Questions about the booking process
Nothing happened or the screen went blank when I tried to purchase?
A very small number of users, depending on their web browsers, type of internet access or conflicting software on their system (e.g. adware), have informed us of a potential concern. They mentioned that when they clicked on the purchase button to book a ticket one of the following problems occurred: 1) their screen froze, 2) their screen went blank, 3) they were kicked off the internet or 4) nothing happened at all. This is not caused by the web site itself but the presence of conflicting software on their system (e.g. adware). To see if a reservation was created, please visit our Customer Support page and choose the “blank screen” option from the drop down menu.
How do I purchase an airline ticket for someone else?
Due to credit card fraud, third party bookings are not allowed to be completed through the website. We do allow third party billings to be completed under some circumstances, but you will be asked to provide us with a faxed credit card authorization form and the associated documentation. To complete a third party booking, please contact our Customer Support page and choose the “third party billing” option from the drop down menu.
Why is a flight or fare shown and then not available when I attempt to book it?
There may be a delay between when a fare or flight is sold out and when the Airline updates its inventory in the Airline Reservation System (GDS). This is usually caused by the Airlines not updating their availability in a timely manner. We apologize for any confusion, frustration or inconvenience this may cause you. However, please note that GDS availability is the responsibility of the Airlines to update; not the responsibility of the travel site. The travel site simply displays the availability provided by Airlines to the GDS.
Why did I receive a "Validation Error" when trying to book?
Some portion of your reservation form was not filled out correctly. Common errors are incorrect billing address, wrong credit card numbers, incomplete email addresses, etc. Please make sure all of your information is correct and try to submit the form again.
If you are certain that the information is correct, please visit our Customer Support page and choose the “Validation Error” option from the drop down menu and explain what error you are experiencing. Once we receive your request we will respond promptly.

There are click-able links on the web site that display the current values for the fee(s). On your credit card statement, be aware that any charge labeled “airfare balance” may contain more than just the fees; it may contain part of your base fare itself.

Charges to your credit card may appear in the name of the airline involved, one of their service providers or one of our participating consolidators.

Questions about the confirmation/ticketing process
How do I review/confirm my reservation?
After making a reservation, you will receive an email that reconfirms all of your reservation information. To review/confirm your reservation, please go to the CheckMyReservation page, input in your reference code and email address and pull up your confirmation page. You can then print this page for your convenience.
What if I have not received my confirmation email?
A confirmation email is automatically sent to the email address provided to us at the moment the ticket is issued. The confirmation email is important for several reasons:
a) it serves as a receipt
b) its is an important form of identification for you to show at check-in
c) it provides us with an important tool for communicating with you regarding airline schedule changes.
If you did not receive your confirmation email, it could be due to: 1) a misspelled/mistyped email address, 2) the email going to a different folder (other than your Inbox), 3) spam blockers preventing the email from reaching you (AOL and EarthLink are notorious for this) or 4) that you have booked your reservation through a different website. To solve this problem there are two possible solutions.
1) If you have your reference code (you printed the confirmation page from the website) but have not received your confirmation email; you can go to the CheckMyReservation page, input in your reference code and email address and pull up your confirmation page. You can then print this page for your convenience.
2) If you do not have your email confirmation or reference code, you will need to go to our Customer Support page and choose the “no confirmation email received” option from the drop down menu.
What if I do not have a reference code?
The six-digit reference code is comprised of capital letters and numbers. It first appears on the order confirmation screen that displays after you have made a reservation request. If you did not print the reservation request page, then it also appears in the ticket confirmation email that is sent to you within 72 hours of making a reservation. If you failed to receive an email confirmation, please go to our Customer Support page and chocontactus.aspose the “no confirmation email received” option from the drop down menu.
If you are sure your email address is correct and is not influenced by spam blockers, then you may have either not completed your booking correctly or you may have made a booking through a different travel site. If you are sure that you made the booking through this travel site, please go to our Customer Support page and chocontactus.aspose the “unconfirmed reservation” option from the drop-down menu.
I need another copy of my itinerary or I lost my itinerary?
