At Malincho Travel, we help you find the best cheap travel deals possible. To help you in this attempt, we have linked with over 30 different air travel consolidators to bring you an assortment of cheap travel deals. These air travel consolidators all specialize in a particular travel sector. Consolidators in the Malincho Travel network are well established in the industry and generate significant volume for the airlines, thus allowing them to negotiate excellent rates on the same regularly scheduled airlines that consumers typically pay full price for. Consolidator Fares are Fares given directly from major domestic and international airlines to airline wholesalers (consolidators) to sell to travel resellers at reduced rates. Airlines work with consolidators to help fill up unsold airline seat inventory, which may otherwise go empty and generate no revenue for the airline. Fares are often deeply discounted – up to 70% off of the regular published fares.

In the event a fare is not available, you will be brought back to the search results allowing you to select a different fare. However, if a fare is available a set of flight options available will be displayed. Select an outbound flight and an inbound flight and click “Continue” to the next page.

E-Ticket or paper ticket? ELECTRONIC TICKETS Electronic tickets, or e-tickets, are used by an increasing number of top airlines. In simple terms when you choose an e-ticket through Airline Network we will automatically create an electronic record in the airline’s computer system instead of printing a paper ticket. You will then be sent an e-ticket receipt instead of a ticket, which, you will need to check in with at the airport. E-tickets offer several key advantages: More Convenient – You do not have to wait for your tickets to arrive. More Peace of Mind – No need for a paper ticket, eliminating worry of leaving them behind or losing them. More Affordable – There is now a surcharge for paper tickets on routes where an e-ticket is available. PAPER TICKETS Traditional paper based ticket (may incur surcharge) Over 97% of all tickets we sell are e-Tickets. We will only issue you a paper ticket if the airline(s) require it for your particular route, or you request a paper ticket.

How will my tickets be sent to me?

Whenever possible, we will issue electronic tickets, also referred to as e-Tickets, which means we will make your reservation with the airline electronically. E-Tickets are paperless, meaning you will have no printed documents. All you have to do is show up at your airline ticket counter at the airport, with a government issued photo ID and they will access your reservation on their computer and issue a boarding pass. When an e-Ticket is not available, Paper Tickets will be delivered to the billing address listed on your credit card account, via Fed Ex/DHL or UPS. We also will send you a PASSENGER RECEIPT for your records trough regular mail. You will receive it within a week after you ticket has been issued.

When are the tickets issued?

They are normally issued within 2-3 days after the payment has cleared. You will receive an e-mail as soon as your tickets are issued. I cannot tell if my booking has been completed, what can I do to find out? If you are not sure if your booking has been completed, you should first check your inbox for the email account you entered for the reservation. You should check your junk mail folder as well in the event it is not in your inbox. If you do not have any emails conforming whether the reservation was completed or not, you should then give us a call or email us regarding your concern.

How can I find the lowest airfare prices?

The airlines do not release airfare sales at the same time each year. You will need to check the site periodically to view current prices. Here are some tips that usually produce the lowest fares: – Consider flying on Tuesday thru Thursday, both departing and returning. – The airlines will often cut the cost of a ticket significantly if you have a Saturday night stay over. – Round trip tickets on the same airline are usually cheaper than one-way tickets. – Try to book your flights at least 3 weeks in advance. – If your destination is a smaller airport, it may be substantially cheaper to fly to a major airport that is less than 50 – 100 miles away and rent a car or have a friend pick you up.

Will you be able to guarantee a fare for me?

We are unable to guarantee any fare. All fares are subject to change without notice. A quoted fare is only available for a short window of time and can increase without notice. Theses changes in fare quotes are not made by Malincho Travel but instead by the airline(s). Making a booking does not guarantee a fare. A fare is only guaranteed if the booking related to the particular fare has been ticketed.

*What Are Flight Consolidators?

Consolidators are companies that negotiate with airlines to buy up seats that would otherwise not be sold, you can think of them as a type of wholesaler. The tickets they sell are primarily for international flights. Consolidators buy in large volumes, so they can offer their tickets for substantially less than normal published fares. Often consolidator tickets are available for flights that are shown as sold-out through the airlines.
