Why book your flight with Wicket Travel

Flights are our craft and our sole focus. Wicket Travel Limited books your flight with the airline on your behalf: a consultant checks the fares for your route, quotes you one total price, including any service fee, with the fare rules, and books only once you agree and pay. The airline then issues your e-ticket.

And when a trip needs a human, whether that's a complicated routing, a date that has to move or a family travelling together, our team answers on WhatsApp at any hour.

Allowances, seat pitch and change rules are set by each airline and by the specific fare you book, so treat this as the shape of the four cabins rather than a promise about one ticket. We confirm exactly what applies to yours before you pay.

Baggage, changes, check-in — answered

The questions our agents get asked most often once a flight is booked. Anything not covered here, call or WhatsApp us — day or night.

How much baggage is included with my flight ticket?

Baggage depends on the airline, the cabin and the specific fare. Most long-haul fares include a cabin bag; Economy fares can include anything from no checked bag to one, while Premium Economy, Business and First almost always include one or more. We confirm the exact allowance for your ticket in your quote, before you pay, and you can tick 'include checked baggage' in the search above so we only quote fares that carry it.

Can I change or cancel my flight after booking?

That is set by the airline's fare rules, not by us. Most Economy tickets allow a date change for a fee plus any difference in fare, and many are non-refundable once the free cancellation window has passed. Premium and Business fares are usually more flexible. Tell us what you need before you book and we will point you at a fare whose rules actually fit your plans, then handle the change with the airline if things move later.

How early should I check in and get to the airport?

Online check-in usually opens 24 to 48 hours before departure and is the easiest way to secure your seat. At the airport, arrive around 2 hours before a short-haul departure and 3 hours before a long-haul one from a UK airport — more if you are travelling with children, need special assistance, or are flying at a peak time such as a school holiday.

Do I need a visa for the country I am flying to?

Entry rules depend on your nationality, the country you are visiting and how long you are staying, so always check the requirements for your own passport before you fly. If you are flying to Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE, we handle UAE tourist and visit visa applications ourselves — start a visa enquiry and our team will tell you exactly what you need.

Can I choose my seats or book special assistance?

Yes. Seat selection is available on most airlines — some include it in the fare, others charge for it, and we will tell you which applies. Wheelchair assistance, medical requirements, dietary needs and travelling with an infant all need to be requested with the airline in advance, so call or WhatsApp our team once you have booked and we will arrange it for you.

Is a direct flight always the better choice?

Not always. Direct is faster and simpler, and on routes like London to Dubai, Delhi or New York it is widely available. On routes such as London to Kochi or Birmingham to Cape Town, a one-stop itinerary through a major hub is often the only sensible option and can also be the better-value one. Set 'Direct only' in the search above if it matters to you, or leave it open and we will quote you both.
