Aunt Betty
Waste of money with zero customer service!
I booked with aunt Betty for my flight from Melbourne to London.
At the time of booking I paid over $150 to reserve my seats (through aunt Betty)
I also paid extra $125 for priority customer care….
To cut a long and painful story short, Qantas had no record of my seat reservations, so I ended up having to pay another reservation fee to book my seats… no problem (I thought) I’ll just call aunt Betty with my super duper priority customer care voucher…… couldn’t get through and absolutely ZERO response to my email. Appalling rip off merchants!!!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
Very pleased
When we were unable to travel due to covid aunt Betty organised a refund for us with no hassle.
It was really appreciated how simple the process was. We were informed of the processing time frames and whilst the time frame was not quick it was accurate. This was better then some airlines we booked directly with
I bought tickets to Belarus through them in April 2019, they had the best price!
While in Belarus, there was an urgent need to postpone the return date of departure, I called them 4 hours before departure, I was sure that they would refuse, and they only transferred my departure for just $ 200! I am surprised at so many negative reviews, it’s a pity that my review will not help you, but for me you are a super company, I'm sorry that I was going to write about this for so long. Thank.

Don’t reserve seats!
I traveled from Australia to Germany and wanted to make sure I have window seats. Paid about 150$ and ended up with middle seats. After emailing them still no response.

Ivs efficient and excellent customer service.
Ivs from.customer service was bwen helpful , accurate in giving information, very sympathetic approach as we had a death in the family that's why we are trying to change flight details.

While on the phone she is multi tasking she is quick to action all enquiries and emailing to us the important information needed.

Another whiney complainer with a 1st world problem
Thanks betty we had a smooth experience with no worries. To others who complain about wanting to change bookings at short notice - well if you go with a budget travel biz and don't read the fine print stop ya whining - there will be charges.
Take a mask, go on your "entitled cut-price adventure" and stop blaming everyone for your 1st world problems.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your booking and review.
It bought a smile to our faces !!...
Excellent experience!
We booked a last minute flight from Australia to the UK due to a death in the family. I made a total stuff up when making the booking and I thought it would be a drama. It was anything but. They gave me a refund immediately. We are now back home and had absolutely no issues whatsoever. We fly frequently and would definitely use Aunt Betty again.

Great experience with one caveat.
We booked with Cathay Pacific through Aunt Betty, and as with all of these third party agents, if you enter your details correctly and don’t change any aspect of your journey, you’ll be fine. The price we got was lower than with the airline directly and we travelled without incident.
However. Aunt Betty proudly declare that they have no sneaky booking fees, but they don’t tell you that some of their economy fares require a seat reservation fee if you wish to choose your seat before departure (and who doesn’t want to do that?). So having belie...
Read moreved we’d paid the total amount, we then discovered there was a $60 per-leg seat booking fee (paid to the airline) because the economy fare Aunt Betty secured did not include seat reservations. Critically, Aunt Betty did NOT inform us of this before booking, which we felt WAS in fact a bit “sneaky”.Hi Matt,
Thank you for your booking and your review.
We hope you have a great trip....

Amazing support and customer service!
I had some issues with Latam on my check in, where they treated me really bad. When I called Aunt Betty, Michael had an amazing way to solve my problem and with his ability and knowledge, he did everything to help and get me out of the situation.
He was very trusting and calming.
I am really impressed with the support and customer service I received from Aunt Betty.
Hi BBB,

Excellent no frills service
I recently needed to travel to Thailand and checked the internet for the cheapest fare. Aunt Betty had the lowest price but having not used them before, I searched internet for reviews. Finding most of them positive - the only negative ones seemed to be where flight changes were needed after purchase - and knowing my flight dates were unlikely to change, I went ahead with the booking. Confirmation email and e-ticket arrived soon afer the booking the flights went ahead without a problem. I will not hesitate to use Aunt Betty again if the price is competitive
Hi Paula,
We are glad you had a great trip.
Start planning for the next one. If you like Asia, consider India or Sri Lanka - they are HOT destinations at present (get it - HOT !!). Seriously, they are awesome places to go....

Found a very competitive airfare and all was smooth
Easy to book and manage. I booked a multi city airfare and every sector was honoured and I had full service airlines and partners operating the flights. Very happy will use Aunt Betty again

Easy no fuss service delivery
Kept us up to date constantly.
Bookings ran according to plan. Through C. S. Airlines
Delivered great value for money.
Costs were given upfront should any changes have been necessary.
Serviced flights and food good, skimpy on the wine.
Hi Ian,
Thank you for booking with us - it is appreciated.
We are glad you had a good trip - even if the wine was a bit light on !!...

Questions & Answers
How can we use credit shell from Aunt Betty to make online booking? Is the a code to apply when making a booking using credit shell?
Aunt Betty Customer service is not contactable.
Thank you kindly.
Anyone know what options we have since Aunt Betty is not responding to email and calls regarding our credit shell?
How can we use the credit shell to making bookings?
Or is it possible to get refund?
Thank you.
The problem is they make it so hard to redeem it that you lose your credit shell. I called twice a week ago on two consecutive days and the said we will email you. They never do. They drag it out so y...
Read moreou lose your money.they won’t refund my tickets and can’t supply flights as Etihad don fly Brisbane to Melbourne. So I’m furious. I’m taking my actions further and will get media involved if I have to . It’s ridiculous I’m losing $5200 worth of flights. Good luck..your gonna need itHas anyone had their flight credit honoured? reading a lot of bad reviews about honouring credits, and it's a bit suspect how you just receive an email instead of credit code or voucher. but hoping there are some people who successfully used their credit?
Not as yet. After 6 hours on the phone spread over several days, I did manage to speak to someone today from Aunt Betty which is positive. However, as I booked the flight for my wife using my credi...
Read moret card and my email address as contact, they weren't able to handle my query without first having written authority from my wife saying I can handle the flight credit! All very frustrating.sounds like you've made some progress though. hope it works out! for your sake and mine!
