Sir,

Subject: Regarding ticket booking issue

I booked my tickets to Copenhagen on December 21st 2012. The Booking number is – 14342768 and the E ticket number is: 1082579499584/85. The customer care agent Princess helped me to book the ticket.

I asked the agent about visas before booking the ticket and she said that I would not require a US visa for this flight. Because of this assurance, I did not investigate visa requirements any further, since I had no reason to doubt the advice given to me by Princess.

When I arrived at Vancouver airport (on 10th Feb 2013) I was shocked when I was told by the airline that I need a US Visa because the flight stopped in Seattle on the way to Copenhagen. Then I had to buy an expensive ticket to Copenhagen in a different flight. That cost me $1990. I received a 466 dollars refund for cancelling my ticket. But I do not feel that this was enough.

Being a student from a poor family this is very huge amount for me to afford, but the trip to Copenhagen is a required program for my degree and if I did not go I would not be able to graduate.

I was not given the correct information and I feel that I was cheated by the agent. It would be very helpful if you can look into this issue and help me get my money refunded.

Thank you,

    Case was closed on Feb 25, 2013, traveler booked this online, therefore never inquired what documents needed for travel. He was explained this on Feb. 25, and CheapOair processed a refund for a portion due to his inconvenience, customer was satisfied with the resolution. CheapOair.com does provide a Visa, Passport link for our traveler's convenience, we do not advise over the phone what is needed, we direct them to this link.
