How fixed journeys work
Fixed journeys are for travellers who want a clear route without starting from a blank questionnaire. You choose the product, inspect the itinerary, then JadeDays confirms departure availability and the final quote before payment.
01
02
Departure dates and supplier availability are confirmed from the product detail page. JadeDays checks seats, rooms, local guides, domestic transport and the final quote.
03
Payment comes after availability and quote confirmation, through Stripe's secure hosted checkout. JadeDays never stores your card details.
Dates and payment
This overview is for comparison. Once you have chosen a journey, date checks and the A$600 deposit are handled from that journey's detail page.
Support on the ground
Jade Days Pty Ltd — an Australian company, ABN 74 698 382 142. Payments run through Stripe's hosted checkout, and your A$600 deposit is credited toward the balance. A founder replies to every enquiry within one business day.
