The electronic ticket is particularly convenient since it confirms the purchase of a ticket without the need of any printed document. The airline with which you travel, stores all the details of the ticket in its central system of reservations. This means that you don' t have to show a printed ticket in order to get on the plane and you won't have to worry about forgetting or losing your ticket (since it is not the traditional paper ticket). Having an electronic ticket, allows you to go directly to the check-in counter holding your passport or identity card and a copy of the e-mail booking confirmation (the copy of the e-mail will the agent of the airline to locate your seat faster).

Electronic ticket or 'e-ticket' is a paperless ticketing system whereby the ticket is held in the airline's database. It contains all the information shown on a paper ticket, so we are not sending you the actual ticket via email but only the information you need at the check-in and it is stored as an electronic record in the airline's computer system. When the e-ticket has been issued, the passenger needs to print out their ticket showing the booking reference. At the departure airport, the passenger goes straight to the airline check-in desk.E-tickets cannot be lost or be used by anyone else, so they are safer than standard paper tickets.

During the search procedure, you will have to select the number of passengers who will travel, from each age category. You may include up to 9 passengers per reservation.
The categories are the following ones:
- Adults: Passengers 12 years old or older.
- Children: Passengers from 2 to 12 years old. Tickets for unaccompanied children, younger than 12 years old, cannot be booked via Asfartrip.com (online).
- Infants / Babies (without seat) are considered the passengers below 2 years old.
Every passenger, older than 12 years old, may escort a baby in his arms.
Just keep in mind that some flights do not offer special prices for children and/or babies.
In this case you will need to issue an adult ticket for your child and/or infant.

In case your children (2-11 years old) need to travel unaccompanied, we recommend you to contact us by phone. We cannot issue tickets for unaccompanied children via Asfartrip.com (online). Some general rules for unaccompanied children are the following ones:
Children older than 5 years old can usually travel unaccompanied on a direct flight or on a flight with correspondence (however they cannot fly with the last correspondence flight of the day). The exact age for which this policy applies, varies from airline to airline therefore we strongly recommend that you contact directly the specific airline in order to be further informed. A lot of airlines offer escort service (usually by a flight attendant) for minors travelling alone.
Children under 5 years old, cannot travel unless they are accompanied by an older passenger (who must be usually older than 15 years old). A lot of airlines may charge an extra fee for the children escort service. The airlines usually need to know who will receive the unaccompanied child and an identity card demonstration is required at the reception of the child. Possible unability of identification card demonstration may cause delay on the procedure, that is why we highly recommend you that you previously consult the specific requirements of each airline. In any case it is essential that you communicate with the airline before booking any ticket for an unaccompanied child.

A lot of airlines offer discounts for infants and children. These discounts may vary depending on the company, the flight and the seat availability.

Right after the completion of the reservation procedure on our web page, a success page will be displayed on your screen and a booking reservation e-mail will be sent to you containing all the information regarding your reservation and once your payment has been processed & verified. We will send you a 'booking confirmation' e-mail. This contains:
Your booking reference number
Your flight details
Your e-ticket or PNR in case of Low Cost Carriers (some not all)
Please be informed that we reserve the right to cancel the booking and refund the amount paid, and we reserve the right to adjust prices and taxes before the ticket has been issued if this is considered necessary

The minimum connecting time is the standard amount of time needed to make a connecting flight at a particular airport. This standard is determined by the air traffic conferences and varies according to the airport and the airline. The connection times we offer on our website are in accordance with these standards, so you don't have to worry about them.
In the event that your flight is delayed, causing you to miss your connecting flight, it is the airlines responsibility to rebook you on the next available flight. Should there not be other flights that day the airline should offer you accommodation. This is only valid if your journey was booked on one ticket.
Meals and transport should also be offered by the airline if the waiting period is long.

Absolutely you can do that by using multi-city option.

It is not possible to book more than 9 people at the same time. BUT you can make two separate reservations on the website. Please bear in mind that we cannot guarantee that there will still be seats available when you make the second reservation as you might have grabbed the last seats with your first booking.

Yes, you can book tickets between any two cities across the globe.

Online check-in allows you to save time at the airport by checking in via the airline's website. Please note that online check-in is not supported by all airlines.

