Self-Transfer Guarantee Terms and Conditions

  • We’re here to help, and the following guarantee (the “Trip.com Self-Transfer Guarantee”) describes our ("Trip.com", "us", "we" or "our" as the context requires) commitment to ensuring you get to your destination as quickly as possible.
  • The Trip.com Self-Transfer Guarantee is generally applicable to itineraries bought from Trip.com that consist of two or more “legs” and which require you to connect from a flight operated by one carrier to a flight operated by a different carrier (a “Self-Transfer Itinerary”). For example, a Trip.com Self-Transfer Itinerary might originate in city A, with a 3-hour layover in city B, and then require a flight onward with a different carrier to city C.
  • Where the Trip.com Self-Transfer Guarantee is applicable, this will be clearly notified to you at the point of purchase and stated on your booking details page. You may also be given the option to upgrade the Trip.com Self-Transfer Guarantee by purchasing additional self-transfer services for USD10 (“ Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee ”). The additional services included in the Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee will be highlighted at the time of purchase and are also set out in these Terms and Conditions.
  • By using the Trip.com Self-Transfer Guarantee or the Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee (each a “ Guarantee ” and together the “ Guarantees ”), you are deemed to have accepted and agreed to comply with these Terms and Conditions. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully (in particular the sections highlighted in bold ).
  • The Guarantees do not apply in circumstances where you miss a transfer for reasons other than one of the flights within a Self-Transfer Itinerary being affected by a delay, a cancellation, or a reschedule event. See section 5 below for more information.
  • We may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The date that amendments were last made will be displayed at the top of these Terms and Conditions, and any amendments will take effect upon posting. Every time you wish to purchase a Self-Transfer Itinerary and/or the Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee, please check these Terms and Conditions to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time.
  • The Guarantees are issued by Trip.com Travel Singapore Pte. Ltd., a limited liability company with its address at 1 Harbourfront Ave, #03-12/13, Keppel Bay Tower, Singapore. We are a global online travel agency.
  • By making a claim under a Guarantee, you hereby assign to us your present and future rights, title, and interest in all claims you may have against the relevant airlines in connection with the relevant Trigger Event (including, without limitation, under EU regulation 261/2004) and agree not to enter into any negotiations or accept any offers either directly or indirectly (via a third party) from the relevant airline. See section 6 below for more information.
  • When using our website or app and purchasing travel products, our General Terms and Conditions will also apply https://pages.trip.com/service-guideline/terms-en-us.html .

Activating a Guarantee

  • The Guarantees may be activated where one of the flights within a Self-Transfer Itinerary is affected by a delay, a cancellation, or a reschedule event (“Affected Flight”) which results in the period of time between the revised arrival time of the affected flight and the immediately following connecting flight being reduced to less than 2 hours (“Trigger Event”) .
  • You can activate the Trip.com Self-Transfer Guarantee by informing us of the existence of the Trigger Event either by phone or email using the contact details provided in your booking confirmation email. In cases where we are independently informed of the Trigger Event, we may contact you directly to notify you and give you the option of activating the Trip.com Self-Transfer Guarantee. If you purchased the Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee, we will always contact you directly to notify you and active the Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee.
  • For the avoidance of any doubt, when the use of a Guarantee results in booking a new flight and the new flight is operated by a different airline to the original flight, the Guarantee will be deemed as having been used and Trip.com will not be obligated to provide the Guarantee to any Trigger Event that occurs to the new flight.
  • The scope and protection provided by the Guarantees differ depending on whether the Trigger Event constitutes a "Short Notice Event" or a "Long Notice Event" and whether you have purchased the Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee.

