Frequently asked questions

Which cryptocurrencies can I use to book flights? 

Currently, due to the short expiration times associated with flight bookings, you can only use stablecoins like USDT and USDC to pay for flights at Cryptorefills. This ensures faster transaction processing and reduces the risk of price fluctuations affecting your booking.

Are there any additional fees for using crypto to book flights?

Cryptorefills strives to offer a fee-free experience when booking flights with cryptocurrency. However, minor blockchain transaction fees (gas fees) may apply, depending on the cryptocurrency you use.

How fast is the booking process when paying with crypto?

Once your payment is confirmed on the blockchain, the flight booking is processed immediately. Typically, this takes only a few minutes, but it may vary based on the cryptocurrency's network activity.

Can I get a refund if I cancel my flight?

Refunds are subject to the airline’s cancellation policy. In the event of a cancellation, refunds will be issued in the form of crypto, and the amount will be based on the current exchange rate at the time of refund.
