For travel protection consider some of these travel tips when booking and purchasing travel services online.<\/p>\n<h2>Review Your Travel Confirmation Details for Mistakes<\/h2>\n<p>It is very important that you take the time to carefully review all the information you have entered and selected during the booking process.\u00a0 This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A careful review of the travel dates<\/li>\n<li>Flight departure and arrival times<\/li>\n<li>Flight departure and destination points<\/li>\n<li>The total cost as well as the spelling of each person\u2019s name you have entered to receive the travel services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Booking errors can easily occur if you are not careful and can result in mistakes such as booking Sydney, Nova Scotia instead of Sydney, Australia.\u00a0 \u00a0It is imperative that you ensure that all the information is correct before you move on to the next step.<\/p>\n<h2>Read the Terms &amp; Conditions<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/tico.singleentrypoint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/header-terms-and-conditions.jpg\" alt=\"Travel tips read the terms and conditions\" width=\"850\" height=\"170\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before you confirm your travel services online, make sure you read and understand the Terms and Conditions of the travel services being purchased.\u00a0 Usually travel websites will not allow you to continue with the booking process until you acknowledge reading this section and indicate your acceptance of the terms and conditions as outlined.\u00a0 Unfortunately, this tends to be the part of the booking process that most people quickly click through and accept without taking the time to fully understand what they are agreeing to. \u00a0Make sure that you review this information, particularly those that relate to<strong> cancellation, changes to bookings and refundability.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Your Last Opportunity to Catch any Errors<\/h2>\n<p>The final step includes entering your payment information to confirm and purchase the travel services.\u00a0 But before you do, use this last opportunity to review all the information to ensure all the travel services you have selected and the information you have provided is correct.<\/p>\n<h2>Oops I Made a Mistake!

Contacting the airline or online travel agency prior to your departure date will allow them to assist you with rebooking your travel plans. It is possible that there will be a cost to correct the error such as charging you for any difference in the cost of the airfare if the flight fares or vacation packages were higher than those originally booked and possibly a rebooking or service fee to make the booking changes for you. Remember you are subject to the terms and conditions you agreed to during the online booking process.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not review your travel confirmation and miss the departure date you will be considered a &#8220;no show&#8221; based on the terms and conditions of the flight or travel package you have purchased. \u00a0Unfortunately this will result in up to 100% of the travel services purchased being non-refundable.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Book with a TICO Registered Travel Agency<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>To verify if a travel agency or website is TICO registered, check\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/tico.ca\/search%22%20\/t%20%22_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>our online directory<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/tico.ca\/quiz\/%22%20\/t%20%22_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TICO Traveller Quiz<\/strong><\/a>\u202fto see what type of traveller you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sign up to receive quarterly travel consumer protection <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/visitor.r20.constantcontact.com\/manage\/optin?v=001p8NOiSxIZC12oVOmEkGz3mpJax73Yi5s2-_VlwcuwvUYDtJi7HEUhKSbixYTzRTonN5SkQMZqB-b9x1BDdZjnTH2KgUTqnhhgKWfgCKo4vouIG6xNwWzZtP4BVFs0ieDuxrNbX2R9XyTFulZz_ra7A%3D%3D\">email updates<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more travel tips and information, visit the\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/tico.ca\/consumer\/info.html%22%20\/t%20%22_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Smart Traveller Guide<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All travel agencies and websites located and operating in Ontario are regulated by TICO.
