AGGRAVATED THIEVES! AGGRAVATED LIARS IN THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY
On July 25,2022, I purchased business class tickets from ARANGRANT for my family (my wife and I plus our 2 kids) to travel home for my mother's funeral that was scheduled for October 2022. I purchased tickets from them for $*******.56 with a $20 tip with a scheduled flight for October 7,2022.
As part of the funeral preparations, I took an advanced trip home alone on August 20, purchasing tickets from the same merchant – ARANGRANT for 4,976.57. I was scheduled to return on August 27.
When I arrived at the airport on August 27 to fly back home from my advanced trip, I was notified that my ticket had been cancelled. I called ARANGRANT from whom I had purchased the tickets for an explanation. They could not provide any reasonable explanation, and I had to return home to resume work. I insisted on an explanation and was advised to purchase another ticket and return home, and then they will open the dispute. I purchased another ticket and flew back with Ethiopian airlines.
Meanwhile on that same date August 27 I advised ARAN GRANT to cancel my October 7 reservations and refund the purchase in full. Here is the text message I had with HENRY *******694) the agent who was charged with my file:
I later purchased a new set of tickets from the same merchant for my entire family to travel on October 5. We did travel on 10/5/2022.
To my greatest surprise they charged me for the October 7 flight which we did not take. They knew fully well that we had traveled 2 days earlier on October 5.
I reached out to Henry to inquire about my refund status. Here is the text message exchange:
In the lead up to the ticket purchase HENRY that the *******694) is his direct line. Today when I call someone else responds and tells me Henry is not on shift. Fellow travelers beware! This is purely and simply a bunch of thieves and liars who are out to get a hold of your credit card information to scam you.
NOBODY SHOULD BE APPROACHING THIS MERCHANT FOR ANY KIND OF TRAVEL RESERVATIONS. THEY HAVE PROVEN TO BE AGGAVATED THIEVES AND LIARS.
My agent confirmed that I purchased Premium Economy tickets, so I expected upgraded seats on all of my flights. However, it turns out the regional flights (operated by Aer Lingus) do not offer a Premium Economy cabin class. Aran Grant followed up and issued vouchers to make up for this. I appreciate that they pursued my concern and made things right. Excellent service, especially these days.
Purchased business class for transatlantic flight, only to find no lay-flat seats will be provided.
If you're selling "business class", you should indicate clearly when service will not match industry standards.

No history with them yet. We booked 2 international trips coming up. So far so good. Only issue was they booked 1st class on United. First 2 flights were like a slightly higher coach service. No food on first flight and no internet or even video screens on 2nd. Basically a more expensive seat. Definitely not first class but this company can't control the planes. My suggestion - look more carefully at the airlines and inform customers of this. We have choices of airlines.
Dear R E.,
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are delighted to hear that your initial experience with our company has been positive and that you have booked two international trips with us.

Seems like this company is a group of people who have fulltime jobs somewhere and they do this a side job. Or its a company run by people who live in their parents' basements and play games 75% of the time and respond to customers only when they have a break to grab something from the refrigerator. Seriously, I will never book with this company.
Dear G M.,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you encountered with the hotel voucher and the subsequent communication issues.

Answer: Hi Linda, thank you for your question. If the travel credits were issued from a previous booking with us, we can assist you with the rebooking, applying applicable fees. Please contact us at customercare@arangrant.com for further assistance.
Answer: Any compnay would be better, in fact you are better making your own reservations directly through the airlines if you know how to. Otherwise any other agency would be better than this one. Stay away.
Answer: They act like a scam company making all sorts of claims, then saying you are unable to do anything you were told you can do.
Answer: Almost impossible. Either they do not answer or another rep other than your rep answers and says they can not do anything, that they buy bulk tickets and you can not change ANYTHING and NO REFUNDS
