My flight or stay is waiting for manual processing
For flights and stays, "waiting for manual processing" is a normal confirmation step where your booking is finalized with the airline or property. It does not mean your payment failed.
What to expect
Most bookings confirm within minutes. In some cases it can take up to about an hour.
If your travel is soon
If your flight or stay is imminent and the booking is still processing, don't wait. Contact us through the help page with your order ID and booking details. For flights, the fastest route to changes is the live chat in your order history, which connects you directly with Duffel support.
