Rather satisfying
June 22, 2024

There was a confusion about the luggage tranfer during the layovers and my question was not answered - I was asked to check with the airlines directly and since there are several airlines it is rather time consuming. Since the whole trip was sold to me as one ticket I would expect the travel agent to handle my request.

Unspecified hidden fees
June 18, 2024

I had booked my flight through jetsco website, which was initially cost AUD $837 per person, somehow the site diverted me to other website - known as smart travel. Henceforth, I was then proceed to final booking knowingly the price remained as AUD $837. Upon receiving the flight confirmation from my email, I was then compared it with my bank account to ensure figure/charges were consistent with the invoice. I realised that there was hidden fee of extra approx. AUD $40 person due to inaccuracy of foreign currency conversion. On top of that, I also got charge from the bank - international transaction fee as the site was seemingly located in different region. Overall experience, I was very unhappy about how the smart travel did not specify clearly any fees incurred for the booking.

Satisfecho previo al viaje!
June 16, 2024

Pude comprar el pasaje al mejor precio, incluso se me envío la confirmación con el número directo de reserva de la aerolínea, con esto me quedé tranquilo y espero ahora recibir el Check In, previo al viaje. Tuve dudas por otros reclamos, pero hasta ahora todo bien y espero tener una travesia y experiencia positiva. La primera llamada telefónica no fue muy satisfactoria, me cortaron la primera vez, pero la segunda respondieron mis consultas, personas extranjeras.
