STAY AWAY - FLIGHT CANCELLED, NO ALTERNATIVE FLIGHT, NO REFUND, WEAK EXCUSES, DENY RESPONSIBILITY.
Our flight was cancelled, we were not offered an alternative flight. Instead of receiving the due refund, we only received 10% back. When calling their customer service, they acknowledge the mistake, however in the follow-up they keep saying the airline made a mistake and we should call the airline for refund (which is not possible as the flight was booked via Travelstart).
Their standard reply is "sorry, we understand your situation, we did our best".
Sorry, if that's your best, better close the company and stop acting irresponsible with customer's money.
UPDATE:
after receiving a comment on my review by Travelstart, asking to send my case to their feedback-channel, it gets more ridiculous: I got the following reply:
‘Thank you for contacting Travelstart South Africa
If you have purchased your ticket through one of the Travelstart companies in Europe, we are unfortunately not able to assist you as we are not affiliated with any of the Travelstart companies in Europe.
For any bookings made through Travelstart Germany etc you would need to contact them directly as we do not have access to any of their bookings.’
Again, denying any form of accountability, in the actual channel they asked me to use in this very post (check the comment) sending me back to the channels which brought me here in the first place. Textbook solution on how to prank a customer.

I booked flights through Travelstart for a family holiday to Abu Dhabi. The flights were on Qatar. I specifically booked this flight for it's shortest travel time as I have an autistic son with severe anxiety and the airport waiting times are a major issue for him. Lack of sleep also is a massive struggle for him. This whole trip was part of his therapy for overcoming a disasterous flight to Abu Dhabi 7 or so years earlier. He finally felt ready to conquer his fears so that our family could travel again. After paying for the flights I received an email stating that the flight times had changed and that our layover would be lengthened by hours. Obviously this was not going to work. That is how my nightmare with Travelstart began. I only booked through them because they offered the best price on the google page. I would have saved about R1000 so I booked through them. That decision ended up costing me HOURS of phonecalls and messaging AND R50 000. I'm devastated. After hours of my time, it was agreed that they would give us a full refund (highly unusual and I thought I was being given a special service), only to find out that I actually will not be receiving a cent back. Once we were assured of our money back and I accepted their offer, I used my credit card to book the families flights on Emirates instead and fly directly to Dubai without any stops. I kept telling my husband not to worry, Travelstart were in the process of refunding. When I inquired they said that it would take 8 to 12 weeks. Now that the 12 weeks are past, I once again contacted them only to find out we will not be getting a refund because according to them I never accepted the refund quote. And Qatar confirmed that we were a no show for the flight!!!!!! Travelstart are very sly. They insert a link that you have to click on to accept their offer. You have no proof that you have done it. Only they do. Whether they are outright lying because they have a fault in their system which meant they didn't cancel the flight on their part, or whether the link they sent wasn't working, or whether this is just what they do, I KNOW THAT I ABSOLUTELY ACCEPTED THAT QUOTE. Why would I not accept an offer to a full refund when they had been wanting to take thousands off for admin before I got hold of their SA manager, John Friel.
R50 000 gone. No sorry. This company is shocking. I wish I had come here to check before trying to save thay R1000. Please, save yourselves the stress. These people are not ethical.

I suggest that no one uses Travelstart. I made a booking, never got issued tickets, got refunded more than R2000 less than what I paid and they are unwilling to make it right. If you have R2000 to risk...then go ahead. They emailed me last week and said they would get back to me by yesterday. Never heard from them again. Epitome of unreliability!

I agreed to be debited EUR 191.99, instead I was debited NOK 2217. Travelstart debited my credit card both another currency and amount than was agreed. Contacting their customer service about this led nowhere.

Absolutely shocking experience with Travelstart. I had booked with a free flight change as my father was in hospital. When I called to make the change, the quotation was sent to me at 16:39. When I tried to accept it… I was informed that I had to accept it by 16:00. When I called back suddenly the price had increased by R3000 and they refused to assist.

Wie kann es sein, dass so eine Gesellschaft überhaupt noch Flüge anbieten darf?! "OHNE WORTE"...Meine 289,71 Euro wurden nicht zurück erstattet, obwohl der Flug im Februar 2023 annuliert wurde...Ich habe zig Mails geschrieben..sogar PayPal ist zu dumm, um den Fall zu klären...Mein Geld ist weg...Vielen Dank an Travelstart...Hoffe, der Geschäftsführer erstickt an dem Betrag....

Terrible customer care experience. Booked several flights already with them and never needed customer care. Until now, booked a flight, flew the first leg and tried to change the date of second leg, just to be told by a person in broken english on the customer care line, that this is unfortunatly not possible. Even my information on the related ticket rules, stated in Travelstart's email when sending the ticket to me in the first place, entailing me to a date change for a fixed service fee, was in vain. I was several times simply told, that they couldn't do anything for me. Despite receiving the feedback prior by the airline, that a change has to be dealed with through the travel agency I 'd booked with. Resolved? Well, no. I had to buy a new ticket. Never again with Travelstart!

Riktigt dåligt, bokat fel datum på biljett och ta en "avgift" om 400 kr.
Servicesupporten sitter i Indien och är helt värdelösa.
Bojkott.

Very slow response and a lot of hidden cost and fees. Try to avoid using this company.

Required excessive documents to confirm booking after I had already paid, supplied the documents needed within the deadline supplied, they denied my documents and cancelled my booking, I then missed out on the flight I had paid for and had to pay for a much more expensive flight, stay clear of travel start!

Reserved a Flight online but the return date was wrong, thus prior to paying for the flight we tried to change it. We contacted Travelstart that advised us that we can only make changes to the ticket once we have paid for it, and the ticket was issued. The ticket rules / fare rules stated that a change would cost no more than R3600. Travelstart quoted us R9100 to make a date change of which R700 was a processing fee... more than double the processing fee I paid to issue the ticket. Complete Rip Off. Further more they have some or other arrangement with the Airlines that you cant change the ticket on the airlines website directly, you have to go thought Travelstart, allowing them to rip you off however they want to.

Having read such terrible reviews of this company I was terrified when needing to modify my flights - however, the team couldn't have been more helpful and efficient. Within a matter of minutes my flight was changed at a minimal fee. I am so impressed and couldn't recommend this company more highly. They have certainly cleaned up their act!

Ich habe über Travelstart eine Gepäckaufgabe gebucht und bezahlt, die Information ist jedoch nicht an die Fluggesellschaft übermittelt worden, sodass mir am Schalter das Gepäck erneut in Rechnung gestellt wurde. Über einen Chat konnte ich dies zwar dann bei Travelstart reklamieren und habe einen Link zu einem entsprechenden Formular erhalten, seitdem (vor 14 Tagen) habe ich aber weder eine Rückmeldung noch eine Erstattung erhalten. Ich rate daher von einer Buchung über das Unternehmen ab.

What is going on here? Their system rejected both my bank cards, even though these had enough funds in them and were working perfectly. And their EFT option expects users to log into their bank account from the Travelstart website. Surely this isn't normal? Their outsourced call centre personnel were unhelpful and speak with such accents I couldn't understand them. Something dodgy here. I've used Travelstart in the past without problems.
DO NOT use this company. I booked a ticket, then the ticket was cancelled because the said the payment didn't clear, but the payment cleared from my bank. In short, the money was debited off my account, but NO TICKET. So, scam alert.
