Travelgliders.us is committed to transparent and honest fare disclosure in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and industry best practices. This page explains how fares are sourced, presented, and confirmed on our platform.

1. What Is Fare Disclosure?

Fare disclosure means providing you with complete and accurate information about the total cost of your travel, including all base fares, taxes, fees, surcharges, and our service fees, before you complete your purchase. Travelgliders.us believes that informed customers make better travel decisions.

2. How Fares Are Sourced

As an independent travel agency, Travelgliders.us accesses airfares through the following channels:

• Global Distribution Systems (GDS) such as Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport.
• Airline consolidator contracts that allow us to offer negotiated or net fares.
• Travel wholesaler agreements that may provide access to exclusive inventory.
• Published fares sourced from airline tariff filings.

Travelgliders.us is not affiliated with any airline and does not have access to airline employee rates, frequent flyer award inventory, or direct airline-exclusive promotions.

3. Fare Presentation

All fares displayed on Travelgliders.us reflect the total price you will pay, including:

4. Fare Conditions and Rules

Every fare booked through Travelgliders.us is subject to fare rules set by the operating airline. These rules govern:

• Refundability: Whether the ticket can be refunded and any associated penalties.
• Change Fees: Costs associated with modifying dates, times, or routes.
• Advance Purchase Requirements: Minimum booking lead time required for the fare.
• Minimum/Maximum Stay: Restrictions on length of stay at the destination.
• Routing Rules: Restrictions on connecting points and stopovers.
• Ticketing Deadline: Deadline by which the ticket must be issued.

Travelgliders.us will present applicable fare rules during the booking process. It is your responsibility to review and understand these conditions before completing your purchase.

5. Fare Validity

Fares are dynamic and subject to change until a ticket is issued. The fare quoted at the time of search is not guaranteed until full payment is received and the ticket is confirmed. Fare increases between search and ticketing may occur due to demand, seat availability, or airline pricing adjustments. If a fare increases before ticketing, you will be notified and offered the option to accept the new price or cancel for a full refund.

6. Currency and Payment

All fares on Travelgliders.us are displayed and charged in US Dollars (USD) unless a different currency option is expressly provided. International credit card transactions may be subject to foreign transaction fees by your card issuer. Travelgliders.us is not responsible for currency conversion charges imposed by your bank.

7. Codeshare and Operated-By Flights

Some flights sold through Travelgliders.us may be codeshare flights, where a ticket is sold under one airline's flight number but operated by a different carrier. Full details of the marketing and operating carrier will be disclosed in your itinerary. Travelgliders.us is not the operating carrier and is not responsible for the operation of any flight.

8. Baggage Fees Disclosure

Baggage fees are typically NOT included in the base airfare and are charged separately by the airline at check-in or during booking. Travelgliders.us will display airline baggage policies where available, but baggage fees are subject to change by airlines without notice. Always check the operating airline's official baggage policy before travel.

9. DOT Compliance

Travelgliders.us complies with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations for full fare advertising, including the requirement to display total prices inclusive of taxes and fees in all fare quotes. Consumers have the right to hold a reservation for 24 hours without payment (or cancel within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund) on domestic flights and certain international itineraries originating in the United States.
