After the tickets are issued minor name corrections may incur penalties or additional costs. Tickets are non-transferable and name changes are not allowed.

Travel details: It is passenger’s/payee’s responsibility to ensure that travel dates, flight, origin and destination details are correct before issuance of tickets.

Changes: After the ticket is issued, any changes, if allowed, may attract additional costs. Changes are subject to availability and increased fares and taxes. Re issue fee of $150 may apply per ticket plus any fare difference, tax difference and other additional penalties by the airline. Please notify us about changes in your travel plans at least 48 hours prior and on working days. Until the tickets are re-issued, date change quotes can change anytime due to the fluctuation of fares and seats availability.

In cases of bank transfers, tickets may not be issued until full payment has been received into Friends Travel account. Payments by credit cards may incur merchant fee. It is customer’s responsibility to inform and verify with us after making the payment via bank deposit or bank transfer.

Visas/Special Permits: It is your responsibility to ensure that you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits which meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility.

Passport: Most countries will not allow entry if the traveler’s passport will expire sooner than 6 months after the latest expected end date of your planned trip and some countries ask for a longer validity. Please make certain that your passport is valid for travelling accordingly. Nothing we say should be interpreted as legal advice concerning visas, entry requirements, immigration, or residency. We do not hold any responsibility in case a customer is unable to meet immigration requirements due to any incomplete documents. It is passenger’s responsibility to fulfil all the requirements of the country they are visiting. Please note, passengers having single name on the passport can not travel to UAE. They can only have a short transit via UAE.

Cancellations: Cancellation fee applies after the funds have been transferred. Some tickets are completely non-refundable. A cancellation charge, up to 100%, may be applied depending on the conditions of the airfare, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Cancellation of any component of your travel may incur fee of $200 per passenger plus any cancellation fee imposed by the Airline. Infant tickets are non-refundable. Cancellation quotes are only valid for the same day. Please notify us about cancellation in your travel plans at least 48 hours prior and on working days.

Refunds: Generally refunds are processed within 14 – 16 weeks when a ticket cancellation is entitled for a refund and it could take longer in some cases. We are unable to provide a refund to you until we receive the funds from the relevant supplier.

Reconfirmation: Carriers reserve the right to cancel flights prior to ticketing and change the flight schedule at any time prior to departure. After the ticket has been issued, it is highly recommended to reconfirm the flight schedule with the airline 72 hours prior to departure as we do not hold any responsibility to reconfirm the flights schedules with you.

Tickets: It is passenger’s responsibility to ensure that their e-tickets have been received prior to departure. After your tickets are issued, call us the same day if you have any concerns.

IMPORTANT! If you arrive at an airline ticket or passenger check-in counter with your confirmed ticket and find that the airline shows no reservation for you – do not leave the counter. Check your ticket. If the status box shows “confirmed” for the flight in question, the airline must accommodate you on that flight, or if that is not possible, they must find you a substitute flight. If necessary ask to speak to airport supervisor.

Check-in: Minimum check-in time for domestic flights is 2 hours and for international flight, 3 hours.

Health: It is your responsibility to ensure that you are aware of any health requirements for your travel destinations and to ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation.

We may not be able to serve you outside office hours, weekends, public holidays or under any special circumstances.

Certain taxes are mandatory in various countries. There may also be an additional local tax charged at some airports. All taxes are subject to change without notice.
