Sunwing has a bunch of scammers working in Jamaica beware donвЂ™t book tour with them

Never on time. Who ever is in charge should quit. Or fire their employees Needs a huge shackup

Complete idiots it will be better when west jet takes over these morons have no idea

Sunwing saves money on immigration connections so they ask you for EVA 1h before the flight, without any assistance and help.Other companies doesn't Sunwing never again

04 February 2023 09:02:00Guest

They cancelled our flight and refund was supposed to be within 30 days. Never happened. Now going to credit card company and ultimately the regulator. Sucks.

30 December 2022 07:12:00Guest

Come on Sunwing and our government. The inhumane treatment of passengers when there are cancellations, substantiated or not, has to be reassessed asap. Bring back customer service and respect passenger rights or get out of the industry

27 December 2022 06:12:00Guest

Disgraceful treatment of passengers, nobody should ever book a flight with them. Unfit to be in the industry. Unfortunately canвЂ™t rate them zero

25 December 2022 07:12:00Maia

Had the worst experience ever (I have been on more then 20 different airlines in my life).Our flight was delayed due to weather conditions to the next day, for them to tell us afterwards that there are now technical issues with the flightвЂ¦This is ridiculous I will never book with them again!

21 December 2022 08:12:00ozlem

disgusting airlines. We are sick of their unprofessional approach and delays

21 December 2022 12:12:00Guest

delays, delays and more delays - very poorly organizeddisrespectful crewterrible experience

They lie about the price of the all inclusive. When you arrive to the hotel there are fees that are mandatory.

19 December 2022 01:12:00Guest

5 hours delay we lost 1 day of our vacation package

Sunwing is a nightmare without customer service whatsoever.

Winnipeg traveller here. Brutal customer service. Brutal airline. Avoid like the plague.

Guest : We cancelled our Sunwing vacation and have been told we'll receive the full amount via an emailed voucher to put towards rebooking the trip. They said it should be emailed to us in the next few weeks. Has anyone experienced this and can you tell me how long it took you to receive the voucher through email? What did the voucher look like and did they apply it automatically when you phoned Sunwing to rebook your trip? I got a voucher for a trip a few years ago. The voucher came by email and I had no issues with using it. You must use it within a year though. Typical Sunwing though, the trip back to Canada was delayed for hours. We were stuck in a plane for 4 hrs.

19 April 2022 11:04:00Guest

Sunwing is a scam. Avoid at all costs.

Funny how they can take a payment instantly, yet even to use an issued voucher there is a wait to get reimbursed (Credit Card), Huh. Pretty much zero instruction how to properly use the voucher in their online booking, and just pray that the voucher took. Looked high and low over the internet to get some concrete info on how the whole process worked, and found pretty much zero. Their website FAQ was absolutely useless. Hopes & prayers that the rest of hard working people who have their money being held hostage for no apparent reason, can get some sort of resolution.

I have been waiting for my travel voucher from Sunwing for almost 3 months now. I purchased the "worry-free cancellation insurance" and cancelled my trip 2 weeks before departure. Was told it would take 4-6 weeks to process the voucher and would be sent to me via email. It is now almost 9 weeks and no voucher. When I've called sunwing, I was speaking to someone who was looking into it and the line dropped. I called back and the lady magically said that my information wasnt in their system. I called back to speak to someone else, this time my information was In fact in their system and was able to see that I had the cancellation insurance but said because the trip was booked through a travel agent I needed to speak to them and have them reach out to sunwing. I bought the insurance through sunwing directly and not through the agent. This is unacceptable!

They tell me that because the transaction was originally processed over 18 months ago, Sunwing itself can't process the refund, and they are waiting on the "credit card processor".

Guest : Anyone know whats going on, Sunwing just cancelled our trip for March 16. Are they going belly up or what? So anyone know how long a refund will actually take as they cancelled the trip?They cancelled mine as well, offering a full refund within "4 days", now being told that the accounting has a huge backlog and every refund is delayed to at least 8 weeks! This is easy enough to understand since they are still selling the same package and I'm guessing calling the customers back within 3 days to cancel!!!!

