with less than a 5 minute wait time at the same time of day. We have had other problems with Travelocity air tickets in the past. Airlines often cannot make any changes on air tickets booked through Travelocity so if you get to the airport and there's a problem and you need to rebook, you're screwed, especially if your Travelocity itinerary was with multiple airlines and the flight you need to change is not on the ticket stock for that airline. I personally will never, ever book another air reservation on Travelocity.

    I found a coupon on goseek.com to use to book a hotel room through Travelocity. "How nice!" I thought naively. I booked the room and successfully applied the coupon, pleasantly surprised at the discount. But then when I checked out, I discovered my card had been charged extra - in fact, it had been charged the same amount I would have paid had I booked through the hotel site, except without having to pay everything up front and with the ability to make a change in my reservation if I needed to. I would not have booked the room with Travelocity at this price.

    So I called customer service right away and spent the next 40 minutes on hold or trying to explain the situation to a non-native English speaker who didn't understand until I had explained it 5 times. She then says "oh, yes I see the coupon on your account, but it hasn't been applied". So, you would think that she could just apply it and refund my card the $75, and we could call it a day, right? No!!! Not Travelocity! She tells me instead that she has to call the hotel and see if they will let me cancel my reservation and be refunded for the full amount, and that it will take up to 2 weeks for the refund. Then, I can book again using the coupon! Um, I can't wait two weeks to make the reservation, so I guess I won't be using Travelocity (ever again). Will I ever get a refund? Stay tuned!

    I was ready to book my trip with Travelocity when I called customer service for a few last minute questions. Never have I had such a terrible experience with any company EVER. After begrudgingly answering a few of my questions, I inquired about a coupon code that I had received an email about. The "customer service" representative (who was exceedingly difficult to understand) told me that I should have told her about the coupon code earlier and that she could see if there was anything she could even do about it.

    After several minutes of silence I said, "Hello?" and she snapped back "I'M LOOKING!" and hung up on me. I consider myself a patient person and had been nothing but pleasant with her up to that point. After calling back and sitting on hold for ten minutes, a young man answered the phone (also difficult to understand). I explained my horrific experience with the previous rep to him to which he nonchalantly replied that he would see if he could book the trip. He did not even acknowledge how inappropriate the previous situation had been and he also tried to book the wrong trip for me. If I had not stopped him he could have easily used my information to pay for a trip that was the completely incorrect itinerary.

    After clearing up the itinerary issue, he proceeded to finally explain to me that I could not use the coupon code and did I still want to book the trip. At this point I had no desire to book with this company. Please understand that this has nothing to do with wanting to use a coupon code for this trip, and everything to do with the completely belligerent "customer service" reps. I have purchased trips from this company in the past and will NEVER do so again. Had I spoken to a person with such atrocious behavior prior to booking online, I never would have used this company in the first place. Terrible business practices and lots of lost business for this "service".

When I got to the hotel, Travelocity had booked me the cheapest room for the price of the upgraded suite I requested on their website. I didn't notice at the bottom of the confirmation they listed the cheap room, but charge the suite price. They refused to refund or compensate for the error. In February, the room I got was going for half the price I paid at the hotel itself. So why would I have paid Travelocity twice as much for the cheap room if the hotel had it for half the price.

    In July 2014 I purchased a round trip ticket Honolulu to Sydney, Australia through Travelocity. The airline carrier was Hawaiian Air. After staying in Australia several weeks I decided to extend my trip by another 2 weeks. I called Travelocity roughly 12 days prior to my original ticket's departure date. Using the toll-free number specifically listed on their web page for people calling from outside the U.S. And I asked the clerk to confirm that my call was indeed a toll-free call (I was using my U.S. ATT cell phone). The clerk assured me that my call wouldn't result in charges. Once home I saw the huge bill. I believe the 5 calls to do a change to my ticket's return leg were excessively long due to incompetence by the phone representatives. Even the last call to reach an upper level manager took over an hour to finalize my ticket.

    These 5 calls were approximately 20, 4, 45, 12, and 65 minutes in length (from my memory), for a total of 146 minutes at $2.00 per minute totaling $296. U.S. Dollars. Once home in the U.S. I called Travelocity but I was told it wasn't their problem. They offered me no explanations for why I was billed $2.00 per minute. A new ticket was issued on the 3rd call however it had itinerary problem which I was not aware of since the clerk had not orally reviewed it with me before the close of the conversation. It had not been made as I had instructed. After the third call I had a new but unusable ticket. Calling a 4th time for help on the unusable ticket I was told Travelocity can only change the ticket once, and I would need to call an upper level manager in San Francisco the following day.

    The next day I made a 5th call which lasted over an hour - and finally I was issued a ticket with the correct dates and times. Although it was not my fault that the departure time on the first ticket wouldn't work for me I had to explain in detail all my previous conversations. This whole experience left me exhausted, disillusioned and angry that Travelocity would require 2 hours and 46 minutes (me mostly waiting in silence for something to happen at their end) to get half of a round trip ticket moved forward by 2 weeks keeping the same airline carrier and same time of departure. (Note: At the time of changing the ticket, the new flight was listed on the internet as costing the same as the original ticket. So no cost differences. For anyone wondering - Travelocity charged a change fee for making the change.)

I went through the process and again once I tell her my credit info and when the trans. comes to its finish she tells me it couldn't be process due to flight change again. We did this about 3 hrs until I decided to give up. But once I hang up I decide to check my bank statement and what do you know... they stole 1,005.96 from me and no confirmation of any taken payments.

    I call her again - bear in mind it is now 3 am in the morning by this time. I ask to speak to manager and she places me on hold for another hour then hangs up on me. I call from a different phone just in case they know the number and finally I speak with someone more helpful which ends up telling me he can not find anywhere through their company where I was charged. I again explain to him that my bank statement say clear as day $1005.96 taken out from PA -Travelocity.com L. He directs me to his manager. Hold for another 45 min then finally he picks up. I explain the whole issue again and he verifies that no money was taken from me and then he says if there was see if it gets put back within 72 hours. And guess what..... it was still taken and never seen again.

    I call to figure out what it was that I was charged for due to the fact I received no confirmation of a flight or hotel or anything. It was as if my money disappeared in the air. These people stole my vacation from me, because they stole my $1005.96 from me I was forced to not go on my vacation because I didn't have enough money for my bills and my vacation. I cried for week and the problem still isn't resolved. These people are scam artist. Even if it seems like it's a cheaper deal it ends up costing you more anyways and in my case it cost 1,005.96 to just speak to these people because I promise you, you will NEVER SEE THAT MONEY AGAIN.

    I booked a trip for my daughter and I online at Travelocity for the Bahamas. Nowhere during the booking did a pop-up come up advising me we needed passports to travel. I went to check-in yesterday 3/19 less than 24 hours before our flights only to realize we needed passports!! I was on hold for 90 minutes only to be told they could cancel my flights for $400 in fees and couldn't advise whether I would be refunded for my hotel until 9:00 a.m. today so they could speak to someone at the hotel. 13 minutes and counting and still on HOLD.

