On 8/13/2024 I purchased two Delta Airlines tickets for $ 1356.80 each, totaling $ 2,713.60 for a trip to Sicily and Malta. On 2/19/2025 Delta Airlines informed me that I may incur a missed flight on my return flight from Malta at my connecting airport in Paris, France, so I contacted Delta Airlines to discuss my options. The agent who identified himself as a Delta agent told me I would need to book another flight with United Airlines. I questioned him on why I could not reschedule with Delta? I was told that Delta could not accommodate a satisfactory scheduling change and I should rebook another flight with United Airlines. I was told that I would receive a full refund from Delta in a week or ten days. I questioned him on how he could book another flight with United Airlines when he was a Delta agent? He told me that he worked at the International Center that specifically deals with scheduling conflicts and that they work with six different airlines. Due to this misrepresentation and the fact that my trip was approaching rapidly, I agreed to purchase a new and more expensive ticket. The United ticket was $ 3,989.90. When this charge appeared on my Chase credit card it was divided into three charges: United Airlines for $1,131.31, United Airlines for $1,131.31, and UA United Air Tickets for $1,727.28.
Over a week passed and I did not see a refund on my Chase credit card from Delta for the flight cancelation. I contacted Delta who informed me that I still had an active ticket with Delta and no refund was requested. At this point I realized that I was double booked for the same trip. I then cancelled the United reservation because it was more expensive and the Delta reservation was nonrefundable.
The booking agent Leonard, at FirstFly Travel LLC, 888-447-7389, EXT. Leonard, misrepresented himself as a Delta Airlines agent and did not disclose that $1,727.28 was part of the total ticket price of $ 3,989.90. He did not explain the $1,727.28 charge or any specific break down of this charge. I was only aware of this fraudulent charge after my credit card was charged. I would not knowingly pay a service charge of $1,727.28 to book a flight. Who in their right mind would do such thing?
I have attached documents as proof that I had a valid reservation with Delta Airlines and that I indeed completed that trip. I have also attached proof of the United Airlines cancellation confirmation and the subsequent credit received from United for the nonrefundable ticket.
This entire incident was a scam from the start with multiple misrepresentations. read more