1. Short Notice Event

  • 1.1 A Short Notice Event is where the delay, cancellation or reschedule event occurs at any time less than 48 hours prior to the affected flight’s originally scheduled take-off time (“Short Notice Event”) .
  • 1.2 Where a Guarantee is activated on the basis of a Short Notice Event, we’ll pull together an alternative travel plan for you as soon as we can. You must reply within 24 hours of us sending you the details of our proposed alternative travel plan to confirm whether you wish to accept it or reject it. If you’re not happy with the alternative travel plan we propose and choose to reject it, we may instead offer you a refund in respect of the affected and unused portion of your Self-Transfer Itinerary in accordance with the calculation described at section 1.5 below. Failure to reply to us within 24 hours, or to agree an alternative travel plan or refund prior to the affected flight’s originally scheduled take-off time, may result in the Guarantee being invalidated.
  • 1.3 In addition to the rights afforded to you under section 1.2, in circumstances where you are notified of the Short Notice Event less than 12 hours prior to the affected flight’s originally scheduled take-off time, you shall be entitled to propose your own alternative travel plan for consideration. Where you propose a travel plan to us for consideration: (i) this shall be approved by us at our sole discretion and will not cover the expense of any non-essential or additional services or upgrades included as part of the proposed travel plan; (ii) any subsequent unauthorized changes by you to your travel plan will disqualify you from the Guarantee and you acknowledge and agree that you will have no claim for performance of it against us in those circumstances. Where we reject a travel plan you have proposed, you shall be entitled to a Trip.com-sourced alternative travel plan or refund pursuant to section 1.2.
  • 1.4 In addition to the rights afforded to you under sections 1.2 and 1.3, in circumstances where you are notified of the Short Notice Event less than 4 hours prior to the affected flight's originally scheduled take-off time and you were unable to contact us (after making reasonable attempts to do so), the Guarantee will permit you to make your own, unapproved booking of flight(s) comparable to the delayed, canceled, or rescheduled flight(s) in your Self-transfer Itinerary. In such circumstances Trip.com will, upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of expense, reimburse you in respect of the full amount of the unused portion of your Self-transfer Itinerary in accordance with the terms described in section 1.5 below, or if you purchased our Upgraded Self-transfer Guarantee (and the calculation amounts to less than US$1,000), up to US$1,000.
  • 1.5 Where you are entitled to a refund or reimbursement in accordance with sections 1.2, 1.4, or 2.2, the value of the unused portion of your Self-transfer Itinerary will be calculated using the formula: (mileage of unused leg(s) / mileage of total trip) × total price paid. For example, if your Self-transfer Itinerary consisted of two legs each of 500 miles duration and was purchased by you for GBP500, then the amount of refund / reimbursement you would be entitled to where the first leg was subject to a delay, cancellation, or reschedule event would be: (500 / 1000) × 500 = GBP250 . As noted above, if you purchased our Upgraded Self-transfer Guarantee (and the calculation amounts to less than US$1,000), Trip.com will reimburse you up to US$1,000. Subject to sections 1.6 and 2.3, refunds and reimbursements provided under this section 1.5 shall be in cash. This section is subject to the section on Alternative Transportation to Final Destination below.
  • 1.6 If you purchased our Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee and are due a refund or reimbursement in accordance with sections 1.2, 1.4, and 1.5, you will have the option to be refunded or reimbursed in either cash or in Trip Coins. For more information on Trip Coins please go to https://us.trip.com/customer/loyalty .
  • Where a Short Notice Event occurs, the following additional services may be requested when contacting us to activate the Guarantee (“Additional Services”):
  • Alternative Transportation to Final Destination: We’re happy to consider any suggestions you may have regarding alternative travel methods such as bus, boat, or train. Where possible, we will factor this into the alternative travel plan we propose. Where alternative transportation is accepted as part of an alternative travel plan, we will reimburse the cost of alternative transportation up to the amount of or currency equivalent to USD120 per ticketed passenger.
  • Alternative Transportation to a Different Airport: We’re happy to cover the cost of airport transfers up to the amount of or currency equivalent to USD120 per ticketed passenger, where this is a necessary part of the alternative travel plan.
  • Accommodation Expenses: In the event that the alternative travel plan involves an overnight connection that results in you needing to stay at the airport for more than 8 hours in order to make a connecting flight that departs after midnight (12am), we are happy to reimburse you accommodation expenses up to the amount of or currency equivalent to USD50 per room during that layover period subject to availability and provided that (i) such accommodation is selected and paid for by us via our own booking channels; and (ii) transportation to/from the hotel is paid for by you. If you purchased our Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee, we will reimburse you accommodation expenses up to the amount of or currency equivalent to USD350 per room.
  • Meal Expenses: Where the agreed alternative travel plan requires you to wait more than 4 hours consecutively in a connecting airport, we will reimburse you for food or meal expenses up to the amount of or currency equivalent to USD15 per ticketed passenger per day on the alternative travel plan. If you purchased our Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee, we will reimburse you for food or meal expenses up to the amount of or currency equivalent to USD30 per ticketed passenger per day.
  • Where you are offered any compensation deemed to be equivalent to the Additional Services by the airline and/or airport, we shall no longer be obliged to compensate and/or reimburse you in respect of those Additional Services. Please note that Additional Services are only available when you agree with our suggested alternative travel plan.

