Credit/Debit card

If your airline tickets are being paid for with a third party credit/debit card we will require written authorization to be provided by the cardholder prior to making the reservation.

Changes and Cancellations by you The fares shown on swidatrip.com are value or saver fares, which are usually quite restrictive for change or refund. This type of fare will normally carry a significant penalty for cancellations and refunds, which may even be up to a 100% cancellation penalty. Changes may also be restricted, subject to a charge or prohibited altogether, according to route, fare level and airline. If you need to alter your booking prior to ticketing, swidatrip will endeavour to assist. Once swidatrip has received payment, and a ticket has been issued, any changes will be treated as a cancellation and rebooking, and the cancellation charges as set out by the airline will be payable. You or any member of your party may cancel your reservation at any time prior to departure provided that the cancellation is confirmed in writing by the person who made the original booking or via email from the email address of the person who made the booking. Receipt of said must be acknowledged by a member of the swidatrip Team. All tickets returned for refund are subject to a minimum admin charge of $45 per ticket, irrespective of the number of tickets returned. In all cases, unused airline tickets, where reservations are not cancelled prior to departure, are non-refundable.

Refunds

Tickets are presented to the respective airlines or consolidator for assessment. Refunds will not be paid to you until Swidatrip has received the funds from the relevant airline or consolidator. This usually takes a minimum of 8-10 weeks but in some cases (i.e. lost tickets etc.) may take up to 9 months. Lost or mislaid tickets will incur a re-issue fee levied by the airline or if required a new set of tickets will have to be issued at the clients cost. It is always a good idea to keep a copy of your airline ticket, passport and any relevant visas separate from your travel documents. This will help to expedite their reissue if lost or mislaid.The amount will be refunded after charging all the charges such as cancellation charge, as we know that all different airlines has different cancellation charge, so for each airline you book the cancellation charge will be charged as per the airlines and Swida trip cancellation charge will be applicable which will not exceed form $1 to $ 4000. And it is also applicable for rest of the products. The service charge will not be refunded along with service tax.
