My £18,069 flights were cancelled at the end of March 2020. No communication from Dream World Travel to advise.
Placed a refund request and was advised I would be refunded in 4 - 6 weeks.
No further correspondence.
No refund
No flight!
Disgusting.
18 weeks later and still NOTHING!
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO BUT WARN ANYONE LOOKING TO BOOK WITH THEM. DON'T!
Been waiting for a refund for 4 months. Heard and recieved some many lies and conflicting emails. Adamant that i have to pay £35 admin fee when i didnt cancel the flight as it was in their T&Cs... then stated they were being charged it by Qatar, then by the 3rd party they booked the flight through.
Request a Subject Assess Request which has been totally ignored.
Timeline keep getting extended...
Do i expect to see my money... No!

I cancelled my flight and informed Dream World one week before as they requested. Was given a refund ref number. Was promised to receive refund in 2 weeks. I gave it 3 weeks, opened the screen, entered my ref number-NO RECORD EXISTS. Tried to phone refund team-no success. Tried to call Sales-got through immediately. They said yes-there is my reference-wait. I waited another 2 weeks. Then I emailed them-was asked to wait another 8 weeks. Today Iphoned Belavia airlines myself-they told me cancellation has never been requested. All I can do is to write bad revues. I am afraid these thieves will go bust and reopen using a new name and will continue to steal from people
They are not agents. They are con masters. I will not let this go unheard. They took money from my account on 8th of July and informed me on 29th of July at 5.27pm that sirline has cancelled my tickets. I contact the Emirates team, they told me they never purchased my tickets and took my money. I have invoce against it. I spend a lot money on shopping and booked time off my work. I am going home after 3 years.
This will be taken to court and public. That's a fraud. My shopping for my family is useless now if I don't have a ticket. I never cancelled it. Emirates confirmed dream world never purchased it. I hope court and public will give them a good lesson.
Eithad airways issue my refund to dream world travel on 7th june and now 1st aug they still not giveing me my refund back. Keep lies keep lies. Let down the customers. Never book with them.
I have booked the tickets from this worst company. They have taken £1070 from me, didn't book any tickets with the airline. Contacted the airline and they confirmed no bookings. Now the flight is not available to book. I am lost and the VISA is expiring. Some one advise on what to do please..
This is the very bad agency that I bought tickets from them because I had to contact them more than 5 times due to a problem that occurred to me and I wanted to change or cancel the date of my ticket, but each time they turned the phone off without any help.
Friends, to buy a ticket, please be careful about which agency you want to buy from
Welcome to the world of Dreams where all your travel dreams come true!' This is in the About Us section on their website. What a joke!
This could not be further from the truth. What an absolute nightmare it has been to deal with this company. Their customer service is non existent and they do not care about their customers in any way.
I requested a refund for a cancelled flight 17 weeks ago. They informed me on 15/4 via email, that my refund would be with me in 4-8 weeks. 14 weeks later, I'm still waiting. This is despite the fact that I have found out from the flight company that they have already returned the refund to DWT. So, what exactly are they doing holding on to my money?
I have more than 10 emails from them, all of which are generic responding to my emails querying the length of time this has taken. Th emails give me no information about my own refund claim other than the one dated 15/4.
I have tried many times to ring them to discuss this, but I've either been cut off or after queuing for an hour the phone reverts to an answer phone. Frustrating isn't the word for this company. They are an embarrassment to the travel industry.
They have been made to look even worse by the 4 other companies I've dealt with over refunds, all have paid out within the given time frame and communicated with me throughout.
Dream World Travel would do well to employ anyone who know anything at all about customer service, as they clearly don't have a clue. I am now pursuing further action in order to get my money back.
Do not touch this company!
This company is incompetent and crooked. Please warm others on every form of social media. So many unhappy customers.
I'm Abid hussain very nice service specially syed moiz very cooperative and helpful man. I was in trouble because of cancelle flights he sorted out. Thanks syed moiz
I bought my ticket 13/01/2020 for 5/08/2020 to travel to turkey for 3 people when I found out they took the money from me never paid to airline companies as a result I had no flight to cancel or travel for me
PLEASE DON'TBUY ANYTHING FROM THEM THEY'RE NOT EVEN ANSWERING YOUR CALL!?
This travel agency has nothing to do with the customer service they are prioritizing company police above the customer. Friend of mine booking has been cancelled for no reasons, agent's offer no empathy, putting customers on hold for too long, having rude behavior and bad attitudes, its a bad customer experience. This is an advice to all the people out there DO NOT Book or Reserve any tickets through this travel agency.
Hi All,
I have been given good service by Zeeshan, and I hope all goes well during the flight. Amen

