What does flexi fare mean?

Okay, so what’s the deal with “flexi fares,” huh? I remember last year, I was so stressed trying to book a flight to see my sister. My work schedule is, well, let’s just say unpredictable. So I was sweating bullets, worrying about needing to change my flights at the last minute. That’s when I discovered flexi fares!

Basically, they’re like, the opposite of those super cheap, non-refundable tickets. You know the ones I’m talking about – the ones that seem amazing until your boss suddenly springs a work trip on you a week before your vacation! With flexi fares, you can usually change your dates or even cancel altogether, for a fee of course – it’s not completely free, you know? But that peace of mind? Totally worth it to me. I mean, who wants to be stuck with a useless ticket costing hundreds of dollars.

Standard fares, on the other hand? They’re great if you’re one hundred percent sure of your travel plans. You get a cheaper ticket, but it’s basically a one-way street – you’re committed! Which is fine, if you’re, say, going to Grandma’s for a pre-planned visit, not a last-minute getaway. But I definitely prefer the flexibility, even if it costs a little more. It really depends on your personality and your travel style, I guess. So think about how sure you are about your travel plans before booking, right? It can save you a whole heap of stress later.
