What recommendations should I follow before traveling?

arrow-icon

Passport validity

It is the traveler’s responsibility to verify and comply with the passport, visa, and travel requirements applicable to your itinerary. You should check the requirements for your own specific circumstances with the corresponding embassies and/or consulates as appropriate. Requirements change so please check the up-to-date requirements in advance of your departure date.

In many cases, countries now require that passports are valid for at least 6 months from the date of departure from their borders. 

COVID-19 vaccination recommendations and other vaccines

It is the responsibility of the traveler to verify and comply with the health requirements, proof of testing, and vaccination applicable to your itinerary both at the destinations and for, if applicable, countries where you have a connecting flight. Requirements change quickly and you should check the updated guidance well in advance of departure as well as shortly before departure.

Check with the migration and health authorities for the country of origin, destination, and stopover to learn more about vaccination requirements.

Traveling to the United States: Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)

ESTA stands for Electronic System for Travel Authorization. ESTA is an online application system, developed by the United States government to pre-screen travelers before authorizing them to board a plane or ship bound for the United States. Starting on the 12th of January 2009, any person entering the United States under the Visa Waiver Program must have an approved ESTA travel authorization. This includes travelers who travel to the United States to catch a connecting flight. An ESTA does not guarantee entry to the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials determine the admissibility of travelers upon arrival. For more information click here.

If a traveler is found to have visited a country designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism (09.11.2022, Countries: Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria), the traveler is no longer eligible to participate in the Visa Wavier Program and must apply for a visa to enter the United States. 

Traveling to Canada: Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) 

An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is an entry requirement for citizens of visa-exempt countries traveling to Canada by air. This includes travelers who travel to Canada to catch a connecting flight. An eTA is linked electronically to the traveler's passport and is valid for a maximum of five years or until the passport expires, depending on which of these two scenarios occurs first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new eTA.

An eTA does not guarantee entry to Canada. When you arrive in Canada, a border services officer will ask to see your passport and other documents to determine whether you are admissible to enter Canada. For more information click here.

Traveling to a Schengen member country (Europe): Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS)

The ETIAS travel authorization will be needed to enter a Schengen member country by air, land, or sea. From November 2023, visitors that do not need a visa to enter Europe will be able to register with ETIAS. ETIAS will become a mandatory entry requirement. The ETIAS for Europe will grant travelers authorization to visit the ETIAS countries that are all members that compose the Schengen zone. The ETIAS visa waiver has been designed for short-term stays of up to 90 days. For more information click here.

What is a CVV/CVC number and where can you find it on your credit card?

arrow-icon

The CVV Code is a security code that, on most cards, is a three-digit code located on the back of the card, inside the signature area. For American Express the CVV code appears as 4 digits above the card number on the front of the card.

arrow-icon

If you have received a discount code or a bonus, you have two options.

Why has my payment been declined?

arrow-icon

If you're using a bank transfer:

1. Error in bank details: Check the details entered for the transfer are correct, the account type or bank details may be entered incorrectly.

2. Insufficient funds: Verify that the account used has sufficient funds available to cover the amount required for the transfer. 

3. Transfer failure: Your bank account was closed or may be frozen or has restrictions applied. Contact your bank for support.


If you're using a credit card:

1. Incorrect card number: Check and confirm that you've entered the correct card number without spaces or hyphens.

2. Expired credit card: If the card has not expired, check that the date has been entered correctly.

3. Incorrect security code: Error writing CVV / CVC card verification code: Check that you have correctly entered the card's CVV code. The CVV Code is a security code that, on most cards, is found on the back of the card, in the signature area. For American Express the CVV code is the 4 digits that appear on the front of the card above the card number.

4. Credit limit reached: Verify that the card you are using has a sufficient balance. Verify with your bank that you are not exceeding the limit of your card. Remember that even if you have a balance in your bank account, you may have exceeded the daily or monthly limit of your card. In any case, you can contact your bank to extend the limits, or indicate that you are going to proceed with a purchase, specifying the amount. 

5. Secure payment or 3DSecure: With some purchases, your bank asks for an extra verification step when making the payment. Most of the time it is a code sent by SMS or through your bank's APP. Remember to have your mobile phone nearby to be able to enter the code you receive on your phone. Once you receive it on your mobile phone, you must enter the code in the purchase process.

Why is my payment via bank transfer not showing in my booking?

arrow-icon

Incorrect reference or payment description: Ensure the provided reference number or payment details are included when initiating the transfer to match it with your booking.

Bank transfer processing time: Allow a few business days for the transfer to be processed, depending on the banks involved.
