Reservations cannot be changed online. If you need to a make change to your reservation, please contact our Customer Service Center at 1-866-270-2849 for assistance. If your cancellation or change request is made after the cutoff date applicable hotel penalties noted in the cancellation policy section of your reservation may apply. Changes or cancellations made after check-in are subject to 100% penalty. Once you have checked into a hotel you cannot cancel nor receive credit for unused nights if you check-out early.
NOTE: You may be required to cancel your original reservation and rebook it for the new dates. However, we suggest you first check availability for the new desired dates in order to avoid any disappointment from canceling your first booking if the new dates are not available.
What is the cancellation policy? Will my credit card be charged if I do not cancel my reservation(s)? Cancellation policies vary from each hotel and are implemented by hotels to avoid holding a room available for a guest who will not use it. If you do not cancel your reservation within the allotted cancellation period, the hotel will charge a penalty (usually one night's room charge plus tax) to the credit card provided to reserve the room. Please be sure to review the cancellation policy for your hotel carefully during the booking process. If you have questions about the cancellation policy for your particular hotel reservation, please contact our Customer Care Center for assistance.
For non-cancelable reservations, no changes or cancellations are permitted once a confirmation number is issued.
My cancellation policy reads "Cancel 24 hours prior to arrival" and I plan on checking in at 11:00 pm. Can I cancel my reservation by 11:00 pm on the day before my arrival? Cancellation policies are related to the hotel check-in time, not your projected arrival time. If your hotel cancellation policy indicates a 24, 48 or 72 hour cancellation policy, it means you must cancel your reservation by 4:00 pm local hotel time of the date in question.
What if I do not receive a confirmation at the time of booking?
If your confirmation page does not display after completing your booking, please check your email for your confirmation. If you do not receive your email confirmation within ten minutes please complete our request form and a duplicate copy will be emailed to you.
What if I do not receive my email confirmation? If you do not receive an email after making a reservation, it may be that we have the incorrect email address or your Internet Service Provider may have blocked the email. If your Internet Service Provider supplies you with a SPAM filter, please check that folder. Please complete our request form here. Be sure to include the following information:
The name the reservation was booked under
The hotel name and location (city)
The check-in/check-out dates
How long will it take for the hotel to have my reservation information? The time it takes for a hotel will vary by specific hotel and arrival date. In most cases the hotel should receive the reservation within an hour from booking (except for nights and weekends when the hotel reservation department is closed.
There are certain reservations that are booked out of an allotment. These rooms are guaranteed and payment will be due upon check-out of the hotel. In some cases the hotel will not have your name on the reservation until approximately one week prior to arrival.
If you booked a discounted prepaid reservation, please print out a copy of your voucher and bring it to the hotel to provide documentation that your reservation was paid in advance.
What is a Save Rate Hotel? Save Rate Hotels are special discounted room rates that are designated by a icon. We book a high volume at these hotels to be able to negotiate lower rates than are generally offered to the public. When you book a Save Rate, you can be confident you are getting a great deal as they are backed by our Best Rate Guarantee.
Why are Save Rates Hotels prepaid? Prepaid reservations allow hotels to extend their deepest discounts. By prepaying your reservation you are assured that the rate paid is secured and that you will not be subject to room rate increases. The hotel room is charged to your credit card at the time of the booking. Hotels typically collect payment information separately for incidentals such as meals, movies, parking and phone calls. Cancellation terms and fees apply to prepaid bookings.
What if I find a lower price after booking a Save Rate? If you find a lower price on another website within 24 hours of booking a Save Rate hotel, simply complete our Best Rate Guarantee Request Form.
If the lower rate on a travel website can be verified to our satisfaction, we will match the rate PLUS pay you 10% of the difference in price.
Our reservations services provide you with the convenience of booking rooms for groups at the hotel of your choice. For your convenience you can book up to four rooms online through our hotel booking engine.
What is the Best Rate Guarantee? Our Save Rate Hotels are guaranteed to be lowest rate available online at the time of booking. If you find a lower price on another website within 24 hours of booking a Save Rate Hotel, simply complete our Best Rate Guarantee Request Form. If the lower rate on a travel website can be verified to our satisfaction, we will match the rate PLUS pay you 10% of the difference in price.
How do I know if I qualify for a specific rate? Rates displayed may include government, corporate, senior and AAA discounts. At the time of check-in, you may be required to present special documentation to confirm that you are qualified to receive the rate booked. Please refer to the rate description for information regarding ID or membership requirements. You will not receive these special rates at check-in without the proper identification, even if you booked the special rates online.
Can I use coupons from the hotel?
Currently we cannot accept hotel coupons towards your reservation.
What if I find a lower price after booking a hotel?
If you find a lower price on another website within 24 hours of booking a Save Rate hotel, simply complete our Best Rate Guarantee Request Form. If the lower rate on a travel website can be verified to our satisfaction, we will match the rate PLUS pay you 10% of the difference in price.
What is the hotel check-in time? Typically, the hotel check-in time is after 3:00 pm local hotel time.
Will the hotel hold my room if I am arriving late? Because your reservation is guaranteed with a credit card the hotel is obligated to hold your room until 7:00 am the day after arrival.
What if I need early arrival? Early arrival should be requested in the special request section of the reservation page. Every effort will be made to accommodate your request; however it is subject to availability upon arrival at the hotel.
What if there will be more than two adults in the room? Most hotels allow additional guests to stay in the rooms at a charge (usually between $10 - $20 USD per person, per night) provided the room has not exceeded the maximum number of guests per room. If you book a room that cannot accommodate your party size, the hotel may cancel your reservation or require that you book additional rooms. Please note that we can not be held responsible if you book a room type that cannot accommodate your party size.
