How to Avoid Scams when Purchasing Airline Tickets

Article Category: Travel

Author Name: chickie maxwell

Many people have experienced scams when purchasing airline tickets. This is not just about those individuals who looked for affordable airfare, found a great deal and when they tried making the reservation, the fare was already closed. Most of the time, these are not considered scams because they are usually due to the airline rates dynamics. Scams on purchasing airline tickets are when individuals paid for the ticket but were not able to get one or got a ticket but their reservations were not confirmed.

It is important to note that having a ticket does not necessarily mean that your reservation is confirmed. The guidelines below can help you protect yourself when purchasing airline tickets.

Use your common sense

Remember, if you discover an offer that is too good to be true, stay away from it. If you get an estimate from a source that tops all the other sources by thirty percent or more, be careful. Make sure to do further investigation.

In addition, it is essential to read all the fine prints and pay extra attention on what the agent is saying. There are deals wherein you may acquire free fare - but you need to stay at a certain resort or hotel for a particular number of days (this means that you might need to pay more in the long run).

If you are not allowed to use your credit card

This is one of the most essential types of protection that you have to remember. It is recommended to use your credit card when purchasing your ticket - and if the seller declines credit cards or persuades you to pay via other type of payment, forget about it. Reliable sellers should recognize credit cards for payments. A good reason why you must use your credit card is that if ever you are scammed, all you need to do is to contest the charge saying that you have been scammed. Then, the credit card company will not pay for your ticket.

Stay away from credit card frauds

Unless you are sure that you are calling your agent's legitimate office and are talking to a reputable representative, never share your credit card number to your agent via telephone. Furthermore , do not present your personal information such as bank account details and social security number.

Do not believe e-mail offers

Be careful about attractive offers sent through e-mail particularly those unsolicited deals. Almost all those deals are scams. Most of the time, scammers tend to utilize mass e-mail software to forward devious travel offers to a vast number of individuals. In addition, beware of phone calls offering travel deals. If you are not familiar about the company or the travel agency, make sure to get their contact information such as telephone numbers, e-mail address and office address. It is also important to verify their reputation and credentials in the market.

Do not go for pay now travel later schemes

This is how these schemes usually work - you are asked to register in an association that will let you take vacations in the future for an upfront payment. Then, after registering and making your reservation, you will only find out that your travel destination or the date you want is no longer available - and worse, you will be asked for additional payment for airline tickets just to obtain access to more expensive vacation spots that are available.
