I had booked my girlfriend a flight from Nashville to Atlanta, and when she arrived at the airport, the airline could not find her flight and said that her ticket was canceled. I received no warning or notice. Customer service has been a nightmare, and they have not issued me a refund for the ticket. Do not use this company.

I had to cancel my ticket and try to get it back as a credit. Forget it, the ticket what are trying to sell you including the credit is double price and hidden fees applied, it's chipper to buy brand new ticket. Rip-off agency, very unprofessional.

Today I called exploretrip and asked for their help with a booking problem that I had. Pete, a C/S rep. Helped me for almost an hour as he got my ticket cancelled and called the airline and arranged for a refund. They do serve their customers!

Scam
November 28, 2020

Booked 5 tickets from them back in the beginning of the year To Italy, because of the pandemic flight was cancelled. They charged me $75 per ticket because they claimed I cancelled, when there was a travel ban to Europe. Tried to convince them that I didn't cancel, did not want to hear it. So I lost. Now they extend my remaining credit to January 5th 2021. Called them recently and was told my account was perged out if the system and they need to call the airline and there a possibility I lose my remaining credit. They are a total scam! Be aware! Stay away from this company. Very unprofessional!

Scammers
March 8, 2020

Booked a flight from Toronto to Delhi through Guangzhou for May 5th, 2020 on China Southern. CS issued a statement about full ticket refunds for anyone coming out of Canada through China because of the virus. Explore Trip tried to tell me that because it was "just a layover" it didn't count towards the policy and continually hung up on me whenever I would try to call them. My boyfriend managed to call and get a refund of $379 ($130 short) as the company kept on insisting the "taxes and fees" were non-refundable And/or it was a "special ticket price" even though China Southern issued a policy on FULL refunds. I have since then kept on calling and being told different stories and then being put on hold for long periods of time in which they then hang up on me. I will continue to argue with them until I get somewhere. Don't waste your time and money with these scammers. Plus they are super rude whenever you actually talk to them.

So bad! Stole my money
August 18, 2017

They canceled my flight without telling me. Then didn't give me a refund. Wasted a lot of my time and money. Don't risk it. They could do this to you too. Read the other reviews. This happens regularly.

Don't book with them
September 8, 2019

They sent me a message 13hrs after I made my booking saying that my card was declined. The same credit card I have saved and used with them several times. When I called to verify my card they said the had cancelled my flight and asked me to re book it but this time I had to pay 300$ more. I booked somewhere else and will never come back. Lost my business.

Terrible experience
August 16, 2019

I booked flight Toronto to Barcelona through explore trip, due to medical emergency my husband was not allowed to travel and I have to cancel our flight. I literally contact them for 3 weeks about my refund. I submit all necessary paper work. Result was zero. My advise to everybody is that don't try to book flight through Explore trip.

The experience I got booking my flights was very rewarding since I had a complex booking, I checked the prices on exploretrip website and called their 1800 # and arrange it with one of their operator. Our flight was on time and we had not problem getting back to our destination. Thanks to exploretrip!

The worst travel agent I have ever seen. Don't book you ticket hear. It is really hard to talk to the customer service. They always put you on a long hold. I am really disappointed. I want to change schedule and it takes a long process, they always tell you to wait for couple hours and call back..

Terrible Support
December 12, 2019

There was a letter missing from my last name and they said they couldn't help. When I spoke with the airline the airline confirmed that explore most certainly could help, luckily, the airline went ahead and fixed it on their end but now I fly home in a couple of days and I have to deal with it all over again.

Explore Trip has the worst customer service ever! If you just want to book a cheap flight by all means book it because it has amazing prices but if your going to have questions about a ticket your getting don't get it! It took me a whole week to get someone on the phone and if your on hold for more then 10 min they hang up your call! So i emailed 4 times with my questions and still my questions weren't answered they told me to go directly to the airline when i brought my ticket through them! I finally tried to get someone again on the phone and talked to 3 people and they gave me 3 different answers about my question so who is right?! Just horrible!

Over charged a flight change fee, horrendous customer service. I had to be transferred multiple times. Email confirmations never sent, I had to call over 6 times and finally they sent me. Wait for it... The wrong confirmation! Many times the phone goes unanswered when calling. The airline cannot help as they don't have the information from the wholesaler. A serious nightmare. I pray I can get on my flight with no issue. Fingers crossed that I get a refund but upon looking at the BBB website, I am not holding my breath. D- business rating. I will never book with this company again. I thought booking through a 3rd party site would save me some money but ultimately that is not the case here. The positive reviews above look like fake accounts too. Such a scam.