    I will never book with Travelocity again. How they could let someone book a flight without advising a passport is needed is a crime. I may be stuck $2200 because of their lack of clear guidelines on their booking site. If I do not receive a refund, I am going to charge back through my credit card company. I will NEVER BOOK AT TRAVELOCITY AGAIN. They have horrendous customer service and no escalation process. I have been told I have to call back and be on hold. No one can return my call??? Really? They have no one empowered to call back a customer with a severe customer service issue?? Unheard of.

I showed up at the hotel just to be told that the reservation was for the previous night and the hotel was completely booked for the evening. The receptionist at the hotel told me that I was not the first person to have the same problem with the Travelocity mobile app. Two calls to the Travelocity customer service department resulted in no refund.

After waiting 50 minutes on hold, and being put on hold three more times, the rep told me everything is "non-refundable", including the trip waiver insurance.

    Our initial reservations were made through Travelocity for 3/5/15-3/8/15 (itinerary # **) at the Rodeway Inn Philadelphia. On 3/4/15, I called to cancel the 3/5 reservation because of the imminent storm in Philadelphia. I was told that I wouldn't be refunded because I didn't give 48 hrs, so I added a reservation for 3/9. I was told that I would be refunded $16.92 due to the lower rate on Sun. Our room seemed cold but otherwise fine upon arrival (3/6). We assumed that the electric heating panels in the room needed time to warm up. The bathroom had no heat and the floors were freezing. We found extra blankets and shivered through the night as we heard every voice in the next room.

    In the AM, I called and asked if the heat could be turned up, as there was no thermostat in the room. The very nice desk clerk said that she would adjust the heat in the hall. At 4 AM (3/7) we called the desk because there was no electricity or heat! The freezing bathroom was pitch black. The clerk came to the room but said that he didn't know what to do about it. At 9 AM there was still no electricity or heat. After 2 sleepless nights, we headed for home, declining another room placement. The clerk told me that they couldn't refund any money as I had booked the room with Travelocity. I'm confident that you will refund our money.

He further lied and said travel insurance wasn't available. The supervisor, ** stated they'd have to cancel my reservation, now a 2nd time and do a redo. This would now create 2 cancellations on my credit card that would take up to six business days to post and now I would have to make a 3rd transactions causing a total $1400 in credits I'd have to wait for and now a new reservation of $700.

    They offered a $50 voucher. That wouldn't help if I had to cancel because of a medical emergency. I refused. I was then transferred to their corporate office, put my phone on speaker so I could do other things. After waiting 60 minutes, I gave up and hung up.

    I have used Travelocity to book flights in the past and never had any problems. This particular time was different. I booked flights for my husband and I from Sydney, Aus to Auckland, NZ and really never thought any more about it until we arrived at the airport in Sydney. This particular flight was a Virgin Australia flight but was actually done by Air New Zealand. After trying for some time to get our boarding passes with no luck, an agent finally helped us and then told us at that time that we would have to pay for both of our large bags at $120 each.

    Nowhere that I can tell when I look back through my paperwork can I find where this is explained to me. The only thing I can find is a sentence that says the airline MAY charge for additional luggage. Then when we boarded (after paying) we also found out that we were not even to be offered a coke! I think Travelocity owes it to their customers to be clearer in what it is we are paying for or not paying for. Way too vague! Nothing compared to what some have experienced but so very irritating!

    I was booking a round trip flight from Maui to Oahu on the internet and Travelocity popped up, and the price looked good so I made the purchase. At the bottom there was an offer for a stress free flight protection plan which allowed me to change or cancel my trip for any reason without penalty. Sounded real good, especially for someone pushing 79, and for a very reasonable $22. Then I discovered that my departure time from Maui not 9:19 a.m but p.m. (whenever I book a flight to Honolulu, I always check off the box for morning flights as my son is only free in the morning). But I had a good laugh at my good fortune in purchasing flight protection.

    I made three attempts to reach a human voice to request a change, without success. So I went to the airport and dealt directly with the airline, Island Air, to get a morning flight. As usual the local personnel was as gracious and helpful as can be but couldn't get around the $20 fee for the new booking with or without the useless flight protection plan. And since it was my fault for not catching the am/pm error in my flight time -- all I'm out is $22 -- which after reading the long list of horrific complaints against Travelocity is a laughable amount. And thanks to the shared experience of your many members, I was able to avoid the experience of frustration and anger which comes in dealing with a dishonest company. Thanks.

    I booked a trip for my companion on Travelocity. I also paid 89 US for trip insurance. He had to go to Africa on mission for his company. Unfortunately, the trip had to be changed. He was to return 5 days earlier. Originally it cost around 1,400 round trip. I waited more than 1 hour and 45 minutes to get a customer service representative. When I requested a 5 day change I was told that a change would cost me more than 3,000.00 US. The only other alternative was to purchase another ticket one way which would cost the same as the round trip ticket. The representative said that I should receive a reimbursement for the return trip. All I had to do was to call them after he arrived in Africa.

    Despite the fact that he paid for the insurance, we have lost everything. We are getting no refund for the second half. So we have paid twice the amount for the travel. Moreover, this travel insurance is advertised in a misleading manner. It is very particular and is based on circumstances that only Travelocity will decide. Needless to say, I am very, very disappointed!!!

    I have spent several hours this morning trying to get the price advertised for my Travelocity reservation **. I made the reservation online for two rooms at a price of 76.49 per night on February 26, 2015. When I received my confirmation the charges were 135.15 per night. This was not acceptable so I contacted Travelocity by phone. I was told I needed to complete a guaranteed best price form on the Travelocity website - and I did that. I got a response that I would get approval within 48 hours. This did not happen.

    I did not receive any kind of information, so contacted Travelocity by phone today (March 2). When I called, I was told that the guarantee process would take 5 days. I was also given another price quote at today's rates which was even more than I was charged. I want the price quoted online on the date and time of booking, photos of which I sent to you. I am also in possession of a hard dated copy of that online quote.

    The solutions presented to me were to cancel and rebook, although there were no rooms available, and if I rebooked, the price was even higher than the 135.15 per night, or to book a cheaper hotel. I requested a confirmation of the same hotel at the same price I booked (76.49) which was clearly advertised on their website. I attached copies for their review and have a hard copy of the booking site.

The real big issue is that I paid the $26.00 insurance for the ticket if something went wrong, and couldn't use the ticket for whatever reason.

    Travelocity has a $200.00 dollar re-booking fee! The $26.00 dollars insurance is a joke, and won't help anyone out! The insurance is another way of getting money out of you, and is to make you feel better if something happens, but not the case at all! I lost my money for the ticket, and lost the money for the insurance, and if I wanted to book another flight with Travelocity? It would have cost me another $200.00 plus the ticket.

    Please go straight to the airlines in the first place to book airline tickets! They are much cheaper in the first place, and will truly help you out if you have to cancel your flight for whatever reason!

