How do I book a flight on Trip.com?
To book, start by choosing one-way or return flights, the class, and the number of passengers. Enter the departure and arrival cities, select travel dates, and search for available options. After picking a flight, add passenger details and any extras like baggage or insurance. Confirm the details, proceed to payment, and wait for a confirmation email once your ticket is issued.
Can I book tickets for children or infants?
Children are considered passengers aged 2 to 11, while infants are those under 2. Usually, child and infant tickets must be booked with an adult ticket. Some airlines do not allow booking child or infant tickets through Trip.com, so you may need to book directly with the airline. Always check the age requirements for accompanying adults with the airline before booking.
Why is my booking not going through?
Airline fares change often due to supply and demand. If a booking fails, the price may have changed, or the flight may be sold out. Refreshing the page can show the latest fares. Payment problems may also arise, so check that the card details are entered correctly.
What is Flexibooking on Trip.com?
Flexibooking lets travelers enjoy more flexible changes and cancellations. Eligible bookings offer peace of mind if travel plans need to change. This option allows travelers to book in advance without stressing over unexpected changes. Always review the policy details before finishing a booking.
How long is a flight ticket valid?
Most flight tickets are valid for one year from the issue date. However, validity rules can differ by airline, so it is essential to check the ticket policy. If changes or cancellations are allowed, they must be made before the validity expires. After this period, the ticket is no longer valid.
How do I select my seat?
Seats can be chosen during booking if the “Seat Selection” option is available. Once a seat is chosen and confirmed, it cannot be canceled on Trip.com. After booking, you can select seats through the Flight Bookings page if the option is there. Some airlines may require you to contact them directly for online seat selection.
Why can’t I select a seat online?
Some airlines, routes, and code-share flights do not offer online seat selection. It may also be too close to departure time to choose seats. Certain seats may require an extra fee, which might not be available through Trip.com. If you can’t select a seat, try the airline’s website or request a seat at the airport counter.
How can I cancel a seat selection?
You can cancel a seat selection through the Trip.com website, airline websites, or at the airport counter. On Trip.com, go to Flight Bookings, select your booking, and use the seat cancellation option. With airlines, enter your booking reference (PNR) on their site to cancel directly. At airports, airline staff can help with seat changes.
How do I request extra baggage allowance?
You can add baggage during booking if the option appears after entering passenger details. If it doesn’t, complete the booking first and then check the Flight Bookings page for an add-on option. Prices often need to be confirmed with the airline, and payment is usually needed quickly. Alternatively, you can add baggage through the airline’s website.
What if I cannot find the flight I want?
If a flight is unavailable, it may already be sold out or not displayed anymore. Adjusting your travel dates or looking for alternative routes may reveal more options. Airline schedules and availability change often, so being flexible can help you find a suitable flight. Checking back later may also help secure the right booking.
