A holidaymaker who booked a trip of a lifetime to Singapore has issued a warning after her flight was cancelled by a stranger.
Melissa Doherty, who goes by @meld460, shared her tragic situation in a video on TikTok.
She had booked a Qantas flight from Cairns, Australia to Singapore but was dismayed to find a ‘very sad individual’ had cancelled it on her behalf.
Melissa explained how she was ‘excited’ and had been ‘looking forward’ to the trip for ‘literally my whole life’.
However, in her excitement, she posted the details on TikTok without thinking anyone would take advantage of her personal details.
‘Yes, the booking reference was in it and obviously my last name is on my TikTok,’ Melissa explained.
‘Somebody took it upon themselves and cancelled my flight,’ she fumed.
The holidaymaker recalled how she received an email from Qantas stating her refund was ‘in process’.

At first, Melissa assumed this was because her flight had been cancelled and she would simply just rebook another.
‘Then I got the refund, we paid 1,200 for the flights and I got back 800,’ she said.
‘I was thinking that doesn’t add up, that doesn’t make any sense.’
Melissa called Qantas about the issue and claims she was told the cancellation was done over the phone.
If it had been cancelled online, the airline told Melissa they would have been able to see who did it.
‘Someone rang up with my booking reference and cancelled my flight,’ she added.
Melissa went on to explain why she posted about the booking online, and put it down to ‘excitement’.
She said: ‘I know the internet is bad and I know I shouldn’t have put my details on social media but at the time I jut put it up innocently.

‘I feel like a lot of people would do the same thing, I was excited, I just posted it, I didn’t think anything of it.’
The holidaymaker admitted she felt ‘sick to her stomach’ and wasn’t ‘angry’ or ‘upset’.
‘I just think that is the lowest of the low,’ Melissa raged.
The Daily Mail has approached Qantas for comment.