Our children will be traveling with us - do they stay free? In the United States children less than 12 years of age typically stay for free in the room using the existing bedding. In most other countries only children under the age of three stay free. The age requirements differ depending on the specific hotels policies, which can be viewed in the hotel information. It is the hotel's discretion to charge additional fees for extra persons staying in a room.
What if I need a specific type of hotel room (non smoking, handicapped, etc...)?
Please enter your request in the special request field of the reservation form. Every effort will be made to accommodate your request(s); however they are subject to availability upon arrival at the hotel and cannot be guaranteed.
If I check out early on a Save Rate reservation, can I obtain a refund for the nights I did not stay? Upon arrival and check-in at a hotel, you are responsible for consuming the entire length of stay. No refunds or credits will be issued for any nights reserved, but not consumed.
How can I obtain a receipt for my hotel room? Your e-mail confirmation is your receipt. Please retain a copy for your records. If you need a duplicate copy, please contact our Customer Service Center and provide them with the following information:
Guest first/last name
Check-in/check-out dates
Hotel name
A copy of your reservation will be sent to you via email.
What credit cards do you accept? We currently accept the following major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
Will my credit card be charged when I book my reservation? This varies with the type of rate selected and the hotel selected. All Save Rate reservations are charged at time of booking, including any service fees noted in the taxes and fees section. For additional information, please refer to the hotel's individual deposit policy.
We are so confident that your credit card transaction will be secure that we back every online purchase made on our booking engine with our Shop Safe Guarantee.
Most car reservations can be changed or cancelled online. Cancellation fees for car reservations do not apply, unless a NonRefundable Service Fee was stated at the time of booking. To change or cancel your reservation click here to retrieve your reservation. Once you have located your reservation, click on Modify or Cancel to change or cancel your reservation
After completing your booking you should receive a confirmation page with your Trip ID # followed by a confirmation email. If you did not receive your confirmation email, we recommend that you check the Spam folder in your email to ensure that your confirmation email was not auto-filtered to that folder. Additionally, you may want to add us to your "allowed" senders list so that we can send you confirmation emails and information regarding your future departures. If you don't receive your confirmation email, you can always verify your reservations online.
No, with our car reservation system, you can pick up your car at an airport or locations outside the airport, depending upon what is available. Rental car companies have offices in cities, at resorts, at ports and other frequently visited locations.
Be sure to check the policies indicated by your rental. Most companies provide a description of any geographical restrictions and drop-off information. If there is such a charge, it will be included in the total estimate at the time of booking.
Check the policies for the location of your desired rental. The age restriction changes from location to location and from country to country. In the United States, the standard minimum rental age is 25. Some locations have exceptions for corporate accounts and may allow persons as young as 21 years of age to rent a car. In some countries, this restriction can be higher or lower. Please check the policies section on age restriction for more detailed information. Please be aware that additional charges may apply for renters under the standard age.
Check the policies for the location of your desired rental. Most rentals do not automatically include insurance coverage. However, several types of coverage can be purchased at most locations, such as loss/damage waivers, personal accident insurance, and supplemental liability insurance.
If you are picking up your car at an airport location, the desk location of the rental company will be listed in the reservation. You can also obtain any transportation details (such as shuttle information) and the telephone number of the company and other information from the policies section of your reservation.
The requirements differ from company to company, but in almost all cases you must present a valid driver's license and a valid credit card (not an ATM or Debit Card) under the name of the renter. Also, you should have a good driving record - some companies check your driving record at the counter and your rental may be denied due to a suspended license, excessive points, drunk driving convictions, et cetera. It is a good idea to contact the company in advance if you feel there may be a problem.
We are so confident that your credit card transaction will be secure that we back every online purchase made on our booking engine with our Shop Safe Guarantee.
How do I find a Last Minute Deal? Can you help me navigate?
From the Last Minute Deals page, follow these five steps:
CHOOSE your departure city and preferred dates of travel.
LOOK at the variety of packages available for your dates.
FIND the experience that interests you most.
ENHANCE the experience to make it exactly what you want, from your accommodations to any optional extras you'd like to add, and GO!
If you are looking for a specific destination or activity, it's also easy to use the search box located in the upper right corner of the homepage. Simply type in your search criteria, click go, and you'll get a list of available packages that include your search term(s).
Availability changes all the time, so if you don't see what you're looking for right away, check back again later and you may find it!
Will you have the same great deal next month that you have today?
We work closely with our partner travel providers to offer customers the best trips at the last minute. Since we work with last minute inventory, we do not know what packages will be available more than 14 days in advance. And as soon as we know, you know. Our dynamic technology constantly queries reservations systems to find what's available right now at the best prices.
Due to the dynamic nature of our offerings, we cannot predict or guarantee the future availability of any of our packages.
If a package is listed on the site now, it's available, but we do not know if or when the same package will be offered again.
Can I buy a package more than 14 days in advance?
Since we offer last minute inventory, we do not know what our offerings will be more than 14 days in advance. And as soon as we know, you know. Our dynamic technology constantly queries reservations systems to find what's available right now at the best prices.
How late can I buy a package?
We sell packages for domestic (US) destinations up to three hours before the flight departs and for international destinations up to five hours before--for the truly last minute customer!
Can you hold a package for me?
Our great deals sell out fast, so we do not hold packages for customers. Because availability changes all the time, we recommend that you buy a package as soon as possible after choosing it.
Do you offer a specific destination or a specific activity?
