HOW FLIGHTCENTRE.CA RIPPED TRAVELERS OFF ON VACATION PACKAGE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 22, 2011 -- Flight Centre Travel agents reveal their dark secrets !

Flight Centre 610 robson St, Vancouver, BC trick a customers into paying much more for a room and made false promises.

They Prey on those in grief. The agent smiled and seem like they are sharing the holiday joy with you, but from preying on those in grief to lying about cheap trips, travel agents can be just as cut-throat as the meanest in any industry that works on commission.

Flight Centre Canada advertsies great deals, but they are the biggest travel industry liars who make false and misleading
promises.

If you complain to the hotel, they will blame the travel agent, and when you complain to the travel agent, they blame the vacation company. The bottom line is that they lied and collected the commission from the customer, but refuse to take responsibility for their error.

Flight Centre is a complete ripp off! Marjorie Lopez an immigrant from Mexico booked my flight and vacation and provided false and misleading information in a desperate attempt to collect her commission. We booked our flights and hotel to mexico and were promised an oceanfront room. this liar charged us full price for the hotel room, and when we arrived at the hotel we were told that she did not recommend or send any acknowledgement of the room. When we complained she blamed it on signature vacations. This is the worst company to book your flights so DO NOT BOOK at Flight Centre they are the biggest liars in the travel industry.

. We booked a vacation to mexico several months ago, and the travel agency charged us for an ocean front room.

We paid approximately $700 more than the normal price. As soon as we arrived we ended up getting some room that showed just the forest. This was the so called ocean front view.

They booked us on signature vacations, who said there was nothing they could do becuase the flight centre lied to us about the ocean front rooms

We have sent numerous letters, but they just ignored us.

DO NOT BOOK YOUR TRAVEL WITH FLIGHT CENTRE THEY ARE A BUNCH OF LIARS AND THIEVES AND ONCE YOU PAY THEY WILL NOT EVEN ADDRESS YOUR COMPLAINT
FLIGHT CENTRE WE GOT RIPPED OFF BY FLIGHT CENTRE ON 610 ROBSON STREET, VANCOUVER Complaints – FLIGHT SIGNATURE VACATIONS ARE FREAKING LIARS AND THIEVES AND PROVIDED FALSE INFORMATION AND LIED TO CUSTOMERS ABOUT ROOMS WHICH THEY SOLD.


Signaturevacations.com did not return calls at press time.

In brief, Craig was told over the phone that some flight tickets he was looking to purchase had an indefinite return date. He didn’t think that sounded right, so he double-checked and the staff at Flight Centre confirmed it to be true. So he bought the tickets only to find out (too late) that they expired after a year. Now Flight Centre are denying that they told him the tickets were indefinite and now also accusing him of lying!




Hopefully people will read Craig’s story and make sure they have written confirmation of the details before paying for tickets. And perhaps if you read the story you may also consider not dealing with Flight Centre in the first place, as their customer service (full details in the original blog post) have been appalling!

I booked my tickets for my recent trip to London with Zuji and have nothing but praise for them.

While there is some truth in this, if you ever get scammed by a travel agent, I feel you probably deserve it.

I recently used a travel agent to book airfares. after i got a price and flight numbers, i jumped online and checked, sure enough i could get it cheaper so they matched it and gave me a gift voucher. Which i then got them to price match some other things and used the giftvoucher on. It wasn't a lot ~$200 on $2000 (ie 10%) but i got what i wanted and the travel agent did the hard stuff (ie finding flights at the cheap advertised fare).

Buying tours and hotels through travel agencies are a complete ripoff. I paid $16 for a cruise of Halong Bay in Vietnam, Another person paid $50 but booked through an expensive hotel in Hanoi and a third person paid $200 but booked from NZ. Given everybody probably does their own markup in price, they may not actually be ripping you off much, but always best to pay as close to the source as possible. ianw6705

I asked someone I know in the industry who on earth used travel agents these days ... and he said mostly the older wogs, who don't do the Internet at all. So it is tough on them.

I guess it depends on whether you classify Flight Centre as a travel agent. PoppyG
