How do I know if my flight is confirmed?

Verifying Flight Confirmation

When you book a flight through an online travel agency (OTA) like Expedia or Kayak, it’s crucial to confirm your reservation directly on their platform to ensure accuracy and prevent potential travel disruptions. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Access Your Reservation

• Go to the OTA’s website and sign in to your account.
• Navigate to the “My Bookings” or “Manage My Trips” section.
• Locate the booking associated with your flight and click on it.

Step 2: Check the Reservation Details

• Verify that the following information is correct:
  • Flight number and airline
  • Departure and arrival airports
  • Departure and arrival times
  • Seat assignment (if applicable)
  • Number of passengers

Step 3: Look for Confirmation Status

• Within the reservation details, you should see a section that states the confirmation status of your flight. This may be labeled as “Confirmed,” “Pending Confirmation,” or “Waitlisted.”
• If the status is “Confirmed,” your flight is successfully booked and you have a guaranteed seat.

Additional Tips:

• Call the airline directly to double-check your confirmation status, especially if you have any concerns.
• Print or save a copy of your confirmation email for easy access.
• Check your inbox for any updates or changes to your reservation.
• If you encounter any discrepancies or issues, contact the OTA or airline immediately to resolve them.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your flight is confirmed and that you have a seamless travel experience.
