No-Show tickets
A no-show at the airport refers to a situation where a passenger fails to show up for their scheduled flight and doesn't inform the airline, airport or travel agency in advance. This can result in the passenger being marked as a "no-show" and their seat on the flight being released for other passengers. No-Show tickets cannot be refunded, nor can they be exchanged. Unless the reservation is canceled and the trip rescheduled prior to the original departure date, the ticket is suspended and refunds are not possible.
D) Name changes and name corrections
Carriers have a policy against changing the name or correcting on a booking to a different person once the booking has been confirmed. Therefore, please ensure that all the details entered are accurate before finalizing your booking.
The change of the booking for another person is strictly prohibited.
-
Name corrections within 24 hours of booking
If you notice a misspelling in your name and your ticket qualifies for the free 24-hour airline cancellation policy, we will make an attempt to correct the booking to match your travel documents. To do so, please send us a copy of your passport or other relevant travel documents as proof for the carrier.
The processing fee will apply in case of such a change if you have a ticket protection purchased with us the processing fee will be waived. Additionally, if the fare for the corrected booking has increased, customers will have to pay the fare difference.

E) Denied Boarding.
Airline flights may be overbooked, and there is a slight chance that a seat will not be available on a flight for which a person has a confirmed reservation. If the flight is overbooked, no one will be denied a seat until airline personnel first ask for volunteers willing to give up their reservation in exchange for compensation of the airline's choosing. If there are not enough volunteers, the airline will deny boarding to other persons in accordance with its particular boarding priority. With few exceptions, including failure to comply with the carrier's check-in deadline (carrier shall insert either "of _ minutes prior to each flight segment" or "(which are available upon request from the air carrier)" here), persons denied boarding involuntarily are entitled to compensation. The complete rules for the payment of compensation and each airline's boarding priorities are available at all airport ticket counters and boarding locations. Some airlines do not apply these consumer protections to travel from some foreign countries, although other consumer protections may be available. Check with your airline or your travel agent.
Denied boarding due to other reasons such as lack of a travel document at the check in (health card, visa,transit visa or an expired passport etc.) you have to request from the airline to cancel the tickets 3 hours prior departure to avoid a no-show status, in most cases the coupons end up being suspended and the ticket as non-refundable and non-exchangeable since it’s the passengers responsibility to make sure that all the documents are in check.
F) BAGGAGE.
-
Find out the baggage allowance for your trip
The Baggage Allowance is reflected during the booking process while searching for an option, on the order confirmation sent to your email, and on the electronic ticket.
Additionally, you may check the latest baggage allowance information directly with the airline to find the permitted amount, size, and weight for every type of item you would like to bring on the trip.
Baggage allowance for international trips
Some carriers offer lower fares that do not include luggage. Once you have selected your flight, carefully verify the baggage allowance for your trip. You may purchase the lowest fare with no baggage included and add it to your booking later, before the departure.
Baggage allowance for children and infants fare might differ
Because of a lower fare price, the baggage allowance for an infant/child ticket might differ from an adult’s fare.
Infants (under 23 months) not occupying a seat are not allowed for checked-in baggage and hand luggage on some highly discounted tickets
Children (2 – 11 years) are usually allowed the same baggage allowance as adults if the same fare class is paid
-
Self baggage transfer
In most of the situations listed below, the connections are not covered by the carriers and you will have to recheck your bag:

For individual tickets which were paid separately and you received 2 or more booking confirmations.

When you have a stop at an intermediate point in one’s journey for more than 8 hours.
-
Change of terminals that are not connected within large airports.
-
Self-transfer during a layover, when you have to change the airport within the same trip and you might need to leave the transit zone going through customs or security again.
We recommend checking directly with the carrier the coverage of the connections as it depends on the fare, routing, and the airlines involved.
-
Mishandled baggage assistance
We provide assistance in locating and retrieving any checked baggage that has been lost or misdirected by the airline for bookings that have activated FBC’s Ticket Protection plan.

Carriers may apply extra charges for checked baggage in excess of their permitted allowance. Check with your carrier. Cabin (Unchecked) Baggage: Carriers may permit a free cabin baggage allowance, which is set by the carrier and may differ by class, route, and/or aircraft type.

SPECIAL BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS FOR US TRAVEL: For domestic travel wholly between US points, federal rules require any limit on a carriers baggage liability to be at least $3,400.00 USD per passenger, or the amount currently mandated by 14 CFR 254.5.
G) Check-in Times.
The time shown on the itinerary/receipt is the departure time of the aircraft. Flight departure time is not the same as the time you must check-in or the time you must be available for boarding. Your carrier may refuse your carriage if you are late. Check-in times, as advised by your carrier, are the latest times at which passengers can be accepted for travel; boarding times, as advised by your carrier, are the latest times at which passengers must present themselves for boarding.
H) Frequent Traveler Points

I) Travel Destinations and Visa Requirements
Passengers must possess a valid Passport for all international flights, and it must be presented upon request. It is the passenger's responsibility to have all necessary travel documents at the time of check-in, including visas and health cards that may be required by some countries. Passengers should carefully review visa requirements for all stops, including transit visas, as some countries may have specific requirements. Schengen Entry visas may be necessary for passengers transiting or connecting between airports in the European Union - Schengen Zone. It is recommended to contact the embassy of the destination or transit country for up-to-date requirements. For one-way travel, some countries may have specific eligibility criteria, and it is the traveler's responsibility to ensure they meet those requirements. The U.S. State Department's Travel Advisory Section (phone line: 202-647-5225, official website: www.state.gov) provides information on visas, and non-U.S. passport holders should contact the embassies of their destination and transit countries for entrance requirements.
J) Ticket Delivery.
All the tickets sold by Find Business Class are electronic tickets (e-Tickets) and will be sent to the E-Mail address provided by you during the booking. Once your electronic tickets are issued, you will receive an EMail confirmation which will include the ticket number, and the reservation numbers for each airline you’ll be traveling on.

