On international groups, documents cause more problems than flights. Run through this list before you pay the balance.
Passports
- Many countries require passports to be valid for at least six months beyond the travel date.
- Check there are blank pages for visas and stamps.
- The name on the ticket must match the passport exactly.
Visas
- Check visa rules for each nationality in the group — not everyone may hold an Indian passport.
- Apply early; group applications take longer to assemble.
- Do not pay the airline balance until you are reasonably confident visas will come through, unless the fare rules allow cancellation.
If someone's visa is refused
Tell us immediately. Depending on the stage of the booking, the seat may be released or the ticket cancelled under the fare rules. Some airlines are more flexible when proof of the visa refusal is provided.
Transit
Some connections require a transit visa even if you do not leave the airport. Check the rules for every country on the route, not just the destination.
Quick answers
