  I had purchased a ticket for my boyfriend who was in Dutch harbor Alaska to fly to anchorage alaska . He had went to the airport in ************ to fly with Raven they stated there was no ticket for him and when I called they canceled the ticket stating he no showed. Even though he was at the airport . When I had called to talk to a representative at the ******************** she stated yes ravn flys here but its in another area of the airport . I was talking to a lady with ****************** . So she gave me number for ravn and told me to call them . When I called I spoke with a ***** and she stated yes it looks as though his ticket was canceled as a no show I explained he was in the airport but apparently not where he should be. She never explained to me that they do not fly out of Dutch harbor my ticket was for Unakleet not Unalaska . ***** never explained to me that they dont fly out of Dutch harbor and they only fly out of anchorage etc never said to reschedule this flight Im waving a cancellation fee just rescheduled it for next day and told me to have him there early so flight not canceled . When I found out as he went there second day that this ticket is for Unakleet and not for Unalaska and the difference I was so upset . They was rude and said no refund it was an honest mistake Im not from Alaska to know the difference they issued me a voucher but a non working voucher for only to fly with them for the 635 . I said I have no use for it just need refunded to get my boyfriend home . They stated they explained a bunch of stuff to me that was not explained I feel ***** typed a bunch of lies to cover her **** . If Id known all this Id never of had her reschedule the flight for following day . Now I have a voucher I cant use because its only for Alaska flights and its a non working voucher . They are liars and customer service is horrible . When asked for someone higher than manager ***** they basically said no refund . I never got phone call all email

  I bought round trip tickets for myself and a companion to travel to ***** from ********* in July of 2024. My companion was unable to travel due to Covid. **** gave a credit for the unused ticket that was good for 1 year. I travel to ***** yearly to visit my siblings ( I live in **) I was planning to use my credit to purchase my tickets this year. My sister notified me that Ravn suddenly stopped flying to and from ***** on 3/4/25 ( She had tickets for 3/6/25 and was not notified by the airline) I have tried calling repeatedly, left my number for callback several times and sent email. I have not been able to reach anyone or gotten any response.

  I had a flight booked with Ravn air. When I arrived to the airport at 7:05 am for my 8:30 flight, there was no one at the baggage desk to check my luggage or print me off a boarding pass that showed that I had a lap child. Because my boarding pass didnt show a lap child, I could not go through TSA with my daughter. This caused me to not be able to make my flight and have to purchase another for me, my husband and daughter.

  Purchased a First Class fare tier from ********* ** to ******* ** on 02/06/2024 for travel on 02/09/2024 and return flight 02/12/2024 with Economy Preferred fare tier.The cost was $228 for and my brother ****** purchased First Class both ways for $298 As shown in the attachment, it was advertised that we would be getting a gourmet meal and premium drinks on the First Class tier and 2 alcoholic beverages on the Economy Preferred tier.On the trip to ******* and return trip we were offered and given Sun Chips, a Nutribar, and a cookie and when asked about the Premium Drinks were told sorry we do not have a liquor license. We purchased upgraded seats assuming we would have a meal on an almost 5 hour flight(First Class) and 2 alcoholic drinks on our flight which was advertised. We feel we should be compensated for those advertised amenities we did not receive.I also submitted a survey stating this to New Pacific and they have not responded.

  Ravn Alaska has discontinued flights from ***** to ********* Alaska and will not refund vouchers that are now not able to be used for flights to and from ***** and *********. I live in Kenai, Alaska. The next closest town with an airport is *********, Alaska. I can drive the distance but then I would have to drive back as well and therefore cannot use the vouchers. They are now useless to me and is nearly $400 of my money that they cannot provide me services for. I was happy to have the vouchers to use provided they could continue providing me services to use them on, but now that there are no services I can use, they are useless and I have no refund or service to show for.

  Good Afternoon,

  Per our policies, vouchers cannot be refunded unfortunately. A passenger can acquire a voucher by voluntarily cancelling or changing a non-refundable ticket and receiving the voucher as a gift from Ravn, specifically on birthdays, as we send out a voucher to each of our passengers on their birthdays as a special gift. When a passengers initially books a reservation, they are asked if they would like to purchase the refundable or non-refundable fare, and the information is available to look over before making the purchase. A refundable fare can be refunded back to the original form of payment if cancelled voluntarily by the passengers, and a non-refundable fare will be refunded back to a voucher which will get good for one calendar year. The vouchers in ******************************* account are accumulated from past trips that she cancelled voluntarily. Our company is not discontinuing our flights overall, just no longer flying into *********. Our vouchers are not route specific and can be used for travel to and from any of our other destinations, including *****, which is the closest airport to *****. Our vouchers are also transferrable and can be used by family, friends, coworkers, ect. 

  More information regarding our policies and procedures can be found on our website under our Contract of Carriage, and I have attached the link for reference as well.

  Thank you, all the best,

  I am rejecting this response because: Traveling 2 hours in the opposite direction of my destination is ludicrous. I was happy to have vouchers for flights to and from *****-*********. I accepted the vouchers with the intent to use them for services that were available and convenient. Now the services are no longer available, and the vouchers are useless to me. 
  
  Sincerely,

  I purchased a ticket for $130 in June of 2023. Due to flight cancellations on a flight from ****** to *********, I changed my flight to a November date. Somehow, the airline issued a $20 voucher for me to use on future flights because their fees changed to $110. I was never notified of this voucher being issued. I booked a flight for Nov 11, 2023 and used my unused ticket. The airline cancelled their service to ***** without notifying me until 10/11/2023. They do not want to issue a refund for the voucher, only for the $110. They claim the ticket is non refundable but if they cancelled their service completely. I will not be able to use that voucher at all. If they discontinued a service, I believe I deserve a full refund. I did not make the cancellation. They did.

  Good Morning,

  Per our policies, we are unable to refund vouchers. Vouchers are issued when a non-refundable tickets is purchased, and then voluntarily changed or cancelled by the passenger. ************************* was issued a voucher because she changed her non-refundable ticket from July 22nd 2023 to November 4th 2023 and this was done on July 22nd 2023. The November ticket was $20.01 cheaper than the original ticket purchased, therefore since it was a non-refundable ticket, the refund was issued to a voucher, per our policies. An email is automatically sent out each time a change is made to a reservation, and that voucher refund information is a part of that as well, and we show that was sent out on July 22nd 2023. 

  Due to our company discontinuing our services in and out of *****, **, we had to contact all of our passengers and either refund their tickets or reroute them if applicable. We were made aware of the decision on October 6th 2023, and immediately started calling the ****+ passengers that were going to be affected, as our last day flying to this destination is October 20th 2023. When we contacted *****, we were able to refund to the original form of payment, which was $110 for this November 4th ticket. The $20.01 was already put on a voucher in July, and has no correlation to the November reservation we cancelled. Our vouchers are a form of credit with our company and can be used for any destinations we fly, as well as baggage fees. They are transferrable as well, which means family, friends, coworkers, ect. can use them as well.

  We do understand the frustrations and apologize about that, and the decision to ************** ***** was a hard one for our company as well. We are a business too though and in order to continue operating in a professional and ethical manner, we had to run the numbers and look at was were gaining vs losing by continuing to fly to this destination. The information regarding our refund, voucher, and cancellation policies are located in our Contract of Carriage on our website. I have attached the link as well. ****************************************

  Please let us know if there is anything else we can provide. 

  Thank you, all the best,
