A perfect "peace of mind" in trip planning and flight booking.

Flight Pass allows you to customize any of the parameters to suit all of your unique travel needs. Flight Pass suits the requirements of both leisure/family travel and business travel. The parameters that can be customized are given below:
•	Destinations/Travel Zone - Add one or multiple destinations you want to fly to.
•	Number of flights - Choose 4 or more number of flights. The more flights you add, the cheaper it gets. A round-trip booking for one passenger requires 2 flights (or flight credits).
•	Travel Period - The eligible period for flight departure. Anywhere from 1 month to 1 year (or sometimes 2 years). Shorter the travel period, lower the price.
•	Cabin class - All cabins offered on the airline (typically Economy and Business).
•	Passengers - Number of maximum passenger names that can be added to the Flight Pass to book and fly. Number of passenger names can be one or more depending upon the number of flights in the pass. The fewer the passenger names, the lower the price.
•	Advance booking - Minimum days before travel when you must book your flight. It can be between 1 hour to 1 year before departure. The earlier the advance booking, the cheaper the price. So, a 180 days limit is cheaper than a 1 day limit.
There are some additional customization features available for some routes. The price of the Flight Pass depends upon the pass features you select. So, it's in your hands to create your desired Flight Pass and earn maximum travel savings! The range and type of parameters may vary based on airline and destinations.

To get the lowest price, customize your Flight Pass as suggested below:
•	Maximize the number of flights - The more flights you add to your Flight Pass, the cheaper it gets. Try to combine your needs with your friends, family or colleagues and buy a Flight Pass jointly with higher number of flights and share with each other.
•	Choose earliest advance booking - The earlier you book, the cheaper the fare. Pick the earliest advance booking as per your requirement to minimize your flight fare.
•	Travel Zone - Pick only those destinations where you want to travel.
•	Minimize your Travel Period - The shorter the travel period, the cheaper the price, so pick the shortest travel period validity that you can for all your future trips.
•	Minimize the number of Passengers - The fewer the number of passengers, the cheaper the price.
•	Tax Payment Option - If this option is offered, then pick the "Tax not included" option to get the cheaper price, and then you can pay for taxes and fees later at the time of booking.
•	Additional options - If there are additional features (such as extra bags, preferred seats, upgrades etc.) offered for the route, then pick those options that offer the most travel savings.

•	Flight Pass allows you to add multiple Passengers to your Flight Pass. Each of the included passenger can book flight and fly. The fewer the number of passengers, the lower the price.
•	You can add your family, friends, colleagues or other acquaintances subject to maximum number of passenger limit.
•	In general, you may add between 1 and 400 passengers to your Flight Pass depending upon routes and number of flights in your Flight Pass. The maximum number of passenger limit varies across routes. The number of passengers is also proportional to the number of flights in your Flight Pass. So, more the number of flights, more thee number of passengers you can add.
•	Deadline to add passenger names - The first name must be added at the time of pass purchase. The remaining names can be added later before the flight is booked until you have reached the maximum number of passengers chosen. Sometimes, there is a limitation to add all remaining passenger names within a defined time limit after the pass purchase and if such a restriction applies, it would be specified at the time of pass purchase.
•	Any one or more can fly - Each adult passenger can travel alone or along with one or more of the other enlisted passengers on any trip. For infants, you will need to purchase a separate ticket at the time of flight booking. You have full flexibility in terms of flight distribution among the added passenger names. There are no restrictions on maximum or minimum number of bookings for each enlisted passenger name.
•	Adding passenger details and identification document - The following details are required for each passenger: name, email, gender, date of birth, phone number, and sometimes even an identification document like a passport or driver's license or national ID card etc. If a child (below 18 years) does not have a valid identification proof, then the identification document for the parent/guardian may be provided. The number of passengers offered may vary across routes.
•	Increasing your passenger count after the pass purchase - In some cases, depending upon the rules, Flight Pass may also allow you to increase the maximum number of passengers by paying a nominal fee. If it's applicable for your Flight Pass, you can do so in the Manage My Pass section online.
•	Replace Passenger Names after addition - In some cases, Flight Pass rules may allow you to also replace an enlisted passenger name with a new name by paying a nominal fee. If it's applicable for your Flight Fass, you can do so in the Manage My Pass section online.
•	Unaccompanied minors are normally not allowed.
•	Flight Pass features may vary by route and will be governed by the conditions of the purchased Flight Pass.

Flight Pass offers all the standard amenities and facilities as typically included with the airline service, and the list of included services is clearly mentioned in the Flight Pass rules that you can review before purchase.

Travel Zone defines the set of routes (origin city and destinations city pairs) included in your Flight Pass. You can select any number of routes you want to travel to. You can either select a pre-configured Travel Zone that contains all of your desired destinations. Or you could create a custom Travel zone by adding origin and destination that you want. A travel zone may be for a few cities or even several countries or even all the routes in a given continent. It can also be a Global Travel Zone covering all worldwide network of that airline. Typically, a travel zone allows travel on all airline operated flights both ways (to and from). However, some time, a travel zone may have restriction to start travel from a given city only.
•	You can select more destinations to keep more flexibility in your travel plans. However, to save more, you should try to select only your required destinations.
•	Some Travel Zones may allow you to book one-way tickets, while others may allow you to book round trip only.
•	Some Travel Zones may allow you to book ONLY travel originating from one city to another (and not allow the reverse direction). This is normally done to offer more savings to travelers, as sometimes prices of one direction flights are much cheaper than the reverse direction.
*Flight Pass features, change rules and fees may vary across routes.

This refers to the total number of passengers who can book and fly using Flight Pass. The fewer passengers you add to your Flight Pass, the more savings you enjoy.

Number of Flights or Flights (in short) refers to the total number of flights that can be booked with your Flight Pass by all enlisted passengers. Two flights are needed for one passenger to fly a round-trip between two selected destinations. One flight is needed for one passenger to fly a one-way flight between two selected destinations. The more flights you buy, the cheaper is the cost per flight. For example, cost per flight is cheaper for a Flight Pass with 20 flights than with 10 flights.

Travel Period or "Travel period validity" defines the time period during which you can travel by using your Flight Pass. You can book flights departing during your Travel Period.

Advance booking (limit) refers to the minimum number of days prior to departure when the flight must be booked using Flight Pass. Advance Booking can be anywhere from 4 hours prior to up to 180 days before departure. You can customize the advance booking as per your travel needs.
•	Example, a 1 day Advance Booking means you must book your flight at least 1 day before intended flight departure.
•	Earlier the limit, the cheaper the price. So, a 180 day limit is cheaper than a 1 day limit.
•	You may select your Advance Booking limit based on how early or late you wish to make your flight booking. For instance, if you normally book your flights 7 days before travel, then choose the "7 day" Advance Booking.
•	However, if you can book early, then we suggest you choose the earliest possible Advance Booking limit for you to earn maximum savings. You may choose the 30 day, 90 day or even 180 Day Advance Booking limit to get more savings.
Example
•	Mary purchased a Flight Pass
•	Her Advance Booking limit - 7 Days before travel
