Travelstart Or Wakanow Which Is More Reliable Or Booking With Airlines Directly. by nonoski: 12:57pm On May 21, 2017 |
Please which of these two is more reliable for booking of tickets for overseas trip. I have used Wakanow in the past and they have many physical addresses especially here in Port Harcourt. But Travelstart has a far lower price but i checked online for reviews of Travelstart and saw quite a number of negative reviews with lots more of positive reviews too. Same thing for wakanow. So i decided to ask Nairalanders their experience(s) using any of these travel agencies or is it better dealing with the airlines directly (duh i noticed its more expensive) |

Travelstart will not pick ur calls nor respond to their emails. The truth is that u should be very very sure of ur intended date of travel. It's when u want to change ur itinerary that u will see the true color of travel agencies be it wakanow or Travelstart or jumiatravels. 8 Likes 1 Share |

hardywaltz:I noticed that from most of the complains online. Please mods DisGuy and Justwise and Seun why was this thread moved to the Travel Ads section. Nobody is advertising any good here rather to sample opinions from frequent travellers so one can make an informed decision. Kindly move back to travel section or homepage. Thank you 2 Likes |

Hmmn. I have heard all sorts about Wakanow and Travelstart BUT I have actually used both. Travelstart is really cool BUT you can spend years trying to get through to them on phone. Wakanow has the same issue but at least, they call you when you make a booking on their site. I think Wakanow has cheaper flight fares but Travelstart has a better refund policy. So, I would say book with Wakanow if you want the cheapest fare and a much better customer service experience but if you may need a refund in the future, use Travelstart. #Nuffsaid. |

Hello House, Wakanow is presently dealing with me. They didn't not confirm my bookings, one 585k, one 645k, another 583k , after several emails and calls, until I booked a 700k ticket, that's when they financed it with my outstanding fund(for three days) and no confirmation email. One of their staff even asked for a credit b4 he would treat my request. Which I sent(ibhave the scfeenshot). Then I saw a new ticket of 460k, and I booked it, that's when they said they have already issued a ticket for the 700k(thats when they now sent a confirmation email). I was told by a an insider I have there that there is no big deal in it, that they can cancel that ticket and finance a new one. But they insisted it's too late. Bottom line: I booked several low fare, they didn't issue a ticket, Infact I was told several times that the person handling my transaction is on leave, so they can't treat until he is back. They are now issuing a ticket for a high fare. So unfair!!! I am not gonna let this slide. I would deal with them, because of their next victim. So I am making this go viral on both twitter and facebook. #wakanowisascam. I need ur support. I am working in conjunction with two SUG presidents, we are getting more than 5m retweets. I would feed u back as it goes. Thanks you 4 Likes 3 Shares |

With all these negative stories, is it not better to book with the airline directly? what are the disadvantages? Please people who have used Travelstart recently, what is your experience? |
Re: Travelstart Or Wakanow Which Is More Reliable Or Booking With Airlines Directly. by Tommy001: 10:22am On Jul 28, 2018 |
Try Travelden (travelden.com) they sell at very affordable prices, they follow up on your check-in and arrival, plus if the airline cancels, they will definitely get you refunded. I will recommend them anyday |
Re: Travelstart Or Wakanow Which Is More Reliable Or Booking With Airlines Directly. by Tommy001: 10:30am On Jul 28, 2018 |
Saintp: I won't advise booking with the airline directly, cause local airlines cancel and adjust their schedule a lot, you need someone to be responsible for that and keep you updated, check-in for you and make sure you don't miss your flight or even rebook. I've had terrible experiences with Nigerian airlines and wakanow(took 6 months to refund), only travel agency I recommend is Travelden |
Re: Travelstart Or Wakanow Which Is More Reliable Or Booking With Airlines Directly. by Tommy001: 10:32am On Jul 28, 2018 |
Adesope01: Have you tried Travelden though, just discovered them, they are fantastic |

Tommy001:So I booked a flight with Wakanow and they sent me the PNR and the Ticket number, but whenever I go to the airline's Check in and put the details they say the passenger isn't found. Do I have a reason to panic? The flight is on 6th of next month. |

Wakanow at it again, I booked a ticket for a return flight out of London, Payment was made, payment was confirmed. To cut long story short I called the airline for 72hrs and they kept telling me ticket was queued and will be issued shortly. 6hrs to the flight, I received this email: We regret to inform you that all effort to issue your ticket on Airfrance proved abortive We advise that you send an email to refunds@wakanow.com with your payment details and bank account, requesting for refunds We hope to hear from you soon and we sincerely regret the unfavorable experience I later called and queried why they couldn't issue ticket when the flight was still available on their booking site. I made additional payment to commesurate for the new price... same thing...VOICE MAIL. OYA refund so we can buy new ticket..... NO RESPONSE Passenger was left stranded in london.... |
