Description
Travelo1 will advertise very low flight fares and flight availability. Naturally, you will want to purchase the tickets as it comes across as an Expedia type of purchase making you think it is legit. Once you make the purchase, they will call you to confirm the tickets. However, the tickets you selected will 'not be available' and you will have to choose other flight times, days, seat class, etc., which will be hundreds of dollars more than the ones you thought you were purchasing. When you ask to speak with a manager, they will say they are the manager. If you hang up and call back, that person is also a manager. Apparently everyone at this place is a manager and there is no real supervisor person you can speak to. They also claim that they do not allow refunds and are not subject to the same 24h cancellation policy as the actual airlines themselves. Also - they will tell you that the ticket you have chosen does not allow for a checked bag, carry on OR personal item. When you tell that that's fine, they will argue with you about how will you travel with no luggage. On top of the above, the company continues to call, text and email you multiple, multiple times a day to 'confirm the tickets'.
