Extremely frustrating booking experience and no support
I had a terrible experience trying to book a SunExpress ticket for my father. I used my American Express card, which their website claims is accepted, but the payment failed twice—yet I was still charged both times. Each time I got an error message saying, “There was a problem with the payment registration,” and no ticket was issued. I contacted their customer service over web chat, and they just told me to try again or wait for a refund within 10 business days—no urgency, no real help. The second time I tried to book, the ticket price had increased, and to make matters worse, AmEx still didn’t work, so I ended up having to use a different card just to secure the ticket. In the end, I called them directly, hoping that could solve the issue faster and I could get the ticket from the original price I first paid, but they said they only make bookings with a Visa or Master card. SunExpress offered no compensation or price adjustment for their system failure. Very disappointed. A simple ticket booking should not take two hours of your time!
