By purchasing an airline ticket, the passenger agrees to the terms and conditions of the airlines' contract of carriage, which can be viewed on the airline's website. In all cases, airlines may change flight schedules, aircraft, seat assignments, and alter or omit stopping points en route. Such changes or omissions are at the sole discretion of the airline and are outside the control of Curtis Travel LLC. It is recommended that you reconfirm your flight information and check-in for your flights at the airline's website 24 hours prior to your scheduled departure. Failure to use any portion of your airline reservation may result in automatic cancellation for all continuing and return flights.
In all cases, unless additional time is required by the airline, it is important to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours prior to departure for domestic flights and three hours prior to departure for international flights. Latecomers may lose their assigned seat or be denied boarding at their own expense. Choice of complimentary pre-reserved seat assignments may be limited at the time flight reservations are confirmed, and may not be assignable until check-in. For a fee, airlines may offer additional pre-reserved seat assignments, which may be purchased directly on the airline's website. Seat assignments are at the sole discretion of the airline and are subject to change by the airline without notice. Curtis Travel LLC cannot guarantee seat assignments.
When making an airline reservation, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires the collection of your date of birth, gender and full name as it appears on the government-issued photo identification you'll use when traveling. Failure to provide this information will prohibit a ticket from being issued and may result in the cancellation of airline reservations.
