2. Your Agreement with us

We sell a variety of travel related products and services from different Travel Suppliers. We, as Booking/Travel Agent, are acting as intermediary for products and services that are not directly supplied by us. We are not a co-vendor of such products and services. When you make a booking via our website, you will be entering into a separate contract with such Travel Suppliers in connection with such products and services. We are therefore not a party to the contractual relationship in relation to the products and services you order on our website, unless explicitly provided otherwise herein.

3. Booking

3.1 Price

Prices are confirmed at the final step of the booking path at the point when you click “Buy now”, “Make the reservation” or similar, depending on product purchased.

3.2 Service fee

By using our website to book products and/or services, you authorize us to act as your representative during the process of booking of products and/or services from the selected Travel Supplier and to make the payment for such products or services in your name and on your behalf, as required. Accordingly, we shall charge you a service fee, depending upon which product you book. Any fee charged will be displayed before you confirm your booking.

3.3 Booking confirmation

After you complete your booking, you will receive a confirmation email with a booking number. This is the moment that your contract in relation to the products and services ordered will come into existence. This confirmation email will provide all the details of your booking. Next, we will check that your booking has been correctly entered in the airline’s or Travel Supplier’s booking system and that your payment can be correctly processed.

For flight booking, our obligation to issue the ticket will be subject to your payment having been received in cleared funds.

In relation to the “special requests” options relating to any product (eg meals, disabled facilities, child seats etc.), we do not guarantee any such requests but will pass these requests on to the Airlines and will be governed by Airline Rules.

Changes and Cancellations

3.4.1. Changes and Cancellations – initiated by you.

Your ability to cancel or modify a booked travel product or service, and the method for doing so, will depend on the specific airline’s fare rules or other Travel Supplier’s terms and conditions. It therefore may not be possible to cancel or modify products or services ordered, or there may be specific requirements you will have to meet.

Although information on your ability to cancel or modify your booking is available online during the booking process and set out in your confirmation email and in your e-ticket, it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with specific terms and conditions for cancellations and amendments, since you are deemed to have read and accepted them at the time your booking is placed.

You may submit your request for change and/or cancellation, here. After that you will receive an email asking you to confirm with us to process your request. If for any reason you do not receive the message, you are solely responsible for contacting us to establish that your request is received and being processed. We are not responsible if due to technical reasons the communication process is not completed.

Changes to name details are not allowed by many airlines and other Suppliers. While we will endeavor to make such a change, if necessary, please bear in mind that most airlines and Suppliers treat a name change as a cancellation, to which standard conditions and charges would apply.

If you make any alteration to your booking (cancellation or modification), in addition to the terms and conditions of your Supplier(s), our standard fees will apply as may be outlined on your booking confirmation. These fees cover the administration costs incurred by us and do not include any charges imposed directly by the Travel Supplier.

3.4.2 Cancellation Fee and Change in Flight booking.

In relation to flight bookings, please note that in case of cancellation the airline charges a cancellation fee or if you change the flight booking the cost of your booking may increase, and you will need to pay such extra charges or costs in addition to our charges outlined on your receipt or booking confirmation.

The cancellation and amendment terms of low-cost flights are the applicable terms of the airline. You should contact the airline directly to cancel or make amendments to low-cost flights. Usually fares for low-cost flights are non-refundable. If you decide to cancel your low-cost flight, our service fee and any amendment charges are non-refundable. If the reason for your cancellation is covered by the terms of any insurance policy you have purchased, you may be able to reclaim any applicable non-refunded fares or cancellation charges from the insurers.

Please note that flights must be taken in the sequence they appear on your booking confirmation or e-ticket. If you plan not to take a flight as booked, please contact the airline as far in advance as possible to discuss your options. If you do not check in on time for a confirmed reservation, the airline may register you as a ‘no-show’, which could result in extra charges and/or your whole flight itinerary being cancelled and/or render your ticket void.

If you wish to cancel your booking because you are unable to comply with the passport, visa and other immigration requirements applicable to your itinerary, the terms and conditions of the airline will apply, and we accept no responsibility for any charges incurred.

3.4.2 Cancellation of Flight Booking - initiated by us

In case of an obvious error (including any error in data entry, error of calculation or clerical error) resulting in the display of a price which has obviously been displayed by mistake, we reserve the right to cancel your booking, even if it was automatically confirmed by us. You will be informed of this as soon as possible, to allow you to make a booking at the correct price, if you wish to. In any case, you will not be entitled to claim compensation from us on the grounds of the cancellation or the related costs, if any, that have been incurred due to an erroneous booking which has been cancelled.

In some circumstances, and in addition to the billing and payment information you provide, we may require you to produce some proof of your identity. This can be requested at the time of booking, during payment processing or at any other time thereafter. We reserve the right to cancel the booking if you do not provide such proof of identity when requested with no liability whatsoever.

We also reserve the right to cancel your booking at any time for security or fraud-protection purposes. This is generally due to our security protection and fraud-detection processes reporting a problem with the payment card submitted e-mail address used for booking etc. In such circumstances we may cancel your booking with no liability whatsoever. An email informing you about the cancellation will be sent to the email address you provided at the time of booking.

3.4.3 Refunds

If you cancel your booking, you may be entitled to a partial refund. In addition to the cancellation terms and conditions of your Supplier(s), our standard fees will apply as may be outlined on your receipt or booking confirmation.

The refundable portion of your purchase price (if any) will be refunded to you once we have received the funds back from the Airlines. To the extent we are refunded by the Supplier, we shall pass this refund onto you. We are not responsible for a Airlines failure to pay a refund.

