Very Disappointing Refund Experience After Years of Trust
I have been a regular customer of Flightcatchers for several years and usually travel at least three times per year. I have always booked my flights through them and did not have any major issues until March this year.
I paid over £2,400 for three passengers to travel to Sri Lanka, but unfortunately the flights were cancelled due to the Middle East situation. Flightcatchers advised me that my refund would be released within six weeks. However, four months have now passed, and I still have not received my money.
Each time I contacted Flightcatchers, I was told that they were waiting for the airline to release the funds. However, after contacting the airline directly, I was informed that the refund had already been released to Flightcatchers months ago. This has made me lose trust in the company, as it now appears that they have been holding my money.
Even as a regular customer, I do not feel that my case has been handled properly or fairly. I contacted them again this morning, and I was simply told that my refund is still in their refund department queue due to a high volume of cases. After waiting four months, this response is very disappointing.
I understand that refunds can sometimes take time, but keeping a customer’s money for this long, especially after the airline has already released it, is not acceptable. I am extremely disappointed with the way this has been handled and would expect Flightcatchers to process my refund immediately.
