Booking fees will apply to every ticket and all passengers (except infants who are below 2 years of age).
Additionally, the booking fees tend to be non-refundable, except in cases where the flight is canceled by the airline or if the flight is more than 5 hours late and you decide not to travel in it. Keep in mind that booking fees will differ from one country to another, as well as the issuing and sales channel (agency or online) and the type of flight (short-haul, medium-haul, or long-haul).
