How do I know that my booking is confirmed?
Your booking can only be confirmed once the money you transferred has reflected on TravelStart account. Once processed, you will receive an e-ticket email or, for certain low cost carriers, a confirmation email with a reference number. When you make your booking, we will first send you a booking confirmation e-mail. This contains:
- Your booking reference number with us
- Your airline booking reference number
- Your flight details
- Your payment details
For non-low cost carriers you will receive an e-ticket email, which contains in addition to the points above:
- Your e-ticket number
- A link where you can log in and view real-time information about your flight
For low cost carriers you will receive a confirmation email from the respective airline with the reference number and a confirmation email from TravelStart. Please note that most low cost carriers do not issue tickets.
What is the difference between a direct flight, a non stop flight and a flight with a connection?
- Many people think nonstop and direct flights are interchangeable terms, but there are differences between the two.
- A nonstop 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?
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 TravelStart Team offer on TravelStart 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 could 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 TravelStart 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 TravelStart website. Please Contact Us.
Can I make a reservation for more than 9 passengers in the same booking?
No, this is not possible. Please Contact TravelStart.
How do I book an unaccompanied child?
Please contact the airline directly to book a ticket for an unaccompanied child as TravelStart Team 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 adults lap. Most airlines offer baby baskets for infants up to six months old (depending on length and weight) to be requested on long haul flights. To make this request, you can Contact TravelStart. A service fee will apply to process this request. As the confirmation of the request depends on the airline, TravelStart Team cannot guarantee that this service will be available on your chosen flights.
Can I redeem airmiles when I make a booking with you?
Unfortunately TravelStart Team cannot help you redeem your air miles (for example if you would like to book your flight using your accumulated credit). This must be done directly through the airline. You will also need to contact the airline directly if you want information about the status of your frequent flyer account. However, what TravelStart Team can do is make sure that your frequent flyer number is added to your booking. You can Contact TravelStart for this. A service fee may apply to process this request. As the confirmation of the request depends on the airline, TravelStart Team 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?
The airlines have the right to reschedule their flights if necessary. TravelStart Team will try TravelStart best to inform you of a schedule change on your reservation, but at times it is impossible to reach everybody especially at your destination. Please note that it is ultimately your responsibility to reconfirm your flights prior to departure, by either calling the Airline directly or logging onto any of the following websites to check if your flight itinerary has been changed:
What are your Extras and how can I book them?
You have the option to choose services like Travel Insurance, Cancellation and Refund Policy, Accident Aviation Benefit and Airline Liquidation Policy when you make your booking online and pay for it straight away.
Can I book a flight with an outbound departure from another country than the one I am presently situated in?
Yes you can.
How do I request a 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 on board or if they are wheelchair-bound on a permanent bases. Please note that we cannot guarantee this service as the confirmation of your requests depends on the airline.
I am nervous about booking online. Can I make a booking with Travelstart anyway?
With pleasure. TravelStart customer service agents will be happy to assist you with your booking.
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 the further information for security reasons before TravelStart Team can issue your ticket (if departure is in less than 96 hours). If you book well in advance TravelStart Team can issue your ticket with the passengers' 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, TravelStart Team will remind you to provide TravelStart with these details via an urgent email with a link that allows you to fill out the necessary information using an online form. TravelStart Team also display information online with the option to fill out a form during the booking process.
For early departures to/from/via the USA or any destination with certain airlines (Egyptair, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways), TravelStart Team can only guarantee the same price if TravelStart Team receive the required information before midnight (Nigerian time) on the same day the booking was made. Should TravelStart Team not receive your information before midnight, TravelStart Team cannot issue your ticket and therefore cannot guarantee your ticket price.
The required information TravelStart Team 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 haven't 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.

Disclaimer
Travelstart will have no liability to pay any benefit in relation to any insured event for which the insured person may be able to seek compensation from an airline. If the insured person proves that he has taken all reasonable and necessary steps for claims from the airline, Travelstart will pay a pro-rata portion of the benefits. Travelstart’s liability will be calculated by reducing the benefits by the amount for which Travelstart considers the airline to be liable.

This means that a single journey which involves more than one independent flight (i.e. separated by a landing and take-off) will require the payment of only one single premium.