2. Long Notice Event

  • 2.1 A Long Notice Event is where the delay, cancellation, or reschedule event occurs at any time 48 hours or more from the affected flight’s original takeoff time (“Long Notice Event”) .
  • 2.2 Where a Guarantee is activated on the basis of a Long Notice Event, we’ll pull together an alternative travel plan for you as soon as we can. You must reply within 24 hours of us sending you the details of our proposed alternative travel plan, to confirm whether you wish to accept it or reject it. If you’re not happy with the alternative travel plan we propose and choose to reject it, we may instead offer you a refund in respect of the unused portion of your Self-Transfer Itinerary in accordance with the calculation described in section 1.5 above. Failure to reply to us within 24 hours, or to agree an alternative travel plan or refund prior to the affected flight’s originally scheduled take-off time, may result in the Guarantee being invalidated.
  • 2.3 If you purchased our Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee and are due a refund in accordance with sections 2.2 and 1.5, you will have the option to be refunded or reimbursed in either cash or in Trip Coins. For more information on Trip Coins please go to https://us.trip.com/customer/loyalty .

3. Communications

  • All notices and communications made by us to you will be deemed to have been received on the date and time on which the communication was first transmitted by us.
  • Unless we are advised otherwise, all notices and communications will be sent to the email address and/or phone number associated with your Trip.com user account when the flights were originally booked.
  • Where a notice or communication stipulates that a response is required within a specific timeframe, failure to respond within this timeframe will result in disqualification of the Guarantee.

4. Refunds and Payments

  • Our Upgraded Self-Transfer Guarantee is non-refundable once purchased.
  • All eligible refunds or reimbursements under the Guarantees shall be paid by us to the payment card or account used to make your original booking within 14 business days of us receiving all necessary documentation and information. The date that any refund or reimbursement will be paid into your account is subject to the provider of your account.
  • Where you are eligible for a refund or reimbursement, payment will be conditional on you providing us with suitable copies of receipts or any other reasonably requested supporting information.

