Along with technological advances, almost all activities can be carried out by Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) with the help of the internet. Starting from sending money, buying clothes, ordering household appliances, paying water and electricity bills in the village to buying plane tickets.
With the high number and the number of people who need to travel by plane and book tickets easily, there are more and more online travel agents that provide cheap airline tickets.
However, this of course also demands that all PMIs be more careful and alert when they have to buy airline tickets online themselves or with the help of travel agents because many cyber criminals and fraudsters are ready to do many things to deceive their victims.
So that PMI doesn’t get fooled and can get cheap airline tickets online, here are some safe tips for buying plane tickets online that can be a guide.
1. Buy from Trusted Websites and Travel Agents Currently, there are lots of travel agents and online websites that sell airline tickets to various destinations. Make sure you only buy from trusted websites and travel agents.
2. Look for reviews on the Internet and from other friends who have already booked. To determine whether the travel agent and online website are trusted or not, you can look for reviews from people who have bought plane tickets at the agency and website. From the review, a decision can be made whether to buy at that place or choose another.
3. Fair Ticket Prices A reasonable price here is the average price for the desired route. If there are travel agents or online websites that sell below the average price or the price is too cheap, you should be wary. Don’t be tempted by cheap price gimmicks and then lose money.
4. Varied Payment Options Travel agents and trusted online websites usually have many payment options to make it easier for customers to pay for tickets. Starting from ATM transfers to payments via credit cards and providing proof of payment either via sms or printable email.
5. Adequate Support When ordering tickets, pay attention to the customer service department who is ready to help if there are difficulties or problems during the booking process. Travel agents and trusted online websites usually include clear phone numbers and operating hours, even with a chat box that makes it easy for customers to ask questions about the ticket purchase process at these travel agents and the web.
