Huge let down

Had high hopes after seeing relatively positive reviews online but that wasn't a reflection on my experience. Booked an inflexible ticket but then had a family emergency so couldn't take my planned flights. Contacted the admin team asking for at least a tax refund on my unused flights and didn't get a reply. Avoid at all costs and pay more to book directly with the airline.

I had a very disappointing experience…

I had a very disappointing experience with this travel agency.
I called them to discuss rescheduling my flight and had to wait on the line for around 1.5 hours just to get connected. After finally answering, they asked me to stay on hold again — and I waited for another 30 minutes. Despite all that, no one came back on the call to assist me.
I also sent them an email regarding this issue, but I have not received any response so far.
This level of customer service is extremely frustrating and unacceptable, especially when dealing with time-sensitive travel issues. I hope they take this feedback seriously and improve their support system.

TOTAL DISASTER

NOT RESPONDING AT ALL

It's been 8th week still trying to get refund on my cancelled flight due to middle east circumstances. Tried to contact them by all means but no response and that's very frustrating.
Poorly trained staff with conflicting and false information.
And by reading costumers reviews I hope in future if I ll get refund they ll cut their admin fee for cancelled flight which was not my fault.
TOTAL DISASTER

Please avoid using this third party platform - I've booked BA flights and when trying to manage my booking my reference number does not work to try and amend the flights. I spent 3 hours on a call (2 of those on hold) try to amend my outbound flight to be told it would cost a further 1k when online the prices are advertised the same fee. I understood the airline fees etc which I was willing to pay but this price was ridiculous. When I go through to someone they put me on a further hold for 20 mins to not be very helpful at all - they had a poor attitude I do not recommend using Travel Up and would book direct with the airline!!!

I had booked a hotel only to have an awful experience from the beginning having to chase to make the final payment for my hotel.
To then be told it was paid for and a booking confirmation sent to me. To then arrive very late to my hotel alone and be told that there was no reservation. Later it transpired that both travel up and the hotel were saying they both cancelled it and the eventually travel up told my hotel that I cancelled it, not sure why I would have turned up after cancelling especially in a foreign country. Still not getting anywhere I had to repay the hotel to stay. I called travel up and was waiting for 3 hours for them to call back and nothing. I will never and never recommend anyone to book with them

Had a very bad experience with this…

Had a very bad experience with this travel agent. I booked and purchased flights and selected their 'cancel for any reason' policy for an additional £142. This was shown clearly on my booking confirmation email but when I tried to cancel they claimed I hadn't purchased it. When I checked my credit card statement it became clear that their payment system had failed to take the additional payment in spite of it being on my booking confirmation. As a result I was told that I would not get any refund for cancellation which would have cost me nearly £600! Luckily the airline subsequently offered full refund for cancellation anyway which I confirmed with the travel agent. But even though the airline said it would take 15 days to process refund, the travel agent said I would have to wait 6-8 weeks! I have now registered a court claim for the amount I am owed. Horrible experience and will never use again!

Avoid Travelup – A Black Hole of Customer Service

I would strongly advise anyone to avoid booking through Travelup. My flight from Manchester to Beijing was cancelled by Hainan Airlines. While the airline automatically rebooked me for the following day, this didn’t work for my pre-booked hotels and tours, so I contacted Travelup to reschedule for an earlier date. What followed was a masterclass in poor service. I called multiple times. Each time, I was told I would receive an email within 24–48 hours. Those deadlines passed repeatedly with zero communication. After calling a third time, they promised to resolve my request (to fly a day earlier) within 72 hours. They actually replied within 3 hours this time, but they completely ignored my specific request and instead offered a date even later than the original cancellation. Travelup’s "support" consists of scripted delays and a total disregard for the customer’s schedule. Save yourself the headache and book elsewhere.

Very poor experience with TravelUp.

Very poor experience with TravelUp.
I paid £470.56 for a fully refundable ticket, but after the airline changed the schedule, I was refunded only £377.56. They kept £93 in “admin,” “booking,” and “tax” fees—even though the change wasn’t my fault.
On top of that, they stopped responding to my emails when I asked for clarification.
Misleading and unprofessional. I would not recommend.

Standard

Standard, fast and easywebsite to confirm payment. Seems to be a secure method of payment. Cheapest price for this flight that I could find (this time).

Good evening, Mr. Arshad,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.

Following the airline’s schedule change and cancellation options provided to you, your booking was processed for cancellation on 16 March in line with your request. In such cases, refunds are dependent on the airline releasing the funds back to us before they can be returned to the customer. This is a standard industry process and can unfortunately take longer than expected, depending on the airline’s timelines.

We understand how frustrating delays can be, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. Please be assured that your refund request remains active and will be processed back to your original payment method as soon as the funds are received from the airline.

We regret that your experience has not met expectations and appreciate your patience while this matter is being resolved.

Regards,
TravelUp

Good evening, Monique K,

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear about the incorrect reference provided initially and the long waiting time you experienced when trying to contact us. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to deliver.

We understand how important it is to receive accurate information and timely support, and we apologise for the inconvenience caused. We’re glad to hear the correct reference was eventually provided, but we appreciate that this should have been handled more efficiently from the start.

Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the relevant team to help improve our service and response times.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Regards,
TravelUp

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Booked through this company back in Jan AND PAID FOR THE GOLD PACKAGE, flight got cancelled week in advance so reached out to get a refund, and nothing.

They plugged out their phones and did not respond to any emails.

Went through the credit card company to get my money back and NOW this fraud company is disputing it saying they provided a service. Company should get sued for not fulfilling their end of contract and then they have the cheek to dispute and clawback whatever cash they can which they failed to earn.

Good evening,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Following the airline’s cancellation of your flight, your booking was processed in line with the options available, including refund via the airline or alternative arrangements where applicable. As is standard practice, refunds can only be completed once the airline releases the funds back to us, which may take time depending on their processing timelines.

We’re also sorry to hear you had difficulty reaching our support team. While we do our best to maintain service availability, there are occasions where high demand can result in longer wait times than usual, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

As your payment has been disputed through your card provider, the matter will now be handled through the chargeback process in accordance with banking procedures. We will cooperate fully with your bank to ensure the case is reviewed fairly and accurately based on the booking and services provided.

We regret that your experience has led to this outcome and appreciate you sharing your concerns.

Regards,
TravelUp
