BBB Serving the Atlantic Provinces has concluded an Investigation into the status of FlightsNest/Travert Inc. The Investigation was prompted by several phone inquiries, one negative customer review, and 4 formal complaints against FlightsNest/Travert Inc. BBB spoke with the owner of FlightsNest/Travert Inc. on September 27th to advise and address concerns of 4 unresolved complaints filed through BBB. FlightsNest/Travert Inc. was provided an additional opportunity to address and resolve these complaints, however we did not receive any form of response/resolutions to these complaints.
FlightsNest/Travert Inc. is reported by consumers who book flights through their website, in some cases will receive a call shortly after to advise them the price for the flight is no longer available and advise them a different flight is available, but at a higher price and demand additional payment. If a consumer chooses to not pay the higher price for the different flight option, they are reported for charging the $50 cancellation fee. Consumers also report in some cases not being issued a refund at all, and no option to change their flights.
When booking a trip, BBB recommends the following tips:Verify the booking site: Before purchasing tickets, read all the fine print, cancellation policies and refund policies, and research the relationship the booking site has with the airlines. If you need to make a change, call the number where you purchased your original ticket, or go to the airline’s website and contact them directly.
Check the website security: Look for the HTTPS:// before entering any personal or financial information. Use a credit card to retain the ability to dispute and cancel the transaction.
Keep documentation: Save copies of confirmation messages, email communication, text messages, and anything related to the transaction. Verify the customer service number provided in the communication.
Research the airline: See if they use third-party booking sites and compare flights and prices.
Check BBB: Research complaints, reviews, and ratings before booking. If you’ve spotted a scam (whether or not you’ve lost money), report it to BBB.org/ScamTracker. Your report can help others avoid falling victim to scams. Find more information about scams and how to avoid them at BBB.org/AvoidScams.
