Flight centre - shocking, poor customer service.

My most recent experience has totally changed my opinion on Flight Centre. They have surely lost me as a customer. The service in the past week or two is horrible. I feel that the agency is now gone to the dogs and are trying to swindle us customers out of our hard earned cash. Mind you, some of us are not travelling for fun. My wife missed her father's funeral due to Covid restrictions. She was therefore travelling for the memorial service. Unfortunately due to the recent confusion on rushed regulation changes between countries, we were forced to abandon the trip. Five days before the flight, My wife informed Flight centre via email that she was cancelling the booking and they must assist with a refund. Email came back that no refund permitted but the ticket will be left open till 30 June 2022. Today, someone calls informing us the ticket is forfeited blablablah...WHAT NONSENSE IS THIS? The call agent even dropped the call on me. On the day we sent the initial email, your contact number were ringing answered, even the so called emergency number. Till today it is not easy to reach flight centre on the contact numbers provided. Anyone experiencing the same poor customer service, please share.

#Either refund or keep tickets open as you indicated
