Clearly the company operates from India (customer services/bookings) yet does not comply with UK requirements regarding customer service in controlling a client's reservation with airlines. I note that one of the key directors of the UK company Truly Travel Ltd has indian nationality. SO FULL SERVICE? NOT ON YOUR LIFE! This is a very poor company whose staff are trained NEVER (I asked 6 times where my online chat agent was writing from - INDIA). I could cope with that IF THEY TOOK THEMSELVES OFF CONTROL of my airline booking. This is a firm who likes to take your money but when no real money is made in handling your booking, they drop you despite requirement. Call to hotel came 4 hours later by which time I had already made a new reservation at unnecessary cost directly with airline as NO FAITH in Teletext (or Truly Travel Ltd). Went back online pm that day promised call within an hour. I contact Teletext again to be advised they would call me within the hour. Got online first thing next day having already ascertained from the airline that there was availability and price of seats tried to make booking change utilising the 50 euro charge for admin but said that Teletext were the only authorised party as they 'controlled the booking'. Here's a quick and simple example of how NEVER to place a booking thro Teletext: in seeking to extend my stay abroad I contacted the ENTITY known as Teletext who,after 30 mins 'live chat' said 'huge chats' so someone would call me back.
