Don't ever make a booking with Travelstart.com

Don't ever make a booking with these guys. They are a bunch of snakes.

I am currently trying to revert a flight back to the original terms that they altered without any authorisation.

This is what happened:

A 3rd party made an **inquiry** about the costs of amending a flight via telephone and it was understood that a link to **confirm** any such changes would be sent via email.

They somehow took this as confirmation to change the existing flight, and, instead of sending a confirmation email, sent a email requesting payment for changes.

Furthermore, the cost quoted on the phone did not reflect with the costs outlined in the email. Thus even if any changes were authorised, they were done under false pretenses.

Currently have been trying to amend it. But be warned: Do not ever book with these garbage people, they will **** you over if they can.

Why does your email as of 9:30PM not address the fact that number quoted to the 3rd party for the amendments was a blatant lie? Your company is staffed by grossly dishonest people.

Additionally, after speaking with the third party, she has confirmed that it was understood that further confirmation was to be required by the person who originally booked the flight. You are taking a fat chance.

Regarding the costs of amendments that were lies. > Suppliers are not permitted to provide false, deceptive or misleading representations regarding services and products. - http://www.saconsumercomplaints.co.za/your-rights/ TravelStart is thus incapable of dealing fairly and honestly and figuratively spits on the CPA.

Travel **** is now claiming that possession of information such as a Travelstart booking reference automatically grants approval to third-party to make changes. This is a complete joke and completely unacceptable. Firstly, such information was provided to the third party to meet me at the airport. Secondly, to reiterate the third party never requested a change to be made, but rather a link to **confirm** a potential change. Finally, TravelStart is still currently failing to provide any proof that their version of events is different from what the third party (who I trust far more than Travel****) has stated. Please send the contents of the call immediately, as already requested, so this can be resolved.

Possession of a flight reference is NOT approval to make unauthorized changes to tickets. TravelStart is seriously deluded.

Additionally, the last email received still fails to address the discrepancy between pricing conveyed to the third party and the cost *demanded* via e-mail. Very dishonest to ignore this part of the complaint entirely.

We also do not appreciate that you are now demanding **even** more cash per the most recent two emails. You run a ***** business, to be quite honest.

Thanks for the recording, now will you address the FACT that the rate conveyed in the recording was not the same as the rate conveyed in the confirmation link?
