I have purchased my ticket with (gotogate) through sky scanner website, I have missed my going flight (the first part) of the ticket on the 14th of march 2019, and since that day I am trying desperately to reach gotogate to help me, and they are doing nothing but asking me for more money or even ignoring my calls or emails, I had payed almost 150 $ international calls on them... Only keeping me on hold, they asked me for more money (penalty) to open my return flight status to be able to travel (attached the payment receipt) and nothing was done but giving me more stress and panic, they told me after the payment that it was opened! And after I went to the airport on time to catch my flight... The airlines told me that they did nothing and they should rebook me another flight which they didn't,... When I called gotogate they kept claiming that the airlines should do this.. While I was in the airport. And the airlines were confirming positively that they can absolutely do nothing cause all the control on the agent's side and my ticket is not valid to travel (please check the attached chat with emirates airlines), I was so torn between them both everyone is putting blames on the other and each calming not responsibility! So I was not not sure who's responsibility was it? I got so crazy stressed and panic at the airport from all of this, my trip was full of worries and stress all the time, it was a nightmare! And as I was contacting them and the airlines all the time nobody did anything for me! Which was more disappointing, I had to pay more money for another ticket to return to my country after gotogate agent told my brother on the phone that they will give me the money for the ticket back! And now after we had this deal they send me an email that I should write a claim.. And in another meaning they are ignoring my right to have the money back! I don't understand how could you deal with such a company like this, I sent them like 6 emails now since I got back on the 25th of march! And never heard from them again... They don't reply my emails since, and accordingly they will not give my money back! I think it's hurting your reputation a respectable company like sky scanner with this great history to deall with this company? That was so unacceptable for me, I would kindly request an answer, I trusted your website and therefore trusted this company, how could you deal with such untrustworthy companies like this. Please I need a solution for my case and I need my money back! This is not acceptable for me! I payed lots of money, I payed the ticket price twice! And I was not able to use anything! And I got zero service with lots of stress and worries, I hope you get back to me very soon and find a way out to get my money back and have a proper compensation for all the damages that was caused for me.

Please reply me back on my email ([protected]@hotmail.com)
Thanks & best regards,

Last Friday, I reserved a flight for me and my husband on GoToGate site and received by email the confirmation with the reference nr. PQYTHY and the amount of 1602, 99 € was taken out of my bank account. Some hours later, I received an email from them informing that due to "technical reasons" my reserve was cancelled and that I would be reimbursed immediately. Three days after, I have not yet the money on my account. I have already informed the bank that this was a scam and that they should sue GoToGate for fraud. Ihave already sent three messages without any answer from GoToGate. I informed them if within 6 hours I'm not reimbursed I will complain of this scam to the police and I am going to divulge in all possible sites the type of company they are.

Good morning,

My name is Alain Ménargues, I am a French citizen, and I bought on the 25th of December 2018 a business two ways ticket on Uzbekistan Airways : Bangkok-Tachkent-Paris, Paris-Tashkent-Bangkok.

I bought the ticket on line, reference UMCYFT, going to Paris on January 25th 2019 and coming back on February 12 2019 and paid to Gotogate an amount of 1990, 70 USD dollars, debited on my account the same day.

On January 20 2019, I received an email from Gotogate informing me that the airline has cancelled the flight, that Gotogate has cancelled my booking and that Gotogate is going to give me full refund for the whole ticket on my credit card, the refunding process taking 2-3 weeks.

After one month, as nothing has been refunded, I send back an email to Gotogate. "You should wait" was the answer.

I send back another email one month later, and then again recently but getting always the same answer : we have escalated your concern to the relevant department, we request you to wait more.

Since I have been waiting for more than three months now, I called yesterday your customer service twice. Every time, I had somebody to listen and to tell me he/she is going to put me through the relevant department. I've waited for 30 minutes every time, while calling from abroad, but nobody answered.

This is becoming disrespectful and doubtful. Why aren't you refunding my money after three months and a half ? How long should I have to wait ?

I am expecting an answer as soon as possible please. Starting to think to get an attorney to handle this matter.

Hoping Gotogate will stick to its reputation and refund people who paid for nothing.