If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim your cancellation charges through your insurer. The same applies in case you have purchased our Moneyback Guarantee cancellation service; if the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of our Moneyback Guarantee policy, this may entitle you or your immediate family (depending on the case) to the refund of your cancellation charges.

If you want to cancel or change your booking our service fee charged at the time of booking will not be refundable.

If you have a booking for any of our products or services, including flights, but you do not show up to check-in or otherwise do not avail yourself of such product or service (“no show”), you will not be entitled to any refund. Subject to the relevant airline’s policy you may, however, be entitled to a refund of any departure tax you may have paid for your flight (excluding low-cost flights).

4. Changes to flight schedules

The flight times shown in your booking confirmation may change between the date of booking and the date you travel. In the event of re-timing of flight time schedule, if you provide us with contact information, we will endeavour to notify you of any such changes. However, it is your responsibility to check with the airline that the flight (and any onward flights) you have confirmed is operating as booked. We strongly recommend that you contact your airline at least 72 hours before the scheduled departure of each flight to do this. Please note that for some airlines it is mandatory to confirm with them your intention to fly. We have no control over airline schedule changes and accept no liability for costs which may arise because of such changes.

5. Prices and Payments

5.1 Prices

At the last step of the booking procedure, and prior to purchase, the total amount to be charged in INR is shown.

The amount taken from your card may differ from the amount quoted as payable on our site, as it depends on any additional charges or fees your card issuer (and/or card provider) applied to process the transaction.

We will not be liable for any fees relating to varying exchange rates and charges set by your bank as well as for any other additional fee for transactions in a foreign currency you are charged by your card issuer, in case Euro is not the currency that your credit card issuer bills you in.

5.2. Payment

Payment can be made by the payment methods listed on our website. Payment methods other than those stated on the website are not accepted and no responsibility is accepted for cash or cheque sent through the post.

When you make a booking on our website, you will need to provide us with credit or debit card details to cover the full cost of your booking. We may be required to pass your card details to the relevant Travel Supplier for fulfillment of the booking. You may have multiple charges for the travel service, totalling the amount quoted for your booking.

You authorize us or an authorized third party to take full payment for the total amount of your purchase. When pay by credit card, payment for your flights may be taken directly by the airline.

Please note that you may be required to present your payment card at the time of check-in to provide confirmation of authorized card use or to secure any additional charges.

If there are any problems with your payment, we will contact you within 48 hours (or within 24 hours if you are travelling within 48 hours).

We will not be liable for any subsequent price increase because of payment failure. Any price increase must be paid for by the Customer before the booking can be confirmed.

We are not obliged to issue any tickets, confirmations, vouchers, or other travel documents, before the payment process has been finalized and we have received the payment. However, in all cases the Customer remains liable for payment of the full amounts for the Services ordered.

In case the payment is processed with a credit card of a third person, we may require written authorization to be provided by the cardholder. We or the Travel Supplier reserves the right only to deliver e-tickets, confirmations, e-vouchers or other travel documents to your credit card billing address or email address when requested to do so by the credit card issuer. All email addresses used must be valid at the time of booking.

6. Special Conditions and information for Flights

6.1. Price

Some fees, such as service fees, are not included in the ticket price and are added during the booking process. However, a breakdown of the fare, taxes, surcharges and extra fees and the total ticket price are indicated at various steps during booking procedure. At the final step before validating the booking, an overview with the total price will be displayed. Once you click submit you agree with the price and purchase. You will then receive your booking confirmation e-mail where price is shown.

6.2. Refunds

In some cases, when you are unable to take your flight, subject to the terms and conditions of the airline, you may be eligible to claim part of the amount you were charged at the time of purchase. Most of the airlines do refund taxes, fees, charges, and surcharges (TFCs) imposed on passengers by airports and government authorities if the ticket is unused, since these TFCs are only payable to airports or governments if the passenger actually travels. Other TFCs (for example fuel charges or booking fees) are not refunded unless a flexible fare ticket is purchased. Most airlines demand an administration fee for refunding TFCs.

If you wish to make a claim for any amount that may be refundable, please do so by sending us a written authorization, here. You hereby authorize us to carry out all the activities necessary to obtain such a refund. You agree that you have 12 months from the date of your scheduled flight to write and ask us for a refund, after which time you agree to forfeit any right to apply for refunds.

Please note that in case of tickets issued directly by the airline or where payment for your flight has been taken directly by the airline, you may be instructed to make a request for a refund directly with the airline concerned.

Please note that refunds can only be processed to the form of payment used at the time of booking and that all refunds are subject to the relevant airline’s policy and our refund service fee. You hereby authorize us to deduct the applicable refund service fee from the amount of the refund payable to you.

In the event of a refund to you after the above deductions, the relevant amounts will be transferred back by the party that took the original payment to the payment card used to make the original booking. Any service fees applied will not be eligible for reimbursement.

Customers should note that a refund of flight bookings may take up to 6 months. Refunds will only be paid to you once we have received the funds back from the airline. We are not responsible for the airline’s failure to pay a refund.

6.3. E-tickets

All tickets sold on our website are e-tickets, which is a paper-less way to book flights. Once you have made your booking, it is stored electronically in the airline reservation system. We will send you a booking confirmation email and then a separate e-ticket will follow.

It is important that the Customer receives both a booking confirmation and then an e-ticket for each booking. Since you may be required to produce your booking number and/or confirmation email to the airline as evidence of your booking, we recommend that you take both the booking confirmation and the e-ticket with you. We cannot be held responsible for noncompliance with these rules and regulations and strongly recommend that you check these details with your airline in advance of travel.
