cancelled flight and kiwi guarantee not approved, abandoned in colombia
I had bought 4 flights from kiwi.com to get me back to the uk, I got to the airport and spirit air had cancelled my 1st flight due to hurricane that had already passed orlando, and orlando was open, infact spirit had all ready flew a few flights out of orlando the day before my flight, and had flew one too bogota from orland, this was my trip but in reverse, ok so at the check in desk we was advised flight was canceled due to weather.. but then the pilots where in the que and I asked one of them, are we flying, he said, they are taking the plane back empty, because there are no crew, but this means its not directly the affect of the hurricane, and so does the fact that there was four other companys all leaving from bogota going to orlando on that same
morning, and all left on time. this indercates theres issues with manergment skills,
So first our options was to recive a refund, of 180dollars, even tho I paid 207 dollars for my fight, or fly instead of sep 5th, sep 15th, ok ten days later, then I have to concet and fly too the uk, and decide this right now, how was I meant to now cover a eu flight in ten days, prices are going to be crazy, all the way from south america, oh and if I wanted to accept the payment I was been charged airport fees, even tho I could of been then planning on not using the airport, and flying from any other city here, right, so basicly I was apaying the airport fees for the empty plane.. this is all spirit issues upto now
I had contacted kiwi to let them know my issues, all in time and even before id missed my conecting flights.. espically the one toeu, I had given them over 5 hours of notice..
kiwi was told it was due to bad weather even tho we was told in the airport it was the fact there was no crew.
so..
next day I went bck to the spirit office and told them about all the information on the flight leaving ect, they accepted that it was not direct the fault of bad weather, but the fact of no crew, due to the weather, and too me thats management skills, nothing to do with me or my garentee.. or weather
so they gave me a certificate, recipt saying that this was the case, issue of staff, iv sent it to kiwi.com and they are still holding onto the fact the hurricane was happing, but its been proven otherwise, they wont give me alternitive flights that iv paid 550 euros for and they have been extremly one sided, no help no advise, on the final call the supervisor in the philiphens hung up on me, very rude
iv spent hours trying to fix this, now im taking it to small claims or whater ever other option I am advised on from here
resalution would by to compansation for my loses, either by refund before flight had departed or to get me home on nxt available option
date happened 5th september 2019, flight number nk1922, I have full read kiwi term on garantee.. and I am fully in complience,
they need to submit my documentation, recipte from spirit air too spirit and the civil airport aurthority. civil airport aurthoritys accumpanyied me to the office and this is all on their records, at el dorado airport bogota colombia
terrible communication and flight booking
Kiwi.com booked me two flights to get home from Majorca to Stanstead. However they didn't realise the second flight was from a seperate airport in another country. I rang on the day to say what shall i do. Was advised to take an hour long taxi by the kiwi representative, who was apologetic it was a different airport. The cost of which was 173 euros. Now the say the fault lies entirely with me. They booked the flights they should have informed me it was a different airport. I feel I should be entitled to some compensation for the stress and hassle of having to go to another airport for my transfer flight . I was travelking with my young son at the time.

