GoToGate
Reviews and Complaints

Try to get a refund for a flight that I have to change - called someone at Gotogate and the assistant asked me to buy a new flight and then get the refund for the one I dont need. After done that in OCTOBER and keep calling the company and speak to at least 12 people so far and every single time asking me for 72 hours, 48 hours, 24 hours depending on who you speak to.

They dont help with anything, dont call you back, dont sort it out your problem - HELP from this company = ZERO

NEARLY 2 MONTHS LATER AND STILL WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SORT IT OUT

Very unhelpful and not accommodating, my flights were cancelled and I was notified through an email from them with further options and they'll assist me with that. It said I can choose either an open ticket or refund. So I called them to talk about it and they told me no to both of those. Then he pushed the problem back on to me and refused to help me any further. So no solution came from that. Definitely wouldn't have spent my money with this company if I had known beforehand. And definitely telling others to never use this travel agent.

Good morning

Hope you are well and find my email in good health...

My wife purchased a round trip air fare from Montreal to Vancouver on Flair Airlines via GoToGate and paid extra for checked luggage. We have the travel documentation and the receipt issued by GoToGate to prove it. However, GoToGate never remitted the funds to Flair Airlines for the checked baggage for the return leg of the itinerary. My wife discovered this as she tried to check in today, the day before the flight. Flair Airlines said that it wasn't their problem and that we had to purchase the checked baggage again directly from Flair. We attempted to get through to GoToGate but the only way to do that is by phone, there is no other way as their web site states clearly that they will not respond to any other form of communication. After waiting for 3 hours on the phone, it became evident that no human would answer. We got scammed by GoToGate and are out of pocket $75.

My name is Chiara Max and my boyfriend is Oscar Ruben Clarke.

We booked tickets from Sydney to Montreal through the website Gotogate. The flight was on the 28/10/2021 and the return ticket was for the 24/02/2022.

The flights were the following -

To go :
Sydney-Tokyo NH880 (with ANA)
Tokyo-Vancouver AC4 (with Air Canada)
Vancouver-Montreal AC306 (with Air Canada)

To return :
Montreal-Tokyo AC5 (with Air Canada)
Tokyo-Sydney NH879 (with ANA)

We were unable to take the flights as the layover in Japan required a quarantine and therefore the itinerary was impossible to take. We have contacted Gotogate for a refund a few days before the flight, but we have yet to receive an answer. We have tried to ask for an update on the phone and via email, but they simply tell us that they do not have further information than "they are waiting for the airline companies".

They advised us that the airline companies would give them an answer within 5-6 business days, but 1 month later, we are left without any information or update.

We decided to call the airline company to try and have any information and they confirmed that they never received a refund request for our files from Gotogate. So we proceeded to call Gotogate again and they told us that no refund request had been sent out. On top of this, after being on hold for close to 5 hours, all the agents that had the authority to ask for a refund had left, so we did not receive any service at all.

My e-ticket number was : 205-[protected]-34 (booking number : 52YSJ6) and my boyfriend's : 205-[protected]-36 (booking number : 533STU).

We would like for the refund process to be sped up considering the amount of money and the time we have already lost.

I booked a round-trip flight for myself and three children flying out of Tokyo and landing in Guam months ago. On 22 November I got an email from them saying my return flight from Guam to Tokyo on 4 January 2022 has been canceled that I needed to contact them. Every email was very confusing, each email said my flight on the return has been canceled but also said it had been rescheduled but also said contact them for a refund. I went back-and-forth with them for seven days until this morning, 18 days before we are supposed to leave the country, I get an email that my entire round trip flight has been canceled. Identifier is LACBAF. I was supposed to be flying out on all Nippon Airways. Go to gate continues to blame the airline will not call me and I cannot get a hold of them on the phone. They also just stated in their last email that it would take longer than anticipated to get a refund from the airline for them to give me my thousands of dollars back that I paid for these round-trip tickets.

