However, significant concerns arise around customer service, particularly regarding unresponsive support, issues with reservation confirmations, and difficulties in modifying bookings.

Zero Stars
February 27, 2023

Zero Stars! The Customer Service of travelup is not answering emails for days. It was a simple Service sending a Secure payment link for a Flight change. Since 3 days we are waiting for s respond, called the Customer service and they promised us that the responsible admin officer will send us the link the Same day. Nothilfen happened. I am shocked by the way Travelup is treating me as a customer because it is Important to confirm the Flight change as we have to Book our corespondance Flight. It is a simple Email with a payment link, Travelup even earns Money with that. If you Need assistance regarding booking management Travel up is a desaster

However, we do not cancel the tickets abruptly, unless there is a flight cancellation, or an unconfirmed booking notified by the system at times, since our website is linked to a live flight system, availability or tariff can unfortunately change in line with demand.

Hi
I bought an airline ticket and upon receiving the confirmation i noticed a wrong date,i sent two requests via the website and an email to cancel the ticket.
I also phoned the company,it took over an hour to get an answer and was asked to send an email.
Travelup did not cancel the ticket on time and simply refund me 300 GBP from over 900 GBP when the airline allow free cancellation within 24 hours.
These guys are well-trained professional crooks,do not send them anything over their website as per their T&C only email considers notice ( even after a proper notice was sent they still did not cancel the ticket).

Good afternoon,

Thank you for notifying your concern to us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused you. We have made a note of your feedback and shall share this with our designated team.

Owing to the current volume of flight cancellations by the airlines, we are witnessing an unusual increase in the number of calls, hence the customers have to wait for long waiting times in the queue. We are deploying additional number colleagues to look after the maximum number of calls and hopefully the issue would be resolved very soon.

However, we completely disagree with your statement as the booking is made on the website with no manual intervention of our team involved in it, therefore the discretion of the booking lies under your responsibility to cross check the details thoroughly before confirming the ticket.

In addition to this, any cancellation which you initiate is called a voluntary cancellation by the airline and they then apply the charge and penalty for the cancellation accordingly.

If you looking to discuss things, we will request to you to kindly email us your concern at [email protected]. We are more than happy to help you.

Kind Regards

It was my first time using Travel Up
February 22, 2023

It was my first time using Travel Up. I booked my flight on BA to Costa Rica and got the confirmation which said "hand luggage only."
Immediately I called customer service and they said I need to call back after 9am tomorrow. I went to the BA website and it had no record of my reservation. I decided to cancel my reservation immediately. I called back and could not get through. I called the next morning (maybe 12 hours later) and had to wait over an hour to get through.
Once I got through the agent said there's a fee to cancel (75 British pounds). I had to respond to an email saying I was ok with a refund minus the fee. I made a note in my journal: DO NOT EVER USE TRAVEL UP.

Good morning,

Thank you for notifying your concern to us. We apologize for the inconvenience caused you. We have made a note of your feedback and shall share this with our designated team.

Since the deals that you check on the website are all promotional deals readily available with us and are exceptionally found elsewhere. Henceforth, the customer is always recommended to check through the essential details of their booking before confirming the ticket on the website as this is your responsibility to verify things before you go ahead further, therefore, we once again advice all the customer to first get assured about the cancellation and then proceed with the same hereafter.

However, every confirmed booking, comes with the charges for cancellation applicable once you decide to discard your booking, which is what informed to you over the cancellation of your booking.

If you are looking to discuss things, we will request you to kindly send us your concern at [email protected], so that we could assist you properly.

Kind Regards

Poor cheats DO NOT USE
February 15, 2023

I had a connecting flight from Heathrow to Manchester. The main flight was delayed by an hour by virgin, and they advised that i am likely to miss my connecting flight, so to re-arrange that.

So i rang them on a Sunday and was advised that the rescheduling department is closed and will open tomorrow and to ring back then.

I rang on Monday and spoke to someone with a bad Indian accent and poor command of the English language (Name Given was: Francis Norris - yeah right). He told me that an hour for a connecting flight is a viable time. Then went on to say that the rescheduling department does not take calls and only uses emails. However, another passenger on the same flight had re-scheduled their flight only on Saturday.

So currently left in limber as do not know if i will make the connecting flight?

Booked 2 flights with BA to Italy via Travel Up. BA cancelled flights. Tried to get money back but Travel Up make is almost impossible by not answering calls or emails. After a month I was told I'd get some money back but Travel Up would keep £165 as admin fee.

This company is borderline illegal and 100% horrific and evil!

Awful company, mess up everything then ignore you
February 11, 2023

Discusted with this company. I paid for airport parking and they put down the wrong arrival time of my return back to the airport, even though the flights were also booked through them! So my car will now not be ready to pick up on my arrival back to the airport. Also they did not even put my car reg plate number into the meet and greet system so the barrier will not lift up on my approach to the meet and greet entrance now, I emailed them to fix their mistake and they completely ignored me.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THIS COMPANY!

They take your money and mess everything up then ignore you completely.

After our return flight was cancelled from Goa the 'silver service' that I had paid an extra £75 for was appalling / non existent. Definitely don't bother taking this out. It ruined the last five days of our holiday as we didn't know if we could get home and we received virtually no communication from Travel Up. It was the most frustrating time ever.I'll not be booking with them again.
