Getting your visa approved is a huge relief—and a major milestone in your travel journey. But what comes next can be just as important: booking your flight. If you’re not careful, a wrong booking can cost you time, money, or even your travel opportunity.
At Digifly, we help travelers avoid costly mistakes by guiding them through smart, flexible, and stress-free flight bookings. Here’s how to do it right.
✈️ 1. Confirm Your Travel Window
Before rushing to book a flight, check:
- Your visa entry validity (when you’re allowed to enter)
- Your visa duration of stay
- The start date of your program, job, or trip
💡 Tip: Don’t book too early or too close to your deadline. Leave room for changes or delays.
🧭 2. Choose the Right Airport and Route
If you’re studying or relocating, choose the closest airport to your final destination. Avoid landing far away just because the ticket is cheaper—it may cost more in local transport and stress.
✔️ Also check:
- Stopover duration (avoid tight layovers)
- Baggage policy
- Airport reviews
💸 3. Don’t Go for the Cheapest—Go for the Smartest
Cheap flights may look tempting, but beware:
- Long layovers in multiple countries
- Non-refundable tickets
- Budget airlines with hidden fees
Instead, choose flexible fares that allow date changes or cancellations for a small fee.
🛡️ 4. Always Book with a Verified Travel Agent or Platform
At Digifly, we help you:
- Compare airline fares
- Book refundable or adjustable tickets
- Receive updates and itinerary support
- Avoid scams or fake websites
📌 Need to reschedule or change dates later? It’s easier and cheaper through a registered agent than booking alone.
📑 5. Match Your Flight to Your Plans
Here’s how:
- Students: Arrive at least a few days before orientation or resumption
- Tourists: Plan around weather seasons and major holidays
- Pilgrims (e.g., Hajj/Umrah): Confirm group travel dates and airport requirements
- Business Travelers: Arrive a day early to rest and adjust to time zones
🧾 6. Ask for a Soft Booking First (Optional)
If you’re not fully ready to pay, ask your agent to reserve a seat (soft booking). This gives you time (usually 24-72 hours) to finalize payment without losing the seat or fare.
✅ 7. Double Check Your Details
Before making payment:
- Is your passport number correct?
- Is your name spelled exactly as on your passport?
- Are your dates and destination correct?
- Do you have enough time for connections?
Once a ticket is paid for, corrections can be costly.
📦 8. Consider Travel Insurance
Flight delays, cancellations, or baggage loss happen. Travel insurance can save you from spending extra during your trip. Ask Digifly to add it to your package.
🧳 9. Know What You’re Paying For
When you book with us, we break down:
- Base fare
- Taxes
- Extra luggage
- Seat selection (if optional)
- Visa and travel insurance (if requested)
No hidden fees.
