  • Airline fare updates or inventory changes

In such cases:

  • A booking or ticket shall be considered confirmed only after successful issuance of the ticket and generation of a valid PNR/ticket number.
  • If the original fare is no longer available, the User will be informed of the revised fare, and any additional payment required must be borne by the User.
  • If the User chooses not to proceed with the revised fare, the transaction will be treated as a failed booking, and a refund will be initiated for the amount received, subject to payment channel processing timelines.

Firsttrip does not control banking systems, payment gateways, or settlement timelines. Accordingly:

  • Any delay in fund reversal, refund processing, or temporary debit/hold of funds is subject to the policies and processing timelines of the respective bank, payment provider, or MFS operator.
  • Firsttrip shall not be liable for delays caused by such external financial institutions once the refund has been initiated from its end.

Users are advised that in some cases, banks or payment providers may temporarily hold funds before reversing them, and such timelines may vary.

  • Valid Bank Account

Customers must use a valid bank account with an active Net Banking facility. Customers are responsible for ensuring that their account has sufficient funds to complete the transaction.

If the fare or availability changes before confirmation, Firsttrip may contact the customer regarding the updated fare or available flight options.

Customers should avoid refreshing the page, closing the payment window, or making another payment while the transaction is being processed.

  • Payment Debited but Booking Not Confirmed

  • Failed or Pending Transactions

If a transaction shows as failed, pending, or unsuccessful, customers should wait for the transaction status to be verified before making another payment.
Any amount deducted from the customer's account for an unsuccessful transaction will be handled according to the applicable bank/payment gateway procedures and Firsttrip's refund policy.

SECTION C – HOTEL TERMS
24. Hotel Bookings and Firsttrip's Role

Firsttrip facilitates hotel reservations through its Platform by connecting Users with independent hotels, accommodation providers, wholesalers, destination management companies and other authorized suppliers (collectively, "Hotel Providers"). Unless expressly stated otherwise, Firsttrip acts solely as a booking intermediary and technology platform.

The accommodation contract is entered into directly between the User and the relevant Hotel Provider. Firsttrip does not own, operate, manage or control any accommodation listed on the Platform and is not responsible for the operation, quality, safety, legality or performance of any property.

Hotel descriptions, rates, availability, photographs, facilities, policies, ratings and other accommodation information are supplied by Hotel Providers or their authorized suppliers. Although Firsttrip uses reasonable efforts to present accurate information, such content may change without notice and is not independently verified by Firsttrip.

25. Booking Confirmation

Hotel availability and pricing remain subject to confirmation until a Booking has been accepted by the Hotel Provider and a valid booking confirmation or voucher has been issued by Firsttrip.

Payment authorization or successful payment alone does not create a confirmed reservation.

Where a Booking cannot be confirmed because of inventory changes, supplier restrictions, pricing revisions, technical issues or other circumstances outside Firsttrip's reasonable control, Firsttrip may offer an available alternative, request payment of any applicable price difference, or process any refund due under these Terms.

26. Pricing and Charges

Unless expressly stated otherwise, displayed rates apply only to the accommodation and inclusions identified during the booking process.

The User remains responsible for all charges not expressly included in the Booking price, including security deposits, tourism or city taxes, resort fees, parking, meals, minibar, laundry, transportation, optional services and any other charges imposed directly by the Hotel Provider.

Where taxes, exchange rates, supplier charges or mandatory governmental fees increase before confirmation, Firsttrip may revise the total payable amount accordingly. If the User declines the revised price, the Booking may be cancelled and any applicable refund processed in accordance with these Terms.

27. User Responsibilities

The User must ensure that all Booking information, including guest names, occupancy, travel dates, contact details and any required documentation, is accurate when the reservation is made.

Before completing a Booking, the User should carefully review the room type, inclusions, cancellation conditions, occupancy limits, child policy, check-in requirements and any additional charges applicable to the selected property.

The User is responsible for complying with applicable laws and the Hotel Provider's reasonable policies during the stay and remains liable for any loss, damage, penalties or additional costs resulting from the conduct of the User or accompanying guests.