    Don't go there. If they don't have what you want (but what they advertised), they will NOT let go. We've spent 1 hour plus on the phone trying to cancel a reservation which is pending on our credit card but which Travelocity cannot fulfill. Imagine needing to resolve your issue from Zimbabwe (our destination). We've had confirmation from our credit card provider that this is SOP for Travelocity. Don't go there.

    I booked a trip from California to Phoenix through Travelocity several months before the actual trip. After I booked through Travelocity I spent over $600 on tickets to an event in Phoenix. Recently, Travelocity informed me that the airline "cancelled" my flight and the airline carrier offered new flights that would require me to miss the event that I am traveling to Phoenix for in the first place! After HOURS of being on hold (over three days) and speaking with 4 supervisors (only one that spoke clear English) the result was that I could either pay an additional $1,000 to book different flights, or cancel my trip altogether. Moreover, they would not refund my "vacation insurance." Thanks for nothing Travelocity; shame on you.

    So me and my friends decided to book a trip over the phone. First of all she did not tell us it was in US dollars, and she quoted us a completely different price. We got the confirmation email with the actual price and quickly called back. We got the same agent and she didn't even remember us booking. She informed us that we would get a full refund with no charges. Too bad that wasn't the actual truth.

    Between four of us we spent at least 10 hours on the phone with Travelocity. They ended up crediting my visa twice by accident. We called got it removed but they took a completely different amount. I called back again. Even though they were the ones who messed up they told me there was nothing they could do. So in total I lost 288 dollars because of their mistake. I am not happy and I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy. Thank you for nothing Travelocity.

    I called to book a vacation package to Disney for my daughter. Nowhere in the wording does it tell you that you will only receive "vouchers" that have to be scanned upon your arrival. In other words, you can't set up the fast past and other Disney amenities. Next, I called to upgrade the room from a standard room to a pool view room. The representative CANCELLED my hotel reservation and left me on hold to talk to a "package specialist". I hung up and called back to now cancel the whole reservation and they told me it would take TWO WEEKS for over $2600 to be put back on my card preventing me from rebooking with Disney. Not to mention it would cost me $92.00 in Travel Insurance losses because I cancelled four hours later. If you are going to Disney World with children - do NOT book through Travelocity. EVER.

    I booked a trip with Travelocity to San Antonio for a long weekend getaway and got the vacation insurance just in case. Heard awful things about Travelocity afterward so I called the hotel and airline to make sure everything was in order. It was surprisingly enough. Three days before my trip a co-worker got in an accident and couldn't work. Anyways I called to cancel and the guy on the phone was very clear and told me exactly how my refund would work. Got off the phone feeling pretty good. Called the day of the trip to make sure it was cancelled, and guess what? It was. I guess even a bad customer service department can do things right every once in a while.

    I booked a flight to London and also purchased the "cancellation" fee in case I needed to cancel. Due to the terrorist activity happening in Europe, I decided that I shouldn't travel to London at this time. I wanted to get a refund from Travelocity, but they said I would get a credit from United Airlines per their "rules." So, I now have a $1,321.10 credit. However, I cannot use this credit on any other airline except United. Okay, I accept that. So, I tried to book a flight from Orlando, Florida to Washington DC. May as well see many sites there and feel safer.

    Guess what? Travelocity has to now charge me a $300 booking (another agent at Travelocity said this fee would be $100 or $200) fee to change my flight from London to Washington, D.C. and to top it off, they want me to pay the $300 from my credit card. This after telling me the fee would be taken out of the $1321 credit. They will not take the re-booking fee from the huge credit I have. The entire experience has turned into a nightmare. I did not book my flight from Orlando to D.C., a flight that would have normally cost $208 (not including taxes, etc). This is extremely stressful and annoying. I was lucky that I paid the London hotel via Pay Pal and was able to get all of my money back or that would have been a double nightmare (I booked that one via Expedia who owns Travelocity).

    In June 2014, I purchased airlines tickets, travel insurance, and a hotel room for one night for a trip I have planned for February 2015. In December I was notified that my airline travel flights were going to be changed and that now I would be arriving in Buenos Aires at 7:40 pm on Feb. 15, 2015. My original flight plans that I booked back in June got me arriving in Buenos Aires at 7:30 pm on February 14, with a hotel stay that night before leaving on a cruise the following day. I informed Travelocity that this change was not acceptable and that I HAD to arrive on Feb. 14 because I was leaving on a cruise the following day. I was told there was nothing they could do to help me.

    After 4 phone calls to Travelocity (3 of which I was hung up on, including one call that promised me a refund, the last call telling me there was nothing Travelocity could do about the flight change and there would be no refund). I DID NOT purchase a plane ticket to arrive in Buenos Aires a full 24 hours after the original flight reservations, which is what the unauthorized changes made by Travelocity would end up doing to my travel plans. The flight they put me on gets me in after my cruise leaves port! No refunds, and my credit card company is not giving me a refund. I had to book my whole trip again on a different travel site getting me into Argentina on time. Contacting the BBB and Attorney General's office to file another complaint.

    When you input your travel information if the site doesn't process it on the first try they will come back with a different price and ask if that is ok. DON'T press OK. They have changed vital parts of your trip such as your return date or hotel stay without informing you and you will not be able to get a refund. We did not realize they rearranged our trip until it was too late and they will not help you. It is actually almost the same cost to pay for another one way trip. Terrible bait and switch tactics.

    First off, finding out the rental insurance purchased through Travelocity was NOT recognized by the rental agency really soured me for Travelocity, but the icing on the cake was when I wanted to change my flight return time. Needing to change my flight for myself and my spouse from Saturday 10 Jan, to Sunday 11 Jan, 2015 so we could attend a funeral, we called and spoke to a lovely customer service agent. She told us she found a flight, that would cost only $300 (and change) per ticket. She put us on hold, to finalize the transaction. Next thing, Marcus, a supervisor, comes on the line, indicating a cost of over $1,000 PER PERSON, to change the flight. When asked about the flight the first person found, at a much lower cost, he tried to retract what she said, by saying because Delta owned the tickets and the only tickets he could give us were the ones he found. After expressing our anger and displeasure at the exorbitant price increase, he proceeded with the tickets the first agent found. It turns out that Delta owned the tickets for the latter (and much cheaper) flight also. We will never use Travelocity again!!!

    For those of you looking to book a trip with Travelocity - be very careful. They pulled a very quick bait and switch on me and now I am stuck. I was on Travelocity.ca booking a trip for 54 nights to Barbados - the cost was shown as 1192.00 Canadian, not bad for the end of January. However when I pushed book it jumped me to the united states online site without me knowing. Until after I checked all of the charges.

    Needless to say I contacted Travelocity as I thought as a goodwill gesture they might refund some of the difference. Especially since the price of the exact same trip has dropped to $890.000 Canadian. With exchange that is over $500.00 difference. Bait and switch tactics, are not really the best way to do business. I contacted Travelocity on the phone number they provided and lo and behold I got connected to Expedia. Nice job to the both of them. Travelocity it appears owns Expedia and neither one of them give a rats behind as I got hung up and disconnected on 7 times before a live person actually listened. Then said tough luck, my fault - my problem.

