Jet Airways, India’s premier airline, has introduced a new booking feature called ‘Fare lock’, which allows the passengers the flexibility to retain a selected fare for a limited period of time before confirming the purchase at a later date. Once a passenger selects the FareLock option, he will need to pay a nominal fee for availing the same. The fee is Rs. 350 for domestic flights and Rs. 700 for an international ticket to “lock the fare”.

The passenger can return to the website anytime within the next 72 hours and confirm the purchase at the pre-selected fares by using the Manage Booking option. Jet Airways has become the first airline to launch this innovative feature and it is available across its network. FareLock can be accessed on the airline’s online platforms, its website jetairways.com, the mobile site and the mobile app. The feature is quite helpful for passengers as it allows them greater flexibility to plan their travel.
