An e-ticket is an official Electronic Travel Document which contains information about your travel, ticket numbers, payment details, fare terms, policies of carriage etc. Wego shall send you a Booking Confirmation and E-ticket which contains the complete itinerary information. This is your travel document which can be presented at the Airport and at the time of check-in.

An airline PNR is the Passenger Name Record  and is the reference for the particular booking that is logged in the Airline Reservation System. An Airline will be able to assist you with the help of this number.

You can make a flight enquiry directly on the Airlines’ website using your Airline booking reference. It is best to keep a track of your flight status information and avoid unnecessary snags later.

You can check your booking details on the Manage Preferences tab on our Website or alternatively login to the Airline website for re-confirming the flight status.

Within minutes of booking the tickets, you would receive a Booking Confirmation from Wego followed by the E-tickets on the email id used for the booking.

Your booking confirmation is automatically sent to the email address updated at the time of booking. If you have not received your booking confirmation, it’s possible the email id provided was incorrect. Some email servers may also classify these types of emails as Spam so please check your spam folder as well. You can always contact us and we will send you a new booking confirmation. Please note that it is very important that you provide a correct email address during the booking process since we use this to give you notice of any changes in the flight schedule or other changes related to your booking.

Wego will send you regular status updates on any changes that take place on your booking . At the same time, we recommend you to check on the corresponding airlines’ site using your Airline booking reference number to avoid unpleasant snags.

Direct flight bookings are described as :

Direct Flights are where two cities are connected by a single aircraft. Thus flights with none, one or more intermediate stops, but with no change of aircraft are known as direct flights.

Direct Non-stop flights are generally the shortest in duration followed by direct flights with stops.

If the duration of transit is longer than 48 hours and thus involving a break in journey, is termed as a stopover. The cheapest international fares restrict en route stopovers. Higher fare levels may permit stopovers.
