Cancellation / Changes: If you need to change or cancel your travel plans, it is your responsibility to notify us in writing of such a request. Notifying us is not enough in many cases as we have automated software to issue many of our tickets instantly. These tickets are discount tickets, which have restrictions on them and may be up to 100% non-refundable and non-changeable. Therefore you should assume all reservations are non-refundable the moment you make the booking.

We charge a service fee for any changes or cancellations to fares. In addition to our charges, most airlines also have a penalty or cancellation fee for any changes or cancellations to fares.

6. Why can't I find available flights online?

There are several reasons: The flights may be sold out. The schedule may require more than one airline to connect and booking engine may not recognize this. If you do not find available space for the requested fare, a request may be made by booking request or by telephone to a live agent.

8. What is an E-ticket?

An E-ticket (or "electronic ticket") is a paper-less ticket. Instead of receiving a physical ticket, a confirmation number is sent to you via email to be used at the airport check-in with your photo ID (such as a driver's license or passport) to receive your boarding pass.

Using an E-ticket is very simple and completely secure. Most airlines offer E-tickets and they make up 95% of the tickets we issue. E-tickets have many benefits. You can not lose an E-ticket since your ticket is your confirmation number and photo identification. And in the event that you forget the confirmation number, the flight number or your name will do the job.

9. If I purchase an E-ticket, what do I get as proof of that purchase?

Customers buying Etickets will be sent a confirmation number and e-ticket via e-mail. Travelers can present that number at the time of airport check-in along with appropriate identification.

In order to ensure delivery of your tickets prior to your departure, we cannot accept bookings for travel within 3 business days of your departure date via the internet. For last minute booking please contact our call centre.

Once international reservations have been made and you have provided payment to us, YOUR RESERVATION CANNOT BE CHANGED without large penalties (usually $300 or more depending upon the airline). Additionally, INTERNATIONAL CONSOLIDATOR TICKETS ARE USUALLY NONREFUNDABLE.

Beginning with the first scheduled day of travel, your tickets are completely non-refundable and usually non changeable. Any schedule changes must be made before the original departure date.

Flight Network has established these procedures to prevent credit card fraud and protect our customers.
