在國外訂票網站上,sold out 和 fully booked 都在講東西沒了。機票、演唱會票、景點門票賣完寫 sold out;飯店某幾天查不到房型可選,頁面上寫 fully booked。這兩個字用在班次和房間上常常互換。
fully booked 另外還能講人的行程滿檔,sold out 不行。跟國外同事約時間的時候,說 I’m fully booked next week 就是下週排滿了。
| 單字 | 中文 |
|---|---|
| sold out | 票賣完了 |
| fully booked | 房間或行程被訂滿 |
| The concert is sold out. | 演唱會票賣完了。 |
| We’re fully booked on those dates. | 那幾天我們訂滿了。 |
| Do you have anything available on the 26th? | 26 號還有空房嗎? |
| Is there another date that still has seats? | 還有哪一天有位子? |
| I’m fully booked next week. | 我下週行程滿了。 |
同一間飯店同一個房型,訂房網站上常常並排兩個價錢。free cancellation 是可以在期限前免費取消、全額退款,期限多半是入住前 24 到 48 小時。
non-refundable 的價錢通常便宜一成到兩成,訂的時候就扣款,之後取消不退錢。
期限和罰則是每一家飯店自己訂的,同一個城市的兩間飯店可以完全不一樣。要看的是房型下面那一行 cancellation policy。
| Does this rate come with free cancellation? | 這個價錢可以免費取消嗎? |
| The cheaper rate is non-refundable. | 便宜那個價錢不能退。 |
| What’s the cancellation policy? | 取消條款是什麼? |
訂完會收到一封確認信,裡面有一組六個字母數字的代號。打客服或線上 chat 的時候,對方要先問這一組才查得到你的訂單。
這組代號各家的叫法不一樣。英國的航空公司寫 booking reference,美國的寫 confirmation number 或 record locator,訂票網站寫 reservation code,指的都是同一組六個字。哪個字都可以講。
想改日期,跟客服說 reschedule。reschedule、rebook、change my booking 這三種說法在客服對話裡通用。差別只在誰改的:航空公司自己調整班表、把你移到別的班次,他們用 rebook 講這件事。
| My booking reference is HK4T2L. | 我的訂位代號是 HK4T2L。 |
| I’d like to reschedule my flight to Friday. | 我想把班機改到星期五。 |
| Can I change my booking to the 26th? | 可以幫我改到 26 號嗎? |
| I booked the wrong date. | 我訂錯日期了。 |
| Can you check what’s available that week? | 可以幫我看那一週還有什麼嗎? |
change fee 是改票這個動作本身收的手續費,票種決定收多少,跟新票價無關。美國國內線的經濟艙從 2020 年起多數取消這筆費用,國際線和廉航還是可能要收。
fare difference 是新班次票價比原本那張高的價差。原本那張比較貴的話,通常不退回差額。
這兩筆分開算,可能只收一筆,也可能兩筆都收。線上 chat 的時候可以請客服分別報這兩筆各是多少。
| Is there a change fee? | 要收改票手續費嗎? |
| Do I have to pay the fare difference? | 我要補票價差額嗎? |
| How much is it in total to move to Friday? | 改到星期五總共要多少錢? |
refund 是把錢退回原本刷的那張卡。信用卡的帳通常要等幾個工作日才看得到。
有些航空公司退的是只能買他們家機票的旅行金。跟客服確認退回來的是哪一種。
| Can I get a refund? | 可以退錢嗎? |
| Will the refund go back to my credit card? | 錢會退回我的信用卡嗎? |
| Is it a refund or travel credit? | 退的是現金還是旅行金? |
| How long does the refund take? | 退款要多久? |
| I cancelled before the deadline. | 我在期限前就取消了。 |
