Always use travelstart. Today I booked and made a huge mistake by selecting the wrong month. I immediately called the team and the service was just brilliant. I managed to get the dates chnaged and tickets reissed with a minimum of stress. Zizi, Lindi and the gnetlamn whose name I couldn'y quite catch, but who took my call initially - you are a credit to Travelstart and I will continue to book my tickets with you.

Hi Sonja, we're sorry to hear about your experience. Your airline check-in reference is on the ticket emailed to you. Check-in generally opens 24 hours before departure. If you still have an ongoing query pelase email feedback@travelstart.com with your booking reference and contact number, and an agent will be happy to call and assist.

Useless. I wanted a change of date and airport. They sent me a quote which I accepted, then checked and they got the airport wrong. I didn't pay since they said payment had to me made for change to go through. Instead they simply cancelled the flight, so I'm now stuck with no flight. On top of that, they listed a flight on the app, so I rocked up at the airport only to be told that there was no flight.