If you need another copy of your itinerary, please go to the CheckMyReservation page, input in your reference code and email address and pull up your confirmation page. You can then print this page for your convenience. If you do not have your six-character reference code, please select the question “What if I do not have a reference number?” from the top of the FAQ help page that you are currently viewing.
I have a confirmed reservation on 2 or more airlines. Why are you unable to issue my ticket?
Some airlines do not have ticketing (or luggage transfer agreements) with each other. This means that the itinerary that you chose cannot be issued. You can either go back to the website and try again or contact our Customer Support page and choose the “unconfirmed reservation” option from the drop down menu. Our agents will be happy to try and find you an alternative. If they are unable, your reservation will be cancelled and nothing will be charged to your credit card.
Why are you unable to issue tickets on certain airlines?
We cannot issue tickets on certain carriers due to the airlines not having ticketing agreements with the Airline Reservation System. When this happens, your reservation will be automatically cancelled and nothing will be charged to your card. We will also send you an email to make you aware that the reservation cannot be ticketed and has been cancelled. It is strictly the airlines’ responsibility to make sure their flights are coded properly in standard global systems. If you believe that your reservation was not ticketed and you have not received an email from us, please go to our Customer Support page and choose the “unconfirmed reservation” option from the drop down menu
Do I have an electronic (e-ticket) or paper ticket?
Our system is programmed to automatically issue e-tickets first. If the airline prohibits an e-ticket, then the system will automatically issue a paper ticket and an additional Fedex shipping charge will be applied to your total charges. To confirm whether you have an e-ticket or paper ticket please go to the CheckMyReservation page, input in your reference code and email address and pull up your confirmation page.
Questions about the shipping process
I purchased a paper ticket, how will I receive it?
Your paper tickets are normally shipped within 24 hours of purchase via Fedex with the exception of weekends and holidays. Our travel support center uses 2 day shipping whenever possible and overnight shipping for last minute tickets.
What is the shipping charge?
Our travel support center uses Fedex 2 day shipping to ship all paper tickets to our customers. For shipments within the continental US, the Fedex shipping charge is $19.00 for the standard 2 day shipping. Additional shipping fees will be applied for shipping to Canada, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. A minimum $45.00 shipping fee will be charged for international deliveries (with the exception of Canada).
Why did I not receive my e-tickets in the mail?
E-tickets stand for electronic tickets and subsequently are done electronically (without a paper ticket). If you purchased an e-ticket, your email confirmation is your receipt. You will not receive anything else in the mail. All that you need to check-in with an e ticket is to show your picture ID (such as your driver’s license or passport). We recommend that you print a copy of the confirmation email that was sent to you so that you have your flight information with you when you travel.
I did not receive my paper tickets in the mail, what should I do?
Normal shipments of paper tickets may take up to 3 business days from the date of purchase to the time they arrive at your home. International shipments may take up to 7 business days. To make sure you have paper tickets, please go to the CheckMyReservation page, input in your reference code and email address and pull up your confirmation page to determine what type of tickets you have.
If you are sure that you have paper tickets and you have not received them within 7 days of your booking date or within 5 days of departure date, please go to our Customer Support page and choose the “shipping a paper ticket” option from the drop down menu and provide us with the date in which you purchased the paper ticket as well as your correct shipping address. We will have someone in the shipping department look into it for you and resolve the issue immediately.
I have a PO Box, how will you ship me the tickets?
For credit card verification purposes you must enter the address where your credit card billing statements are mailed to, even if it is a PO Box or an APO address. However, as per Fedex rules, if your reservation requires a paper ticket, we will be unable to send your tickets to a PO Box or an APO address.
To resolve this problem, please provide us with your current mailing address. To provide us with your current mailing address please go to our Customer Support page and choose the “shipping a paper ticket” option from the drop down menu. Please note that if your departure date is five days from the date you purchased your tickets, Fedex may not be able to deliver your paper tickets to you prior to departure, in which case we will make an effort to contact you.
Can I send the tickets to a different mailing address?
As per stringent rules imposed by credit card companies and banks, we are obligated to ship all paper tickets only to the billing address that the customer has provided. This extra level of security protects the customer from fraudulent charges.
I typed in the wrong shipping address?
