craigt3365 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I've had terrible luck dealing with 3rd party ticket suppliers. Call the airline and many times they'll say there's nothing they can do as you booked via another agency. Call that agency and they are either unresponsive or charge a silly price to make the changes. And if a problem occurs, the airline tends to take care of those who booked directly with them, leaving you to figure out how to contact your travel agency while you are stranded in some foreign airport. For the small price difference, I always go direct with the airline. I know that doesn't help you...hope you get it worked out. Here's a review of that site. It isn't very good: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/flights24.com I'd call them. They seem to be based in Athens and you'll need to call when they are open during local hours.

CNXBKKMAN Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If you haven't started your travel yet you are still in the hands of the agent. Once you begin your travel changes like on the return sector can done with the airline. You might not have heard from the online agent because it's just been the weekend and a lot of travel firms and even airline offices shut after 12 noon on Saturday. Quite often especially with the lowest fares you might find the outbound date is fixed, it can't be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Always a good idea IME, when using a new travel-agent who you don't have experience with, to google on their name plus the word "problems". Good Luck sorting it out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually in Beijing in the middle of a trip when we arrived late and our connecting flight had already left. The airline first went to all their direct passengers and helped them out. A few of us had purchased tickets via a 3rd party. We were told to contact our travel agent...and then they left. We were stuck. Luckily, they came back after about an hour and started to help us. But it was strange for an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always amazes me when when say just for example you have a fully ticketed China Eastern reservation, for a China Eastern flight and the airline try's to claim its nothing to do with them. Sometimes you have to stand your ground and spell it out to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Tuft Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Not sure if it helps the OP, but China Eastern do fly out of Phuket. They should have an office there, or at least staff during check in. Not that it helps the OP's situation. Try posting on FlyerTalk, one of the travel boffins will have possibly have working contact details for MU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
