Yes. Garber | FCm guarantees your tickets will be issued at the lowest fare available in our global distribution system, Sabre, in accordance with their EAS Solution, as well as your travel policy at the time of ticketing. In the event we do not offer the lowest fare, we will reimburse the difference unless the traveler refused that fare. Additionally, we supplement the EAS Solution by employing desktop technologies to search for other airline internet fares which may be available. If a lower class of service or fare is requested but not available, our Quality Control Systems will check and recheck the reservation for waitlist clearance or lower fares.
