Booking A Flight

 You are also bound by additional terms and conditions of specific airfares. Some tickets like “economy restricted” are not flexible and so you cannot change the airfare or request a refund.

Flight tickets must be used in the manner set out in the terms and conditions. It is important to pay particular care to the first stage of the flight as failure to use the airfare within the stated period could invalidate your entire journey. While some airlines require a minimum check-in time of not less than 3 hours before departure for international flights and not less than 2 hours for domestic flights. Some airlines require a 72-hour confirmation of your return flight ticket or the result is a cancellation.

Airlines reserve the right to make changes to your booking including canceling both unconfirmed and confirmed bookings.

Ontime Hajj & Umrah shall bear no liability for such schedule changes or cancellations, however, we are willing to provide what reasonable assistance you may need through our customer support services.

A confirmed booking does not guarantee you any specific seat as your seats will be allocated on departure.

Should any costs be incurred during transit between airports or terminals, Ontime Hajj & Umrah will not be held liable.

Be aware that when you book a flight with discount prices or at a lesser price, they may not follow the most direct route. Also, there might be a need to switch aircrafts mid-journey. A direct flight is one where the passengers remain on the same aircraft that they board at the beginning of their journey till they arrive at their destination. Although there is no change in aircrafts mid-journey, there may be stops for refueling or for passengers to board or disembark. Times are based on the 24-hour clock system, they are approximated and focused on outbound flights.

A direct flight is one that retains its flight number through the journey although there might be stops along the way for a change of aircraft. These are not the same as nonstop flights, which have no layovers or connections. They do not stop until they reach their destination.

A nonstop flight is one that travels nonstop from the airport of departure until it reaches its final destination. There are no stops for connections or layovers, unlike with direct flights which are required only to have the same flight number for the duration of the journey even though the aircraft might change mid-journey.

This does not apply to any indirect loss or any loss that may occur as a result of the manner in which you make use of our website or our products and services.

Important issues to consider if you are going for Hajj with the Shifting Hajj Package

Aziziyah

It is important to note that both Aziziah and Sheesha are basic standard buildings that have no rank. So, though you might be going to hajj on a 5-star package, if you do stay in the Aziziah or Sheesha buildings, you need to know that they are standard basic.

It is also necessary to note that whether you book a double, triple, or quad sharing accommodation if you are staying in the Aziziyah, you can expect that there will be between 5 to 6 people in one room. The kind of room sharing you paid for does not take place until you get to the hotels in Makkah or Medina.

Kindly note that Hajj is a busy season therefore there might be some issues regarding cleanliness with the toilets in Aziziyah. Feel free to get in touch with the group leader to resolve these issues.

Mina

The accommodation in Mina is usually European tents. Although these tents have air conditioning and sofa beds, there are usually between 40 to 60 people in a single tent.

The walking distance between the European tents and Jamarat is about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on your pace.