Booking on kiwi.com
This website is very UNRELIABLE!
The booking number of the flight that has been cancelled and refunded is [protected].
The booking number of the flights that I want to cancel due to the cancellation of the other connection is [protected].
Yesterday I have made two bookings one from Thessaloniki to Warsaw and from Warsaw to Berlin.
Four hours later I have received a message saying that they were not able to book the flight from Thessaloniki to Warsaw because it was SOLD OUT.
So obviously I did not need the flight from Warsaw to Berlin since I was not able to get there. So when I called and asked to cancel that booking I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PAY THE CANCELLATION FEE which was almost 50% of the price I have paid for the trip. Now I have receive another email saying that I have to pay actually the full amount of my reservation so no refund is possible!
I believe this is ridiculous since it was not my fault that I had to cancel that journey. It was simply a bad website system that does not tell you in real time if flights are available or not.
I will NEVER use kiwi.com again since I am looking to enjoy my holiday and not to put extra stress while doing it!
complaint
I recently booked a flight with easyJet airlines via kiwi.com which I payed through my visa debt card. my payment went through and it had asked me for all of my passport details which I submitted and got my booking reference. however Two hours later I got an email saying it couldn't process my flight as there was a technical issue. I called the customer service support number to query this. I was very confused as the money showed it had been taken out of my bank. Once I got through to them I spoke to a man which he told me that the reason it hadn't gone through was because there was a "technical issue" with the website and the flights were actually sold out but still showed up on the website and still allowed me to book! Firstly I am appalled that it actually let my payment go through when that was the case but secondly to then find out it can take up to 10 working days for me to get my money back? This is a absolute joke. The reason I booked this last minute flights was because I really needed to get to my destination ASAP. Okay I understand that there was a "technical issue" but to not refund my money straight away is an outrage. The 420 pounds spent on the flight was thr only money in my account and the flight was for tomorrow. Not only do I miss being able to fly out tomorrow I now have to wait for the money to reach my bank for me to organise myself another flight which probably won't happen until 10 working days. This is disgusting I have never experienced anything like this in my life. no one actually tried to resolve my issue and offer me alternatives as to what I could do! This service is a joke
Poor service
I am extremely annoyed by Last minute service. I paid for 2 tickets fro my mother in law and brother in law to go back to Chicago on 16th August via London Heathrow airport. Reference [protected]. Reservation: WPRYAV / WQEMK2; e-ticket: [protected] /[protected]. I drove my family on time for check in and all. At boarding, the two were denied entry after check in. The query was premised on the way the ticket was issued; that you only issued one ticket with 2 references, however, Sandra Elia Mubanga (according to Brussels Airline would only go as far as Brussels) Because the 2 are on the same ticket, they were both denied entry hence could not travel. I made several attempts to contact yourselves but only to speak to a recording; as well, my details that I used to book the tickets with, were not recognized (telephone said not to link with the booking reference number) .
I travelled all the way from Merseyside to drop my family at the airport. I lost money on parking, on fuel and refreshments. I travelled to and from Merseyside twice as I had to come back after the flight left without them. They were stranded at the airport for hours. No one was available to speak to me from your office. At 2236 hours, you sent email with boarding passes for Miami to Detroit but did not provide one for Brussels to Miami. The airlines queried this and said that Sandra Elia Mubanga's destination is Brussels. Hence they were left behind. Brussels said that the way you issued the e-tickets was not something they could split as they were no boarding passes for onward terminals.
I find this appalling that you failed to provide a service that I paid for. I am left counting costs. My mother in law and brother in law have lost out on wages as they are supposed to resume work on Sunday in Chicago. The amount of stress and anxiety that this has caused cannot be ignored! I want to know what you intend to do? I would like the trips rescheduled or refunded.
I paid for these tickets and demand answers
kiwi.com/refund claim
Flight (connecting flight) was booked through KIWI.COM.
Upon arrival to first destination, we learned that the scheduled flight out was cancelled by the airline over a month ago. KIWI failed to send cancellation notice email, phone call nor text. This experience resulted in spending £799.00 on another flight ticket plus extra expenses due to having to stay longer. Contacted KIWI, provided all the information needed to support my argument, their response is that my claim does not applies to their guarantee and that is up to the airline to decide, we have been waiting for this answer for two months now.
When contacted the airline (Interjet) who specifically said that their flight was cancelled over a month prior to the scheduled flight and booking company (KIWI) was supposed to notify all effected customers.
Unfortunately to late I have browsed the internet about KIWI and found out there are countless bad reviews and complaints about this company, stay away from them.
PEOPLE: STAY AWAY FROM BOOKING WITH KIWI.COM. They cost me over £800.00, a great deal of stress and financial loss.
booking number 70 001 866
Hi I just booked two tickets for myself Mr. Hamid Amiri and my daughter Ms. Yasmin Amiri to fly to Istanbul from Bristol.
when I was emailed the booking document, to my surprise I noticed that my daughter's name has also been put as Hamid Amiri, the other details were correct. I'm hundred percent that I put my daughter's name in the box as it's ridiculous to put two Hamid Amiri booking. I called your customer service and your colleague says I have to request a change of name and pay the extra fees for that.
my point is that I haven't changed any passenger to pay extra fees, the only mistake (either on my side or yours) is that the first name of my daughter has been added wrongly.
I am requesting a swift and fair response to my situation. Regards Hamid Amiri
Dear Mr. Amiri
You are not on your own with your complaint. Kiwi.com booking ref. [protected] and [protected] did exactly the same with my wife and I and changed her name to mine, I thought it was my mistake but maybe it was not? we had to cancel one person on one flight and book another flight also ( 2 flights at a cost of £330 ), the flight itinerary was then changed and we were left unable to book another flight and have only been offered 25 Euros as a refund. all I can say is " Daylight robbery" the company should be struck off.
Please share with everyone you know.

