Our comment from TraTraTravel about Universal Travel Inc:

Universal Travel Inc is a travel agency that has garnered mixed feedback from its clients. While some customers appreciate the knowledgeable and friendly staff who provide great customer service and help find the best fares, others have reported significant issues with communication and customer support.

Notable positive aspects include:

  • Reliable customer service
  • Knowledgeable agents
  • Competitive pricing
  • Assistance with ticket bookings and changes

However, several users have expressed dissatisfaction regarding:

  • Lack of responsiveness and communication from the staff
  • Confusion and misinformation regarding flight changes and cancellations
  • Inconvenient experiences when trying to retrieve information or resolve issues

The agency has been praised for quick service and for being helpful during emergencies, but it is also advised for potential customers to proceed with caution and ensure clear communication before finalizing travel plans.

Negative experience: I am very disappointed at this company. They charged me more than agreed. I called to dispute and the person that I spoke to said it’s Sunday and they are closed. I told him I could not wait as these pending charges would post. Then he told me someone would call me back. Then no one called me back, so I called back again then he hung up on me while trying to explain to him. We tried to called again after that and no longer pick the phone up and now it is just going straight to voicemail: I had to cancel my credit card company in panic! Which I did NOT want to do as that is my core credit. I paid half in cash already. I will update after I connect with them tomorrow. You told me to trust you and I trusted you, and you did this! Unbelievable!

Fantastic experience: Good quotes. You can also call over the phone to get quotes. Charges processing fee if you use credit or debit card to pay. Bring cash or zelle, and you will save on processing fees! Otherwise they have enough staff to attend to you in a very short time possible.

Negative experience: Called on phone for pricing and was treated beyond rude by a guy that told me to pick a specific date he didn't have time to check the best price over a 3-4 day window. Apparently the service has changed from what is used to be. Update - I can understand if someone does not have time at that moment. But normal people would have said let me look it up when I have a minute and I will call you back. The fact that this business took 3 years to even reply to my initial review proves my point. Typical - I would have expected better considering my famlly had previously spent close to $100k on travel arrangements with this company.

Negative experience: Don't want to mentioned to much, but it was not a good experience and we did ask and confirm before we bought the ticket from you that we want to buy a ticket from an airline which accept 2 checked bags, we didn't even said that it has to be cheap!!! So sorry for this review, it was for my 78+ mom and it was HUGE miss-communication!! Please listen people and care their needs!! please accept the mistake as well! It's not that hard! Thank you.

Negative experience: This place is nothing but a ghost selling. Please don't bring your money to the them. They sold to me a ticket and just less then 24 hours they changed flight. They didn't call me or emailed me. I have to laid off for 8 hours in different places. So just to be sure they didn't like to tell the changes so they can keep they money. More people from to Somalia also reported they do to them. Specially Ethopian airlines. We called to Ethopian airlines about if they are one who changed the flight. They said they didn't. We even have to conformed with flight status app(24). Please look other other agencies for any future tickets. Never, ever want to come to back to them.

ibrahim m 4 years ago

Negative experience: This is the first time I called this agency, I was looking for a ticket for my family and I talk to a gentlemen whoes name I don't want to say. My 10 minute conversation with him was not pleased. Couple things I have noticed. 1. He rushed me and was not having attention to what I was saying 2. He told me that they don't have flexible return time since I wasn't sure when I will return and wanted open return, planning to return after six or even a year. I absolutely agree with the previous reviews. Advice to the business owner please train your employees on a better customer services and I guarantee you more customers. If they are not doing their job fire them and hire diverse group not just Indians. This a feedback not a criticism. Please take this very SERIOUS. Now I have to buy a ticket somewhere else

India Chand 5 years ago

Negative experience: This company has the worst customer service I have ever seen. When I called to ask for a refund due to my flight being cancelled because of COVID-19. The person I was speaking to (I will not name the representative but am willing to give the name as a follow up) told me that a refund is almost never possible. I spoke to Delta earlier in the day and they told me that the travel agency did not refund me instead the requested for a flight extension into 2022. I did not ask for this. Delta also told me that Universal Travels is also required to give me a full refund. When I asked the Universal Travels agent, he told me that this is not the case. I am extremely upset because the agent did not reassure me that this will be possible and told me it will take 3-4 months! Delta told me it will take a week. When I have flown directly through delta before they have given me a refund within a week. I am very upset with this service I received from University Travels. I have been a long time customer, but will no longer be coming here to buy my tickets anymore. I was also told the Minneapolis location was closed today!! I know they are open every single day. They are doing things without my consent and are lying to their customers to scam us out of money.

I am supposed to travel and stay over night to the airport and there is no way agency would help me to get a hotel. They say they will call me. Everytime i call them they either hang up on me or tell me they will call me and they never called.

HOSSAM BONDOUK 7 years ago

Negative experience: This is the worst travel office I've ever seen in my life, which is run by people who are rude in style, characterized by the truth in dealing with liars, misguided, misguided, taking money more than their right if I bought them. If you return to them, you will remember that you will not receive the money. If you return to them, you will remember that you will not be given the money. If you postpone your travel, they will take more money from you. If you discuss something on the phone, they will evade you because of your problem. Worse, and ask you to leave the house and stay Contact us on the phone and contacted them and reply to you this employee is required is, close the phone in your face, this is what happened with me from the staff have a name (Sandra) This place is a place, He wanted to book a ticket for travel not going to this place for what he did It was bad, very, very rude, and very despicable, I advise you about his experience Do not go to this place at all or else, you will be the losers of money and dignity, you will regret, great remorse the length of your life

She obtained excellent seats for me at Dallas.

Ashley Jannatpour 11 years ago

Negative experience: WORST TRAVEL AGENCY EVER. NEVER BOOK WITH THEM. THEY DO NOT DO THEIR RESEARCH. THEY DID MULTIPLE "ILLEGAL BOOKINGS" WE MISSED EVERY FLIGHT EXCEPT THE FIRST ONE. THEY DID NOT GIVE US ENOUGH LAYOVER TIME. WE HAD TWO 55 minute layovers. HAD TO PAY FOR HOTEL AND NEW TICKETS. When we arrived in Rome we had a 55 minute layover and there were two huge security checkpoints so we of course missed the connecting flight to JFK. We take a LATER plane out of Rome and miss the next connecting flight to Minneapolis but even if hypothetically we were on the earlier flight we would have STILL missed the next connecting flight to Minneapolis because of security, customs, immigration and passport control which took about 3 hours. DEFINITELY NOT 55 MINUTES. So now our bags are in Rome still because we never got on the scheduled flight to JFK. And I'm out money for hotel and new tickets. University Travel is the WORST. I will NEVER book with them again and will continue telling everyone I know that University travel is the WORST. Never book with them you will regret it. The whole experience was a nightmare, and when we called the agent who sold us the tickets, our agent said he gave us "plenty of time" and that we weren't eligible for any compensation.
