Great question! When we hold airfare on your booking, this is an availability hold but is subject to ticketing guidelines before issuance. Simply put, though the airfare is held against your booking, until this is paid in full, it is subject to pricing fluctuations. If the airfare is not paid by the deadline, the booking is subject to forfeit. Accordingly, we always recommend that airfare is paid in full the same day as it is held; please note that the vacation deposit needs to be fully paid by this point at well.
Once you have paid the airfare on your payment portal, please send me a message and I will have the reservations team live issue the airfare tickets as quickly as possible. 🙂
