Travel Booking Cycle

Before you travel, make sure you have the right visa for your destination and check if you need any vaccinations. Also, confirm that your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your return date.

When booking your flight, double-check that you're flying from and to the correct airports. Some cities have multiple airports, and your connecting flights might use different ones.

Some airlines share codes (like BA and AA). This means your ticket might show one airline, but the actual flight could be operated by their partner. Check which airline is actually flying your route.

The flight times shown are just the time you'll spend in the air. They don't include time for stops or connections. Make sure you have enough time between flights if you have connections.

Check your airline's baggage limits to avoid extra fees. Also look at meal options and note that some "direct" flights might make stops for refueling. You can find this information on the booking page.

If you're unsure about what's included with your seat type (like extra legroom or meals), check the airline's website for details before you book.

Enter your passport information exactly as it appears on your passport. Any mistakes could cause problems at the airport.

Double-check all your flight details - dates, times, passenger names, and contact information - before you continue to payment.

If you have a discount voucher or promo code, enter it now to save money on your booking.

Consider adding travel insurance for peace of mind. You can also add airport parking or car rental if you need them.

Enter your card information carefully. Make sure the billing address matches the address your bank has for you.

Check your email regularly before your flight. Airlines sometimes change flight times or gates, and they'll notify you by email.

About 72 hours before your flight, call the airline directly to confirm your flight is on time. Hold Trips can't do this for you.

Check in online 24-72 hours before your flight (depending on the airline). This saves time at the airport and lets you choose your seat.
