Q.
Why have I have been charged a foreign transaction fee?
A.
As mentioned on our website on the purchase page, after you enter
your card details and before you accept the Terms and Conditions, we
have a note explaining that some card issuing banks do charge a foreign
transaction fee.
You are transacting on a website where the Merchant is based in India. In certain cases where the merchant is not based in the same country as the customer, your card issuing bank may charge an International Transaction Fee, over and above the transaction value. This fee is imposed by Visa/Master and passed on to the card holders by the card issuing bank. For more information you may please check with your bank on the clauses governing these additional foreign fees. This fee is in addition to your ticket fare charged and will be incorporated in your credit card statement. It is not charged or billed by Air India and hence will not be included in the Online Booking Confirmation email sent to you. As this charge has not been made by Air India, we request you to liaise with your card issuing bank for the same.

Q.
A.
While booking online on our website, fares will always be displayed
in the currency of the country where your journey originates. Further,
through the Payment Gateway, Air India would capture, process and
receive payment for the exact amount as displayed
on the ticket. Air India does not charge anything additional to the
displayed fare. Our web site does offer the option of viewing the
equivalent fare amount in the desired currency. However that is purely
for reference purposes (as mentioned in the display
box ) and may not be the actual amount charged by your card issuer,
since they use the applicable selling rate of the bank.
