Flight Booking, Change, Refund and Cancellation
Prior to booking you should read the terms of the IATA Agreement http://www.iatatravelcentre.com/tickets, as well as Fare Rules, flight refund and change terms of the selected service/fare of the Supplier (airline), available on the Website. Fare Rules are displayed on the flight purchase page as provided by global distribution systems and Suppliers. You agree to comply with the rules, terms and restrictions imposed by Supplier of a product or service that you purchase. Any failure to comply with the rules may entail a cancellation of your booking and denial of goods or services without reimbursement of the paid amount. By making a purchase you agree with all corresponding terms, rules and restrictions of Supplier.
During booking, you undertake to provide only reliable and complete data. Please note that due to specific operation aspects of global distribution systems and Supplier’s reservation systems, very often passenger data changes are not permitted once a booking has been made. Any change may lead to booking/ticket cancellation and a refund will only be possible in accordance with the selected fare rules. Thus, you assume all possible risks and expenses related to possible booking mistakes and inaccuracies. Please note that certain airlines may demand that at the time of check-in you present the credit card used to pay for your booking.
Suppliers may cancel your booking unilaterally and without warning if a ‘double booking’ (more than one reservation for a particular passenger on the same flight for one or more dates) has been detected. To avoid this, we recommend that prior to the purchase you cancel all existing duplicate bookings and do not make new duplicates after your booking has been made.
Flights for unaccompanied minor children, passengers unable to move independently, blind or deaf passengers and women in late pregnancy must be booked only in airline offices or agencies.
When selling flights, as well as in case of change or refund of flight ticket, Solartrip receives an agent fee for provision of services of the relevant Suppliers. A corresponding fee sum is included in the cost of the relevant service and is explicitly displayed prior to your purchase on the Website, and in your personal account in case of change or refund of a ticket. This agency fee is not subject to refund in case your flight has been fully or partially refunded, including without limitation the cases of an involuntary refund (flight cancellation or passenger illness or death). Please note that in case the price of the flight ticket(s) changes any time after you make the booking on the Website, namely when the price become lower, we are not obligated to provide you with any kind of a refund, because we booked your flight(s) and processed the respective payment(s) for the price valid at the time of your booking and we are unable to make any further changes in this regard.
Flights can be changed or refunded voluntarily (upon customer’s request) in accordance with airline rules of the selected fare according to which your booking has been made and tickets have been issued. Please note that according to Fare Rules airlines may charge a penalty for change or refund. Involuntary refunds will be made only if approved by the Supplier (airline).
Ticket cancellation is possible only if approved by the Supplier (airline) and if such service is available on the Website. Usually a ticket cancellation is possible within 30 minutes after booking, but not later than 48 hours prior to departure. Tickets with a departure date less than 48 hours of the purchase date are not subject to cancellation.
All sums of fees for the Suppliers’ services provision are explicitly displayed after the start of calculation and until completion of a corresponding procedure at https://secure.Solartrip.com/ticket/.
Please note that if a price freeze or payment by installments is involved, until a full payment for your flight is made:
- Notwithstanding airline conditions, your ticket is not subject to refund or change;
- Downpayment gives a right to purchase flights at a fixed price;
- Downpayment is non-refundable;
- Flight is considered
