BOOKING AND BOARDING PASSES

I bought a ticket online but I didn’t receive a confirmation e-mail. What should I do?

To confirm your online ticket purchase you can send an e-mail to our Customer Care.

Once you have completed your online booking and have paid for your ticket by credit card or PayPal, you should receive 2 different messages via e-mail:

1) Email with the reservation data summary (Departure Date, Departure Time, Num. passengers, etc.) and with the attached mail-ticket pdf (customer must print and hand over the pdf at the time of boarding at the ticket counter to pick up the boarding passes).

2) Email with summary of payment information (Amount charged to credit card,transaction code,credit card holder, etc.).
Once you had received these 2 mails you can be sure that booking and payment were successful.


If you have a tablet or Smartphone connected to the internet, you can show the e-ticket directly from your device to the ticket office operator in order to receive your boarding pass.
