“BIGEEST SCAM. They cancelled a flight and instead of refund they gave me a voucher which I have 6 months to use it. I am a cardiac arrest survivor and my doctor has asked me to not travel until further notice. I phoned them and asked them to refund my money as I am clinically vulnerable to travel. They said you must travel within the next 6 months otherwise you will lose your £1,100 worth of booking. If it's not a scam, please tell me what it is.”

“No support, no email response and they tried to keep my payments during pandemic by replying to Amex that the hotel and the flights were still valid, even though Emirates sent email saying "Flight Cancellation" and the hotel was closed for 2 months. I am waiting for officials to remove their license. How they still operate? If you read the reviews online, you will find that everyone has the same experience.”

“I had booked flight tickets through lastminute after which I read the reviews and they were generally bad to say the least. I was anxious if I would get a refund if I had to cancel. Eventually I did have to cancel the tickets and I was really stressed and thought I'd lose my money but to my surprise the customer care was incredibly helpful. I had to try a few numbers to get to talk to someone. In under 5 mins my cancellation request was approved and received confirmation and refund options 3 days later in which they mentioned it might take up to 2 months to get the refund in my account. It took them only 5 days to refund :). The entire experience was swift and hassle free, completely opposite to the reviews I came across”

“I booked a flight for june 2020 to thailand .even paid extra for full flex insurance .what a mistake .have tried to book a flight for November 2021 using voucher and the website just keeps refusing me .have spoke to customer care by email and they just kept going round in circles and basically doing nothing .spoke to them by phone they said that yes my voucher was valid but they would have to get somebody to ring me back to resolve problem .nobody ever rang back .same answer when rang again .would advise everybody to forget last minute .com but if can't then definitely refuse to pay extra for full flex insurance .”

“Awful, absolutely awful. DO NOT USE!!!! This site is a scam, and I’ll tell you why. They cancelled my holiday, I asked for my refund, and they want me to PAY £92.45, and won’t even refund me. Their customer service is disgusting. I would give them nothing if I could. Do not use, save your money and time!”

“The worst company to book a holiday with, booked a holiday for October 2020, which was also my wedding, obviously with covid, it got cancelled. I emailed them a few times near to the holiday to try find it if it had been cancelled, so I could let the wedding venue know, they kept saying they'd be in touch, in the end I contacted Virgin who we were flying with to ask them, it had been cancelled, emailed them to ask about a refund, obviously didn't expect my money back straight away with everything going on. Got part of my refund december 2020, after lots of phone calls and emails, emailed them to ask why I hadn't got the full amount they replied saying that it was the amount I was due back, so I called them they then changed there reply to that's the flight money back, they were still waiting for the hotel money back. I emailed the hotel, they said they hadn't heard from last minute.com at all. I did some research and found out regardless of what money last minute.com get back from the flights/hotel etc they have a duty to pay their customers back the full amount. After phone calls and emails getting fobbed off everytime, I got an email in February 2021 saying the rest of my refund would be paid to me soon. After about 2 weeks I got the money in my account, to find about £300/£400 still missing, I called again, they said with booking fees that's the amount I'm owed, I asked how much booking fees were they said about £20 per person, with two people that doesn't add up, they came out with more excuses, I don't think I'm gonna get the rest back, lesson learnt, won't be using them again, just wanted to warn others.”

“Sometimes, when you think that they sell cheaper tickets, it's just a foolish... don't bother buying anything from lastminute.com, they simply doesn't solve your problems and get some new ones! Due to the pandemic of coronavirus, i am not allowed to travel to norway, since frontiers are closed to foreign people... So, i tried to rebook a flight, which was supposed to be made by airfrance airline company! The hotel changed my stay,to some months after, however, when i tried to do the same in lastminute.com, they asked me for 800€ (???) really?? where did this value came from??? If i'd book new tickets in airfrance directly on the airline company, it would cost me half of that money... So, beside they are not being polite, they are a fraudulent company! after contacted the customer support, they keep telling me that airfrance charges them that value, which is not true, if lastminute let it, they would change the flight and even provide me a 26€ voucher!!! .... Shame!!!”

“Quite simply avoid. No means of communication with them, refunds not provided after Covid flight cancellation and have now removed my booking from the booking history online. Dreadful company.”

