Don’t use aggregators like Hotwire or Expedia to book travels. When things go wrong, neither side is going to take responsibility and you don’t want to deal with these things on your vacation. Tc 300k I will go over a specific example that happened to me. I booked a flight and the return flight I thought I selected December 26, but on Hotwire.com, the itinerary said December 27th, but same time. I have a neurological disease, so mis clicking is not uncommon. I show up on the 27th and it turns out it was the 26, just that Hotwire shows the wrong date ( still does ). The airline said you didn’t book it through us, so we are not going to consider helping you one iota, get fucked. Hotwire said that it’s my fault because I didn’t check the confirmation email it’s my fault and they won’t reimburse me anything. To me, confirming the flight was checking on Hotwire and checking the airline for the flight date and delays. Unfortunately the same flight in both days so it didn’t uncover Hotwire’s error
Blackpink in your area?
100% agree, I got burned recently with Hotels.com and it nearly ruined my vacation.. much better to pay a bit more but deal with none of the back and forth.
I book directly with the hotel, instead of paying more I get a 10-15% discount. Just tell them that you see a price on Hotels.com for those dates and can you please give me a 10% discount since you won't be paying them any commissions if I book directly with you. Most hotels would give you a 10% discount because they are still getting more than what they will get if you booked via Hotels.com.
This is 100% valid advice !!
If your ticket itinerary says wrong date, then hotwire has to reimburse. If you booked using a credit card, then just dispute the transaction. And let your bank fight with hotwire
Did you not check the return date of the airline on their website?
Chase travel burned us too
I only ever use Google Flights. I was told when I worked at Google that it’s not actually ad supported at all. Also google bought the company that supplies flight data to most of the other travel sites.
