Payment Deducted or Payment Issue?
If your payment was deducted, failed, or is pending, do not make another payment immediately. Share your details and our team will help verify the status.
Do not make another payment for the same booking until your payment status is verified. Duplicate payments are harder to resolve. Contact support first to verify your payment status before attempting again.
Payment Issue Types
Identify which payment situation applies to you.
Payment Failed
Payment was declined or failed during processing. The amount may not have been deducted, or may be temporarily held by the bank.
Payment Pending
Payment is still being processed by the payment gateway or bank. This may resolve automatically within a few minutes to hours.
Amount Deducted, No Ticket
Money was deducted from your account but no ticket or booking confirmation was received. This requires support verification.
Payment OK, Booking Failed
Payment was successful but the booking process failed. The amount may need to be refunded or the booking retried.
Duplicate Payment
You paid twice for the same booking. Support needs to verify both transactions and process a refund for the extra payment.
Bank Deducted, Merchant Pending
Your bank shows the deduction but the payment gateway has not updated yet. This sync delay is common and may resolve automatically.
What To Do & Not Do
Do This
- Note your transaction ID / payment reference
- Check bank SMS or email for deduction details
- Keep payment screenshot ready
- Contact support with booking + payment details
- Wait for payment status verification
Do NOT Do This
- Do not make another payment
- Do not book again for the same flight
- Do not immediately dispute with bank
- Do not share OTP or banking PIN
- Do not assume the amount is lost
Note: In some cases, banks/payment gateways may take time to update the final payment status. If the payment truly failed, the held amount is usually auto-reversed by the bank within 3-7 business days.
