Airblue ticket agents will need to scan the barcode on that ticket receipt to check you in at the airport. If you have held your reservation for payment, you must visit a payment center to complete your reservation in person by the time/date shown on your itinerary. The Airblue team member or payment center representative will then print your ticket receipt for you.

Where is the confirmation number displayed when I book online?

The confirmation number for a reservation is displayed on the itinerary and confirmation screen, which is displayed after you click on the 'Pay Now with Credit Card' or 'Hold Reservation & Pay Later' buttons in your reservation process. If a copy of the itinerary was requested via email, your confirmation number will also appear in the body of that message.

What type of web browser should I use to purchase travel online?

To view www.airblue.com and purchase travel online, we recommend you use a web browser equivalent to Netscape Navigator version 4.06 or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.01 or higher. The newest versions of these browsers can be downloaded from the Netscape or Microsoft web sites, respectively. America Online (AOL) users must use AOL version 4.0 or higher, which uses Internet Explorer. The browser you use must support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption and JavaScript. Disabling any of these features or using older non-compatible browsers may reduce site functionality.

To determine which browser you are running, click on Help at the top of the browser and select the About menu item that describes your browser. Please note that any "Beta" or "Preview" version of a browser may not properly work with these pages. If you are using a beta or preview version, please upgrade your browser to a previously released version of either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Corporate access limitations:

If you are accessing the Airblue web site from your corporate LAN and you get an error message on the itinerary screen, it may be because you are being blocked by a firewall. Although the error message may read that Netscape Navigator is unable to find the web server, it is most likely because your corporation has a firewall which is preventing encrypted traffic from flowing from the Airblue web site back to you. Ask your system administrator to reconfigure the firewall to open port 443, which is the port used for secure HTTP.

I cannot type numbers on the screen where I enter payment information. What causes this and how can I fix the problem?

Your [Num Lock] key may not be activated. Either use the standard number keys that appear above the letter keys on your keyboard or press the [Num Lock] key on your keyboard and type the numbers using the number keypad on your keyboard.

Why does my system "freeze" or close applications when I am trying to purchase travel online?

If you have several applications running at the same time, your system resources may be overwhelmed, causing the system to "freeze" or automatically close certain needed applications. The Airblue web site CANNOT "freeze" a Customer's computer.

How do you protect my credit card information?

We use security applications and utilities to protect your credit/debit card information. Our security applications work with most web browsers.

Two ways to verify your credit/debit card information is being protected while purchasing on the Internet:
1. Look for an unbroken key or a closed lock in the lower status bar of your browser screen.
2. Look at the address line (i.e.https://www.airblue.com ) at the top of the browser screen change from "http" to "https" as you access the secure page.

Why am I getting a message at the itinerary screen?

If you get an error message on the itinerary screen (where the phrase "I accept these restrictions and want to purchase this travel" is displayed next to a Continue button), it may be because you are being blocked by a firewall. Ask your system administrator to reconfigure the firewall to open port 443, which is the port used for secure HTTP.
