Your agent will confirm the exact fare, fare rules, and any exchange or refund restrictions before your booking is completed.

Some airlines may apply additional charges for checked baggage. All fares are subject to availability in the applicable booking class. Seat inventory is limited and may not be available on all travel dates or flights.

Promotional fares are usually non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and non-transferable; your agent confirms your fare's rules before you pay.

  • Dan was a life saver!! Our group searched forever for flights to India with very specific parameters. Dan jumped in, found us an amazing flight, worked out all the details and got us a much better price than we were able to find on our own. And, he did all of that in just a few short hours. We will definitely use Dan and Select Business Class again!

I've also recommended him to friends and colleagues, and they've all had great experience with his service.
