•	Cabin class - All cabins offered on the airline (typically Economy and Business).

•	Advance booking - Minimum days before travel when you must book your flight. It can between 1 hour to 1 year before departure. Earlier the advance booking, the cheaper the price. So, a 180 days limit is cheaper than a 1 day limit.

So, it's in your hands to create the cheapest flight pass and earn maximum travel savings! The range and type of parameters may vary based on airline and destinations.

To get the lowest price, customize your Flight Pass as suggested below:

So, more the number of flights, more passengers you can add.
•	Deadline to add passenger names - The first name must be added at the time of pass purchase. The remaining names can be added later before the flight is booked until you have reached the maximum number of passengers chosen. Sometimes, there is a limitation to add all remaining passenger names within a defined time limit after the pass purchase and if such a restriction applies, it would be specified at the time of pass purchase.
•	Any one or more can fly - Each adult passenger can travel alone or along with one or more of the other enlisted passengers on any trip. For infants, you will need to purchase a separate ticket at the time of flight booking. You have full flexibility in terms of flight distribution among the added passenger names. There are no restrictions on maximum or minimum number of bookings for each enlisted passenger name.
•	Adding passenger details and identification document - The following details are required for each passenger: name, email, gender, date of birth, phone number, and sometimes even an identification document like a passport or driver's license or national ID card etc. If a child (below 18 years) does not have a valid identification proof, then the identification document for the parent/guardian may be provided. The number of passengers offered may vary across routes.
•	Increasing your passenger count after the pass purchase - In some cases, depending upon the rules, Flight Pass may also allow you to increase the maximum number of passengers by paying a nominal fee. If it's applicable for your flight pass, you can do so in the Manage My Pass section online.

Travel Zone defines the set of destinations included in your Flight Pass. You can select any number of destinations you want. To do so, you can either select a pre-configured Travel Zone that contains all of your desired destinations. Or you could create a custom Travel zone by adding destinations. A travel zone may be for a few cities or even several countries or even all the routes flown. It can also be a Global Travel Zone covering all worldwide network of that airline. Typically, a travel zone allows travel on all airline operated flights both ways (to and fro) between a hub city of that airline and a set of selected destinations.
•	You can select more destinations to keep more flexibility in your travel plans. However, to save more, you should try to select only your required destinations.
•	Some Travel Zones may allow you to book one-way tickets, while others may allow you to book round trip only.
•	Some Travel Zones may allow you to book ONLY one-way tickets from one city to another (and not allow the reverse direction ticket). This is normally done to offer more savings to travelers, as sometimes prices of one direction flights are much more cheaper than the reverse direction.
*Flight Pass features, change rules and fees may vary across routes.

Advance booking (limit) refers to the minimum number of days prior to departure when the flight must be booked using Flight Pass. Advance Booking can be anywhere from 4 hours prior to up to 180 days before departure. You can customize the advance booking as per your travel needs.
•	Example, a 1 day Advance Booking means you must book your flight at least 1 day before intended flight departure.
•	Earlier the limit, the cheaper the price. So, a 180 day limit is cheaper than a 1 day limit.
•	You may select your Advance Booking limit based on how early or late you wish to make your flight booking. For instance, if you normally book your flights 7 days before travel, then choose the "7 day" Advance Booking.
•	However, if you can book early, then we suggest you choose the earliest possible Advance Booking limit for you to earn maximum savings. You may choose the 30 day, 90 day or even 180 Day Advance Booking limit to get more savings.