cancelled my flight for no reason, instead of trying to help me find an alternate flight, and charged me an 'administrative fee' and did not even process my refund. Told me to go on their website and make a brand new booking instead! their customer service is a joke
Phone service is completely unreliable, I got disconnected like 5 times and they never called back, had to wait in the queue every time and they completely refused to do anything of help.

i booked ticket on trz to kul unfortunately i cancelled by ticket i contact and informed to gotogate they cancel my ticket they said airline charge MYR274 and his handling Charge MYR 300 my ticket money is MYR 770 whats going on why they cut maximum money

I bought round trips to Nicaragua during summer with Gotogate - first of all, the price was WAY more than what it would be if you buy from actual airlines. I had to get it through them since the airlines had no more flights I needed. I did the Covid PCR test, got to the airport hours earlier to not leave anything to chance and the airline did not let me board - THEY SAID GOTOGATE HAD NOT "ACTIVATED" my name on the flight (what that means, months later I do not know). The airline Avianca told me that I should call Gotogate and see what's happening - so I called their customer serice (which is mainly in other countries) and spent HOURS waiting for someone to pick up. By then, I had missed my flight. When they picked up, they had no idea of what was going on and offered no help. Literally none. I have since called at least 20 times, asked for a refund, or even a simple explanation. Every time I called, a different rep would give me a bulli[censored] reason just to say something because I would not let them off the phone without an answer. They said that it was 1 because I didn't do the PCR Covid test (BUT I DID! I showed them the email confirming and showing how they even confirmed that they had received my results), then they said it was for X reason. I debunked them again. Then Y reason. After a while they admitted to not knowing what happened BUT WOULD NOT REFUND ME. I had to call Chase and request a refund for scam - which Chase understood. I would even personally send proof of all of this for whoever on the internet wants to reach out to me to show you the situation if it means that Gotogate never gets another customer again. I now know other people that had other problems with them since I've been spreading the word about my awful experience. Stay away!

I have a booking with order LCPPRR which I want to cancel. I am calling international call to UK from Bahrain. Every time I call I am passed to different person/department and end up calling for 50+ minutes and have spent at least 100 GBP.
Two days before I explained the urgency and asked the person to respond on urgent basis. So far I havent received any email or information.
I request u to lookm into this on urgent basis and respond. My contact number is +[protected]
I am seriously thinking of never to book via Gotogate now if this is the way we are treated.

I booked a flight by Sri Lankan airlines for Dubai from Chennai via Colombo using Gotogate for 17 th November. I was later informed by the Srilankan airlines that Indians are not allowed to travel to Dubai via Colombo due to some agreement due to COVID 19. Therefore I requested gotogate for a full refund for which they have been constantly neglecting to provide a proper solution. Each and every call with the customer care agent is a headache where each person says a totally different story. I however did manage to talk to Srilankan airlines and got a positive reply from them stating that a full refund is possible for booking W2NM29, however the gotogate has been constantly avoiding my calls and only seeking a way to end the call rather than to provide a solution. It has been more than 10-15 days and I am still following on the same with the Srilankan airlines and gotogate. There is only 2 more days and they are no where near to providing me with a full refund. I sincerely regret using gotogate and would never recommend it to anyone in the future. They have a horrible customer service and have no respect for their customers and zero respect for their time and hard earned money. Even after the Srilankan airlines have accepted to provide a full refund they do not want to proceed with the same.

Confirmation order no. LE481S, booking ref. WAKZTM, WARUO8.

I was rejected by emirates airlines check - in counter due to my connections to singapore and Kuala Lumpur was not accepted in their system.

I would like to ask you to rebook my ticket or refund the price.

I will appreciate your quick response.

