Bravofly awful customer service, didn't change name after paying for it. left us stranded in vienna

Mistake with name (one letter wrong) on my booking, rang 4 weeks prior to travel and they advised it would be 30 euro to change name. I agreed with this, after 3 weeks this had still not happened, spoke to customer care team and they advised someone would be in touch, after 3 days no one had contacted me. I had to ring back again, they advised the name could not be changed and I would need a new flight, said they would ring back to book this. Again this did not happen and I had to ring back, spent over an hour on hold to be told that there were no bookings and they could not do anything.

Day before flying out, they rang and said the airline had changed their mind and would let me change the letter in the name, cost to me £75, I paid and they said they would send email confirmation within the hour. This did not happen, day of flying I had to ring them again, they advised me that they had issues with systems and would definitely receive email conformation within 3 hours. Landed in Vienna on the Friday evening and they had emailed me asking me to ring, I rang them again, spent 1 hour 30 minutes on hold to then be told they could not change the name now and I had no flight back home. My partner suffers with serious mental health issues and this was a trip to help her and get away to relax. They said they would refund me the £75 I paid for name change, they still have not. This was extremely distressful and ruined the holiday and for my partner it has made her very ill again due to her mental health issues.

Bravofly have simply left us stranded in a foreign country with no means of getting back, this is illegal to say the least. Awful customer service, completely imcompetent. To get back home I had to book a separate flight with another company for £572, this is simply shocking and not on.

I would like the following:

1. refund original flights with Bravofly £198
2. Refund the £75 name change fee which has not happened.
3. Refund me the £572 for new flights because your company left me stranded in Vienna
4. Compensation for awful customer care, leaving us stranded, making my partner more ill, stressed and depressed due to mental health.
5. compensation for over 4 hours worth of calls from my mobile phone.

I will give you 7 days to reply to me in full, with the above compensated, before I have to instruct solicitors. Your customer care and company is simply. awful and I will not be flying with yourselves ever again. Now will I recommend you.

Regards

R. Beverley

Bravofly booking ref [protected] & [protected]

Having booked two flights from BHX to PNH on the 30.09.2017 I noticed that there was an error in my partners surname (it was Yidy instead of Tidy). I thought this was very strange as I had used autofill to fill in the form ensuring that all details were correct. I contacted Bravofly and was told I could make the change via their webportal, which I did. I thought that would be the end of it. On the 29.10 I received an email explaining there had been a change to my return flight, there was no mention of passenger names so I assumed (what a mistake) that the change had been made. On the 20.12 I received confirmation of the flights and the name was still Yidy not Tidy. I contacted Bravofly and was told for a fee of £77 they could make that changed, I was getting very concerned at this point but was assured there was no problem. I missed a call on the 21.12 and then received an email saying the changes wouldn't be made until the payment was received. I made the payment and then on 25.12 I got a call from Bravofly informing me that the issue was sorted. On the 27.12 whilst I was snowed in without power I received another call from Bravofly informing me that the change had not been made and there was nothing that could be done, in fact I was told 'not to worry it is only one letter the airlines will be fine'. I was not happy with this response. I then spent 10 hours over the course of two days talking to Bravofly (who promised to call me back on 5 occasions and failed every time), Flybe, Cathay Pacific and Sabre support (the ticketing system support desk) and eventually I have managed to get the whole situation resolved directly with the airlines without any help from Bravofly. We are travelling to Cambodia for a friends wedding which has been planned for over a year, I have worked a lot of overtime to afford this break and my partner (who is maid of honour) spent two days crying as we could not see a resolution the stress that we have been put through is unacceptable, as is the complete lack of professionalism and lack of customer service from Bravofly. During my dealing with Bravofly I have spoken to Resharli, Deepak, Amod, Vishan, Sundeep, Kate, Megaha, Manuch & Priti. I have been left feeling that Bravofly is a company of Charlatans and Shysters. I really wished I had spent the time to read their reviews online as it paints a very clear picture of how appalling this company is. I did receive a refund of the £77 which I paid for the changes as they had not managed to achieve the changes.

