**************** and bad service

I needed to cancel my flights and waited more than 10 days to get a cancellation quote. a few hours before my flight were due, I get a quote and to my disgust the refund amount was the worst part of it all.

R2000 for tickets and a R727 refund quote - infants tickets can't be refunded. This is absolutely appalling and a disgrace to refund such a little amount. You pay R2000 for your flights and the cancellation amount is 3/4 of the tickets. How do you justify R1200 odd to cancel 2 tickets on the system. What work was really involved to cost so much for a cancellation.

Dear  Charleen,

Thank you for taking the time to speak to me this morning.

As discussed, please be advised that Travelstart operates as a third party and therefore, we need to adhere to the cancellation conditions as stipulated by each individual airline.

As per our terms and conditions https://www.travelstart.co.za/lp/terms-and-conditions : " Note that all tickets carry different fare conditions as imposed by the relevant airline. The ticket you are purchasing may only be partially or non-refundable.

In addition, we also advise on our terms and conditions that 'Principals may charge cancellation fees over and above the cancellation fees charged by Travelstart in terms of this Condition" - this means Travelstart
can charge a processing fee for processing the refund of the ticket as per airline's conditions.

All this information is available to you on our website...
