I cancelled my ticket (4 passengers) and as per the airline policy applicable at the time of booking, there were no cancellation charges if the ticket is cancelled for any reasons and 100% amount is refundable. This policy is clearly documented on airline website. However, the agency ************* through whom the ticket was booked charged $200 ($50 per passenger) as cancellation processing fee when the airline itself isn't charging any cancellation penalties. This is an exploitative practice in times of uncertainty during a pandemic and not customer/public friendly. Cheapoair should refund this $200 fee promptly. In addition to that, If you see the attached refund summary, they have also deducted $152 as agency service fee but there was no mention of this service fee in the original booking invoice. So this amount should not be deducted from refund and should be refunded promptly. I hereby request that ************* promptly refund a total of $352 ($200 + $152).Business response

On November 6, 2019, I purchased a trip to Peru through CheapOAir to fly with Interjet in July 2020. The total was $929.58. Due to Covid this was cancelled and we were told we had to rebook with the same airline through cheapoair. Since 2020, Interjet filed bankruptcy and hasn’t actively had flights that we could try with cheapoair. They stopped responding to my questions and told me to file a dispute with my bank when I called their customer service line. The dispute was denied because they haven’t responded and because they had the ‘option’ to rebook with the airline- which we don’t anymore. They don’t respond to my emails anymore or answer questions on the phone.Business response
