We have negotiated many
different types of agreements with different airlines; thus, the rules and restrictions for
exchanges and cancellations vary greatly if allowed at all. When allowed, airlines require that
we collect a fee for the exchange plus any difference in fare when necessary. Exchange fees
start at $125 USD and go as high as $350 USD. Your exchange agent can tell you when you call.
We must insist, however, that you do not book an itinerary for the exchange. Please
keep in mind that all exchanges must be on itineraries provided by the same airline that issued
the original ticket. In some cases, the airline may restrict or deny exchanges requested with as
few as seven days before departure.
Once you are prepared to give our exchange agent
the new itinerary, please call us at (646)-738-4832. To
expedite this process, please have your old ticket and/or file number with you as well as the
new itinerary you wish to book.
E-tickets, are offered by
many major airlines, and allow you to travel without a paper ticket, eliminating the worry of
leaving your tickets behind. OneTravel.com offers e-tickets when they are available.
Bring government issued photo identification (such as a driver’s license or
passport) to the airport. E-ticketed passengers must have a printed boarding pass in order to
proceed directly through security for check in at the gate. Customers with check-in baggage or
E-tickets who do not have printed boarding passes must go to the ticket counter prior to going
through security checkpoints.
Airlines practice
the marketing concept known as "yield management,"where they sell as many seats as they can at
the highest price they can get. It is impossible to pinpoint the cost of any single seat on any
given flight. For example, some seats will be assigned special fares for corporate clients,
while other seats will have been sold through a consolidator at a discount. Similarly, some
fares may have been bought at a discount with frequent-flier award points or from a last minute
Web special. At our site, you will always be quoted the lowest fare available to us at that
time.
Most airline tickets
issued are non-refundable, and non-transferable. Name changes are not permitted. However, you
may be able to exchange your tickets for different dates. Penalty fees apply and not all tickets
are changeable. Please call our exchange department for details. (646)-738-4832
As airlines fill flights
or change fares, our database immediately reflects those changes. Since the fares change
frequently we are unable to quote fares via email.

The ‘return period’ is an amount of time referral traffic from an affiliate partner is ‘tagged’ for that specific affiliate partner. The ‘return period’ for the OneTravel.com Affiliate Partner Program is 90 days.
When a reservation is
cancelled the same day it was booked, funds for the Airline portion are not collected. Any
pending charges you may have seen would have been a "pending hold" for verification. These funds
will return to your available credit and will not reflect as a refund. This process normally
takes from 3 - 7 business days, depending on your banking institutions
procedures.
Please note: Some Prepaid credit card companies will hold pending
authorizations for up to 30 days.
If the airline rules allow for cancellation the day
after booking, funds for the Airline portion will be refunded within 7 - 14 business days. It
will depend upon the Airline(s) and your banking institutions policies. At times the refund will
post before the charge is processed or may not appear on your current statement. Please contact
your bank to verify the refund was received.
Any refunds requested after 48-hours of
purchase are based solely upon the Airline(s) rules. If approved, the refund will generally take
1-2 billing statement cycles. In some exceptional cases refunds may take longer than originally
anticipated. An email update will be sent to you advising of any delay.
These refunds are
typically for seat assignment requests that could not be fulfilled by the Airline or during a
quality check if we detected an overcharge. This refund does not affect your airline ticket
purchase.
This occurs when
multiple Airlines or passengers are booked in a reservation. You will see a charge for each
ticket processed separately. Any service fees, taxes or additional services may also show as
separate charges with the description of Airline/Taxes and Fees. When added together these
amounts should total the amount you were quoted.
Verify with your
bank what company the charges are coming from that have posted. Most tickets issued through
OneTravel will have the description of NV or Las Vegas on your statement. If you are certain
there are posted duplicate charges from OneTravel, please contact the Billing Department for
Assistance at (646) 738-4943.
Confirm with your bank
whether the charges in question have posted or are pending to your account. At the time of
reservation a "pending charge" is placed on your account for the full amount. The bank/credit
card company then puts a "hold" on that dollar amount, until the transaction either posts or is
cleared. With a successful transaction, the charge will typically post to the account within 2 -
3 business days, at that time the money will be deducted from your account, and the "hold" will
be released. At times the "pending hold" can show on your account after the charge has posted.
Please allow time for the "pending hold" to return to your available credit. This is dependent
on your banking institutions policies.
Please note: Your initial quote may not
include seat charges, insurance or any additional services requested. These services are charged
at the time they are selected and will increase the total cost of your trip. Posted charges may
appear in multiple transactions which should total to the amount you were quoted.

