How to book a flight with crypto: held, not charged until the e-ticket

Who books my ticket, and what does "on request" mean?

Our team books your ticket with the airline, after checkout. "On request" means that the ticket is not issued automatically at checkout. Your amount is held while our team books it.

• Final total: our team confirms it before you are charged.
• Higher total: you accept it, or the amount is released. Nothing extra is taken without your agreement.
• Not issued in time: the full amount is released to your balance.
• Baggage and fare rules: they are confirmed with your booking and shown on your e-ticket. They cover changes and refunds.

The price in the search is the fare found live for your dates. Our pricing page explains how the total is built.

What is in my e-ticket?

Your e-ticket is issued by the airline, in each traveller's name, and you find it in My trips. It contains:

• the airline booking code, also called the record locator;
• one e-ticket number per passenger;
• the flights, dates and times, the fare and the baggage included.

Your booking is then managed with the airline. With the airline booking code and your last name, you can usually find it on the airline's website or app. There you can check in and, where the airline allows it, choose seats.

Your flight booking will be bound by the fare rules and Conditions of Carriage of the airline(s).

Why must names match the passport exactly?

Airlines and border authorities compare the name on the ticket with the traveller's ID. In the United States, the Secure Flight rule (49 CFR 1560.101) requires the full name, date of birth and gender. Airlines collect them at booking, or at the latest 72 hours before departure.

Tickets are not transferable, and airlines often accept only small name corrections, if any. Type first names, middle names and last names as printed in the passport. Then read them again on the review screen before you pay.

We never ask for a passport scan or a selfie. Our team passes traveller data to the airline only, to issue the ticket. The full list is on what data airlines require.

What happens if no ticket can be issued?

The full amount is released to your balance, and the booking shows the status Released with its reason. This happens when the ticket can't be issued in time, when the fare is no longer available, or when you decline a higher total.

You were never charged, because your balance is charged only when the e-ticket number is issued. A released amount can be withdrawn in USDT or USDC. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. Amounts released when a booking can't be confirmed, or refunded after a cancellation you did not request, can be withdrawn in USDT or USDC; the rest of the balance is not refundable.

How long does it take to get the e-ticket?

We don't promise an issuing time. Bookings are made on request: our team books each ticket with the airline after checkout. We publish no typical time until one has been measured on real bookings.

While you wait, your balance is held, not charged. My trips shows the status at every step: Awaiting ticket, then Ticketed or Released. If the ticket can't be issued in time, the full amount is released to your balance.

What happens if the airline changes the schedule?

Airlines sometimes change flight times or cancel flights after the ticket is issued. We use the contact you gave at booking to send you the ticket and to tell you about such changes.

The airline may cancel or heavily change your flight. If you don't accept another flight, you get a refund in USDT or USDC within 7 days, or a balance credit, as you choose. Your legal rights are kept: 14 CFR 260.10 in the United States and Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 in the EU. Read refunds when the airline cancels.

What if I want to cancel or change my flight?

Your own changes and cancellations follow the fare rules of your ticket. These rules are confirmed with your booking and shown on your e-ticket. Some fares can be changed or refunded for a fee; many economy fares can't be refunded. Any amount refunded by the airline is credited to your balance, under the refund policy.

If you need flexibility, choose a fare whose rules allow changes. See flexible tickets.
