If a supplier defaults before providing the service to you where a payment has been made, your sole recourse for a refund shall be the defaulting supplier, from insurance covering such defaults if any, or from another responsible third party unless such loss was caused solely by CheapOair. In those situations in which a supplier defaults before providing services, you may pursue any recourse against the supplier for a refund, as permitted by law or statute.

Except as expressly stated herein, Airflight bookings assumes no responsibility for actions relating to travel services beyond the control of Airflight bookings or its employees. Airflight bookingsis not responsible or liable for any act, error, omission, injury, loss, accident, damage, delay, nonperformance, irregularity, or any consequence thereof, which may be occasioned through neglect, default or any other act or inaction of any Travel Supplier.

You hereby agree to be bound by all the Terms & Conditions of purchase imposed by any Travel Supplier with whom you choose to contract, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the Travel Supplier's rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of fares, products, or services. Some Travel Suppliers may require you to present a credit card or cash deposit upon check-in to cover additional expenses incurred during your stay or the use of the reserved products or services. Such deposit is unrelated to any payment received by Airflight bookings for your hotel, car or airline ticket booking. You understand that any violation of a Travel Supplier's rules and restrictions may result in the cancellation of your reservation(s), in denial of access to the respective Service Element or services, in your forfeiting any amount paid for such reservation(s), and/or in our debiting your account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation.

PRICE DROP ASSURANCE TERMS & CONDITIONS

Price Drop Assurance is an opt-in service in which you authorize us to look for additional savings on airline ticket(s) that you booked with us, which we then share with you in the form of an Airflight bookings gift card.

When you purchase the Price Drop Assurance service, we will search your exact itinerary (travel dates, airports, passengers, airlines & flights) for 24 hours after you book your ticket(s) to look for opportunities to realize additional savings on those tickets (s). If we identify an opportunity to realize additional savings, you authorize us to rebook your ticket(s) for the same itinerary that you already purchased. We will then share those savings with you in the form of a gift card good toward any future flight booking on CheapOair.com. We will also retain a portion of the savings as a rebooking fee for providing this service.

The Price Drop Assurance service is not a guarantee of savings. If we are unable to find meaningful additional savings on your exact itinerary (typically $30 or more), your original tickets will remain in place and we will be unable to offer you any additional value. Price Drop Assurance is not available for all itineraries or all airlines, but will only be offered when available.

Please be aware that If we reissue your tickets to realize additional savings as described above, you will receive a new confirmation email with a new ticket number(s) for the new tickets that we have issued to you. We strongly recommend that if you sign up for the Price Drop Assurance service, you do not purchase any ancillary services, such as seats or prepaid bags, directly from the airline until after the 24-hour search period has ended. IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED ANY ANCILLARY SERVICES, SUCH AS SEATS OR PREPAID BAGS, DIRECTLY FROM THE AIRLINE IN THE INTERIM, YOU WILL NEED TO CALL THE AIRLINE AND REQUEST THAT THEY ASSOCIATE THOSE ITEMS WITH YOUR NEW TICKET NUMBER(S), RATHER THAN YOUR ORIGINAL ONE(S). Airline rules may restrict the transferability of ancillary services to new tickets or specify that such items are non-refundable; therefore, Airflight bookings cannot guarantee that these requests will be honoured. Note that if you use a debit card for this service, depending upon your issuing bank it may take up to five to seven business days for you to regain access to the funds held for purchase of your original ticket.

NOTE THAT THE ORIGINAL FARE MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A FULL REFUND IF REQUESTED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF BOOKING.   OTHER FARES MAY BE REFUNDABLE UNDER THE ORIGINAL FARE RULES.  BY SIGNING UP FOR PRICE DROP ASSURANCE, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ONCE WE HAVE COMMENCED THE REBOOKING PROCESS, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A REFUND (IF ELIGIBLE) ON THE ORIGINAL TICKET AND ELECT TO APPLY ANY REFUND TO THE PURCHASE OF THE REBOOKED TICKET AND CHEAPOAIR’S REBOOKING FEE.  THE REBOOKED TICKET(S) WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND TO THE SAME EXTENT AS THE ORIGINAL TICKET(S) AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE AIRLINE’S RULES AND RESTRICTIONS, AS WELL AS CHEAPOAIR’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

BOOKING PROCESS

For your convenience, our use of the following terms in these Terms & Conditions shall have the meaning below:

"Service Element" - a singular product or service listed on the Site that can be booked independently of any other service. (e.g.: car, hotel, flight).

