Straight answers on fares, payments, changes, baggage and support from the FlightFaresNow desk.
The questions our phone desk hears every day, answered in one place. Anything missing? Drop a line to [email protected] and a real agent will reply.
Type where you're leaving from, where you're headed, your dates and how many are flying, then run the search. The engine sweeps live inventory across hundreds of carriers and sorts what it finds by price, so the cheapest workable option is the first thing you see. Pick a flight, add passenger details, pay — done.
Choose a result, look over the itinerary summary, then type each traveler's name letter-for-letter as their passport or ID shows it. Pay through the encrypted checkout and watch your inbox: the confirmation email arrives once the airline issues the ticket.
No — guest checkout works fine. Just make sure the email address and phone number you give are ones you actually check, since every confirmation and schedule alert goes there.
The fares we show are live airline inventory with taxes and fees already counted in. Airlines control pricing and seats right up until ticket issue, so a fare can occasionally sell out mid-booking — but whatever price and fare rules appear at your checkout are the ones that bind your ticket. Optional extras such as seat selection or additional bags are priced separately by the airline.
Card processing runs through PCI-DSS-compliant payment providers with encryption in transit, and Flight Fares Now never keeps your full card number readable on our systems. The Privacy Policy spells out the specifics.
Mostly the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and India — and the destinations we ticket span the whole airline network, worldwide.
Usually something can be done — what exactly depends on the fare rules attached to your ticket, and airline penalties may apply. The sooner you ring us, the more options stay open. The Cancellation Policy covers the mechanics.
For refundable fares, the amount — minus any airline penalty and applicable service fee — goes back onto the card you paid with. Because the airline's own refund pipeline is part of the process, several weeks is normal. See the Refund Policy for the full picture.
That is decided by the operating airline and varies with your fare class and route — a basic-economy transatlantic fare and a full-fare domestic ticket can differ wildly. Look up the carrier's baggage table before packing so the airport can't surprise you.
Online check-in typically opens 24–48 hours out. Feed the booking reference from your confirmation email into the airline's site or app, or check in at the counter — just get to the airport with time to spare, doubly so for international departures.
Phone, any hour — or email [email protected] if it can wait. Numbers are on the Contact page. Keep your booking reference nearby when you call; it lets the agent pull your file in seconds.
