Check the provider and package

Confirm the company name, real contact details and booking terms. Ask for a written itinerary that identifies each flight, hotel, room basis, transfer and visa service before you pay.

How to verify an agent

Ask how flights are ticketed, who supplies each hotel and what happens if a service changes. Pay through a traceable method and keep your invoice, itinerary and payment receipt together.

Warning signs

Requests to pay a personal account, no written itinerary, prices dramatically below the market and pressure to pay in full immediately are warning signs. Pause and verify the booking before sending money.
