Beware of email scams
Phishing is a scam where a criminal sends an email asking for personal information, and attempts to trick the recipient into responding by clicking on a link, opening an attachment, or directly providing sensitive information.
The emails can be quite convincing, since they appear to come from established businesses or organizations, and sometimes even link to legitimate-looking websites. However, the information you provide—such as a social security or credit card number—goes directly to the criminal, who can then use the information to his or her own advantage.
What you can do We will never call or send an email asking for your password or other personal information. If you think you have received a fraudulent email
- Do not click on any links in the email or open any attachments.
- Contact us.
- Delete the email.
- Report the scam to the authorities.

Passport and Visa
How do I know if I need a Passport and/or Visa for my travel? What are the required documents and forms?
Passport and Visa requirements can be determined via your home country relevant ministries.
What is the difference between Visa validity and duration?
Validity refers to the amount of time before a travel document expires. Duration refers to the maximum stay in a country that is permitted on a visa.

In order to get a visa, most countries require that your passport be valid for at least 6 months past your scheduled return. If you are getting a multiple entry visa, and your passport is set to expire soon, you might consider getting your passport renewed first, since most visas in your passport are no longer valid once your passport has expired.

Flight Reservations
If the name printed on my boarding pass is different than what appears on my government ID, will I still be able to fly?
The name you provide when booking your travel is used to perform the watch list matching before a boarding pass is ever issued. You should ensure that the name provided when booking your travel matches the government ID that you will use when traveling. Due to difference in boarding pass systems, boarding passes may not always display the exact name you provided when booking your travel. Differences such as the use of a middle initial instead of a full middle name or no middle name/initial at all, hyphens or apostrophes) should not cause a problem for the passenger.
Why are the fares different from other sites?
Airlines practice the marketing concept known as “yield management,” where they sell as many seats as they can at the highest price they can get. It is impossible to pinpoint the cost of any single seat on any given flight. For example, some seats will be assigned special fares for corporate clients, while other seats will have been sold through a consolidator at a discount. Similarly, some fares may have been bought at a discount with frequent-flier award points or from a last minute Web special. At our site, you will always be quoted the lowest fare available to us at that time.
