REFUSAL TO CHANGE OR CANCEL TICKET ON SAME DAY

Booked a ticket online yesterday 29/3 @15h06 for my mom of 91 from Jhb to CT, but discovered at 19h08 that ticket was from Lanseria Airport instead of Oliver Tambo. I immediately emailed Travelwings for a change of flight from OT for a later time on same day or any other day, but was told it had to be cancelled/changed before 12h00am on same day 29/3. My email clearly stated my contact details, yet they only contacted my mom (91 and hard of hearing), whose phone was flat after 12 hrs power outage in Benoni. I offered to pay in any difference for the change to Oliver Tambo, or or even a later time from Lanseria on same day, as it is impossible for my sister to get my mom to Lanseria 1-2hrs before flight @1,25 hrs drive in peak traffic from Benoni, yet Travelwings refused!! I am livid and outraged - will never ever use them again!! Most unhelpful supplier! Furthermore, their staff are inaudible/not at all conversant or clear English speaking. This was a dreadful experience on every level!

Hi Ms. Angelene,  We regret to know that the situation has occurred because of an incorrect Airport selection.  We tried checking the alternative and also the rerouting but as we are obligated to follow the airline's rules we are trying our best to get you the alternative at the most nominal price.

The representative tried contacting you on the registered number but unfortunately was not connected to any, we tried reverting you to the email as earliest as possible so the best resolution can be served. 
We have sent a request to the Airline for the amendments and will keep you posted with the updates.