5. Exceptions and Limitations

  • For the purposes of this section, “Unavoidable Events” refer to extraordinary or unforeseen circumstances and includes, but is not limited to, pandemics, acts of god, extreme weather or geological events, political or security issues, unexpected flight safety deficiencies or strikes that affect the operation of an operating air carrier or destination airport.
  • Where Unavoidable Events result in delay, cancellation, or rescheduling of the first flight in your Self-Transfer Itinerary (i) the Guarantees cannot be relied on for such first flight - under these circumstances it will be the relevant airline carrier’s responsibility to secure alternative travel arrangements for you and you should contact them, and (ii) the Guarantees can be relied on for any subsequent flights in your Self-Transfer Itinerary.
  • The Guarantees do not apply in circumstances where you miss a transfer for reasons other than one of the flights within a Self-Transfer Itinerary being affected by a delay, a cancellation, or a reschedule event, including but not limited to failing to make the transfer in time or being excluded from a flight as a result of your own acts, omissions, fault, or negligence, for example, due to unacceptable behavior or conduct, health or safety grounds or being in possession of inadequate travel documentation.
  • The Guarantees shall not apply in circumstances where a delay in the airport such as at immigration and passport control or baggage collection results in a missed flight.
  • By making a claim under a Guarantee, you hereby assign to us your present and future rights, title and interest in all claims you may have against the relevant airlines in connection with the relevant Trigger Event (including, without limitation, under EU regulation 261/2004) and agree not to enter into any negotiations or accept any offers either directly or indirectly (via a third party) with the relevant airline.
  • By activating a Guarantee you agree you will provide us and our authorized representatives with all reasonable assistance, cooperation, and any requested documentation to allow us to process and enforce any such claims.
  • You agree that we and/or our authorized representatives may represent you in the enforcement and pursuit of any claims against third parties and that you will provide all reasonable assistance, documentation, and information to us to allow us to pursue such claims on your behalf. Where we are successful in pursuing any claim on your behalf, you agree we are entitled at our sole discretion to deduct from any award of damages, our reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with that claim and in fulfilling our obligations to you under the Guarantee.
  • This section does not apply if you have purchased any ancillary products on Trip.com to assist with laws such as EU regulation 261/2004.
  • These Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of them, their subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of Singapore, although this shall not deprive you of any mandatory consumer rights of the law of the country in which you are resident in.
  • You and we both agree that the courts of Singapore will have jurisdiction over any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or their subject matter or formation, although this shall not deprive you of any mandatory right to choose instead to resolve any such dispute or claim in the courts of the country in which you are resident.

You’re our first priority. Every time.

We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with confidence. And while our site doesn’t feature every company or financial product available on the market, we’re proud that the guidance we offer, the information we provide and the tools we create are objective, independent, straightforward — and free.

So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us. This may influence which products we review and write about (and where those products appear on the site), but it in no way affects our recommendations or advice, which are grounded in thousands of hours of research. Our partners cannot pay us to guarantee favorable reviews of their products or services. Here is a list of our partners .

There’s Just One Trick to Traveling Cheaply: Flexibility

Sam Kemmis

Many or all of the products featured here are from our partners who compensate us. This influences which products we write about and where and how the product appears on a page. However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own. Here is a list of our partners and here's how we make money .

So you want to travel on a budget. Who doesn’t? Yet it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the cheap travel tips, hacks and strategies out there that promise unbelievable deals on airfare and hotels.

In reality, there’s only one important tactic for traveling cheaply: being flexible with your travel dates, destination and plans. It might sound simple — or even simplistic — but you would be surprised how few travelers are willing to take this piece of advice to heart.

To be fair, this flexibility-first mindset requires a paradigm shift for many in terms of how they start planning vacations. It requires moving from this type of planning:

“I want to go to Amsterdam from Sept. 5 through 13.”

“I want to go somewhere fun in September.”

For some, this degree of flexibility is simply impossible. Navigating travel planning between work, family and other constraints requires specific dates and plans. Yet for those who can loosen their preconceptions about how to plan travel, it can lead to big savings — and maybe even more fun.

This approach is useful whether you’re paying with cash or using miles , and even for all of the price ranges, from budget to luxury.

Why rigidity is so expensive

The cost of travel depends on the interplay between many factors, including:

Randomness.

Number of options.

When you make specific plans from the get-go, you essentially constrain the last variable — you give yourself fewer options. This means that the cost of your trip will depend entirely on the first three variables, which are completely outside of your control.

This economic interplay will sometimes fall in your favor, and you’ll score a good deal on the exact destination and dates you wanted. But more often than not, you’ll end up paying more than average simply by starting with a severely limited set of options.

How to plan travels with flexibility

You might be asking yourself, “How am I supposed to start planning travel if I have to keep everything up in the air?” While a fair question, it misses an essential component: You can still set some boundaries around your search.

Example parameters might include:

I want to travel in the fall.

I want to sit on the beach.

I don’t want to spend more than $X.

From here, you can begin weighing different destinations and dates to see which could maximize your preferences. For example, you might start with flights to Hawaii , but notice that airfare is through the roof. So you switch to the Caribbean , narrow your interest to a few destinations with cheap flights and then start researching hotel prices.

