I have been on hold for 6 hours and 17 minutes. This is ridiculous

This can't be normal.  The other day I called and I was on hold for 2 hours.  Now today it's over 6 hours for group travel.  This is not good.

Sorry you have been on hold for so long. Due to recent schedule changes this has caused hold times to increase and like most places these days I'm sure the group's department is understaffed. 

 

Hang tight and someone will answer soon.

Most things can be handled online, what were you trying to do?

I have been trying to get through to pay my balance for this reservation.  I was on the phone yesterday for 4 hours in the AM and 6 hours in the afternoon/evening.  And now for the past 2 hours.  I already submitted the name file.  Can someone tell me what I need to do to complete my reservation.  I don’t want to lose the reservation and deposit

Yep, unfortunately, you'll have to call Group Travel and pay for the reservation through there. You could also try emailing but calling is usually best. Hopefully, you were able to get through!
