Questions people ask

All questions →
Are there hidden fees?

No. The total you see includes taxes and carrier charges. If an agency service fee applies to a ticket, it is quoted before you pay, never added afterwards.

Do I earn frequent-flyer miles on these fares?

Almost always. Most consolidator and negotiated fares book into mileage-earning fare classes; your agent will tell you the booking class before ticketing so you can check your programme.

Can I hold a fare before paying?

Yes — use "Hold this fare" on any result or call us. Holds are free and last up to 24 hours, subject to the airline.

Can I change or cancel after booking?

That depends on the fare rules of the ticket, which your agent explains before you buy. Many business and first fares are changeable for a fee; refunds for airline-cancelled flights follow US DOT rules.

Still unsure? Call +1 844 557-2216 — a person answers, around the clock.
