Can I book a taxi via Zeno?
Currently, Zeno only offers the booking of transfers (taxi/car service), but only in conjunction with flight bookings. This means that if you are seeking a taxi service independently, without the need for a flight, Zeno will not be able to assist you in that regard.

- Mass booking refers to the process of creating a reservation for a large group of travellers all at once. This feature is specifically designed to accommodate the needs of groups rather than individual travellers.
- Multi pax booking allows the creation of a single reservation for up to nine passengers.
Why can't I select seats for certain flights?
Sometimes, you might find that you’re unable to choose a seat on certain flights for a few reasons. One common reason is that your flight is part of a codeshare agreement (a partnership where one airline sells flights operated by another airline). In these cases, seat selection may be handled differently or might be limited. You may need to select your seat through the airline's website or by contacting them directly. Another possibility is the type of fare you’ve booked; some fare types don’t include the option to select seats in advance. If you can’t pick a seat beforehand, the airline will usually assign one to you during check-in, either online or at the airport.
How can I join a flight waitlist?
Zeno does not currently provide the option to join a flight waitlist. If you'd like to be added to a waitlist for a specific flight, please get in touch with your travel expert. They will be able to assist you with the process and ensure your request is properly handled. Please contact your travel expert for further assistance with waitlisting options and availability.
Why am I getting a travel policy violation error message?
The error message appears when a traveller/travel arranger attempts to make a booking that does not comply with the established travel policy of their company.

What is a partially failed booking, a partially failed reservation, or a partially successful booking?
A partially failed (or partially successful) booking occurs when one part of a booking is completed successfully, but another part fails. This most commonly happens in bookings that include Pay Now content or direct-connect/API partners (for example, Sounds Air, Jetstar, or Booking.com), where the airline or supplier may confirm the booking even though Zeno cannot complete the full booking process.
When this happens, Zeno displays a message advising that only part of the booking was created. These bookings are saved as Draft so the TMC can review what was successfully booked, identify which segments were created, and complete the remaining parts of the booking on the traveller’s behalf.
This process helps prevent duplicate bookings. If the message is ignored and the booking is resubmitted, the supplier may create another confirmed booking, resulting in duplicate reservations, multiple charges, or held inventory that later needs to be cancelled.
If you see this message, DO NOT submit the booking again. Contact your travel expert so they can check what was already booked and complete or correct the booking safely.