Bravofly bravofly "no-show" hidden rule - refused flight

Dear Sirs,

I would like to lodge a complaint and a refund request.

For ease of review:

i. We booked 4 flights using BravoFly, serviced by Malaysia Airlines (Attachment 1). These flights were as follows:
1) LHR to KUL, flight MH0003
2) KUL to SDK, flight MH2710
3) SDK to KUL, flight MH2711 (24th October)
4) KUL to LHR, flight MH0002 (24th October)

ii. We were in Kuala Lumpur on 23rd October due to illness. Consequently I made phone calls to both BravoFly and Malaysia airlines more than 24 hours before flight MH2711 to let them know we would not need to board the flight from SDK to KUL (MH2711) but intend to board KUL to LHR (MH0002). We were told we were not allowed to board flight MH0002 if we did not board flight MH2711.

iii. I asked both parties why we would not be allowed to board because:
a) it does not state this on the booking confirmation or e-ticket; and
b) they are separate flights.

iv. Both BravoFly and Malaysia airlines told me to contact the other.

v. I contacted BravoFly who provided a variety of reasons why we could not board flight MH0002 if we did not board flight MH2711, stating:
a) contact Malaysia Airlines;
b) it was due to the type of ticket and that this was in the BravoFly Terms and Conditions (T&Cs);
c) review the Malaysia Airlines T&Cs (that we were told are available on the BravoFly website).

vi. I contacted Malaysia Airlines who provided a variety of reasons why we could not board flight MH0002 if we did not board flight MH2711, stating:
a) contact BravoFly;
b) it was due to the type of ticket and that this should be in BravoFly Terms and Conditions (T&Cs);
c) review the Malaysia Airlines T&Cs (that we were told are available on the Malaysia Airlines website).

vii. I spent a large amount of money on numerous international calls to be told the above. With no help, I purchased replacement tickets for almost identical times (demonstrating that we would have been in KUL airport and entirely able to board the MH0002 flight). See attachment 2.

viii. I have since reviewed:
a) the BravoFly booking confirmation (attachment 1);
b) the BravoFly T&Cs ( http://www.bravofly.co.uk/vg1/booking/conditionsFlight.action?idBooking=1039096213 including Section 6.3 on "no-shows" ); and
c) the Malaysia Airlines T&Cs ( https://www.malaysiaairlines.com/content/dam/mas/master/en/pdf/book-plan/general_conditions_of_carriage.pdf) as supplied via a link at BravoFly ( http://www.bravofly.co.uk/en/info/airlines.html

ix. In summary, none of these documents state that if I did not board flight MH2711 I could not board MH0002. In no way was I explicitly told at any point during the point of sale that I could not do so, and in no way does it say in any of the T&Cs referenced that I could not do so:
 Nowhere on the ticket does it say this;
 Nowhere in the T&C's provided of Bravo Fly does it say this; and
 Nowhere in the T&C's of Malaysia Airlines does it say this.

x. I therefore request a refund.

Refund requested
I believe that I am entitled to a refund (circa £500) for the costs of our flights amounting to either:
a) the portion of the ticket booked with you that was unused; or
b) the cost of the tickets we were forced to purchase due to being told by both Bravo Fly and Malaysia Airlines that we could not fly.

In fact, Section 6.3 of the BravoFly T&Cs states that an unused ticket entitles one to a refund. I would welcome this for both Anna Rankin and my own tickets. On this note, this guidance was not disclosed by customer service.

Bravofly fullflex cancellation insurance never replied to my cancellation request

When I purchased my flight from BravoFly on 30 Sept 2017, I opted for the Fullflex cancellation policy, despite thinking I'd never had to cancel a flight in my life before.

