Be very wary & careful when you use online agencies.  You may get hit with extra fees, plus poor service!  My husband and I recently reserved tickets through TravelPapa.com.  They not only charged hidden additional fees to my credit card, but they also failed to make the correct bookings.  We ended up being placed in totally different seats for all of our flights (regardless of our online flight choices) and our meal selections were not on the airline's list.

Be careful when you book through TravelPapa - you might get some unpleasant surprises!

I booked a holiday with them and had a really good price for a 4 star holiday in a hotel highly rated on trip advisor. As soon as I had payed them, I get an email saying that they have contract issues with that hotel and they can offer me an alternative. This turned out to be completely different in quailty and class i.e 36 and 32 out of 42 on trip advisor for example. The alternatives were simply not good enough. They were very unhelpful and didnt care or reply to emails . I was then told that if the holiday was cancelled I would only have the hotel part refunded and that I would still keep the flights booked. They refused to refund the whole holiday and said that the flights were non refundable. so it was = pay much more for a hotel of a lower class than that already booked and paid for, accept a poor hotel as a straight swap or loose about a thrid of the money already paid. Beware of any deal offered by these con artists. My advice = stay away from these cowboys.

I bought my ticket with travel papa and they added a $20 service fee. Not happy about this. Off course they are impossible to talk to on the phone.

I want to warn everyone about using this travel agency!! I booked a return plane ticket through this agency, and on the day that I'm supposed to fly out I'm told by the airport staff that I can't be found in the system. Basically my ticket is not valid, because my travel agency only gave me a reservation number and not a ticket number. So all I can do is to go home. There's no way I can get in touch with the agency at that time. My boyfriend finally gets in touch with them on chat, and after he's been on chat with them for 2 hours, they finally come up with a ticket number for me. I'm already on the train back from the airport, and check-in closes in 10 minutes. So I have no way of making it because of their mistakes. They told me that my ticket was gone basically. They won't take responsibility for this, even though they clearly made the mistake. I talked to the airline myself and they rebooked my ticket for me free of charge, because it was not my fault. I told this to Travelpapa, and now they are threatening me to pay for the ticket again, and if I don't, they will make sure it's cancelled. I will never use these crooks again!! They are unprofessional, untrustworthy and I'm shocked by how I've been treated by them. I travel frequently and I've never experienced anything like this before!