Thank you for your prompt response,
Alain Menargues

I have booked tickets to windhoek and back as a presenter of a course. Air Namibia changed flight times. I communicated to them andcthey were willing to send my agent a notice for 100% refund. I had to arrange it with Gotogate, but the order was sent by the airline on my gotogate booking.
I held on tor 50 min, 45 min and then 80 min on my cellphone for assistance. Still nothing! In a week I have send kore than 5emails. Replies were not honoured or gave me a dat of reply long after flight drpartures? There is no service at all! It is ridiculous. They want one to give up and loose 100% of the money

I have booked two round trip tickets from gotogate from hk to toronto (via shanghai) for me and my son on 30 jun 2018. We arrived the airport 45mins before departure on 18 july 2018 but the gate has been closed.

Airline told me they can put us on the next flight to shanghai without any charge but later realised my ticket was purchased through agent and all changes must go through agent.

So I called gotogate before the departure time for flight change. The staff told me he has changed the ticket status and "authorised" airline so airline could change it beacuse agent claimed they are not able to make any change.

I called airline again and found out it was a lie. Then I called gotogate to clarify and they insist they cannot change my flight. I told the staff to wait and do conference call with airline.

When I was calling airline and put gotogate on hold, gotogate hung up. Later airline waited on the line for me to call gotogate again.

Finally when we were all on conference. Gotogate said they can change ticket with a fee. After airline drop the line, gotogate kept saying the fee would be very expensive and asked me to purchase a new ticket.

For the whole time, I was hopeful that tickets could be changed but after multiple calls the departure time of my original flight and the next connecting flight to shanghai has been missed. If gotogate has not misformed me since my first call I could have changed the ticket before the original departure time and caught my flight from shanghai to toronto!

Gotogate first quote the fee for exchange / refund (same cost) was hkd8000+handling hkd750 per ticket for no show which I did not agree.

I had purchased new tickets to continue my trip, so I had time to check with airline before I get back to gotogate.

It was then airline confirmed that change before flight departure is only hkd1600 and after departure is only hkd2400. Only either one will be charged.

I called gotogate to enquire the fee details again and the staff told me the previous staff has misquote the fee, it should be hkd4000 + handling fee, when demended a breakdown, he claimed both no show and exchange fees must be charged and it is demanded by airline and if airline advised me differently, they need airline to add remarks on my ticket to state it.

Airline staff told me that they are cs only and cannot add remarks to my ticket. I emailed airline client care but they were not able to help as tickets were purchased through agent. Finally, airline refund service confirmed that my tickets are refundable with hkd2400 fee and happy to refund the difference if gotogate are returning less to me because (according to gotogate) airline has charged them both fees.

It had been extremely frustrating dealing with gotogate cs who did not want to help or resolve anything!

I thought that was it and finally refund both tickets.

The refund of my own ticket (booking number lqcfmd) was requested on 15 jan. Refund confirmation has been received on 28 feb, stating that the payment should reach my account with 3-5 business days.

Since early march, my enquiry of refund payment status has been going circle. When I demand for transaction record gotogate simply said they provided no such thing and asked me to check with the bank, without any reference number. As of today (27 mar 2019), the payment has not arrived and gotogate has asked me to check with the bank and wait because it "will arrive anytime".

The refund of my son's ticket (booking number ls468i) was requested on 15 jan. Refund confirmation has not been received!

Multiple emails has been sent but gotogate kept saying it has already been refund to me. This time, without actual refund, bank slip, even refund confirmation stating the amount of refund.

Moreover, I have informed airline re my ticket and airline has paid me the difference (approxhkd1438) and sent me a refund receipt within 5 days.

Although the payment has been already returned to the credit card gotogate used to purchase my ticket through airline (ends with 7794 as listed on air canada refund receipt and purchase record)

It is not the same credit card account I used to purchase my ticket through gotogate (visa card ends with 1409).

Airline advised some agents used their own card to purchase ticket and they can only refund to that card. I have raised another case to gotogate for extension.

The order number is KTTV9Q. The passenger needed to cancel the ticket for the return flight due to the urgent bacterial infection. She booked the flight back to Hong Kong this Thursday for the treatment. Because it is a urgent matter, I am not happy that the airline put a large cancellation fee which put the financial stress for us. I would like you to speak to the airline company to see whether they can cancel the fee and give me the refund asap.

