Good afternoon, Mr. Beckett.
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re genuinely sorry to hear that things didn’t start off well and that we weren’t able to turn the experience around. At TravelUp, we aim to provide a seamless and supportive journey for all our customers, and it’s unfortunate when expectations aren’t met.
We’ve looked into your case and found that you contacted us twice. The first time was regarding a date change for your reservation. During that conversation, our representative explained the costs involved, which are based on the fare rules set by the airline. The fare you purchased was a light fare, and such fares typically come with restrictions. Any amendments require an airline penalty, fare difference, and an admin fee—none of which are set by TravelUp, but are mandated by the airline.
The second time, you reached out to cancel your reservation, and again, our team advised you based on the terms and conditions you agreed to at the time of booking. These terms clearly state that an admin fee applies for cancellations and that the booking fee is non-refundable.
In both instances, our team followed the policies and procedures in place to ensure transparency and fairness. If your review stems from these charges, we hope this explanation helps clarify that these are industry-standard rules, not discretionary fees imposed by us.
However, if there’s anything else that contributed to your dissatisfaction, we’d genuinely appreciate the opportunity to understand and address it. Please feel free to contact us directly so we can assist further.
Warm regards,
TravelUp.
