FAQ'S

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

What’s an e–ticket?

An e–ticket (electronic ticket) is a paperless electronic document with a unique confirmation number that neatly replaces the hassles of a paper ticket. When you purchase an e–ticket, we email it to you after the booking is complete. Simply print it out and bring it with you – along with a valid photo ID – to the airline counter when checking in for your flight.

What is the maximum number of seats I can book?

A maximum of 9 seats can be booked at one time. If you need to book for more than 9 travelers you will have to repeat the booking process for the additional travelers.

Can I book a multi–city trip?

This feature is currently not available.

Can I book tickets for infants?

Yes. Infants under the age of 2 years can travel without any separate booking. Make sure that infant must be 24 months or below throughout the booked travel. If the infant is above 24 months during the return journey, the infant ticket will be cancelled which may cause booking of a separate ticket as per the child fare. Remember to carry valid age proof or birth proof documents of the infant. You can book no more than one infant per adult.

What could cause “zero flight results” error?

To eliminate the error, Clear your browser cache and try the search again.

Where do I enter my frequent flyer number while booking domestic flights?

We do not have an option of entering the frequent flier number at the time of booking domestic flights. You can mention your frequent flyer number at the time of check-in.

I’ve selected 5 passengers (adult + children). Why are some airlines missing from the search results?

Some airlines don’t allow us to book more than 4 passengers (adult + children) in one go, so try to search for fewer passengers.

I got a blank screen submitting my booking form. I got charged but never received an e-ticket. What now?

We’re really sorry for the inconvenience. We suggest you do not try booking again as you may end up getting charged twice.

In case of any urgency please call us at 1860 266 2666 or e-mail us at service.bank@kotak.com and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Is there any processing fee on flight bookings?

Yes. A charge of 200 INR will be charged per passenger per sector. For example, if you have booked a round trip for 1 person then the processing fee will be 200+200=400 INR.

I entered my payment details and hit submit – and all I got was a blank screen! I got charged but don’t have an e–ticket. What now?

We’re really sorry for the inconvenience. In some rare cases, we do not receive the response from the payment gateway on confirmation of payment. In such cases, we would automatically refund the amount charged to your debit/credit card within 15 days. We suggest that in such cases, you search and book your trip again.

I did a search for flight tickets and selected my flight. However, after providing the passenger details, I see that the fares have increased. Why?

Airline fares are dynamic in nature and are based on availability of the seats on the particular flight. There are always chances that the seats selected by you may get sold till the time you complete your booking. Therefore, to minimize the chances of booking failures, you may check the availability of the seats before you proceed with the payment. If you find that the fare has increased at this step, you have the option of refreshing your search or you may go ahead with the booking.
