I am searching for flight tickets and have selected my preferred flight. However, after providing passenger details, I see that the fares have increased. Why?
Airline fares are dynamic in nature and are based on availability of the seats on the particular flight you’ve selected. In some cases, the seats on the flight you’ve selected may be sold by the time you’ve completed your booking. To minimise the risk of booking failures, please check the availability of your flight before you proceed with payment. If you find that the fare has increased when you reach payment stage, you have the option of either going ahead with the booking or searching for a different flight with more availability.

How do I know my booking has been confirmed?
We’ll send you an SMS (to either your Mauritian and international phone number) and an email to confirm your flight booking.

Do I need to confirm my flight reservation before I fly?
No, you don’t. But feel free to contact the airline directly if you like.

XtraMiles does not offer pre-assigned seating. Some airlines will confirm your seat assignments but their rules for doing so vary. It’s best to call your airline directly to check whether you can choose your seat.

For any amendments to your flights, please contact your Relationship Manager at AfrAsia Bank. He or she will be glad to assist you.

Can I book a flight for my unaccompanied child?
You cannot make an online flight booking for an unaccompanied child on any online flight booking platforms. This is due to airline regulations. You will need to contact your airline directly and provide specific supporting documents to complete this type of booking.