Dear Gotogate, my registered email is [protected]@gmail.com, i have booked flight for CCJ to SHJ for 26th oct-2021 booked on 23rd Oct-2021, i have not received any tickets but amount has been deducted from my accounts, could you please refund my amount as soon as possible

The issue that I have experienced was: Flight from Cochin to Vancouver, CA booked for my wife NEETHI SATISHon 24th April 2021 was cancelled by Airlines due to the travel restrictions imposed by Canada Govt. After continues follow up with AirInda, they have refunded full amount (INR 126000+) to gotogate and sent an email confirmation to me on 22 Aug, 2021.
I informed the same to gotogate customer care associate and they are still saying the amount is not received from AirIndia. When I check their portal also, it shows wrong information that the amount is still pending with AirIndia. I called them so many times and still they are not refunding the amount.
Their customer care associates are not providing their India office address also for sending a postal complaint to them. I suspect it is a scam since they asking to wait everytime I call their customer care number . Please do the needful.

It occurred on: 24/04/2021

This meant that Since I paid a huge amount for this ticket using my credit card and I have paid a huge amount as interest for last 6 months.

Since the full amount was refunded by airline to gotogate, I want you to pay the full refund to my account at the earliest with interest in the delayed period for the financial and mental agony I suffered.

I booked a flight ticket through your portal order number LBQ5LA. which cancelled on a next day.

Now i tried for the refund request, but unable to get your email id and wrong number is available on your site as a indian contact.

Kindly help me to share email where i put a request for refund.

Thanks

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have tried to look up the status of my refund on your website but it is not finding the Booking number. My email address is [protected]@me.com. The booking reference is KHERPO. The eTrackNr is [protected]. I have sent an email to which the company replied in Spanish in a few minutes. The reply basically says that more than six days since I contacted you and considers the consultation complete. This is insane.
My email was asking about the status of my refund since months have now passed and a friend who booked the exact same trip from another company has received the refund.
Since I cannot find the booking number on your website, my only option is to contact you. Two photos 1. My letter to the company, and 2. The company's reply saying that I am being ignored, are attached.

Flight dated July 2020 was cancelled by airline due to COVID and still not refunded! Its been over 14 months and still not refunded!

Hello!

In February 2020 I purchased a plane ticket from Copenhagen-Faroe Islands and return, flight operated by SAS airline. I bought the ticket through the intermediate company Gotogate.

Due to the pandemic, my flight has been canceled. I had to call customer services to apply for a refund. A few months later, on 26th of November 2020, I've received the refund but only for one of the flights (Copenhagen - Faroe Islands).

I called again and the operator told me that I should've applied for a separate refund for the return flight. So I did that then (last year). I've got some updates ever since, and the last one was on the 25th of February 2021, telling me that SAS has approved my refund.

But since then, Gotogate did not send me any refund. I wrote them constantly, but they keep saying that it takes more time than normal due to the pandemic situation. I think that from February until now, it's beyond any excuse for a delay.

Please help me solve this! Gotogate is scamming a lot of people and it is not fair.

Thank you!
Bianca

for their pathetic service. In the past few months I had written several mails to them and even called at there customer care number.

We had booked AIR CANADA flights from London to Vancouver via GOTOGATE. When we reached uk, the Canadian government closed it's border for tourist due to covid. There were total 5 passangers. Later on My mother-in-law was able to take the flight because she was a Canadian citizen. Rest 4 tickets were not used since we couldn't travel on tourist visas. We immediately contacted gotogate team & air canada.

Gotogate team told us over the phone that our ticket have been converted to open tickets. Now after waiting for several months we have requested for a refund but gotogate team said that we have to contact air Canada for a refunds.

When we called Air Canada team they told us to contact gotogate for refunds and they cannot do anything.

During this pandemic everyone is suffering a lot, wheather it's physical, mental or financial issues. As human we should not complicat3 things further for others. We want our money to be refunded or vouchers to be issued. We are just writting mails and calling the customer care number but no action has been taken. It's pathetic. Air Canada told us that they can't help. Gotogate team is so confused that they are not replying & when they do, they don't check there records and told us that the refund has been issued but we received a refund for the gulf airways flight from Delhi to London but what about our uk to canada flight? There were 4 unused tickets.

Shameless and pathetic response.
