“Bad company ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Lizbethj226 on 09/03/2024

Very bad customer service, As mostly people said they just wants your money. Once you bought the ticket they don't care. I just need to change the dates, spoke to airline they quoted me £180 but advised from them to call the flight catcher first. I called them and they quoted me £384 in total. Spoke to few agents they were not interested what so ever. Please don't waste yours money pay few quid extra and buy from somewhere else. Bad company @ bad customer services.

“UNPROFESSIONAL HARASSMENT FOR EXTRA PAYMENT”

★☆☆☆☆

written by FrancesMW on 21/02/2024

STEER CLEAR of this company. I doubt that the good reviews are legitimate. I inadvertently booked via Flightcatchers through Skyscanner website, mainly because they showed so many good reviews. BEWARE!!!! Once the flights were booked, and the call centre kepy phoning me up until 1am in the morning!! They were pressing me to book seats with them or threatening that I may not have a seat on my flight or not sit together. They asked for payment for the seats and advised that there were very few left. I looked on the China Eastern website and put the e-ticket numbers in and could see that there were plenty of seats available and that they were asking payment for the free seats that were not charged for booking!! Do thus yourself. Secondly, they do NOT provide a space for your middle name when you put in your details or ask you for this. So that your tickets arrive with the wrong name and it does not accord with the name on your passport. BEWARE!!! YOu will not be allowed on the plane if this is not changed. They then ask that you pay then around £250 per person to change this. They said that £30 was their admin fee and that the rest charged by the airline. LIES! I visited Gatwick airport as was very suspicious and concerned. The customer services gave me a number for China Eastern (Chinese number). I use the Tesco Calling app to get very cheap international calls. I had to wait a while to get through and you need to call very early as they are 8 hours ahead. But they were very polite and very helpful and changed the names on tickets and re-issued. NO CHARGE ATALL!! Please all leave negative reviews to help others avoid this company. I will be notifying Which Magazine to investigate them. It is imoral and likely illegal trading methods of harassment and bullying for illigitimate extra fees. DO NOT USE FLIGHTCATCHERS.

“Not Happy flight to UK to Manila”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Sansome on 14/02/2024

I am new to this and do not fly often, in the past relying on travel agents. The positives are that when I called the company prior to booking online I got prompt responses and staff were helpful for the enquiries I made. However, following the online booking I was hit with a penalty (£250.89, another 25% effectively on my flight costs) for missing middle names on the on line application form (which apparently is stated in small print rather than being prompted for on the online form, which I am informed is the case with booking forms such as Ryanair). After discussing this with an agent and getting nowhere other than to be informed that if I cancelled I would be hit with a larger fee, I was told by the agent that this happens quite commonly with this booking system! I find this added to my distress and that they take no responsibility and it cannot just be me that found the form unhelpful in this respect. I of course won't make this mistake again but I will avoid this company from bitter experience. At least they need to make addition to their online forms to make it clear that this will also book the actual airline ticket and the information needs to be accurate and match the passport to avoid penalty.

“Untrustworthy ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Edgarb1952 on 08/02/2024

Got a call from the agent right after making a booking that the airline will put me and my 3 year old toddler in different seats so demanding to pay them so they can put us together. This is ridiculous because no airline staff ever puts a 3 year old toddler in a separate seat, they themselves booked the seats separately for us on purpose. Don't ever trust them and don't ever book with them especially if you are travelling with a toddler.. how on earth can anyone book a totally separate seat for a 3 year old. Unbelievable!

“Stay away”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Furtuna on 06/08/2023

So I bought two tickets from this people to see my family unfortunately my family cancelled on me.so, I called the flightcatchers and explained my situation and asked if can cancel it but the have told me the tickets were non refundable and when I asked if I can change it they asked me more than £900 on top of the £1430 I originally purchased. So I went to check on airline company which was Turkish airline and all their tickets are refundable some with deductions of £86. I don't know what I am going to do to get my money back but I advise to avoid this agency by all means they trick you with their cheaper tickets but all they do is take your money. I would not wish on anyone to go through what I am going through.

“Overall, my experience with this company has been...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Nazmeen1234 on 04/08/2023

Overall, my experience with this company has been absolutely atrocious. It was beyond belief. This is an honest review, I can assure you. They will lie consistently, make every silly excuse they could think of, in an attempt to trick customers. Stay away from them. They tried tricking me of £849.18, but that’s a long story. Unless you want to lose your money avoid this company at all costs! Honestly this company is bad. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!! Getting it back is a long battle and you may need to take legal action. This company has no idea about the legislations around consumer rights and protection as they clearly don’t take them into consideration. They also declined to provide me with my own user data saying that they are not legally obliged to provide it. The thicko’s have no idea with regards to the law and the current GDPR legislations. How this company is up and running an illegal business is beyond me! The reviews left giving them a 5 star rating are fake, it’s obvious when you read them that they are written by their own staff etc. Notice that the negative reviews are all 1 star stating how much of a bad company it really is. There is no in between. The distribution of the reviews is clear as to how genuine the negative reviews are. Also they respond to all negative reviews stating that they have no records of any bookings when they do and they know that they do. They did this with one of my reviews and when I emailed and asked ‘customer care’ why they lied? They didn’t even answer my question. They had no response. What could they have said? They were too ashamed to say the least! If you are in a situation where they have deceived you. Please obtain legal advice, know your rights and report this company! They are carrying out illegal business activity. Report them to trading standards or any other official prosecuting authorities. Now I do not expect to receive a reply from ‘customer care’ saying that you are unable to retrieve any bookings, even though you are well aware of the booking and the long conversion we have had regarding this and your attempt!