“i made booking with them. Then i asked for refund or reschedule my booking before 24 hours as per terms and conditions.I called them, sent them emails but no response until it was too late.The reason i asked them to reschedule or refund because they did not confirm my booking while they from my credit card. The worst thing they reply to customer, Never again and I warn everybody to be careful and don't waist your money.”

“If you have booked a flight with this bunch of jokers then good luck getting your money back even when the airline cancels the flight. Would never use this company again.”

“Avoid avoid avoid this disgusting company with no morals. The fullflex is fake, the refund policy is a sham and the change of flights is a con! Booked a flight Heathrow to Islamabad on lastminute.com for approximately £750 with fullflex (if u want to cancel you get 90% voucher with no questions asked). OUTGOING Had to change outgoing date so asked for fullflex 90% back. They gave £510 (68%) voucher saying fullflex is for 90% of flight and doesn't include taxes etc. What a joke. RETURN LEG 4 days before the return, rang to delay the return leg. Lastminute.com said because you have fullflex there are no fees or charges, we will only charge for any change in ticket price after we have spoken to the airline. After lots of chasing, 3 days later (day before flight), they rang back and said the difference in flight will be £947 which is the airlines costs and if you don't accept you are in your final 24 hours so we can't change anything else. You are having a laugh!! This is more than a return and has Left me in a right mess. I explained I can book a single ticket on British Airways website for less than 1/4 of the price. They said no this is the price that will be charged. I was livid and cut them off. CONCLUSION I rang British Airways and explained. They charged £39 for the exact same flight for which I was being charged £947 by lastminute.com who were trying to make me desperate. Dispicable. Dont know what use lastminute.com are, should have booked directly with the airline.”

“My hotel was closed, due to the pandemic and my booking was cancelled. 4 months later, after numerous emails, and attempts to phone them, I still have no refund. I am being completely ignored, just receiving a generic 'your refund is being processed' email. Disgusting level of customer service. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!”

“I would not rate this company even 1 star, but I wasn't able to do that here. NEVER book anything through Lastminute.com as they are a despicable company with appalling if no customer service! I booked a return trip consisting of 3 flights each way and when one of these flights was cancelled they refused to book me an alternative flight, having first given me the option to do so. As a result I was unable to travel on the day my booking was for, because I was not allowed to board my 2 ongoing flights either. They have far too much control with your flight schedules. I had to rebook and pay for all 3 flights the next day and when 2 of my return flights were also cancelled, they insisted that they were still operating, despite it being announced on the national news. The lies I was told in their emails are outrageous. I made over 20 phone calls and sent over 20 emails to their 'so-called' customer care, which were all a complete waste of my time and money. Lastminute should be stopped from trading altogether!”

“They impose an insurance on my flight which i cancelled within 20 minutes of the booking. Since the 15th of December, i have called the customer service more than 10 times they will give different stories. This is total Scam. Daylight rubbery. Stay away from this company”

“Had to cancel my trip due to covid, only to be told i couldnt get a refund, despite the government restrictions on flying. Their customer service is as much use as a chocolate teapot, actually less useful as you could eat a chocolate teapot”

“Booked a trip prior in Jan 2020 for Nov 2020 however due the the pandemic I was unable to travel Have received a refund for the hotel and transfer but still having issues getting a refund for the flights! British Airways are always really helpful when I call but because it wasn't booked direct with them I'm always pointed back to the worst customer service in the world! LM always fob the problem off to BA but when I tell them I've already spoken with them, the story changes and I'm told different information! BA have issued a travel voucher however this has to be used through LM telephone booking service rather than direct with BA or online with LM - When I call LM, they again try to fob it off to BA and then tell me and when I give them the BA information I'm then told someone from the sales department will call me. This has got to be the most incompetent company I have EVER dealt with and the staff are so unfriendly and unhelpful its unreal!”

“My flight was cancelled in July 2020 and Lastminute.com have held my refund since then arguing that until the airline refunds them they won't refund me. In september they told me the process could take up to 2 months. We're in January and still no update. Can't get through on the phone. As a single mother in such difficult times I definitely needed the money from the refund and feel disgusted by the way Lastminute.com are treating me.”

“AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!! Customer service they have definitely NOT got!!! When there is a problem they just close the door on you . If you book a holiday and something goes wrong do not expect a refund and say goodbye to your money . They just don’t want to know . No wonder why they went bust and now set up as cowboys . Please please people choose a reputable company because these muppets won’t be around forever.”