    Everyone reading this be careful. Travelocity do not care their customer service at best on a scale of 1-10 is minus 500. Expedia do not care either. It was pretty neat I got to deal with someone in Egypt who then transferred me to someone in Philippines who then sent back to Egypt who disconnected me. A manager finally called me and said my mistake - my problem.

    Travelocity do not have customer service to speak of. They do not give ** one way or the other. Expedia is as bad or worse. Be very careful - once they have your money they do not want to hear from you whatsoever. The manager who was located in the United States of America was rude, arrogant and laughed at me basically, telling me in a polite way I’m the idiot that made the mistake - pay for it.

    After booking a trip on Travelocity.com where I agreed to a hotel and air price, I received an email stating that I will be charged an additional 200 for the trip for resort fee. This was absolutely not made clear before I purchased the trip. There is mention on the hotel site, further down on the page of a POSSIBLE resort fee that your room doesn't cover but this is not clear as to how it is decided who pays or that it is mandatory on ALL rooms. When I clicked on the room to book it and was given the final room price, no mention was made of ANY additional fees. This is back dooring a customer, it is fraudulent!

    This should have been made clear to me during my room selection. When I called travelocity they stated ALL resorts have these fees... I travel all the time and have never encountered this problem. They are misrepresenting the price of the room to the consumer and then telling the consumer it is fine to charge additional fees after the purchase. I spoke with two female reps and a male supervisor (mostly an hour and a half of me being on hold). I was hung up on twice during this time, the last time by the supervisor.

    On December 30, 2014, we called Travelocity to secure a compact car for travel in Nicaragua. We informed the Travelocity representative that we needed a compact car because my spouse had broken her foot and the car was needed as our prior plans included a fair amount of walking. The Travelocity representative e-mailed us a confirmation that our reservation was accepted and approved. It specified the time/date of rental, type of car, related fees, and other information. It included a confirmation number from Travelocity and from Payless Auto Rental. We then drove 1.5 hours ($60 taxi ride) from Granada to Managua.

    When we arrived at the Managua International Airport, the Payless Auto Rental representative said that there wasn't any reservation and that no cars were available. The Payless Auto Rental supervisor indicated that it was a Travelocity issue. When we contacted Travelocity, they contacted Payless Auto Rental and received the same response. The Travelocity representative initially tried to cover up the issue by stating that their confirmation e-mail included in big red letters some disclosure that auto rentals within 24 hours of pickup were subject to availability. This couldn't be further from the truth. There is no conditional language on the confirmation whatsoever. When I challenged him on this assertion (which was patently false), he said he was transferring me to a supervisor and then hung up. I will never book through Travelocity again as they are a worthless middlemen and don't honor their advertised travel guarantees.

    We booked a trip to Pensacola, Florida through Travelocity. Upon arriving at the airport we discovered that the flight they booked us on was full when we booked it. Seems after Travelocity finishes the booking and collects your money you are on your own. If the flight, hotel, or car are over booked it is no longer their problem and you will have to work it out on your own with the booked company. It cost us an additional $182 dollars to book business class seats in order to get on that flight and an additional $12 and night to get into the same room we booked from Travelocity. Their trip costs look lower than other agencies; however, the additional costs make a huge difference. Will use Expedia next time.

    I bought 3 round-trip tickets from Providence to San Diego for my family to attend my wedding totaling about $1500 plus the trip insurance. My sister's dr. told her she could not travel due to pregnancy complications. I called to cancel her flight and have them issue a flight credit in my name. They refused. After an hour on the phone with people from India I got a person who spoke English as their first language and they claimed to work a deal with Delta so that my sister's flight would be cancelled and I would receive a $274 refund on my credit card and a $200 flight credit for the balance when I rebooked. What actually happened was that my father's return flight was cancelled which was worth $274 and they issued a $474 flight credit to my sister (with no written confirmation to anyone that this credit exists). I found out while trying to print my father's boarding pass the night before his flight.

    I called Travelocity who accused me of cancelling the flight, they blamed me entirely for the mix up but confirmed their notes said I told them 3 times only to be sure to only cancel my sister's flight. Then they blamed it on Delta. They offered me a new one-way ticket for $700. After spending hours arguing with them I called Delta who blamed it on me and Travelocity, and refused to do anything about it. I had to buy a new one-way ticket for my father on US Airways for over $500. My sister still has not received a flight credit or any confirmation that she is entitled to a flight credit. They claimed the trip insurance did not apply because someone other than them cancelled the flight and denied the insurance claim. Classic example of what corporate America has become. Once they get your credit card number they take whatever they want from you.

    My booking on Lufthansa via Travelocity was unilaterally cancelled by Lufthansa two weeks after I made the reservation online. Three phone calls to Lufthansa (one in France, two in Germany--I live in France) informed me that they believed they had never received payment via Travelocity, although my bank statement showed the payment had been posted when I made the reservation. Lufthansa disclaimed any responsibility to refund me my money ($906.50) and insisted I contact Travelocity. Thus began a THREE-MONTH ORDEAL.

    I called the customer service number 7 times, each time paying for every minute during long "holds," with these calls totaling over 90 euros and resulting in my being cut off each time. Furthermore, I could scarcely understand the Asian accents of the service representatives and they never offered any willingness to return my calls at their expense, nor a convincing explanation why they could not do so. I also had a 17-email exchange with Travelocity's customer service online, with these emails eventually confirming that Lufthansa had unilaterally cancelled my booking despite receiving payment, but insisting that I return to Travelocity's telephone customer service to secure a refund.

    I waited until I was in the U.S. to call once again at a lower expense, and after 85 minutes on the line (this time costing me "only" $8.50 in mobile phone charges), going through every irritating step of the call-in procedure, the delays and holds, and the re-explanations of what happened, I was offered a refund of my fee.

    My friend and I wanted to book together both of our families over the phone a trip. We thought we would book over the phone that way it was the same time, same airfare, rooms in the same area and same amount. We were sure wrong!! First my friend talked to the lady/operator on the phone. My friend gave the operator her name, names of her family members, ages, her phone number, address, what plane seats she wanted and what room to reserve. Gave her her credit card number and the operator after a half hour gave her the itinerary number and the amount of the trip. Next the operator was talking to me. I gave her my name, family's names, ages, address, email, went over room to reserve, dates, and credit card number. I was waiting for the operator to finish typing or whatever she was doing on her end. She stated "just a minute please three times." Finally she summarized what we went over and then "Click", the phone disconnected!

    My friend and I called travelocity back. Of course we had a different operator. We explained that we were finishing my reservation and the operator could not find my account but my friend's reservation was done. Not good! My friend and her family were going and my reservation fell through. We tried to explain the situation to the operator. They were then giving us a different rate for me and stated there was not the same flights for my family. When we wanted to talk to a manager the operator states she would put us on hold and then transfer to the first available manager. Unfortunately when the operator did this the phone call would disconnect. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES!!!

