In the majority of cases, airlines require you to buy replacement tickets at the current fare. If your original tickets are not used after a specific period (generally 6 to 12 months depending on the airline), you will receive a credit for the purchase price of the replacement tickets minus the application fee. This fee is typically $100.00 per traveler but may vary by airline. Please note that these policies and fees are subject to change at any time. If your paper tickets are lost or stolen, you can file a lost ticket application by getting in touch with our Customer Support team.
Faremart makes every attempt to inform you of flight changes via email or phone, but we are not always aware of these changes made by the airline. Hence, we suggest you reconfirm your itinerary directly with the airline at least 72 hours before the departure. Kindly note, once you have accepted a schedule change from the airline (either by speaking with one of our agents or with a representative of the airline), you will be required to pay any applicable penalties and fees for the requested future changes. However, you will not be charged any fees or penalties if an airline has changed your flight schedule without your request.
Please note that most of the discounted airline tickets are non-refundable. Although they are economical, they are restrictive too. Hence you will not get a refund if you cancel your flight. Refund restrictions are mentioned on our website. We strongly recommend you to read and agree to our Terms and Conditions before booking any reservation. Once you cancel a booking, you are subject to the terms of the cancellation, as documented in our "Terms and Conditions."
If you find that the date of your itinerary is wrong, you must immediately contact our Customer Support team.
If the email confirmation indicates a pending status, it means that the airline has not confirmed the booking yet. Once your credit card has been charged with the amount and tickets are issued, you will receive an e-mail with the confirmed itinerary.
A paper ticket is usually sent in 2 to 3 business days after the reservation has been made successfully. You will receive the courier's tracking number as a confirmation. In case you have not received your paper tickets and your departure is nearing, please contact our Customer Support team.
During reservation, you will be informed whether you will receive an e-ticket or a paper ticket. In case the type of your ticket changes due to some technical issues, Faremart will notify you within 24 hours of your booking. However, when booking multiple airlines that don’t have any ticketing agreements, we must issue a paper ticket. In such a scenario, we will notify you through an email.
To reconfirm your reservation, please contact the airline at least 72 hours before your scheduled flight departure. Also, you must reconfirm your Return flights, within the same time frame.
Partially used tickets are of no value. In some cases, unused tickets may be exchanged for a new ticket (subjected to the policies of the airline). But, if you don’t show up for the flight, your unused ticket will not hold any value.
To add more passengers, the only way is to make a new reservation. Since fares are subject to change every moment; Faremart does not guarantee the availability of the original fare or flight.
Most airlines now offer e-tickets or electronic tickets which allows you to travel without worrying about the loss or theft of your paper tickets. But, when traveling with e-tickets, ensure to carry government-issued photo identification (such as a passport or driver's license) with you to the airport.

If you are changing flights and your airline has a baggage agreement, your baggage will be checked all the way through to your final destination. In case, there is no baggage agreement, it will be your responsibility to go to Baggage Claim at the very first airport from where you are changing your flight to claim your bags. From there, you must check-in your baggage again for the next flight.
Please look for baggage alert in your itinerary. If you have one, it means the airlines do not have baggage agreement. Please call the airline you are flying, and confirm whether your baggage will be checked to your final destination or if you will have to claim your luggage when you change planes.
If you miss your departure flight, the airline has the right to mark your ticket as a "No Show" reservation. It means your ticket has no value and cannot be changed or refunded, even with a penalty. If you are on your way to the airport and feel you might miss your flight, you must call the airline immediately to avoid the situation of "No Show."
If you've boarded your departure flight, but have missed the subsequent flight, you should go to the nearest ticket counter of your airline as soon as possible. In case you've missed your flight you were supposed to change to due to a problem that is within the airline's control, they should provide you with a reservation in the very next available flight. If the reason for missing a flight is not within the airline's control (weather, air traffic, etc.) or due to your fault, it will be left entirely up to the airline's discretion to protect you or not. If the airline decides that protection is not acceptable, it will be up to the passengers to find their way to their final destination at their own expense.
Important: If you miss any of your flights, all consequent flights in the same itinerary will also be canceled under the "No Show" policy.
If you are not able to travel, you must call the airline or us immediately. If you decide to "just not show up" your reservation will be marked as a "No Show" and all penalties and restriction mentioned in the previously answered question will apply to you.
