Booking with FlexFare

Is FlexFare an airline?

No — FlexFare is an independent travel agency, not affiliated with any airline. We compare and book flights across carriers on your behalf.

Why call instead of booking online?

Agents access phone-only consolidator fares, optimize complex itineraries, and explain fare rules before you pay. For international, premium, group, and last-minute trips a call routinely wins.

Does a quote cost anything?

No. Calls and quotes are free. Any service fee on an actual booking is disclosed clearly before payment.

How do I pay?

Major credit and debit cards over the phone, with itemized confirmation before and after payment.

Changes, cancellations & refunds

Can I cancel after booking?

Within 24 hours of booking (flights 7+ days out), yes — full refund under DOT rules. Beyond that, your fare's rules apply, which we disclose before purchase.

What if the airline cancels my flight?

You're entitled to a full refund or rebooking. Call us and we handle it — that's the point of booking through an agency.

Do change fees still exist?

Largely gone on standard domestic economy and above; alive and well on Basic Economy and many international fares. We flag yours before you book.

Baggage & seats

Are bags included in my fare?

Depends on airline and fare class — we quote with the bags you need included so there are no airport surprises. See our Baggage guide for allowances by airline.

Can you guarantee seats together?

We assign seats at booking wherever the airline allows, and know which carriers guarantee family seating free. It's handled before payment, not hoped for at the gate.

Can I bring a car seat or stroller?

Yes — free on every major U.S. carrier, and we note them on your booking record.

Special fares

Do you have senior discounts?

Where airlines offer them on your route, we find and apply them — plus assistance services arranged properly. See our Senior Fares page.

What are student fares?

Special fares on select international carriers with extra baggage and flexible changes for enrolled students. See our Student Fares page.

What military benefits exist?

Extra free bags (up to 5 on orders with some carriers) and unpublished military fares in select markets. See our Military Fares page.

How does group booking work?

10+ travelers unlock airline group desks: locked pricing, deposits instead of full payment, and names due closer to departure. See Group Travel.

Documents & entry

Do I need a visa?

Depends on destination and passport. We flag requirements on every itinerary and link you to the official application source. See Visa Information.

How valid must my passport be?

Six months beyond travel dates for many countries — renew early if you're close.

Is a REAL ID needed for domestic flights?

Yes — U.S. domestic flyers 18+ need a REAL ID-compliant license or a passport at TSA checkpoints.