All on-line bookings of
car rental services will generate a confirmation number assigned by the car rental firm. Please
take a copy of your booking confirmation email with you for check in. OneTravel.com does not
issue any vouchers to confirm car rental reservations.
In the United States,
most car rental companies have a minimum age of 25 or above. There are exceptions, but the
renter must pay a surcharge. In Europe, foreign driver restrictions vary from country to
country. Drivers need to be a minimum of 18 in most countries and have a valid US drivers
license. Please check the official website of the rental company. These sites generally have age
restrictions posted there, as well as information regarding seat belt laws, child seat
requirements, and speed limits.
Generally a credit card
is required to secure a car. Many car rental companies will not accept a Debit card, cash for
payment or 3rd party credit cards as payment. Check with the individual car company for their
policies. All rates are quoted and guaranteed in US Dollars.
Print or email the online
confirmation from OneTravel.com. This confirmation number from the car rental company is all
that is needed, other than a valid driver's license and a major credit card. We do not recommend
using debit-cards to pay for car rentals. Some car rental companies may also require a good
driving record as a pre-requisite to rent a car and proof of insurance. They may check this at
the time of rental, when the actual rental agreement is completed.
It isn't required,
but it can't hurt. It costs approximately $20 USD to purchase an International Driver's Permit
(IDP), which is simply a translation of a valid U.S. driver's license. This document can prevent
a lot of problems for clients driving abroad, especially if they are driving in a country where
they don't speak the language, or in a non-tourist area. Per the U.S. State Department only two
companies are allowed to issue IDPs.
If You rent a car
while on the Covered Trip, and the car is damaged due to collision, theft, vandalism, windstorm,
fire, hail, flood or any cause not within Your control while in Your possession, the Company
will pay the lesser of:
• the cost of repairs and rental charges imposed by the rental company while the car is being
repaired; or
• the Actual Cash Value of the car, meaning purchase price less depreciation; or
• the amount shown on the Confirmation of Coverage. Other restrictions may apply.
Coverage is provided to You, provided You and Your Traveling Companions are licensed drivers,
and are listed on the rental agreement. Coverage is not available to residents of Texas and
Oregon. This benefit does not apply to cars rented in Jamaica, Republic of Ireland, Northern
Ireland and Israel. OneTravel recommends taking a copy of the policy coverage along with you to
the rental car company.

An Australian ETA is equivalent
to a visa, but there is no stamp or label in your passport, and there is no need for you to
visit an Australian diplomatic office to submit an application. U.S. and Canadian citizens and
about 25 other nationalities can take advantage of Australia's new use of technology for
immigration clearances. Click here to start processing an Australian ETA.
Passport processing
can be expedited based on the requirements. Once all documents are received, “Rush”
services apply when 3 - 10 business days are available for the processing, whereas
“Emergency” services apply when 1-2 business days, or less, are available. Click here to start
processing your passport.
The cost of
services usually comprises of government/document issuing fees, delivery charges, rush
surcharges (if any), our service fees and foreign national surcharges.
-
Government/document issuing fees refer to foreign consular fees or U.S. Passport Agency fees
- Foreign national surcharges are added for all travelers who are non-U.S. citizens. A
research fee for providing forms and requirements will be charged for all travelers residing
outside the U.S.
Yes. For most countries, a passport needs to be submitted so the visa may be stamped on one of the blank visa pages.
Secure Flight is a
program of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that streamlines the security
watch list matching process. By collecting passenger data, it will improve the travel experience
for all airline passengers.
When passengers
travel, they will be required to provide the following Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) when
making a reservation:
Full Name as it appears on government-issued I.D that you will be
traveling with.
• Date of Birth
• Gender
• Redress Number (if
available)
A-The goals of the
program are to:
• Identify known and suspected terrorists
• Prevent individuals on the
No Fly List from boarding an aircraft
• Subject individuals on the Selectee List to
enhanced screening to determine if they are permitted to board an aircraft
• Facilitate
passenger air travel
• Protect individuals' privacy
It is to the passenger's
advantage to provide the required data elements as doing so may prevent delays or inconveniences
at the airport which may differentiate you from individuals on the government watch
list.
This is a unique
number the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assigns to a passenger who have been previously
identified for screening at the airports. For more information on the redress process, visit www.dhs.gov/trip.
The name you provide
when booking your travel is used to perform the watch list matching before a boarding pass is
ever issued. You should ensure that the name provided when booking your travel matches the
government ID that you will use when traveling.
Due to difference in boarding pass
systems, boarding passes may not always display the exact name you provided when booking your
travel. Differences such as the use of a middle initial instead of a full middle name or no
middle name/initial at all, hyphens or apostrophes) should not cause a problem for the
passenger.
Yes. You can add
a guest to the same hotel room by calling our customer service desk at (646)-738-4832. Please note there may be a charge for additional guests.

you need to book an additional room for the guest you may do so online as a new
reservation.

charged by OneTravel com. You may also be subject to penalties and fees from the hotel.
OneTravel.com advises you to verify all hotel rules on your pre-paid reservation.
If you have reserved
an Exclusive (pre-paid) hotel reservation, your credit card will be charged at the time of
booking and includes most taxes and fees. Any additional costs such as meals, laundry, telephone
and parking and resort fee’s are not included in your reservation rate.
For
non Exclusive rates payment is made at the time of check-out. Some hotels require a one night
deposit charged at the time of booking. Local and state taxes, fees and any additional costs
incurred by you are not included in the quoted rate unless stated.

Consolidators are
wholesalers of airline tickets to retail travel agencies. These tickets are generally available
through retail travel agencies only.
We bring consolidator airfares directly to the
consumer. Consolidators have an agreement with airlines to purchase certain seats in advance in
big volumes, thereby bringing savings to the traveler.
Most Consolidator tickets
offer frequent flyer miles. Restrictions are similar to an advance purchase ticket.
Consolidator Fares are generally 20-50% discounted than published fares, they may have similar
or more restrictions. Cancellations and changes are usually more restrictive, so if you are set
on your dates do not worry about the conditions. You may want to purchase Travel
Insurance.