    The operator stated that they were updating their phone system, so that is why it was disconnecting. They acknowledged our frustration, yet did not help take care of the situation or even try to call us back when they had our number. After four times of disconnecting, and 3 hours of this situation, we were afraid we would not have the 2nd family's reservation or trip made. So we went ahead and booked the second reservation online which only took a matter of minutes. Lesson learned. DO NOT RESERVE THROUGH TRAVELOCITY OVER THE PHONE! NOT HELPFUL. Also hard to understand, operators are based out of the Philippines.

    Arrived to our airport 1 hour early. Missed our flight as Frontier left 15 min early. Gate had an empty blank box where a boarding/flight info box would be so it looked as the flight had not arrived. Grabbed some coffee and returned to the gate - was never paged and delayed our trip for 27 hours. Travelocity had 0 compassion and the customer service is very, very poor.

    Received a $50 gift certificate from my son for Travelocity. Certificate is set to expire 11/21/2014. Planning a trip to Williamsburg VA thought I would book room through Travelocity to use certificate before it expired. Went to website to book room but could not find any place to enter gift certificate so call 800 number. After I had booked room and tried to use gift certificate was told they could not accept it. Went ahead and booked anyway and then contacted customer support to ask about how to have gift certificate applied. Received email that basically said I could not use certificate and tough luck have your money so we do not care. So plan to cancel booking and rebook directly with hotel chain at a cheaper rate. My wife plans to call to see what they tell her. I personally plan on not using them again.

    Travelocity has an ABSURD change policy. I had to move my outbound flight up by one day. The penalty was $200 for the change and another $103 for "fare increase".. They would not allow me to change only the outbound leg. I had to cancel the whole round trip flight and start over. I checked the direct websites of the airlines involved and I could have purchased that round trip for exactly the same price of $460, so there was NO BENEFIT AT ALL of using Travelocity, and to change just my outbound flight by 1 day was a charge of $200. PLUS they had to cancel and rebook the very same return flight which added another $103 to the cost. So I ended up paying $303 for a change that would have cost me $50 if I had booked direct with the airline. I will NEVER use Travelocity again.

    I rented a car through Travelocity for pick up at STX airport. The rental company was Ace Car Rental and the rate for the car was $254.25. When I arrived, I learned there was NO airport pick up for the car. I was going to be transported 30 minutes away to Christiansted to pick up the car. There was no one to meet me at the airport even though I had supplied my flight information. I tried calling the local provided telephone number which turned out to not be in service. When I dialed the 800# it turns out Ace Car Rental was actually Olympic Car Rental. When I finally go to the car rental facility, I was told a hold of $400 would be required to rent the vehicle. That was more than the price of the rental and comprised my spending money - nowhere on the contract was this exorbitant amount of money mentioned. Finally, I got a little car with hand cranks on the window. Lovely.

    Travelocity has taught me yet again (3 years since using them) they are the absolute worst place on the planet to buy an airline ticket. Use Kayak instead. Travelocity has created a website promoting wrong clicks that make them a lot of money. If you make a mistake while handling your reservation (it's so easy to do) and call them within 60 seconds to fix it... too bad for you. Changing a ticket is $200 for EACH TICKET. I was trying to cancel 1 of 2 passengers going on a trip. Most sites let you CHOOSE which passenger to cancel. Not Travel - O - Pathetic. They make it a 1 click cancel, the whole reservation, no choices. Just don't bother. What was I thinking? Our tickets cost $286. Cost to rebook: $200. Refund: $86. They are so "sorry". I'll say they are.

    Have used Travelocity several times in the past few years to book cruises, airfare, hotels, rental cars, etc. This time I am currently booked for a cruise. I had reserved and paid for an ocean view room. However my wife and I were deciding whether to upgrade to a balcony. When I checked the Travelocity website this morning 9-30-14, I found that a guarantee balcony was listed for $899.00. I then called Travelocity and spoke to Wes. I informed Wes of my Travelocity trip ID and that I wanted to upgrade from my ocean view cabin to a balcony guarantee cabin that was listed on Travelocity for $899.00. Wes then looked up the information and stated yes, the guarantee balcony was $899.00 and that he would place me on hold and call Royal Caribbean to have my cabin changed.

    After being on hold for fifty minutes, Wes came back and told me that the $899.00 price advertised on Travelocity was only for new bookings and that I DID not qualify for this $899.00 rate. I then ask Wes to explain why Travelocity was advertising a guarantee balcony for $899.00 and not listing that the price was only for new bookings. Wes spoke to supervisors and could not explain this false advertising to me. After reading all the negative reviews about Travelocity and actually experiencing this for myself I will never book through Travelocity again. It appears that all these negative reviews are true and Travelocity is going down the tube. You might get a good deal with Travelocity but eventually the bad will catch up to you.

I call again holding for 25 min. I give guy case no. And then I am cut off. I understand now why hotel owner tells me to call them to call him. He probably can't get through either. I had to stop my credit card causing huge issues for repeat monthly charges. I am sad to think in order to find hotel info you must use these sites in India and wherever and have no way to resolve an issue because you cannot communicate. 7 phone calls later I feel like no conclusion to my problem.

On 3 hours of sleep they were back at the airport where United put them on another flight home after much scrambling and with a layover in LA. The trip cost them additional food, lodging, taxi and missed work/meetings the next day. Travelocity said they had no control over what the airlines do and no reimbursement for hotel, zippo - nada, too bad.

    In hindsight it all seemed so simple. We were booked business class RDU to BOS to DUB through Travelocity on JetBlue and Aer Lingus. When we arrived at the JetBlue desk we were told that the incoming flight was delayed and we would not make our connection in Logan. The agent was unwilling to contact other airlines to see if we could make it; however, he suggested we could try. We booked one way on Delta and went back to JetBlue to confirm we would now make the connection in Logan. He again apologized and advised that since it was booked through Travelocity that is the route for refund of the leg not taken. He confirmed he would flag whatever was necessary to facilitate the refund. All sounded reasonable.

    We made the claim to Travelocity on our return and have received 4 claim refusals all based on what they say was a schedule change notified to us back in March. The change was the JetBlue flight going from 4.19PM to 4.49 PM, still plenty of time to make the connection in Logan at 9 PM.
    1: Schedule change, it was up to us to make new arrangements to our schedule prior to travel.
    2: Same excuse.
    3: Iberia cancelled the flights and we should have made new booking.

    4: Aer Lingus cancelled the flights and we should have made a new booking.

    After having read many complaints on this website of other travelers stories and of their losses that are similar to ours. I decided to write a brief summary of my experience with Travelocity. It’s a common trend with this company, and how they get so many Travelers with their offers and at the end don't comply and it’s a Scam. Before decided to go with Travelocity, I had visited several travel websites when booking a Cruise for my whole entire Family. I had arrange as a gift to take all 12 of them on a Cruise which departs this year in Oct. 11, 2014. Travelocity when I book with them, they told me, that I was given $125 for each person on board spending credit which would go on our Sail and Sign Card. The agent we book with said, once book and all we had to do is make sure we sign everyone in on the Carnival Website and it would be on our sail and sign card.

