Been waiting a life time for a simple response - one reply than paid the money to change something, then no reply. I have said to them in an email that i look forward to my death and the fullness of time in the hope they will reply. If they do one day reply, i'll update this comment.

If I could rate Aunt Betty ZERO

If I could rate Aunt Betty ZERO, I would!

I have been emailing for almost 3 months and been on hold for over an hour twice as I am requesting a FULL REFUND on my four tickets as my flight was cancelled by Qatar Airways.

No one replies to my emails and I cannot speak to anyone as no one picks up the phone.

Appalling after purchase support.

Easy to make a reservation but absolutely hopeless for support thereafter. There is a chat line but you wait hours for a response, then have about 3 minutes to reply when they do actually reply. If you don’t respond in this time then they cut you off. The email from the My booking page is no better. An acknowledgment email is received, saying “an agent will respond to you shortly” but then nothing. I have already waited a couple of weeks but received nothing further, Hopeless!

ABY36440084 Submitted a name change request and paid the $75 14/05 nearly 3 weeks ago. Called up 6 times, waited 1-2 hours each time and name has still not been updated. Staff would provide incorrect information each time varying from it takes 1 hr, 24 hours, 48 hrs, 7 days to be updated. Each time they’ve confirmed that I will receive a call back however that has never happened. My flight is now in 3 days and I would not recommend to fly with them, the cheap price is not worth it.

I needed to cancel my tickets due to a change of circumstance, cancellation fee of 250 plus 200 for a no show fee on a 350 dollar ticket. So even with the return they want me to pay an extra 450 dollars to cancel and get 350 dollars back on the refund insane!

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service, they repeat the same thing over and over and do not know what they are doing. Absolutely no help at all when there is an error on their end. Avoid if you want reassurance of good customer service.

Aunt Betty is great....until you have an issue or need customer support

I purchased flights through Aunt Betty and also ticked the box saying yes to 'refund insurance' (after reading the fine print) to safe guard myself against issues should I be unable to travel.
Sadly this became my reality. A mandatory University assessment was changed to be held while I was meant to be away. I contacted Aunt Betty (6 hours wait on their online chat) only to be told they wouldnt do anything and I should contact refundableme in the first instance and come back to them if still a problem. Despite giving full evidence of change of dates, refundable refused to refund any amount of the flights. I called Aunt Betty (3.5 hours on hold on phone to be cut off while giving them my booking number and 4.5 hours hold on online chat). They would do nothing, not even answer as to why they would advocate a company that had such a bad reputation and reviews. Had to get a lawyer involved and finally received a 40% refund. After they agreed to this, I sent 3 further emails to get confirmation of the refund and have just spent another 2 hours on hold with the online chat to receive the confirmation. Thanks to this I can no longer go and see my family. Very disappointed.

1000 days to die with auntbetty au

I booked a flight with this agency which the whole process seemed smooth in the beginning. Turn of events begun when the airline rescheduled the flight and provided a 15 hours layover which couldn't work for me. I. Contacted the airline who reffered me back to auntbetty. Calls became the other of the week as no one was picking despite more that 2 hours on the line. Emails went unareplied even the online inquiry bore lemons. I contacted the airline again who confirmed that am eligible for full involuntary refund and they drafted an email to aunt Betty but still the email fell on deaf ears. Dealing with auntbetty should be included in the 1000 days to die. I had to rebooked another flight as aunt Betty merried with my money. The airline is still pushing for my refund. I can't recommend anyone to this travel agency, it's better to book directly from the airline
