Traveloka is a scam
I submitted a refund request citing an official visa denial — a documented, external circumstance completely beyond my control. Traveloka acknowledged receipt and said the matter would be reviewed by the airline. Less than an hour later, my claim was denied.
I find it very difficult to believe a genuine airline review was conducted in that timeframe. This appears to be an automated denial dressed up as a proper review process.
To make matters worse, Traveloka's app did not even offer "visa denial" as a cancellation reason, forcing me to select an inaccurate option — which may have affected how my case was evaluated from the start.
I have since escalated to ZIPAIR directly, who confirmed they are willing to work with Traveloka on my behalf — yet Traveloka has made no effort to facilitate this. Avoid booking non-refundable tickets through Traveloka if there is any chance your travel plans could be disrupted by circumstances outside your control. Their refund process lacks transparency and genuine due diligence.