    Come September 5, 2014. We called and confirm to make sure all spending credit is still valid and it would be on our sail and sign card. Well, customer service said, no that we needed to fill out a redemption form. And that it was too late. We said we did not receive a form. She said "yes you did." Well, prior to all that we had call several times to ask to make sure we need anything else. Customer service in Travelocity, first all are very unprofessional, and not helpful. Everyone there gives you different information. Come to find out, yes a letter of confirmation was sent and that's when we book and in big Bold letters it said "you have until July 12, 2014 to paid remaining balance." This was a Cruise of 12 travelers we spent over $12,000 and the spending credit of $125 for each person was going to be very helpful. That's close to almost $1500, that now we have to come up with for each member for their spending, since that's what we told them they would receive.

    When we called back on 9/5/14, we ask to speak to a supervisor, and of course that was not helpful either. When ask for her name all you get is "my name is Roxy." No last name - very unprofessional for such a big Company. Very rude and not helpful. She even admitted it was a Scam they do to lure Travelers to go with them.

    We feel this is a very deceitful practice to offer a monetary reward/credit for using their services only to promise you something that is a suspicious misplacement of a form we know we cannot complete. I have read other travelers complaints, and I know we are not alone in this. The CEO Carl Sparks, we hear from us, and there has to be a resolution to this. This is not $50 or $100, this is a lot of money that we have been SCAM from.

Also the little express jet going to Quebec City (2 1/2 hr. Flight) was so tiny there was little chance of any extra room for those affected by the cancellation.

    The Travelocity best price guarantee is a scam - no matter how valid your claim is, they have created conditions in submitting a claim that you will never be able to meet. Here is my experience: The price of my exact package on their site dropped within 24 hours of booking, and I met all of their conditions of their best price guarantee, so I submitted a claim within the 24 hour deadline, looking forward to receiving a small refund plus a $50.00 travelocity credit as promised. When I hadn't received a response after 2 weeks, I contacted customer service.

    First, they denied receiving my claim, and told me I was out of time as 24 hours had now passed. A series of emails went back and forth in which they repeatedly told me I was out of time and I repeatedly told them that my claim was filed in time. Then, because I am a "valued customer", they finally allowed me to re-submit my claim, only to deny it because my screenshot did not show every single required component of the trip. It was not enough that it showed the same passengers, same exact flights, same hotel and same dates, with a lower price (which is about all you can fit into one readable screenshot).

    The screenshot had to show passenger info, flight info, class of service, hotel info, room type, car rental info and refund policy. All in one single screenshot? It would take at least 3 separate screenshots to show all of this information. Their claim form does not allow for multiple screenshots, of course. It did not matter that all of these components, were, in fact identical to the original trip I booked and that I, therefore, did meet all of their conditions. All that mattered was that I was not able to fit all of this into one screenshot to prove it.

    Their customer service is extremely frustrating to deal with as it is clear that English is a second language to them and they could not understand basic concepts, just giving stock answers that did not apply to my questions. I would never book through Travelocity again. I was only dealing with a minor refund plus a $50 credit this time, so I'm ok with walking away. But I would hate to have to deal with their customer service over a more substantial issue. Please, stay away from Travelocity and if you're thinking about using their price guarantee, don't bother wasting your time - it's a scam.

During my booking I was told there were three rooms left so I placed my reservation with the only stipulation being, I had a mini fridge and microwave, my wife is a breastfeeding mother and my other younger kids drink milk - anyways not unreasonable. I get there, express my concern and the owner laughed at me and told me to deal with it. So I turned to Travelocity, the people that told me there would be one. To make the story short I was put on hold more times than I can count, hung up just as many times and wasted my first day of family vacation getting my refund.

    The hotel people at the Bayfront Inn actually harassed us, my wife including. The room never got above 80 degrees and smelt very moldy and damp. The breakfast consisted of a warm gallon of milk, a box of feral and a loaf of bread . They were very unhelpful in resolving this and it was a lesson learned (never turn your back on motel 6). I would recommend never using Travelocity or Expedia. It turned out there were only 11 rooms booked in the whole 300 room hotel. It was horrible. My kids had runny noses and were actually harassed by the front desk clerk while we resolved the issue.

Customer service reprimanded me for not paying upfront (where was that option??) and not calling Travelocity immediately (I was badly jet lagged). Then they promised an email resolution within 48 hrs with no response ever.

Then the 3rd supervisor on my 3rd call to customer service put me on hold to finalize the resolution but instead hung up on me and never called back. When I tried calling back and explained the situation, I was put on hold over 20 minutes. I've spent nearly 5 hours on the phone with lots of promises and no action.

    I booked a flight from Buenos Aires to Bariloche, Argentina on LAN. They charged me a $292 change fee for a flight that was cancelled. Their call centers are somewhere in the 3rd world and they are programmed to tell you NO. I am disputing the charge with my credit card company. DO yourself a favor and NEVER USE TRAVELOCITY.

    After having read many complaints on this website my financial loss is very small compared to many other stories of losses in the hundreds of dollars, if not thousands. But it underscores a common thread with this company; inability to accept responsibility for their own mistakes and a callous indifference to their customer's needs to have those mistakes resolved.

    I visited several travel websites when booking a cruise for my wife's birthday and saw Travelocity offering an incredible $200 on board spending credit. Conditions to be met were booking the cruise by a certain date, which we did, and fill out some "form" by a certain date, which we did. This offer of $200 OBC was admittedly THE selling point which swayed my decision to choose Travelocity for the cruise booking. Fast forward four months and we are informed in a follow-up phone confirmation we made that the $200 OBC was now only $100 because the form we filled out to qualify for the additional and full $200 could not be found (conveniently) in their "database"!!

    Their 'resolution team' sent us a form apology, but reiterated policy is policy and could not accept any notion of mistake in their infallible computer system and still would not grant us the additional $100 OBC. Our subsequent emails fell on deaf keyboards. The only response was the original "sorry-Charlie-no-tickey-no washy" email. The cruise has sailed and we had a great time, no credit due Travelocity. We were sure to contact the cruise line and confirm all arrangements were in proper order before sail date.

    We feel this is a very deceitful practice, to offer a monetary reward/credit (OBC) for using their services, only to breach promise based on a suspicious misplacement of a "form" we know we completed. Quite frankly, we won't suffer any financial hardship over $100.. We know our pleas to Travelocity will go without resolve, because like so many big corporate entities we are acceptable loss. They know we will never never ever ever do business with them again, along with family and friends who also travel and use these sites. We made this clear to them in our communications. Is it worth the potential loss of trust and business from us and our family and friends over $100?! Evidently the Travelocity Team has decided it was not worth their aggravation to investigate our small problem, they had five weeks to resolve the matter.

