Travelocity rebooked my canceled flights without notifying me. I had to cancel those flights and fight with them to issue a credit. When I went to use the credit, it had disappeared, though I had the email with credit reference number. I received credit for a canceled flight.
Called to use the credit and was told the remaining balance would be refunded. Never received refund. Called again, they said they did not see any refund to call the airlines. Called the airlines, they seen the refund but I had to talk to Travelocity. I called again and was told I had no refund only a credit. Pretty sad, spoke with 3 different agents and not one of them had the same information.
I prefer Booking. On Oct. I used Travelocity and screenshot every page I went through to the end. I uploaded the app after payment was made. But not my flight to Vegas. So I paid for a round trip package from Kansas City to Las Vegas, but do not have the flight info to get there, only the departing flight to get home. This is unacceptable, do NOT use Travelocity. She would not cancel the package after me asking multiple times. Do not use them!!
