Instead of issuing my tickets, the agent STOLE MY MONEY and used it for his personal expenses in the name of his father that too he accepted during last month of January idk whether it is true but recently I checked many people are writing review in his company Google review of him scamming them

March 4, 2025 at 9:47 amAre you this illiterate of not knowing how to book tickets ,visas and hotels to vietnam by just sitting at home and using your laptop? You could get everything at a much better price when u do it on your own instead of depending upon these agents or at least go with some well known travel agents .Anyway take this as a life lesson and forget about the 1.5 lakh as I don’t think that u will be able to recover that amount very soon .-

March 4, 2025 at 5:27 pmI get what you mean 🤣, although ” illiterate ” may be too harsh a word here, usually it’s just a lack of know-how and the ease of booking it via an agent which is why people do it…I mean, do you use Blinkit / Swiggy / Zomato / Zepto ? Because I could make the same argument, why don’t you go get your food from the restaurant store, why are you paying these companies a delivery fee when the restaurant itself used to do it for free or you could get it yourself from the store?

March 4, 2025 at 6:02 pmMan first be in my place I’ve never travelled international before and prices were way to high when I check hotel in booking.com and other website compared to agencies I called and asked… you can’t simply judge from your side this was my first international trip that too with my family so I wanted everything to be arranged properly which I got from another trusted agency finally last min and if I’ve booked it on my own I would’ve paid much higher plus i suggested what you already suggested to my family they weren’t ready for it so before judging be in my place brother you should think from my place not everybody is like you so don’t be rude

March 4, 2025 at 1:03 pmThis seems to be the modus operandi for travel agencies. There are similar stories [for SOTC](https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/18ctv47/unscrupulous_sotc_a_cautionary_tale/). -

March 10, 2025 at 6:02 pmI too had travelled with Tripbyfly a month back to Russia and uzbekistan. We were 6 people and our travel was very nice. But the hotel he changed before we reached 2 days back but luckily that change was actually good from the last hotel.
It was like a blessing in disguise. Remaining everything was perfectly planned. The owner of Tripbyfly mr.arun I hope he only provided services to u. I think sometimes issues happens but can’t say whom are lucky and whom are unlucky.Anyhow we will plan with him only for next year also.
