Basically a scam. They claim you can save upto $1500 with 70,000 points but I have never been able to use the fixed pricing and had to use the flexible pricing which only gives 1% for your points. So on a Europe flight for $1700 after using 70000 points I still need to pay $1000.

Terrible customer service, they won’t solve it and make you spend more money
They gave me the wrong information regarding a name change and told me everything wrong. The next day I’m contacted saying everything I was told was wrong and that I now needed to camcel my flight which was $400 more expensive, no responsibility taken whatsoever. Very, very frustrating and incapable customer service.

Disrespectful agents and supervisors that will invalidate your situation
Beware - they will make up rules and invalidate your situation, and continually put you on hold. Whether there are inconsistencies with the itinerary you booked through them, extraordinary circumstances out of your control, etc. - don't expect the customer service to help.
When escalating to a supervisor, the excuses that they cannot do anything completely changed; interestingly the stories between the agents don't match up even if they had my file in front of them.
All in all, terrible experience, points, and irresponsible support agents with no professionalism with customer support. Expect them to gossip about you while you are on hold - they forgot to mute/roll in the hold music. Surprising how they are getting away of this when all their calls are recorded.

never answer the phone took extremely…
never answer the phone took extremely long to communicate with them. They put you on wait, and the wait is 2 hours, not joke.

This travel agency is the worst
This travel agency is the worst. They need to be reported to the FBI. They triple their prices and even to get someone to email you your ticket is a problem. They don’t call you back hoping you will get frustrated and loose your ticket after getting their payment from your credit card. They are scammers. I booked tickets for my family during Covid and since nobody can travel to London due to London lockdown at that time. They promised to give me credit. When it was time to use it after giving them my confirmation and reference number, they claimed that they cannot find my bookings. After getting so frustrated I had to book another flight with British air. The next time I needed to travel, I called them and they never responded. Finally I was able to speak to one Roger who is a scammer too but pretended to want to help me. He booked another flight for me but tripled the price and told me my credit was worth almost nothing. The ticket that is selling for $720, he increased to $1500 and with my credits, he booked the flight for over a thousand dollars. He made my chikdren’s tickets worthless. So I couldn’t get refunds for them and neither were they able to use their tickets because the prices they quoted was more expensive than the airline tickets. Been calling them to get my refund but they seldom pick up and when they do, they want to know if you’re going to buy a new ticket if not they transfer you to a random number or tell you someone will call you within 24 hours but of course nobody will call you back! They are crooks. I’m about to report them to better bussiness bureau. They need to be sued

Would rather stick pins in my eyes than deal with this lot
This company is beyond garbage, my return flight got canceled by BA in March due to a snowstorm. I received 2 emails from BA. 1st advising of the cancelation the 2nd offering me a flight late in the following week.
Now on the 30th of May they want me to contact BA and ask them to confirm WHY they canceled the flight.

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY EVER !!!
DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY EVER !!!!
TERRIBLY DISHONEST, UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNETHICAL COMPANY. Somehow Travel Avion intercepted my purchasing two tickets on the airline's webpage. While trying to process payment Travel Avion's agent came on and never identified himself. The price went up from the time I started purchasing till when he finished. When asked why, he just said it went up, PERIOD. At that time I didn't suspect anything. I received copies of my two tickets, seat selection and baggage cost and then realized it was from Travel Avion. I still was not too concerned as I checked with the airline to see if I had two valid tickets and I did but a couple days later when I still had not received a detailed invoice of who the flight insurance was with, nor policy number nor policy details, nor the cost, I called Travel Avion. When I called them I was told I would not receive a detailed invoice until after I flew. Unbelievable!!! Who ever heard of that when you have paid for a service in full! I then realized I was in serious trouble. I have asked many, many, many, many times for the name of the insurance company and they just do a song and dance. I phoned the airline and verified I did have two valid tickets and kept doing that. Our flight was cancelled because of Covid by the airline so then I started asking Travel Avion for a refund of my tickets. I have been asking for over 1 year. Over one (1) year and I haven't seen a dime !!!! My airline will definitely refund tickets because of Covid but if booked through a third party like Travel Avion then Travel Avion must request this refund. The airline will not refund directly to me. I have told Travel Avion this so many, many times. I gave them a copy of the airline's press release advising that the airline would refund tickets because of Covid. I gave Travel Avion a 1-800 help number from the airline in case they needed assistance with processing my return. It is like beating a dead horse as all they do is come back and tell me to request the refund from the airline or put in an insurance claim with my credit card. My credit card only covers Interruption not Cancellation. My credit card company also will not cancel payment because it has been too long. Because Travel Avion won't give me the name of the flight insurance company I paid for, then I can't go that route either. I am pretty sure they pocketed this money and no insurance company ever received my payment. If I email them, I send one to two dozen emails before they respond and if they do, they come back with things like "call and we will arrange your booking" or "please call us for help on this". Just one stall tactic after another. If I do manage to get through on the phone, the call gets disconnected. This has been a total nightmare. I am out almost $1,800.00 USA. This company needs to loose its licence. For the life of me, I don't understand how it is still in business when I read about 70 some absolutely bad reviews. Why has this operation not been shut done and all charged??? I have to give a 1 star to them because that is what is required by this site but if I could I would give a minus 20. The owner(s) and all employees need to be charged with theft and spend a long time in jail. It is unbelievable that there are people out there that are such scumbags!!! Absolutely deplorable humanbeings!!!
