I had to have my flight to Vietnam reticketed and was only able to do so after placing over 20 calls to the company. The response I received to many of my calls was that the issue was being handled by the company's "concern department." Every time I called I was put on hold and then told I would be emailed with the outcome once the issue was resolved. When I finally received an email from Martin Sanders in Customer Service it simply told me to call back again. The email also indicated that my issue was low priority, even though I was told otherwise:

Ticket Details
Ticket ID: XXXXX
Department: BookAirFare
Type: Issue
Status: Open
Priority: Low

Evidently they were not concerned whatsoever because no action was taken for 12 hours after my initial call. Finally, at midnight on July 23rd, I was told that my ticket was being reissued and asked to pay $900 in penalties which I agreed to do in order to catch a flight on the 24th. That morning I arrived at the airport, only to be told there was no ticket in my name. When I called the company, they kept giving me a ticket number which did me no good whatsoever because the airline had no record of it and turned me away. Needless to say I rented a car, drove back to Oregon and have an additional $1500 in credit card debt with no vacation to show for it, just 36 hours of extreme frustration with this company in Seattle.