Finally, you can find the dates and destinations that offer the best combination of price and features, then book your travel.

This might sound remedial, but think about how many times you (or someone you know) have gone about it the other way — by starting with dates and a destination, then accepting whatever costs come up.

The right tools for the job

As this flexible travel approach gains in popularity, travel booking sites and services have begun offering helpful tools specifically designed for the task.

Airfare deal alerts

Airfare deal newsletters, like Scott’s Cheap Flights and Dollar Flight Club, are how many travelers start thinking in terms of flexibility. These newsletters and alert services send a blast to subscribers whenever they discover a low-cost airfare deal.

flexible travel guarantee

But there’s usually a catch: These airfare deals are available only on certain dates, or to very specific (sometimes random-feeling) destinations. You can’t sit around waiting for a great deal from Atlanta to Sydney, because that may not come around in time.

But you can wait for an exciting fare from Atlanta to … somewhere, and jump on it when it becomes available.

Google Flights Explore

Many travel search engines, like Kayak or Orbitz, have highly flexible search tools.

But Google Flights takes it a step further than the travel sites that let you search for flexible dates. It offers a feature that is specifically targeted to even more flexible travel. It’s called “Explore” and it allows you to search in a totally wide-open way.

flexible travel guarantee

To use the tool, enter your departure city, the length of trip you’re looking for and your price range, and Google returns a handful of great deals to a bunch of destinations at random times within your date range.

flexible travel guarantee

Compared with a deal alert service, the drawback is that the available deals displayed depend on when you conduct your search. You might just miss a great deal on Tuesday if you do your search on Monday, for example, but it’s a great way to consider many exciting options at once.

Points and miles

Travel bloggers love to rave about how they scored a first-class ticket to Japan using miles, but they don’t often describe their true secret: extreme flexibility.

Redeeming points and miles for reward travel all but requires a high degree of flexibility to get the most value from them. For one thing, the availability of these flights and rooms can be very spotty. Before you can even determine if an award booking is a good deal or not, you need to actually find an available award booking option.

For another, airlines often double the price or more during high-demand dates.

In short: If you’re looking to use miles on a specific flight on a specific day, you might either pay too much — or not be able to score a ticket at all.

That’s where flexibility comes in. To make things easier, many airlines offer award calendars that let you see which dates and prices are available by month, which can be especially helpful when rooting out hard-to-find premium cabin tickets.

flexible travel guarantee

Stretch yourself

If you’ve always wondered why other people can find great travel deals while you invariably pay out the nose, now you know why. Being flexible with your travel plans is the best way to knock down the cost of travel, period.

What’s more: It can be a lot of fun. Rather than planning exactly where you want to go and when, you can let the deals inform your next vacation. This openness can help you travel to places and have experiences that you never would have otherwise. It doesn’t mean you have to book travel last minute or scrap planning altogether. It just means letting go of two variables — the when and the where — and seeing what comes up.

If it doesn’t work out, you can always book travel the old-fashioned way.

Flexible Dates And Destination Flight Search

At Kiwi.com, we know our customers love to travel on their terms. We recognize there’s a hunger out there for people to be able to explore the world at their own pace, and that’s why we have introduced our flexible flight ticket, Flexi Ticket.

Keep reading to find out about flexible international flight tickets and how they can transform the way you discover new destinations in the future.

  • What Is Flexible Travel?

Flexible travel is becoming more and more popular as time goes on. It’s a style of travel that permits someone to adapt their plans according to changing circumstances, whether changing flight dates or flying with a different airline to arrive in a city faster.

Kiwi’s Flexible Flight Search – How It Works And Why It Makes Us The Best Flights Search Engine For Flexible Dates

Kiwi.com’s goal is to make travel as simple and affordable for everyone through flexible flight destination/location search and ticket types.

Have you ever been in a situation where you want to go on vacation but don’t know where or when? Well, that’s where our flexible flight destination and location search comes in handy. Instead of you choosing a fixed departure date and location, let us find you the best deal.

