FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FOR TRAVEL AGENTS
Just email us on bsp@worldticket.net and provide us with your IATA agency number and your BSP country and it will be assigned by our service team.
If the passenger has questions or requests related to baggage allowance and special services requests (such as meals, wheelchair, sports equipment etc.) you need to contact the partner airline directly to enquire about their terms. Enter the flight number in the GDS Sub-Hosting look-up module here to get contact information of any of our GDS sub-hosted airlines or check the information for our W2 Ticketing Partner Carriers here.
BSP: For a refund on a W2 ticket, please issue a Refund Application via BSP link.
ARC/TCH: Please email us on w2.service.req@worldticket.net for an authorization for a refund or a Waiver Code.
All refund requests have to be submitted together with the complete PNR (Passenger Name Record) history and further documentation to support your request for a refund. If not all necessary information is provided, the refund request cannot be processed.
Please note that our partner airlines may impose cancellation or refund fees according to the applicable fare rules.
Voluntary refund requests
Voluntary refund requests must contain the following information
- A specific reason for the refund request
- A correct calculation of the refund amount. Refund penalties must be calculated according to the applicable fare rules and need to be deducted from the refundable value
- Complete PNR history and supporting documentation
- Break down of taxes according to the specific tax designators. Please note that the codes “XT” and “TX” may not be used to sum up the total amount of the refundable taxes
Involuntary refund requests
Involuntary refund requests must contain the following information
- Complete PNR history and supporting documentation
- Involuntary downgrades: Refund requests must be supported by a copy of the boarding pass or with a written confirmation from the operating carrier
- Refund in case of illness, death, or rejection of travel visa: Such refunds are not eligible for an involuntary refund. If the fare rules of the ticketed carrier provide a waiver of refund penalties, the required supporting documents (e.g., the embassy statement of the visa rejection, certificate of hospitalization or death) must be provided to W2
Please note that W2 only acts as the validating carrier, and any claims in addition to the refund of the ticket, e.g., compensation claims must be directed to the operating carrier directly.
Ticketing errors
If two tickets were issued by mistake in the same PNR with identical fares along with routing and flight dates in the same passenger name, the refund needs to be requested via a refund application as described above.
Refunds will be processed in accordance with the terms and conditions of fare rules of the partner airline.
In all other cases (e.g., incorrect name, different passenger type etc. after ticket issuance but before the first coupon flight date) kindly contact our service team by sending an email to w2.service.req@worldticket.net.
Our refund service is free of charge which means no handling fees apply. However, our partner carriers may impose cancellation fees according to the applicable fare rules.
Please note that W2 may impose a refund service fee of up to EUR 15.00 in cases of:
- Miscalculations on the requested refund amount
- Corrections to a previously authorized refund request
- Repetitive refund requests to identical tickets
Please note the refund services are offered to travel agents. Passengers need to contact their travel agency directly for requesting a refund.

W2 is both marketing and validating carrier for several of our partner airlines that are not normally available in the GDS. Our partner airlines are available in BSP markets worldwide and in all major GDSs under the W2 IATA code and ticketable on W2-365.
For some of our partner airlines W2 is validating carrier only in all the BSP markets active by W2 and our partner airlines are ticketable on W2-365.
W2 (FlexFlight) is not the operating carrier for our partner airlines but only a sales partner providing the ticketing capability on the W2-365 tickets.
The travel agency is obligated to always clearly indicate who is the operating carrier when issuing the ticket so the passenger knows who is operating the flight.
We continuously sign new agreements with airlines worldwide. To stay updated on when new airlines become ticketable on W2, just sign up for our monthly newsletter on the bottom of the page.
No, please do not add any such sensitive information into the free text field of the PNR.

The free text fields within the PNR are to be used following general data protection principles, in particular, data minimization. Free text fields cannot be used to enter information that may be considered sensitive in nature and therefore require an increased level of security.
