Description
I was looking for a cheap flight and saw that Travoport offered a fare for 358.90 for the dates I chose for my travel. They called me back 20 hours later to confirm the details. I was told that the price did not include the option the bring luggage in this 7 day trip! I could not even purchase it at the airport. Then they said they could give me more options to have the luggage option and increased the price to $1100 to have a “regular” airline seat. I tried to cancel the reservation and they round not allow me to do this. The credit card was not charged yet and things were not confirmed. I talked to a supervisor and they could not work with my dates with the original price increase. I finally was able to find a flight with them for 779.63 Iver $400 more than I originally made reservations for! What’s worse is that I couldn’t get out of reservation. This is the ultimate bait and switch. I didn’t want anyone else to fall for this!
