Jambojet’s ‘Price Lock’ service to spare passenger pain of fare fluctuations

Budget airline Jambojet has launched a new service that allows passengers to book tickets at a specific price and pay the fare within 24 hours, shielding them from price increases as the departure day nears.

The carrier’s new service called “Price Lock” requires passengers booking flights online to pay a service charge of Sh500 (over and above ticket price) in order to hold ticket prices for trips that are at least five days away.
