Business travel

A practical checklist for smoother flight bookings

Keep schedules, fares and baggage clear before you confirm a booking.

Match names to passports

The name on the ticket must match the passport exactly. Check spelling, middle names and order before you confirm, as name changes are often costly or not allowed.

Double-check dates and times

Confirm the travel dates, local departure times and time zones. Overnight flights and date-line crossings are easy to misread.

Read the fare rules

Know what the fare allows before booking: changes, refunds and seat selection. A cheaper fare isn't a saving if the plans are likely to move.

Confirm the baggage allowance

Check cabin and checked baggage for every leg, especially on connections between different airlines. Add bags at booking, when it's usually cheaper.

Send a clear confirmation

Share the booking reference, itinerary and baggage details with the traveller. Keep a copy against their profile so support can find it quickly.
