IT was my worst experience ever. Please never go through them it will be Better to go direct to Airlines. Because of family emergency i had to book ticket with them. First i booked my wife and son one way ticket which was around $1600 i was never told that i was refundable even when i asked after two days i have to change itenary to return and booked for six people for round trip. i was tired of taking to them and 4 hours in conversation and over price they told me my card was declined, i told them i will call them back in in couple of hours. when i checked my account they already withdrew $2800 for my wife and son.For same flight and same seat they chager me $2800 after couple of hours of argument they told me they would return my money but will take 5 days and my wife had to leave in 2 days. long story short at the end i end up paying 4400 for one adult and infant. They are RIP OFF NEVER GO TO THEM. Very horrible and fustrated. I Might feel it was my mistake but that close dates i didnt have enough options.

I had a really bad experience with Alanita travels and I wouldn't recommend them to my friends and family. They are not reliable & transparent at all. They are cheaters. Until you make the reservation through them, they are all very friendly and try to be very helpful. After that they try their best to scam you and take additional money from you. They hide many things from you during the booking. They won't tell you the ticket they are booking whether it's refundable or nonrefundable. For instance, I had to reschedule my ticket that they booked through UA. When I reached out to UA they said it's through some agent and they won't be able to provide any information. So when I reached out to the Alanita representative, the person was very rude and not helpful. On top of that they mentioned tickets are nonrefundable , but they said they will help with rescheduling and I have to pay the fare differences. When I compare the ticket price on the UA website , it's comparatively low what the agency is asking to pay. When I tried to further explain my case, the representative was rude and hung up. I generally don't write the reviews in google, but the experience was so bad as well as reading other reviews in google confirms the same. I want to make sure others don't have an impact like me and hence I wanted to drop this note. Please suggest if there is any way I can file a fraud case against them.

I bought air tickets (emirates airline) through an agent from alanita travels, due to personal emergency I had to cancel the tickets, I called them and enquired the process, they asked to me pay penalty of $750 for cancellation through zelle transfer which I have sent them by Zelle, then agent mentioned that you will get entire refund from airlne of $2727.04 in two weeks of timeframe, in 2 weeks airline refunded partial amount and deducted another $600 from $2727.04, have been trying to reach out to Alanita travel through email and phone, they don't respond to any email I have sent them multiple times to get my refund, over the phone they just take my phone number and say an agent will call you back but nobody calls me back. they are so customer unfriendly that after selling tickets don't bother to listen customer, no response in email or taking over the phone, for selling tickets, getting money they will follow up multiple times in a daybut later they don't even talk to customer. they have charged the cancellation penalty to me but nothing paid to airline so airline charged me again, since these tickets are booked from Alanita travel , airline doesn't want to entertain me directly. now for two tickets, they have charged me $750 (Alanita travel) $600 (Emirates airline) which is almost 50% 0f my ticket expense. when I was checking on emirates site , in no situation they charge 50% of cancellation, also to add that tickets were cancelled on 23rd Nov. 2022 in afternoon, well in advance of travel plan ( 29th Nov. 2022 at 10:30 PM EST). I need my refund of $750 as ticket cancellation charges $600 already deducted by airline, I also believe Alanita travel is asking customers to pay through zelle so somewhere they are manipulating of taxes as well. it's kind of scam of charging double for ticket cancellation and not paying proper taxes to IRS.

It is worthless service. Agents are like dropped out from 10th standard. The agent are zero knweldge and even not dare to talk with Airlines whne there are changes happened to my intermarry when I contacted the airlines regarding the cahnges , they told it has to be done through the travel agency. In bad situation. When I called the agency again they behave like they don't know and not even taking care of customer. Don't go with tme

Can’t get worse than this . Bunch of liars who will give you wrong information just to sell you tickets and then vanish away !!!!!

very bad and terrible experience with Alanita.Will never Recemmend them to any one. Office in Frisco (by Eldorado and Independence Pkwy) has limited ability and relies completely on remote office staff for all and any action. Remote staff is irresponsive and do not take responsibiliy or stick to what they promise to the customer.

Frauds. I booked a ticket for an international trip. When I rescheduled, they told me to pay the fare difference in Zelle. I paid. After few days, the airlines cancelled the flight. Alanita agents sent an email that the money would be refunded in full. However, they refunded partial amount. The money paid through Zelle has not been refunded yet. Every day, an agent is giving a different story. Run by Indians. Still, they haven't refunded the money paid through Zelle. Beware of these day robbers.

Last year's summer visit to Bengaluru resulted in cancelation of return flight (August) and AlAnita did not inform us about flight cancelation. We found out 24 before flight while trying online check-in. Calling AlAnita was futile, useless and waste of time.for 2 days. Had to make my own arrangements to return back to US. Horrible customer services from AlAnita.
