Flight Questions

Q: What if I miss my flight?

A: If you arrive at the airport late, go directly to the airline's ticket counter. An airline representative will assist you by allowing you to stand by for a later flight. If you are delayed and have not yet arrived at the airport, call the airline directly for assistance.

If you miss your flight and do not contact the airline, the airline will cancel your remaining itinerary.

Q: Can I fly standby?

A: If you booked a Hotwire Limited Rate, the airlines will not allow standby on alternate flights. If you booked our other fare, you can fly standby for an earlier flight -- just check in early with the airline.

Q: What if my flight is cancelled, delayed or overbooked?

A: In the event of a flight disruption on the day of the flight, immediately see an airline representative for instructions. Each airline has its own policies for handling disruptions. The rescheduling of a Hotwire airline ticket will be handled in the same manner as other non-refundable tickets that carry similar restrictions.