    At last count we have sent alerts to over 50 people to seriously never use Travelocity and be victim to their practices! We hope more of you will read this and decide not to as well. Let's see how much acceptable loss they are willing to eat! Many more people will hear of this through our social media contacts, and in turn they will remember when using a travel site steer clear of Travelocity. That is our satisfaction!!

    I have had two occasions in which I needed to cancel and rebook reservations made through Travelocity. I encountered major problems both times with locating the reservation through customer service. The most recent incident happened today. I had rescheduled a flight several months ago and rebooked the flight for August. I paid hefty charges that amounted to nearly half of the cost of the flight. But, I dealt with the charges because I had no choice but to change the reservation. When I attempted to confirm the reservation prior to my day of travel, the agent was unable to find a record of the flight anywhere - they could not locate it using my name, my email address, the original reservation number, or the confirmation code that was sent to me via email. I was put on hold multiple times, disconnected, and finally spent 20 min on hold waiting to speak to a supervisor after the agent gave up trying to find my reservation.

    While on hold, I was able to locate the reservation myself on the US Airlines website - printed up my boarding pass just as the Travelocity agent came back on the line saying that there were a lot of people waiting to talk to the supervisors (can't imagine why...), and would I like to leave my number so the supervisor can call me later. No, actually I wouldn't. I told the customer service rep that I was able to find the reservation myself and that I would be writing a complaint to the supervisor, and said I would never, ever use their service again. In addition, most of the customer service reps I spoke with had such heavy accents that they were difficult to understand and they had a hard time understanding me - I had to spell everything for them multiple times. This only added an additional layer of frustration to an already aggravating process. Never again!!!

    After several attempts to redeem our credit with Travelocity, we were unable to book, and lost out on a total of $326.56. Nothing was offered at all during our emails with corporate, not so much as even a Travelocity gift credit for our troubles. The entire staff was extremely unprofessional and lacking knowledge & courtesy. We will never book via Travelocity again, and would never encourage anyone else to do so. When asked to provide proof of their statement that we were "informed that the flight must depart prior to August 1, 2015", they could not do so. LETTER TO TRAVELOCITY BELOW:

    "Dear Consumer Relations Representative, We are writing in to request a refund of $326.56, payable to ** or refunded to the card used to originally book the reservation. To explain, we booked a flight for ** last August and cancelled. The full credit was $566.56 less a $240.00 fee, making our total credit with Travelocity $326.56. We were told that the credit would expire in August of 2014, and that if we booked the flights prior to August 2014, the credit could be applied. We were told that the flights must be booked Air Canada outbound and United return, and we were given the following confirmation number: **.

    Yesterday evening, we called both airlines direct to attempt to claim the credit and spoke with supervisors at both airlines. Each supervisor instructed us that the credit must be redeemed directly through Travelocity. The agents at Travelocity were unhelpful. They could locate the ticket number (**), and explained that they could view the credit, but could not apply it. One agent explained that Travelocity had a system changeover in November of 2013, which resulted in data loss within the computer system. After an extremely lengthy attempt to reach a supervisor at Travelocity (90 minutes on hold), the supervisor explained that the credit could not be applied because it was too "old" due to the data loss back in November; however, this supervisor did express understanding that the credit had not yet expired.

    Next, we attempted to speak with a higher supervisor. We called Travelocity around 7:00pm CST yesterday evening and requested a call-back via the automated system rather than wait on hold. We never received a call back. This morning, we called again, and the final supervisor explained that the credit would not be able to be redeemed because the flight would have to be DEPARTING prior to August 1, 2014, not just booked. Please see attached purchase confirmation and cancellation confirmation. Nowhere on these two documents is this stated, and this is not the information we were given over the phone when we originally cancelled.

    At this point, we cannot spend any more time dealing with this situation with Travelocity. In whole, between calling the airlines and calling Travelocity, we have spent a total of seven full hours attempting to redeem this credit and resolve this situation. We have now booked both flights directly through the airlines (Air Canada outbound on 8/21/14 and United return on 8/23/14), and we have paid full-price for both of these flights, totaling $1,075.60. Thank you for your time in reviewing, and we look forward to your response."

    Booked a trip through Travelocity all-inclusive airfare and hotel for seven nights to Cancun Mexico on 6/3/2014. Left for our trip on 7/20/2014 once we arrived to the hotel we quickly found out that this hotel was not all inclusive. We have booked several other trips through Travelocity and never had a problem so we called the customer service number for Travelocity never expecting a problem because the traveling gnome is supposed to always help wherever you go whatever your problem may be.

    I spoke to first a gal named Macy told her what the issue was and that we were standing here on our vacation out of the country with $200 a piece. That we had booked an all-inclusive hotel and now have no access to food or water, could she please switch hotels for us to an all inclusive so that we could enjoy our vacation. "Sure, sure" she says "I'll look for another all-inclusive hotel for you". After waiting she comes back to tell me that there is only one room available in all of Cancun Mexico at the Me which would cost me another $2400 because it was a suite. After about 35 minutes of speaking with Macy I was totally frustrated and had started crying I then asked to speak with the supervisor. After waiting another 20 minutes Macy connects me to a supervisor named Pepper.

    Pepper is absolutely no help she offers me nothing more than what Macy had so totally frustrated. I told her I would like to go home she said "Sure, sure I can get you home for another $225 a piece". Are you kidding me? After an hour and a half on the phone still there is nothing resolved and I am now thinking of any way I can save this vacation so I ask pepper if she could talk to the hotel and try and get us some type of food credit. "Sure sure" she says and puts me on hold, after waiting again another 20 to 25 minutes she comes back and begins to tell me about the credit and lo and behold we're disconnected.

    I'm done at this point so my husband speaks to the lady at the front desk, she recalls Travelocity and once again were transferred to a supervisor and then we are hung up on by this time. You're talking over three hours of trying to resolve the situation on a vacation that we had saved our money for and now we are exhausted and haven't eaten since early this morning. The hotel I thought was feeling sorry for us and said they would upgrade us to a club level room which had little snack appetizers for breakfast lunch and dinner but that's all they could do. This was nice of them but we still had no actual food or water and the prices at this hotel were outrageous $20 for one hamburger and french fries. Well as you read earlier we only had $400 between us.

    Tell me who goes on vacation and loses weight!! When we returned home on 7/28/2014 I called Travelocity at 9:49 AM, at 9:52 I spoke with a man named Jesse started explaining my issue and what had occurred and eight minutes and 25 seconds into the conversation surprise surprise Jesse can't hear me and keeps saying "Hello Mrs. ** are you there?" Are you kidding? Give me a break. So I hang up and retry at 9:57 AM.

    I speak to another man named Devon tell him I'm not going into the situation to transfer me to a supervisor, he places me on hold at 10 AM. At 10:12 AM he comes back on the line Devon does and says "I'm transferring you to my supervisor named Evan." At 10:14 dead air no supervisor and now the hang up sound. I don't know, I have tried everything at this point and I don't see any response from Travelocity so I'm urging whoever reads this please do not use Travelocity to book your trip. I have contacted every social media outlet that I possibly can, don't know where else to turn.

