Initially they appeared to be friendly and helpful in getting the right flights for you. Then they charge £50 per person to reserve the flights. (so far - ok). They send an email with the flight details, deposit confirmed and THEN their bank details saying that you need to transfer money by tomorrow. I called a couple of times to get through to the agent and was not able to reach. The colleagues were unhelpful and did not know anything about my flight details. I spoke to the 'manager' as I...

YOU LYING POLICE NEED TO TAKE ACTION
THIS COMPAGNY IS FAKE
DONTTTTT BUY TICKET ANYTHING FROM THEM
Written on: 17/05/2013
I called Travel and Travel ltd and spoke to [name removed] who offered me 2 tickets to Accra for myself and my brother for £400.00 per passenger. He then asked us to submit two separate payments of £50.00 into the companys Barclays account in order to secure the seats.
I promptly paid the funds into the account and called to inform him. I was then instructed by email from [name removed] to make the remaining payments of £350.00 per passenger into the same account by 10 am 15th MAY 2013 in order to recieve confirmation of the tickets.
I made the payments into the Putney branch of Barclays Bank at precisely 9.33 and obtained reciepts for both payments. I also called [name removed] to inform him immediately. His "line" was busy so i left a message with a colleague called [name removed] to let [name removed] know that i had paid in full. I did not hear from [name removed] for a few hours so i called again and left a message once more. At approximately 3pm i finaly recieved a call from [name removed] who said his accounts department were now dealing with the issueing of the tickets. No more contact until the next day 16th MAY at 3pm. When i recieved a call from Travel and Travels "accounts" department to inform me that the airline had not recieved my payments at 10.25 and had therefore cancelled my bookings and that i had also LOST MY DEPOSIT of £50.00 as that had been used to secure the seats. I was offered new tickets that would cost £450.00 which meant i was to fork out an extra £100.00 per passenger.
THE FACT REMAINS THAT-
a) i paid the money into a barclays account in the name of Travel n Travel limited at a Barclays branch.
b) i obtained reciepts for the payments noted at 9.33am (well within the 10am deadline on the email.)
c) if the money (cash) was paid to Travel and Travel limiteds account at 9.33, why was i told " the airline did not recieve your money till 10.25 so you've lost your booking AND your DEPOSIT.
d) Travel and Travel would have had to forward the money to the airline as i paid it directly to them and within the specified time frame.
THIS IN MY OPINION CONSTITUTES BAD PRACTICE.
I have reported them to the police and obtained a crime number.
i will be reporting them to ATOL and the office of fair trading in the morning.
I want my ticket or my money back in full.

This company gives you the cheapest price. Once you have paid deposit of £50 they ask for the full payment and are unable to provide tickets. Stories start and are told airline has changed price, and they demand a further payment. Stoped after that and paid for the same ticket through the airline at the unchanged price.They refused to refund and charged £150 for cancellation when airline never had my details in the first place.

I have been a victim of recent. They said they got a ticket for me on the Virgin Atlantic for £598.00 and they asked me to pay £50.00 deposit on the phone with my debt card which I did. The lady said she will send me the details of the bank that I will pay the balance to. After paying the whole amount they then told me that the depost did not go through and the airline could not issue me a ticket for the amount and the fare has gone higher. One man called who claimed to be the manager told me that is either I pay for higher fare or they charge me £100.00 cancelation fees but I said to him I don't accept that. The man insisted that I have to pay the cancellation fees and they still have my £618.00 because they asked me to pay £20.00 for the handling charges.

For your own sanity and finances DO NOT BOOK WITH TRAVEL AND TRAVEL.
After securing tickets with hefty deposit of £150 and then paying rest to their bank account, was told the next day that tickets had gone up. If I did not pay extra, would have to write and cancel and lose deposit. After paying the extra was then called and told the flights had been cancelled by the airline - but after checking and finding this was not true - was told flights not available at price! As I had paid for three people, I could not afford to lose all the money - so ended up paying yet even more!! ALL AIRLINES SHOULD STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AS THEY ARE GIVING YOU ALL A BAD NAME - HOPE POLICE ARREST THEM ALL SOON!

Dear, if you do not have any knowledge of how make quarry of a company, do not make up any story which matches your situation, I have seen there are many customer who are satisfied with this company and and they are coming back to them. Let me educate you about the Holy Makkah Tours Ltd and MB Travel there is no company associated with this company this is the biggest holiday maker and wholesale. Tomorrow if you open a company and use ATOL no 6721, is it Holy Makkah Tours fault, this is UK not a third world country. On the ATOL search what I have seen, it's clearly says by typing this ATOL no 6721 Holy Makkah Tours Ltd T/A MB Travel, and the address below. It is your fault you chose the cheapest online, also you must have missed their terms and condition, according to there website policy you have been a truly uneducated person. You must have missed a payment by making on time. So far comparing many feedback how come you are the unlucky one. People do not realize there mistake until they are paying for it. People start lying and blaming when they are in trouble, you do not need this attitude if you are a genuine person, before making blame to other correct your self, I have used them and using them I am excludes of around 300 family members in greater London, this is SEBASTIAN, this name has a grate number of people in scrounging community.