If you have a specific activity in mind (such as golf, tennis etc.), the best way to find your package is to use the keyword search. Simply type in your keyword, click go and you will be offered a list of available packages.
I know where I want to go. How do I find out if you have my destination?
Destination Search makes finding your perfect getaway easier than ever! If you already know where you want to go, simply find the Search by Destination box at the top of the homepage, choose your departure city, your destination state (or international), and destination city and GO! We'll show you all the available packages that fit your search criteria.
Remember, availability changes all the time, so if you don't see your city, check back again later and you may find it!
Can I take a longer trip or do you just offer weekend travel?
We currently specialize in weekend getaways and longer weekend trips. Thus, our arrangements with our air travel providers are structured in such a way that the earliest we depart in the week is Thursday, and the latest we return in the week is Tuesday with a mandatory Saturday night stay. We are growing rapidly though, and we're planning to extend to longer trips in the future.
Can I take a trip mid-week?
The arrangements we have with our air travel providers are structured in such a way that the earliest we depart in the week is usually Thursday, and the latest we return in the week is normally Tuesday with a mandatory Saturday night stay. However, we do offer mid-week departures and returns for travel to Las Vegas, as well as Wednesday departures from select cities to Hawaii. Mid-week travel may be an option to and from other destinations in the future, so keep checking back.
Flight & Hotel: This package includes your flight, your hotel accommodations for the duration of your stay and often some additional options to add-on if you would like.
Flight plus: This package includes your flight, PLUS one other component that is NOT a hotel room, such as car rental, pre-paid dinner, hot-air balloon ride, etc. This package type is intended for use when you already have a place to stay in your destination.
Hotel plus: This package includes your hotel PLUS one other component that is NOT a flight, such as car rental, pre-paid dinner, etc. This package type is intended for when you already have transportation to your destination.
Do you sell last minute cruises?
We currently do not sell cruise packages, but we are looking into cruises for future expansion.
How can I be sure I'm getting a good deal?
We negotiate with our partners to bring you the best prices available for last minute travel. Finding a better price on a comparable trip at the last minute for the same dates is next to impossible! And when you consider that we've handled all the arrangements with our top-tier partner airlines, hotels and other travel partners, you'll find that our packages are an unbeatable deal.
Is there an additional charge for single travelers? Can I take a trip by myself?
Although we list our prices per person based on double occupancy, you can travel by yourself. After you have chosen a package, you will have the option to enter the number of people traveling. Simply choose one adult when prompted for the number of people and advance to the next page.
Traveling by yourself with some of our packages will increase the price per person, however, because you will need to pay for the entire hotel room (or rental car) instead of sharing the cost with another person. The initial prices quoted on the site are per person, based on double occupancy.
Do you have special prices for children or senior citizens?
No, our prices are the lowest around for last minute travel, so we do not offer any discounts for children or senior citizens.
How do you price for infants traveling without their own airline seats?
If you choose infants (under 2) traveling without airline seats, we assume the child will be sitting on a parent's lap during flight. Your final price per person will not reflect any charges for a child seated on a parent's lap. Please contact Customer Service Department after your purchase, so that we may enter your infant's information into your reservation. If you would like a seat for the child, please choose "infants (under 2) with airline seat." Charges will apply.
If you are traveling internationally with an infant, please contact the airline directly upon booking your getaway. The airline may assess additional charges, and documentation such as birth certificate may be required.
Why should I add optional recommendations to my package online instead of waiting until I get there to book them?
In addition to saving you money, we like to save you time. We understand that when you're booking a getaway at the last minute, it's not always easy to make plans to enjoy while on your getaway. Since we negotiate great deals through partnerships with various travel and entertainment providers, we make activities, meals and other events easy to reserve. We never sell experiences for more than the retail price and it is unlikely that you would get a better deal from these providers on your own.
Do you offer bereavement fares?
Our prices are the lowest around for last minute travel. We do not offer bereavement fares.
Is the entire cost of my hotel room(s) included in the package price?
Your package purchase includes your room rate and applicable taxes for domestic (US) travel. If you are traveling to Canada or Mexico, you may be charged a local "Hotel Occupancy Tax" upon checkout. If your package includes a hotel stay in Europe, you will be assessed value added taxes (VAT) upon checkout. These are the same taxes that would be assessed if you reserved your accommodations through a travel agent or with the hotel directly. The package price does not include incidentals you may incur such as extra-person charges, extra-bed charges, resort fees, gratuities, energy surcharges, parking fees, telephone fees, room service, movies and mini-bar. Extra-person or extra-bed charges may apply if you reserve one hotel room for more than two people (including children). Please contact the hotel directly if you would like more information about possible extra-person charges.
Will there be any extra fees or costs charged for my travel package?
Our car rental packages include the rental rate and taxes. Except as specifically noted as included in the rate, items such as surcharges (such as frequent flyer tax recovery, airport concession fees, special assessments, age, registration and license reimbursement fees, etc.), optional coverages (such as LDW, PAI, LIS, ALI, PEC, and PEP), fuel service, additional driver, drop-off, and other charges are NOT included and must be paid for directly to the rental car company. Gasoline, upgrades from your reserved car type, or additional equipment (such as child seats or ski racks) are NOT included.
How do I get started buying a package?
Now you can browse Last Minute Deals either by date or by destination. If you're searching by date, use the Search by Date box to choose your departure city and the dates you wish to travel. If you're looking for a specific destination, use the Search by Destination box to choose your departure city, your destination state (or international), and destination city.
The site will return a list of available packages that fit your search criteria. Find your package, choose your components, and go!
Do I have to buy online?
Yes. Last Minute Deals are only available for online purchase.
