In my opinion
In my opinion, Times Travel should seriously reconsider and review its business relationship with Al Aswad Travel. Based on the experience my family and I had, I do not believe customers are receiving the level of service, professionalism, or reliability that they are promised when booking through this company.
Throughout our journey, we experienced multiple cancelled hotel bookings, accommodation issues, flight-related problems, poor communication, and a complete lack of support during critical situations. These were not minor inconveniences but serious failures that caused significant stress, financial loss, and disruption to what should have been a peaceful and spiritual Umrah journey.
A company that repeatedly leaves customers stranded without confirmed hotel bookings, fails to provide timely assistance when travel problems arise, and does not take responsibility for its mistakes can seriously damage the reputation of any business associated with it. We trusted the arrangements that had been made for us, only to face one problem after another.
I believe Times Travel has a responsibility to ensure that the companies it works with provide the standard of service that customers expect and pay for. Based on our experience, I would strongly encourage Times Travel to investigate these issues thoroughly and consider whether continuing its partnership with Al Aswad Travel is in the best interests of its customers.
No family should have to go through the level of stress, uncertainty, financial loss, and disappointment that we experienced during our Umrah journey. Greater accountability is needed to ensure that future travellers do not face the same problems.
