Booking flights with AIr Deccon

Flora · Nov 2nd, 2006, 22:43

I've been trying to book flights with Air Deccon to fly from Trivandrum to Bangalore in January, but the site doesn't seem to be able to accept credit cards. I want to get these tickets booked soon as I'm worried that the seats will go, so I was wondering if anybody knew of another agent or website that I could use.
Thanks for your help

Deccan have some issues with their international credit card form. Keep trying this should get cleared up soon!!

Trying booking with ClearTrip.com, MakeMyTrip.com or TravelGuru.com. It may cost you a bit more than directly booking with AirDeccan.

whenever I read "Booking tickets with Air Deccan" somehow I tend to murmur "...is a pain" following that

why internationl credit cards its a pain no matter what card one has.....
someone, an IMer, from AU had the same problem...do not know what happened later. Keep trying. or try phone booking...or asking over phone if there is any problem with their site!

Local travel agents do this booking for a nominal fee.

I booked some the other day directly througt the air deccon site and it all worked fine???

How long ago Loz - the international credit card processing went down about 3-4 weeks ago I think. Probably should have fixed it by now, though.

Oh, gosh sorry, we were planning to go with Air Deccon and then found a better deal with IndiGo. So sorry, hope i didn't get your hopes up. Lucky we changed our minds tho!!

Just tried to book some flights with Air Deccan (they now allow for bookings until 08/2007) but it still does NOT work with an international credit card.

Tried all three sites. No chance to get tickets there if you are not an Indian resident...

That's really annoying! 2 tickets from Goa to Delhi are only 3598 Rs...

You could try another travel site - yatra.com; but if the other 3 sites have restrictions when it comes to non-Indian residents the chances of managing a booking through yatra would appear slim too.
Did you try Spicejet too when searching for lowest fare between Goa and Delhi?They usually have very cheap fares.

I just got the car-hire agent I'm using to book them for me. R250 p ticket extra. I'm sure if you're using any form of agent they would do it.

Don't have any agent in India - any recommendations for a trustworthy agent? Best would be someone in Palolem or Delhi.

You're not hiring a car or using a booking agent for accomodation or anything like that?

Mio · Nov 12th, 2006, 19:02

I never needed an agent... til now!

If I make reservations for accomodation at all, I do it by email or phone, and a car with driver is not exactly what I like.
