Want to book a ticket for someone else? Or perhaps you are booking for yourself but using a third party credit or debit card. 

No problem! However, there are a few points the third party purchaser should keep in mind on Wanderu's platform. Please follow the steps below for a successful booking!

Step 1

Once you have selected the itinerary for your trip, you will be taken to a Trip Summary page.

Step 2

Make sure to review your selection (route, dates, times). If everything is correct, click "checkout" to head to the check-out page. 

Step 3

At the check-out page, you'll see there segments with the trip summary information provided on the right (or top on mobile) side of the page.


You can log into your account if you have one, or continue as a guest.

CONTACT INFORMATION here you will input the email address where the ticket will be sent to and the phone number. This can be yours as the purchaser or the passenger. Just make sure you review that the email is entered correctly.

PASSENGER DETAILS here you will input the passenger name as it is listed on their valid ID. For international trips, the name must be entered exactly as it is listed on the passport/visa being used for travel.

Terms & Conditions here you can review both Wanderu's and the carriers' terms and conditions of purchase. By accepting or clicking on the "Continue to Trip Protection" you are agreeing to these terms.

Step 4

Opt in our out of travel insurance. Offered through Allianz.

Step 5

Enter your credit card/billing information.

Once you submit the payment, you will be direct to a "thank you" page, where you will get your confirmation number, please take this number down (and keep it!)

Shortly after, you will receive a confirmation email and e-tickets from the transportation carrier in the inbox of the email address indicated.
