*Please inform the travel agency whether the date of departure is flexible, and—for example—the agency may suggest connections a day before/later. After providing such information, the ticket price may be more favourable. If the departing person does not mark the flexible date, they will be provided with a suggestion for the specific date of a trip selected by them.

In the process of purchasing air tickets, the deadlines for booking tickets are currently short, and in the case of the so-called ‘low-cost airlines,’ the price of the ticket changes dynamically, which is imposed by the airlines. Hence, please send your inquiries about a trip to WhyNotTravel only after submitting a WP or WS application to the International Relations Department.

Tickets are sent in an electronic form to the departing person’s email or delivered to the address of an indicated unit of the University of Silesia in Katowice, Sosnowiec, Chorzów or Cieszyn. The departing person does not pay for the ticket. All payments are handled by the International Relations Department.

If the journey by plane consists of several independent sections on different tickets, in the event of a delay or cancellation of one flight, the traveller loses further connections and bears the costs related to the further stage of the journey. When making single purchases on low-cost airlines’ websites, there is no guarantee of price or place on the next stages of your journey.

WhyNotTravel confirms the possibility of purchasing the ticket in the International Relations Department. The International Relations Department confirms the possibility of purchasing tickets in electronic form within the working hours 7.30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m.
