Which airlines can I book through Propeller Travel?
Do I have to pay for my booking straight away?
Air bookings – Depending on the airline, fare and class of travel, we may be able to hold the reservation for a few days, depending on the rules of the specific ticket. It’s important to note, though, that while a reservation may be held, the price is never guaranteed until the ticket is paid for and issued. Some carriers (for example, “low-cost carriers (LCC)” require instant ticketing, in which case we would need to reserve and issue the ticket with final payment on booking day.
Hotel Bookings – Most hotel bookings booked through Propeller Travel, will require a guarantee, which means a credit card number that the hotel can charge you, in case you did not check in and did not cancel your booking in accordance to the conditions of the booking (often 48 hours before check-in.) Actual payment in this scenario will be taken, as usual, by the hotel at check-out.
There are instances where the price of a room booking is lower with instant payment. When that is the case, your dedicated agent will advise you of the options. Lastly, some hotels charge a deposit at time of booking (usually one night), which is refunded if your booking is cancelled within the conditions of that booking.
Airline and Hotel bookings can be complicated. We are here, always, to answer your questions and make sure you have all the required information to make an informed decision.
How can I pay for my booking?