If our flexible date flight search option isn’t enough for you, make your trip even more amendable with one of our three ticket types, Saver, Standard, and Flexi. All offer different kinds of features if you need to change or cancel your trip, which we will get into further through the article.

How To Search For Flights With Flexible Travel Dates And Locations on Kiwi.com

Get your hands on some unbeatable flexible travel deals with just a few clicks. See how you can do this below.

  • Step 1 – Log on to our homepage .
  • Step 2 – Type in the airport you want to fly from.
  • Step 3 – Instead of choosing a city you want to fly to, choose the ‘anywhere’ option.
  • Step 4 – For the departure date section, click ‘anytime.’
  • Step 5 – Wait for the page to load with all your travel options.

A low-fare tip: you don’t have to leave yourself wide open with the ‘anytime’ option for travel dates. You can also choose +1, +3, and +5 days to give yourself some level of flexibility. For example, say you had the whole month of June off for your summer holidays but only want to go away for two weeks; this would benefit you.

  • What You Need To Know About Flexible Tickets

Flexible tickets authorize passengers to change the terms of the ticket after they have purchased it. Once someone has purchased one of these airfares, they can cancel it whenever they want with 80% of the refund returned or change the departure to a later date, depending on which one they’ve bought. While these tickets have huge benefits, it’s important to know that they come with a strict set of rules you should know before booking.

  • The Types Of Flexible Flight Tickets

Kiwi provides three different flexible tickets that come with their own set of rules. Before booking a flight with us, you’ll be asked which one you want to purchase. Let’s break down each ticket.

Saver Tickets

Saver tickets are the most affordable of the three. They’re usually booked by anyone who has concrete plans and doesn’t plan on making any changes.

Saver Ticket Rules

  • If you need to make any changes to your trip, you must pay the full price for a new fare.
  • If you have to cancel your flight altogether, you will receive a €10 credit that can be used with Kiwi.com. This is only for bookings over €20.
  • Any changes or cancellations you want can be made up to 48 hours before the departure time.
  • Anyone who has booked the flight within a week of the departure date can make changes up to 4 hours before take off.

Standard Tickets

Standard tickets give travelers some flexibility, but not as much as the flexi ticket. They’re for those who think they might have to change their flight date but have no plans to cancel it totally.

Standard Ticket Rules

  • If you need to change your flight dates, you’ll only have to pay whatever the difference is in price. Say the price is lower or the same; you won’t have to pay anything, it’s absolutely free.
  • If you have to cancel your trip, unfortunately, you won’t get a refund; you’ll only receive the €10 credit, like the saver ticket.
  • Any fare changes must be made at the latest 48 hours before departure, unless you booked your ticket within a week of the departure date. In that case, you can apply changes 4 hours before take off.

Changes to a standard ticket can only be made once. If you have to make another change, you must follow the same rules for saver tickets.

Flexi Tickets

Flexi Tickets guarantee travelers the freedom to book airfares without worrying about not getting their money back if they change their mind last minute. Backpackers, in particular, love our Flexi Ticket option.

Flexi Ticket Rules

  • If you want to change the dates of your departure, you can do so freely. All you have to do is pay the difference between flight tickets, or if it’s less, you don’t have to pay anything.
  • If you need to take advantage of the free flight cancellation option for your booking, you can do so up to 48 hours before departure, and you’ll receive 80% of the fee you paid to the carrier, including bags and seats. You’ll have a choice of how you want to be paid, either through money or Kiwi Credit.
  • Like the other options, if you booked the fare within a week of departure, you can amend it up to 4 hours before.

Please note that when a customer cancels a Standard or Flexi Ticket with us, we usually refund them even if the carrier has a different refund policy. If, in the future, they decide to reimburse you with the money, we will keep that as a service fee for refunding you already.

Kiwi.com’s types of flexible flight tickets

Standard Ticket VS. Flexible Tickets – Which One Should You Choose

Standard and Flexible Tickets both come with their perks, but they’re also for two different kinds of travelers. Standard tickets are for someone who will travel to the destination, regardless of whether their plans change; it just might be later. In comparison, flexible tickets fall into the category of people who may or may not actually go on the trip but want to have something booked just in case.

