The company demonstrates a mixed reputation, with customers appreciating the competitive pricing and user-friendly booking process. Many users report successful transactions and commend the quick service and ease of navigation on the website. However, significant concerns arise regarding hidden fees, unexpected price increases, and inadequate customer support, particularly in resolving issues or clarifying policies. Complaints about website glitches and poor communication further detract from the overall experience. While some customers express satisfaction with their purchases, the recurring issues suggest a need for improved transparency and customer service practices.

Terrible. Don't trust this company. We bought tickets from LAX to London in Norwegian Air through Gotogate. Originally scheduled for March, due to the pandemic they were rescheduled for August by the air company and eventually got canceled. After several calls and emails, I still have not heard from Gotogate. Until two months ago they were sending out boiler-plate emails saying were "working hard" on it but not only they stopped but they don't even answer phone calls anymore. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUYS. TOTAL SCAM.
This so called agency which is in fact located in India that provides service in accordance with their local traditions, is a pure nightmare. After being on hold for nearly two hours I was told by a phone rep to hurry up since there is a lot of people waiting. The most disturbing part is that in the middle of a global pandemic they have the nerve to charge you $30 for a ticket change, not because you choose to do so, but because the airline has cancelled the flight and there is a need of rebooking. The price difference isn't much with Expadia or Orbitz, so give yourself a favor and deal with decent people. At the end of the day you will end up paying more plus wasting your nerves with these scumbags.
This website is just dishonest and they offer no refunds or service despite whatever their lies say in adverts marketing booking etc
They will leave you high and dry
2 months before my scheduled trip, the airline cancelled one of the flights on my trip due to COVID. However, GotoGate never communicated this cancellation with me at all.
By complete coincidence, a week before my flight, I called customer service to see if I could make a change on my booking. Only then was I informed that my flight had actually been cancelled. If I hadn't called myself, I would be expecting to fly next week. I would probably have arrived at the airport with my luggage and only then would I have been informed that the second leg of my flights had been cancelled. It wasn't even the first leg, so even by checking scheduled airport departures from my local airport, I wouldn't have found out.
By then, it would have been too late to ask for a refund and GotoGate would have kept my money. Absolute scam.
Recently, I booked a flight ticket through GOTOGATE travel agency from Narita (Tokyo) to Ishigaki, details are mentioned below
As I have to cancel the flight ticket due to the increase of Covid-19 cases in Japan as my Wife got Pregnant and the Doctor highly recommended not to travel anywhere because of the increase of corona cases. GOTOGATE agency told me to contact the airlines directly to cancel the tickets, And as requested by the airlines, I got the doctor's certificate and submitted to the Airlines (Peach Aviation) and the airlines have agreed to pay the full refund as I have the valid reason for cancelation
I am attaching a copy of the Doctor's certificate and confirmation from Peach Aviation regarding the refund which has made, but the travel agency (GOTOGATE) is asking for the 80% deduction fee (16,200 JPY) even though the airlines have paid the amount fully (20,980 JPY) which is highly unacceptable.
I requested multiple times with the GOTOGATE but they are not agreeing to reduce the fees
Due to the coronavirus my first leg was canceled and we were (after about 10 hours on hold with this c travel agent) they released the rights of the flight to Lufthansa and Lufthansa put us on another flight to new York When we were up to taking our flight back it was canceled so we turned to the airline. They said that we are entitled to a full refund for the flights but we have to go through the travel agency. So we called the travel agency waited on hold got cut off after 3 hours and this repeated itself a few times over after a few more tries and a five hour hold we were told that they are unsure of what kind of refund we can get but we should just pay them $30 dollars a flight and they will see what they can do for us. They then lied to the bank saying that our flights flew and the charges are legit
I have a email from the airline saying that they refunded them back in June I have not heard from them
Don't make this mistake there money hungry and obnoxious you will it regret if anything happens to your flight
Doesn't deserve any stars, doesn't deserve to exist.
Don't booked anything through them, they are inconsistent, incompetent, unprofessional and super rude.
When you called them expect to wait over an hour, and when you get someone, they'll give the wrong price once you paid, they canceled without letting you know.
