What is the difference between a direct flight, a non- stop flight and a flight with a connection?

Many people think non-stop and direct flights are interchangeable terms, but there are differences between the two.

A non-stop flight does as its name suggests: flies from one airport to another without stopping.

A direct flight, on the other hand, makes (so called technical) stops along the way.

Often, passengers traveling on direct flights make a stop at a midpoint airport and remain seated on the plane while some passengers exit and others board. An itinerary with connecting flights requires passengers to change planes at a midpoint airport, which may be in a different terminal or on a different airline. Please watch out for the little ‘i’ next to the flight number, which will tell you if there is a technical stop on the flight.

Do I have enough connection time between my flights and could I make a stopover?

The minimum connecting time is the shortest permissible time needed to make a connecting flight at a particular airport. This standard is determined for each airport by the airport authorities together with the respective airlines. The connection times we offer on our website are in accordance with these standards.

In the event that your flight is delayed, causing you to miss your connecting flight, it is the airlines responsibility to rebook you on the next available flight provided that all flights are on one ticket. If no other flights are available then, the airline might offer you accommodation and transport to a hotel.

Depending on the waiting period, meals and refreshments may also be offered by the airline.

If you have two separate tickets connecting two flights, the respective airlines will not take any responsibility if you miss your connection.

Can I book a flight with an outbound departure from another country than the one I am presently situated in?

Yes you can.

Can I book a flight with a stopover?

Yes, you can. While it is not possible to book a ticket with a stopover on our website, you can Contact Us.

Can you help me with an ‘around the world’ ticket?

Unfortunately you cannot book an “around the world” ticket on our website. Please Contact Us

Can I make a reservation for more than 9 passengers in the same booking?

This is not possible on our website. Please Contact Us directly to assist with your booking.

How do I book an unaccompanied child?

Please contact the airline directly to book a ticket for an unaccompanied child as we are not permitted to make these reservations.

How do I travel with an infant / request a baby basket?

Children under the age of 2 usually do not get their own seat. They will have to sit on an adult’s lap. Most airlines offer baby baskets for infants up to six months old (depending on the infant’s length and weight), to be requested on long haul flights. To make this request, you can Contact Us.

A service fee will apply to process this request. As the confirmation of the request depends on the airline, we cannot guarantee that this service will be available on your chosen flights.

Can I redeem air miles when I make a booking with you?

Unfortunately you cannot book a redemption ticket or check your mile balances or status on our website. Please contact the airline directly for this.

However, what we can do is make sure that your frequent flyer number is added to your booking to allow miles to be credited to your account when you book with us. You can Contact Us for this.

A service fee will apply to process this request. As the confirmation of the request depends on the airline, we cannot guarantee that the miles will be credited to your account.

How do I know that the airline has made schedule changes on my booking?

If the airline made a schedule change we will contact you.

What are your Extras and how can I book them?

You have the option to choose services like Travel Insurance, Car Hire, Visas or foreign exchange. You will find under services. Please note that you can issue your own travel policy on our website using the following link : http://www.uniquest.co.za/services/insurance/

How do I request a wheelchair?

Please Contact Us regarding to the wheelchair

Kindly provide us with the information, which passengers will be in need of wheelchair assistance, their age, if they can walk short distances, climb steps and help themselves onboard or if they are wheelchair -bound on a permanent basis. Please note that we cannot guarantee this service as the confirmation of your request depends on the airline.

Why do I need to present my credit card for certain flights?

Certain airlines may request to see the credit card that was used to pay for the booking at check-in in order to avoid possible fraud. If a third person has paid for your flight it will be sufficient to bring a copy of the credit card as well as a copy of the credit card holder’s ID.

Why must I provide date of birth, passport information etc. when making a booking on a certain airline carrier or to/from/via the USA?

Certain airlines and/or governments of the country/ies that you are visiting require/s further information for security reasons before we can issue your ticket (if departure is in less than 96 hours). If you book well in advance we can issue your ticket with the passenger’s full names and date of birth but if the remaining information is not in the booking at least 96 hours before departure, the airline will very likely refuse you to board on the day of your first flight.

When you make a booking, we will remind you to provide us with these details via an urgent email, which needs to be replied to on the same day to guarantee your ticket price, as we cannot issue the ticket without this information.

For early departures to/from/via the USA or any destination with certain airlines (Egyptair, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways), we can only guarantee the same price if we receive the required information before midnight (Tanzanian time) on the same day the booking was made. Should we not receive your information before midnight, we cannot issue your ticket and therefore cannot guarantee your ticket price.

