I am writing to formally request a full refund for my cancelled flight booking.
I cancelled my trip and paid the required additional cancellation fee. Despite completing this process and paying the fee, I have not received the refund for my ticket. I find these practices highly unethical.

Hello Godvin Paul,
Kindly note that you are properly informed about our fees via the terms and conditions, which are available before, during and after the booking process. We also ask you to read and accept our terms and conditions before payment. A fee is required for the processing of your request and the time and effort that will be spent by more than one of our agents on your behalf.

On July 21, I used Skyscanner to book round-trip tickets for two people from Izmir to Cologne through your website because it appeared to offer the lowest price.
During the booking process, no cabin baggage was included. Your website clearly showed that adding cabin baggage would cost 807 TL per person. I purchased only one cabin baggage allowance for one passenger.
However, after completing the payment, I discovered that 1,644 TL had been charged instead of 807 TL. This is completely unacceptable and does not match the price displayed during the booking process.
To make matters worse, after checking other travel agencies, I found that they charge 600–800 TL in total for two passengers for the same baggage service. Not only did I pay significantly more than every other provider, but I was also charged double the displayed price for a single passenger's baggage.
This is misleading and deceptive. Your website displayed one price but charged another without any clear warning or explanation. I expect an immediate explanation and a full refund of the overcharged amount. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will file formal complaints with the relevant consumer protection authorities and report this misleading pricing practice to Skyscanner and the appropriate regulatory bodies.

Hello Gülşah Yarımca,
Our aim is to offer as low total price as possible. Please note that the prices you can see on our website originate from the international booking system where they are uploaded by the airline companies. In case a minor price change occurs by the airline, you will be notified about this and will be able to see the final price before proceeding with the payment.

I reserved a flight from Malaga to Sweden with Gotogate the 14 july 2026
Great, except the coming back flight, when i have one stop in London with a connection flight to Malaga.
First problem, even for transit I have to ask a visa to England... : Amazing procedure, especially because I believe is just transfer and I do not need... But no ! In any case I need this visa so I had to do this on the checking desk... Besides the price : 36 euros !!
Next, the problem is that the connection flight is not on the same airport I landed, but at one other airport : London Gatwick !
- First you have to know that London Gatwick is not the airport I land from Goteborg...
- Second, in the middle of the night, you have to know where is London Gatwick terminal...
After some asking - taxi, bus... They told me that London Gatwick is at more than 100 km (!) - yes, hundred km from the airport I just landed !
Worse : No bus go there... and only the train but start 4 hours later... Not ok to be at time to the flight at Gatwick ! So the only solution is to take a taxi... and it cost me 147 euros !!!
And even with the taxi I arrived at the door gate at the time they close the boarding...
HOW can Gotogate proposed a flight change transit with two airports distant for more than 100 km ???? How is it possible ?
So I ask many time via el customerservice - chat, phone, mail... that they have to refund me the price of the taxi, 147 euros .
I let them 3 open days to refund me this 147 euros on my N26 Bank IBAN :...
I NEVER RECIEVE ANYTHING.
This company is scammers and I strongly advise you to avoid absolutely this disreputable company.

French version :
J'ai réservé un vol Malaga-Suède avec Gotogate le 14 juillet 2026.
Parfait, sauf pour le vol retour, avec une escale à Londres et une correspondance pour Malaga.
Premier problème : même pour une simple correspondance, il me faut un visa pour l'Angleterre… Quelle procédure incroyable ! Je pensais qu'il s'agissait d'un simple transit et que je n'en avais pas besoin… Eh bien non ! Il me faut absolument ce visa, j'ai donc dû faire les démarches au comptoir d'enregistrement… Sans parler du prix : 36 euros !
Ensuite, le problème est que mon vol de correspondance ne part pas du même aéroport que celui où j'ai atterri, mais d'un autre : Londres Gatwick !
Il faut d'abord savoir que Londres Gatwick n'est pas l'aéroport d'arrivée de Göteborg…
Ensuite, en pleine nuit, il faut savoir où se trouve le terminal de Londres Gatwick…
Après avoir demandé plusieurs fois – taxi, bus… –, on m'a dit que Londres Gatwick était à plus de 100 km (!) de l'aéroport où je venais d'atterrir ! Pire encore : aucun bus ne va là-bas... et il n'y a que le train, mais il ne part que 4 heures plus tard... Impossible d'arriver à l'heure pour mon vol à Gatwick ! La seule solution est donc de prendre un taxi... et cela m'a coûté 147 euros !!!
Et même en taxi, je suis arrivé à la porte d'embarquement juste après la fermeture des portes...
Comment Gotogate peut-il proposer une correspondance avec deux aéroports distants de plus de 100 km ? Comment est-ce possible ?
J'ai donc demandé à plusieurs reprises au service client (chat, téléphone, mail...) le remboursement du prix du taxi, soit 147 euros.
Je leur ai laissé 3 jours ouvrables pour me rembourser ces 147 euros sur mon compte IBAN N26...
Je n'ai jamais rien reçu.
Cette entreprise est une arnaque et je vous conseille vivement de l'éviter à tout prix.
Dominique Loup
PS I contact you many times by chat tel and mail... Do you do read what I have written ??? Scammer again...