Before choosing the right ticket for you, ask yourself the following questions.

  • Is there a chance your dates of travel will change?
  • Could there be a possibility that you don’t go at all?
  • What Is The Difference Between Flexi And Saver Flights?

Flexi and saver Tickets are completely different from each other.

Flexi Tickets come with a variety of advantages, such as an 80% refund and simple flight changes, with you only having to pay the difference. Whereas with a saver ticket, you don’t get any of these perks. If you run into any trouble and need to adapt your itinerary, you’ll be forced to pay for the change, or if you cancel, you won’t get a refund.

Frequently asked questions

What do i need to know before booking a flight.

There are various factors to consider when booking a flight including cost, fare classes, baggage policies, the complications of flying long haul, and complying with airport regulations. To make your booking journey smoother KAYAK has developed a comprehensive flight guide including insights on finding affordable flights, packing efficiently, and utilizing the best travel tools.

Which month of the year are flight prices lowest?

It’s well established that flights in the low season are generally cheaper than ticket prices during the high season. That means that knowing which month to find the lowest priced plane tickets will depend heavily on seasonality and your destination. While avoiding peak travel times can help you keep costs down, our data shows that the month with the lowest priced plane tickets for domestic flights based on all searches made on KAYAK in the last 12 months was January, while the most expensive was March. If you’re booking an international flight, then January is the cheapest month to fly and June the most expensive.

Can flying international flights with a layover save money on airfare?

For many long-haul international flights, flying non-stop is not possible and you will have to fly with a layover. Some routes will offer both and you could consider flying with a layover for a number of reasons. Firstly, breaking up what would otherwise be a long-haul flight, taking a rest and then completing the journey might make the flight more manageable. Secondly, prices can also be lower than non-stop flights, so while it might take longer for you to reach your destination, you could save money. We’ve looked at prices over the last 12 months for the 100 most popular international destinations for KAYAK users and on average, prices for non-stop flights were cheaper than flights with a layover.

How do I find the best flight deals on KAYAK?

A simple flight search at https://www.kayak.com/flights scans for prices on hundreds of travel sites in seconds. We gather flight deals from across the web and put them in one place. Then on the search results page you can use various filters to compare options for the same flight and easily choose the best flight deal from all of the deals coming straight from the travel sites to your screen, with no extra fee from KAYAK.

Does KAYAK query more flight providers than competitors?

Yes, KAYAK has access to more data and information than online travel agencies and consistently outperforms the competition in accuracy, globally.

What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care?

Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you flights up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. That way, you can see if leaving a day or two earlier will find you a better deal. You can also select the flexible "weekend" or "month" search options to widen your search range and find the cheapest price that works for you.

What is the cheapest day of the week to book a flight?

The best day to book your flight depends on a number of factors, but there are general trends that you can follow to increase your chances of cheaper plane tickets. Based on an analysis of KAYAK data for all flights departing from inside United States over the last 12 months, the cheapest day to fly for domestic flights is Tuesday. For international flights, Thursday had the cheapest tickets on average.

When is the best time to buy plane tickets - Last minute or in advance?

Last minute flight deals are definitely up for grabs but when exactly to purchase your plane tickets will depend on where you’re traveling to and from. Based on all data for flight searches made on KAYAK over the last 12 months, prices for domestic flights remained below the average price up to 1 weeks before departure. For international flights, deals could still be had up to 1 weeks prior to the departure date, with prices remaining below average. If you’re flexible, KAYAK brings you both advance and last minute one-way and round-trip flight deals.

How does KAYAK find such low flight prices?

KAYAK processes over 2 billion flight queries annually and displays results from hundreds of airlines and third party sites, allowing it to find a variety of flight prices and options. It also displays results from 2M+ properties along with rental cars, vacation packages, activities and millions of verified reviews so users can see as many available travel options as possible.

How can Hacker Fares save me money?

Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets on different airlines when it can save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket.

How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.
