I believed I had successfully purchased tickets for a United Airlines flight through Expedia. I received a trip summary with all the necessary details to complete the purchase, and I agreed to the price for the travel plan. However, I never saw the money being transferred for the ticket payment. With my trip fast approaching next week, I am now without reservations. I need assistance in securing seats on the United flight. The flight route is a direct one from Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on Wednesday, June 27, and returning on Sunday, July 15, from San Francisco (SFO) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL). The total price for the round trip was $[redacted].40. Please help me in obtaining these tickets.

I have attached an email we sent to Sandos Caracol in Mexico detailing our recent stay complaint. After staying there from May 1st to May 9th, we reached out to three managers and Sandos' complaint department without a response, aside from acknowledgement. Despite assurances of contact, we have not been contacted for weeks. As a final attempt, we are contacting Expedia since our booking was made through their website. We hope for your assistance as we had plans for a return trip next year. Here's a summary of our experience: Dear Carlos del Valle, Following our recent stay at the Sandos Caracol resort in Mexico, my wife and I encountered a distressing situation on the night before departure. Apartment [redacted] was inundated with toilet water, causing damage to our belongings. Despite attempts to seek help, the response from reception was unhelpful and lacked empathy. A room change to [redacted] did not resolve the issue as it also had a sewerage smell. We appreciate the one manager's apology, however, the overall response from the staff was disappointing. As returning guests, this incident on our last night tarnished an otherwise enjoyable stay. We seek fair compensation for the inconvenience and treatment endured. Looking forward to your prompt attention and proposed resolution. Best regards, Jeff Lee

I am Drake Denning. I had a reservation for two rooms at Days Inn in Nashville, TN on June 15, [redacted], for my upcoming wedding on the 16th. I canceled the reservation three days prior by calling Expedia, and I received confirmation via email. However, I was charged $[redacted] for one of the rooms I didn't use. The confusion arose because I was unaware that I needed to cancel both rooms separately. The automated phone system I used didn't clarify this, as I didn't speak to a live representative. I feel misled and would like a refund for the room I thought was successfully canceled. Thank you.

Hello, I am Behrouz A. I recently booked a trip to Athens through Expedia (Itinerary# [redacted][redacted]). Unfortunately, upon arrival, I found the condition of the Athens Green Apartments unsatisfactory and didn't feel safe staying there. I had to quickly find alternative accommodation for my stay in Athens. I would appreciate a refund for the two nights I was charged for at the Athens Green Apartments. I have been a loyal Expedia member for years and value your services for my future retirement travels. Please contact me at [redacted] to address this matter. I have photos of the hotel that I would like to share with you. Thank you for your attention, Behrouz A. [redacted].

I recently stayed at the Geiser Hotel in Baker City under the name Luke Schaaf on the 15th of June. My reservation through Expedia was mistakenly booked for the 16th. The front desk clerk mentioned a $50 early check-in fee to rectify the situation, but upon checking out at 9 p.m., I was charged for two nights. Despite trying to resolve the issue with Expedia, they were unable to help reverse the charge. When I contacted the hotel directly, I was informed that Expedia had canceled the reservation, leaving me out the cost of two nights despite only staying for one. I am seeking a refund for the overcharge.

My spouse arranged flights and hotel through Expedia for a June trip, yet we received no email notifications about a flight change as promised on Expedia's site. Flight [redacted] from SFO to LAX, which was part of our itinerary, no longer exists as such. The lack of communication is frustrating as we were left stranded. This reflects poorly on the business practices of American Airlines and Expedia. Unlike other companies like eBay or Amazon that inform customers of changes, we received no such updates here. The ticketing agent was unhelpful. We lost a vacation day, had to pay for extra expenses, and wasted time navigating through unhelpful websites. Despite hearing customer service rhetoric, we were left dissatisfied and will be avoiding American Airlines and Expedia in the future.

The hotel I stayed in, Point Plaza in Newport News, Virginia, on 06/23/18 was a terrible experience. It took 40 minutes to check in due to the understaffing issues. The cleanliness of the hotel was appalling; the room had dirty sheets, washcloths, and towels, while the sink and shower were filled with hair and particles. The overall hygiene was so poor that nothing could be touched with bare hands. Despite wanting a refund, the hotel had a strict no refund policy. Unfortunately, due to the high demand for the Hampton Jazz festival, all other hotels were fully booked. In addition to the unsanitary conditions, witnessing a rat on the premises was the final straw. I plan to report the hotel to the local health department and any necessary authorities to address these unacceptable conditions.