Extremely Disappointing Experience with Booking and Gotogate — Avoid Relying on Them for Cancellations and Refunds
My experience with Booking and Gotogate has been extremely disappointing, especially when it came to handling my flight cancellation, refund, and customer support.
My flight from Toronto to Montreal with Porter Airlines was cancelled, and I immediately contacted Booking.com on 21 June to request cancellation. Despite this, Booking and Gotogate failed to properly process the cancellation of my return flight from Montreal to Toronto scheduled for 25 June.
When I contacted Booking and GoToGate again on 24 June, I was told that I had never requested cancellation of the return flight. This was extremely frustrating and unreasonable. Since my outbound flight was cancelled and I could no longer complete my journey, the disrupted itinerary should have been reviewed and handled as a whole. Customers should not be expected to separately request cancellation for connected travel arrangements when the entire trip has been affected.
I contacted Booking and GoToGate again through chat on 29 June and 30 June, but instead of resolving the issue, I was repeatedly told that I had never requested cancellation. This information was later proven to be incorrect.
On 1 July, after another phone conversation with an agent and explaining the situation again, I was finally informed that Porter Airlines had accepted the cancellation and that my refund would be processed within 10–15 business days.
After further investigation, Booking and Gotogate later confirmed in writing that my cancellation request was received on 21 June, airline approval was obtained on 24 June, and the cancellation was processed on 1 July. This written confirmation directly contradicts what several customer service representatives told me between 24 June and 30 June, when I was repeatedly informed that I had never requested cancellation.
This shows a serious lack of communication, coordination, and accuracy within Booking and Gotogate’s own support system.
Furthermore, on 9 July, Booking and Gotogate sent me an apology letter acknowledging the failure in their customer service. While I appreciate the apology, it does not resolve the ongoing issue or compensate for the stress, time, and effort I have spent repeatedly contacting support.
Today is 22 July, and I still have not received my refund.
I contacted Booking.com again and spent approximately 4 hours on the phone, only to receive the same vague response that my refund would be “initiated soon.” They could not provide a confirmed refund date, a clear explanation for the delay, or any specific resolution. Instead, I was given another general estimate of 10–15 business days, despite already waiting beyond the original timeframe provided.
This experience has seriously damaged my trust in Booking and Gotogate. The lack of ownership, poor internal communication, repeated delays, and inability to provide a clear refund timeline have made an already stressful travel disruption even more frustrating.
Customers should not have to spend hours repeatedly contacting support to recover money that has already been approved for refund.
I strongly recommend that customers think carefully before booking flights through Booking and Gotogate, especially when cancellations or refunds may be required. A travel company should provide accountability, clear communication, and proper support during unexpected disruptions — not make customers chase their own money.
Mind it all the customer executive who Interacted with me was from GoToGate and I can provide all the email trails as well as calls details if required.

Hello Ruchika Kapoor,
We’re sorry to hear about the experience you had with our service.
Upon reviewing your request, we can confirm that the matter has already been escalated to the relevant department for further investigation and handling.
We would like to inform you that the refund application was submitted on 2026-07-01.
According to the email you received on that day, refund applications are to be authorized by the respective airline before their processing begins on our side.
Unfortunately, we are unable to determine or estimate the time in which the airline will be authorizing our refund application, as the mentioned time frame depends on each airline’s current workload; in any case, the estimated time frame of 30 working days needed for the refund to be finalized remains unchanged.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in advance.
Best Regards,
Gotogate.com
I booked a flight through GoToGate for my wife and daughter and paid for extra baggage. However, GoToGate failed to add the baggage to the airline booking. Even after I contacted customer service before the flight, the issue was not resolved, and we had to pay the airline again at the airport.
When I requested a refund, the customer service representative, Mr. Paul, was rude and unprofessional.
Very disappointing service. I would not recommend booking with GoToGate. Refund

Non-existent after sales customer service
Real lousy i.e. non-existent customer service. Don't bother saving a few hundred dollars just to book through this useless booking engine - book direct through the airline. I have been trying for a week to change my return flight, but keep getting the same robotic answers from their customer agents, and plenty of promises that my case has been escalated and I will 'hear back shortly'. No-one rang me back, and one even had the cheek to tell me that I had missed their call (nothing on my phone's missed calls list!?). I am now less than 48h to my flight, and the only upside is that the last agent I spoke to was honest enough to tell me that all he could do was raise a ticket to pass it on to the next team, but he couldn't promise that they would look at it before my flight takes off. Gotogate is a sham, do not buy your flights from here because if you need to make any changes....it's not going to happen and you're not going to get any help! If I could give 0 stars, I would!