    I have had the worst customer service experience with this company today that I cannot express my frustration enough. Having worked in customer service for 10+ years, I would have expected more from a company! After mistakenly booking my 79 year old grandmother a return flight on the wrong day, I called to tell them that I needed to change her flight since she was already left at the airport. They proceeded to tell me it was going to cost me at least $200+ which I agreed to since she is in no condition to camp out at an airport all night and it was my mistake. I was then put on hold multiple times while they were "helping me" for 20 minutes at a time only to be hung up on REPEATEDLY and told there was no flight and there was nothing they "could" do. After my 3rd call and 1 1/2 hours of wasted time I was notified that there was indeed a flight that she could have gotten on if the booking agents had helped me as soon as I had called originally, but now was too late!! But they were willing to give her travel credit "if" she qualified for future trips.

    Where is a 79 year old woman going to travel?? She only booked this trip for a last minute funeral. The fact that the agents felt it appropriate to talk to me rudely as my patience wore thin on this bait and switch run around is unacceptable. I gave up somewhere in between being placed on hold for the 4th time hoping I wasn't going to be hung up on as I had already been on hold for 10+ minutes again and proceeded to book her on a more accommodating airline. She will now be home in a couple of hours. I understand that the tickets are non-refundable and that is fine, it was my mistake I wasn't trying to get a refund. I am infuriated by the fact that travelocity was willing to let my stranded grandmother stay at the airport for over 12 hours because their agents could not get it together and help me get her home in an appropriate time frame for her age.

    This whole ordeal was atrocious!! I understand rules are rules but I thought helping out your customer is bottom line but apparently not if you are travelocity, even if you are willing to pay all the ridiculous fees especially since you pay everything up front, your hands are tied. They get to throw the terms and conditions at you and walk away with your money. I wasn't trying to get a hand out or get anything free. I was willing to pay for my booking mistake whatever the cost to not leave my grandmother stranded but that didn't matter. I will NEVER work with this company again and will tell every person I ever come in contact with how much of a joke this "customer service" is.

    Couple days ago, I booked a hotel for our San Francisco trip through Travelocity website. I picked their mystery 40% off deal. Deal advertised '4 star hotel in Fisherman Wharf area'. Once booked it provided me with a link to Hilton Fisherman Wharf/Financial District. Not exactly what it advertised but after checking the hotel website, it was close enough (0.8 mile) to Fisherman Wharf. Then once I received my confirmation number, the hotel listed is Hilton - Union Square!!! Completely different area of San Francisco, hotels in that area are around $20-$40 less than in Fisherman Wharf. My hotel was switched without asking me or offering me alternate option. False advertising at its worst!!! My guess is they oversold given hotel and decided to lie to their customer.

    I tried to resolve issue with Travelocity. Every email I receive from Arianne (signing as Travelocity Customer Service Team) sounds like generic email. All emails entitled 'Customer' saying that unpublished deals are final. That is not even trying to check into issue! I'm getting nowhere with their customer 'unservice'. Robotic generic responses without any personalized info or explanation to why the hotel was switched. Be warned about 40% deals because you going to end up in completely different location than advertised. I won't book via Travelocity again! $20 off the hotel website price not worth the hassle and lack of customer service.

    I would not suggest using Travelocity when booking a flight outside of the US. When I booked my flight to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico I was on the phone with the agent for over two hours and probably spent not more than 30 minutes actually talking to the woman. When I got to the hotel I was informed that they only booked it for one person, not 2, and that I would have to pay an additional $480 for the stay of the second person. Outraged, I called Travelocity and after an hour and a half on the phone with them standing in the lobby of the hotel they agreed to a refund of the additional charges. I am now on hold with Travelocity AGAIN (a week after my return from Mexico) trying to get my refund. I am an hour into this phone call and I do not expect that I am anywhere near getting my refund yet...

    My problem is minor compared to the others I have seen on this site, but it shows how Travelocity seems to be trying to trick people into making reservations that are not what they intend. Twice in the past month, I have received emails from Travelocity telling me the price for a search I had done has gone down. When I click the link it shows the hotel or air reservation page that I looked at - BUT it changes the dates from your original search, so if you don't look carefully you will book the wrong itinerary. The air reservation was ridiculous. I searched for Thanksgiving weekend and one of my searches was Thursday - Sunday. The cheap trip that came up was the same days and dates (i.e. Thursday the 27th and Sunday the 30th), but for September instead.

    My two sisters and I booked a reservation, yesterday, July 15, 2014 through Travelocity.com. We used them last year as well. We spent between the last two years almost $6000. We booked airline tickets, hotel, and a rental car. Going through their website, we put down all the information they requested and when we wanted to use our PROMO CODE, it did not have a place after I had entered my credit card number. I continued thinking it would be on the following page in order to do this. All of a sudden it tells me that the trip is confirmed and booked. I called them today, July 16, the next day, and tried to inform them what had occurred. It took me over 20 minutes from being shuffled from one person to another. I am on hold and then our power goes out (electric) so I lose the connection.

    Realizing this is not their concern, I attempted to call back on our landline. This time "Tony" answers the phone and tells me that if it has been confirmed and booked, I can no longer use this promotional code which amounted to over $150.00. I told him I wanted to speak to a supervisor since the lady earlier had advised me she would try to resolve the issue. He puts me on hold and I stayed there for another 20 minutes or more before I reluctantly hung up. I started this process of calling them at 11:20 a.m. I called back. This time after another 10 to 15 minutes, I go through their cycle again and I told them I needed a supervisor and he takes my number in case we are disconnected. After another 20 minutes or so, no one picks up the phone. This is suppose to be a supervisor mind you. Then after another 10 minutes, I receive a call and am told he will connect me to the supervisor shortly.

    I waited another 20 minutes at least, did my dirty dishes I had in the sink to try and at least think I had at least gotten something accomplished for the day. The time is now 2:30 p.m. Finally a voice comes on the phone, someone who can hardly speak English, and she is trying to tell me something and I am getting ever 4th or 5th word. I explain to her I am having trouble understanding her. So what I gathered from her, after informing her how much money we have spent over the last two years with their Company is that they will not honor my $150 promo code but will send me via e-mail a voucher worth $100 towards my next trip valid through July 2015. I had already informed her if they do not resolve this issue, there would not be a next year. All of a sudden the $150 dollars which should have been credited to my account is now $100 and valid for a future trip through them which is basically worthless. We don't even take our sister's trip until September each year.

    This company stinks as far as customer service and it will be a cold day in here before they see another dollar from us. I will be writing a letter to their headquarters but apparently from reading all the other complaints it will be useless. But you know what, it will certainly make me feel better and if people tolerate this kind of treatment and don't report it, others out there will suffer the same consequences. Don't use them.