28. Check-in, Occupancy and Hotel Policies

Check-in and check-out times, occupancy limits, child policies, extra beds, additional guest charges and all operational requirements are determined solely by the relevant Hotel Provider.

Early check-in, late check-out, room upgrades, adjoining rooms and other special requests are not guaranteed unless expressly confirmed by the Hotel Provider and may be subject to additional charges.

The User is responsible for carrying all documents required for check-in, including valid identification, passports, visas or other documentation required by applicable law or the Hotel Provider. Failure to satisfy check-in requirements may result in refusal of accommodation without liability on the part of Firsttrip.

29. Changes, Cancellations and No-Shows

Cancellation, amendment, refund, no-show and early departure policies are determined by the booked room rate and the applicable Hotel Provider.

Where modifications are permitted, requests must be submitted through Firsttrip. While Firsttrip will reasonably assist in facilitating such requests, it cannot waive or override supplier policies.

Any additional supplier charges, taxes, administrative costs or price differences resulting from an amendment shall be borne by the User.

Refund eligibility, if any, shall be determined in accordance with the applicable booking conditions and processed under Firsttrip's Payment, Pricing and Refund Policy.

30. Overbooking and Operational Changes

Accommodation inventory is controlled exclusively by Hotel Providers. In exceptional circumstances, including overbooking, property closures, maintenance, operational disruptions or supplier system errors, a confirmed reservation may be affected.

Where reasonably practicable, Firsttrip will assist the User by facilitating communication with the Hotel Provider, arranging comparable alternative accommodation where available, or processing any refund permitted under the applicable supplier policy.

Alternative accommodation may differ in location, room category or facilities and shall not, by itself, constitute a breach of these Terms.

31. Relationship with Hotel Providers

Each Hotel Provider maintains its own operational policies, including house rules, payment requirements, cancellation conditions and service standards. By completing a Booking, the User agrees to comply with both these Terms and the applicable Hotel Provider's policies.

Where any inconsistency arises, the Hotel Provider's policies shall govern accommodation-specific operational matters, while these Terms govern the contractual relationship between the User and Firsttrip.

SECTION D – TOUR TERMS
32. Tour Services and Firsttrip's Role

Firsttrip may facilitate bookings for tours, holiday packages, sightseeing activities, excursions, attractions, cruises, transfers and other travel experiences ("Tour Services") offered by independent tour operators, destination management companies and other authorized suppliers (collectively, "Tour Providers"). Unless expressly stated otherwise, Firsttrip acts solely as a technology platform and booking intermediary.

The contract for the Tour Service is concluded directly between the User and the applicable Tour Provider. Firsttrip does not own, organize, operate, supervise or control any Tour Service and is not responsible for its operation, quality, safety, legality, availability or performance.

Descriptions, itineraries, schedules, accommodation, transportation, photographs, inclusions, exclusions, availability and pricing are supplied by the relevant Tour Provider or its authorized supplier. While Firsttrip exercises reasonable care in presenting such information, it does not independently verify or guarantee its accuracy or continued availability.

33. Booking Confirmation and Pricing

A Tour Booking is confirmed only after successful payment (where applicable), acceptance by the Tour Provider and issuance of a valid Confirmation by Firsttrip. Payment alone does not guarantee availability.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Booking price includes only those services specifically identified in the confirmed itinerary. Any service, activity or expense not expressly stated as included shall be deemed excluded and shall remain the User's responsibility.

If availability, pricing or operational requirements change before Confirmation, Firsttrip may offer an alternative itinerary, revised travel date, updated pricing or any other commercially reasonable alternative. Where the User declines the available option, any refund shall be governed by the applicable supplier policy and these Terms.

34. Tour Operations

Tour itineraries may reasonably change before or during travel where required for operational, legal or safety reasons, including supplier availability, weather conditions, transportation disruptions, local regulations or other circumstances beyond the Tour Provider's reasonable control.

Reasonable substitutions of accommodation, transportation, sightseeing locations, attractions or similar services of a comparable standard shall not constitute a breach of these Terms.

Operational decisions relating to scheduling, routing, safety, participation or service delivery remain the responsibility of the relevant Tour Provider.

