1. How do I know if my booking is confirmed? Do I need to reconfirm my flight?

When you complete your booking, which will happen after you have submitted your credit card details and pressed the confirm button, you will reach a booking request confirmation page on the website. Your booking is only complete once you reach this confirmation page. You will also be sent a confirmation email shortly afterwards. Both the email and the confirmation page contain the details and price of your order, along with your order number. You should quote this order number if you need to get in touch with us, as it will help us to identify your order. If you do not see the confirmation page or receive the email, your booking may not have been confirmed. Call 01206 711270 immediately.

2. How do I get my e-ticket?

E-ticketing allows for an easier and more convenient way of travelling because the e-ticket confirms your air ticket purchase without the need for a hard-copy record. The airline you're flying with stores all the ticket data on its own computer which means there is no ticket for you to collect and - more importantly - no ticket for you to lose. With an e-ticket, all you need to do is go straight to the check-in desk with your passport or id documents as required for the journey and you'll be issued with your boarding pass.

3. How can I cancel my Ticket / Flight?

We require your cancellation in writing prior to departure, either by email to: admin@coltrav.com or in writing to Administration Department, Colchester Travel, 39 Crouch Street, Colchester, Essex CO3 3EN. Reservations will be cancelled automatically if no payment has been received within 72 hours of the reservation being made or if you have paid a deposit and the balance is not received by the due date. This date will be informed to you at the time you make your booking if you are unsure of this, please check your original paperwork or call us.

7. How can I find out the status of my refund enquiry? Air tickets returned for refund are subject to a minimum cancellation charge of £100 per ticket, irrespective of the number of tickets returned. Tickets are presented to the respective airline or consolidator for assessment. Refunds by airlines or consolidators for part-used tickets are always less than pro-rata and in some cases there may be no refund value whatsoever. Refunds will not be paid to you until they have been received by us, either from the relevant airline or consolidator. This usually takes 8-10 weeks but in some cases (e.g. lost tickets) it may take considerably longer, i.e. up to 9 months.
