back to FAQ list
Will I receive a paper ticket or an electronic ticket?
The majority of airlines now issue electronic tickets, however there are still some airlines that issue paper tickets.
Even for airlines that are predominantly e-ticket-able (eg Qantas), in some instances paper tickets must be issued for certain
boarding points/routings.
If your ticket is issued as an e-ticket, you will normally receive an e-ticket receipt/confirmation by email within one
business day of booking.
Paper tickets are normally dispatched within one business day of booking, but in rare instances, ticketing may not occur
for 2-3 business days.
Where it is possible to issue an e-ticket, airlines will generally charge an additional fee (up to AUD$110 per ticket) if
your preference is for a paper ticket to be issued.
back to FAQ list
How long will it take to receive my ticket?
Wherever possible, electronic tickets (e-tickets) will be issued with details sent to you by email on the same or next business
day.
When paper tickets are issued, they will normally be dispatched on the same or next business day. Jetabroad will deliver
paper tickets at no additional charge using Express Post within Australia and Express Post International to other destinations.
Please note that paper tickets will be delivered to the exact address provided during the booking process. If you have already
departed from Australia and have asked Jetabroad to deliver paper tickets overseas, please note that delivery by Express
Post International takes between:
3-5 business days to New Zealand
5-7 business days to European Union countries
5-7 business days to Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong
7-15 business days to any other country
If you have already departed Australia and your travel date is too soon to guarantee delivery by Express Post International,
we will contact you to offer you alternative arrangements such as delivery by Federal Express or a “Prepaid Ticket (PTA)”.
Additional charges of between AUD$50 and AUD$150 may apply. We will advise you of any additional charges prior to ticketing
and request that you confirm your agreement to any additional charge in writing.
back to FAQ list
What if an error occurs at the end of the booking process?
Booking errors are rare, but they may occur if an airline has incorrectly loaded their seat availability or if the airline’s
reservation system has timed-out. If an error occurs at the end of the booking process (i.e. after you have confirmed that
you wish to proceed with the booking) please contact us as soon as possible (list of phone numbers).
If the error occurs outside of business hours or on the weekend, please email us your booking details
and contact information at (emails are monitored 7 days a week). Our experienced reservations staff can check on the reason
for the error and will contact you to complete your travel arrangements.
back to FAQ list
Can I change or modify my booking online?
Due to the complexity of fare rules, changing or modifying reservations online is not possible at this time. Please contact
our customer support (list of phone numbers) or email us
to modify or cancel an existing reservation.
back to FAQ list
Can I make special requests for my reservation?
Special requests (such as seat, meal or special service requests) not already made during the booking process,
should be emailed to our customer service centre. Requests will be actioned
by our staff on the same or next business day.
back to FAQ list
Do I need a visa for travel to my international destination?
Each Australian citizen travelling to an international destination requires a passport valid for at least 6 months from
return date.
Many countries do not require Australian leisure travellers to obtain a visa prior to arrival. However, some countries
do require Australians to obtain a visa prior to departure from Australia.
If you are in doubt about any individual country's visa requirements for Australian citizens, please contact the nearest
mission of the country(ies) you intend to visit.

How do I get an invoice for reimbursement/tax purposes?

- Your email confirmation serves as a proof of purchase and contains the total price charged for your booking. Should you
require a special invoice (eg. on letterhead), an additional fee applies.
