Still waiting for e-tickets to be issued. After-purchase pages could be more helpful, such as Next Steps or What to Expect

I haved booked a return trip from Dallas to Delhi which was scheduled on May 10 and the schedule of the flight changed. So they gave me the alternative option which isn't fitting my schedule. So the customer service representative cancelled the flight and initiated the full refund process. He has also emailed me about the refund and said that the refund will be processed shortly and now they are saying they are denying the refund. My flight is on May 10. Also, StudentUniverse has been at fault innumerable times in our case. First of all you guys do not inform us about any flight changes i. E., cancellation of our flight.It is we who saw the changes and got back to you just getting to know this only 1 week prior from scheduled departure.

Secondly, after bringing it to your notice we were being on call with you for next 48 hours calling your representatives to give us feasible options. The only feasible options you people have is either flight requiring transit visa or which are out of my schedule which we cannot arrange within span of 7 days for our travel.

Then by evening after talking with your multiple representatives you give us the option of flight cancellation with full refund we asked Eric 5 times and he said yes mam we confirm. Even we asked for a proof via mail because we really didn't believed you guys by then.And yes, this is the behavior we are getting from you for the third time. If you guys guarantee a customer that you will refund the entire money how can you come back to us after 2 days saying that you deny it.

I think StudentUniverse do have respect in market and you have some ethicalness or credibility.Or else this organization is really suffering from ethical issues. As a student you have harassed us to the extreme end during our exam times and now you don't want to refund our money also. I think if you guys give me any further trouble i will definitely carry bad word for you within entire student community so that no one can further trust StudentUniverse.

We just need back our money as assured by you. You cannot go back on your words. Please have some respect for your customers. This is the worst way in which organizational ethics are being applied.

Hi Kashish,
We're really sorry to hear about the frustration you've experienced after your flight got cancelled. We'd really love to look into this for you and see if we can do anything else to help. Of course, we are bound by the ticket rules and regulations set by the airline, but if you DM us your email address or StudentUniverse reservation code, we'd be happy to look into this for you and see what else we can do.

These people are liars and they hire people to write 5 star reviews about them. They do not honor their guarantees.

Tip for consumers:
They are liars. They did not honor their refund guarantee even though I cancelled well in advance.

Hi, StudentUniverse did not guarantee any free cancellation regarding your booking, especially with a budget airline and we do display rules and limitations for such flights. If you meant the travel insurance, we suggest you contact the insurance company directly for compensation. We do not hire people to write 5 star reviews for us; if we do, we could have paid to get your review removed. However, we do guarantee that we did not and will not pay to write good reviews or remove negative ones.
