No, Yahoo! Travel Search is not a travel agency, it is a travel search engine. If you wish to make a phone reservation, you may do so by selecting any of the search results and using the reservation systems offered by the individual travel provider.

Yahoo! Travel Search will help you search for flights and hotels worldwide, however you'll find our airfares are most competitive if your flight originates from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand or Australia. We plan to expand Yahoo! Travel Search into other markets in South East Asia shortly.

We're not exactly sure but we think it's more than 500 now. We aim to include them all.

Not yet but this is something we're working on.

Not yet.

Yes. Just select the "One-way" radio button on the flight search form.

For flight searches, FareChase supports searches for up to 9 travellers. For hotel searches, FareChase also supports searches for up to 9 hotel rooms. If this does not meet your requirments, we suggest that you contact your preferred travel provider by phone since, in general, most travel providers require a phone reservation for large group bookings.

Yahoo! Travel Search does not allow searches for air tickets for unaccompanied minors (children traveling on their own). Most airlines require that reservations for unaccompanied minors be completed via the phone. Please contact your preferred travel provider by phone to book a ticket for an unaccompanied minor.

An infant is defined as under 2 years old. A search which includes infants assumes that the infant will be on the lap of the accompanying adult(s). This means that there will not be a seat reserved for the infant. Generally, airlines do not charge for infants on lap. The average price displayed in the search results will apply to the adults and children in the search and will not apply to the infant. However, when you are transferred by FareChase to the travel provider to finalize your booking, the information for the infant is also transferred and will be reflected on your confirmation page of the travel provider. If you would like to reserve a seat for your infant we suggest that you contact the airline directly.

A children's ticket is generally for those aged 2-11 although this does vary by airline. If in doubt, we suggest that you contact the airline directly for the fare rules for children's tickets.

Yahoo! Travel Search remembers the five most recent searches you've performed on FareChase and stores them for your convenience. IYour recent searches are stored on a cookie on your computer.

Just type the first few letters of the name of the city you want to fly to and we'll present you with a short list of possible locations. Select the correct city or keep typing if you need to shorten the list of possible locations.

Yahoo! Travel Search conducts searches in real-time. Because airfares and flight availability change throughout the day, it is possible that the fare you originally found is no longer available.

There may be no flights that match all your search criteria. Click the "Modify Your Search" link on the upper left of your screen to modify your search criteria. Try selecting different dates or nearby airports. Airlines sometimes release inventory closer to the day of departure so it might be worth trying your search again at another time.

Yahoo! relies on several third party aggregators of hotel information including Star Ratings. They in turn are normally assigned by the hotel association or automobile club (eg. AA) for the country in question.

We calculate popularity of a hotel based on what users are looking at, rating, and talking about across the entire Web so our popularity rankings are as unbiased, accurate and up-to-date as possible.

We are continuously updating our popularity rankings, so you'll always see the latest and greatest places.

Try manipulating the sliders and filters in the "Refine Your Search" module down the left hand side of the page. As you indicate your preferences the results on the page will be filtered automatically. Keep adding new filters until you have a manageable list of results to view.

Yahoo! Travel Search is designed to display the same price providers show you when you search directly on their site. In general, but not always, the airfares displayed on Yahoo! Travel Search exclude fuel & insurance surcharges, airport, network & security taxes and booking fees. Where a website includes these we endeavour to flag this in the results display so you know what you are comparing.

In general, the hotel rates displayed on Yahoo! Travel Search do not include taxes and fees. Please select a particular fare or rate to view the travel provider's website for information about applicable taxes and fees. Yahoo! Travel Search is not responsible for, nor can it warrant the accuracy of, the travel provider's website displays.

Yes. You may choose a currency from the drop down list in the "Refine Your Search" module. Currency rates are updated throughout the day and are supplied by Yahoo! Finance.

The sliders, checkboxes under "Refine Results" are used for filtering the results displayed on your screen. Initially, all checkboxes are selected and all results are displayed on the right-hand side. By unchecking a criteria you will remove all results that meet that criteria. For example, if you would like to show only direct flights, you can uncheck "1-stop" and "2+ stops" and the results on the right-hand side will update automatically.

Please contact the customer service department of your travel provider. For example, if you purchased a flight from the JetStar Asia website, please contact JetStar Asia customer service using the contact information provided on the JetStar Asia website or on materials JetStar Asia may have provided to you upon purchase of your flight. The provider you booked with probably sent you an email confirmation that will contain your bookings details and contact details for the company concerned.

Please contact the customer service department of your travel provider. They should be able to tell you if a booking was already made in your name. For example, if you were in the process of booking a flight ticket on JetStarAsia.com, please contact the JetStar Asia customer service department to verify the status of your transaction.

The customer service department of your travel provider should contact you with an email confirmation or by any alternate method you selected while making your purchase. If you have not received a confirmation, please contact the customer service department of your travel provider.

The terms and conditions of your ticket or hotel booking should be described on your travel provider's web site. Once you have selected an itinerary or hotel room from the FareChase search results, you will be taken to the provider's web site, where you can view the available terms and conditions of your itinerary before purchasing your ticket. If you have any questions, please contact your travel provider.

Each travel provider may have different rules for putting a fare on hold prior to purchase. If you wish to place a ticket on hold, view the terms and conditions stated on the website of the travel provider you have selected, or contact that travel provider's customer service department.

No, Yahoo! Travel Search does not track the status of issued tickets and will not notify you of any changes. Please view the terms and conditions of your travel provider's web site or contact your travel provider's customer service department for their notification policy.