35. User Responsibilities

The User is responsible for ensuring that all traveller information is complete and accurate and that all required passports, visas, permits, health documents and other travel documentation are obtained before departure unless expressly included within the booked Tour Service.

Before confirming a Booking, the User should carefully review the itinerary, physical activity requirements, accommodation, inclusions, exclusions, cancellation policy, eligibility criteria and any special conditions applicable to the selected Tour.

During the Tour, the User must comply with applicable laws and the reasonable instructions of the Tour Provider, guides and local authorities. A Tour Provider may refuse participation or remove a participant whose conduct is unlawful, unsafe, abusive or materially disruptive. Any resulting costs, including accommodation, transportation or repatriation expenses, shall be borne by the User.

36. Health, Safety and Participation

Certain Tour Services involve inherent risks or require a reasonable level of physical fitness. The User is responsible for determining whether a Tour is suitable for their health, experience and personal circumstances and for satisfying any participation requirements specified by the Tour Provider.

Where special assistance is required due to a medical condition, disability, pregnancy, dietary requirement or mobility limitation, the User should notify Firsttrip at the time of Booking. While Firsttrip will use reasonable efforts to communicate such requests, neither Firsttrip nor the Tour Provider guarantees that all requests can be accommodated.

Participation in Tour activities is undertaken at the User's own risk except to the extent that applicable law provides otherwise.

37. Changes, Cancellations and Refunds

Tour amendments, cancellations, rescheduling requests and refunds are governed by the applicable Tour Provider's booking conditions unless expressly stated otherwise.

Where permitted, requests must be submitted through Firsttrip. Firsttrip may facilitate communication with the Tour Provider but cannot amend or override supplier policies.

Any additional supplier charges, taxes, administrative costs or fare differences arising from a requested modification shall be borne by the User. Approved refunds shall be processed in accordance with the applicable supplier policy and Firsttrip's Payment, Pricing and Refund Policy.

38. Relationship with Tour Providers

By completing a Tour Booking, the User acknowledges that the applicable Tour Provider's operational terms form part of the Booking.

Where any inconsistency exists between these Terms and the Tour Provider's operational policies, the Tour Provider's policies shall govern the delivery of the Tour Service, while these Terms govern the contractual relationship between the User and Firsttrip.

SECTION E – VISA TERMS
39. Visa Services and Firsttrip's Role

Firsttrip may facilitate visa-related administrative services for eligible destinations through independent visa processing partners, visa application centres, embassies, consulates or other authorized service providers (collectively, "Visa Providers").

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Firsttrip acts solely as an administrative facilitator and technology platform. Firsttrip is not a government authority and has no authority to grant visas, determine immigration eligibility, influence visa decisions or guarantee entry into any country.

All decisions relating to visa issuance, refusal, cancellation, validity, processing priority, duration, permitted entries and admission into a destination remain exclusively within the discretion of the relevant government authority.

40. Scope of Services

The scope of each Visa Service is limited to the services expressly included in the applicable Booking Confirmation.

Depending on the selected service, Firsttrip may assist with document checklists, application preparation, appointment scheduling, submission coordination, status updates, passport collection, courier coordination and other administrative support.

Any service not expressly included shall be deemed excluded.

Where Visa Services are performed through independent Visa Providers, their operational procedures, documentation requirements and processing rules shall also apply.

41. Fees and Processing

The total price may include government fees, embassy or consular charges, visa application centre fees, biometric charges, courier charges, taxes and Firsttrip's administrative service fees.

Government authorities may amend fees, documentation requirements or application procedures without notice. Where such changes occur before submission, Firsttrip may request any additional payment or documentation reasonably required to complete the application. If the User elects not to proceed, cancellation and refund rights shall be determined in accordance with these Terms.

Any published processing time is an estimate only and does not constitute a guarantee.

42. User Responsibilities

The User is solely responsible for ensuring that all information, declarations, passports and supporting documents submitted for a Visa Service are complete, accurate, authentic and current.

The User must carefully review all application forms before authorizing submission. Once approved by the User, Firsttrip may rely upon those instructions and shall not be responsible for errors, omissions or inaccuracies approved by the User.