The day before my planned departure (10 Nov 2017) from Belgium to Cambodia, I had an emergency that made my international travel impossible, and therefore contacted the insurance company as per the contract they sent me by email upon registration. I wrote two emails on 9 Nov with all the required information - Booking ID [protected] - but I didn't get any acknowledgement.

It's been five days now. While the contract says they're supposed to get back to me within 48 hours, I'm still waiting for any kind of reply. Here's the contract: http://www.bravofly.com/insurance/terms-and-conditions/73/en/fullflex_en.pdf

Having to cancel an international flight is already a burden. An insurance is supposed to help me ease the process, not make it even more stressful. I really wish they would reply within the timeframe stated in their contract, or ensure that any additional day being late comes with additional financial compensation. I am expecting a speedy resolution and fulfilment of their part of the contract as soon as possible.

Bravofly flight ticket

On 26/10/2017 I bought an air ticket with Alitalia, after a few minutes realizing I was wrong I asked for a refund that I was told by the operator that I would have been charged without charge on the same credit card ( Amex) within 15 days of nmax, I have not received any refund today. Precisely that the ticket was on behalf of ALESSIO CONGIU and that the card used was in my name CONGIU PIERPAOLO for an amount of €. 228.44. I look forward to your kind reply. Thank you
regards.

Bravofly flight ticket lost

My brother (Michael Burch) and I (Alexander Burch) were booked onto a China Southern Airlines flight from London, Heathrow to Auckland, NZ via Guangzhou, China on the 18th October 2017. We used Bravofly to book our tickets.

My brother had changed the date of his return flight from 18th April 2018 to the 22nd March 2018.

When we arrived at the check in desk, my ticket appeared but they were unable to find my brother's ticket.

We spent 90 minutes on the phone to Bravofly over several phone calls back and forth and they were unable to resolve the problem for us before check in closed and we weren't able to board our flight.

It is our understanding that after my brother changed his flight, his ticket was taken from our group booking and put on a separate booking. Although a new ticket had been created, China Southern Airlines (CSA) could not access the booking at the check in desk and thereby check us in. CSA tried to use our names, ticket numbers and PNR codes (including the new code from the new ticket) to access our ticket but couldn't.

At this point I'd just like to say that a CSA senior representative at Heathrow called Joel was incredibly helpful and supportive towards us throughout the evening and we were very thankful.

CSA (China Southern Airlines) requested us to ask Bravofly to create a new booking for Michael so that CSA could access it. After about an hour on the phone, Bravofly agreed to create a new booking for my brother and told me personally that it would be ready in ten minutes for CSA to use. Whilst I was being told this, my brother was phoned by Bravofly who asked if he had a problem with his booking. At this point, Bravofly had told me that the situation was being resolved so my brother told them that this was the case.

Ten minutes later, no new booking had been created. We spent the remaining twenty minutes before check in closed on the phone to Bravofly trying again to have them create a new booking for CSA to use to check us in. With a few minutes to spare, Bravofly suddenly said that they needed written confirmation from CSA to create a new booking. This didn't happen (there was only about three minutes before check in closed at this point) and so after a further twenty minutes of circular conversations, we were unable to check in.

After we had missed our flight, my father became involved with our issue and phoned Bravofly. They informed him that as our tickets were FullFlex tickets he could cancel them up to one minute before the flight left and get a full refund. At this point there were only a few minutes left until the flight took off so under immense time pressure my father agreed that this was the best option. Upon agreeing to this, he then discovered that although he had been told we were entitled to a full refund, what we would actually receive was 90% of the worth of our tickets in the form of vouchers rather than as a monetary refund.

In addition to this miscommunication to my father, who was unclear of the details of our tickets having not been involved with our reservation until this point, as we had booked our tickets many months in advance, we are completely unable to book new tickets for the same price. Therefore, we missed our flight and could not purchase new ones with the vouchers.

Bravofly refuse to accept responsibility for the problem and say that they sent all of the information to CSA. They have blamed our inability to check in entirely on CSA without any proper investigation.

