What to check before you pay for a flight

What to check before you pay for a flight

Checkout is where cheap fares grow fees and where scams finish. Slow down. Azurovia already ranked the offer. The seller’s page is a new contract.

The list

Passenger names match IDs — name corrections. Dates and airports are the ones you searched, including return. Cabin and fare brand (basic vs main). Bags included versus paid. The total currency is USD as you expected. The domain is the airline or travel site you intended — fake sites.

Payment

Use a card with fraud protection. Do not use gift cards, crypto, or a friend’s transfer “because the site is down.” If the seller requires a wallet you have never heard of, leave.

After pay

Save the email. Confirm the record on the airline if a travel site issued it (it can take minutes to hours). Set a calendar reminder for check-in. Azurovia cannot show a boarding pass we never issued.
