I had to return to the USA on March 14, 2022 for the unexpected death of my father. & nbsp; I purchased the round trip tickets from Business Class.com. & nbsp; I had used this company one other time without issue. & nbsp; When I arrived at LAX on April 15 for my return flight I was informed by the ticket agent at check-in counter that my ticket had been suspended but she could not tell me why. & nbsp; I contacted Business Class.com via their customer support number and emailed the travel representative (Lily) from the company who had sold me the tickets. & nbsp; After about 1 hour Lily emailed me 2 options for new flights since I was told that the suspended ticket would not be reinstated. & nbsp;

& nbsp;

The first was to take the next Singapore Airline Flight with the same itinerary which departed 2-3 hours later. & nbsp; This options placed me in economy even though my original ticket was for business class and the company asked me to pay $504. & nbsp; The second option given was to wait 2 days to fly via United Airlines and ANA via 3 connections of which only 2 were business class. & nbsp; In addition the 3rd leg was a domestic flight which would require me to pay additional money for my checked bags and transfer from the international terminal to the domestic terminal in Jakarta. & nbsp; Business Class.com asked me to pay $1380 for this option. & nbsp; I ask them why there were requiring me to pay for a replacement ticket and was told because the flights were expensive. & nbsp;

& nbsp;

At this point I told them I wanted to be book on the Singapore Airline Flight that left 2 hours later in business class and at no cost to me which they said they would not do because of the expense. & nbsp; After several email and phone calls I finally told Lily that I would accept the 2nd option at no additional cost to me but that I would pay for the expenses of spending 2 additional days in LA. & nbsp; She told me I would have to pay the $1380 and there were no other options available to me.

& nbsp;

Since it had become clear that the company was not going to offer me a reasonable solution I purchased a business class ticket on the Singapore Airlines flight that left 2 hours after my original flight for $8291.40. & nbsp; After landing in Singapore after a 17 hour flight which was the 1st leg of my trip I received a message from Lily indicating they would provide option 2 & nbsp; at no charge to me. & nbsp; I informed her I was already traveling back to Indonesia.

& nbsp;

I worked & nbsp; with business class.com for several weeks after my return home asking them to reimburse me for the ticket I had to purchased. & nbsp; They refused and offered to refund the unused ticket plus a $500 travel voucher. & nbsp; I spent 10-15 hours trying to determine why the ticket was suspended since Business Class.com said they did not know why. & nbsp;

& nbsp;

Finally I was told by Singapore Air it was suspended because the ticket violated the terms and conditions of their points program . & nbsp; When I asked Business Class.com on 2 separate emails if they were aware they had sold me a ticket in violation of Singapore Air & #39;s terms and conditions I never received a response. & nbsp; Business Class.com never even refunded the ticket amount as promised so I had to dispute the charge on the credit card account. After working for many hours with Singapore Air I was able to determine that my ticket was suspended because of representative Business Class.com call Singapore Air to confirm my fight. & nbsp; They fraudulently identified themselves as me which caused Singapore Air to suspend the ticket because they realized the person on the phone was not me. & nbsp; I have spent hundreds of hours trying to resolve this issue and have a detailed record of all the related events.

 Why would you buy an airline ticket through some shady middleman that nobody has ever heard of, instead of going directly through the airline? Next time, book a ticket through the official airline website and avoid the hassles of dealing with agents. It's much easier to work directly with an airline than to play phone tag and finger pointing games when something inevitably goes wrong.