Today was a terrible experience for my family. American Airlines cancelled two flights without any accommodation, ruining our vacation. We were shoved over to Miami for the night without a hotel booking. We woke up at 3:00 AM and discovered our flights were cancelled twice, with no explanation or concern for our inconvenience. Upon reaching the airport for our rescheduled flight, we waited in line for an hour to rebook, only to face indifferent staff. After being shifted to a flight to Miami, we are now waiting in another long line at customer service late at night to find a place to stay. The lack of accommodation and professionalism from American Airlines is unacceptable. It would have been reasonable to receive a voucher for the inconvenience caused to salvage our vacation. I look forward to your response by tomorrow. I have always used Expedia and hope for your assistance in resolving this. I will share this disappointing experience on social media.

Hello, I am the owner of "Al Qaswaa Palace for Furnished Apartments." Today, a guest informed me that he made a reservation through your website and received a confirmation message on his phone, but I do not have a page for my hotel on either "Expedia.com" or "Hotels.com." Therefore, the page for "Al Qaswaa Palace for Furnished Apartments" is fake and the owner of this page is a thief. Please, kindly close this page. For any further information, please contact me at [redacted][redacted].

Name: Billie Jean Born Itinerary Number: [redacted][redacted] Message: I've been on hold for over an hour!! I used my American Express Card to book a flight, planning to apply my points. Despite setting it up with American Express beforehand, the Expedia website didn't give me the option to use my points and charged the full amount. Now I'm being told to cancel the flight and pay an additional $[redacted] because prices have increased. This is unacceptable! I need someone from Expedia to address this promptly. Please have an American call me who understands customer service on [redacted].

Upon arriving, I booked a double bed room but received a single bed. The staff moved me to a room with a Jacuzzi, but it malfunctioned, flooding the floor. I reported it to the manager, Joe, who took some time to shut it off. They provided towels and advised me to wait for the water to be absorbed. The issue was not resolved promptly as promised, and the response was unsatisfactory. After speaking with another manager, Shorlanda, this morning, I was relocated to a different room and offered a refund for the first night.

I purchased tickets with Cape Air for September [redacted] through your service. Due to a hurricane, my flight was canceled, and the tickets were extended until September [redacted]. After trying to rebook with Cape Air and Hahn Air, as advised, I was unable to make new reservations. I contacted Expedia, where I spent over 2 hours on the phone with a representative who could not locate my tickets. He assured me the issue would be resolved within 48 hours and took the details of our desired new flights. However, it has been 6 days with no update. I am frustrated and struggling to reach your customer service by phone. I would appreciate prompt assistance with this matter.

Upon arriving at Hotel Manofa in Amsterdam on July 2nd, I discovered that my reservation had been canceled by Expedia. Although the hotel mentioned sending a cancellation email on June 27th, I only received a confirmation email directing me to pay €[redacted] upon check-in. This led me to believe my payment was due at the hotel, as per the provided information. However, I was surprised to learn upon arrival that upfront payment was required. Despite the inconvenience, the hotel managed to offer me a room for €[redacted], significantly higher than my original booking price. This unexpected expense and room change caused me distress and financial strain during my trip. It was a disappointing and unsettling experience, especially considering the lack of a prior cancellation notification. I believe a refund for the price difference is warranted given the circumstances. It is crucial for a company like Expedia to uphold trust and reliability, and I hope this issue can be rectified promptly to restore my confidence in your services.

I arrived at Hotel Manofa Amsterdam on July 2nd only to discover that my reservation had been canceled by Expedia. The hotel staff mentioned that an email was sent on June 27th about the cancellation, but I only received a confirmation email instructing me to pay €[redacted] at check-in. This led me to believe that payment was due upon arrival. Despite this, I was required to pay upfront at the hotel, resulting in an unexpected extra charge of €[redacted]. The room given to me was not the type I had originally booked, adding to the frustration. Not receiving any cancellation notification beforehand caused significant inconvenience and financial strain during my trip. I urge the company to address and rectify this situation by refunding the price difference for the room. Such errors erode trust and reliability, essential for a company like yours. I hope for a prompt resolution to this issue to restore my confidence in your services.

