Flight Questions

Q: What do I need to have for travel outside the U.S.?

A: Each passenger in the flight itinerary must have the proper documents for entry/re-entry into a country (e.g., correct visa, up-to-date passport). The travel documentation requirements vary, based on the passenger's citizenship and country of residence. To determine the requirements, contact the embassy or consulate of all countries involved in your travel itinerary, including all countries in which you may be transiting. You can also contact your international carrier(s) for further information on travel documentation requirements, embargos, travel advisories and/or additional requirements that may apply to the country or countries in your itinerary.

For U.S. passport requirements, application forms, where to conveniently apply, and other passport and international travel information, visit the U.S. Department of State's Passport Services at http://www.travel.state.gov.

Please make sure you have the correct visa and that your passport is up to date in advance of travel. Since all Hotwire bookings are final, we recommend checking your visa and passport status to ensure they are current/valid prior to booking on our site.

Q: Can I book a flight for someone else who is traveling to the U.S.?

A: You can book a flight for someone else who is traveling into the U.S. if they are originating from Canada or a U.S. territory. Hotwire does not currently offer flights originating from other international locations.
