In detail, *** made a changed for the connecting flight from *** to *** to a earlier schedule that made an misconnection between two filghts of the returning trip.Hotline for customer service couldnt connect; their partner offered a returning trip that would be 10 days after July 24.Because of living spending and work, I had to spend another ticket of another aircraft urgently.And *** called me after I made a complaint and said if I contacted them directly, they would offer me an alternatives in 2 days after. But how could I contact them? They also asked me about the amount of refund that their partner informed me. They didnt match.

    On October 25, 2023, my luggage was lost during a trip from ****** to ***********. EVA airline had agreed to pay a compensation of $200 and confirmed that the payment was sent out around Christmas in 2023. It has been 6 months and I still have not received the payment. I have made numerous attempts to contact the airline regarding the payment. The typical reply was "I need to check with the finance department." I have contacted them through phone and email. At this point, I believe that they are ignoring me and have not taken any steps to resolve this issue. I have attached all email correspondence with the airline regarding this issue.

    I am reaching out so that my complaint to the business does not go unnoticed. After a horrible experience with the airline --- particularly with the biased treatment of those who request wheelchair assistance --- I humbly request a response to my complaint email sent to ******************** on May 28, 2024 at 4:25AM eastern time. A terrible experience for a family who used EVA *** for the first time which has made a lasting impression of this airline service.

    Terrible, terrible customer service. They prompt you to call a reservations number for help which is never answered. Absolutely absurd that they direct customers to a number that they know is not staffed, there is no ability to even go on hold, and no ability to receive a call back.Stay away from this airline - if you have any issue at all, it will not be resolved, because it is impossible to make any changes online and impossible to get in touch with a human.

    I booked round trip tickets for my parents between *** and PEK, and needed to cancel the return trip. The airline intentionally overstayed the one-way ticket that was used and allocated 75% of the fare to the portion that was used ($820 out of $1,100 round trip tickets paid). When I booked the tickets I also searched the one-way tickets to compare prices, the one way ticket was only about $100 more. They are not able to provide the detail support to justify the amount used and refused to refund. Also, an agent from ******* Reservations and ******************** called me and yelling at me saying I didn't calculated the refund correctly while the refund detail they provided had multiple mathematic errors. They are extremely unprofessional and rude towards their customers.

    I purchased an airline ticket for a flight on 10/23/2023 for $1451.95. They charged me on 10/23/2023 and 11/1/2023 for the same ticket. I spoke to them about getting a refund. They have not given me a refund yet. They told me I can use it for a credit for another flight, but I would rather have the refund. They told me it would take awhile, but it has been over four months, and I still do not have my refund.

    I am trying to use EVA Airlines miles to purchase a ticket from ****** to *******************). Before transferring miles from my credit card to Eva **** I called on Feb-16 to check the availability of the flight, which the attendant confirmed. After the transfer 248k miles *********** miles (186k EVA ***** Feb-19, ***'s website had more requirements to complete tge purchase of two seats. I had to create a profile for my daughter and sign up for the electronic services. After completion, on Feb-21, when I was about to make the reservation, the website indicated that I did not have enough miles and asked to purchase more (23k miles for USD 644), which I did based on the availability shown by the search page. On the same day, when I was finally able to complete the booking, with the flight results retrieved by the search page, *** Air indicated that the flight was not available. Meaning, I need to go through the whole process to check the award availability. I don't think this process is fair to the customer and I kindly asked *** Air to consider the refund of the purchased miles, since the site was showing and is showing available flights and also to revert my miles back to my credit card.Unfortunately, they said it cannot be refunded nor ***** returned to my credit card.

    First of all, thank you for this platform. My English is not very good, so I use translation software to help me express the content of the complaint. The one-way ticket to ****** at 0:05 Eastern Time on February 9, 2024 was purchased through a third-party credit card. The amount is the upgrade payment provided by EVA **** Due to a slight accident before departure, my right foot was injured and I had abdominal pain, so I couldnt walk very smoothly. The airline refused to let me get on the plane. I had already passed the customs inspector. The EVA ****** staff asked the doctor over the phone to see if my condition would allow me to board the plane. I already stated that I had rested and the injured area was fine. The EVA ****** staff asked me to stand up and let him look at me, and then take two steps to let her look at me. I thought this was very disrespectful to me, but I did it anyway. This lady still refused to let me board the plane. Please tell me why I was insulted and had to stand up and take two steps to show him that I was fine. In the end, I was still unable to board the Evergreen flight. The ****** service customer service asked me to provide a doctors diagnosis certificate, but it was a ******* New Year and there was a weekend! All agencies are in a state of rest. I contacted the customer service staff of EVA **** US ****************** on the morning of February 9, 2024. Unfortunately, they did not care about the feelings of consumers. I feel that they insulted my dignity and spirit. The tormenting physical pain... I wonder if the organization can help me? Thank you for your patience in reading this!Because of my fathers disease, I will take the ***** Airlines direct flight to ****** at 11:25 pm on February 10, 2024. The return ticket will be on April 30, 2024 to ******** *** Airport.I paid by credit card for the upgrade. I paid the airline and submitted the total amount.

    I received a refund letter from *** airways, but my bank card was lost during travels. Therefore, I never received any of the refund. The ticket number is *************. I sent them email, and called their number. They never replied and their customer service line was not once available. Even the contact link from the refund letter is broken. Its been since the end of 2022, Im never going to get this money. The total price is $889.07, but refund was for half. I will never fly again using *** if I do not reserve refund. Please make this right, I like ****** and used you guys at least 3 or 4 times until this happened.

    I purchased 5 tickets from ****** to ***, 2 adults and 3 children through OOJO ************** After ticket booked, I realized later that I left out my children middle name. I called *** Air to request to add middle name to the ticket and was told to contact ****. I contacted **** on the correction and around midnight yesterday received 2 calls from them but didn't pick up, although did woke me up from my sleep. I then saw email from OOJO that *** Air is charging $50/ticket for name change. I called *** to express that $150 to add middle name is quite expensive and if they would willing to reduce the fee since I have 3 people to make the change. *** Air was not willing and to me charging that much when they could probably charge $50 for all at once or shouldn't be charged at all. Anyway, I'm disappointed with *** Air and hopefully BBB can help me with this matters. Thank you for your help!***************************
