Awful. Horrible customer service
After a 3 hour delay on the tarmac from Kathmandu to Kuala Lumpur (which I understand) mine, and fellow passengers luggage was removed from the plane WITHOUT notification. I was forced to purchase items and it's been OVER 12 months and I am awaiting a reimbursement from them despite having the customer service team try and tell me the issue has been forwarded on. You couldn't pay me enough money to fly with this company again

They know how to lose customers
Very long story short, absolute rubbish in every way. Flights from BNE to DPS at the start of April cancelled by airline, requested a refund and have gotten nowhere. Currently been waiting for 10 days for the "AU Team" to respond to my numerous emails.
Not holding my breath for a refund and if that's their final answer will never book another thing with them again.

Dishonourable Malindo
Having booked 2 return flights from Adelaide to Bali to fly in September 2020 we were informed by Malindo that they were cancelling the flights. I applied on line for a refund as advised and rceived a receipt for my application. To cut a long story short, many emails later, Malindo deny they got my refund application and are refusing to pay. Malaysian Aviation Commission complaints department who licence Malindo don't want to know

Covid-19 No refund policy
Bought return flights from Melbourne to Denpasar for the month of June 2020.
They cancelled their flights and I've been informed of only receiving my TAX refund which is next to nothing! Have some integrity and do the right thing by the customers. We're not at fault and deserve a full refund! Taking this up with the ACCC now!

Refund delays
I was notified on Mar 11 that our September flights to Bali had been cancelled by the airline. They note that we have to go online to request a refund, which would be processed within 30 days. I contacted them numerous times by email and twice by phone with the latest call on the 34th day and was told that it would take another 2 weeks. They can't explain the delay or why they're holding onto funds for flights that THEY cancelled. Absolutely horrible service. Scam artists who should be investigated for fraudulent behaviour.

No refunds for cancelled flights
They first told me would get cash refund but then say they are giving in form of travel voucher. Poor service. They only give option of six months from October which is useless.
Anyway if you want cash bank tell bank they refuse to refund they will do a chargeback.

Malindo cancelled the flight and were going to refund in 30 days
As Malindo cancelled the flight from KL to Colombo the customer service wanted me to go on line and put a refund request. They have changed their mind and now have sent a voucher to be redeemed in 6 months. This was not what was said before. I don't think I will fly with them again.

They are still refusing to refund the money. Will not fly with them again as they can do cancellations on flights just to get our money and issue travel vouchers. This means that we have to pay again ... Read more
to another airline to book another flight. Australia should ban this airline from operating out of Australia as this against Australian regulations.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Refund
I bought a flight tick on Jetabroad website.
Was a flight with Malindo Air on the 23/04 from Brisbane to Bali and a return ticket on the 04/04. I got a message on the 20/03 saying my flight was cancelled, so I contact Jetaboard and they said the only option I had was a voucher and not a refund, because that was what Malindo airline ofer, if I wanted a refound I had to contact Malindo. I have being trying to contact they for days! And os being impossible! If they canceled my flight is mu right to get a refound!

Worst customer service
It's like talking to a brick wall. Trying to get a refund of cancelled flights booked through an agent. Was just asking them if they've received payments and no one responded to 4 emails I've sent them.

Malindo Air - refund policy
Does anyone on this forum know if we can get a refund from Malindo Air now the government has banned travel or do we wait until the airline cancels. We had booked to go to Bali next month. Thank you

Worst service
I had booked flights for my parents.
After a week they had mailed that the flight is cancelled and the time is changed.
After 1 more week they changed the time and extended the transit time from 2 hrs to 14 hrs in Malaysia.
When I spoke to the call centre I had requested at least to organise a wheelchair for them, they insisted to pay for it. Even after paying for the meals and wheelchair nothing was organised.
They didn’t provide food for both flights and also wheelchair.
This Airline is given worst experience in time of need.
Never recommend this airlines which cannot be trusted. Cannot even imagine these people running Airlines saving money by not providing food for the customers who has already paid.
Shame on you

Cancelled flight
I was notified today that our flight to Bali in June has been cancelled, I contacted malindo air and they went step by step with me through the refund process and told me I'm entitled to a full refund as they cancelled but I don't understand why this takes 30 days. Will see how long it does take as I wish to book with another carrier.

Flights cancelled and poor customer service
Flights cancelled, phone disconnects after you’re out on hold, no response to emails and no mention of when refund will come through, or if it will. Makes me sober if they are still solvent..

REFUND FOR CANCELLED FLIGHT
Malindo cancelled two flights KUL CMB AND CMB KUL in April 2020. They sent two emails to notify and wanted us to go to the website and apply for refund. Refund request was acknowledged and no further communication received. When I call them they said that it take 30 days for a refund to be processed.
They cancelled the flight and they should credit the funds back to the credit card that was used for the transactions. Not only did they cancel the flight for me they are still selling this flight online. I would like to put this review for other travellers to know that they use our funds for over 30 days from the time of booking to cancellation plus another 30 days

Worst Airline Ever!!!
Do not book with Malindo Air!!!Worst customer service ever!!!! They rescheduled our flights twice so now we're not able to go anymore!! When we asked for a refund they said that it would take minimum 30 days to even process the refund request!?!???! Getting the money back (if refund is approved although they messed up) can take up to 3 months!!! Never booking with Malindo Air again!!!!

