19 Sep How to Get Family Emergency Flights
Emergencies do not knock before coming, and we understand this duly at All Time Tickets. Life is extremely uncertain; circumstances can change within a few minutes.
The uncertainty of emergency situations is duly understood by the aviation industry and is taken care of by certain guidelines by the authorities so that the airlines cannot charge the customer exorbitantly high in the times of emergencies. Most of the times, when it comes to emergency situations, it is the untimely demise of a loved one that one has to book emergency flights.
We understand that in the event of any medical emergency in immediate family, one may need to travel at the last minute. Different airlines have different policy for medical emergency fares that can be either best known by either calling them or through us. For details, you may get in touch with us at +91 99900-41736
We at All Time Ticket soffer additional flexibility on the medical emergency fares for your flight when last minute travel is required for such unwelcomed situations.
