Handy Hints
Things to check before you make a booking.
Ensure you have followed your internal travel policy and approval process.
Have the correct name of the traveller as per their travel documents (i.e. Mike
should not be used as an abbreviation of Michael). Airlines can deny boarding if
the ticket doesn’t match the traveller’s ID.
Make sure that the traveller profile is up to date (if applicable) before making a
booking.
Understand the rules and restrictions of what you intend to book. Seek
clarification with our Traveller Service team if you are unsure.
Do you have any available unused tickets that could potentially be used towards
the new booking?
Are you booking the best fare of the day?
