It is the passenger's responsibility to have the necessary documents for travelling.
In the case of cancellation, eligible refunds to the passenger are processed once the airline has proceeded with the refund to tripsta.

Tripsta might also charge a change fee depending on the service package selected in the original booking.
Disabled passengers and passengers with reduced mobility are obliged to inform the airline or tripsta about the necessity and nature of assistance at least 48 hours before the departure time.

Children under the age of 5 years must be accompanied by a passenger (usually required to be older than 15 years), to travel. Tickets can only be issued for unaccompanied children via phone. Every airline follows a different policy regarding unaccompanied children. Tripsta highly recommends that you contact the airline before booking the flight. Many airlines provide an escort service for children, but the cost and requirements of such service are regulated by each airline.
No, the tickets you tried to book have not been confirmed due to a temporary technical issue that took place in the airline(s) system during the booking procedure. This resulted in a failed booking, while a pre-authorization of the corresponding amount had already taken place.

You may incur additional fees for credit card payments, which will be shown in the final price before completion of the booking.

If you find errors in your confirmation email, contact Tripsta‘s’ passenger service center as soon as possible. Amendments, however, are not always possible or might have an extra cost.
