However, you will receive this message if it requires an agent’s assistance: “Currently, changes are not supported online for this itinerary. Please contact Menno Travel Service/American Express directly for changes or cancellations”
- Airline Schedule Changes – Changes are handled directly with our agency staff. An email is sent to the traveler and travel delegate, or as noted in the reservation.
- Ticket Issued – Check a traveler’s profile for activity. It will say Confirmed, Pending, or Cancelled. Confirmed means a ticket has been issued. Rearden is unable to issue tickets within 6 hours prior to a flight departure time.
- Voided Tickets – You may cancel a reservation and the ticket may be voided if done the same day of issuance or by 4:30pm the next day. The voiding is done by our agency staff when the reservation is cancelled.
- Unused Tickets – Ticket Exchange (see video)
- Nonrefundable tickets: When a nonrefundable ticket is canceled and can not be voided, it will appear in the traveler’s profile in the Unused Ticket list and on the flight search page when making a reservation for that person. Rearden will automatically apply the value of the unused ticket toward purchase of a new ticket (provided the new ticket is of greater value and is on the same airline). Keep in mind, unused tickets have expiration dates after which they lose all value.
- Refundable tickets: When a refundable ticket is canceled, it will appear in the traveler’s profile in the Unused Ticket list until it is refunded. It will not appear on the flight search page. If you see a ticket in the traveler’s Unused Ticket list with status “Refund Pending”, please let Menno Travel and we will refund the ticket for you.