WARNING SCAM FRAUD **PLEASE DO NOT USE**
I have booked with this company to travel to Saudi Arabia via MEA and have requested refund back in March due to flight being cancelled because of covid 19. The company is holding my moneys and refusing to refund for no reason. They send useless automated emails. They cannot give an approximate date. Initially they said 6 weeks in March but I'm in July out of pocket and still haven't received a refund. Fake do not use please. They also block you off the twitter if you confront them on social media. I have about 15 customers who are also awaiting and in same position. We have a group on Twitter. Booking name is Isham Mohamed. I have reported this to Ealing trading standard and the bank as fraud.

My first communication with Ahmed on 6th March and last reply from lubna 9th July and still no refund. Constant email chains daily sent. No customer service at all.
Inform trading standards? The matter should be looked into by an authority because it has been occuring for years. If enough people report, some justice shall be done, hopefully.
I booked a flight in march 2020 I was charged for the service but no E ticket was issued I have waited and waited then finally contacted with dreamworld travel asking for Electronic tickets but they never reply to my emails. It was also impossible to contact with them on the phone as they never picked up which then led me to request a charge back from my bank luckily I was refunded by the bank within 3 days
In conclusion avoid this company at all cost they are absolutely scam
I booked a holiday for march 2020 but it got cancelled by the airline and it's been over 4 months I have not yet received my refund. This company has to be the most unprofessional and rude company ever. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM! I called the airline and they confirmed that the refund has been issued to dream world travel but they keep denying it. They always say 6-12 weeks! Horrible company i will now take legal action towards it
Good service, received my e tickets on time, this is second time doing business with this company also I'm still waiting for my refund due to vivid 19 problem I couldn't travel
I am agreed with others, thay are making people wait on the phone and then disconnect your phone. Its been 8 weeks I am waiting for my refund. Don't know what to do.
Like others if I could give a score of 0 I would. No flights booked with airline and no refund. I hope anyone who has has had a similar experience to mine will do as I have done and start reporting this company for fraud. You can report to Ealing trading standards, Action Fraud and ATOL enforcement.Its clear that a lot of the reviews are fake as there is no way these cowboys would get 5 stars!
Answer: Scam do not use, automated replies no refund since March 6th. Been emailing everyday since. Emailed trading standard and reported as fraud. Sent email to my local MP.
Answer: Prepare to do a charge back with your credit card company as soon as possible and buy the tickets directly from the airline. In most cases you will be at airport with no tickets and Dream World Travel will keep claiming that you got the tickets until you have lost the will to pursue your money back. This is their modus operandi.
Answer: Beware. If DWT has not given you a refund (like to hundrerds of others), you might do these: Immediately inform your bank if you used their services and they should help you issue a chargeback. If they cannot help because of the 6-8 weeks 'waiting time' then immediately email DWT to refund within 15 days. If you still dont get it within this, and you used bank transfer/services, credit/debit card, call bank and ask for a chargeback. For credit card one could issue a section 75. If you used other payment methods, ask the company to issue chargeback. One option is to use small claims court or lawyer. Do not waste time, take action right now. Only the bank or court can get any refund due. Once you have done the work for refund, inform action fraud to help save others too. Copy and share this genuine review that i made from my experience to help others too. I only rated this 4 star so it shows at the top for others to read, and for those people who do not click 1or2 star ratings to see the truth. Only people who personally know the DWT staff have had good experiences. Otherwise the rest had a nightmare with DWT.
Answer: They are massive con artists, so you are unlikely to ever get them, or, they will wait until close to the departure of your flights and either ask you for more money, or change the dates and/or times of your flights, because they haven't booked them in advance. Contact Ealing Trading Standards.
Answer: Inform your credit card company that you have not authorised this and according to internet resources this is a scam. If the credit card company has authorised it already, you can do a charge back. Keep declining as in the end you will win.
Answer: Still waiting 4 months on. Empty promises is all Im getting.
