Discovery travel - Absolutely shocking service

Discovery Travel - absolutely ridiculous service - You cannot get hold of anyone telephonically . I held on for 1h30 mins - and was promptly cut off at 5pm, without ever reaching an agent. Your working hours are 8.30-5pm - I phoned at exactly 8.30am and have been on hold for 42 minutes already -still no one has answered the call ! How is this considered - "the best service possible" ? Your excuse is -the coronavirus pandemic - we are now almost 2 years in to the pandemic - surely by now you can come up with a better working solution to your high call volumes ? I am absolutely horrified that this is considered service - very very poor ! Please can someone from discovery travel contact me URGENTLY

Thank you for your AUTOMATED reply - unfortunately that does not help me or resolve my issue.
After 48 hours - still no reply to my emails. I held on for 1h 50 mins yesterday and then gave up !
I phoned your Discovery line in desperation and was told - "you will just have to hold on like everyone else" - If this is the "standard" the very least you could do is make it a toll free line - then I could hold on for 8 full working hours and possibly get the issue resolved.

Thank you - one of your agents has just contacted me and resolved my issue .
What a pity one has to resort to a bad report on hellopeter to get it done.
Thank you to the very kind and efficient Lazelle who sorted me out.