If you typed in the wrong shipping address, please go to our Customer Support page IMMEDIAcontactus.aspTELY and choose the “wrong shipping address” option from the drop down menu and type in the correct shipping address (no PO Boxes please). Once we receive the correct shipping address from you we will update your record and ship the documents to the correct address.
Questions about the traveling process
How do I travel with an electronic ticket?
Electronic tickets allow you the convenience of traveling without being required to carry traditional paper tickets. The electronic ticket or e-ticket is convenient because you no longer have to worry about carrying or possibly losing your airline ticket. With an electronic ticket, all that you need at check-in is your valid ID card and your email receipt. Always reconfirm your flights directly with the airline 24 hours prior to departure, as airlines frequently have schedule changes. For a list of airline phone numbers, please visit the Airline Contact page.
What identification do children need at the airport?
Any children under the age of 18 will need an accompanying adult to certify their identity. Although not required, having a copy of a birth certificate is a good idea. For most international travel, please see our FAQ question, “What are the check-in procedures for domestic and international flights?”
What are the rules on unaccompanied minors/children traveling alone?
Airlines have specific rules regarding unaccompanied minors/children traveling alone. Therefore we recommend that you contact the airline directly regarding their specific rules on unaccompanied minors/children traveling alone. For a list of airline phone numbers, please visit the Airline Contact page.
Why do I have to change airports?
Although all change of airport rules are clearly stated prior to any purchase, the passenger may choose to change airports for one or more of the following reasons: 1) switching airports can often lower your total airfare, 2) when certain carriers are combined with others, it may require a change of airports, 3) there are no other flight options available to meet your travel needs (you have to fly with a specific airline out of a specific airport). Unfortunately, the airlines do NOT provide transportation or accommodations to the passenger for the inconvenience of switching airports. This cost and inconvenience will be at your expense and you will have to claim your luggage from one airport and re-check it in at the other airport. You will also need to allow for a minimum of 3 hours to make the airport change, barring there are no delays on your flights.
What are the check-in procedures for domestic and international flights?
Firstly, always reconfirm your flights directly with the airline 24 hours prior to departure, as airlines do make schedule changes. For a list of airline phone numbers, please visit the Airline Contact page.
When packing, please remember that new Federal carry-on rules allow for only one standard-size carry-on bag and one personal item such as purse, laptop computer, small book-type backpack or briefcase. The Transportation Security Administration requests travelers not to lock their checked luggage. If your bag is locked and there is a need to inspect the bag, the locks will be removed by security.
New Federal security rules require customers who have checked baggage to fly on the same flight as their checked bags. If you are checking your bags, be sure your name and contact information is on the outside and inside of each bag. If you’re checking bags for a domestic flight, you should arrive at the airport 90 minutes prior to departure. If you only have carry-on luggage, plan to arrive 60 minutes prior to departure. For international flights, it’s recommended that you arrive at least two hours prior to departure. For international flights all passengers will need their passports. Have your government-issued photo ID available at all times, as well as a printed itinerary if you’re traveling with an electronic ticket. As per FAA rules, if you are traveling on a domestic flight with a child or children under the age of 18, they do not need a photo ID as long as the accompanying adult certifies their identity.
As always, passengers should reconfirm their flight times directly with the airlines either the night before or early the day of departure to insure that no last minute schedule changes have occurred. If you wish to reconfirm your flights with the airlines or if you have any questions about a particular airline’s rules, please contact the airlines directly. For a list of airline phone numbers, please visit the Airline Contact page.
What are Visa’s and passports and do I need one to travel?
Each country has its own Visa and Passport requirements. It is up to each individual to determine the Visa and Passport requirements for the country they will be visiting. Additional tips and information on airport security and check in procedures can be reviewed by accessing the Transportation Security Administration Web site.
Will the airline change my flights?
As the airlines make flight schedule changes at their discretion, and some changes are last minute, it is strongly advised that you contact the airlines 24 hours prior to departure to re-confirm your flights. For a list of airline phone numbers, please go to the top of our help page (FAQ) and choose the “How do I contact the airlines with a question?” option from the drop-down menu. To see at any time whether the airlines have updated global systems with changed flights, monitor your reservation at our CheckMyReservation page, using your reference code and email address for access.
