Travel Tip: Make Sure You Call The Right Airline Phone Number

August 12, 2024 at 13:16 EDT By Spencer Howard

View From The Wing: "Beware Googling airline phone numbers because scam travel agencies have corrupted the results. You call thinking you’re reaching your airline, but the person on the other end charges you for changes you are entitled to for free – like a new flight when yours is cancelled, or seat assignments."

"Scam travel agencies buying Google ads to appear that you’ve found the airline’s phone number. They’re doing this with United Airlines, JetBlue, Hawaiian and others. You get connected to an agency with a one star and an F rating from the Better Business Bureau."

Always use an airline's website to get the correct contact number.