Thieves and liars
I booked flights with Malindo, from Thiruvananthapura (India) to Yangon (Myanmar) with a connection (4h 35m) in Kuala Lumpur. About three months before the flight, Malindo changed the time of the first sector to about 21 hours earlier. If I had accepted this change, it would have meant a very long wait in Kuala Lumpur. I phoned them but they were unable to offer a better alternative, other than cancelling for a full refund. I chose the refund and booked with another airline.
This was on 6 Mayember 2022. I was told the refund would take 6 weeks...Read more
to process. It is now 4 months later (3 March 2020) and I still have not received the refund. I have phoned them multiple times in the meantime but always I am told a lie. "It will take another 2 weeks". "The refund has already been paid". "It is being processed now and you will get it in the next 2-3 days". And so on. Plenty of meaningless promises but no result. There are two explanations. They are totally incompetent or they are thieves. I suspect it is both - they are incompetent and thieves. I have not given up yet and have asked my credit card company to initiate a dispute. I am not very hopeful because I did approve the original payment, naively expecting that I was dealing with a reputable company. My mistake. My advice: do not ever book flights with Malindo. You cannot trust them. They are thieves and liars who should be put out of business.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Malindo seriously SUCKS
Booked a flight to Bali Denpasar. It was changed 12 hours that resulted in an extreme change in plans, they said they offered a refund but it had to be for the return trip also. HOWEVER, i had to collect from a third party website which made it unknown when or if i would get my money back. I asked for compensation for added free baggage and they outright declined and the person laughed. Extremely disappointed in this airline. Also waited on the phone for ages.

Be kind and you will receive kindness
We booked 2 flights recently and for some kind of reason the system changed the dates we selected without us noticing it. After payment we realised it was the wrong month. We had to call several times with Malindo, but in the end they helped us well and changed the date at no extra cost. Thank you Malindo, we are looking forward to fly with you.

Avoid this airline
We booked a ticket to Bali long before the breakout of coronavirus. Indonesia placed hold on visa free travel on China passport holder. Due to the fact we can't even get into the country, we contacted Malindo airline for refund or credit (so we could travel later). They refused to do so and give me bad attitude over the phone.

Questions & Answers

Malindo Air is permanently cancelling flight from Sydney to Bali from 31 May 2020 and Adelaide to Bali later in the year. Has anyone been notified or received a refund - not Covid-19 related as this is a permanent change to their flight routes. I booked 6 return flights for Christmas 2020 on 27 Feb 2020 which I think is probably illegal of Malindo Air to sell flights after a date of a permanent cancellation is known. Will be taking this up with ACCC.

I booked a return flight in April 2020 and Malindo cancelled the flight from KL to Colombo before the travel ban and they are refusing to refund. They are only offering a travel voucher. I will speak to my travei insurance to see if I could get them to pay me out on this.
I booked a flight from Sydney to Bali for Sep 2020 and was notified in Mar 2020 that the flights would be cancelled and refund issued within 30 days. Still have yet to see the refund after 49 days. Just been told two more weeks every time I call. Now they just hang up on me.
Hi Monica
Thanks for letting me know. Did they say the route was cancelled Syd to Dps In the email that they sent you?
So far they haven’t admitted it publicly.
I only just booked my 6 return flights on 27 February - can believed they took my booking when they planned to cancel route. I might try calling as well.
Many Thanks Sally

Annette I'm fighting with them to get a cash refund I don't want a travel voucher, they cancelled on us we never cancelled so I feel full refund is the only option.
Totally agree have sent several emails received no response. We paid cash want it back.Travel voucher not acceptable who knows when people can travel again. Refund cash now people need money now as many have lost jobs
Yupp... im in the same boat.. we do not need the credit to fly again in 12months.
Plus to pay a cancellation fee. Through a third party in my case i booked through travel2be
And they charging 30euros to cancel n forget bout everything..or. keep the ticket for 12months..
Malindo did agree to refund but its the third party
That dont wanna co operate....
Selfish. Very selfish

It's now been 41 days. I've called them 4 times and keep being told conflicting or misleading information. One person told me another 2 weeks. Another said it was 30 workings days (outright lie). The ... Read more
supervisor guaranteed me end of last week and said I could call back and request for him directly if there's an issue. When my refund didn't come through last week I tried calling again and was told 2 weeks again by someone else. I requested the supervisor and was told he would call me back the next day as he was away. I called back twice the next day and was hung up on both times without being put through to him. I can't exaggerate how aggravating this whole experience has been.