“????Avoid using Flightcatchers AKA Polani Travel Ltd ????”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Judeg95 on 01/08/2023

????Avoid using Flightcatchers AKA Polani Travel Ltd ???? You don’t know what you are getting yourselves into. You are warned!!! They will cancel your flights without notification, trick you of your money, ruin your holidays. I still don’t understand how these people exist in the travel industry, allowed to open a shop and run a business like this. They literally preying on average folks who look for Cheap flights after saving some monies all year to offer their families a good time. Plus, this company is not approved by any of the following travel organizations: ABTA, CAA, TNG, CEDR, ADR etc. So you cannot even hold them accountable. Even Resolver won’t have them on their database. I hope you see the whole picture.

“!Pay Attantion to Baggage”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Daleytq1991 on 30/07/2023

Automatically set the baggage to 0 and they asked for another 115 - 185 pounds to add the baggage It's a planned scheme they call almost immediately afterwards and there is no fully refund cancellation option as well.

“AVOID AVOID AVOID”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Butler321 on 26/07/2023

I’d like to start this review by stating how disgusted i am with your service, you got my name wrong on my itinerary, you told me i’d have to pay an extra £550 pounds to change my flight date even though the airline policy will issue a full refund up to 48 hours before the flight. Then 24 hours before my flight you tell me my connection flight was cancelled with no alternative. Leaving me unable to travel, from a £778 ticket i received a total of £35 as a refund, what a joke!!!!’ When speaking on the phone your staff were extremely rude, disrespectful and less helpful than a rubber nail. I am 100% convinced that your company is  absolutely terrible customer service, you rely on people having to change plans in order to make a profit which is absolutely disgusting. I hope your company goes bust, i have read your reviews online and its not just me you are doing it too, but your company will go down the toilet, no matter how many fake 5 star reviews you leave yourself. Everyone at your company should be extremely ashamed and embarrassed, it’s saddening how you treat your “valued customers” you’re completely laughable. I will tell every single person i know to avoid you, i will give you a terrible review on every single review sight you are on, wether that be “flight catchers” or “polani travel” I will make it my goal to deter as many people as i can from your disgusting low life company.

“Terrible service. £160 to change MR to MRS ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 259Woods on 15/06/2023

“Stay Away from this company”

★☆☆☆☆

written by LeonardoDowney on 08/06/2023

VERY BAD BUSINESS ETHICS COMPANY. This company is a total useless. Pls stay away from them and use Priceline, Expedia instead. They will take you around for days and delay your tickets and finally ticket wont be available at a price you thought you bought it for but instead price is 50% more. In the end, you would feel cheated.

“Please avoid this sham company”

★☆☆☆☆

written by alisat09 on 07/04/2023

I booked a ticket on their website at 6:45am and then realised within 10 mins that I have made a mistake by booking a wrong return date. I send out an email to them straight away at 7am asking to cancel my ticket and issue me a full refund as its only been 15-20 mins. After that I called them at 7:15am like literally with 30 mins of my booking and I was told that as per flightcathcers terms and condition they can't cancel the ticket for a full refund. I tired explaining to them that it was done by mistake and I will use their website only to book another ticket. But they kept on saying that they can't cancel it as the ticket is issued. However in reality the ticket wasn't issued and they issued it while I was on the phone with them. I also tried to explain them that its a UK and Atol law that a flight ticket can be cancelled with in 24 hours and customer can get a full refund. But the response I got was that Flightcatchers has their own laws/terms & condition. What kind of service is this? Is this is the way you treat your customer who are requesting you and contacting you within 30 mins of the booking. Honestly worst ever service I have got from a flight provider and I will also make a complain of them with ATOL as well as other social media platforms. I will make sure to give this negative review about Flightcathers everywhere. Also I would like to add that the parent company is Polani travels who are a famous nightmare travel agency of Pakistan. Me being Pakistani knows Polani Travels very well.

“Sham company stay away”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 05/04/2023

Sham company stay away. Virgin Atlantic cancelled the flight & confirmed they issued a full refunded back to the travel agent. But Flightcatchers also known as Polani Travel are trying to charge me admin fees and making excuses to delay refund. Its been 2+ months since and I have all the evidence to show this in court. Stay Away!
