Which steps to fallow before Buying an Air Ticket?


Buying an air ticket has become a simple matter now. Here are some of the most important yet easily overlooked terms of an air ticket.


No show fee.
You could miss the flight due to traffic or probably overlook the after midnight flight date and arrive one day after the actual flight date. In such cases a no-show fee could apply. It is useful to find out what that
no show fee would be and what’s being the cost of a changed ticket. Usually a no show fee will not be applicable if you change the itinerary with the airline prior to the travel date depending on the terms of your ticket.

Visa requirements and Passport Validity.
It is very important that you have the visa for your destination and the required passport validity (typically 6 months). Some countries require transit visa and if any of the requirements are not met you may not be allowed to board the plane. It's always advisable to purchase the ticket only after all visa have been approved from the respective authorities.

Baggage Policy.
Different airlines have different baggage policies. Some allow 20kg of checked in baggage and 7kg of hand carried baggage for economy class passengers. Some allow 30kg checked in and 10kg cabin baggage. In many cases only 2 pieces of checked in baggage is allowed. It is very important to read the baggage policy to ensure what you take with you to the airport can be carried to the destination without having to pay extra.

Check these and you'll be on your way to that perfect holiday, family reunion or the business trip that you planned. Happy Traveling!
