Customer Service, Cancellation & Refunds issue

My flight was denied landing and when tried to contact Budgetair received no response whereas when tried reaching out the Airline they said the refund has already been processed. No contact available to get an update on the refunds process and the website as well doesn't work when trying to search for the same.

Hello Sajal,

Thank you for bringing your review to our attention.

Unscheduled flight disruptions and last-minute schedule changes are managed directly by the operating airlines, so such real-time operational events fall outside direct agency control.

To check the exact status of the refund and provide a complete update, please reply directly to the latest email received from customer support.

Kind regards,
Leo

I liked the ease but did not know for sure if it was the correct cabin and also had to pay for premium economy seats

I liked the ease but we were given the option through Booking.com and had the lowest fare.We booked premium economy but as I went to make payment , it did not show the prem economy booking on the details ,so I was hesitant and booked again just to be sure. Also, I did not like the fact that I had to pay for seats when it was premium economy and other websites do not as for extra payment when booking in premium economy or business .

Hello Helen,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Seat availability, included options, and seat assignment fees are governed directly by the operating airlines, which means those rules are outside the travel agency's control.

To look into the reservation details and ensure everything is set up correctly with the booking, an email will be sent from customer support.

Kind regards,
Leo

about 26 dollars cheaper

about 26 dollars cheaper, easy to follow the booking process, too many offers for unnecessary extras though and not sure about the additional change fees if needing to change flight without added protection, but overall good process and easy to search for flights. Checking in all went well.

Hello Marcel,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Airfares fluctuate based on live airline availability and market demand, so prices can increase or decrease at any time after a booking is finalized. Unlike some platforms, we do not offer price matching or partial refunds for price drops after purchase.

To explain this in detail and answer any further questions, a member of our team will call you shortly.

Kind regards,
Steve

Hello Shivram,

Thank you for bringing this experience to our attention.

Selected flight details are processed automatically based on the selections made during checkout. Once a ticket is issued, applying changes or processing a cancellation requires following the specific fare rules and fees set by the airline.

To look into the booking record and review the charges applied to the account, please reply directly to the latest email received from customer support.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your review.

Once a booking is confirmed and issued, the reservation is bound by the specific fare rules established by the airline. These rules determine whether cancellation, changes, or full refunds are permitted for that specific ticket type, meaning travel agencies cannot manually override those policies.

Kind regards,
Leo

Company is not trustworthy

Company is not trustworthy. Somehow my flight codes got switched and I called them immediately after booking. They refused to edit it and instead charged a 95% fee of the price.

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for leaving a review.

It's not that we are not trustworthy. Flight details are processed directly through the system based on the exact selections made on screen during checkout. Once a booking is completed, modifying flight segments or ticket details requires following specific ticket change conditions.

You will be contacted by customer support to ensure what is the possible help we can offer as per the airline policies.

Kind regards,
Leo

I purchased seats through BudgetAir but they are not showing as purchased on the New Zealand Air website, under the confirmation number. So it looks like I will need to purchase seats again. Not good.

Hello Jennifer,

Thank you for leaving a review.

Seat requests submitted through the booking system are sent directly to the airline for confirmation. Air New Zealand is currently processing the seat request, and an update with the confirmed seat numbers will be delivered as soon as the airline completes the confirmation.

An agent will monitor the seat status and send over the updated details right away.