"Travel Supplier" - a vendor of one or more Service Elements. (e.g.: hotels, car suppliers, airlines). Airflight bookings does not act as principal but makes arrangements with third-party vendor Travel Suppliers for Service Elements, all as defined above.

"Booking" - a negotiation process with the Travel Supplier carried out by you while using this Site to obtain one or more Service Elements that may result in a contract with the Travel Supplier at the time we receive full payment and accept your offer.

To complete a Booking the following steps are taken to ensure its validity:
When we place Service Elements on our Site, we are inviting you to make an offer for their purchase. You do not make this offer until you press "Book" on the payment page (entitled "Review Trip Details and Book") of the Site.

Once you have done so you have made Airflight bookingsan offer (which cannot be withdrawn if you change your mind) to purchase the relevant Service Element(s) from the relevant Travel Supplier(s) (your "Booking"). We are free to accept your offer on behalf of the relevant Travel Supplier or to reject it, at our sole discretion.

The Airflight bookings email confirmation is NOT the contractual acceptance of the Booking, but merely an acknowledgement that we have received your offer. We will need to check the availability of the relevant Service Element(s).

If the relevant Service Element is available, your Booking will be processed. The contract about the relevant Booking is formed when payment in full has been received.

The contract between you and the relevant Travel Supplier will relate only to those Service Elements confirmed by email with ticket numbers in case of air or reservation numbers in case of hotels, cars or activities.

The terms of your Booking (such as price, availability and/or dates of travel) are not guaranteed until the contract is formed between you and the Travel Supplier a ticket has been issued and/or a reservation has been made and confirmed by the Travel Supplier. Please note that once you have completed the Booking stage you can only cancel or change the details (such as names or destinations) of your Booking at our sole discretion and by these Terms & Conditions.

These Booking processes will apply to any of our individual Service Element's Terms & Conditions set out below. The airline ticket Terms & Conditions, the hotel Terms & Conditions, the car rental Terms & Conditions, and the attractions and services Terms & Conditions supplement any area not covered by the Booking process. We reserve the right to change the Booking process at any time, with changes automatically taking effect from the date such changes are posted on the Site.

At all times throughout your trip a government-issued photo ID is required for security checks at airports, hotels and car rental locations and may be required for attractions and other products as deemed necessary by the relevant Travel Suppliers.

In addition to the required government-issued ID, as stated above, proof of citizenship (Passport) is required for international travel (for most countries outside of the United States). Please note that it is your sole responsibility to ensure that you meet the passport, visa, and/or health requirements of the countries you wish to visit and those that you transit (even if it is for a simple flight change). Many countries require that your passport be valid for a minimum period from the date of arrival in that country. For any questions regarding what the applicable minimum period is and any other conditions or passport/visa requirements for travel, you should contact the corresponding local consulate of the countries to which you are travelling.

Neither Airflight bookings nor its affiliates accept any responsibility, and you will not be entitled to any refunds whatsoever if you are denied boarding, delayed or deported due to non-fulfilment of the above.

Government entry/exit fees may apply, depending on your destination.

These are your sole responsibility and will be additional to your Booking charges.

All travellers on your Booking (if more than one passenger) must travel on the same itinerary. Individual passengers cannot be added to, and/or deleted from your Booking.

Airflight bookingsreserves the right to correct errors in any advertised price and, if applicable, give you the option to either cancel the Booking or allow Airflight bookingsto collect an amount equal to any increase in price from your provided credit or debit card, before your departure.

Each Service Element listed in your Booking is provided by the respective Travel Supplier.

Frequent traveller points and/or miles may or may not be available for any portion of your Booking. You must check this with the relevant Travel Supplier.

Once you have made your Booking, you cannot transfer or change the name(s) or destination(s) listed in your Booking.

Your Booking will be fulfilled on the delivery date set out in your ticket information email or, if no delivery date is specified, then on the date the ticket is issued, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

The terms of this agreement incorporate by reference the terms of each airline's contract of carriage. Passengers may inspect the full text of the contract of carriage at each airline's airport or city ticket offices. Passengers have the right, upon request to the airlines, to receive free of charge by mail or other delivery service the full text of the contract of carriage. The incorporated terms of the contract of carriage may include (1) Limits on the airline's liability for personal injury or death of passengers, and for loss, damage, or delay of goods and baggage, including fragile or perishable goods; (2) Claim restrictions, including periods within which passengers must file a claim or bring an action against the airline for its acts or omissions or those of its agents; (3) Rights of the airline to change terms of the contract; (4) Rules about reconfirmation of reservations, check-in times, and refusal to carry; (5) Rights of the airline and limitations concerning delay or failure to perform service, including schedule changes, the substitution of alternate airline or aircraft, and rerouting.
