Ruchira Gunarathne 6 months ago

Negative experience: We went to book a flight. There was four employees talking to each other and didn’t even look at us so we sat down and waited assuming there were busy. The funny thing is we were the only customer in there at that time. After waiting for about 10 minutes we left with so disappointed. Date October 29th, time around 4.00 o clock

Flight Centre

Hi Ruchira, sorry to hear about your experience. If the team have availability to see you immediately, they of course will, but they will also be juggling the virtual queue of customers with post appointment follow-ups, booking maintenance, and email enquiry. In this case, it sounds like they would have been working as a team on bookings to get the best outcome for customers, working through this virtual queue.

Fantastic experience: Poole sorted me flights last minute for the best price possible. I could not fault this experience. Shes super friendly and an expert at her job. Highly recommend.

Flight Centre

We love to see this great review for Poole, and how she helped make this so seamless for you! Thanks so much for sharing, Jared!

Thomas Lea-Humphreys 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to receive service from Preston Cunningham at the Hamilton Flight Centre branch. There was a sudden change in plans requiring a rather big change in times and Preston was still able to save my mother and I over $200! He helped make a stressful situation flow a lot more easily. Thanks Preston!

punarjot kaur 1 year ago

Negative experience: Terrible customer service. Had to remind the sales person so many times to send us correct details on our ticket. Meal entered was wrong. Ticket provided to us with wrong dates. Delayed replies on our queries. Never booking our tickets with flight centre again!

Flight Centre

We're sorry to hear about your experience Punarjot, this is not the experience we want our customers to have, and we will be sure to manage this feedback with our team.

Milan Dobson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I would like to express our appreciation and gratitude towards Amy Laurin. It is not the first time that we have dealt with her and she always goes above and beyond to assist and accommodate our requests. She has a very well understanding of the locations/ the geography of the area that we want to travel to and always gives us different options to assist us in order to have a comfortable, reasonable flight/ travel. Very happy and satisfied customer.

Flight Centre

We love to see this glowing review for Amy, and how she's continued to go above & beyond to assist with your travels, and make the process so seamless and easy for you! Thankyou so much for taking the time to share Milan!

Katherine Grace 1 year ago

Negative experience: Helpful but we asked for the works coming back to Auckland but only got seat and bag. We specifically asked for the works package. Not very happy about this. Also brought in my infant to add and got told bring passport, brought passport the second time and they didn't even require it. We also asked for a bassinet seat, didn't get that. Unhappy customer.

Flight Centre

We're sorry to read about your experience Katherine, this is not how we want our customers to feel. We do understand that airlines do have the ability to change out seating request if a circumstance does require, but this is rare. Regardless, we apologize for your experience, and will be sure to manage this feedback internally with the team

Sonja Botha 1 year ago

Positive experience: Want to go on a Mediterranean cruise next August. ( 4 of us.) The lady promised that she will come back with options 4 weeks ago...know her name. No service. Got helped through another company. My family of 30 had the same experience going overseas ..December 2023. We sat all over the place in the aeroplane and some had to take the next flight. This is also our last try with Flight Centre. So sorry. Before we had good service every year going overseas.

Flight Centre

Sorry to hear about your experience Sonja, this is not how we want our customers to feel. We know our teams are in high demand with the rapid reoccurrence of travel, but we apologize for the delay you've experienced. We'll take this feedback onboard to the teams.

Zainub Noori 1 year ago

Negative experience: Please don't go in Chartwell flights center they very poor customer service they are very rude she told me to wait one hours then after one hours she told me we fully booked today. Not only this time but they did with me alots ather time as well, she booked me the tickets and i pay for my baby the bassinet she didn't give it when we went in the flights nothing was there I already talked with center they not responded to me and say to me sorry, and I don't want her sorry. Please make sure this is not happening too you guys.

Flight Centre

Hi there Zainub, sorry to see you're not happy with your experience. With seating requests, unfortunately these are not always 100% guaranteed as the airline is within their rights to amend seating requests as they see fit if required, so this may be what has occurred in your circumstance. Regardless, we apologize for your experience and will be sure to pass this feedback onto the team.

Flight Centre

Kristina Barnes 2 years ago

Negative experience: There are only disadvantages when booking through flight centre. We ended up searching for our flights ourselves as they it was so much more hassle otherwise. Customer service was terrible - long response times or no responses from the travel agent, Amy, after booking and not helpful at all. When ended up having to change our flights back due to covid, which was an absolute nightmare - again slow response times and absolute minimum effort to help. It was hard enough finding any flights at the time at short notice. It would have been so much easier to deal with the airline directly, which we couldn't because we had booked through flight centre. In summary, don't waste your time. There are better travel agencies out there or just go through the airline directly.

Flight Centre

Hi Kristina, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. Could you please contact us on [email protected] and one of our customer experience team members will get in touch? Thank you.

Pichsinee Thanamongkolkan 2 years ago

Negative experience: As the web site said we can contact nearest flight centre, when we would like to change our booking. So we got in touch Flight centre Chartwell Shopping Hamilton, a man who is on duty he could not do and advise us to get in touch at Flight centre Lower Hutt which we got a booking. It’s terrible to do the job what need a service mind.

Negative experience: Made a cancellation on the 8th of March, and was told the airline had refunded them by the 13th of April. I’ve now waited another 2 months and I still haven't received anything. My emails aren't being answered and all calls go to voicemail. This is pathetic.

We pride ourselves on fantastic service and are disappointed to hear than you feel yours has been anything less.

Negative experience: Poor service!! Flights centre Hamilton is not answering their calls and is also not phoning me back. My 12 year old son could not board his flight as paperwork was not right after Flights centre told me it is! Lots of heartache and tears shed because of the agent that failed us and now is not returning my calls or emails send! Will definitely not recommend you to anyone or use you again!!

Flight Centre

Hi Heila, with the borders open again we’ve been receiving increased travel queries but we’re working very hard to respond to everyone.

Negative experience: Rude arrogant man that doesn’t care about good customer service. Thankfully the lovely lady who also works there was happy to guide my family and I in the right direction. It’s hard enough travelling due to covid. So the last thing you want is rude customer service. Book online if you can, don’t waste your time and energy going in.

Flight Centre

Hi Khaleesi, we’re sorry to hear of the difficulties you’re having. The Customer Experience Team is the correct platform to raise and address your concerns. Please do go through to them with any additional information you would like to have considered. We apologise that we would not be able to assist you further in this matter.
