Some of you may have read my post from a couple of weeks ago re a booking I made via the Jetstar website. I attach a copy of part of the letter that I sent which is self explanatory.

Dear Sir
I write express my extreme disappointment with the Jetstar booking system.
In attempting to book online for various trips to/from Bali coms error messages occurred on a number of occasions. The messages read ' Coms error please try again later'.
On one occasion I did try again later and have been charged twice ($1186.17) for the one journey. No confirmatory booking email was forwarded for the first booking, but was for the second.
I telephoned your enquiry number and after some investigation I was told that the fare would be refunded. After waiting for nine days without response, I again called the enquiry number, to be told that a refund will take six weeks. I find this most unsatisfactory as I would have to bear the credit card interest cost incurred.
This overcharge was caused through no fault of my own. I just followed the instructions given.
The a****oles have not even had the decency to reply or contact me.
I think that I will take my chances with Air Paradise in future.
