Terrible Customer Service

What a terrible experience!! Booked a flight for 2 passengers through the web site, then later on received a message that the time of departure of the flight has changed. So then contacted them through the chat. After asking for new confirmation documents for the new departure time, the agent said "Hi" and then it went quiet for about 5 - 7 minutes, without responding. Only when I asked if the chat was still active, did the agent say that he is busy. Turns out that only one of the two passengers was put on a different flight. So the passengers on the booking was split to two different flights. So I phoned them. You can hardly hear the answering service and it sounds like they recorded the message in a construction site. Eventually got through to an agent. That was totally useless, since the agent could hardly speak English and I could not understand a word she was saying. Then I was put on hold and the call got disconnected. So I phoned again. Got through to a different agent, but had the same problem. This agent also could not pronounce the words correctly and I could not understand a word he was saying. I called again, were put on hold during the conversation and then disconnected. I called 6 more times and each time the call was put on hold and then disconnected. Every aspect of the service I received was unprofessional and frustrating. Don't think that they even deserve a full star!

 Thank You for taking my call.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. As you know, the flight schedule changes presented a number of challenges with some travel arrangements being disrupted or impacted in some way, so I understand your frustration and disappointment.
The decision not to travel according to the booked schedule was not your own, and therefore, we have done our best to present alternative options, and finally, with your agreement, we canceled the reservation and initiated the refund. 

Additionally, we have also sent an email regarding the concern of breaking up the passengers into two separate flights as it rarely happens. We will keep you updated as soon as we receive a response.

Would like to extend my apologies regarding the unintended experience on Calls and Chat support services, also thank you for bringing this technical fault to our attention so we can take the required action, ensuring seamless connectivity for your travel plans in the future.  


Kind Regards
Malika
