Agency Ticketing, Changes, and Questions
When is my Quicktrip reservation actually ticketed
Before completing a reservation, you will be provided with ticketing options. Options are based on the airfare rules or restrictions. If you need a reservation ticketed on a specific date, add that date to the Delivery Instructions box on the Billing Information page which appears at the time you have completed your air, car and hotel selections.
How do I know our travel agency has received my QuickTrip booking
Your QuickTrip reservation confirmation page and an email confirmation will indicate that your reservation has been made. That information includes a Record Locator which notes confirmation.
If our travel agency books a trip for me, will I be able to see it on QuickTrip
No. The only bookings accessible via QuickTrip are those made through the system.
What if I need to make changes to my itinerary
If your reservation has not been ticketed you may make a change to your itinerary by clicking Trips on the top navigation bar.
What if I have an e-ticket issued and need to change or cancel the reservation or I need a ticket refund
Simply contact CWT via email (utquicktrip@carlsonwagonlit.com) and they will assist you. If you have an e-ticket, it is important that you notify the agency so they can process the refund. If the ticket is non-refundable, the travel agency will explain cancellation and reissue procedures base on the airline rules.
Who do I contact for questions
