Detailed Booking Walkthrough
1. Enter Travel Parameters
Open the airline's flight search engine. Choose between round-trip, one-way, or multi-city. Select your departure city, destination, travel dates, and the number of travelers. Click search to load available flights.
2. Select Fare Category
Most airlines offer multiple tiers within economy class. For example, TAP Air Portugal offers Discount (basic seat, no checked bag), Classic (includes one checked bag), and Plus (includes seat selection and refund option). Choose the tier that best fits your travel needs.
3. Input Personal details
Enter the names of all passengers exactly as they appear on their passports. Any mismatch can result in boarding denials or name correction fees. Double-check birth dates and contact information before moving to checkout.
