Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about travelling with Sabar Airlines.

Travel Alerts

Stay informed about the latest updates that may affect your journey with Sabar Airlines.

Travel alerts are published on our website's Travel Alerts page and shared across our official social media channels. We recommend checking these before your travel date, especially during peak seasons or periods of geopolitical change.

If a travel alert directly affects your booking, we will notify you via the email address or phone number provided at the time of booking. It is important to ensure your contact details are up to date in your booking profile.

If a travel alert is issued for your destination, we advise you to:

  • Check our website for the latest guidance specific to your route.
  • Contact our customer care team to discuss your options, including rebooking or refunds where applicable.
  • Follow advice from your government's foreign travel advisory.

No. A travel alert is an advisory notice about conditions that may affect your travel experience — such as entry restrictions, health requirements, or security concerns. A flight cancellation is a separate operational decision. An alert does not automatically mean your flight is cancelled.

Travel Requirements

Everything you need to know about documentation and entry requirements before you fly.

At a minimum, you will need a valid passport and your boarding pass. Depending on your destination, you may also need a visa, entry permit, vaccination certificate, or other documentation. It is your responsibility to ensure you hold all required documents before travel.

Visa requirements vary based on your nationality and destination. We recommend checking with the embassy or consulate of your destination country, or using a trusted government travel portal. Sabar Airlines is not responsible for denied boarding due to missing or invalid documentation.

Some destinations require proof of vaccination against diseases such as Yellow Fever. Requirements change regularly, so we advise checking with your destination country's health authority and your travel doctor well in advance of your trip.

We recommend arriving at least 3 hours before international flights and 2 hours before domestic flights to allow sufficient time for check-in, baggage drop, security screening, and boarding.

Flight Delay & Cancellations

Understand your options and rights when your flight is delayed or cancelled.

In the event of a significant delay, Sabar Airlines will provide affected passengers with updates via SMS, email, or airport announcements. Depending on the length of the delay, we may offer meal vouchers, accommodation, or rebooking options in line with our passenger care policy.

Yes. If Sabar Airlines cancels your flight, you are entitled to a full refund of your unused ticket or the option to rebook on the next available flight at no additional cost. Please contact our customer care team to initiate the process.

We will notify you by email and SMS using the contact details on your booking. You can also check your flight status in real time on our website or by contacting our customer care team directly.

If your connecting flight is operated by Sabar Airlines and you miss it due to a delay on a Sabar Airlines flight, we will rebook you on the next available connection at no charge. If your connection is with a partner airline, please speak to our ground staff or contact our customer care team for assistance.
