Last Updated: August 2026 • DGCA & IATA Aviation Compliant

1. GDS & LCC Reservation Rules

Flight search results displayed on WaapTravel aggregate inventory from Global Distribution Systems (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport), Direct NDC channels, and Low-Cost Carriers (IndiGo, Akasa, AirAsia):

GDS Ticket Hold Limits: GDS fare holds are subject to airline time limits (TL). If a held PNR is not ticketed prior to expiration, the fare will be automatically cancelled by the host airline.
LCC Instant Ticketing: Low-Cost Carrier bookings require immediate debit from the agent wallet to generate valid e-tickets.

2. Passenger Name Correction Policy

Airlines enforce strict name accuracy on all tickets matching government photo ID (Aadhaar, Passport):

Name Change Restrictions

Full passenger name transfers are prohibited by airline regulations. Minor spelling corrections (up to 3 characters) can be requested via our helpdesk subject to airline approval fees.

3. Baggage & Ancillary Add-Ons

Check-in and cabin baggage allowances are defined by the operating airline. Pre-purchased extra baggage, seat selection, and meal add-ons are non-refundable once confirmed by the carrier.

4. Flight No-Show Terms

If a passenger fails to check in prior to the gate closure (No-Show), refund eligibility is strictly determined by the operating carrier's No-Show policy. Statutory airport taxes remain refundable upon request.
