Practical facts for the route

Currency conversion, language, document defaults and time-zone differences. We surface these on every booking; they're collected here for the curious.

The same booking and support, whatever the border.

Whatever the border, whatever the operator, your refund eligibility and amount are set by the carrier and the fare you booked — shown on each ticket before you pay. If your journey is cancelled or you cancel within the carrier's window, Panonex handles the refund request with the operator on your behalf.
