I booked an Arik air flight of #250,000…
I booked an Arik air flight of #250,000 in December. Missed my international flight so had to reschedule all my local connecting flights, I did that in the last week of December and all the other airlines including Ibom air and value jet processed my refunds within 3 weeks. I’ve been struggling with Arik air ever since December. This is now the second week of April.
I have called repeatedly, at first once every couple of weeks and eventually every couple of days, until I was blacklisted and they stopped picking my calls or they would and not say anything on the phone, incredulous yes, I never believed it could happen till it did. I have been civil, polite, escalated, reasonable, filled out the form they sent via email three times and resubmitted, all to no avail. I eventually started asking to speak to a supervisor, their support reps would put me on hold for a few mins and return and say no supervisor is on seat, it happened like clock work 4 or 5 times till I insisted and refused to get off the call, they cut the call on me and eventually when I called back the next day, finally put me through to a supervisor who listened and promised resolution in 48 hours. It’s been 2 weeks since then.
I am very sure that this is a tactic they use to “not” refund people. To frustrate you until you give up, but this particular refund will choke them.
Arik air. Process my refund for flight PNR 1BDAJM. My phone and WhatsApp is 07062675448. There is no reason why a refund should take more than 10 business days and even after three months of calling and multiple support reps saying they have escalated it, a whole month later, my refund is still nowhere to be found and total radio silence from you guys.
I can promise that if you don’t have any care for your reputation or customer service etiquette and you force me to start exploring the legal ramifications of the issue at hand, you will be sued and the damages will be a lot more than the refund you have slyly refused to honor.
You don’t have to worry about me being a patron on any of your flights with this atrocious experience but I will paste this everywhere I think of to warn others of your shady business practices.
