Lastminute.com Experiences?
Posted by doppler-radar@reddit | Shoestring | View on Reddit | 6 comments
Hi there.
I am looking for good places to find tickets around Europe, and stumbled across lastminute.com, which seems to be a UK site. I have never heard of it before, and given how incredibly low the prices are, I wanted to ask around and ensure that it isn't a scam. Does anyone have any experiences using them for flights?
Thanks.

I wish I had looked more into lastminute.com before booking with them. They are effectively a scam. They tell you to use their app but you can’t download it in the US. They offer web “chat“ but it is an infuriating AI bot that doesn’t even allow you to type anything in. You have to choose canned responses. None of which are helpful. And if you tell them it’s not helpful they just close the chat. And their US site won’t load the trip it is only visible in the Spain site. I do not speak Spanish and they offer no translation. Everything is infuriating. We purchased insurance from them in case we wanted to cancel for any reason we would get a full refund And the best I can translate from their horrid website is that they will only offer a voucher for part of the amount for future last-minute.com travel. … As if I would ever do anything with them ever again. I called the credit card provider to cancel the purchase. Caveat emptor.

Has anyone not have there flight confirmed after processing procedure ? They said it takes 96 hours .. I booked with them before and got confirmed almost immediately! Should I be worried ? TIA

I can confirm that this website is absolute treachery.I was suspicious when I first saw the flight being cheaper than on other website, but I went with it.
It gave me one price at checkout.You can see it says TOTAL price.

I proceeded with the checkout, on my bank account 70eur was charged.
LastMinute.com is officially a scam, treachery, and hoax.Never will I ever buy from them again, my work colleagues or partners, family or friends.

I wouldn't go near lastminute.com they are scammers. When you have a problem with your booking there's no one around to help you fix it. Then they take 3/4 of what you paid or don't refund your money. They do this by not answering their phone when you want to cancel then it to late and they keep most of all your money.
