Please call us on 087 587 2835 for assistance.

For more information on changes and cancellations please refer to the Terms & Conditions on the eBucks Travel website.

If you have a confirmed flight booking but then have difficulty checking-in at the airport, this constitutes an emergency.

Last-minute changes to an existing booking do not qualify as an emergency. Please follow the process under "Changes and Cancellations".

Changes can be done on the airline's website directly under each airline's "Manage Booking" section which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for your convenience. Alternatively, you can contact eBucks Travel for assistance during office hours and we could assist with changes at an additional charge.

Here's how it works:

If you have booked all the legs of your journey as 1 ticket and have 1 ticket number (regardless of whether you are flying different airlines on the same ticket):

• Most airlines: If you miss your first leg, you will forfeit all the legs of your journey and you will need to purchase a new ticket.
• Airline exceptions: If you miss your first leg, you will have to pay the date-change penalty to reinstate your ticket and change it to the next available flight (this is at the discretion of the airline).

If you have booked more than 1 individual airline ticket for your journey and have multiple ticket numbers:

• If you miss your flight on ticket number 1, it will not cancel the other tickets booked, so you need to ensure that you advise the other airline(s) of the changes to your first flight to ensure the necessary changes are made to further flights that match your new ticket. You will also have to pay the relevant penalties.

If you have booked all the legs of your journey as 1 ticket and have 1 ticket number (regardless of whether you are flying different airlines on the same ticket):

• The airline for your first leg is responsible for helping you get onto the next available flight, regardless of the airline you are travelling on.

If you have booked more than 1 individual airline ticket for your journey and have multiple ticket numbers:

• The original airline is not responsible for your onward journey and you need to contact the appropriate airlines to make the necessary changes. You will also have to pay the relevant penalties.

All Partner Airline' contact numbers can be found on their respective websites.

For urgent changes, outside of office hours, please follow the relevant process below:

Some countries and airlines require this for international travel so it's best to provide your First names to be safe.
