Quotes of the week

Trip.com repeatedly misled and deceived me throughout the communication process, attempting to hide the truth and create unnecessary obstacles to prevent me from receiving the refund that rightfully belongs to me. This is not just poor service—it is outright fraud!

I booked a flight ticket for my sister, and upon checking in, the reference number was not found! We showed everything, even the receipts to the airline staff, still not found! My sister ended up not getting to that flight. We literally got scammed!

I travel every month and sometimes a few times a month. Used so many apps and I had to say hats down that trip.com is the best. Easy to maneuver, cost-efficient, many coupons and promo, customer service is prompt and immediate and most importantly, a peace of mind booking with trip.
