Mox Travel

Has anyone used the above company to book air tickets. They seem to offer some good fares, are essentially internet only, based in Bangkok, but don't seem good at answering their phone.

Does anyone have any experience of using them?

A TG flight to Brisbane Business class is not only 10K cheaper then on line to Thai but ---Mox say I can go on dates that Thai say no we are full.

I think I picked up their contact details from this forum.

I tried to make a booking today and it accepted everything up to my credit card details, and then those were rejected, I think by their bank. My credit card company said no request for payment was received. Though Mox have since issued me with an invoice with 2 days to pay.

However, whenever I rang them, no answer. I've sent them an email type message. So am just wondering.

Arjay, I Thought YOU were a Wise Man when I spoke to you on a few occasions,So YOU should know "If something looks too good to be true,then it probably IS " I Just picked RANDOM dates for a return flight BKK-MAN on a 60 day ticket,and COMPARED Mox & Qatar Airways Website............Qatar are CHEAPER By some 1700 Baht for the SAME Flights.....

Wouldn't even give me a page to book a flight ??

Waz, I would have thought that a man of Arjays Standing would have had a GLOBAL CC.....

Global CC, plus Home Pro and Tool Pro, so many CC u need LOL

I had issues years ago, trying to use my HSBC Debit card with Siam Commercial, they just wouldnt take off shore CC's.

Waz, I would have thought that a man of Arjays Standing would have had a GLOBAL CC....

All credit cards are in effect "Global"! I think it's more a case of localised security systems/checks not knowing cards from certain countries.

Well, I did my research, thank you for your input everyone. Though 747 seems to be wrong.

In the event, I booked my flights through Mox with EVA.

Economy: 28000 baht (EVA website price: 45500)

Elite class (Super Economy): 51000 baht. (EVA website price 62500 baht)

Once I'd realised that Mox were Internet based and I switched to using emails (they don't have a walk in shop), I in fact found them very good, quick and professional, responding to my emails promptly. They gave me a link & reference to "Checkmytrip", which showed the Itinerary and an EVA reference, which when I submitted onto EVA's own website confirmed the flight details and seat numbers, which Mox had changed more than once to better meet my requirements. I've since had my e-tickets.

Agreed, I couldn't get their system (I believe Kasikorn Bank based) to accept my UK credit card, though they offer several other ways of paying, including transfers from a number of Thai banks. In the event I TT'd my money direct from my UK bank account to one of Mox's Thai bank accounts. I initiated the transfer on friday, when X rates were at their recent best, and received my E-tickets this afternoon!

So overall very pleased with cost and service.

Arjay, I May have been WRONG about Mox v Eva,I Never even checked that as YOU in your earlier post quoted Qatar Airways v Mox......Which I was CORRECT, I Will accept your apology though....

I sent an E-mail to them last Sun. morning about booking a return flight from BKK to SFO on China Airlines late next month and have yet to receive a reply. Has this been the experience of others that have used their services?

Hi,
Just booked a flight with Mox Travel to Manchester U.K. 8,000B cheaper than booking with the airline. Checked their figures. Everything went well and flying out next month, the 21st, with Etihad.
I have a British credit card and there was no trouble with them over accepting it. There was a small charge for using a C.C. about 700B for my flight. Everything seemed well run, and they were prompt in replying.
Will keep people informed if any problems.
Funman when you get onto their site. Fill out all the details they ask for and they will give you a list of the flights that have seats for the days you choose. You don;t have to pay or take the flights they offer. Being a budget firm they like to cut out all unnecessary work. If you do have problems they give you a code you can contact them with, by e-mail or phone.
