We send you a confirmation email which contains all of the information your client will need for the trip. During checkout, you will be offered the opportunity to send a second confirmation email directly to your client if you wish.

Can I book a longer trip for my client through Agent59 Last-Minute Getaways or do you just offer weekend travel?

We are growing rapidly though, and we're planning to extend to longer trips in the future.

Will my client earn frequent flyer miles?

All Last-Minute Getaways that include flights are eligible for frequent flyer credit. However, because they include deep discounts, they may not be eligible for an upgrade based on your client's frequent flyer status or by using frequent flyer miles. Please check directly with the airline's frequent flyer desk. If your client has an account with one of our partner airlines and your client's package includes a flight, please be sure to enter your client's frequent flyer account number on the billing information page prior to completing your purchase to ensure that your client's account is credited.

Can my client request a meal on the flight?

Due to the last-minute nature of Agent59 Last-Minute Getaways, we do not handle special requests. To request a special meal, you or your client can contact the airline directly and request a meal preference from the reservations staff.

How many people can I book per hotel room?

Accommodating more than two persons (including children) in one hotel room may result in extra-person charges upon your client's checkout. Please contact the hotel directly if you would like to inquire about extra-person charges. Our pricing is based on double occupancy.

Is the entire cost of my client's hotel room(s) included in the package price?

Your client's package purchase includes the room rate and applicable taxes. It does not include incidentals your client may incur such as extra-person charges, extra-bed charges, resort fees, gratuities, energy surcharges, parking fees, telephone fees, room service, movies and mini-bar. Extra-person or extra-bed charges may apply if you reserve one hotel room for more than two people (including children). Please contact the hotel directly if you would like more information about possible extra-person charges.

Why are there no other flight times available?

We only list inventory made available to us by our partners, so, for example, you may see more flights listed in your GDS from our partner airlines than listed as part of our package. Only flights listed with our packages can be included. It is not possible to make any additions to our packages from outside our platform.

6. Package Pricing

Will there be any extra fees or costs charged for my travel package?

Our package prices include all applicable taxes and fees. The only price changes you may experience will be from options that you decide to change, such as your travel dates, number of travelers, departure city, and your choice of flight, hotels or other items. Rest assured that the total price of your travel package will be updated and displayed to you prior to purchase, so you'll know exactly what you're paying before we ask for any billing information.

Also, remember that you may incur other charges while traveling, such as hotel extra-person or extra-bed charges, resort fees, gratuities, hotel energy surcharges, parking fees, telephone fees, room service, movies, mini-bar, or rental car insurance, gasoline, and other incidentals, that are not included in the package price.

Is there an additional charge for single travelers?

Although we list our prices per person based on double occupancy, you can book packages for single travelers through Agent59 Last-Minute Getaways. After you have chosen a package for your client, you will have the option to enter the number of people traveling. Simply choose one adult when prompted for the number of people and advance to the next page.

Traveling solo with some of our packages will increase the price per person, however, because your client will need to pay for the entire hotel room (or rental car) instead of sharing the cost with another person. The initial prices quoted on the site are per person, based on double occupancy.

Is the entire cost of airfare included in the package price?

The airline may assess excess-baggage fees for each piece of checked luggage beyond the second item. In addition, the airline may charge extra fees for bags over specific size and weight restrictions. These fees are NOT included in the price of the travel package and must be paid to the airline upon check-in. Please contact the airline directly for further details concerning additional baggage fees.

Do you have special prices for children or senior citizens?

Because our prices are among the lowest around for Last-Minute Getaways, we do not offer discounts for children or senior citizens.

How do you price for infants traveling with/without their own airline seats?

No charges apply for infants traveling without their own airline seats, as we assume these infant will be seated on a parent's lap.

No special discount applies for infants traveling with their own airline seat. Our prices are among the lowest around for last-minute travel, so we do not offer any discounts for infants' seats. Charges will apply for the infant’s seat.

Do you offer bereavement fares?

7. Special Requests

Do you offer any packages geared to specific communities or demographics?

Our packages are often written with a theme, event or mood in mind and recommendations and suggestions are added accordingly. We offer a few packages each week that include suggestions of particular interest to gay travelers, and sometimes we may suggest events or activities that have ethnic, regional or religious appeal.

We intend our suggestions to add value to our offerings and allow your client to enjoy the perks of planning at the last minute. We usually offer a variety of packages to the same destination with the intention that one will appeal to your client.

Enjoyment of our last-minute travel experiences is not dependent on demographics such as race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.

Can I upgrade flight, hotel or car reservations or make other special requests for my client's package?

When available, we give you the opportunity to select your client's hotel room or upgrade your client's rental car. While the tickets provided by our airline partners qualify for frequent flyer mileage, they may not be eligible for an upgrade. Due to the last-minute nature of our packages and the deep discounts we pass along to you, you cannot choose your client's airline seat during online booking. We recommend you check directly with the airline's frequent flyer desk to see if your client is eligible for an upgrade based on your client's frequent flyer status or by using frequent flyer miles.

Once a package has been purchased, Agent59 Last-Minute Getaways cannot change any details of the itinerary. We can only guarantee reservations included in your package at the time of purchase.

What happens if a flight or trip is canceled?

As with any trip, please be sure that you call ahead to verify the departure time and reservation. Our offers are guaranteed available, but as you know, airlines do overbook and anything's possible in the world of travel. Please encourage your client to reconfirm when possible. If your client's flight is canceled by the airline due to weather, mechanical difficulties, overbooking, etc., the airline is responsible for ensuring that your client is booked on the next available flight. We cannot re-book your client on another flight.
