Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

Trip.com charged me about USD 100 more than the official price for tickets and only offered USD 5 refund with no clear reason. Their pricing is misleading, and support gives generic excuses instead of real help.
NNPPCH
I booked an airport transfer service through this app. After I placed the order, the service provider assigned me the smallest car and claimed that my luggage exceeded its capacity. They then asked me to upgrade to a minivan and requested an additional payment to a private account.
Shsisn_LA
I spent over a week trying to deal with a name change (due to the app mistake) just for them to tell me I need to cancel the ticket less than 24 hours before the flight date affecting not just this flight but other flights too.