The User is also responsible for ensuring that their passport satisfies all applicable immigration requirements, including validity, condition and minimum blank page requirements.

43. Government Requirements

Embassies, consulates and immigration authorities may require interviews, biometric enrolment, medical examinations, security screening or additional supporting documentation at any stage of the application process.

The User is responsible for attending all required appointments, complying with applicable instructions and providing any additional information requested within the prescribed time.

While Firsttrip will use reasonable efforts to communicate requests received from the relevant authority, responsibility for timely compliance remains with the User.

44. Visa Decisions

Visa approval, refusal, cancellation, validity, processing times, permitted entries and admission into any destination are determined exclusively by the relevant government authority.

Submission of a complete application, payment of applicable fees or assistance provided by Firsttrip does not guarantee visa approval or entry into any country.

Firsttrip cannot review, influence, expedite or appeal any immigration decision.

45. Changes, Cancellations and Refunds

Government requirements, documentation standards, fees and processing procedures may change without prior notice.

Cancellation and refund rights depend upon the stage of processing and the policies of the relevant government authority or Visa Provider.

Unless required by applicable law, government charges, embassy fees, visa application centre fees, biometric fees, courier charges and other statutory charges are generally non-refundable once processing has commenced. Firsttrip's administrative fees may also become non-refundable after work has begun.

A visa refusal, processing delay or request for additional documents shall not, by itself, create any entitlement to compensation or refund.

46. Data Processing

To provide Visa Services, Firsttrip may collect, process, store and disclose personal information and supporting documents in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Information may be shared with Visa Providers, embassies, immigration authorities, courier providers, payment service providers and technology partners where reasonably necessary to perform the requested service or comply with legal obligations.

47. Relationship with Government Authorities and Visa Providers

By requesting a Visa Service, the User acknowledges that Firsttrip's role is limited to administrative facilitation and that compliance with all immigration laws and documentary requirements remains the User's responsibility.

Where any inconsistency exists between these Terms and the operational requirements of a government authority or Visa Provider, the requirements of the relevant authority shall prevail in relation to visa processing, while these Terms govern the relationship between the User and Firsttrip.

SECTION F – ADD-ON SERVICES
48. Add-on Services

Firsttrip may offer optional travel-related products and services ("Add-on Services") either independently or together with a Booking. These may include travel eSIMs, airport lounge access, airport assistance, airport transfers, baggage or refund protection, travel protection products, health coverage, flight notifications, weather alerts and other ancillary travel services made available through the Platform.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Add-on Services are optional, are not included within the price of the principal travel service and remain subject to availability.

Where an Add-on Service is provided by an independent third-party supplier ("Add-on Provider"), Firsttrip acts solely as a technology platform and booking intermediary. The contract for the Add-on Service is concluded directly between the User and the relevant Add-on Provider.

49. Provider Terms and User Responsibilities

Each Add-on Service is subject to the applicable Add-on Provider's eligibility requirements, operational rules, exclusions, limitations and refund policy.

The User is responsible for reviewing the applicable service conditions before purchase and for ensuring that the selected Add-on Service is suitable for the intended travel.

Where an Add-on Service requires specific technical compatibility, eligibility criteria or supporting documentation, the User is responsible for satisfying those requirements. Firsttrip may assist in facilitating communication with the relevant Add-on Provider but cannot amend or override the provider's policies or operational decisions.

50. Service Availability, Changes and Refunds

Availability, pricing, features and coverage of Add-on Services may change without notice due to supplier, regulatory or operational requirements.

Cancellation, modification and refund rights are determined by the applicable Add-on Provider unless Firsttrip expressly states otherwise. Certain Add-on Services may become wholly or partially non-refundable once activated, issued, registered or otherwise made available for use.

Approved refunds shall be processed in accordance with the applicable provider's policy and Firsttrip's Payment, Pricing and Refund Policy.

SECTION G – PAYMENT, PRICING & REFUND POLICY
51. Payment and Booking Confirmation

Unless expressly stated otherwise, full payment must be successfully received before Firsttrip can request supplier confirmation or issue any ticket, voucher, Confirmation, eSIM or other travel document.