I'd give 0 stars if I could
I gave 1 star because I can't leave none.
They have cancelled my whole trip to USA to be a best man because after 7 hours of them putting me in touch with different people to negotiate my issue they cancelled my whole trip and have 3 weeks after being told I will get my money back not received it.
My issue was that 1 leg of my trip cancelled due to the airline - fair, needs to be rearranged. I asked them to rebook it on another airline 2 months prior to the trip... They said they couldn't. I said "I found a replacement, there was only 1 seat left so can I get a partial refund since you couldn't provide the whole service promised". They said it wouldn't be an issue. They have then sent an email (new chain) asking for my consent for a refund which I agreed to and they cancelled my whole trip. I'm out of pocket the other leg of the trip aswell.
Currently legally looking at how best to tackle the problem. No stars from me because they didn't provide a service and they robbed me of both my time and money.
Get travel insurance and use a different provider!

One star is too many for Gotogate
One star is too many for Gotogate! “Rescheduled” two legs of our trip, they can’t tell the airlines apart, over 1 week in internal review for a full refund on one of our legs. No itinerary update. A provider like this should not exist!! Gotogate means literally, just go to the gate, they don’t work the booking, avoid at all costs!

Refund scammers
My booking was cancelled on the 4th June due to flight cancellations. Gotogate had told us that we would receive my money back within 15 working days. It has almost been 2 months and i have had no update on the refund process. They have been unwilling and rude whilst i have continuously asked them when i would receive my money back and have refused to give me a date and time. I have several emails proving that they are nothing but liars. Do not book through them or Booking.com since they are in partnership with each other. They will not give your money back.

Hello MO MEMES,
Thank you for your feedback. Please allow us to make a small clarification.
The changes in your itinerary are the result of schedule changes performed by the airline company. Due to various reasons, sometimes the airlines are forced to change the departure/arrival time and as an agency, we are in the unhappy position to inform our customers about these changes. When the changes are substantial, the customers may request a full refund, depending on the airline and agency terms.
We appreciate your understanding.
Best Regards,
Gotogate.com
I hate the fact that a company like Gotogate assumes that all Swiss people speak freaking horrible Swiss German. My order was in French, and received confirmation in FRENCH, and is giving me to post a comment link in Swiss German: that is unacceptable from any company who does not respect their customers language, especially for a website specialized in booking International flights.
Beside, while ordering flights, they display that due to a reduced price, there will be an additional cost of 45€ to choose seats, which at the end was wrong since the real final additional effective cost for seats was the double from this amount.

Hello Briseris,
We are sorry to hear about your inconvenience.
Kindly note that in order for our company to provide you with the fastest and most efficient service, sometimes you will be assisted in English.
Please note that the airline services provided on the airline's website, can either be added by the passenger themselves. Alternatively, we can assist with the addition on the passenger's behalf, but naturally, a fee will be charged since we have to provide the service.

DO NOT BOOK THROUGH GO TO GATE
DO NOT BOOK THROUGH GO TO GATE
I am extremely disappointed with my experience with GoToGate. I accidentally entered “Mrs” as my first name instead of my actual first name when making my booking. I contacted GoToGate immediately, paid the £34 name correction fee, and was repeatedly told my case was being processed and escalated.
I was given conflicting information throughout the process. Turkish Airlines initially advised me that only the issuing travel agent could handle the correction, while GoToGate later told me to contact the airlines directly. I spent days making phone calls and sending emails between GoToGate, Turkish Airlines, and EgyptAir, with each party giving different advice.
Communication was poor. I was promised urgent callbacks that never happened, and I had to keep chasing for updates myself. Eventually, I was told that both airlines had refused the correction due to the fare rules, despite previously being told the request was still being processed.
Travelling is already stressful, and this situation caused a great deal of unnecessary anxiety, especially with my departure date approaching. I would have appreciated clear, consistent information from the start and better support in resolving the issue.
I hope GoToGate improves its communication and provides clearer guidance for customers facing booking issues.

The worst customer service ever, with no way to communicate properly.
I had a booking, and they sent me a message saying one of the flights was cancelled, even though it was still available on their website for a higher price. and offered a refund, which I can't use to book the same ticket with others due to a price change.
or alternative booking.
I accepted the alternative booking. And they cheated and booked something I never agreed to do. I had a chat with their agent, and all customer service representatives failed to do anything; they repeated stupid human responses. and get in touch with you from an email that you can't reply to. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THEM.

The worst company ever.
My flight was canceled by the airline, and I was told to contact the travel agency to rebook my flight. However, the agent informed me that they were unable to rebook because their system did not allow it, and they told me to contact the airline directly since they were the ones who canceled the flight.
When I contacted the airline, they told me that it was the travel agency’s responsibility and that they should assist me with the rebooking.
I am now stuck—I cannot rebook my flight, nor can I get a refund. I do not recommend this company at all. Their customer service is terrible, and this has been an extremely frustrating experience.
