“Hopeless with any changes and expensive for any changes”

★★☆☆☆

written by Tiannaz125 on 04/01/2024

I bought ticket from BYO jet as Flight Centre is a part of it. Flight Centre in the past has been a reliable and friendly organisation. However, when it comes to any change, I found that making change thru BYO jet to flight when overseas to be very slow and nearly unresponsive. As prices change by the minute it is necessary to have a system that can provide the customer that facility. I called their contact as I had made the booking in Australia at a cost to me. The number rang with a recorded message when it was not even 5 pm in Australia. Yet this number should be 24/7. What does it say for service. Fortunately, it was a Qantas flight for which I was able to contact Qantas in Delhi who helped me out. Besides this disservice by BYO jet the admin cost and flight change price they quoted without any action was way higher than I got from Qantas. I even had a support Voucher for BYO19763196 from BYO jet which they did not seems to care and now has no value for me as I will not use BYO in future. My advice is to buy the ticket directly with the airlines or Hotel if there is likely to be any change. The extra paid should be considered as an insurance and any case not BYO jet.

“ Not told of change fee or short time to use flight...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Goatee350 on 16/05/2023

I booked flights from & to Europe from LA. I have return LA flights I’ve used from last year from Fiji air. A few weeks ago I was advised by BYOJet that the airline had changed my return flight time into LAX. I had to either say Yes or No. As the change meant I only had 15mins between flights I said No & also can I cancel & have a full refund. They advised that the airline Delta said was only a minor change so no refund. I was advised that I could have a credit shell which I agreed to. I received an email which had the change fee blanked out. I said I agreed. When I was advised by email that the credit had been created I was then told that there would be a $584 rebooking fee & also that I only had until December to use the credit. I contacted them by email stating the above but they just brushed it aside. I rang them but in the end they said the rebooking fee will apply $584 & I have until December to use the credit. Really appalling customer service & I’ll never use them again.

“Oman Holicay”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Ozzy195 on 15/05/2023

I booked holiday from 20 – 29th March 2020 to Travel from London to Muscat Oman. That flight was counselled because of the Corona. From that time until now (more than 3 years) I did not receive any compensation. After contacting BYOjet Support for so many times they provide me with the Voucher that in reality I could not use because they do not provide me any destination I can use it. This is not right what they are doing. If anyone have enough knowledge to stand in court for this case I will give them half of gain.

“TERRIBLE! DON`T WASTE YOUR MONEY AS NOTED ONLINE REVIEWS!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Douglaszg1962 on 08/04/2023

Most pathetic service provider, customer or otherwise... Ever! I got this in UK! So almost year and half now, on return leg of flight was invited for online boarding pass issuance even by Saudi Airline. When reached airport for return leg of flight, was declined boarding 2.5 hours before flight boarding time to Heathrow! Unbeleavable!? Tail end of Covid restrictions, Same flight used 2 weeks prior to get to get in, not allowing at 11th hour to board, citing a paper in hand at the desk of notification dated a bit older! So you took my money and bboked me aflight knowing there are restrictions and allowed me to travel and then also allowed online boarding pass issuance and at the airport have rude staff showing a piece of paper and turning away as if don`t give a damn! Had to buy on the spot Qatar airway ticket because had no other choice! Waited at airport and spent resources and time further, extreme physical and mental anguish. Boyo Bozo`s can`t other answering phone first, then lame excuses of busy, Have maybe 3 staff running this ---- show from down under. Phillipino`s from what they told me! One email later again same no reply of co-Operation and then silence! NOT TRUSTABLE AT ALL! Still haven`t had any reply coming to almost year and half! DON`T GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY, I THOUGHT I`D SAVED 20£ BUT ACTUALLY LOST 870+!!!

“Worst customer experience ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Underwood258 on 03/02/2023

My wife and I booked a flight to Kuala Lumpur on the 23rd October 2020 due to the COVID-19 and the travel restrictions we were unable to fly. I was given a credit till May 2022 I called byojet 20 times and send them many emails never received any reply e-mail. I wanted to book again for Kuala Lumpur I was told BA currently not flying into Kuala Lumpur I booked new flights with different airline. Our voucher date was confirmed till May 2023 last 6 month I called customer service and checked if it is possible to change my destination from Kuala Lumpur to maldives I was promised by the customer service advisor I can only book with them and I cannot book directly with BA. I am tired of calling them and they are not being able offer any flight I am about to give up my £2094.00.

