Disappointing experiences with the airline

I’ve had two frustrating encounters with the airline, both stemming from their own systems and exacerbated by their unhelpful support. 1. Family vacation almost ruined We planned an expensive long-haul trip from a major city to the Caribbean. Due to my son sharing my first and last name, the airline's system flagged it as a 'duplicate passenger' and blocked check-in for the whole family. Airport staff provided no assistance We had to rush through the airport, retrieve e-tickets ourselves, and nearly missed our flight. This is something that most airlines manage effectively — clearly, this one does not. 2. Canceled my paid ticket and forced me to purchase another I booked a trip from one city to another for Friday and planned to return on Sunday. I logged in but overlooked that the outbound flight was on the incorrect Friday.
My fare class didn’t permit changes, so I ended up buying a second one-way ticket for the right date. Then the airline did the unthinkable:
They canceled the new ticket I had paid for on my return, blocked check-in, and chat support informed me that I 'must buy a third ticket.' There was absolutely no willingness to assist. Just scripted, unhelpful responses. Conclusion
The airline has: Unreliable and outdated systems
Hidden rules that trap customers
Staff that provides no genuine support No flexibility, even when the issue is their fault. After these two significant failures, I will avoid this airline whenever I can.