We were forced to leave Heathrow at almost midnight on the 18th and try to find accommodation in London for the night. We were forced to stay in London for two nights before we gave up on Bravofly being able to get us onto a plane anytime soon.

My brother then rang CSA and after being on hold for 50 minutes got through. He explained the situation and CSA said that if they hadn't received the booking then it was not their mistake but a technical error.

At this point, neither Bravofly nor CSA would accept responsibility for whatever caused us to miss our flight. I then engaged in a lengthy phone call with CSA to gain some insight into their side of the situation. I was told that at 15:25 on Wednesday 18th October (the day we were originally due to fly), my brother’s ticket was cancelled by Bravofly. CSA sent a message to Bravofly saying that they needed a new ticket number in order to make a new booking and requested this by 16:12 at the latest. They told me that they never received any communication from Bravofly at this time explaining what was going on nor a new ticket number. Therefore my brother’s booking was cancelled.

The CSA employee who I spoke to couldn’t explain this without talking to Bravofly but suggested that there had been an error with the sabre booking system that meant that the ticket number didn’t transfer correctly. She told me to get in contact with Bravofly again and request that they contact CSA in order to resolve the situation by discerning how the error occurred and getting a waiver code from CSA so that they could give us new tickets.

I then phoned Bravofly and was told that the my brother’s ticket had been cancelled in order to be changed at 17:39 on Wednesday. This was at Swiss time and equates to 15:39 UK time, so I’m confused as to how CSA were aware the Bravofly had cancelled the ticket before Bravofly were aware that they themselves had cancelled it?

A Bravofly employee told me that they would contact CSA to investigate the problem and try to obtain a waiver code. I was told that I would get a call back within three hours with the results of the phone call.

(Foolishly) I felt reassured by this information and we left the house for a few hours to try to regain some sanity. I got home at around 21:00 and immediately called Bravofly having not heard anything. After explaining our situation again on the phone, I was put on hold and then realised that absolutely nothing had happened. After my previous phone call we had been put on the bottom of a queue and CSA offices had shut before Bravofly had taken any action.

This is yet more evidence that Bravofly are not taking our problem seriously. This situation should be a major priority for Bravofly as our booking agent. Bravofly had approximately 2.5 hours with which to phone CSA and request a waiver code and yet nothing had happened. We had been unable to check in to our flight, had our travel plans completely disrupted, spent hours on the phone, had over 1500 euros of our money held by Bravofly in the form of vouchers and yet we were being given as little attention and help as was possible!

On the morning of the 20th of October I phoned Bravofly and was informed that they had finally contacted CSA and requested a waiver code. Why Bravofly didn’t call me to tell me this as they had said that they would and it was obviously a pressing issue I do not know. I was told that within an hour or two they would call me back with an update on whether or not they would be able to acquire a code.

Five hours later I called back and was told that there was no new information, that a waiver code could take any length of time to come and that within a few hours CSA would be closed for the weekend and that there would be no progress over the weekend.

Just to recap, I had been told by Bravofly at 15:30 on the 19th that I would know within three hours whether or not a waiver code was likely and that they would call me. There was no call and at 21:00 I phoned and was informed that nothing had been done but that they would call me when there was an update. At 11:00 the following morning I called and Bravofly had contacted CSA but had not communicated this to me. I was also told that I would hear back regarding the waiver code in the next hour or two. Five hours later (and about 24 hours after our first conversation regarding waiver codes), I had heard nothing, phoned Bravofly and was told that there was no update and that nothing would happen for the next sixty hours or so. Originally I was told progress would be made within three hours, several days later and I have heard nothing to suggest that progress will ever be made.

On the 21st of October I called Bravofly again and came to the conclusion that communication between CSA and Bravofly was incredibly slow and that this waiver code could take an indefinite amount of time to arrive. I tried on several occasions to phone CSA on the 20th and 21st of October to check with them that Bravofly had contacted them and had requested a waiver code and to try to get an idea about how long this might take. After spending hours on hold to CSA I gave up as my phone bill was getting enormous.

