<p>Hi,</p> <p>Last week Thursday morning I was trying to book a flight to DNB from OR Tambo for my girlfriend on the same day at the Computicket Sales counter in Checkers Greenstone Shopping centre. At 9:05 in the morning I was quoted R667 for an airline ticke via Kulula. I was quite happy to pay the price and agreed to purchase the ticket at this price. then once the Teller captured all my girlfriends details and I was ready to pay the prices was then suddenly changed to R997. Apparently all the prices changed while the lady over the counter was capturing the required information.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is akin to thievery in my opinion. I was offerred a ticket at one price. I agreed to this price and then to be told 5 minutes later the price has increased by almost 50%. </p> <p> </p> <p>In the end I had to pay the higher price for the flight. It would have been fine if I had never seen the other price. I am aware that prices fluctuate and they do change all the time but I was shown a screen with a price option which I agreed to only to be told a few minutes later after caputring information to process the sale at the agreed price that "oh no sorry the price has gone up" . </p> <p> </p> <p>I paid the price but would have expected a corporate to honour the price that they quote the consumer. not to go and increase it by almost 50% in a matter of seconds. rather disappointing. </p> <p> </p> <p>I am though not sure if the problem lies with Kulula or Computicket. But I just felt like sharing my story as to how in a matter of seconds after agreeing to a purchase at a specific price the price is then increased by close to 50%. Doesn't seem fair to me. Especially if I agreed to the price that was shown to me for the airline ticket. If I had gone away to think about it and then comeback it would be fine if the price changed. That I can understand. But why offer me one price and then while you collect information from me to conclude the agreed sale you go and increase the price by a m***ive margin. I don't think this is very cool</p> <p> </p>