The required information we urgently need from you for each passenger is:

Passport number
Country where passport was issued
Date of passport expiry
Nationality
Redress number (if applicable)
(The redress number is only applicable if you are travelling to the USA and have a name similar to or the same as a name on the current terrorist watch list. You might then experience secondary security screenings at airports, which are very time consuming. You can prevent this by providing your Redress Number at the time of booking. A Redress Number is a unique number that helps TSA (Transportation Security Administration) eliminate watch list misidentification. People who this is applicable to can apply for a redress number at http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/customer/redress/index.shtm.)
If you have not heard of it before, don’t worry about it. You can leave it blank.

If you are not travelling from/via/to the USA or with airlines Egyptair, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways, the additional information is not necessary.

Payments

How do I pay for my booking?

You can pay by internet transfer, cash deposit at a relevant bank or credit card (against a processing fee). At present, we accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Diners Club. You need to enter your credit card details on our website when making your booking in order to process your payment and confirm your booking. We will also request a clear copy of the front and back of your card as well as a copy of your ID be sent to our offices within 12 hours of your making your booking online. This is to ensure your credit card is protected. Bookings that have been made online but the card and ID has not been submitted, will automatically cancel within 24 hours.

You should pay immediately or before midnight (South African time) on the day the booking was made in order to have the quoted price guaranteed.

I am having problems paying for my booking, can you help?

If you have trouble making the payment, please double check that you have typed in all digits (no spaces), expiry date and the 3 digits on the back of the card correctly.

If all information is correctly stated, please contact your bank to make sure that the complications are not initiated on their side (for example because you might have a limit for large amounts).

Can I pay with two different credit cards?

Yes, provided you have more than one passenger and would like to pay for each ticket separately. So you could pay one ticket with one card and the other ticket with another card or via internet bank transfer. It is, however, not possible to pay one ticket partially with two different forms of payment (for example, internet transfer and credit card)

How do I check that you have received my payment?

We will send you a ticket confirmation email.

Do I have to pay taxes on my tickets? May local taxes be added after my ticket has been issued?

Airport departure taxes are included in the prices you see on our website. However, in certain countries (like Thailand for example), a local departure tax is payable directly at the airport on day of departure, in local currency. Prior to ticket issue, taxes can fluctuate due to currency conversions which may alter the total amount due for the booking.

We reserve the right to re-price your booking at the correct amount on day of ticket issue. Should you be unhappy with the new amount, we will refund you in full.

Tickets

When and how will I receive my ticket?

It will be emailed to you shortly after we receive your payment.

Will I receive a ticket from low cost carriers?

Some low cost carriers do not send out tickets but will email you a booking confirmation which you will use to check-in with instead.

Changes/Cancellations

Can I change the dates on my ticket?

Unfortunately there is no simple answer to this question – the rules vary between airlines and different rules pertain to each airfare and booking class.

Please note that a handling fee may apply when we check the fare conditions of your ticket for you even if the outcome is that the airline does not allow changes.

Can I travel on one flight leg and cancel the other?

You may choose to fly on your outbound flight and not use your return flight. However, this does not apply the other way around. If you don’t check in for one of your flights, the airline will cancel all the remaining parts of the ticket, which will become invalid. Please note that you will not get any money refunded for any parts of the ticket not used.

Can I change departure or destination city on my booking / ticket?

No, it is unfortunately not possible to change departure or destination cities on your booking.

Can I change the passenger name on my ticket?

With the exception of low cost carriers, most airlines do not accept name changes after the ticket has been issued. It is sometimes possible to correct a few letters on a ticket against a fee, if the name has been miss-spelled.

If the name on your ticket is not correctly spelled, please Contact Us on the day the booking was made to assess whether we can assist

Can I correct the spelling of my name on the ticket?

In most cases, the airline will permit us to correct the passenger name on the ticket at a fee should the spelling mistake be no more than 3 letters in the name. Low cost carriers are usually more flexible to such changes, however, may charge a fee.

How do I know that the airline has made schedule changes on my booking?

Please refer to ‘Reservations’

How do I cancel my booking?

Please Contact Us so that we can check the fare regulation of your ticket. Not all tickets are refundable with many being only partially refundable

The refund will be made by the airline directly to the account the booking was originally paid with. This can take 6 to 8 weeks depending on the airline. Please note that we charge a refund administration fee to facilitate the refund request.

Often these problems are caused by certain settings on your computer. Please delete your cookies and temporary offline files / cache of your internet browser and see if that makes a difference. If this doesn’t help – have you checked your security settings on your computer? Perhaps these settings are too high (sensitive) and therefore block access to certain web pages.