Our travel plans already having been delayed by three days at this point and with no hope of progress due to the vague and constantly changing information from Bravofly, we decided to use the voucher codes that Bravofly had given us and book two new tickets for as early as we could afford even though it would require us to pay hundreds of extra pounds to do so. We didn’t elect to buy FullFlex tickets as they cost an extra 100 euros or so and they didn’t seem to have helped us before. Although Bravofly had given us vouchers to the sum of 90% of our previous tickets, it became apparent that only one voucher can be used for one booking. So we were actually unable to use all of the money anyway as we had been given two vouchers, one for 1474.82 euros and one for 100.96 euros.Yet more money seemingly lost to Bravofly.

We booked two tickets to fly with Qatar airlines at 15:05 on the 24th of October. Unfortunately, upon receiving the confirmation email we had realised that my brother’s name appeared as Michael Burch Burch. We do not know the cause of this error and accept that it could have been us accidentally entering the surname into the forename category. We immediately phoned Bravofly to see if this was a problem and spent 90 minutes in one of the most stressful conversations of our lives. Bravofly could offer us no advice on whether or not this would be a problem and put immense time pressure on us, saying that we had to make a decision within 30 minutes of whether or not to cancel our flights in order to change the name on the booking.

Feeling like we had a gun put to our head to make a decision by a Bravofly employee, it seemed our options were:
-Risk having the name incorrect and not being able to board the flight, thus losing all of our money.
-Cancel my brother’s tickets and rebook them

The safer option seemed to cancel them and we were told we could have the money either as a voucher or as a refund to a debit card. However, after being give these two options it became apparent that a voucher would likely take 72 hours to arrive and therefore not come in time for my brother to rebook his flights for the same time. A card refund was not guaranteed to work as we had partly used vouchers to book these flights, it would take 5-15 days and as our faith in Bravofly to function as a booking agent or keep promises had been so demolished over the past few days, we weren’t even confident we would receive a refund at all.

Therefore, the only safe option seemed to cancel both tickets and reclaim money in the form of yet another voucher for Bravofly. Currently, we have more than £2000 in the form of Bravofly vouchers which will arrive sometime in the next 72 hours. Although we accept that this mis-typing of Michael’s name could be our fault, we would not be in the position in which we had to book new tickets if it wasn’t for Bravofly. We are incredibly frustrated by the way in which Bravofly has repeatedly put immense pressure on us to make snap decisions when we have no information about the best course of action. We are extremely disappointed with the completely contradictory and constantly changing information that Bravofly provides us. I do not understand why Bravofly, as a booking agent, would not know if two surnames would or would not be a problem. Surely it is their role to know the answers to such questions?

This is now the fifth day from missing our flight, we have no idea if anyone will ever resolve this problem and we have £2000 in the form of Bravofly vouchers which we cannot use for probably another 72 hours. What are we supposed to do?

As our booking agent, it is Bravofly's job to resolve this kind of problem for their customers. It is not their job to try to shirk all responsibility for errors and provide no help or information.

I understand that Bravofly would want to investigate the cause of the technical error before claiming responsibility. But I do not understand why Bravofly could not have put more effort into resolving the problem in the first place. It seems that not only have Bravofly rejected any responsibility for the cause of the error, they also accepted no responsibility on resolving the problem when it first arose and getting us onto the plane. As our booking agent, they should have put more effort into this. When we were at the airport, Bravofly had 90 minutes to create a new booking for CSA to use (I was told this would take all of 2 minutes to do) and thus solve the problem.

Instead, Bravofly have done nothing. They have made promise after promise and delivered nothing. They say they have contacted CSA but we have no idea if this is even true. If Bravofly have and CSA didn’t reply, why haven’t they followed this up? Why haven’t they called CSA every hour to make sure they are resolving it?