Hi, I have bought a tickets flight from Tel Aviv to Barcelona and back. Confirmation no. KUBRT0. I have paid 44 € for a bag. For the first flight with Arkia, the ticket was including 20Kg bag so I didn't need to pay. And from Barcelona to Tel Aviv the flying company didn't receive the money so I needed to pay Extra 80 € for the bag. I want a refund for the 22€ I have paid for the bag from Tel Aviv And for the 80€ from Barcelona to Tel Aviv total 102€

Booking ref r7ely3 I'm going to keep messaging you until you actually accept the fact that you have not fulfilled your part of the contract we entered into when you said you would sort out the flights with Turkish airlines. 
I had to do the leg work, not you. If I had left it to you it would NOT have been resolved. My husband and I had to drive 140mile round trip to go to Turkish airlines desk to get the issue resolved because your staff said Turkish airlines weren't being helpful and were taking their time. Please explain to me then how when we went to the actual desk, they changed the flights for us without hesitation and were dumbfounded at your actual inability to provide a decent customer service. Please refund me my £19.99 now

Hello.
My name is Laypsker Irina. The order was made on my father's name Ishay Goziket +[protected]
On February 27 2019, I tried to book a ticket from Tel Aviv to Moscow.
When I proved the payment, I received a massage that something went wrong and I have to try again, what I did. Then I found out, that you sent me 2 conformations, and I had to pay twice.
I immediately called to the customer service, and talked with Mr Sagar.
He told me that I have to pay a cancellation fee of 200 shekels. I don't understand why I should do this if it wasn't my fault. I did what the website asked me to. I didn't order another ticket.
I often used your website before and was pleased with it.
I ask you to check my situation and refund me the cancellation fee.
The nomber of the order is : KU3XIM

Thank you.

To whom it may concern
 
On the (15.2.19 at 20:30 pm) I made a flying ticket booking on Go Togate, FROM Tel Aviv to Budapest using Wizz airlines
 
During the purchase process your site stuck and I didn't get the confirmation as a result a duplicate booking was made.
After immediately talking to GoTogate center on the phone I was advised to approach Wizz airlines, and Indeed they saw that this was an error and provided a full refund with NO cancellation fee.
 
I want to make sure I will see this full refund with no cancellation fee to my account, as you see this was an error, and Wizz airlines acknowledged this as such immediately.
I talked to Gotogate representative that said that even that Wizz made a full refund I will have to pay a cancellation fee, even though this was clearly an error, and Wizz air acknowledged it.
This request to pay cancellation fee even though this was clearly an error on in the confirmation process is totally unacceptable and even in your cancellation terms and conditions it is mentioned (see ‪1.1 till 1.3‬ on https://www.gotogate.co.il/terms-conditions)
 
For reference:
Order fully cancelled by Wizz: confirmation number (canceled) : KTTS8W
Flight order (canceled) to budapest: w4tqye
Flight order : (canceled) to tel aviv : zgsq2x

Waiting for your soon response

This refers to the online ticket booking made through the website GoToGate. My Father-in-law was hospitalized and I had to rush to India the very next day.
The online booking system prompted to book luggage with two options-
1) no baggage
2) 12kg luggage including the carry on
As I had to travel with some luggage, I purchased the 12kg option (only option presented). Upon reaching the checkin counter, I came to know that the airlines offered a allowance of 25+7+3 kg of luggage included in their ticket fare and that there was no reason for extra payment

Booking Ref:RS734V, OONFCP The malindo airline has a free baggage allowance of 25kg plus 7kg carryon, however, , I have been wrongly charged $60 ($30 plus $30)towards 12 kg of luggage allowance each way. Please refund me the amount charged.

The company GoToGate has responded that they cannot repay.
This is a clear case of payment charged for no service.

There at first was an issue with payment from my end so 2 times payment was unsuccessful I contact Gotogate they advised contact my bank which I did so so far all was okay, they kept that record of the call after that all fun begins as we sorted bank and payment finally went true, but as it was pending at Gotogate agency they cancelled our tickets and done refund worst part that they have done refund in 2 parts and of course there are no longer tickets available for the same price as we got them in first place.
I spoke with Manager whose name was Justin T. as nothing more than that they were unable to tell