“Don’t use them- terrible customer support”

★☆☆☆☆

written by AmalieB on 26/01/2023

I booked a flight from Melbourne to Colombo and wanted to change the return date for an emergency. So I called them to inquire about my options with date changes. The agents at the call centre keeps telling me the booking is a “US booking” and they can’t access it to even check pricing. It’s been 5 days of calls and emails with agents promising they would get a response from the “relevant team” but I’ve got nothing and the tickets are getting pricier by the day! They sent me an sms and email today to say call the customer care number to address the concern, which I did, but they say the same! Very poor customer service!

“BYO jet facing investigation”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Araceliv453 on 13/05/2022

BYO Jet (part of the flight centre group) are about to be investigated by AFTA for potential large scale withdrawal of customer funds in the form of flight credits that they are not allowing customers to access. Flight credits were awarded to customers when flights were grounded during the pandemic. Now that the airways are open again BYO jet is not answering calls and e-mails. The funds have gone somewhere, but where?

“Never again”

★☆☆☆☆

written by kforna on 30/04/2022

As many others, flight cancelled in 2020. Now trying to book a flight and I can't use the credit. 3 phone calls. 2-hour waiting time before someone picks up. Always promised emails to explain details / provide quotes. Nothing received. They are just pushing people to forget about their credit.

★☆☆☆☆

written by Willoughby67 on 10/01/2021

It has been a year now, byojet mever refunded my money. I contacted them thousands of times on email and phone call, but they never replied me on my refund. They misbehave and even abuse customers on call. Stay away from Byojet . Unprofessional people with no work ethics.

“Impossible to contact, and hung up phone calls”

★☆☆☆☆

written by MacLeanjx10 on 27/04/2020

Being told BYOJet can't help me unless the airline cancels the flight (because the airline told them this), however have various emails from the airline AND a page on their website saying you can get a full credit for any flights still operating before 31st July. Have also been told to take it up with the airline, which I know I can't do if it isn't booked directly through them. Being given false information and then get hung up on after 2 hours on hold. Also no responses to any emails at all after over a month. At least now I know never to use them again!

“Zero communication & profit making on COVID-19!!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by platonmalakhov on 21/04/2020

I booked and fully paid for my flights with LATAM airlines through BYOJET several months prior to departure; due to Pandemic flights were cancelled by LATAM making it impossible to embark the aircraft. Refunds of $38 dollars per ticket were offered whereas we paid in excess of $1500 for each one! Online form for submitting flight alteration is not working. Emails not answered. This is a shameless company doing Zero service and cashing in on pandemic. SHAME!

“AVOID”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Annalisec5 on 01/04/2020

Airline has already refunded them (was told that by airline) but BYOJET won't refund me. They take $350 as a cancellation fee when the airline charges $0. Even holding a credit with the airline results in a "nominal" BYOJET charge of $55 when the airline charges nothing. Disgusting that they would use a situation where people are losing their lives to make money. When this is over, make them pay by avoiding them. they're often a little cheaper but they should be held to account for their lowlife behaviour.

“Extremely Bad Customer Service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by KevinlloydS on 28/03/2020

What an extremely frustrating journey dealing with your customer service #BYOjet. Not only do you have 3 hours of waiting time - but your customer service also guides people wrong and advises them to deal with the airline directly - and the Airline has no clue about this #ThaiAirways. Then you charge $$250 USD considering what's happening around the world #Covid19 pandemic when all airlines #ThaiAirways have canceled their fees for changes/cancellation. Seriously #badcustomerservice and not bothered when both the Airlines and Customers have suffered the inconvenience both mentally and financially. All Airlines who have business with you should know about this - #BYOjet #BadCustomerService #Travel #Neveragain #NoService #Airline #Agency #BYOTravel #Fees #Cancellation #Skyscanner #BanBYOJet #BookFlightswithBYOjet #SingaporeAirlines #QuantasAirways #Emirates #EtihadAirways #AirNewZealand #CathayPacific #QatarAirways #KoreanAir

“DO NOT USE BYOjets”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Jamesyule on 24/04/2019

I booked through BYOjet and had to change the date of my flight. I requested to change my booking. They demanded that I pay taxes, charges, fare difference and an automatic fee of £98. In total this would cost more than a new ticket (in all circumstances), so I asked for a refund and they refused. Customer care is on a carousel, every time I emailed back, a different person responded; none of them are helpful; all of them are patronising and insincerely polite. Their bottom line is summed up in the final email I received, "There is no human intervention when you made the booking, whatever you input that will be the information capture by the system. And before you proceed with the payment there is a check box that you agree with the terms & conditions [...] The penalties quoted is as per ticket policy". Whatever your circumstances, this agency will follow the terms and conditions without question. So my next question is: How can the person responsible for this company's ticket policy be investigated and charged in a criminal court? Because they just took my money, took my holiday and gave me nothing in return.