I'm experiencing technical difficulties. What do I do?
If you experience any technical difficulties, please contact Customer Service right away and a representative will assist you with your purchase.
What credit cards do you accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Diner's Club.
If you would like to use a debit card, please be aware that most debit cards have daily limits of $500.
If your package exceeds $500, please call your bank and request that they release the funds before attempting the transaction.
I haven't received my confirmation email yet.
If you have not received your confirmation email, we are still processing your order and confirming your bookings with our partners. Please be patient. We will send it to you shortly.
Why are the taxes so high? What are the taxes for? (Why are there taxes included in the price and what are they for?)
Federal, state and local governments assess a variety of taxes and fees in association with traveling and transportation. For example, U.S. airports charge airlines a Passenger Facilities Charge or PFC for every passenger on arriving and departing flights to cover airport costs. Airlines, in turn, pass that fee on to us and we pass it on to you. If you buy a flight from the airline directly, they would pass this nominal charge directly to you.
Because state and local governments have the ability to set their own tax rates, we are unable to give you all the potential rates.
Can I buy a one-way ticket?
All of our packages that have flights include roundtrip airfare. We do not sell one-way tickets. However, we often hear the comment that many of our bundled packages with roundtrip airfare are better value than airfare alone!
How will the increased security measures at airports affect my getaway?
Your airline tickets will be issued as E-tickets. Due to heightened FAA security requirements, only ticketed airline passengers will be allowed to proceed through security checkpoints. As an E-ticket holder, you may need to check in at a ticket counter or present the appropriate documentation in order to proceed through security. Individual airlines will determine which documentation (i.e. paper tickets, boarding passes, or reservation confirmations) will be allowed. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you bring your confirmation email with you to the airport.
Other increased security measures at the airports might include:
No parking or waiting at curbs.
Passengers must carry government-issued photo ID such as driver's license or passport.
Passengers will be allowed only one carry-on plus one personal item (such as purse or laptop).
All carry-on baggage will be subject to extensive search.
No knives of any kind or similar sharp instruments will be allowed on airplanes.
How will I receive my airline tickets and hotel reservations?
All packages are available for online booking, and all travel is "paperless." Airline tickets are issued as E-tickets, thus you simply need to present your ID and airline confirmation number at the airport to obtain your boarding pass. Hotels and other partners are notified by us and given your reservation information.
To be sure you have all the necessary information to make your Last Minute Deal as enjoyable as possible, we suggest you print your confirmation and itinerary email and bring it with you when traveling.
What do I need to bring with me?
It is necessary to carry a valid, government-issued photo ID with you during your getaway. This ID should be a driver's license and major credit (NOT debit) card if you are renting a car as part of your last minute travel experience, and a passport if you are traveling internationally. Please be aware that documentation requirements vary depending upon the country you plan to visit and your immigration status in the United States. For the most detailed up to date information on overseas travel, visit www.state.gov/travel for the latest travel advisories. If you are not a U.S. citizen, please contact the embassy of the country to which you are traveling to determine your visa/ entry requirements. We strongly recommend that you bring your confirmation email with you, especially if your package includes air travel. Heightened FAA security may require you to show your confirmation email as proof that you are a ticket-holder.
Can I buy just an airline ticket or just a hotel room?
We sell packages, which allow us to offer excellent value to our customers. In fact, we often hear the comment that many of our bundled packages are better value than airfare alone!
All of our offerings are composed of at least two components from the following list: flights, hotel accommodations, rental car and entertainment options such as walking tours, ski passes, pre-paid meals, balloon rides and more.
How many people can I book per hotel room?
Accommodating more than two persons (including children) in one hotel room may result in extra-person charges upon checkout from your hotel. Please contact the hotel directly if you would like to inquire about extra-person charges. Our pricing is based on double occupancy.
Are there any specific rules or age requirements to renting a car?
Most rental car companies require that renters be at least 25 years of age and have a valid driver's license and major credit card. If you're booking a rental car with us, check the terms of service listed on the rental car page before booking, and if you have further questions, please call the rental car company directly for their policies.
Also, please note: Insurance, gas, upgrades and charges other than the base price of the car plus tax are not included in the price of the package, and must be paid for at the counter.
What should I know before buying a package to an international destination?
All packages for international destinations have a Before You Go section, which includes such information as entry requirements, currency and local transportation. Be sure to read this information carefully before buying an international package, and please keep in mind that international travel generally requires that you have a valid passport. If you are traveling internationally with an infant, please contact the airline directly upon booking your getaway. Some airlines may assess additional charges and may require documentation such as a birth certificate.
Why are there no other flight times available?
Our dynamic technology allows us to show you the best deals available right now for the travel dates or destination that you have selected. Flight availability changes all the time, so it is possible that if you check back later, new flights will appear. It is also possible, however, that our availability will drop off, so flight times you previously viewed may no longer be listed. If you see a package you want, it is best to buy it immediately as last minute availability is limited.
Is the entire cost of my hotel room(s) included in the package price?
Your package purchase includes your room rate and applicable taxes for domestic (US) travel. If you are traveling to Canada or Mexico, you may be charged a local "Hotel Occupancy Tax" upon checkout. If your package includes a hotel stay in Europe, you will be assessed value added taxes (VAT) upon checkout. These are the same taxes that would be assessed if you reserved your accommodations through a travel agent or with the hotel directly. The package price does not include incidentals you may incur such as extra-person charges, extra-bed charges, resort fees, gratuities, energy surcharges, parking fees, telephone fees, room service, movies and mini-bar. Extra-person or extra-bed charges may apply if you reserve one hotel room for more than two people (including children). Please contact the hotel directly if you would like more information about possible extra-person charges.
