When I booked through the EXPEDIA site …
When I booked through the EXPEDIA site it quoted AUD (Sunday evening)- and at the time of booking I had my partner check the screen particularaly as he was making sure that the cost covered bag allowance etc. It was not until I checked on the Monday it had gone through my bank that I noticed a difference in pricing. I have paid $3205 through the bank for the amount of $2325 quoted in AUD on the site. I am out of pocket $880 for the flights (booked for myself and 3 friends) to Bali. The online flights for Bali are around $640 each airlines and I have been chasrged over $800.00 I have tried through the automated system of complaints resolution to no avail. I have also tried the automated complaints system direct to the air line and again no luck. They quote that the website is a US website so consequently the exchange of rate BUT it did not show on the screen at time of booking and I have actually gone back on a followed through a re-book process and again no indication that the AUD price quoted was going to be re-calculated through a US dollar exchange. I am out of pocket because I cannot expect my friends to pay the difference - what was supposed to be a cheap holiday has now become a costly one.
