Loca in spanish is like calling someone a crazy girl, derogative in the gay community, like a crazy queen 😝
March 12, 20242 yr That would be true if site was called "Travelloca". But since it's "Traveloka" it means "travel okay" in Spanish and English. Mind you that doesn't mean of course that queens aren't necessarily crazy. 🙂
March 12, 20242 yr I'm always a bit leery of booking flights with these sort of sites. If anything goes wrong with your flights having to contact them for customer service might be difficult.

But these aggregators are good for finding out which airlines fly to the the destinations I am looking at and for price comparisons.

It means the world or the universe.

March 13, 20242 yr Active Members These 3rd party websites often have nonexistent customer service, and this one is no exception: https://www.reviews.io/company-reviews/store/traveloka Almost everyone gives them the bottom rating. I personally think you'd be loco to use traveloka...
March 13, 20242 yr Active Members This review website also documents the nonexistent customer service. They have a few 5* reviews, but almost all of those were written by "1st-time reviewers," which shows the company is dishonest in addition to being disreputable. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/traveloka.com

Not at all, my definition of Loca (loka) is used in my daily vocabulary. The Sanskrit meaning, never ?? Doesn't it break down to two different words TravelOKA , 🧐
March 13, 20242 yr Active Members It seems to have sprung from a locally well known fromage tour operator a bit west of Montreal. When Trappist monks sell the farm there’s no telling what will evolve including its relation to the smell test and to variety on the in-flight cheese course trolley .
