Ticket Exchange Policy Fraud

I bought seats on 10/7/09, using Hotwire.com., for $478.40.in early December we discovered our vacation times had altered. Your seats are marketed as changeable and so I named to alter our seats to an early on day. I had been informed that to alter our seats I'd get one more $150 change fee-per ticket plus any distinction within the cost between my previous ticket and fresh solution. I had been informed the brand new cost was $510.00, but that Hot-Wire was not able to matter the change instantly; I'd need to delay as much as 72 hours to get a telephone call in the change division. I had been also informed it was the only path to alter my solution. I waited 72 hours and was ultimately called back. Nevertheless, the ticket costs went as much as $786 between your period I had been cited and also the period I had been permitted to alter the solution. I told the consultant that it'd be cheaper to simply purchase fresh seats, which at that time might have charge me $630. I allow the consultant for hotwire realize that I'd delay to re-solution within the expectations the admission costs might return along, after which I place a cost-view about the routes and times I needed. The costs did drop, and so I recontacted Hotwire and began the entire procedure once again. They advised me to alter my solution it'd today charge $586.00 but that once more I'd to hold back for that telephone call back from the consultant within the change division. I questioned again, if there is in whatever way to move me straight or every other choice to alter me solution for concern that once again the costs might return up. The consultant for Hot-Wire again advised me this was THE ONLY PATH to create modifications to a current reservation but that she'd attempt to have us called back ASAP hoping of having the very best price. Once more 72 hours approved before we obtained a telephone call back from Hotwire. I skipped the phone call therefore it went into voicemail. About the voicemail (that will be preserved) I had been educated the routes had today gone back-up to $746.00. I'd to contact them back A THIRD-TIME on 11/25 to alter the solution AGAIN which begins the entire procedure THROUGHOUT! I'd also requested the consultant I talked to easily might email one to acquire some customer support help with this problem. She advised me I really could move online towards the "Aid" link and e-mail a person support agent. I delivered a contact to Hotwire on 11/25 detailing the problem, hoping that somebody may be ready to assist me improve this method. I obtained a contact back from the Priscilla N, a Hotwire Customer Service Boss who mentioned that there is NO OTHER APPROACH TO CHANGE MY ROUTES. Within the mail she mentioned she, "might forward my recommendations towards the Technology Division to investigate just as one website improvement to higher aid their clients." It's today 20 times since I have originally attempted to solve this problem. The final telephone call I obtained from hotwire on 11/27/09 (that will be preserved) advised me the prices choose to go along again to $686 and also to contact them back easily am nevertheless thinking about producing this change. Curiously however, within this concept the consultant advised me that I will ADDITIONALLY CONTACT THE AIRLINE RIGHT TO MAKE THIS CHANGE, THAT WAS NEVER SHARED TO ME BEFORE. Had I created the change straight using the flight after I initially desired to alter my trip it'd have cost $510.00. Once more, I named Hotwire back; this time around I had been cited $686 and informed I'd get a telephone call in 72 hours. I expected them easily could contact the airlines straight (per the final concept I obtained) plus they said I really could. I questioned why I'd not been suggested of the before and also the consultant had no idea why I had been never told this method. I did so contact American Airlines on 11/27 and also the cost I had been cited together was $606.00 a distinction of $80. I re-ticketed straight using the flight to prevent another run around from Hotwire, but feel just like plan of the 72-time delay is just a fraud to obtain more $ out-of customers like myself. PLEASE DON'T BOOK WITH HOTWIRE.com! I've utilized Expedia and Travelocity and equally firm's are exceptional in customer support and services and products obtained.
