FLIGHTS
Seat Selection & Frequent Flyer Points:
At TripADeal we do not arrange seat
selection. It is important to highlight that
some Airlines do not allow pre-selected seats.
We strongly suggest you contact the Airline
directly with seating allocation requirements
and or arrive at the airport earlier to arrange
your seating. While we do not add frequent
flyer member details to bookings, you can do
this directly with the Airline once you have
your flight information.
Passport Validity:
Customers are required to provide valid
passport details either at the time of
purchase, or no later than 45 days prior to
departure date. Failure to do so may result in
cancellation of the booking. In this instance,
customers will be responsible for any costs
and fees incurred.
