We assure you that your current tickets are safe and remain valid. We have enhanced some of our polices to give you more flexibility due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, and uncertainties of travel.

What are your options for changes to your booking?

If your flight is affected by cancellations or travel ban (from February 2 to March 31, 2021), you can:

Convert to a Travel Voucher and get more value for your ticket.

Equivalent to the unused net value and unused taxes of your ticket PLUS 10% of the unused net value. The unused net value refers to the unused base fare net of commission and other charges/fees. This benefit is available only among passengers who have not made previous changes to their booking. Initially valid for 1 year and can be extended for another year. Travel is subject to fare rules of the redeemed ticket. Requests must be made until March 31, 2021. Click here for the complete terms and conditions of the Travel Voucher.
