If you would like to sponsor a booking, we will accept credit or debit card payments for the sponsored booking.
If you choose to “Book Now & Pay Later”, it is important that you pay close attention to the booking hold period on your booking confirmation receipt, as failure to make a payment for your flight within the specified time period will result in the booking being auto-cancelled. Should this happen, you would need to make a new booking.
Booking hold periods, with the permitted payment time limits, are as follows:
- If the booking is made seven (7) or more days before the departure date, payment will be due within seventy-two (72) hours of the booking time.

- If the booking is made between 48 and 24 hours before the departure time, payment will be due within four (4) hours of the booking time.
- If the booking is made between 24 and six (6) hours before the departure time, payment will be due within one (1) hour of the booking time.
- For any booking made within six (6) hours of the departure time, the PAY LATER option is not available, and immediate payment is required.
Note: During the hold period, the fare will be subject to our tariffs applicable on the payment date, pricing currency and increases to any taxes or charges imposed by any government or other authority or by the operator of an airport. The listed items are not exhaustive and may change without prior notification. Accordingly, a fare for any flight is not guaranteed until the ticket for such flight has been issued and We have received full payment in respect thereof.
Refunds

Refunds are permitted in the following circumstances:
- Our Value Plus fares and taxes are refundable up to two hours before the scheduled time of departure of your booked flight. A refund administration fee shall apply.
Terms & Conditions apply. - Should a customer change/upgrade their ticket to a Value Plus ticket, the original fare non-refundability rule of either Value or Value Flex will remain.
