I booked a reservation for 4 to Africa and two of our flights were cancelled. No one has been in touch with me to answer any of our questions and when I was promised by the rebooking department that they would get back to me if I had any concerns, no one did. I contacted as many people as I could with still no response.

False advertising Will not respect cancellation policy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Booked a flight that can be cancelled up to 3 hours before departure. It says it clearly on the site when booking and again in the confirmation email.

Decided to cancel my trip due to rising concerns over new PANDEMIC variant and new governmental restrictions.

They refuse to refund or credit me.

Talked to 2 associates, and 1 supervisor. All very rude and close-minded to any resolution.

Terrible customer experience.

Would rate minus one - had to contact DOT & ABC Action news to give us help to get our refund. LBF just kept telling us to wait

Thought we booked with Travelers Help Desk but it was LBF. They have a California address but are in India.

Airlines cancelled & they rebooked us on a more expensive flight ($941.68 more)

Had to fight to get refund for luftansa cancelled flights.

Our trip was also cancelled due to COVID, was offered a credit, I agreed, then took a month of phone calls, emails to finally get somebody to actually help me. Did get a refund but not the amount agreed upon. So now the fight continues to get the balance, Bunch of low life scammers who dont give a *** about you

LBF exceed the Travel Scam Business

We Booked international flights this coming Jan. 2022 with LBF Travel from Auckland to Brisbane and From Fiji to LA.

As expected COVID has cancelled all our plans. Called on Sept. 16 requesting cancellation options. Was expecting the non-refundable speech and we can offer flight credit for future use.

Of the $4K we spent for international travel with LBF.

I got the scam offer of a travel lifetime

LBF Travel offered $1200 refund and based what I'm reading about pissed off customers I will never see that. But here was the kicker.

We will hold your flight credit until Dec. 2022 for an ADDITIONAL $550.

Let the fight begin.
