At FarezSphere, we believe travelers should understand the price of their travel arrangements before making a purchase.
FarezSphere is an independent online travel agency operated by Trip Contrast LLC, a United States-based travel business offering domestic and international flight reservations, car rental booking assistance, and cruise reservation services.
Travel prices may include different components depending on the airline, travel supplier, itinerary, fare category, destination, government requirements, and services selected by the customer.
This Taxes & Fees Policy explains how travel prices are established, which taxes and charges may apply, when additional fees may arise, and how customers can review the total cost of their reservations.
Our objective is to provide transparent pricing information while helping travelers make informed booking decisions.
FarezSphere provides access to available domestic and international flight itineraries through travel industry distribution channels.
Flight inventory and underlying fares may be sourced through:
Trip Contrast LLC establishes customer-facing retail prices in accordance with applicable supplier agreements and legal requirements.
The retail price offered through FarezSphere may differ from the underlying supplier fare or prices offered by airlines, other travel agencies, or competing travel websites.
Customers purchase the selected travel product at the total price presented and accepted during the booking process, subject to successful reservation confirmation and ticket issuance.
The total price of a flight reservation may consist of several components.
Depending on the itinerary and fare, these may include:
For flights advertised or sold in markets governed by U.S. airfare advertising requirements, the advertised total airfare must include mandatory taxes, fees, and surcharges required by law.
The final purchase price will be presented before payment authorization.
Optional products or services that a customer voluntarily selects may carry additional charges.
Air travel may be subject to taxes and assessments imposed by governmental authorities.
Depending on the itinerary, applicable charges may include:
Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on qualifying air transportation.
Charges assessed in connection with eligible airport facilities or infrastructure.
Government-imposed fees supporting aviation security operations.
Taxes that may apply when entering or departing particular countries.
Applicable charges associated with border processing and passenger inspection services.
Taxes established by individual governments or other authorized authorities.
The applicability and amount of these charges depend on the travel route, passenger eligibility, itinerary, jurisdiction, and relevant regulations.
Government taxes are not established by FarezSphere.
Airline tickets may include airport-related charges and other mandatory amounts.
These may include:
Some charges are collected by airlines or ticketing providers on behalf of airports, governmental authorities, or other relevant entities.
Where mandatory amounts must legally be included in advertised airfare, they will form part of the displayed total price.
FarezSphere will not present a mandatory surcharge as an optional fee merely to reduce the advertised airfare.
FarezSphere operates as an independent travel agency rather than an airline.
Our company may obtain travel inventory through contracted consolidators, travel suppliers, GDS channels, and other commercial arrangements.
The underlying cost of a ticket may differ from the price offered to the customer.
Trip Contrast LLC establishes its retail selling prices in accordance with its supplier agreements and applicable law.
Accordingly, FarezSphere prices may differ from:
A difference between our retail price and a supplier's underlying fare does not automatically represent a separate agency service fee.
Where a separate fee is charged to the customer, the applicable amount and conditions will be disclosed as required.
FarezSphere may offer flight inventory obtained through bulk, private, negotiated, promotional, or specially sourced distribution arrangements.
Certain fares may have specific conditions relating to:
These conditions may differ from those associated with publicly available airline fares.
Customers should review the material fare conditions before completing a purchase.
Specially sourced or restricted fare conditions do not eliminate mandatory passenger refund rights or other non-waivable consumer protections.
Trip Contrast LLC may charge agency service fees for eligible reservation-related services.
Depending on the service requested, these may include:
A FarezSphere service fee is separate from any applicable airline or supplier charge.
Where an agency service fee applies, its amount and material conditions will be disclosed before the customer authorizes the relevant paid service.
No service fee will be charged merely because it is described in this policy.
Any fee must be supported by the applicable transaction terms and customer authorization.
Not every airline service is included in the base airfare.
Depending on the airline, fare category, and itinerary, customers may choose to purchase additional services.
These may include:
The relevant airline generally establishes the availability and price of its optional services.
Where FarezSphere facilitates an eligible ancillary purchase, the applicable charges will be disclosed before payment authorization.
Baggage allowances vary by airline, route, cabin category, and ticket type.
Some tickets include checked baggage, while others require separate payment.
Additional charges may apply for overweight, oversized, or additional luggage.
FarezSphere does not determine airline baggage allowances or establish airline-imposed baggage fees.
Customers should review the baggage conditions applicable to their selected fare and the operating airline's current baggage policy.
For further information, please review our Baggage Policy.
Certain airlines offer optional advance seat selection, preferred seating, or cabin upgrades.
These services may involve additional charges.
Depending on the fare purchased, standard seat selection may be included, available for an additional charge, or assigned under the airline's applicable procedures.
Seat selection and upgrade availability remain subject to the operating airline's conditions.
Where FarezSphere assists with an eligible paid service, applicable charges will be disclosed before authorization.
