“DO NOT USE EVER....JETLINE TRAVEL DEAL OF THE DAY”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Goldenrevolution on 15/06/2012

WHAT A NIGHTMARE.

RUDE
SHOUTING
THREATENING

these are just some of the words that describe the conversation that I would use to describe the conversation that I have just had this evening with 'Jeff' who was very clearly foreign and certainly not a 'Jeff'...

After calling with a reference number from a deal in Turkey with Icelolly.com and taking card details he then proceeded to tell my partner that he was going to now be charging us both extra for baggage, hand luggage, admin fees, checking in fees (yes-£30 to check in at Luton Airport or £12 online from my own home!!!). This eventually took the £287 holiday (each) to over £340 (each).
We just agreed as this, for a weeks All Inclusive to Turkey in October was still very reasonable!

'Jeff' then informed us that he would call us back in 15 minutes to confirm everything, but in this time we would be receiving flight booking and holiday booking information.

During this time we came across this forum with the shocking details on the company and how they appear to be professionals at scamming us good natured Brits! Naturally we succumbed to the fact that he would clearly be calling back to tell us that the flights/hotel/air space/country would be unavailable on these dates for these prices....

40 minutes late (and no emails) 'Jeff' did indeed call us back and, low and behold, these flights were not infant leaving Luton airport anymore...but if we were to pay more and go for 8 days we could have different ones which are so much better...

I explained (6 times) that this was not possible due to work commitments only to be told I was stupid as they were better and I'm being ridiculous...

I then told him that we would like to cancel...on hold again...and wow he has managed to find even better flights on the days we wanted, from the same airport...for £69 each more and them £25 each more for luggage too....

I (again) told him that we can't do this (this would mean that the whole thing is now going to be over £290 more than we originally booked for) and I was shouted at, told I was being rude as he had wasted his time and I simply can't see that this is just the best holiday ever (3* Turkish cheap getaway)...shouting and insults later, I asked if he could comfort the cancellation via email to which I was told no, why should he and the phone put down....

So, hour later, credit card cancelled and no holiday......

What a nightmare, what a rude man, what a company!!!!

wow! I wish I had read this before I just booked with them. Nightmare does not describe it! I booked my Tenerife holiday through teletextholidays last year and was really impressed with how good the holiday was. So again this year myself and my partner decided to go through them again. The agent this time at the other end was (name removed) (as if!) couldn't really understand half of what he said. He then told me as we were booking I could have the luxury of a room with a balcony for only £28 extra per head. Of course I would rather a balcony so silly me - I paid the extra £56. Just like you I got the phone call half an hour after the call the flights had gone up by £46 per head - wow wasn't expecting that! I told them there was no way I was paying this as they added on a credit card charge without telling me throughout the sale and just mentioned it at the end. On hold and would you believe suddenly I didn't have to pay this.
After looking up reviews of the hotel online I read that every room comes with a balcony. Obviously I called back straight away and spoke to my good friend (name removed) who told me the extra room charge was used for flights. Good one.
Been an on going war with them since and had to agree with £30 refunded or if I cancelled they would take £508 off me - I THINK!?
AVOID THIS COMPANY! CAN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD THEY SAY WHICH THEY THEN FALL BACK ON AND SAY THEY HAVE TOLD YOU. I will leave an update on how the holiday actually went once we have been!!
