Travel abroad booked a hotel but no room to stay?

It may be because the "latest check-in time" is exceeded"

When on an overseas holiday, it is particularly important to enjoy a comfortable night's rest in the hotel after a long trip. But there is one problem that is often overlooked-check-in time.

Different from the check-in time of 14/16 pm in most domestic hotels, some overseas hotels, especially those in Europe and the United States, also set the "latest check-in time" (usually 24 o'clock on the day of check-in).

When the "latest check-in time" is exceeded and the guest has not arrived at the hotel to check in, some hotels will not reserve the room for the guest. At the same time, the hotel will also classify the order as "No Show" (the passenger did not appear) during the night review, and will regard the order as completed and charge the passenger's room fee.

At this time, whether passengers fail to check in in time due to time difference or traffic delays, the hotel can release their vacant rooms. When passengers arrive at the hotel, they may face the situation of no room to stay.

Therefore, passengers who are about to travel are reminded to pay attention to the check-in and check-out time of the hotel they have booked, so as to avoid unnecessary losses.

On Ctrip's platform, in the details page of each hotel, the "hotel policy" page has a prompt about the time of entry and departure. On the order filling page, there is also a "reservation must be read" prompt. Some hotels also said in the hotel policy that "if you arrive at the hotel at the abnormal arrival and departure time, please contact the hotel in advance", which also means that if passengers have special circumstances, they can negotiate the check-in time with the hotel in advance.

What if there is a change in the flight during the transfer?

Aviation Division, platform will have corresponding safeguard mechanism

With the continuous recovery of cross-border flights and the continuous improvement of the richness of the route network, it has become more convenient for tourists to travel abroad, especially the existence of transit flights, which allows many tourists to travel at more favorable prices. In addition to the price, some destinations that have not opened direct flights can also be reached through transit, which greatly facilitates the travel of tourists.

However, the problem is that the connecting flight is a combination of two or more flights. Tourists are worried that if there is a change in one flight, will it affect the overall travel rhythm?

The relevant person in charge of Ctrip said that transit flights are a combination of multiple flights, and there are usually two forms of self-combination and OTA platform combination. In the case of a self-assembled flight, there is usually no need to re-check in, re-check your luggage, transfer directly with your boarding pass, or even just a short stay at the intermediate airport to re-board.

The combined flight of the OTA platform is through technology, through the splicing of two or more segments of the voyage, to provide users with a richer travel program. In this case, the user is usually required to re-check in, and the OTA platform will also guarantee sufficient transfer time for the user when splicing.

What kind of travel guarantee mechanism does each of the two combined flights have? The person in charge further introduced that if it is a combined flight of the airline division, the airline division will guarantee the flight. The OTA combination flights that provide users with multiple travel plans will be guaranteed by the platform.
