Overview
Smart Tour Travel is committed to clear, honest pricing. This Fare Disclosure explains how fares are presented on our platform, what is included, and which additional charges may apply. Our aim is to help customers make informed booking decisions with full visibility of fare components, taxes, and fees.
1. Fare Display & Accuracy
- Fares on Smart Tour Travel come from our airline partners and suppliers via the RateHawk.com system in real time.
- Airfares are dynamic and can change due to availability, airline updates, promotions, or currency movements.
- The fare shown at search time may differ from the final fare displayed at booking.
- We work to keep fares accurate, but final prices are confirmed only after payment and ticket issuance.
2. Fare Components
Fares on our site typically include:
- Base Fare: The airline’s published ticket price.
- Taxes & Surcharges: Government taxes, airport fees, and carrier surcharges.
- Service Fees: A modest administrative fee charged by Smart Tour Travel for booking and processing.
Example: Total Fare = Base Fare + Taxes & Surcharges + Service Fees (if applicable)
3. Additional Charges
The following items may not be included in the displayed fare and are typically collected by the airline:
- Checked baggage or excess baggage fees
- Seat selection, upgrades, or priority boarding
- In-flight meals or other optional services
- Card processing or payment gateway fees (where applicable)
These charges are set and collected by the airline and are outside the control of Smart Tour Travel.
4. Currency & Payment
- Fares are shown in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified.
- Payments in other currencies will be converted by your bank or payment provider at their exchange rate.
- Smart Tour Travel does not profit from currency conversion or foreign transaction fees applied by banks or card issuers.
5. Fare Changes & Availability
- Fares may change without notice until a booking is confirmed and payment succeeds.
- If a price changes during your booking, we will notify you before completing payment.
- After ticket issuance, the fare is final except as allowed by the airline’s fare rules.
6. Promotional & Discounted Fares
Promotional or negotiated fares obtained through RateHawk or airline partners may include special conditions such as:
- Non-refundable or non-changeable restrictions
- Blackout dates or limited validity
- Specific baggage or service requirements
All applicable terms and restrictions will be displayed during checkout.
7. Taxes & Government Fees
Governments, airports, and carriers may revise taxes, fees, or surcharges. If such changes occur after ticket issuance, Smart Tour Travel cannot be held responsible for differences imposed by external authorities.
8. Errors & Corrections
Despite our efforts to ensure accuracy, technical or human errors may occur. In the event of an incorrect fare display, Smart Tour Travel reserves the right to correct or cancel the booking and will notify affected customers promptly before processing payment or issuing tickets.
9. Final Fare Confirmation
The total amount you will be charged appears on the final payment page before you complete your booking. By submitting payment, you confirm you have reviewed and accepted the fare, taxes, fees, and applicable fare rules.