What is the quality of the hotels included in the packages?
We have partnered with the leaders in the travel industry including Sheraton, Westin, Hyatt, Inter-Continental, and Holiday Inn hotels. In order to provide a range of package types and prices, many of our packages offer you a choice of which hotel you would like. We provide full details of each property and you will always know what hotel you will be booked in before you complete your purchase.
Will I be charged additional hotel taxes?
If your package includes only domestic (US) travel, all taxes are included in your final package price. If you travel to Canada or Mexico, you may be charged a local "Hotel Occupancy Tax" upon checkout. If your package includes a hotel stay in Europe, you will be assessed value added taxes (VAT) upon checkout. These are the same taxes that would be assessed if you reserved your accommodations through a travel agent or with the hotel directly.
Will I be subject to additional security checks?
As an E-ticket holder, you will need to check in at a ticket counter and present the appropriate documentation in order to proceed through security. Please be aware that you and your bags will receive extra attention and scrutiny from security due to the last minute nature of your purchase.
Can I book a package for two people departing from different cities (and meeting at our destination)?
Currently, our technology does not allow the purchase of a package for travelers who have different origination cities, so the best way for two people to travel from two different cities to the same destination is to look for two different types of packages- one package for each traveler.
The first package is a flight & hotel package, which the first of the two travelers would purchase as a solo traveler. The full cost of the hotel room will appear in this package.
The second package, purchased by the second traveler, is a flight plus package, such as our Fly & Drive option, which includes a flight and rental car. This second package does not include hotel, but would include the full price of the car.
Both travelers together will pay no more this way than if they bought one package that included the flight for two, the hotel room and the car, though distribution of this cost may not be even. We leave the fair division of your travel costs up to you.
Do you offer any packages geared to specific communities or demographics?
Packages are often written with a theme, event or mood in mind and recommendations and suggestions are added accordingly. We offer a few packages each week that include suggestions of particular interest to gay travelers, and sometimes we may suggest events or activities that have ethnic, regional or religious appeal.
We intend our suggestions to add value to our offerings and allow you to enjoy the perks of planning at the last minute. We usually offer a variety of packages to the same destination with the intention that one will appeal to you. If you want to travel to a specific destination but the suggestions don't appeal to you, there is no need to take advantage of them.
Enjoyment of our last-minute travel experiences is not dependent on demographics such as race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.
Can I upgrade my flight, hotel or car reservations, or make other special requests for my package?
All upgrade options available through this site are disclosed during your selection process. When available, there will be opportunity to select your hotel room or upgrade your rental car or other options. Due the last-minute nature of our packages, it is not possible to choose your airline seat during your booking.
Can I request a specific airline seat?
Due to the last-minute nature of our packages, we do not assign specific airline seats. Once you have completed the purchase and received your confirmation email, you may contact the airline directly for your seat assignments.
Can I request a meal on the flight?
Due to the last-minute nature of our packages, we do not handle special meal requests. Once you have completed the purchase and received your confirmation email, you may contact the airline directly for meal requests.
Can you send me an itemized receipt that breaks down the individual cost of air, hotel, or rental car?
We are happy to resend you a copy of your confirmation email. However, we are unable to provide you with individual receipts for air, hotel or car inventory. We sell bundled packages and our relationships with our suppliers prevent us from disclosing individual prices.
What is your cancellation, refund or change policy? All purchases are final. In order for us to bring you continued value on last-minute travel through our national and regional partners, we cannot provide refunds or exchanges. We cannot change dates or times of travel, hotel choice or names of travelers after a package is purchased.
Can I change the dates or times of my travel?
Since we sell only what's available, we can only guarantee reservations included in your package at the time of purchase. Once a package is purchased, we cannot change dates or times of travel.
What happens if a flight or trip is canceled?
As with any trip, call ahead to verify your departure time and reservation. Our offers are guaranteed available, but airlines do overbook, and anything's possible in the world of travel. Please reconfirm where possible. If your flight is canceled by the airline due to weather, mechanical difficulties, overbooking, etc., the airline is responsible for ensuring that you are booked on the next available flight to your destination. We cannot re-book you on another flight.
Can I change a name on my package?
No. It is very important that you type travelers' names carefully, we cannot change a reservation once it has been made with our suppliers.
What happens if I don't use a portion of my package?
We sell packages, which allows us to offer excellent value to our customers. We cannot unbundle our offerings. While you will not be penalized for any unused portion of your package, please be aware that if your travel package includes airline reservations, your return flight will be subject to cancellation if you do not take your departure flight. We cannot refund you for any unused portion of the package.
We are so confident that your credit card transaction will be secure that we back every online purchase made on our booking engine with our Shop Safe Guarantee.
Can one person (or more) in a group booking cancel or modify their vacation package?
Because all changes to a vacation package reservation must apply to all passengers on the record, modifications cannot be made for individual vacation package travelers.
Can changes be made to a vacation package booking once ticketed?
Changes can be made to a vacation package booking once ticketed provided that the airfare rules allow changes and/or the change is made prior to 12:01AM Central Time of the date of departure.
No changes can be made on or after the departure date.
Can I change ONLY the air portion of my vacation package, either the outbound or return flights?
Because a vacation package is a booking that includes both air + hotel, flight dates cannot be changed without also changing the hotel portion of the trip.
You are welcome to modify the entire trip, cancel the entire package and book a new package with new dates, or cancel the package and book either an air or hotel reservation separately.

Do I need to reconfirm my flight before departure?
