We receive log in credentials from PKFare which we forward to the customer to verify their identity in order to be able to check in online. Sometimes a booking is flagged by Ryanair as an agency booking, so PKFare or their provider will rebook it, but will not provide the new details to us. 
 
If a customer reports being unable to verify their identity on Ryanair's website, avoid reiterating the same information to them. Instead, contact PK to double-check the log in credentials in case they have been changed.

There are two options for a Refund Request to be entered in CMS. 
 
<h3 id="h_01HWD6VC5A5JYRNEY5D7DYD3PV">Option 1 - Add Record
</h3>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; height: 78px; width: 80%;">
<tbody>
<tr style="height: 50px;">
<td style="height: 65px; background-color: #6f6f40; width: 2.67857%;">
 
</td>
<td style="width: 97.3214%; background-color: #fff9e5; height: 65px;">
NOTE: 
If a refund is received from the supplier but it's not to be paid out to the customer, follow point 1 below only. This will create a supplier refund record in CMS showing a supplier refund has been received.
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
 
To create a refund request for the customer using Add Record, the process follows two steps. First, create a supplier refund, then link it to the Manual Request Refund.
 
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; height: 78px; width: 80%;">

NOTE: 
Only use this functionality if we have received a refund from the supplier.

There are two parts to reconciling the Sales and Metrics report. Customer payment, and supplier charges (cost price). You can do both parts at the same time, or independently, by splitting the transaction into a customer payment side (columns A-P) and a supplier cost price side (columns Q-W).
As soon as either part or both are checked and are correct, they are coloured blue.

Supplier Credit Top Up Process

Most hotels offer transportation at an additional charge. You can arrange this service directly with the hotel. Otherwise, please refer to the <a href="https://www.travala.com/?tab=activities" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Activities</a> section on our website for the most suitable transfer service provider.

How can I arrange transportation to my hotel?

Deposits can take up to 20 minutes to reflect in your Travala account balance. If the deposit is delayed, please contact us via live chat or email <a href="mailto:support@travala.com">support@travala.com</a>, providing your Travala account email address and the transaction hash so we can check accordingly.

How long should I wait for my deposit?

As a Travel Agency we may not always have full access to the property's inventory. If you cannot find availability for a particular property or room type on our website, please contact us via live chat or email <a href="mailto:support@travala.com">support@travala.com</a> so we can check with all of our suppliers and let you know.

Why I cannot find this hotel/room on your site?

Date amendment
If your booking is still outside the property's amendment penalty window and there is availability for your new dates, we are usually able to amend your dates, subject to any additional amount due if the room rate changes. Please reach out to us at <a href="mailto:support@travala.com">support@travala.com</a>, we will check and advise you accordingly.
Extending your stay
Extending your stay whereby you wish to add more nights to the current reservation, means your current reservation would need to be cancelled (in accordance with the cancellation penalty) and a new reservation at the current rates would need to be made. This could mean potentially having to pay a lot more if the room rate has changed. In this case, we recommend that you make a new reservation only for the additional nights and put a note in the reservation for the property to keep you in the same room. Please keep in mind that this is subject to the property's approval.

How can I amend or extend my stay?

You may be able to book a cruise directly on our website if it's displayed as accommodation. Otherwise, please reach out to our customer service team via <a href="mailto:support@travala.com">support@travala.com,</a> stating your itinerary. Our team will get back to you.

PKFares - How to Format PNR Time Changes

The cryptocurrency rate is calculated at checkout based on the fiat value and is held for 40 minutes once the payment module displaying the QR code is activated.
 If the payment module is closed, the equivalent cryptocurrency rate will be updated automatically.

What happens if the cryptocurrency price changes between the time of booking and payment confirmation?

The <a href="https://www.travala.com/smart">AVA Smart Program</a> is a crypto loyalty travel program that offers savings of up to 13% on travel bookings via direct discounts, loyalty rewards and AVA payment discounts, alongside many other benefits. 
These rewards are available to travellers who choose to use either cryptocurrencies or traditional payment options. 
The Smart Program has several tiers and can be activated by locking up AVA. You still own 100% of the AVA tokens and can unlock at any time after 30 days.

