“Never ever use this agency!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Stine0930 on 01/07/2011

This travelling agency is as incompetent, unprofessional and untrustworthy as they come. Please, do yourself a favor and never book your tickets with them!
First of all, they never get back to you when you try to contact them, even when they say they will. When you finally get in touch with them, nobody seems to be able to help you out except for the manager who isn't always there.
When I booked my ticket it took me several weeks to actually receive my e-ticket. This is apparently how they work.
The real problems, however, started when I was going to in fact use my ticket. The airport had no ticket number for me, and even though I had gotten a reservation number from Travelpapa, it was useless, because they had not booked any seats for me on the flights. I could not get in touch with Travelpapa while in airport (as usual might I add), and nobody could help me, and I was basically told to go home.
I finally did get in touch with them, and 10 minutes before check-in closes, they come up with my ticket number, after my boyfriend has been online with them for 2 hours. And then it was too late, as I was already on the train home. Now what they told me is my ticket was lost if I didn't check in within those 10 minutes!!
I've been on chat and on the phone with them all day, and all they do is clean their hands, even though everyone else I've talked to from the actual airlines and at the airport have told me that this is clearly Travelpapa's responsibility.
I have done nothing wrong here, and nobody does anything to help me out after they've messed up. I'm absolutely appalled by the way this agency does business and treats their customer. I travel frequently and I've never in my life been through worse customer's service. I recommend that everyone stays away from this agency!

I think so too.
I checked "Show only E-Tickets" and select that air ticket on site of TRAVELPAPA.
But have to pay more after confirmation.

Unfortunately we are not able to issue that airline combination for you, system does not permit us.
We can try to process it as two separate tickets, it will be with 5US Dollars more.

Yeah, they are 'smart' like that.. I ended up buying a brand new ticket with a different airline, because Travelpapa screwed me over. So that was money lost. Also turned out that they had used the skymiles of the manager of the agency to pay for the ticket that I had booked with them. This is illegal, and I told the airline about it, and they said they would investigate, because skymiles can only be used for the person who earned them or family members, not as payment for a ticket that a customer bought! Anyways, long story and I could keep going.
Just never use them!!