For domestic travel it is not required the airline to reconfirm your flight. Some international (non-U.S.) airlines do require passengers to call and reconfirm flights. This must be done directly with the airline 24 - 72 hours prior to departure.
We are so confident that your credit card transaction will be secure that we back every online purchase made on our booking engine with our Shop Safe Guarantee.
What should I do if I forgot to enter my frequent flyer number when I made my booking?
If you did not include your number at the time of purchase you have several options to have the number entered into your record.
Prior to flying: Call the airline directly.
After completing your journey: Procedures vary by airlines. Most will require that you submit your original boarding pass by mail directly to them. Nearly all airlines do have a procedure that permits you to claim past date miles. Please call your airline directly to verify their procedure.
Can I use more than one credit card to purchase my reservation?
Only one credit card can be used to purchase a reservation.
If multiple travelers wish to book the exact same itinerary and pay with differing cards, individual reservations will have to be made.
How do I book a one-way or multiple-leg itinerary?
You can book one-way or multiple destinations (an itinerary that involves flying into one city and out of another or flying to multiple cities) on our site.
On our search forms, please select your desired type of travel.
How do I make an airline reservation for someone else?
You can make a reservation and purchase for others (using your credit card or theirs) even if you are not including yourself on the reservation.
Proceed with the booking process as if you were booking yourself (select flights, review/agree to policy/rules, etc.) until you reach the "Complete the passenger information" page.
Enter the correct passenger information. If there is more than one traveler, passenger information boxes for each will be found below the first name.
Be sure to review each field carefully before clicking "Information Is Correct."
Remember that passengers' names cannot be changed after this point.
Continue following the on-screen prompts.
On the credit card information page, enter credit card information (name and billing address) as it is registered with the card company. **Note: Billing information does not have to match passenger information. This will not change the passenger information already confirmed.
If the tickets are to be delivered to an address that is NOT the billing address, enter the information in section 2 (delivery information). **Again, changing the recipient's name in the "delivery information" section will not change the name of the passenger you have already confirmed.
Can I make airline reservations by phone?
At this time we do not offer airline reservations by phone. However, our agents are available to assist you with any questions you may have regarding your online booking. Contact us at 1-877-657-4874 (or 800-79645630 or 210-507-6512 if you are calling from outside the United States and Canada). Should you experience technical difficulty that prevents a booking from being made online, please call us for assistance.
Can I make seat assignments for my airline flights?
If your reservation is with an airline that provides pre-reserved seating, you can reserve your seat online at the time you are making your reservation.
The seating option page will be presented to you automatically during the booking process for both electronic and paper ticket reservations.
If no seat map appears, individual seat selection is not permitted online for that flight.
We will still pass on your seating request (as listed in your profile) to the airline. The airline will assign you seats as long as the requested flight(s) allows pre-assigned seating. If you've already booked your reservation, you will need to contact our customer care department at 1-877-657-4874 (or 800-79645630 or 210-507-6512 if you are calling from outside the United States and Canada) or the airline directly for assistance. Both will be able to assist you with your seat assignments.
How do I know my reservation is confirmed?
A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the address listed in your reservation immediately after you complete your reservation. This e-mail will include your itinerary details. If you do not receive your confirmation e-mail, please contact our customer care department by phone at 1-877-657-4874 (or 800-79645630 or 210-507-6512 if you are calling from outside the United States and Canada).
Can I make airline reservations for my pet?
Unfortunately, we cannot process air reservation requests for pets. Rules, fares, and procedures regarding the transportation of animals in the passenger and cargo section of the aircraft vary from airline to airline. We suggest that you contact the airline directly for assistance. In most cases there will be a charge for the animal.
We suggest reviewing the following guidelines:
Let the airline know well in advance that you are planning to travel with your pet, and reconfirm your plans 24-48 hours prior to departure. This is especially necessary during periods of adverse weather conditions. It also is advisable to arrive at the airport with plenty of time to spare so you will not be rushed.
Check with a veterinarian to make sure your pet is fit to travel. Airlines will not transport a sick or violent animal and most require a certificate of good health from a veterinarian that has been signed within 30 days of the travel.
It is preferable to book pets on direct, non-stop flights to minimize travel time, especially important during the hot summer months to avoid flights in the middle of the day. Try to schedule an evening flight or one early in the morning when daily temperatures are normally at their lowest. Keep in mind that some airlines do not allow pets to travel in the cargo hold during the summer months. Check with them directly.
If you are planning to take your animal in the cabin, check with your airline to ensure that this is allowed on your flight and that there is space available. Carry-on animals are limited to smaller breeds, usually less than 10 pounds, and kennels must fit under the seat. There may be additional charges for this service.
Be sure your pet wears a collar with complete identification and a license tag. Have a rabies vaccination certificate if the flight crosses state or international borders. Be aware of any quarantine regulations that are being enforced at your destination.
Once I accept a schedule change from the airline on an itinerary can I change my mind?
Once you have accepted a schedule change from the airline (either by speaking with a representative of the airline or with one of our agents), future changes, requested by you, will require payment of any applicable penalties and/or fees. If an airline has changed your flight schedule without your request, you will not be charged any fees or penalties for that change.
All airline tickets are subject to the rules and restrictions you agreed to at the time of purchase. Many tickets (most advance purchase-lower priced tickets, for example) are non-refundable and have no value for future purchase.
PLEASE NOTE: We have a new feature to help you determine the cost to cancel your airline ticket. For most flight-only reservations, you can use the cancellation calculator and see the refund or approximate credit you will receive if you decide to change or cancel your reservation.