“AVOID under any circumstances”

★☆☆☆☆

written by SaRaMdv on 26/09/2018

AVOID using them. I've read several reviews about byojet from disgruntled customers, unfortunately, only after making my booking. Last evening, I booked 3 Sydney Delhi return tickets, for travel in Feb 2019. The booking email showed a return date of 15 March, while we wanted to come back on 15 Feb. This morning, when I read the email showing the itinerary, I requested a change of date (within 24 hours of booking). Byojet is asking for AU$ 500 per person for change of date, while I am getting a whole new ticket for same dates, with good connections for AU$ 749pp. I have now read several reviews where people have booked with byojet and their date has been changed. When I requested cancellation of ticket, they said, there's no refund. They have also refused to show me their IT log (where I keyed in the dates of travel), claiming it is confidential. If it is my record and they claim I have written the wrong date, then why can't they let me see it.  I am totally disappointed with the lack of concern shown by byojet towards customer requirements. At most, they should charge for difference in fare, if at all, applicable.

“Beware!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by FrustratedofKent on 16/12/2017

I have spent hours on the telephone to these people and basically they just fudge about the terms and conditions. They also told me to telephone the airline as only they could help. This turned out to be untrue as the airline informed me the ticket belongs to the travel company. Their telephone line is also of questionable quality making it difficult to sustain a conversation without constant repetition.

“Book your Own tickets Again Jet ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by jonpohgene on 21/11/2017

Dear Friends, SHARE THIS POST NOW, IF YOU CARE FOR THOSE AROUND YOU. I’m not the only victim; there were hordes before me and I am pretty sure I wouldn’t be the last. Never ever book through BYOjet, unless you intend to "book your own" airline tickets again like I did. I booked a ticket through BYO Jet in early August this year. The first attempt did not went through due to some authentication code thing that I am required to key in during payment. I called them up and was finally advised to re-booked my air tickets after 2 hours of discussion. I confirmed it with them and took the 2nd attempt to booked my tickets. This time round it went through and I was happy to received a call to inform me that they will not be charging me for my 1st attempt. I even confirmed the details with them. Following which, I received a confirmation email from them with an attached itinerary. Our next correspondence was 4 days before my departure, as I wanted to inquire about my baggage allowance but was informed that they had cancelled my flight tickets and had refunded my money. This was 4 days before my flight !! They insisted that my flight did not went through at all and the email was to inform me that the email was just a tax invoice and not a confirmation. In the first place, I did not received any notifications from them to inform me that they had cancelled my tickets and refunded my money. As a result, I spent an additional SGD$1000 to book the same flight tickets arrangement on my own as it was for a group trip. Moreover, there were so many loopholes in their conversation with me. If the payment was not authenticated like what they had said, how did they then managed to debit the amount from my credit card? And why would they need to refund the money??? Most importantly, why did they word the email in the following manner and include the itinerary. Dear, Thank you for choosing to travel with BYOjet Singapore, we are pleased to confirm your booking.

“Cancellation without any notify ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Potter145 on 08/11/2017

I booked a flight with my friend, under my name and my card. We booked it in June and my friend cancel it on July. Well friend is just friends, but no one notify me about this, don't mention about my friend, even the travel agent didn't email me where else I booked using my email instead of my friend. Yesterday 7/11/17 I called their hotline to make enquiries of deferring the date as I got some emergencies going on, they only tell me it was cancel by my friend and that flight doesn't exists, and I am flying on the 9/11/17. So how should I feel right now? My calls was passed around among them and nothing they can do about it. Where else on my end, I know nothing about the cancellations and my money just gone like that. They should notify me regarding the cancellation, they should! Its ridiculous, it's like 20 people book a same flight together and one just call to make a cancellation and they will cancel for all the 20, and they answered me 'yes, they can do it'. without any verifications, nothing.
