FAQs
Why use the phone for booking?
We know it can sometimes be a hassle when you are online to stop and pick up the phone. But sometimes the very best deals are only available over the phone. Due to our agreements with our many suppliers – our direct consolidators and partner airlines, most on consolidated fares cannot be disclosed for online purchase. So try to give us a call and you see how much you can save on your travel plan.
Why book over the phone with us?
Since our consolidated fares are specially negotiated and usually much lower than standard published fares, it increases your chances of getting bargain fares unavailable online and be the first to see and book the new rates not yet loaded anywhere online. Unlike online travel sites, you can always speak to your own personal live expert agent who is specially assigned to you to arrange all your travel needs. With the professional travel agent, you have ability to choose among the many options on alternate days, alternate flights, airline routes and fares manually combined for you, which you won't be able to do on your own online. Also, you may always negotiate your terms of payment and get necessary information on baggage, better airline and more convenient schedules.
When is the best time to start checking for cheap flights?
We advise to plan your travel ahead of time, at least 3 months in advance. If you plan to travel during or around major holiday, it is better t start checking for your flight even earlier: 5-6 months in advance to ensure the availability of seats on your preferred route with the chosen airline at a lower cost. We also advise you to be more flexible on your travel dates and flights to be able to choose the cheaper airfare, since the availability of most discount airfares is usually quite limited and our agents have better chances to offer you best deals if you can consider travailing 3-4 days before or after the planned dates.
Can I purchase a ticket online?
Due to our relations with airlines and direct consolidators, our airfares can only be purchased over the phone.
What is an e-ticket?
An e-ticket or an electronic ticket. Electronic ticketing is the time-saving, paperless and ticketless way to travel. E-tickets are widely used my most major international airlines. Some airlines still issue paper tickets, but this practice is less common nowadays. E-ticket contains all the same information as shown on a paper ticket, but it is stored electronically in the airline's computer system. An e-ticket allows your trip to be easy and safe because all of your booking and ticket details are held electronically and you cannot forget it at home or lose it while traveling. This has huge benefits over the old-style paper tickets. When you travel with an e-ticket, all you need to do is to simply print out your flight itinerary showing the booking reference to present it to airlines at check-in desk or in most cases you can just travel with your passport. We strongly suggest our customers to keep their travel itinerary with the e-ticket number and all flight details with them for faster check-in.

However, governmental taxes and minor local fees are excluded from our on-site and of-site advertisements. Final price of the ticket depends on the final itinerary chosen for the flight, which may vary based on several factors: travel dates/season, transfer airports, number of stops and airlines en-route, airline payment terms for discount fares.
