Okay, I'll pad one on to the thread that can't seem to die!

My only issue I have left with my tix is getting NW to post one TATL seg. Glad, so glad, I never had to deal with The Gnome.

No, 900+ posts won't happen, at least not by virtue or vice of me.

It's just that this ticket refund process is just what it is for some of us: no refunds yet.

Based on my experience, that's an improvement for Travelocity.

Sorry to hear that people are having refund issues; my refunds came through after about three months worth of phone calls to the Travelocity "VIP" line. Good luck!

Oh, trust me, I feel your pain. Many of the online TA's are such a pain to deal with. I refunded one of the LAX-AKL tickets via Orbitz, and I got all sorts of BS about just being able to apply the price of the ticket to another itinerary, less a refund fee, etc. Luckily, I spend too much time on FT, so I know the rules.

I took my two YYZ-LCA trips, so luckily I didn't have try and refund the CheapTickets that I had bought.

Got my refund a few days ago. Orbitz replied to my last BBB statement basically explaining how travel agents work and that the refund is in the hands of Alitalia. However, they also gave me 2 $25 vouchers for the next time I book plane tickets on Orbitz. Then I got the refund, though it appears from the reply I received that the refund would have come at the same time whether or not I had complained to the BBB.

I mailed the tickets to Orbitz a few days before the refund deadline and got the refund in mid-June, over 2 1/2 months later. While that's bad, it appears I'm still better off than some other FTers.

Now if only one didn't need to complain to the BBB in order to get an adequate reply.

Can someone please tell me if I, as a non-US citizien or resident, can get the help of the BBB, and if so, how?

Thanks.

I filed my complaint, albeit from within the US, on http://www.bbb.com/. I would think you would be fine.

What is the latest update with those who had not received their refunds as of a couple of months ago? Any luck in getting the matter resolved?

Do we have a grand total of tickets used on this fare? I used 5.

Actually, yeah. I asked for the refund a few weeks/days before the 1 year date. I got something in the mail saying it was being processed or something, but I never got the refund. Any ideas what I should do?

There are at least several tickets that are outstanding for refund.

alphaeagle is not alone.

Did you send those tickets to Travelocity, some other online travel agency or to Alitalia yourself for refund?
