1 - Do you accept third party payments?
If the credit card holder is not traveling, we may require a credit card authorization form to be filled out by the card holder as well as copy of the credit card holder's Picture ID. You can print a credit card authorization form
here.
2 - Why don't you issue paper tickets anymore?
To reduce costs and save time most airlines prefer to issue e-tickets. It is as
safe to purchase e-tickets, as it is to purchase paper ones. Most airlines will
charge you a minimum $50 extra if you prefer paper tickets. Some airlines or
some combinations of airlines require us to issue you paper tickets. In this
case, you will not be charged a ticket fee, but you will be charged a shipping
fee.
3 - Why can't I see more details regarding certain flights (i.e. airline name, flight number, exact departure date)?
In order to preserve the low rates negotiated with the airlines, we are not allowed, for certain routes and dates, to display the name of the airline, the flight number, or the exact time of the departure. You will see the name of the airline and the complete routes as well as the details of the flight once you book. You will however be able to see a 3-hour range for departing and arrival times and how many connections are involved and the total trip duration. We guarantee it will be a major airline.
4 - Why is the final price higher than the one you advertised?
If you came to our site following a link advertising a certain fare, you might
find that the advertised price does not match the final price. This can happen
for a variety of reasons. First, there are taxes and fees associated with
international flights, which are not included in the advertised price. (Read
below). Second, it could happen that at the time of booking all seats in that
advertised price range might have sold out. There are a limited number of seats
associated in a certain price range. Airlines update their prices as often as
six times a day. It is a good idea to book your flight in advance to avoid a
hike in fares. In any case, the total price you will see before proceeding with
your credit card information will be the amount your credit card will be
charged (no surprises there).
5 - Do I need travel insurance? How can I purchase
insurance?
We strongly encourage purchasing travel insurance, although you have the option
of declining it. For example, if an unforeseen event occurs before your
departure and you have to cancel the trip, you will be reimbursed for all or
some of the costs. Otherwise, chances are you will pay cancellation fees and
lose money. Please read our insurance information before deciding either way.
Should you choose to purchase insurance, please contact us and we will be happy
to assist you. You must purchase insurance at the time of purchase - an email
to us will solve the problem.
6 - Do I need to reconfirm my flight?
It is always a good idea to call the airline 72 hours in advance to confirm
your reservation, especially if you booked your flight months in advance.
Once you book a ticket on our site, you will receive a booking number and you
will be able to check the status of your booking on our website.
7 - What kind of documents do I need for leaving the
country?
We are not responsible for providing documentation information for your trip.
You can access the State department links on our website. We recommend you
check with your destination's country consulate in advance before embarking on
your trip. Please pay special attention to children traveling with only one
parent. You will need a passport to visit Europe. If you are a non-US citizen
or a legal alien resident, you might have additional restrictions.
8 - What is the deal with airfare and airport taxes?
Please keep in mind that for international itineraries, foreign and domestic
fees can be around $200, depending on your routing and destination. U.S.
government-imposed charges include a $13.70 international departure tax, a
$13.70 international arrival tax, and $15.10 in immigration and customs fees.
Foreign taxes will fluctuate based on the prevailing exchange rate. We do not
charge processing fees. Please note that ? should you desire a paper ticket ?
there will be additional costs related to issuing the paper ticket and mailing
it to you. Since those taxes are fluctuating, it is rather difficult to include
them when advertising certain prices for certain destinations. However, the
final price you will see on the screen will include all taxes and will be the
amount your credit card will be charged.
9 - Can I purchase a ticket for a person who is overseas?
It depends. Certain restrictions apply in accordance with our contracts with
the airlines. Please send your itinerary request to quotes@atiflights.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible. In case we are able to honor
your request and if you agree with the itinerary provided, you will need to
access our website and print out a credit card authorization that you would
need to fill out and fax back to us to process your request.
10 - Is the FedEx Delivery for paper tickets going to cost
me anything?
Our FedEx Fees are:
Overnight: $30
Regular 2 days: $ 15
Canada: $ 50
11 - Can I do travel arrangements for my pet through your
web site?
We do not have any information as far as pet's reservation is concerned. You
would actually need to contact the carrier directly to get any information and
to make your pet's reservation.
12 - Do you grant child and infant discounts?
Our child policy allows only two children (paying a child discount fare) per
adult. If more than two children are traveling per adult, they will have to pay
the total adult fare. Only 1 infant is permitted per adult. If more than 1
infant is traveling per adult you automatically pay child fares if the fare
rule permits it; otherwise the second infant will pay the total adult fare.
13 - I see more than one charge on my credit card? Why is that?
This happens occasionally and it is due to the multitude of suppliers we are using in order to obtain the lowest prices available. In some cases, you will see more than one charge on the credit card statement, from the airlines and/or from our suppliers. The total amount will be the amount you agreed to pay on our website, so there is nothing to worry here.
