Jet Airways to let customers lock fares and book later

Passengers booking tickets on Jet Airways website will now have the facility to select fare and book tickets later.

The airline will allow customers to make booking within 72 hours of the selection upon payment of a fee.

Jet Airways is the first airline in the country to provide this facility to its customers who make reservation through its website or app.

Jet Airways and other full service airlines allow travel agents to make reservation and hold it from 24-72 hours before issuing tickets without charge but this facility is now available for overseas routes.

Jet Airways said its booking feature FareLock is applicable for flights across its network and offers guests the opportunity to plan their travel with greater ease and convenience.

"FareLock is available on the airline's online platforms, its website, the mobile site and the mobile app. Once a guest selects the FareLock option, they will need to pay a nominal fee of Rs 350 for a domestic ticket and Rs 700 for an international ticket to lock the available fare. Guests can return to any of the Jet Airways online platforms within the next 72 hours to purchase the tickets and confirm their booking at the pre-selected fare by using the Manage Booking feature," the airline said in a statement today.