We feel completely robbed of a great deal of time and money. Money spent on flights with Bravofly. Money spent on phone calls to Bravofly and to CSA. Money spent on travel to and from Heathrow and London. Money on accommodation and supporting ourselves while we waited hoping for Bravofly to provide a solution. We have spent hours and hours and hours on the phone to Bravofly and CSA. We have wasted five days, waiting for a new means of travel and have been forced to change our plans and accommodation in New Zealand.

A brief search online shows me that many other people have had exactly the same issue with their booking as we have - that it was mysteriously cancelled and never recreated. Clearly this is not a one-off mistake that requires investigation to understand. This is a recurring problem that Bravofly still have not resolved. Resolve it.

We have absolutely zero trust in Bravofly to resolve this situation or ever function as a booking agent. We feel we deserve compensation for the lost time, money and distress caused to us.

Bravofly bad service/ not to use

I had booked a flight from Shanghai to Macao on 28th of August 2017 for my family via Bravofly, however the online system did duplicate bookings for us as we received two booking ID with the exactly same itinerary and charged money twice by credit card. I tried to send emails and call their customer service based in Australia to ask for canceling the duplicate booking and get a refund. BUT They are so rude & keep getting different excuses! AND Never reply your emails! Thursday was my forth calls to them and they said they will give me a reply in 4hrs. It is already 3 weeks from my first call. Seems like Bravofly trying to avoid their mistake and wont help. I just want a response or answer. Definitely The worst service or trade I have to deal with.
I FEEL RIPPED OFF!
ALL I WANT IS MY MONEY BACK!

Dear Sofia,
Thanks for your reply.
We have two booking ID [protected] and [protected] as your online system made duplicate bookings, now we want to keep the first one to use and cancel the second to get refund.
We also contacted Airline to check booking status and be told none of them had request to cancel via bravofly, SO please process the refund to us ASAP!
Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,
Flora

Bravofly flight to sydney

On the evening 14/August /2017 we tried to make a flight to Sydney with Bravofly. we got through to payment window and it said our card was locked out. I tried again thinking I had may have made a mistake, but the same thing happened. We then rang ANZ bank to see what the problem was with our card and the person my husband talked to refused to give him any information as it was my card that was looked out. He tried to explain that they would have to speak to him as I am unable to speak due to me having Motor Neuron and my voice does not work. She refused to give any help. We have taken this up with the ANZ. As we had got no details or receipts from Bravofly we assumed nothing had been processed. When we got our Visa statement it showed two deductions to Barvofly for $502.04. total being $1004.08. Could you please issue a refund as we received no evidence that a booking was made, flight details, or receipts had been issued due to the Card being Locked out.
Please communicate through email or phone my husband [protected]

Bravofly cancelled flights and no contact

Dear Bravo Flights,

This is a complaint in relation to booking number [protected]. On 28/08/17 we were due to fly out of San Francisco airport with Volaris Airlines around 10am however when we arrived at the airport and tried to check-in we were told that our flight had been cancelled. This appeared to have been a known fact for a while as the customer service team had emails that had been sent to bravofly but we had not been informed by either Bravo or Volaris, the attendants believed that the cancellation email would have been sent to Bravo rather than to us directly.

As we had paid full protection on our flights we attempted to call your Protection Department and there own one for an hour an a half but were unsuccessful in getting anywhere. After much persuasion and begging, one of the attendants took pity on us for being there since 6:30am and agreed to call their Protection Department on our behalf. Another hour and a half later we were able to secure a flight with AirMexico at 1:30pm. We both had to pay additional fees for our luggage which we also expect to be reimbursed for.

