There are two types of passengers, one who make last-minute reservations and second those who pre-planned the trip. In the case of pre-planned, most of the users are not confirmed for the trip and they afraid to make the payments.
To provide comfort, airlines introduce the “hold” option. In this, you can hold the flight reservation or in simple words book now and pay later. There are policies too that you must know before you hold your reservation.
- If you apply two times with the same name and itinerary, then you cannot hold the flight
- Here, you do not have to pay any amount to hold the bookings. You can just select the flight and date and make payment later
- You can hold the booking for 6 months, 3 months, 1 month before the flight departure
- Hold option is available on the airline’s website; you can fill in all the details like the number of passengers and class
- The price may get reduced after the booking, but the airline will charge the running price over the ticket. It will help you
The most asked question is how long can I hold my flight reservation without paying ? There will be a fixed period, and if you missed that part, then your hold will no more eligible to hold the booking. It is the one that is set by the airlines.
