Title: ZipAir “Business” via Travelocity – Misleading Disclosure, Credit Card Dispute Succeeded Body: I want to share a cautionary experience regarding ZipAir “Business” class tickets purchased through an online travel agency (Travelocity). ZipAir operates as a low-cost carrier, and its “Business” product differs significantly from traditional long-haul business class. When booked through Travelocity, several important limitations were not clearly disclosed at the time of purchase, leading to reasonable consumer confusion. Key points travelers should be aware of: ▪ ZipAir “Business” is not a full-service business class product ▪ No blanket, pillow, TV, not even a free bottle of water. ▪ Meals and other services are paid add-ons ▪ Lounge access is not included at NRT ▪ Baggage require additional fees ▪ OTA Travelocity listings do not explain these limitations before purchase After the booking, the gap between expectations and the actual product became clear. Attempts to resolve the issue directly with Travelocity was unsuccessful. A credit card dispute was filed on the basis of misleading or insufficient disclosure, and the card issuer ruled in favor of the customer, issuing a full refund the disputed amount. Takeaway: If you are considering ZipAir “Business” class, do not assume it is comparable to traditional business class. If booking through an OTA, read all disclosures carefully; in this case of Travelocity, it did not specify at all about the missing services. Posting this so others can make an informed decision.
