Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: I have never received an error message regarding the confirmation as stated by Kayak in the letter sent on 05/At the time of the payment, I received only an email saying they were having a "slightly problem" with the payment but that the confirmation was in any case madeAs soon I called the customer service and I was assured that the payment went through, I contacted the customer service twice in two days in a row to be sure to receive the ticketsWhen contacted, the customer service told me that the payment was cleared and it would have taken a couple of hours for the company to issue the ticketsOnly hours later my first contact and the two calls when I was assured my ticket were being issued as soon, I received he email from Airfare, saying that the reservation was cancelled.
To further prove and verify what stated above, I like here to provide, attached, copy of the documents.
Sincerely,
*** ***

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
Very little in this response is correctOne representative told me offices were closedI called and indeed they were openThe next representative could not explain why she had a record of sending me the September email but no record of the email that I received on December 26thI did not indicate that I would arrive in Honolulu at 12:but rather 12:which was way past departure for the Honolulu to Kona flightFinally, at no time did I disconnect while on holdAs stated previously, the Kayak represented came back on the line several times to apologize for the long wait and that she still hadn't been able to get a supervisorIn the end, she came on the line a final time, said that she still couldn't find a supervisor and would it be ok if one called me back within the hourI agreedNo one called backIt is not a surprise that various representatives and or supervisors would adjust their stories to make a poorly managed customer service issue seem more positive for themselves and the companyMy wife can verify these conversations since all calls were on speakerphoneAlso I can verify the times and lengths of calls through my cell phone records

The email confirmation for this reservation would have been
sent directly from ***. The traveler
would have needed to send the itinerary to ***. KAYAK is not the service provider for this
reservation. All changes would have
needed to go through *** as they are the provider who processed the
reservation The confirmation from *** of the changes could have been sent to *** to update the trip or the traveler can manually update the trip once they made the changes with *** . For further assistance the traveler will need
to contact *** as they are the service provider for the reservation

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:I want their policy to have to changeThey should not be able to advertise a service if they are not going to keep the price the same for that serviceMy complaint is about their policy and customer servicePriceline and the other services keep their prices as to what you've bookedKayak.Com portrayed themselves in their commercials as similar to priceline and the othersThey should have to advertise BOLDLY that this is a "soft sale" and not a guaranteed transactionIf people knew they did not keep their word, they would not get any business.