I reserved a plane ticket today and from the drop down menu I selected 23 instead of 28(birthdate) and when I requested the change they wanted me to pay 10 euros! That is ridiculous. Please help. Can it be modified earlier than 48 hrs? It is giving me anxiety.

flight delay caused miss my connecting flight
Hello Team,
It's really disheartening that due to delay in the flight timings I had to miss my connecting flight to Singapore.
Booking No - 66 028 908
Flight # SG 6287 scheduled departure time 00:15 from Mumbai to Chennai 02:15 got delayed. Flight took off at 2:00 and landed Chennai 3.45 domestic airport. It took 40 mins for me to reach terminal 4 that's my boarding point for flight # 6E51, scheduled departure was 4:30. It was highly possible to this flight as I need get boarding pass first then immigration check.
Since I missed this flight I had to book another flight at an cost of Rs 16042/- (INR).
Appreciate if I can get correct process to get this reimbursement done.
Regards, Sandeep Kasbe
train tickets (db)
We've brought tickets using your services. The respective invoice with details is attached.
When we arrived to the train station at Dortmund the DB staff insisted we pay for the ticket again.
This is totally unacceptable that we had to pay the double price for the tickets!
I would like to get back the money we had to pay for the train and verify whether the tickets for the bus we paid are valid.

we paid for a 23 kg checked in bag but it was not in the system at the airport
We payed for a ticket London-Berlin-Belgrade on 04Aug19 reservation number 39108861 with a 23kg checked in bag but when we wanted to check-in the bag at the airport they told us we didn't have this option paid. Please contact me at [protected]@gmail.com with the reason why this happened and how I can be compensated for this very unpleasant experience. This is the first time I am using your services and I hope it won't be the last.
Kind regards,

