Terrible customer service

published

They have terrible customer service, our flight was cancelled by the airline but the would not provide us with a refund and were making us pay to cancel a flight that was already cancelled. Never book with this company. Scam artists

My flight was cancelled due to COVID-19 but Aunt Betty said they need 12 weeks to do the refund and now it has been more than 12 weeks and I still didn’t receive it. Aunt Betty never answer calls or reply email. I strongly doubt if they are closing down.

They're royally screwing everyone!

published

I have requested a refund for the the flights which Singapore airlines have waived the fees for and I was prepared to take the hit of a cancellation fee from these criminals (Aunt Betty). My request for a refund was acknowledged via email but then a few days later I have now received an email stating my request for a Credit Shell was being processed!! I don't want credit! I want my money back and I asked for that but they clearly don't care . It just seems like an easy way to brush us all off!

Unfair charge

published

Qatar Airline cancelled my flight due to COVID-19 pandemic but Aunt Betty is refusing to refund. They are asking for cancellation fee which is $100.00. Huge experience to not booking anymore flight from agency especially Aunt Betty.

Avoid at all costs

Took a chance with Aunt Betty because of Flight Centre affiliations. Big mistake.

$250 fee to reimburse a $750 ticket.

Spent 90 minutes on hold to have them answer and hang up. Eventually they do respond on email but then when you reply you will never get a follow up again.

Skyscanner travel agents should be avoided.

Really good customer service

published

I thought that booking through a cheap website like aunt betty would cause lots of issues, as I've heard. However, due to COVID-19 I have not been able to travel and they have been really great to deal with. Whilst the phone takes a very long time to get through, the person on the other end was very helpful and friendly and I felt obliged to say thank you considering all that is going on they are still being very helpful and understanding.
Thanks again

Don’t reserve seats!

I traveled from Australia to Germany and wanted to make sure I have window seats. Paid about 150$ and ended up with middle seats. After emailing them still no response.

Terrible Customer Service

published

They actually have the audacity to hang up on the customers when they can't reach a solution. Never book your tickets or anything with this shoddy company. Outsourced all customer service to India or some other country where they can't speak english.

As per previous review, I am adding to ensure we are all aware. Part of Flight Centre group and rip off merchants are robbing me of $3700.

Go to Facebook and join up to "Flight Centre Class Action Australia" page. The administrator is garnering interest for a class action against Flight Centre Group for all the victims under their many many brands.

Hard to deal with

published

Flight Centre own both BYO Jet and Aunt Betty. Had 3 business class tickets booked to Europe (2 with BYO Jet and 1 with Aunt Betty) same flight. All cancelled. Refunds quickly with no fees taken out by BYO Jet. Still waiting from Aunt Betty. Phone calls and lodged email request. Can't complain via email as they are not taking emails anymore. Interesting they have removed T and C's from original booking. Waiting via phone goes on forever. Don't use this company

Do not use Aunty Betty!

published

I cancelled my booking on 27.1.2020 and I got a message which said my refund will be paid in the next 12 weeks. However, I did not get my refund after 12 weeks so I called it back on 27.4.2020 and I was told that my refund will be paid in 8 hours but I still haven't received my refund until now (30.4.2020). I am not going to trust this company again. We should not keep silence and I am going to report this case to ACCC & Consumer Affairs. Complaints will not help but actions do.

Worst. Thing. Ever

They want $500 because the airline cancelled our flights. Disgusting company, I will never use them again. Can't get through to them, they do not reply to emails. Just send the information about how much they will be with holding, then nothing

We had our round trip plane tickets from Melbourne to Seoul with Cathay Pacific in April. We were told that we would get our money back in June. Is there a reason why it is taking so long?

I was told a refund would take up to 8 month when they pushed me towards taking a credit shell.

I requested a credit shell for booking ABY3224799 and received confirmation I would get an email within 7 to 14 days on how to use the credit. That was on the 3 April and I haven’t received an email as yet. Could you please let me know how I access the credit that is with Singapore Airlines. Thanks.

I was same - finally the email arrived today nearly 28 days after the ‘7-14’ days. Doesn’t have much info. - just the $ value and to call when ready to use it, but no rules/restrictions etc.
