One Secret Every Traveler Should Know About His Ticket.

Experience or inexperience there is one secret the travel consultant will never let you know before you purchase a ticket. One must be very careful when buying a flight ticket as it is always amazing when you have a stress free travel experience. Travelling could be frustrating if you are not provided with the right information about a ticket. Let’s take for an instance you are overseas and have been informed your appointment has been moved to a further date! You are out of cash and need to change your travel date. You call your agent to assist you with the changes and he tells you; sorry Sir, the ticket is not changeable. What do you do next???



This brings us to the reason you should always demand to know the rules on your ticket before going ahead to make a purchase from the airline or agent. Ticket rules are as important as the ticket and it gives you a sense of direction on how to plan your trip.

Flight tickets could either be changeable, non-changeable or non- refundable. It is so annoying to know you cannot get a refund on your ticket when travel has already commenced. Travelers should also seek to know the validity of their flight tickets, i.e that is how long the ticket is valid for.

What to do to avoid a no- Show;

For passengers who would not be traveling as booked, kindly request to be canceled or taken off that flight to avoid a no-show fee.  And if it were to be airlines with strict rules, you may have to make the changes before your travel date to avoid forfeiting the ticket and seek a refund in case of a refundable ticket.

What is the meaning of No-Show?

A no-show means when a person who has made a reservation, booking but neither keeps nor cancels it.


Hope the next time you are traveling you will ask to know your rules. Please drop your comments.