You can cancel your airline reservation after 24 hours; however, your ticket may have no value or be subject to penalties for any changes to your itinerary. All airline tickets are subject to the rules and restrictions you agreed to at the time of purchase. Many tickets are non-refundable and some have no value for future purchase.
Change your ticket:
Most tickets carry penalties for changes. If you change your itinerary, a new ticket must be issued. Airlines charge a fee to exchange your original ticket for credit. The average reissue fee for a non-refundable or restricted domestic ticket is $100 and $200 for international tickets. If the new airfare is greater than the original airfare, you must pay the fare difference in addition to the reissue fee. We do not control the fees set by the airline and have no authority to waive them.
Some tickets do not allow any changes, even with a fee. Some types of changes are not allowed, even if the ticket allows changes. Here are some general restrictions:
You cannot change the name on an airline ticket or give the ticket to someone else to use.
You cannot exchange a ticket from one airline to another.
Some airlines will not allow the ticket to be reused if the original reservation was not cancelled within their designated timeframe.
To change your ticket, please choose from the following options:
Contact our customer care department for assistance at 1-877-657-4874 (or 800-79645630 or 210-507-6512 if you are calling from outside the United States and Canada). Be sure to have your Trip ID/reservation code available. Our support agents are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
2. Contact the airline. You can contact the airline directly to change your ticket. The airline will provide you with instructions on exchanging your original ticket when you confirm your new itinerary.
Do I need to reconfirm my flight before departure?
It is not necessary to reconfirm your flight for domestic travel. Some international airlines do require passengers to call and reconfirm their flights with the airline 24 - 72 hours prior to departure.
What are my options if I don't like the changes the airline made to my reservations?
If you have questions about the changes made to your itinerary, please contact our customer care department at 1-877-657-4874 (or 800-79645630 or 210-507-6512 if you are calling from outside the United States and Canada) and we will be happy to assist you and discuss your travel options.
Can I add additional passengers to an existing air booking?
It is not possible to add additional passengers to an existing air reservation either on-line or by phone. For additions to your air reservation please go on-line and create a new reservation for your additional passenger (do not cancel your existing reservation). Once completed you will be able to adjust seat assignments directly with the airline or with our customer care department.
How do I know my reservation is confirmed?
A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the address listed in your reservation immediately after you complete your reservation. This e-mail will include your itinerary details.
If you do not receive your confirmation e-mail, please contact our customer care department by phone at 1-877-657-4874 (or 800-79645630 or 210-507-6512 if you are calling from outside the United States and Canada).
When I select electronic ticketing, when is my credit card billed?
Your credit card is billed at the time we ticket your reservation just as when you purchase a paper ticket. In nearly all cases this charge will be immediate.
What credit cards do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Diner's Club, and American Express.
Can I use more than one credit card to purchase my reservation?
Only one credit card can be used to purchase a reservation. If multiple travelers wish to book the exact same itinerary and pay with differing cards, individual reservations will have to be made.
Can I pay for a reservation by cash or check?
All reservations booked on our site must be purchased with a credit card.
You will need to contact the airline, hotel or car company directly (or your local travel agent) to book a reservation using a form of payment other than a credit card.
We accept most major credit cards for travel reservations.
Can I use a debit card to purchase reservations?
Yes, we do accept debit cards. Please be advised that funds are immediately withdrawn from your account at the time of purchase.
On the "Complete your credit card information" page, be sure to mark the box that says, "This is a debit card" located just beneath the "Expiration Date" field.
Some debit cards cannot be verified. This may delay the issuance of your tickets and may affect the fare. If you wish to use a debit card, please have a credit card available as a backup in case we're unable to verify your debit card.
What fee is charged for changing my airline ticket?
Typically, the total fee to change a reservation for a restricted ticket is $130 for domestic and $230 for international itineraries per ticket. Non-restricted coach, business, and 1st class fares normally carry a nominal reissue fee of $30. However, some of these fares now also carry change fees.
These fees are in addition to any fare increases that may also be charged by the airline. Please note that travel agencies do not control the fees set by the airline and do not have the authority to waive these fees.
If you have purchased a Flex or Exclusive Fare your ticket cannot be changed or cancelled.
Other items to note regarding reservation changes and change fees:
Airlines fees vary from carrier to carrier.
No travel agency has the authority to waive airline-imposed charges.
At the time of purchase the individual making the reservation checked a box that stated that they had read and understood the rules and fees that applied to the reservation.
Tickets are non-transferable. Once issued, you cannot change the name on an airline ticket or give the ticket to someone else to use. Also, you cannot exchange a ticket from one airline to another.
How to Request A Change To Your Reservation?
All changes must be made with an agent by phone. Please call our customer care department at 1-877-657-4874 (or 800-79645630 or 210-507-6512 if you are calling from outside the United States and Canada).
Do you charge service fees?
A non-refundable fee is charged for each air transaction. To the extent any air transaction service fee applies, it will be included in the airfare and itemized prior to purchase. The current maximum number of tickets per transaction is six. Purchasing more than six tickets begins a new transaction with its own air transaction service fees. This air transaction service fee applies to both e-tickets and paper tickets.
Do you offer Infant, Child, Unaccompanied Minor, Companion and Senior air fares?
Both Child and Senior fares are offered automatically on our site. Please review the information below. At this time we do not offer infant, unaccompanied minor, or companion discount bookings on-line. Adding these options as a product enhancement is in our future plans.
Be sure to input the number of children and/or senior travelers on the search form.
Senior Fares: Our booking system will automatically quote senior discounts as long as you indicate how many travelers are 62 years or older (62+) on the "Search for Flights and Fares" page.
