First and last time!
I have always booked flights directly through the airlines themselves and this time I thought I would try Travelstart because I could easily book with different airlines and could just contact them if I needed to change the date or time of my flight. WOW, it has been anything but a pleasant experience! Little did I know what a mission it would be to try and speak to a human being and get some assistance. My BA flight from JHB to PE had been re-scheduled by the airline by 6 hours and so I needed to make another plan. This morning I waited on hold for about 35 minutes (after being told 22 minutes) when I eventually got through to someone! Unfortunately I was not given any helpful information. I was told to contact BA and they would re-book my flight; however when I called BA they said that Travelstart has to arrange it from their side. I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place now. Their call centre also closes at 1pm on a Saturday until Monday morning!! I am now going to incur much higher fees to move my connecting flights because I can only sort it out on Monday, and I am supposed to fly early on Wednesday morning. This will definitely be my first and last time booking with Travelstart!
Thank you for taking my call.
I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused on the booking. I have checked and it has been reprotected to alternative flights and the email has been sent to you for the updated ticket information. I will be addressing your concerns with the agent who took your call on Saturday as you should have not been advised to contact BA Comair and I can see that the agent placed the booking on the system for the relevant team to assist.
Our aim so to ensure that your travel plans are taken care of and for it to run smoothly and not put you under strain or pressure. Your feedback is valuable and I want to thank you for taking the time to relay your concerns to me.
Wishing you a good day further.
Kind Regards,
Melissa
