What is an air-hotel package?

Air-hotel packages, also called Vacations, Custom Trips or Travel Deals, are flight and hotel combo packages that provide access to special rates. These rates are only available when booking a flight and hotel at the same time. Flight choices and hotel choices are the same as those booked through flight only and hotel only reservations. The benefit is the money saved by booking a flight and hotel together. Combo package search results reveal the best trips available.

If a combo package transfer is shown as 'round trip,' can it be divided in half to get the price for a one-way transfer?

No. If a rate is published as "round trip," it must be purchased as "round trip".

Do I need to reconfirm my flight before departure?

For domestic travel it is not required by the airline to reconfirm your flight. Some international (non-U.S.) airlines do require passengers to call and reconfirm flights. This must be done directly with the airline 24 - 72 hours prior to departure.

Children and Infants

How do I add my infant (lap child) to a combo package booking?

If you're traveling with an infant/lap child (no seat required), make the combo package booking for all passengers excluding the infant. Once completed, you will need to contact one of our customer care agents so that we can make a notation in your travel record that you are traveling with a lap child. You may e-mail us this information.

Please be sure to include the child's name and age (e.g. "Jane Doe will be 13-months old at time of travel"). To send an e-mail, click here.
