Connecting flights

There’s nothing worse than missing a flight connection, so Haboob.travel is designed to help you avoid that fate! As a general rule, we don’t show flights with less than one-hour connection time in the airport, as this might not give you enough time between flights. You may also need more time - particularly in large airports or where you must clear customs and immigration between flights. We also make sure, if you’re making a journey with more than one flight and with different airlines, that we flag it if the two airlines don’t offer cover for missed connections. However, Haboob.travel is a travel search engine only, and we don’t sell flights directly – instead we pass you on to the airline or travel agent to make your booking, therefore we would recommend that you contact the flight provider if you have any specific questions or concerns – they also will be able to clarify what would happen in that situation.

When should I make my booking?

As soon as you are sure which dates you wish to travel, we would advise you to make your reservation. During traditionally busy periods (New Year, Carnival, Easter, Summer), we would book as early as possible. To obtain the lowest airfare must be book within 14 days or more in advance.

How do I search for flights on Haboob.travel?

Haboob helps you find the best options for flights on a specific date, or on any day in a given month or even year. For tips on how best to search, please head over to our search tips page.

How do I search for one-way flights?

By default, Haboob’s search is set up for return flights. However, it’s simple to change to one way. Whether you’re on our website, mobile website or app, you can search for one-way flights by selecting the ‘one way’ option above the ‘From’ (departure airport) field. To change back to return flights, simply re-select ‘Round trip’, or click in the return date field, and you’ll be able to search for return flights again.

Direct flights:

Group bookings:

On Haboob.travel you can search for the best flights for your group of up to 8 adult passengers (plus up to 8 children). For more passengers, the airline or travel agent may require you to book by telephone or via a special section of their website. This is because airlines may have preferential group fares and separate terms and conditions – so we want to ensure that you get the best deal. To find out more, suggest searching on Haboob.travel to identify which airlines and travel agents sell your chosen route, and then contacting the provider directly before your booking to check their policy.

Child/infant fares and children travelling alone

Travelling families: Prices for children and infants Some airlines might offer discounted airfares for children and/or infants. To help give you the most accurate flight prices and help you rest easy, we always ask for the ages of your children at the time of travel. Understanding the prices, we show Once you have entered your passenger information, we display our flight search results to show the total price (given to us by the airline/travel agent) for everyone If fare prices are cheaper for any children or infants travelling, you can be assured that we have already taken these discounts into account in the total price. Once you have selected a flight, we will usually redirect you to the airline or travel agent's website where you will be able to see the fare price breakdown for all individuals travelling. We recommend checking this information carefully before you book, however the total price for all passengers should match the total price you were shown on Haboob.travel.

Luggage

Depending on the flight provider, the rules, conditions and prices for luggage (including sports equipment) do vary. It’s always recommended to check with the airline or travel agent directly (and you should be shown the options when you make your booking).

Visas, Passports and travel documents

Different airlines, countries and governments have many different requirements for passports, ID, visas and other travel documentation, which can also vary depending on your own nationality. Importantly, it is each passenger’s personal responsibility to ensure they have the correct documentation before they travel, so it’s crucial that you check these details before booking your flight.

Do I need a passport to make a booking?

This can differ depending on the flight provider (airline or travel agent), and the specific route. Often for domestic flights a passport is not required, and other forms of ID are acceptable – the airline or travel agent with whom you intend to book should be able to provide this detail. Some providers may ask for passport and ID at the time of booking and you won’t be able to complete your booking without these details, while with others may allow you to enter this information post-booking, or when you are doing online check-in a few days before travel.

Can I make a booking if my passport has expired?

If a passport is required to make a booking then in most cases it would be fine to make a booking with your old passport number and then, when you get your new passport, you can contact the airline and they can change it over for you (often you can do this on the 'manage my booking' section of the airline website, depending on the airline). However, the process can differ depending on the airline, so where possible we would recommend checking with the airline or travel agent in advance. We would also always recommend allowing enough time if you need to renew your passport, and your local passport office should be able to advise accordingly.

Do I need a visa or transit visa?

Travel documentation requirements do change frequently, so our best advice is to check with your airline or travel agent, as well your destination country’s local Embassy or Consulate prior your booking, and definitely before you fly. Remember, it is each passenger’s personal responsibility to make sure they have the needed documents before they travel.

When’s the best time to book?

Flight prices change all the time and the availability and pricing differ depending on a number of different elements. There is no certain way to guarantee the best prices, but sometimes of the year have historically been better than others. For example, there are often good flight deals. If you’re flexible on dates, using our month and whole year searches can also be helpful in comparing prices. Our browse view article might help. If you have fixed dates, you can try setting up price alerts which will let you know when the price changes. Here's another article that might help. In general, we recommend you to book a flight as soon as you find a price you are satisfied with. Whenever you decide to book, it’s reassuring to know that our system is designed to find you the best prices available at the time.
