Today we issued formal complaints to @airarabiagroup and @AJET_TR to drop @bookingcom as their partner Go to Gate are embezzling refund money from flight refunds. How do we know this? We called the airlines at the same time as calling Booking.com where they lied.
Now 40 mins, call 28 over two weeks, @bookingcom Still waiting to change flight. Constantly cut off. SCANDLE!!! @Tripadvisor take note. All #tourists should AVOID booking through @bookingcom. CX is the worst I've every experienced. Treated like a peasant and muck!

Now in the que a 3rd time, call 28, this morning as flights cancelled @AJET_TR. Repeatly told to be connected to another team @bookingcom. DISCONNECTED, DISCONENCTED, DISCONENECTED Appauling. What is the point in paying for those CX Managers who have failed to design for this!

Phenomenal episode. The themes of testing ideas, starting small, and pushing through rejection landed hard for me because I lost everything in the UK, moved to the Middle East, and had to rebuild from zero. This one felt true @StevenBartlett! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

20 mins on hold still, call 28.....still no resolve, still no refund. #TravelAlert #TravelDiaries #tourists
CUT OFF AGAIN! That was call 27 Here we go again, call number 28. "All our agents are busy at the moment..." ..... @bookingcom we don't want you to have a great experience. We just want to take your money and make it impossible to get a refund. Have a nice day."

Another day in hell with @bookingcom. On call 27, (cut off two times already calls 25 and 26) trying to change flights, trying to get my money back. TAKE TAKE TAKE - "the customer is at fault... me...again" apparently. "We cannot do anything!" #tourists #TravelAlert

Outcome of call number 19 - Hung up on by the advisor. Told "Cannot refund your flight, you missed your flight" even though I was told it was a system problem @bookingcom side over two weeks ago. All I'm trying to do is change my flight and get compensated for your mistake.

More lies, more misinformation from @bookingcom Told booking.com would reschedule my flight by an agent almost two weeks ago, due to the middle-east challenges. Now being told I cannot be compensated by @bookingcom and its my fault! What a S**T show!

And here we go again. Now calling an 18th time. Every call is a constant 'BLAME THE CUSTOMER'. Mis-informed, lied to, told to cover the cost when @bookingcom advisers told me the fault lies with Booking.com but cannot do anything.

Just watched another moment of my childhood come to an end. Thank you @HarrisonFordLA @IndianaJones for the adventures. Your films inspired me to build confidence to travel and see our ancestors around the world over 20 years. I hope the hat & whip return for more adventures.
