Disappointed in Travelstart's communication system

I have had the most terrible time trying to communicate with Travelstart recently. I have booked flights in 2019 for travel in 2020 and after South Africa went into lockdown we obviously couldn't travel anymore - but trying to sort out our tickets, get information on refunds or the moving of our tickets have been a nightmare. Having to fill in a contact form every time and not being able to reply to their emails or to talk to a person is exhausting ... I have to explain my story every single time as there are not a specific person handling the case. Would really just appreciate it if there were someone who could handle your case and explain how things work or what your options are. Responses also takes forever now.

Hi Marli,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Please note I have tried to open the booking to no success. I will be giving you a call back shortly to assist, I just need to get into the booking to be able to get the required information so that I may answer your inqueries.

Kind Regards,

Hi Melissa

Thank you for your reply.

After a few previous attempts I tried your whatsapp line again today and someone has now responded! :)

She has assisted in getting me a corrected refund quotation and asked me to send an email to *** to accept/decline which I have now done.

It was lovely speaking to someone, getting replies and having someone look into my case without having to re-explain my story to a new person every time.
Also felt great getting a same-day response!

Hopefully it continues this way.
Thank you for being willing to assist!

:)
Marli
