This Post-Booking & Post-Ticketing Service Fee Policy explains professional service fees that may apply when Flight Fare Booking Inc., operating as Classic Fares (“Classic Fares,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), provides requested assistance after a flight ticket, car rental reservation, cruise reservation or other eligible travel service has been booked or confirmed.
Classic Fares is an independent travel services platform and travel-services intermediary.
Post-booking and post-ticketing services can require professional work including reservation review, fare-rule research, supplier communication, itinerary research, ticket exchanges, cancellations, refund assistance, waiver requests and other reservation-servicing activities.
All amounts stated in this Policy are in U.S. Dollars (USD).
Classic Fares professional service fees are separate from airline, cruise-line, car-rental-provider, consolidator, supplier or other third-party charges unless expressly stated otherwise.
After a reservation has been completed, a customer may ask Classic Fares to perform additional professional services.

Where the applicable airline or fare permits cancellation in exchange for a future travel credit and Classic Fares provides agent-assisted processing, the following service fees may apply:

For eligible travel consultation:
Call 1-877-658-0203
Before providing a paid consultation service, Classic Fares will disclose the applicable professional-service fee and scope of assistance.
Because third-party reservations can require additional research, professional consultation fees may vary according to:
Where the requested service corresponds to a fee category published in this Policy, the applicable published maximum will apply.
Where a specialized consultation does not reasonably fit a published category:
The exact professional fee must be disclosed to the customer and affirmatively authorized before the paid service begins.
A customer is not required to purchase Classic Fares consultation and may contact the original provider or booking source directly.
A Classic Fares professional service fee compensates Classic Fares for the agreed work.
It does not purchase or guarantee a favorable decision from:

Fee units are important.

A Classic Fares professional service fee compensates us for the requested professional work.
Once the agreed professional service has been substantially performed, the applicable Classic Fares service fee may be non-refundable, subject to:
A supplier's refusal to grant the customer's requested outcome does not by itself mean that professional work already performed by Classic Fares was not provided.
Nothing in this section limits a refund right that cannot legally be waived.
Simply contacting Classic Fares or asking a basic question does not automatically create a paid professional-service charge.
Where a requested activity requires a separately charged professional service:

Classic Fares will not treat an original flight, car rental or cruise purchase authorization as permission to process an unrelated or materially different post-booking professional-service fee.
Separate authorization will be obtained where an additional Classic Fares fee applies.
Where an airline, cruise line, rental provider or other supplier causes a cancellation or material service change, customer rights may differ from those applicable to a voluntary customer-requested change.

The customer may decide whether to proceed.
