  • CANCEL AND REFUND

    For refundable fares, a processing fee by Air Fiesta Travel Customer Service may be charged for all permitted cancellations.

     Most airline service fees and airline tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE. Vacation protection insurance can be refunded within 10 days of purchase in case the travel has not begun, and the customer has called the customer service of airline to cancel. All cancellations should be done via phone only. Refund requests will be accepted only after following conditions have been met:

    • Traveler has applied for cancellation and refund with us and the airline rules allow for the same
    • Traveler should not be a “no show”. Most no-show bookings are not eligible for refund processing from suppliers.
    • Waivers are secured from the airlines by us to process the request for cancellation and refund.
    •  For flight ticket refunds, it is difficult to provide exact date or time it may take for the refund process. All requests for refunds are processed in a sequence. Once a notification is sent to the customer service agent, an e-mail notification will be sent by us to confirm such request. However, this notification is just an acknowledgement of your request and does not automatically qualify you for a refund. Upon receiving the request, we work with the concerned airlines to arrive at a waived amount based on the rules of the airlines and then notify you the decision of the airlines. Please note that we depend on the airlines to receive refunds. After approval of refund by the airlines, it might take some additional time for the same to reflect in your credit card statement. Generally, a penalty is charged for refunds by all airlines. The entire process, from receipt of your refund request to reflection of the same in your credit card statement, might take 60-90 days. Apart from the refund penalties imposed by the airline, a fee of $50 per ticket for processing this refund will be charged by Air Fiesta Travel. These fees will be assessed only if the airline has authorized the refund or a waiver has been received and when such refunds are permitted by rules of the airline. In case the airline does not process your refund, we will refund you the processing fees charged by us.

  • CANCEL AND EXCHANGE

     Most airline tickets are completely non-refundable and non-transferable. In cases where the airline does allow cancellations, a credit may be valid towards ticket purchase in future with travel on flights of the same airline. Fare difference (if any) and the applicable penalty will be added in such cases. The time constraints and expiration date of such credit should be discussed beforehand with the customer service agent. All such bookings that allow for cancellation must be cancelled prior to the scheduled departure time of the flight by calling our customer service representative. We do not guarantee any cancellation. At the time of booking cancellation, a cancellation fee of $50 per ticket is payable to us. This fee is retained by us. The credit available must be used within a certain time period and date or you will lose the credit amount. When making a new booking, you will have to pay the applicable fare difference, airline penalties and Travel Inc exchange fees. All such changes are governed by the rules and regulations of the airlines. No representations or guarantees on fees or changes are provided by Air Fiesta Travel. Read our Refunds policy if you’re cancelling a booking or applying for refund. For changing the flight dates or routing, read more about our Change policy.

SECURE FLIGHT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  •  What is Secure Flight and what does it do?
    Secure Flight is a government program that streamlines the security watch-list matching process. It will improve the travel experience for all passengers.

  •  What information will be collected by Secure Flight?
    Secure Flight requires all airlines to provide a passenger's name as it appears on the government-issued ID used for travel; date of birth; gender; and redress number (if applicable).

  •  Why is Secure Flight collecting this information?
    TSA determined that collecting the additional birth and gender data will greatly reduce the number of passengers misidentified as a match to the watch list.

  •  What happens if my airline didn't ask for any additional information?
    Secure Flight will be phased in, with each airline incorporating the necessary changes into their systems over the coming months. As a passenger, there should be no concern.

  •  If the name printed on my boarding pass is different than what appears on my government ID, will I still be able to fly?
    You should ensure that the name you provide when you book your travel matches the government ID you will use when traveling. This is the name used by the TSA for security watch-list matching. Your boarding pass is issued after the TSA has reviewed your information, so differences should not impact your travel.

  •  How do I know if I am on the No-Fly list?
    If you are issued a boarding pass, you are not on the No-Fly list. Any passenger who believes he/she has been delayed or denied boarding erroneously may seek redress through the Department of Homeland Security.