Furthermore, apparently you had also been notified that our return flight due on the 8th September had been changed to the 9th. We only found this out by checking with the airline. We cannot fly out on the 9th as we fly from San Francisco to Sydney on the 8th. More phone calls, more being told there was nothing that could do until we begged another Volaris staff member to help us out. First we were told we would have to have multiple stops just to get back to San Fran which wouldn't have left us enough time and we had also paid for a direct flight in the first place. After more anxious and frustrating waiting we have been apparently put on another flight by another airline. Again, none of this confirmed. We also imagine we will have to pay for our bags again which we had already paid for.

We paid for the extra insurance with Bravofly so expect this to be taken into consideration in your response. We are in Cuba at the moment and there is no way of us contacting you by phone hence this email.

To summarise this complaint is aimed at Bravo Flights for completely failing to notify us of this flight cancellation. This left us in a very complicated and highly anxious situation that was unnecessary.

Our future use and recommendation of Bravo Flights services is dependent on your response to this complaint. We have been loyal customers in the past so this has really upset us.

Thank you.

Hi Sofia, we appreciated this response whilst we were away (very difficult to get internet whilst we were in Cuba so didn't respond until we returned home). Unfortunately no one from Bravofly is responding to our emails which included our receipts for the baggage.

Here is the email that we sent on 11th September to your expenses email that was given to us:

Hi, we are finally back in Sydney so we are able to send photos of the baggage receipts we had to pay for the new flights. See attachments ($52 USD x 2) Please note these are in USD and $65.07 AUD is what came off my debit card for one of the flights.

We also need to let you know that we were given wrong updates from Bravofly twice 2 days before travel! Please see email of screenshots. Not only were we sent wrong dates (9th September which was a day later than booked and wouldn't have been able to make due to our return flight to Sydney on the 8th) but you also sent an email saying we were booked onto a Volaris flight (our original flight) on the 8th. We showed up at the airport and the flight didn't exist! We then ran to United Airlines to see if we were still on the flight that we had arduously organised ourselves. Luckily they said we were. However, we were put on standby and told we might not be able to fly! After even more begging, one of the ladies took pity on us and made sure we got on the flight. We should not have had to be dealing with this.

We look forward to your response regarding our expenses and compensation for what actually caused great stress and anxiety throughout our trip.

Thank you.

Bravofly bravofly insurance europ assistance

Europe assistance together with bravofly cheats their customers! Never travel with bravofly! Not even with insurance due to their policy;
You, as a passenger are surely insured to be cheated by them.
Because you never ever get your money back either of illness or any other reason.
The trick being used by them is the next:
Bravofly as a cheap flying company never pays your money back, it´s obvious.
However if their passenger wants to be sure, so bravofly refers to their insurance company. “europe assistance biztosítás lemondás”
To make a contract. Let´s say you do this. The price of insurance is: 17 euro/ person, price of fly ticket is: 140 euro/person.
In case of the travelling still fizzles out, you turn to the insurance company exclusively! In english! - asking what to do in order to get your money back.
They tell you about the repayment which is exclusively in case of illness. Nothing else is needed but the fly ticket’s number and the medical certificate.
If you believe in this you follow the instructions properly. Well, already here on that point you are cheated! They do not inform you properly,
Namely they do not tell you that first, - in good advance - you have to council your travelling at bravofly. With bravofly´s cancellation you have you turn to the insurance company. You missed to do this, so just on this reason they refuse the reimbursement. If you dare to complain about missing proper information so being cheated by the insurance company, they refer immediately to one of the 300 paragraphs somewhere on the net, saying one sentence of 300 pages you missed to read.
Sorry, it´s your bad luck.
That´s why I never recommend to anyone to fly with bravofly, because their insurance company cheats their customers!

Bravofly arrogant customer service

Didn't succeed in check in online through their website. So I arrive at the airport earlier than usual to check in. But it didn't work. The airlines' employees didn't help me either. I started panicking.
I called bravorfly cust. srv. before the check in time. They were absolutely unpolite and said it was my fault, that I did something wrong booking the tickets.
Because of them, I had to pay much more...
Stay away from this travel company.
