Recap of tools and resources for travel advisors
It is more important than ever to ensure accuracy of information when making a booking:
- Validate and enter the correct date of birth for all passengers
- Ensure that names match the information on the travellers’ passports. A $25 fee applies for a name correction under 45 days of departure
- Confirm which Option Flex your customers wish to purchase (Standard or Extra)
New! Price Drop Guarantee – web form to Request a Fare Adjustment
A new web form is available to request a Price Drop Guarantee fare adjustment for files booked during the Here Comes the Sun promo. The Price Drop Guarantee is valid up to 30 days before departure and bookings must meet all criterias (same departure city, travel dates, destination, room category, and flights as those booked). Files not paid in full at time of request must be paid in full including a $25 per person administration fee once the Price Drop Guarantee is redeemed. Files paid in full at time of request will be refunded the difference in fare less a $25 per person administration fee. The new fare is not guaranteed until you receive an updated invoice from Transat confirming that the request has been granted and processed.