air travel
We booked our flight from Charlotte to Brussels to land 1 day prior to a music festival and we had a delayed flight with Spirit Air that rerouted us and cost us a day to relax after travel and got us to our destinations 2 hours before we needed to be at our destination. They told us they would give us $200 for a hotel which they alerted us of at midnight which kept us in the airline for more than 5 hours without information of where we could go. We ended up sleeping in the airline because of the incompetency. When they rebooked us they gave us seats that were spread out instead of giving us something we could sit next to each other, really [censored]ty when we're trying to have a honeymoon. We were fortunate to ask another passenger to switch a seat.
Our flight home was delayed, for no reason stated, by Vueling airlines by over 2 hrs. We called kiwi.com to rebook us a flight and they found us airfare that is rerouting us to two extra locations, and an entire day later. Our flight was going to have us travel all day Saturday and arrives Sunday a.m., now we will be arriving Monday p.m., roughly 36 hours later.
We have been told yet again we will receive information of a hotel within 2 to 4 hours, which again leaves us stranded at an airport not knowing how far we can go to try to enjoy being stranded in a country we were not planning to be in For anything other than a transfer. This experience has also cost us an extra day of car parking expenses at our final destinations airport.
We will never be using this service again and we will highly not recommend this to everybody we know.
Customer service seemed careless for our time and money. And lastly I have had to call my job and rearrange work which also has cost me income.
I've never been so stressed out flying and I hope this does not happen to other patrons in the future.
charged for contacting kiwi.com
I booked my flights with kiwi.com through skyscanner, I wish I had done it myself with all the hassle involved. I had great difficulty contacting them for my tickets and eventually managed to receive tickets through a compliant over the phone. However kiwi.com customer service did not specify that their main headquarters are in washington DC America and I live in the UK. There was no terms and conditions in place to say where they are located or rate per min. I am horrified as I was charged £49 to complain.
request reimbursement
Flight (connecting flight) was booked through KIWI.COM.
Upon arrival to first destination, we learned that the scheduled flight out was cancelled by the airlines more than 2 days ago. KIWI failed to send cancellation notice email of flight. This experience resulted in spending over $400 on hotel stay and miscellaneous. Contacted KIWI, provided all receipts to support my argument, here is the response I received by email from them:
"Unfortunately, after contacting the airline, we found out that no refund is available for your booking"
We called the airline (Turkish Airlines) who specifically said that their flight was cancelled 2 days prior to the scheduled flight and booking company (KIWI) was supposed to notify all effected customers.
When calling my credit card company (Capital One) and disputed the charge, the representative replied with: "Yes, we are dealing with KIWI refunds quite often, stay away from them".
PEOPLE: STAY AWAY FROM BOOKING WITH KIWI.COM. They cost me $400 and a lot more...
refund for baggage double payment
Hi,
I spent over an hour trying to explain
I received abuse and felt really ill treated. The inconvenience and embarrassment is unexplained.
Please find attached my second payment receipt of 48 euros for baggage to be checked in.
Please find attached receipt of original booking with baggage included.
I was told that there was a schedule change and my baggage was not added to the new schedule.
I would like a full refund for all purchases made.
Thanks
trying to make money out of vulnerable customers!
Hi my booking number is: 50 303 682 I was extremely confused as my e-ticket stated i can only take a 3kg bag 35x20x10 as a personal item in addition to the 20kg i had booked. I checked all 3 of the airlines we are flying with and Ryanair was the most strict in terms of dimensions of bags etc. despite this their non priority baggage allowance dimensions are 40x20x25! FAR GREATER than what it states on my e-ticket and in addition its more weight than what my e-ticket states 3kg! i spoke to your customer service agent last night at 20;31 and after a very long chat his words were more confusing and non at all making sense! He said that the reason for the 3kg was because of the most restricted airline but the most restricted airline is Ryanair and they allow non priority customers more weight and a bigger bag than mentioned on my e-ticket! your agents then advised I should look into priority booking, i asked him to send me an email of the charges. 20 minutes later I receive a call from your agent asking how many priority bookings I wanted... I was really annoyed as the information he had given me was INCORRECT! your agent informed me that Pegasus airline were really tight and they only allow 3kg with a very small bag! i found this very hard to believe as i had carried out my research prior to calling and also we travel more than 3/4 times a year so i knew what he was saying didnt add up! i told him right away that i didnt want the priority booking and this was a means of Kiwi making money from the vulnerability of customers! As soon as I began to say these things he immediately said oh mam I will check something for you and came back after a few minutes to say that the e-ticket had a technical hitch hence why the weight and dimensions of hand luggage were so restricted! I told your agent to email me an ACCURATE e-ticket and he said he will which as yet he clearly has not! I am absolutely DISGUSTED with Kiwi and wish I had not booked through yourselves. My family have also booked through you on the same date for 4 people by the name of Mirza. In the past I have booked through you and have often told my friends and family to book with you but not anymore! I will be taking this further and informing all frinds and family NEVER to book with you again! My husband works for a newspaper and I will definitely be speaking to him about the awful customer service I have received from Kiwi! Please send me my CORRECT e-ticket as soon as possible and it has been a DISGRACE to do business with you and this is definitely the last time!

asap. my flight is not improved
hi,
Two days ago I ordered 2 tickets to MYKONOS from TEL AVIV from 2/8 to 7/8 And haven't got any confirmation yet.
When I finished my order I received a message that my order was not confirmed and I was waiting for you to confirm it. I have not received confirmation and flight in six days. How will I know that the flight has been approved? What should I do?
Right now I don't know what to do because I already ordered a room at a very expensive hotel.
I'll appreciate if you let me know ASAP

When I rented a car from KIWI I payed for car rental plus insurance (183 pounds) but had to pay more when I picked it up or give 1440 euro insurance, 1440 euros would have blocked use on my card and the vacation just started
So I payed again 136+195, 63 euros there but had already payed to KIWI 183 POUNDS
Please check my photos and see if this is wrong or not
