Q: What time will my flights depart and arrive?

A: If you booked a Hotwire Limited Rate, we'll tell you your exact flight times after you've booked your reservation. If your trip includes a red-eye flight, we'll indicate that in the details for your search result. In general, red-eye flights depart after 10 p.m. Remember, you'll know your exact flight times once you've booked your reservations.

If you booked our other rate, you will already know your flight's scheduled departure and arrival times because you see them in your search results.

Q: Does my infant need an airline ticket?

A: If your child is less than 24 months of age during the entire length of your trip-i.e. at departure and return, your child can travel free of charge within the U.S. when accompanied by an adult. Federal regulations permit adult passengers to hold an infant in their laps. But if you prefer the use of a car seat during your flight, you need to book a separate airline ticket. The airlines permit only one child to sit on an adult traveler's lap. You need to book an airline seat for each infant exceeding the number of adult travelers in your group.

Hotwire does not offer any discount child fares, because so many of the airfares we offer are already lower than standard discount airline tickets.

Q: What's the minimum number of days I can book for a package deal?

A: If your package includes air travel, you must stay in your destination for a minimum of two nights. However, if you're only booking hotel and car rental reservations, you can stay as little as one night.
