How a phone hold works
A phone hold locks your flight for 24–72 hours, and the agent confirms the exact window before you hang up. Call 1-844-595-2859 and the desk places the hold on the 8 focus carriers, reserving the fare and seats while you confirm dates, approval, or a second traveler. The fare stays quoted at the held amount, so the price you hear is the price you pay when you call back. No charge hits your card until the hold converts to a ticket.
Hold windows across the 8 carriers
Hold windows run 24 to 72 hours depending on the carrier and fare type, and the agent quotes the specific window for your booking. Some fares allow a longer hold, while busy dates run shorter; the desk checks the fare rules before promising a window. If you need more time, the agent explains the options before the original hold lapses — an extension or a second short hold.
What happens when the hold expires
When a hold expires without confirmation, the fare and seats return to live inventory, and the agent gives you the deadline in advance. Call back before the window closes to ticket at the held price, or release the hold yourself with no charge. The agent notes the expiry time on the record and can place a fresh hold if the fare still exists.
Holds for group and multi-city plans
Holds work for groups and multi-city plans too, locking the whole itinerary — every leg and every seat — on one record. The desk holds multi-city routings across the multi-city flight booking by phone desk while you confirm the group. When the hold converts, the agent tickets all segments at the quoted total before any charge.