Child Fares: Please note that most carriers do not offer discounted domestic fares for children over the age of two years. International fares vary for children but generally are offered if the child is over 2yrs and under 12yrs.
Infants - If you are traveling domestically with an infant (under 2yrs) on your lap, the child flies for no charge and you do not need a ticket. However, you will need to contact the airline or us with this information after making your booking and prior to arriving at the airport.
If you are traveling domestically and wish to purchase a seat for your infant, or are traveling internationally, it will be necessary to call the airline or us to have the addition made to your reservation.
Unacommpanied Minors - Each airline carries its own restrictions for unaccompanied minor travel. You should always check directly with the carrier to learn its specific rules and regulations. In general, airlines have age restrictions (children under 5yrs cannot fly alone, children up to 18 can be considered unaccompanied minors), charge a fee of $25-$75 per flight (paid at the time of check-in), and only permit the use of nonstop or direct flights (those which stop but do not require a change of planes).
Can my child fly alone?
A child who is traveling without the accompaniment of an adult over the age of 18 years is considered by the airlines as an unaccompanied minor.
Each airline carries its own restrictions for unaccompanied minor travel. You should always check directly with the carrier to learn their specific rules and regulations.
In general, airlines have age restrictions (children under 5yrs cannot fly alone, children up to 18 can be considered unaccompanied minors (depending on the carrier the age can vary from 14-18yrs.), charge a fee of $25-$75 per flight segment (paid at the time of check-in), and only permit the use of non-stop or direct flights (those which stop but do not require a change of planes).
Unaccompanied minor reservations cannot be booked on our site.
Unaccompanied minor bookings must be made directly with the airline on which the child will fly.
Do you offer bereavement fares?
No, bereavement fares are special rates offered for sale directly by the airlines due to the death of an immediate family member.
Unfortunately, the airlines do not allow travel agencies access to bereavement fares at this time and we cannot assist you with the booking of these fares.

How can I check the status of my tickets?
If you have ordered an electronic ticket:
No documents (ticket or receipt) will be delivered to your address.
You may verify that your electronic ticket has been processed by accessing your itinerary online.
Please locate the trip reservation retrieval link located in your confirmation email or on the website. You will be prompted to provide your email address and Trip ID number in order to retrieve your reservation.
If your reservation has been processed, you should see a "View/Print Receipt" link or button on your itinerary page.
If you do not see a "View/Print Receipt" link or button, check back in a few hours. Tickets are issued on a priority basis and can take several hours to be printed. Once the "View/Print Receipt" link or button appears, your online itinerary becomes your passenger receipt.
If your ticketing information still does not appear after several hours, you may contact our customer care department at 1-877-657-4874 (or 800-79645630 or 210-507-6512 if you are calling from outside the United States and Canada) to verify your reservation. Please have your Trip ID number available.
If you are expecting your paper ticket by FedEx or Express Mail:
Once tickets are issued, delivery information can be viewed by accessing your itinerary online.
Please locate the trip reservation retrieval link located in your confirmation email or on the website. You will be prompted to provide your email address and Trip ID number in order to retrieve your reservation.
If no information appears check back in a few hours. Tickets are issued on a priority basis and can take several hours to be printed.
What is electronic ticketing?
Rather than printing a paper ticket, a computer record advising the airline your ticket has been purchased is created and instantly delivered to the airline(s) with all payment information included.
This ticket record is stored in the airline's computer system.
At the time of booking, you will receive a confirmation of your purchase as well as a follow-up confirmation e-mail detailing your booking.
When you check-in for your flight, you only need to present a printed copy of your reservation (obtainable from our site) or your e-mail confirmation and photo ID to airline personnel. They will access your ticket record on-line and issue your boarding pass.
Electronic ticketing makes the overall travel experience less stressful for you. There is no need to worry about forgetting, losing or not receiving your paper ticket. Most airlines charge a $100 lost ticket fee. All itinerary changes can be made over the phone without the need of returning your original ticket for reissue. In addition, major U.S. carriers are now charging a paper ticket fee of up to $25 per ticket.
Will I receive travel documents when I select electronic ticketing?
No documents will be sent to you. Once your electronic ticket has been processed, you can verify it by accessing your itinerary online.
How do I travel with an electronic ticket?
Electronic tickets allow the airline you are flying to store your ticket on their computer systems. The customer has no need to worry about carrying or possibly losing their tickets. No paper document is issued until you check-in with the airline.
While it is a good idea to bring a copy of your e-ticket receipt with you on your day of travel, it is not required to have a receipt to check-in. You will need your proper identification (government issued photo ID - driver's license, state identification card, or passport) for all travelers.
The Transportation Security Administration has enacted a policy at most airports that requires all passengers, including e-ticket holders, to obtain a boarding pass (obtained at the airline check-in counter or airline kiosk if available) before entering any security checkpoint that leads to a flight gate.
Do my unused or partially used non-refundable airline tickets have any value?
Beginning the week of Aug 26th, 2002, most airlines have applied new rules for determining the value of unused non-refundable tickets.
For most carriers, the face value of a completely unused non-refundable ticket can be applied towards the purchase of a new ticket on the same airline for up to one year as long as the change is made on or before the departure time of the first ticketed flight.
Unused partial non-refundable tickets have no value for future purchases or exchange once the flight dates have past.
To help you determine the cost to cancel your airline ticket, you can use our new cancellation calculator. The calculator will display the amount of refund you would receive if you cancel the trip or the amount of credit you can use towards future travel if your ticket was issued on a non-refundable fare.
Display the trip you want to review by entering the Trip ID and email address, used when your reservation was made, on the Trip Lookup page.