How early you need to check-in varies by airline, departure airport and destination. However, the following are general guidelines if you're checking-in baggage:
International Flights: check-in at least 3 hours before departure
European Flights: check-in at least 2 hours before departure
Domestic Flights (i.e. flights within the same country): check-in at least 90 minutes before departure We recommend that you check-in online where applicable to save yourself time.
You should aim to be in the departure hall in good time for boarding which usually begins 60 minutes prior to departure. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to complete all check-in formalities and security screening. Remember that airport security is extremely thorough and this can cause delays in reaching your desired boarding gate. Some airports are large enough where it takes anywhere between 15 - 20 minutes to reach the boarding gate.
Please keep in mind that you will need enough time until you pass the security controls especially during peak periods.

If you are a Schengen Zone citizen and you travel within Schengen Zone you just have to hold your identity card (your name should be written with Latin letters). While your id is enough for you to travel, passports are more common to use while travelling. If you travel outside Schengen Zone, you necessarily need your passport, while your ticket of return and visa may be essential also. We recommend you to consult the embassy of the country that you will visit, in order to be sure of which are the essential travel documents that you will need. Even if our travel consultant may inform you regarding the need of Visa issuing for a certain country, such reminder is not an obligation of ours.

Most airlines allow for minor corrections to misspelled names (e.g. Ahmed/Ahmad, Mohamed/Mohammad), but do not allow name changes to the travellers originally booked. If there is a spelling mistake, we shall request the airlines for a name correction. The final approval will come from the airlines. Kindly make sure you always enter the correct name as stated in your passport in order to avoid any inconvenience.

Airlines do not allow you to transfer your airline tickets to another traveller, you must cancel your original booking and book a new ticket.

Most airlines do not accept name changes after the ticket has been issued. It is sometimes possible to correct a few letters on a ticket against a fee, if the name has been misspelled. Please note that handling fees will apply when we check if the correction is possible even if the outcome is that the airline does not allow changes.

In most cases, the airline will permit us to reissue the ticket at a fee should the spelling mistake be no more than 3 letters in the name. Please note that handling fees will apply when we check if the correction is possible even if the outcome is that the airline does not allow changes.

You may choose to fly on your outbound flight and not use your return flight. However, this does not apply the other way around. If you don't check in for one of your flights, the airline will cancel all the remaining parts of the ticket, which will become useless. Please note that you will not get any money refunded for any parts of the ticket not used.

The airlines are sometimes forced to modify the itineraries, hours and number of their flights. In this case we will try to inform you for any changes before the date of departure so that you adjust your program to these changes. These changes are usually of minor importance without significant impact on your trip. If significant changes occur related to your flight (for example change in departure time for more than 2 hours or change of departure airport) and you have no alternative that suits you then you can request compensation from the airline, according to the passenger's rights established by the European Union, unless you have been informed on time by the airline.

We can provide you with the airline's contact details.
However, if you are flying a full-service airline (such as Emirates Airlines or Egypt Air), the ability to change or cancel your airline ticket is dependent on the type of ticket you purchased. Rebooked flights must be for the same traveller and on the same airline as the original booking. Apart from the amendment charges levied by the airline, Asfartrip.com charges a cancellation fee of AED40 per passenger.

Occasionally, airlines can make changes to their flight schedules to accommodate changes in equipment, routing, or capacity. Airlines may also make changes due to adverse weather, mechanical or crew issues. We will notify you by email if your booking is impacted by a planned airline schedule change. However, sometimes we do not receive advance notice, so we always encourage you to check your flight status 24 hours before departure. The airline will always offer a replacement flight as a result of a schedule change, but alternative flights are at the discretion of the airline and vary based on the rules associated with the fare of your ticket purchased. We will always work with the airline to find you an alternative flight as close to your original schedule as possible or a refund as per your convenience.

If the airline makes a decision to cancel a specific flight or route and you are not comfortable with the new flight provided by the airlines, we shall speak with the airlines to claim a refund on your existing ticket. The refund shall be processed to the same channel that was used to book. This refund will be subject to the airlines' approval.

All this data is immediately destroyed after the end of your travel.
