It must be emphasized that the vast majority of airline tickets are non-transferable, and as such name changes are not normally permitted. It is therefore essential that you enter passengers' names as per passport at the time of booking. For online scheduled flight bookings, the rules regarding cancellations and amendments for the fare purchased are shown during the booking process, please ensure you read these carefully.
minorbooking.com, as agents for the airlines/consolidator must abide by the airlines' terms and conditions – we are unable to deviate from the fare rules/ supplier's conditions. Where changes or refunds are permitted, minorbooking.com will apply administration fees (in line with our current rates) in addition to any fees charged by the supplier, if you ask us to amend or cancel your booking. This is to cover the costs we incur in administering cancellations and amendments.
Any request to amend or cancel a reservation must be notified to minorbooking.com in writing, and can not be actioned until received by us. Requests received outside our opening hours can not be processed until we reopen the next working day, and if we need to contact the travel supplier to effect the change/cancellation, until we are able to contact them.
You are responsible for complying with any airline's terms, for example in relation to check-in times, reconfirmation of flights and other matters. minorbooking.com accepts no responsibility for bookings cancelled due to non-compliance with the airline's rules.
For scheduled flight tickets there are additional terms which apply to each fare. These terms may include, for example, conditions relating to changes, refunds, minimum and maximum duration of stay. Generally, the more flexible the ticket, the more expensive it is likely to be and you need to take various points into consideration before deciding between the fares on offer.
The flights confirmed on your ticket must be used in order of sequence (in the order set out in your itinerary). If this requirement is not met, the airline may cancel any onward flights, and you are unlikely to receive any refund.
Some airlines require you to reconfirm each flight 72 hours prior to departure, and may cancel your flight if you do not do so. If you fail to reconfirm you may be refused permission to board the aircraft and you are unlikely to receive any refund. In any case, minorbooking.com strongly recommends that you reconfirm all flights in this way in case of last minute schedule changes.
The type of tickets which will be issued for your booking depends on the airline and route you are booking. The majority of airlines are increasingly issuing electronic tickets, and minorbooking.com will issue electronic tickets whenever the itinerary permits (airlines now insist that e-tickets are issued in these circumstances). For charter flights, paper tickets will be sent by normal post. If you lose your paper tickets, you must notify us as soon as possible. It may be possible to reissue them for a fee (depending on the airline's/ supplier's rules). If so, the cost may depend on the circumstances of the loss and how close to the departure date you discover it. In all cases, the charge, and procedure to be followed, will vary according to the airline's policy. minorbooking.com reserves the right to charge fees to cover the administration costs of this.