17 February 2022 02:02:00Guest

I cancelled on the Dec 15 with worry-free insurance 90 days before trip date and opted for the full refund. They said 5 days to receive the credit. Then they said it was being processed and there was a back log. Then they said it was submitted and approved, but due to backlog, accounting cues are taking longer. Still nothing. Called 6 times. Guest : Guest : Richard Smith : SUNWING DOES NOT HONOR ITS TRAVEL INSURANCE!!!!!!! I purchased a trip with Sunwing and bought the Worry Free Cancellation Waiver. When I tried to rebook the trip then Sunwing would not honor the voucher and said weeks after the cancellation that it was still processing. Would not tell me how long to process and told me to repay for another booking in full. This is dishonest, false advertising and against what they say on the website as Worry free. They charge for this insurance but will not honor it. Also the worst customer service I have ever experienced.HI,Are you still waiting? We cancelled on Dec 17th and still no voucher!! I cancelled my trip on Dec 20th and I am still waiting for the voucher. I was told 5-10 days and then 4-6 weeks. It's been 6 weeks not with no resolution in sight.

Vouchers dont work if the airline used in your package is anything other than sunwing airlines. EVERY PACKAGE FROM MY CITY IS NOT SUNWING.

09 February 2022 02:02:00Guest

Has anyone had any luck with initiating a chargeback via their credit card company? I'm debating starting a claim after my trip is over.

09 February 2022 02:02:00Guest

Been waiting on a voucher for almost a month and a half now. Had to rebook as I was told I could "use my new voucher towards my new booking". Nice to know the company is getting interest on my thousands of dollars at stake. Terrible company honestly.

Guest : How long are Future Travel Credits taking to process now? WeвЂ™ve been told 2-4 weeks, 6 weeks, and up to 12 weeks on three separate calls.They also told us we can apply it to a new trip coming up without yet receiving the voucher - has anyone done this successfully? Sunwing just told me I could book a new trip (and pay for it again) and then send the new booking number and the old booking number to Sunwing and then once the voucher is ready they will put it against the new booking number. That process would take 4-6 weeks. I've already been waiting 6 weeks for my voucher with no end in sight!!!

Our vacation to Cayo Santa Maria was just cancelled by Sunwing 3 weeks prior to our departure from Halifax. We got full refund and rebooked flying out of Toronto at a later date. Fingers crossed this goes ahead.

31 January 2022 05:01:00Guest

Several years ago we had to cancel days before our Sunwing vacation. We did eventually get our voucher for the full amount and we used it for the following yearвЂ™s vacation. I can just imagine with Covid how many cancellations there have been in the last two years.

I have pretty much the same issue. They said that we could reschedule within a 12 month time frame of the original booked trip without losing our deposit. However I was not able to find anything in November as it seems to be that there is nothing available later than May 5th or so.I asked for an in-store credit for the deposit so that I can book once flights are available for November, but was turned down as I have to cancel since what I like to book is not available. The lady in the cancellation department said that they schedule only 6 months ahead.1. May is way less than 6 months, there should be availability until July.2. We booked or travel for March last year July or August. How is this 6 month?I feel as if they are a pack of liars! I would like to get an credit so that I can book for November. When they have availability 6 month ahead, I would even be okay that this expires in June or so - in the case that I wouldn't book even though there are vacation packages.I also had an issue with that price guarantee included. That had to be "enrolled" in within a week and was not pointed out at all. When the trip got a lot cheaper, that insurance was no longer available as well.Rip off- really! Nothing is "WORRY FREE", everything is hidden so nobody gets it at first sight. Shame on them, this was our first vacation we ever booked since 2000 and it feels like never trying it again as this looks as if this is my first and last time! Sad, as they came highly recommended!What a scam! I think they are going bankrupt and are trying to rip off anyone on the way.Pat Richard Smith : SUNWING DOES NOT HONOR ITS TRAVEL INSURANCE!!!!!!!