During my time in Tanzania, I encountered frightening situations, with the most alarming being an attempted theft that resulted in me being dragged by a motorcycle when my purse got caught. Despite my plans to stay in East Africa until July 12, my family's worries have prompted me to shorten my trip. I will be heading to Rwanda tomorrow and have accommodations until July 7, after which I aim to depart Africa. I'm willing to forego my direct flight on July 12 and am open to a layover in the Middle East. I've noticed Qatar has connecting flights from Kigali that I'm interested in. Thankfully, I have travel insurance and hope changing my flight won't incur excessive fees. Itin No: [redacted][redacted] Ticket No: [redacted][redacted]

Floating Sea Cove and Marina was disappointing. The room was tiny at 8 x 10 with minimal furniture, not like the pictures online. The bed looked worn out, and the noisy air conditioner was a bother. There was even a roach in the bathroom with a rusty shower and dirty curtain. I took photos to show the conditions. The price of nearly $[redacted] was not worth it, and I couldn't stay there. I'm upset that Expedia promotes this place without accuracy. I demand a refund based on the misleading advertising. We ended up staying at a Holiday Inn one block away for $[redacted] with better amenities. I discovered reviews later confirming my experience, which is unacceptable. If Expedia doesn't refund me, I'll dispute the charge and avoid using their services in the future. I can provide the photos as proof.

Hello, I am still waiting for a response regarding my refund request. During my stay at Perry's Ocean Side Resort in Daytona Beach, I encountered several issues that led to me cancelling my booking. The lack of parking, unsafe conditions, and overall cleanliness of the hotel were extremely disappointing. The actual state of the hotel did not match the photos provided on Expedia, which was misleading. The room itself was outdated with dirty, torn carpet, broken light switches, and a strong unpleasant odor. The staff seemed unaware of the discrepancies and even suggested unsafe parking across a busy street. I believe this experience was unacceptable, and I trust Expedia will honor my refund request, especially since I had trip protection. I have been a loyal user of Expedia for years, and this situation was a first for me. I hope for a prompt resolution. Thank you, R.C.

I rented a car on June 28, [redacted], with a return date of July 2, [redacted]. I purchased extra coverage for $50.00. I was unable to return the car on time as planned due to transportation issues. Unfortunately, before I could bring the car back, it was taken from my parent's driveway. Despite suspecting it was my daughter who took it, I didn't report it as I hoped to resolve the situation without involving the police. Her name is Shelby Adams and she works at the Dairy Queen in Mineola, Tx. I am willing to cooperate with the authorities to resolve this matter.

I would like to address my concerns about a reservation issue with Expedia. I had a positive experience with the Expedia representative who assisted me in making the reservation. However, upon arriving at Villa Parguera after a 2.5-hour drive with my sister, we were informed that the reservation had been canceled, which came as a surprise since it had only been a few hours since it was booked. I had clearly expressed my desire to keep the reservation as confirmed by the Expedia representative. Despite the cancellation, the hotel managed to find us two rooms, but at an increased cost of $[redacted] instead of the initial $[redacted]. This unexpected change meant my sister and I couldn't stay in the same room as planned, altering our arrangements. I never received any notification of the cancellation, and the hotel mentioned I should have received an email from Expedia, but I did not. This was my first reservation with Expedia in years, and this experience left me disappointed. I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope for a better booking experience in the future.

Itinerary number [redacted][redacted] was a complete disaster. I paid C$[redacted].00 to reserve a room at what I thought was a guest house but turned out to be possibly a hostel in Reyjkavik, Iceland. Upon arrival, all four rooms were already full, and the owner, Bjorgvin, was not prepared. The entrance to Town House was unmarked and the room I booked was not available. The whole experience was chaotic and disappointing. I ended up having to find a room at FossHotel Reyjkavik at a much higher price. Furthermore, I had issues with Itinerary number [redacted][redacted] at St. Giles Hotel in London. I tried to cancel my last night but had no success despite speaking with a supervisor named Mohsen. This experience has left me frustrated and disappointed with Expedia. I urge them to address these complaints immediately.