Are there any loyalty programs or rewards for using cryptocurrencies for bookings on Travala.com?

1. How are we going to process USDT payments to customers if they don't want TCs? 
 
-&gt; In this case, we will have to manually transfer USDT. 
 
<ol>
<li>
Kindly contact Jayden, Silvia, Kenny, Rik or Allan to roll back TCs from the customer Travala account. 
</li>
<li>Raise a request to Charles and Matt in the Travelfront Wallet TG group and provide ZD ticket number to support your request.

2. Will the TCs from converted BUSD be distiguished from the standard TCs in the customer account? 
 
-&gt; Yes the customer will be able to see this conversion in the transaction history.

Credit Card And Payment Processing Fees

Whilst we can't add breakfast to your current booking, we can contact the property to check if it is possible to add breakfast to your booking. 
Alternatively you can, upon check-in, request a quote from hotel reception for a breakfast rate and pay at the hotel. 
Otherwise, if available, we could rebook your booking with a room rate including breakfast. We only recommend this option if your current booking is 100% refundable.

How can I add breakfast to my booking?

Unfortunately, once your booking is created, we are no longer able to change the payment method. If you have not completed your payment then ignore the order as it will expire within an hour and create a new booking with your preferred payment method.

How do I change my payment method?

You must be logged into your account when making a booking on our website or app for the booking to appear in your account. If you weren't log into your account, then your booking will not be linked to your account.
To link your booking, kindly send your request to <a href="mailto:support@travala.com" target="_self" rel="undefined">support@travala.com</a> from the email address used in the booking quoting your order/booking reference.

I cannot find my booking in my account, how can I add/link it?

If your payment was higher than the requested payment amount, kindly contact us at <a href="mailto:support@travala.com">support@travala.com</a> with your Order Number and Transaction Hash (TXID) so we can check accordingly. 
If we confirm the booking was overpaid, we will return the funds in the form of our <a href="https://www.travala.com/travel-credits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Travel Credits </a>within 7 business days.

What can I do if I overpaid or exceeded the amount for payment?

Customers may not see BinancePay as a payment option on Travala.com if the IP address is from a country that is not supported by BinancePay.

Before the Swap
AVA 1.0 token exists as a multichain token on the BEP-2, BEP-20 and ERC-20 protocols.
 
After the Swap
Following the token swap, all legacy versions of the AVA 1.0 token were swapped to the new AVA token on the Ethereum (ERC-20) protocol.
The new AVA 2.0 token was issued on a 1:1 basis for existing AVA 1.0 holders. 
The token name was updated from Travala.com to AVA. The ticker name did not change.
 
Who can see the Terms &amp; Conditions popup?
As part of the transition from AVA 1.0 to AVA 2.0 the customer must agree to the terms and conditions of the swap before using Travala.com.
The popup Terms and Conditions will appear when the customer logs into their travala.com account and their AVA balance is greater than zero.
<img src="https://help.travala.com/hc/article_attachments/22612822786713">
Once the T&amp;Cs are accepted our system automatically swaps the AVAOLD to AVA.
 
What happens if customer doesn't agree with the T&amp;Cs?
The Terms &amp; Conditions popup will continue to display anywhere in the system until the customer agrees with the T&amp;C.

Crypto - Opennode Wallet Invalid

If a customer has two or more separate accounts, each with a different email address, and wants to combine their travel credits into one account, is this permitted?
In short, the answer is no. Travel Credits are non transferrable even if the same customer owns multiple accounts. This is to prevent account holders collecting promo credits in multiple accounts and combining the credits together to pay for a single booking.

Travel Credits - Combine Travel Credits from Two Separate Accounts

Travala.com takes customers privacy and security seriously. If a customer requests to make changes to their booking over chat or email, we must first verify that we are chatting with the account owner or traveller(s) before proceeding with the changes.
