My brother in law booked the package for his wife and me to go for umrah. We were updated whilst we were in Saudi Arabia all the time via Whatsapp. Hotel imn Mecca was good but just over 1km to the hara. There were shuttle buses to take us to the Haram. The hotel in Medinah was two minutes away by foot. I would definitely use their services again. THANK YOU Times travel.

DISAPPOINTING AND UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICE
DISAPPOINTING AND UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICE
I booked a ticket with ALEXA TRAVEL UK (T/A TIMES TRAVEL LTD) in early December 2023. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I couldn’t travel and requested a cancellation and refund. Instead of offering any options, they told me a refund wasn’t possible — the only choice was to OPEN my ticket for use within 1 year. I was forced to pay £300 immediately on the same call, with the threat that if I didn’t pay right now then, I would lose the ticket. I was given no time to think and absolutely no alternative.
After around 10 months, when I contacted them to rebook, I was told I’d now need to pay even more, despite being promised earlier that I could rebook free of cost within a year. I even asked them to change it to any available date with no extra charges, but they still refused.
What’s worse is that I tried contacting them multiple times via calls and messages. They never responded. Every time I called, they either ignored or delayed it with no resolution at all. It became extremely frustrating and stressful. They simply kept delaying and avoiding.
I eventually reached out to the airline directly, who confirmed that airlines do not charge agents anything to OPEN a ticket, proving that the £300 they charged was pocketed by the agency itself. This was a clear scam.
The agent who booked my tickets initially made all these assurances, but none of them were honoured.
In total, I paid this agency £1,189 for two tickets, and an additional £300 for the so-called “OPEN” ticket, bringing the total to £1,489 for a trip I was never able to take.
Also, I’ve now discovered that ALEXA TRAVEL UK shares the same office address as TIMES TRAVEL LTD, which clearly shows it is one of their sub-brands. It’s shameful for such an old and reputed company to be involved in these kinds of unethical practices.
I am now taking legal action to recover my losses and hold them accountable.
The only reason I’m leaving this review is to make others aware so no one else goes through what I experienced. I strongly advise everyone to stay away from ALEXA TRAVEL UK and TIMES TRAVEL LTD. Their practices are dishonest, misleading, and abusive toward customers. Companies like this must be stopped from operating.
For clarity, after raising this case, TIMES TRAVEL LTD refunded the £300, admitting it was wrongly charged. However, the £1,189 I paid for the two tickets remains unresolved.
