ABSOLUTE *******. Paid R1796, only getting a refund of R254,48.
I had to unfortunately cancel my flight as I had some things that popped up in my agenda that I can not miss. I contacted Travelstart, letting them know that I would need to cancel. A quote was sent to me for my first request of cancelling my "one way flight" back from Johannesburg to Durban, as I thought I would be able to get a reasonable amount of refund and book a new ticket that compromised with my schedule. This was the response which is as follow straight from the email I have received. Fare and Taxes :R 847.69 Airline Penalty :R 720.40 Refundable amount :R 127.29
Then upon my second request, I had asked to cancel my full flight (Durban to Johannesburg and back), thinking that my refund would be at least half or a quarter of what I had paid originally, but no. To my surprise: Fare and Taxes :R 1569.98 Service fees and Travel Extras :R 226.02(nonrefundable) Airline Penalty :R 1315.40 Refundable amount :R 254.58
I was extremely confused and mad about the fact that I don't even get half of the original amount that I have paid. Their cancellation policy was extremely vague. PLEASE MAY YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
Good day
Thank you for your feedback. Please could you provide me with your Travelstart reference and contact details via private message so that I can look into your query.
Please note that cancellation penalties are determined by the airlines and not by Travelstart. We need to abide by the amounts determined by the airlines.
I look forward to assisting you in the this regard.
Kind regards