Me and a friend had a trip booked to Mexico, he got cold feet a few months ago and cancelled. I got 50% money back and 50% credit. Now my friend has decided he wants to go again, and they won't let me use the credit because it has my name on it! It is the same person who canceled before!

The reply I just received from Sunwing support: "I reached out to the refund team and they advised the refund is still pending with the credit card processer. It should be refunded within the next 6 weeks." So I'm waiting up to 6 months possibly for my refund. Absolutely ridiculous. How can it take this long?

Stay away! I am currently dealing with Sunwing on a vacation for the end of November to Grenada. They changed us to an air Canada flight and tried to add 820.00 to our bill and also cancelled the insurance at had already purchased saying it was no longer valid because we are flying with Air Canada now. They will not give me my Air Canada booking number so we cannot book our seats. I have called 4 times being put on hold for hours and emailed twice. Air Canada says we are not on the passenger roster. I think Sunwing is lying about the flight.. We also waited all thru the pandemic for a refund from them and they finally offered it at the end of June after all the other airlines had already done this. I wish I had asked for the refund. Sunwing sucks. Kathleen : Hi - Was going to book a AI with Sunwing for Feb 2022. I called CAA travel agent. She said they DO NOT deal with Sunwing! I was shocked to say the least. I asked why? She said they do not have good business practices. I told her I had gone with Sunwing before and had no problems. I then asked her if this was because of COVID and she said no it was way before that. That is all I got out of her. I told I had would have to rethink and hung up. Now I do not know what to think. Also the hotel and destination and I am looking at through Sunwing is $1000 cheaper than WestJet. Makes you wonder what is going on. If CAA will not deal them there is definately something wrong going on. Will they take our money and not deliver?

Teri : We are at almost 120 days from submitting a claim for a refund. I canвЂ™t grasp why it takes 1/3rd of a year to process a refund, when it takes 1/3rd of a minute to initially charge the same card.Over 120 now. This is ridiculous. I canвЂ™t get a hold of anyone.

Only just over a week to fold. Yet I still think your guesstimate of Oct is pretty good. Before the end of 2021 in any case. Guest : SUNWING has a big problem and it's not the money at this time. They have hundreds of unfiled job's as everyone is leaving sinking ship. They are not flying due to labor shortages therefore no income so they are using government hand out to survive. Next is step will be selling off Royalton resorts. TUI has offered a buy out few months ago but family said no. I'd say October is the date to say goodbye to Sunwing.

19 October 2021 07:10:00KnR

Guest : IsnвЂ™t it amazing that they take your money instantly but then ask for 12 weeks to give a refund? And this is AFTER getting a bailout. Seems obvious to me that they took the bailout money into their account and are holding to insure executive bonuses are paid and then paying us, the poor consumer, from proceeds of future vacation sales. Disgusting business practices!! We've been waiting 16 weeks now... terrible

EDocs are not ready to print and we leave Nov 5. PC Travel booked our vacation and Sunwing is the provider of the flights and shuttles. They have not acknowledged receiving the payment PC Travel says and Sunwing says itвЂ™s not paid yet. Waiting due to employee shortage I think.

06 October 2021 11:10:00Guest

I submitted my request through my travel agent on June 25th. Still havenвЂ™t got my money back. When it was first announced they said 60 days, then 90. Now they are telling me 120 days. ThatвЂ™s quickly approaching. ItвЂ™s ridiculous how long this is taking. Guest : I submitted my refund request through my travel agent second week of July and so far have received nothing. Sunwing website basically says that if you booked through an agent there's no mechanism to contact them directly. Has anyone who booked through an agent succeeded in talking to sunwing directly?

03 October 2021 03:10:00Guest

I was just about to book a sunwing vacation package as they were very low price for the same hotel across different providers (Air Can, West jet etc) but reading your comments....are people not booking with them? Wouldn't your $500 deposit be covered by credit card insurance if they folded?
