We are entitled to refunds for our Emirates flights from Brisbane to London that were booked for July. Why wouldn't we be able to receive a refund for the $200 for seat reservation?
Also our HelloWorld is charging us $220 for them to arrange the refunds etc. I thought Flight Centre wasn't able to do this as per the ACCC so why can HelloWorld do this?



Thanks,

I had flights cancelled by Finn Air and Qantas for flying May 16th due to Covid 19. I don't seem to be able to get a clear answer as to when we will receive the refund from Hello World. Flights were cancelled in March by the airline. Can anyone tell me?

The QANTAS flights that I booked and paid for have been cancelled, so I want a refund. I have tried to call Helloworld's Online Team on 1300722501 but they do not answer the call. After listening to ringtone for 3 hours, they kill the call without answering. I did that twice today. Six hours of listening to ring tone for nothing!!! How can I talk to someone at Helloworld?

Key point: If airline cancelled flight, you are entitled to a full refund, less admin costs from Helloworld, paid $1270 for a flight to go Adelaide to Dublin flying Qatar. Qatar cancelled 27/03/2020 for flight 07/04/2020. I am not satisfied that I was told I should receive refund by 05/05/2020. I am not satisfied with that answer, hence I have arranged a chargeback with my credit card, for the full amount. I am not interested in forward credits. Who knows, what the case be the future. A refund means I am still in control.The admin costs Helloworld is about $130.00

How long are refunds taking ?
All flights were with qantas airlines which have been suspended.
Do refunds go directly to the client or are they “ held” by hello world for distribution

Hi
My question is we have booked a hotel and flights with hello world but have just found out there will be Major construction happening at the hotel we have booked. We have chosen another hotel that we would like to stay at but have been told that it is not on hello words supplier list. We have been told that we will have to pay a cancellation fee if we do not wish to go through one of your hotels but I’m having trouble getting an answer on how much this cancellation fee would be and how much we paid for the original hotel as it was part of a package. We don’t wish to cancel the flights just the hotel .
Thank you for any information you can give me

Hi Greg,

Do a company search (it can be done on-line) get the name of the Managing Director and write to him/her in a personal capacity i.e mark your letter "Private & Confidential"..........Don't deal with order takers i.e. franchise people deal with the decision makers!

When you booked, T&C would have been provided to you. It is not the travel agents who are charging you the fees, but actual cruise ships. If the cruise has a cancellation fee, travel agent has to follow it to the line. The logic behind cancellation policies including airlines & cruise is that they have lost potential customers & would have to spend extra to find another customer for that seat/cabin. I can assure you that when any travel agent who cancel tickets, would not even get a dime from the cancellation fee. Some agents (including flight center) do charge service fee for any kind of service they provide.

I was a customer, same as you. Suggest contacting the airline, they should be able to explain the rules. If not, maybe get more info from the person who gave you the tickets?
