      We purchased two tickets from ******** costing $608 for my wife and I to fly from ******, ***** to ********* from May 1st, 2024 to May 7th, 2024 with layovers in *******, ******* on both legs of the itinerary. The first layover was supposed to be ******************************************************************************** *******. However, we received an email from Kiwi.com more than one month before our flight that the airline changed the take off time from ****** to 4:30am (the original time was 4:00am on May 1st, 2024), so we will not have enough time to catch our second flight to *********. They gave us two options via email. Request a refund or choose another ticket with a substantial mark up. We requested a refund via email. The following day we received an email from Kiwi.com stating we will not be refunded at all. We called them and they reiterated that they will NOT be refunding us our payment. The airline and our bank told us that we would have to resolve the issue directly with kiwi.com since they are a third party travel agency. Please assist us in getting our refund?

      Booking ID ********* Issue Date 2023-09-03 Total $164.65 **** admitted to having an issue with connectivity with ****** Airlines. On 9/3/2023 they informed me that my return flight in ****** was canceled and made me but a new ticket with Delta for $164.65. However, it turns out my original flight was NOT cancelled. The reservations for both airlines were active.On 10/7/2023, it happened again and I had to buy a new ticket for &****** on the exact same flight that was in fact NOT cancelled.I returned on my original flight, not in Delta. I made a claim to Kiwi for the additional expenses due to their system. **** agreed to pay for the extra departing flight of $******, but refused to refund the extra unnecessary flight for the returned flight.The additional, unnecessary expenses were caused by Kiwis system issues.

      A flight I purchased on behalf of a worker was cancelled by strikes in ******. OVER A YEAR LATER they are telling me they were refunded and when asked how I would like refund I indicated ORIGINAL FORM OF PAYMENT. However, They broke up the refund into portions, and only refunded a small portion and are keeping hostage the rest of my refund on their site in credit form. I want my money back! This is atrocious as the airlines refunded them along time ago and they are withholding my money.