Our aggregate liability or that of our providers or distributors shall not exceed the total charges set forth in the itinerary giving rise to any such liability. You must file any claim or cause of action arising from, or relating to, your access and use of, or purchase of products and/or services from the website within sixty (60) days from the date such claim or action arose or accrued or purchase was completed.

You use the website at your own risk. We act as an intermediary or agent for providers of travel-related products and/or services and promote, sell, or accept reservations or bookings for such products and/or services, such as air transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, travel insurance, etc. We are in no way liable for the products and services provided by such providers. The carriers, hotels, and other suppliers providing travel or other services on this website are independent contractors and not our agents or employees or affiliates. We are not liable for the acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties, breaches, or negligence of any such suppliers, nor for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting therefrom.

6. PAYMENT
FindBusinessClass takes great care to ensure the safety and security of credit card payments. We accept major credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, and Discover. Credit card transactions are authorized when you or someone acting on your behalf accepts the Terms & Conditions and continues with the purchase. To ensure the validity of the transaction, all credit cards must have a verifiable billing address in the US, Canada, UK, or other approved countries. For transactions deemed high risk, we may contact you or your bank before processing. Fraudulent transactions are reported to relevant authorities. Phone transactions are recorded for evidence in case of any disputes. Please note that submitting your credit card information does not guarantee ticketing, as bookings and fares are only guaranteed once they are ticketed by the supplier.
It is important to be aware that some banks and credit card companies may charge fees for international transactions, such as conversion fees and foreign transaction fees. Your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge a fee, and this may result in a different amount being displayed on your credit or bank statement than the amount shown on the billing summary page. Booking international travel may also be considered an international transaction by your bank, and foreign transaction fees may apply if your credit card was issued outside of the United States. Find Business Class may pass your payment on to an international travel supplier, and the exchange rate and fees are determined solely by your bank on the day of the transaction. If you have any questions or concerns about these fees or the exchange rate, please contact your bank directly.

If your carriage involves more than one carrier, each carrier may have different Conditions, Regulations and applicable tariffs that will apply to your contract of carriage. This notice incorporates by reference the Conditions, Regulations, and applicable tariffs of each carrier, into your contract of carriage.
The Conditions may cover a variety of subjects including but not limited to: limits on the carrier's liability for bodily injury or death of passengers; limitations on the carrier's liability for loss, damage, or delay of goods and baggage, including fragile or perishable items; rules for declaring a higher value for baggage and any associated supplementary fees; application of the carrier's Conditions and limits of liability to the acts of the carrier's agents, servants, and representatives, including those providing equipment or services to the carrier; claims restrictions, including time limits for filing claims against the carrier; rules regarding reconfirmations, reservations, check-in times, the use, duration, and validity of air transportation services, and the carrier's right to refuse carriage; the carrier's rights and limitations regarding delay or failure to perform a service, schedule changes, substitution of alternative carriers or aircraft, re-routing, and, where required by law, the carrier's obligation to notify passengers of the operating carrier or substituted aircraft; and the carrier's rights to refuse carriage to passengers who fail to comply with applicable laws or present all necessary travel documents.

10. POLICIES REGARDING TICKETING
After completing your booking with a travel agent, you will receive an email order confirmation from FindBusinessClass at the email address you provided. This email serves as proof that you have successfully made a reservation with FindBusinessClass, and it includes your Passenger(s) details, Itinerary Details, and Summary of Charges.
Please note that the order confirmation is not the electronic ticket itself. Once your reservation is verified and ticketed, a separate email with an e-ticket will follow.
The Terms of your reservation, including price, availability, dates of travel, etc. are not guaranteed until the booking is ticketed and may be subject to changes due to various reasons.
The ability to cancel or modify a booked flight is restricted and will depend on the airline's fare rules or other terms and conditions. Some airlines may allow free cancellations within 24 hours after ticket issuance, but this possibility is limited for specific airfares and ticket types. If you wish to cancel your reservation, please contact our Customer Care representatives and request the cancelation policy of your ticket.
Changes to name details are restricted by many airlines, and in case any change is required, the customer must be aware that modifications are applied only in accordance with the airline's policy. Most airlines treat a name change as a cancellation, to which standard conditions and charges would apply.
If you need to make any changes and/or modifications to your original booking (cancelation or modification) due to force majeure circumstances, our processing fees will apply in addition to the terms and conditions of the airline company.
If you cancel your booking, you may be entitled to a partial refund. In addition to the cancellation terms and conditions of the airline company, our standard processing fees will apply.
The refundable amount will be credited back to the original source of payment, but please be advised that the return period depends on your bank policy.
If you have booked any products or services, including flights, but do not check-in (no show) or do not avail yourself of the purchased products or services, you will not be entitled to any refund. However, you may be entitled to a tax refund as you have already paid for your flight. This provision is subject to relevant airline policy.

Under these conditions, our company will urge you to study in detail all the ones indicated in this agreement, so that there will still be no differences between the company and customers.
Since you contract any of our company's or of our partners' services through our company, you automatically agree to all fees charged for the contracted services, including those additional that companies may require. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if full payment is not received in a timely fashion.
