Nowadays, to book tickets is simple and quick. You can book on airline’s either on the travel agency website. All you need is a computer, access to the internet and the purpose to fly! You do not need to be a computer expert! Just follow some steps on the booking website and your online booking is ready!




Further, you will find 5 important things you should watch for while booking tickets online:
1. Never save the page with the flight results. On the booking websites, the prices are not fixed and they are updated every 10 minutes. Remember that the time of the online booking session is 10 minutes. It is counted from the moment you click on the button “search”.
2. Always check the selected airports, dates of departure and return, the number of passengers. It is very important to double-check all selected data during the entire booking session. There is always the risk to mistake the city of the departure with the city of the return, or the dates, or the months.
3. Check the selected flight, airline, price, flight hours, time among the connecting flights. As regards connecting flights, you should know that most of the online booking websites combine the flights to get the best price. Being happy to find a cheap flight or being in a hurry, we forget to check the time among connecting flights, i.e., for a 30 – 50 minutes stop you should:
⦁ know very well the airport,
⦁ not travel with kids or persons with limited mobility,
⦁ not travel from a country that requires additional passport control (e.g. entrance in Schengen Zone from a non-Schengen country)
for a too long stop that can be scheduled for the next day, maybe required:
⦁ a transit visa
⦁ the luggage pick-up
⦁ payment of additional check-in fee
⦁ or, unexpected costs for a hotel, because it is tiring to stay overnight at the airport.
4. Choose the correct passengers’ gender and do not misspell or reverse surname/name. Always write these data as in your passport. As having them incorrect on the electronic ticket, can cause unexpected delays, additional costs, or (the worse scenario) the passenger can be denied on embarkation. The fact is that when you present the passport at the check-in desk, the check-in manager finds the reservation based on the passport data (surname and name). If the surname/name mismatch the airline cannot find the booking in the airline’s reservation system.
If you have more surnames/names, on many sites you will have no possibility to write them with space or hyphen and in this case, you will write them together (e.g., AndersonMoss for the surname and   JohnAndrew for the name). You will not face any problems while check-in. On electronic tickets, the multiple surnames/names are written in this way.
5. Provide correct contact details: e-mail and phone number with country code, so the travel agency or airline can contact you when it is necessary.
This is the list of 5 main things to watch for while booking tickets online. Wish you a smooth online booking process.
