Fares and prices

What a price includes, how long a quote holds, and which parts of a trip you can leave out.

Each button shows the requirement in the Lean model behind an answer. Blue means every criterion is proven; amber means at least one is still open. Every amount on these pages comes from facts.json, which lake exe airline-facts computes from the fares in Airline/Fares.lean.

How your total is worked out

Your total starts from the fare, less any discount. We then add any surcharges, fees and taxes in the price. Any sales tax not already included is added on top. Every part of a price is in one currency, and a discount can never be larger than the fare it comes off.

How long a quoted price holds

A quote can come with a price guarantee that lasts until a stated time. Until then, we hold that price, as long as the offer itself is still open. The same goes for the seats in a quote that carries a seat guarantee. A guarantee never lasts past the time the offer closes. If a quote shows no guarantee time, its price is not guaranteed.

When you book

When you accept an offer, your booking keeps the payment deadline and the price guarantee the offer showed. A deadline given as a length of time starts when your booking is made.

Choosing what to book

Some parts of an offer are optional, such as a bag or a seat. You can leave those out and pay only for what you keep. The parts an offer marks as required always come with it, and you can only book parts the offer contains.

Booking a whole trip at once

You can book flights from more than one offer in a single step. We check each part you chose and make one booking from them. A booking needs at least one item.

Still being decided

Booking several offers as one trip

When you book from several offers at once and one of them can no longer be booked, we have not yet decided whether the rest goes ahead or the whole booking stops. If this happens to you, contact us before you pay and we will confirm what you hold.

A price after its guarantee ends

A price guarantee can end before the offer closes. We have not yet decided whether you can still book at the quoted price in that window. If your guarantee has ended, contact us and we will confirm your price before you pay.
