Complaint Rating:

I purchased a flight for my brother to fly from Vermont to Wisconsin for a job interview. All confirmations I received stated the flight was on US Airways, turns out though when he went to check in it was United. It took the airport personnel so long to figure that out that he missed his flight. After a combined 2.5 hours on the phone with 800-EXPEDIA in India we finally got him a new flight, several hours later and he made it in very late the night before his early AM interview. Everyone we talked to tried to charge us expensive fees to get him on another flight after he missed his first one due to their error. I asked for someone to call me back by the end of business or by the end of the next day at the latest to hear about a resolution, and of course no one called. When I called back I had to talk with 3 people, one of whom basically told me I couldn't read. She had a different confirmation than I had, her version clearly stated the flight would be on United, but I never received that confirmation. If I had life would have been good! I finally spoke with a manager who credited me a $100 but didn't resolve the issue. She stated that it was my responsibility to log-in to my account and print out the itinerary from there. So why do they send an email confirmation that says print this and take it with you?! And how could my brother log-in to my account and print a confirmation? Ridiculous. There were other issues too, our confirmation numbers had changed, flight numbers had changed, they did not contact us to let us know. Everyone there my brother and I spoke with treated us very rudely, their attitude was like we didn't matter and that were bothering them when they made a mistake and wouldn't own up to it. Expedia Promise (http://www.expedia.com/daily/highlights/Expedia-Promise/default.asp?CCheck=1) my ass! I will never use Expedia again, you cannot trust their information to be accurate, (their own customer service agents agreed to this statement when I was on the phone with them). Please pass this on to save others the frustration and humiliation my family and I experienced.
