Scam, Unscrupulous, Bait & Switch!
Scam, Unscrupulous, Bait & Switch! Booked a flight through FaresMojo for JetBlue flight. Printed the booking and it showed it being FaresMojo, but minutes after we booked, a call came in from Travel01 about the flight having restricted basic tickets, can't have a carryon, etc. I said we could pay the fee for the carryon at the airport and it will still be cheaper with this low airfare than other fares we saw. He said you can't even have a carryon with this ticket. For one, that's not how it works. It just doesn't include the carryon but can pay extra thru the airline. (Afterwards I remembered reading that JetBlue changed that in 9/2024 to allow all flights a free carryon, so he lied). He tried pushing me into a more expensive fare, I asked for the booking to be canceled. After persisting, he transferred me to the refund dept, where the guy had no intention of giving me a refund. He tried bullying me saying I knew what I was buying. When I said the site didn't show it was a basic fare, he said I should've known this is how sites work with low fares. No, that's not a given. We got angry with him and kept demanding a refund. He finally said he canceled it (because he likely could hear my husband on with our credit card company blocking the charge). They did still try repeatedly to put the charge through the next day, even though they supposedly canceled it. They harrassed us with numerous texts, emails and phone calls for the next couple of days. Brutal!
