No way to cancel or communicate with them.
This is really a horible service, I booked international flights for this week Thursday 01/04/2021 and it so happened that I have now tested positive for Covid 19 and I am trying to contact Travelstart to cancel and there is no way to get a hold of them, their whatsapp chat gets no response once I mention my issue. Really frustrating service.

08 Dec 2021, 13:42Update: It has been 9 months and I still have not gotten back my refund from these guys. Travelstart will gladly take your money and once you need support they go MIA. What a horrible experience trying to get ahold of their support team. l need my refund.

13 Dec 2021, 15:03Hi Delan,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
I have checked the booking and can see that 1 of the tickets had been refunded in April, however the other ticket we are following up with the airline as this ticket for some reason is under investigation. I have asked the team to follow up and revert back to you.

13 Dec 2021, 18:23Refunded to who in April? Because I have not received any refunds from you, how does this take so long, if you do not have these processes in check I don't think you should take people's money or try to be a travel agency in the first place. Who did you refund to?

05 Jan 2022, 22:20It is now January of 2022 and I am still waiting on a refund from March 2021, travelstart is the worst platform for booking flights, rather make the effort to book direct and download airline apps you would actually get a better service, direct communication because this platform has so much risk in you losing your money even if you make a booking that allows medical refunds. It takes a year to get back a refund after you actually took half the ticket money. The only communication you will ever get from them is only if you write here on hello peter because they try to save face, there is no way of phoning them or getting your emails responded to, now isn't that the definition of shady business practises. I want my money back. l booked a ticket with health risk refund for a reason and l did not call covid upon myself. And it can not be a year without this being resolved.

11 Jan 2022, 12:42Hi Delan,
Thank you for the revert.
I have checked the booking and the only outstanding funds is the Airlink booking and this takes 6-12 weeks depending on how long the airline take to conclude the refund on their end. This is out of our controle as these are the airline regulations.
Please keep an eye on your account for the additional refund to reflect.
Wishing you a good day further.
Kind Regards,
Melissa
