How do I know which flight to book on TravelBank?

Brex partners with TravelBank to provide customers with great deals on flights. Read below for more details.

Flight pricing

Pricing is very dynamic due to airlines' sophisticated revenue management software–it is constantly adjusted based on:

Fare class
Demand
Time until flight
Availability

On any given flight, even people sitting in the same row are likely to have paid very different prices due to the different class fare prices.

Note: Final pricing is never guaranteed until a ticket is issued.

Flight economy classes

Make sure to note the type of flight class you book and its associated restrictions.

Basic Economy

The cheapest and most restrictive fare you can book with an airline
Still seated in the economy class cabin
Limited flexibility, no carry-on, no elite status accumulation
Mainstream airlines rolled out basic economy fares to compete with LLCs but do not actually want to sell this

Economy

Seat selection at the time of booking, if available
Other options for customizing your travel

Economy (flexible)

Refundable fare, but cancellation and change fees may apply
Seat selection at the time of booking, if available
Enjoy other options for customizing your travel

Flight voids and cancellations

The ticketing process consists of a two-step process:

Holding a seat on the flight
Issuing an actual ticket on the itinerary

For US flights only, airlines must give users at least 24 hours from the time of ticketing to cancel their seat and be fully refunded without penalties.

After 24 hours, the seat can be canceled, but the ticket may still retain some value–depending on the cost of the ticket exchange fee.

Flight ticket exchanges

Fees for ticket exchanges are very complex and vary by airline, fare class, and fare rules:

Generally, domestic airlines usually charge a $150-$200 ticket exchange fee for making changes to a non-refundable airfare after 24 hours.
For international flights, the ticket exchange fee can be up to $400.
Southwest Airlines does not charge a change fee for tickets, which makes it a popular choice among scrappy companies.
The actual cost of a ticket exchange is impossible to predict in advance and is based on two things:
- The ticket exchange fee (which is a fixed fee, written in the fare rules at the time of original ticket purchase).
- The cost of mark up between the old ticket vs the new ticket (which is constantly changing).
