As a Travel Agency we may not always have full access to the property's inventory. If you cannot find availability for a particular property or room type on our website, please contact us via live chat or email <a href="mailto:support@travala.com">support@travala.com</a> so we can check with all of our suppliers and let you know.

Why I cannot find this hotel/room on your site?

Date amendment
If your booking is still outside the property's amendment penalty window and there is availability for your new dates, we are usually able to amend your dates, subject to any additional amount due if the room rate changes. Please reach out to us at <a href="mailto:support@travala.com">support@travala.com</a>, we will check and advise you accordingly.
Extending your stay
Extending your stay whereby you wish to add more nights to the current reservation, means your current reservation would need to be cancelled (in accordance with the cancellation penalty) and a new reservation at the current rates would need to be made. This could mean potentially having to pay a lot more if the room rate has changed. In this case, we recommend that you make a new reservation only for the additional nights and put a note in the reservation for the property to keep you in the same room. Please keep in mind that this is subject to the property's approval.

How can I amend or extend my stay?

We assume the issue you are referring to is Google Authenticator (2FA). Please check this <a href="https://help.travala.com/knowledge/articles/20910124084249/en-us?brand_id=360001912492" target="_self">article</a> first to make sure you transfer your Google Authenticator app in the right way.
There are few reasons why you could not log in using your Google Authenticator (2FA) after switching your phones: 
1. Time is out of sync
The 2FA codes generated by the Google Authenticator app are time based. The time on your phone must be in sync with your local timezone. Example, if your local time is 18:00hrs, the time on your phone must also display 18:00hrs. 
If your phone and local time are out of sync, it is recommended to change the time setting on your phone from 'manual' to 'automatic'. Your phone will detect your local time and update the time setting on your phone automatically. 
2. Other Common 2FA Issues
A useful resource to find solutions for other common 2FA issues is the Google self-help guide, <a href="https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185834?hl=en#zippy=%2Cuse-backup-options%2Crecover-your-account" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fix common issues with 2-step Verification</a>. 
3. Backup Code
If you are still experiencing issues, you can use the backup code to disable the Google Authenticator (2FA) for <a href="http://travala.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Travala.com</a> and then set up a new code.  
4. Don't know your backup code?
If you do not have access to your backup code, as a last resort, we can disable the 2FA from your account, kindly contact us at <a href="mailto:support@travala.com" target="_self">email.</a> It is important to remember the verification is a security step to protect your account. The removal of the 2FA may leave your account vulnerable to unauthorised access.

Why can I log in after switching my phone?

To move your Google Authenticator (2FA) to a new device, please follow the below steps:
<ol>
<li>At the top right corner, click on the Hamburger button. <img src="https://help.travala.com/hc/article_attachments/21003124723097" alt="IMG_2279.JPG" width="201" height="435">

Where permitted we will finalise your check-in and forward your boarding passes when released by the airline. Generally airlines tend to release boarding passes closer to flight departure, within 48hrs of departure.
Otherwise, if you prefer, you can try to finalise your check-in directly on the airlines website. You will require your airline reference which is located on your emailed travel itinerary.
