Skylux Travel

Gaius is an extraordinary agent with lots of patience and knowledge of the travel industry. Few times his advises have been really helpful. Thank you for your assistance!

I was looking for inexpensive tickets to fly to Delhi. Skylux found and delivered exactly what I needed. Less than in 20 minutes I had booked a trip that was cheaper than anything I could find before. Travel agent also led me through the process or purchase and transaction. I am 100% satisfied and will book more flights with Skylux!

SkyLux was very prompt and helpful to book my business class tickets. However when the airlines cancelled my flight and a country did not allow transit travelers SkyLux did absolutely nothing to fix the situation. I am appalled. I asked for a refund however they are not giving it. This service is a scam. Please book directly with airline. Don’t waste your time and money and energy with this company.

In January of 2020, my wife and I paid over $9,000 for roundtrip airline tickets to South Africa which we thought were a great deal. The airline cancelled our flight in August because of Covid-19 issues and we have been trying to get a refund for those tickets without any luck. Numerous attempts have proven to be a real telephone run-a-round and the most recent attempt ended in the CSR hanging up on my wife. We will never use this travel agency again!

I have been waiting months for my refund. My originally scheduled flight operated by American/British Airways was refunded to Skylux at least 5 weeks ago. I've been trying to work with Chad and Walker since early July. On August 14th I was told that my credit card was refunded. It's now September 1st and I still haven't received the monies. I've emailed my contacts and customer service multiple times since 8/14 and nobody has responded to me. In the booking stage, I liked working with Skylux. They were responsive, helping me book 2 business class seats on my international flight. However because of Covid, my trip was cancelled and it's been difficult and frustrating to get my money back. The worst part is that Skylux did get their refund from the airline but they are holding my money and not issuing me my credit. It's approximately $8500 that I can't get back.

We would like to apologize to the customer for any inconveniences.The request to remove all their contact information from our records has been filed and will be carried out in the next hours.The agent has been reprimanded for failing to submit the request on time

I have used them numerous times Ralph was my guy that always delivered I was issued American airline tickets at good business prices I am using them again because they have been professional and better than any travel agent at good prices

I used Skylux last summer when traveling to London from San FranciscoMy agent was extremely patient and helpful, finding me the best option for my trip in such a short amount of timeEverything was great from the moment I arrived at the airport to the time I landed in LondonI will definitely be using them again

We had booked tickets via Skylux travelsat the time of booking the tickets when asked for the cancellation charges they had quoted one amountWhen we had to actually cancel the tickets and at the time of the cancellation the travel agent we were working with said the fees was much more than the amount we had been givenSince we (well my insistent wife) had asked for a written email confirmation about cancellation charges we were able to get the refund back minus the original stated chargeseven to get the refund we had to hassle a lot with the agentGET EVERYTHING in EMAIL with skylux

Initial Business Response / [redacted] (1000, 5, 2015/11/10) */ We have looked into this case, and this case is now resolved with Mr***Now his ticket shows 11/as return date When Mr [redacted] contacted us for the exchange, we informed changes are normally possible by paying an airline penalty plus any fare difference (if any)We informed Mr [redacted] we would need the new dates to provide the needed information However, when Mr [redacted] got back to us with the new dates, we could only process the change with a significant fare difference because we needed a days advance purchase for the same priceThe fare rules are set forth by the airlines, and Skylux has no power to override the restrictions We suggested Mr [redacted] to process his inbound change after he departs because he would then not be constrained to the days advance purchase requirementWe have now successfully changed his inbound dates and this case is now RESOLVED

Frustratingly, unable to satisfactorily resolve a conflict between an agent's statement and the SkyLux Travel's written policy in regard to cancellation fees, both with the agent in particular and also with Customer ServiceValuable time was invested in attempting to reconcile the situationZero satisfactionAgent's communication was professional and efficient, but when mentioned by the agent that at some point 'trust' comes into the transaction, the entire situation becomes questionableGreat pricing but just not worth the risk and the run-around unethical
This is what I was told by the agent:
"Cancellations can be done days prior to departure with a fee of $The remaining amount will be refunded backWe can also cancel the ticket if you request it less than days prior to departure$penalty will still be applicable but in some cases, additional penalties might be applicable which we can only check after the ticket is issued and at the time when you actually want to make the cancellation."
However, the ticket stated:
"You will not receive a monetary refund when cancelingInstead, you will receive a credit (less any airline/hotel fees) towards a future ticket purchase on long haul international flights of equal or greater value, which will be valid for up to twelve (12) months from your original date of purchase."
And the actual website for SkyLux stated:
"The fares are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and non-transferableThe fares and their governing rules are subject to change without prior noticeOther restrictions may applyLess restrictive fares available."

To Whom It May Concern: Please be advised that I have in fact received my refund/credit of *** from Sky Lux Travel-*** ***

We have looked into this case, and this case is now resolved with Mr***Now his ticket shows 11/as return date
When Mr*** contacted us for the exchange, we informed changes are normally possible by paying an airline penalty plus any
fare difference (if any)We informed Mr*** we would need the new dates to provide the needed information
However, when Mr*** got back to us with the new dates, we could only process the change with a significant fare difference because we needed a days advance purchase for the same priceThe fare rules are set forth by the airlines, and Skylux has no power to override the restrictions
We suggested Mr*** to process his inbound change after he departs because he would then not be constrained to the days advance purchase requirementWe have now successfully changed his inbound dates and this case is now RESOLVED