Submission of payment details or receipt of payment alone does not create a confirmed Booking. A Booking is confirmed only after payment has been successfully received and verified (where required), accepted by the applicable Supplier and a valid Confirmation has been issued by Firsttrip.

Where instalment, deferred or partial payment arrangements are expressly offered, the User must comply with the applicable payment schedule. Failure to pay any outstanding amount when due may result in suspension or cancellation of the Booking.

52. Pricing

All prices displayed on the Platform are supplied by the applicable Supplier and remain subject to availability until Confirmation.

Displayed prices may include taxes, supplier charges, service fees and other amounts disclosed during the booking process. Currency conversion rates, payment network charges, bank fees and similar third-party charges are determined independently of Firsttrip and remain the User's responsibility.

Where taxes, exchange rates, supplier charges or mandatory governmental fees change before Confirmation, Firsttrip may revise the total amount payable accordingly. If the User elects not to proceed, the Booking may be cancelled and any applicable refund processed under these Terms.

53. Payment Verification

To protect Users, Suppliers and the Platform, Firsttrip may verify any payment or Booking before Confirmation.

Verification may include identity checks, payment authentication, fraud screening, communication with payment providers and any other reasonable measures required to comply with applicable law, payment network rules or internal risk management procedures.

Where Firsttrip reasonably suspects fraud, unauthorized payment, unlawful activity or material financial risk, it may decline, suspend or cancel the affected transaction to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Payments made through any channel not expressly authorized by Firsttrip are made entirely at the User's risk.

54. Pricing Errors

Although Firsttrip uses reasonable efforts to maintain accurate pricing, genuine pricing, inventory or technical errors may occur.

Where such an error is identified before fulfilment of a Booking, Firsttrip may correct the error, notify the User of the revised terms, offer the User the opportunity to proceed under the corrected conditions or cancel the affected Booking and refund any amount successfully received.

Firsttrip shall not be required to honour a manifest or obvious pricing error that a reasonable person would recognize as incorrect.

55. Failed or Outstanding Payments

A Booking will not be confirmed unless payment has been successfully completed.

Where a payment remains pending, fails, is reversed or is only partially completed because of banking delays, payment gateway interruptions, insufficient funds, fraud prevention measures or other circumstances outside Firsttrip's reasonable control, Firsttrip may suspend processing of the Booking until payment has been successfully received.

The User remains responsible for any outstanding balance arising from supplier price revisions, payment reversals, statutory charges or any other amount lawfully payable under these Terms.

56. Promotions and Travel Credits

Promotional offers, discount codes, referral programmes, travel credits, cashback offers and loyalty benefits are governed by their individual promotional terms.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, promotional benefits:

  • are non-transferable;
  • cannot be exchanged for cash;
  • cannot be combined with other promotions; and
  • may be withdrawn, amended or cancelled at any time in accordance with their applicable terms.

Where a Booking purchased using a promotion is cancelled, any refund shall be calculated based on the amount actually paid by the User after application of the relevant promotional benefit.

Firsttrip reserves the right to suspend or recover promotional benefits where it reasonably believes they have been obtained through fraud, abuse or misuse.

57. Refunds

Refund eligibility is determined by these Terms together with the applicable Supplier's cancellation and refund policy.

Where a refund is approved, it will ordinarily be returned using the original payment method unless otherwise required by law or agreed by Firsttrip.

Refund processing times depend upon Supplier approval, payment service providers, banking systems and applicable regulatory requirements. Currency fluctuations, bank charges, card issuer fees and similar third-party deductions occurring after the original transaction remain the User's responsibility unless otherwise required by applicable law.

58. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Users are encouraged to contact Firsttrip before initiating any payment dispute or chargeback.

Where a chargeback is initiated in respect of a validly confirmed or utilized Booking, Firsttrip may, to the extent permitted by law, contest the chargeback, suspend pending Bookings, recover lawfully outstanding amounts or take any other reasonable steps necessary to protect its contractual and legal rights.

59. Application of this Policy

This Section applies to all payments made through the Platform unless a product-specific payment arrangement expressly provides otherwise.

Where any inconsistency exists between this Section and a mandatory product-specific payment provision, the product-specific provision shall prevail only to the extent of that inconsistency.
