Price Match Promise

Our Promise

Yourtravelbuddy is confident in our ability to offer competitive pricing on flight bookings. Our Price Match Promise demonstrates this confidence: if you find a lower price for an identical itinerary on a qualifying competitor's website, we will match that price. We want you to book with confidence, knowing that you are getting a great deal combined with our personalized customer service and 24/7 support.

Qualifying Competitors

Our Price Match Promise applies to published fares found on the following major online travel agencies:

• Expedia (expedia.com)
• Orbitz (orbitz.com)
• Priceline (priceline.com)
• Travelocity (travelocity.com)

The competing fare must be publicly available on the competitor's website at the time you submit your price match claim. The fare must be bookable by the general public without requiring membership, login, or any special access.

Requirements for a Valid Price Match Claim

To qualify for our Price Match Promise, all of the following conditions must be met:

1. Identical Itinerary: The competing fare must be for the exact same itinerary, including the same airline(s), flight number(s), departure and arrival airports, travel dates, and times
2. Same Cabin Class: The competing fare must be for the same cabin class (Economy, Premium Economy, Business, or First Class)
3. Same Number of Passengers: The fare comparison must be based on the same number of passengers as your Yourtravelbuddy booking
4. Currently Available: The competing fare must be presently active and available for booking at the time of your claim. Expired, sold-out, or cached fares do not qualify
5. Same Fare Type: The competing fare must be the same fare type (refundable vs. non-refundable, basic economy vs. standard economy)
6. Total Price Comparison: The price comparison is based on the total price including all taxes and fees. Our service fee is included in the total price comparison

• Opaque or Bundled Fares: Fares where the airline or specific flight details are not disclosed until after purchase (such as Priceline's "Express Deals" or Hotwire's "Hot Rate" fares)
• Student, Military, or Senior Discounts: Fares discounted based on age, occupation, or status that require verification
• Airline Direct Offers: Fares available only on an airline's own website or app that are not published through third-party channels
