Description
Travelo1 claims to offer cheap flight tickets for domestic and international destination just like their competitors such as Priceline, Kayak, Cheap to name a few. Once you have found your ticket at the very lowest, you proceed to checkout providing the website all your credentials name, phone, address, credit card, and now you are given a Travel Booking number and the statement that reads "Tickets will be issued in 24hrs" upon completely checking out. After a few hours you will receive several emails saying "Oh no, your booking is pending, we were unable to process your booking, this could have happened for many reasons". At that point you are at the hands of allegedly (the voice and names do not match) "Zack Cartman", "James" or the supervisor "Mark Martin", they will claim the original booking "has restrictions" leaving you to believe you have no other options but to pay for a higher price ticket, ex. original ticket $444 and after they speak with you the same ticket is now $739 not including the cost of any checked luggage, carryon or personal item to be taken. As such, they will tell you they cannot refund and only issue you an airline credit when there is NO WHERE ON THAT SITE that states any of the sort. They desperately state "We tried everything" ******
