I said it’s unlikely to go abroad in May so I already cancelled my hotel and my trips so why your don’t return my money, so it’s very annoying and I called many times to the agency, so their service is quite bad so the receptionist said she need to ask her supervisor, and so many process to wait so I’m not happy / furious.
