For certain types of air tickets these may be non-changeable and non-refundable.
As with all types of airfares we strongly recommend that you carry appropriate travel insurance.

All airlines expect passengers to arrive at a satisfactory time before departure usually three hours of travel regardless of the class of travel, to comply with check in and security formalities.
For passengers arriving later than the recommended check-in time airlines reserve the right of refusing the passenger boarding. This may mean ultimately that your existing air-ticket will be forfeited, and a new ticket will be required to be purchase. Kindly note we are unable to claim responsibility in such an event.