Due to Covid-19 the arline change my flight adding 8 hours stop over... So I got on GotoGate website to cancel my flight...
Guess what no response to my requests, phone is not connceted and not even their HQ in Europe bothered to reply to my email.
I have got three Tracking number if you wnat evidence...
Do not risk your money it is a scam...
Booked twice, Flight cancelled by Airlines due to COVID-19, Although they received full refund from airlines, but deducted so called handling fees - Unbeleiveable...
Never again. Proffesional scam artists. Covid cancellation. No help getting anything back; 72 dollar fee on a 220 dollar for nothing with my ticket. Impossible to pin anyone own and once they had my money i was on my own even though the government shut the state down. Houcs on hold and hung up on several times they prey on unsuspecting clients. God help you with this horrible company.
Never resived my flight confirmation, have to buy another flight. Worst place to buy ur ticket. Horrible customer service, they all thefts
GOTOGATE booked ticket via a route which was not allowed destination country and airport authority declined me to board.
Return flight was also not showing in the airline itinerary but gotogate provided a confirmed ticket.
They never returned ticket cost and never cancelled all they said that it is mistake of Airline, airline people are not aware of rules.
Furthermore you need to wait minimum 30-40 minutes for single call or 1-2 days for email reply so no urgent help available.
If someone know a way I can make a complaint against them in Canada then please let me know I have all proof and call recordings.
GOTOGATE is a total scam company. I am totally disappointed and angry…. They have refunded my money back after deducting £30 for flights cancelled by Turkish Airlines for no fault of mine. What's the excuse: processing charges. I have now requested refund of the balance but there is no response. There must be some way to bring this company to court…. AVOID GOTOGATE! And its related companies. The order details had been already furnished to the company several times! Total time and money wasters! The company management hides in Sweden! This company has other similar companies like mytrip.com, supersaver, flight network etc. AVOID
Go to gate is fill with liars and thieves who will lie to you with every breath they take. We should get a lawyer and file a class action lawsuit against this scam company and shut it down. Someone stole my card information and booked a flight from indonesia and I called the company to reverse the charge and I had to spend a month with my card provider telling me to resolve with these scammers. These people only try to lie to you to waste your time and hope you give up. If someone is up for a class action lawsuit I'm definitely interested. Bury these scammers
This agency is the worst at customer service and providing alternatives, and for refunds it takes for ever to give, and their agents/representatives are rude.
NEVER EVER book a flight with this company
Gotogate is a scam, I waited 7 months for my refund for the flights cancelled by the airline and apart from an automated message that the refund is pending, no communication from their side. Frustrated I claimed on my credit card and now they have come back saying the charge back is invalid because the restrictions were imposed by government and hence the flights were cancelled and since I ticked a box on their site that I accept all their terms and conditions I cannot claim on credit card. This company is not ATOL protected so they are free from all regulations. Below is from their website
ATOL protection
Do my tickets include ATOL protection?
Our agency is not subject to the ATOL protection regulation. Any travel protection (insurance) should be purchased separately either during or after the booking process.
I don't want to waste too much effort here...……. Just find another company to make arrangements with. Gotogate is the worst I have ever used. Horrible, just horrible.
I'm so livid right now whatever you do don't check-in online with gotogate. They charge you extra fees with no explanation, they have horrible support and wait time when you call. I've been in queue for almost an hour now and they charged me $150 for a $50 luggage charge. It absolutely horrendous, do not recommend for anybody ever.
This travel agency doesn't have phone... they don't answer emails... once they take the money no more communication
Answer: Yes they are scammers operating from unknown destination No phone number and no e-mail correspondence Criminals that stole my $1800 with no apology
Answer: Dont bother mate they have stolen your money like over 2000 other people goto your bank and airline and start to gather evidence.
Answer: Passengers' money is too little, who cares. Even if you were cheated, as an individual passengers, you won't shake the whole tree. They want your money, nothing else, like a pirate or thief.
Answer: They grabbed the credit card from passengers, of course, they will take as much money as possible from your bank account. The break the policy from the US department of transportation, but they don't care, they want your money. The best thing is not to purchase ticket from their website. Stay away! https://www.going.com/guides/refund-for-fare-drop
