Buying an updated ticket, also called flexible flights and with different destinations to choose from, is a desire of many travelers, especially when you are not yet sure about the departure and return dates due to work commitments or when you want to make an original gift idea.

Today some several companies and platforms allow alternative ways of purchasing airline tickets to allow passengers to take advantage of greater flexibility. However, it is necessary to clarify the distinction between the different options, the possibilities, and the methods of purchasing open air tickets.

Open tickets in the form of gift travel vouchers
Today many airlines allow you to gift a trip for two or more people by offering an open-air ticket with no date, no destination, and no name with different options to select. However, most of them allow the purchase of this type of ticket only in the form of a travel gift voucher (as in the case of Ryanair ) or through the purchase of a prepaid card, Gift Card Travel, as in the case of Alitalia. Other companies, on the other hand, as in the case of Lufthansa, allow the purchase of airline tickets open only to Miles & More members, and only after having created a personal profile on "My mileage account "if you have a credit card. It is always advisable to thoroughly read the purchase conditions of these types of open tickets before proceeding.

Purchase of open-air tickets through platforms such as eDreams or Volagratis
Open-air tickets can also be purchased through platforms such as Volagratis or eDreams, through the purchase of Gift Cards that can be used for different destinations by choosing the desired one from several companies.

Both in the case of open tickets purchased directly from airlines and in the case of those purchased through Volagratis or Edreams, it is always advisable to check the conditions and validity of the vouchers. The time duration can be variable, as well as the inclusion of the price of taxes, which is a fundamental element to be considered especially in the case of a gift idea. In fact, in some cases taxes are included, in others, there is a supplement to be paid at the time of the actual booking of the trip.