Customers requesting voluntary changes to an existing flight reservation may incur additional costs.
Depending on the ticket conditions, these may include:
Some fare categories may prohibit changes entirely.
A flight change is not completed until the applicable reservation has been updated and any necessary ticket reissuance has occurred.
FarezSphere will communicate applicable charges before completing a customer-authorized paid modification.
Cancellation charges depend on the specific travel product and applicable supplier rules.
Certain flight tickets may be refundable, partially refundable, or nonrefundable for voluntary cancellations.
Where permitted by law and the applicable agreement, a customer-requested cancellation may involve airline charges, supplier charges, or a separately disclosed agency service fee.
However, cancellation restrictions and agency fee terms do not override mandatory refund rights.
For example, qualifying airline cancellations or significant schedule changes may create refund entitlements under applicable U.S. Department of Transportation regulations.
For complete information, please review our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
FarezSphere aims to present the total mandatory price of an eligible travel purchase before the customer authorizes payment.
We do not intend to advertise one mandatory price and then require an undisclosed mandatory additional payment to obtain the same advertised travel product.
Customers will be informed of applicable mandatory charges and separately selected optional services in accordance with relevant law.
Optional services or subsequent voluntary booking requests may result in additional charges, but these are distinct from the original mandatory purchase price.
Airfare availability and pricing may change during the booking process.
A displayed search result does not independently guarantee that a flight ticket has been issued.
If a selected fare becomes unavailable before ticket issuance, FarezSphere may notify the customer and present available alternatives.
Customers may choose whether to accept an alternative itinerary or updated price.
FarezSphere will not impose an additional charge or substitute a materially different itinerary without the customer's required authorization.
If the original booking cannot be fulfilled and the customer declines an alternative, any collected payment will be handled according to the applicable agreement and law.
A booking request, payment authorization, or reservation acknowledgment does not necessarily mean that an airline ticket has been issued.
Flight ticket issuance may be completed through contracted suppliers or authorized ticketing arrangements.
The customer should review the booking confirmation and electronic ticket information.
Where a transaction cannot be completed, any payment already collected must be handled in accordance with the applicable booking terms and legal requirements.
FarezSphere will not treat an unissued ticket as confirmed air transportation.
Travel prices will identify or otherwise indicate the applicable transaction currency.
Where a customer pays using a card or payment account denominated in another currency, the customer's financial institution or payment provider may apply:
These charges may be established independently by the customer's bank or payment provider.
Unless expressly disclosed otherwise, FarezSphere does not control charges imposed directly by an independent financial institution.
Customers should contact their bank for information regarding its applicable fees.
FarezSphere provides car rental reservation assistance through an inquiry and quotation-based process.
Car rental prices may include:
The rental provider determines the applicable rate and conditions.
Additional optional services may include:
Additional charges may also arise during or after the rental because of fuel usage, tolls, mileage, late returns, damage, or other circumstances governed by the rental agreement.
Customers should review the total quotation and applicable rental terms before confirming a reservation.

Additional optional services may include:
Gratuities and service charges may be mandatory or optional depending on the cruise operator and selected package. Their treatment must be disclosed in accordance with applicable law.
Cruise prices may vary according to departure date, cabin category, passenger occupancy, destination, and supplier availability.
Customers will be provided with or directed to the applicable quotation and booking conditions before confirming a reservation.
Cruise Reservations: 1-855-271-8025
After a reservation is completed, customers may request additional assistance.
Depending on the service, a post-booking request may involve:
Applicable charges depend on the original booking conditions and the service requested.
Where FarezSphere charges a separate fee, the customer will be informed of the amount before authorizing the service.
Please review our Post-Booking Fee Policy for further information.
Refund eligibility depends on the nature of the charge, applicable supplier rules, ticket usage, and relevant law.
Certain unused taxes may be refundable even where the underlying fare is nonrefundable.
Where a customer is legally entitled to a refund of taxes, mandatory fees, or other charges, the responsible party must return the applicable amounts.
A nonrefundable fare designation does not authorize the retention of amounts that must legally be refunded.
For additional details, please review our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
FarezSphere may accept payments through applicable payment processing channels.
Where a transaction involves a separate payment-related charge imposed by FarezSphere, that charge must be disclosed in accordance with applicable law before payment authorization.
Any surcharge or convenience fee must comply with relevant payment network rules and applicable legal restrictions.
Charges independently imposed by a customer's bank or card issuer may be outside FarezSphere's control.
Customers should review their final payment details before authorizing a transaction.
Before completing a reservation, customers should carefully review:
Customers should contact FarezSphere before payment if they need clarification regarding a displayed charge or booking condition.
If you have questions about airfare pricing, taxes, supplier charges, agency service fees, or billing information, our customer service team can assist with eligible inquiries.
