Travelstart fees not refunded when flight cancelle

We used the [URL Removed] services for the first time when we booked a flight from Windhoek to Lanseria on a flight that appeared in their list. We paid for the flight and the services of Travelstart. Four days before our trip we received a notification that the flight had been cancelled and that we would receive a refund in 6-8 weeks. The refund from the airline occurred within two weeks but the amount was less than the total that we had paid. On inquiry from Travelstart we were told, \You were only refunded for the airfare and not the Travelstart service fees as it is non refundable."I cannot understand how a company can provide bad service and then believe it should not be held accountable."""

Hello Marc-dj,

Thank you for your feedback on this forum.

I do regret that the airline booked cancelled their schedule unexpectedly. The full refund of the air fare was done as per the airline's instruction.

The Travelstart service fee is non-refundable as our service was utilised. We also continued to provide a service by liaising with the airline and applying the refund process.

I trust that the above clarifies why the Travelstart service fee is non-refundable.

Kind regards,
