The following Booking Conditions, together with our Privacy
Policy and where your holiday is booked via our website, our Website Terms of
Use, together with the 'Frequently Asked Questions' contained on our website
and any other written information we brought to your attention before we
confirmed your booking, form the basis of your contractual relationship with Travelwhitelabel(The
Company). Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and
obligations. Your contract is with Travelwhitelabel (The Company) whose
registered office is at Office 5497 182-184 High Street North, London, East

In these booking conditions references to: “we”, “our” and
“us” are to Flypeace; and “you” and “your” are to all persons named on the
booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date).
Please Note: We act in the following capacities, as a
Package Organiser in the sale of a Package Holiday (please see Clause 25 for
further details) and as a Principal in the sale of a ‘single service’ booking
(i.e. accommodation or flight only booking). As a result, our obligations to
you will vary depending upon whether you book a Package Holiday with us or
whether you make a single service booking. We have tried to set out our
differing obligations below as clearly as possible:
(A) Section A contains the conditions that will apply to all
bookings you make with us;
(B) Section B contains the conditions which will apply when
you make a Package Holiday booking with us where we act as the Package
Organiser; and
(C) Section C contains the conditions which will apply where
you make a single-service booking with us, where we act as Principal.
SECTION A – APPLICABLE TO ALL BOOKINGS
1. Your Holiday Contract
When you make a booking with Travelwhitelabel, the person
making the booking will be the ‘Lead Passenger’. As the Lead Passenger, you
agree on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking that:
. They have read these Booking Conditions and have the
authority and does agree to be bound by them,
· they consent to our use of personal data in accordance
with our Privacy Policy and you are authorised on behalf of all persons named
on the booking to disclose their personal details to us, including where
applicable special categories of data (such as information on health conditions
or disabilities and dietary requirements);
· they are at least 18 years of age and where placing an
order for services with age restrictions declares that they and all members of
their party are of the appropriate age for such services;
· You accept financial responsibility for payment of the
booking on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking.
A binding contract will exist as soon as we take a deposit
and issue a confirmation invoice.
Note – when booking travel arrangements in the US there are
minimum age requirements. For example, you must be over the age of 21 to check
into hotel(s). If you are not, you must ensure that at least one member of your
party is over the age of 21 at check-in. We will not be liable if you/your
party cannot check-in due to you/all members of your party being under the age
of 21 at the time of check-in. You must be at least 21 years of age to rent a
car in the US, however some rental agencies will not rent a car to anyone under
the age of 25. You will be notified of this before we confirm your booking. If
you book contrary to this requirement and subsequently cancel or request
changes to your booking our amendment charges (Clause 27 for Package bookings
and Clause 32 for single-service bookings) or cancellation charges (Clause 28
for Package bookings and Clause 32 for single-service bookings) will apply as
applicable.
2. Booking Confirmation / Travel Documentation
Important: Please carefully review your confirmation,
eticket and all other documentation supplied in relation to your booking as it
is your responsibility to check that the information on your confirmation
invoice is correct and to inform us immediately of any discrepancy. It is
likely that the price of your travel arrangements will have increased since the
time of booking and we regret that we are unable to accept any liability if we
are not immediately notified of any inaccuracy. Although we will endeavour to
assist and rectify any errors you will be responsible for any costs involved as
detailed in clause 26 of these terms.
We rely on the information that you provide as being
accurate and therefore cannot be held responsible if your e-tickets do not
arrive due to an incorrect email address. You must inform us immediately of a
change of address, telephone number and email address. It is highly recommended
that you provide a mobile telephone number to us at the time of booking as this
will allow us to contact you more easily to inform you of any changes or
cancellations we become aware of.
You should ensure that you have a copy of your travel
document email with your booking confirmation, e tickets and any other travel
documentation (including your passport and relevant visa, if required) at all
times. We will not be liable should any supplier not provide you with the
booked product or service if you do not provide the appropriate documentation.
3. Your Financial Protection
We provide full financial protection for our package
holidays and our single service bookings by way of our Air Travel Organiser’s
Licence number 11434, issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, Gatwick Airport
South, West Sussex, RH6 0YR, UK, telephone 0333 103 6350, e-mail
[email protected] When you buy an ATOL protected flight inclusive package from
Travelwhitelabel you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is
financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you
and who to contact if things go wrong. Further information relating to the
protection offered on your package holiday can be found here
https://www.caa.co.uk/ATOL-protection/Air-travel-trust/About-the-Air-Travel-Trust.
We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate,
will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a
suitable alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able to do so for reasons
of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you
have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to
accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform
those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you
under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree
that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL
holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL
scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).
If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate,
are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through
an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the
Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on)
you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or
benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or
may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services,
including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where
applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another
body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.
4. Your Holiday Price and Payment
We reserve the right to alter the prices of any of the holidays
on our website. You will be advised the current price at the time of the
holiday that you wish to book before your contract is confirmed.
When you make your booking you will be asked to pay a
deposit per person, we will notify you of the deposit amount at the time of
booking and in some cases you will be asked for full payment but you will be
advised at the time of booking. The balance must be paid 30-45 days before your
departure date unless (i) a ticketing time limit is implemented by the respective
airline in which case our service team will contact you to advice of the
revised payment date or (ii) the due date shown on your confirmation invoice is
different. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we shall cancel
your travel services. If the balance is not paid in time we shall retain your
deposit. Payments can be made by credit or debit card by logging into www.travelwhitelabel.com
or by calling us on 0208 965 0364. If you are sending a cheque, please allow 7
working days for clearance. We reserve the right to return your deposit of
amount paid and decline to issue a booking confirmation at our absolute
discretion.
Please note: any refunds that may be due to you will be
refunded using the original payment method and if you have paid by credit or
debit card, it will be refunded to the same card that was used for the booking.
5. Insurance
It is a condition of your contract with us that you have
adequate travel insurance in place to cover you and your party against the cost
of cancellation by you, the cost of assistance (including your repatriation) in
the event of accident, illness, death, loss of baggage and possessions. It is
your responsibility to ensure that you have adequate travel insurance in place,
we will not be responsible for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of
which insurance cover would otherwise have been available. In respect of any
lost or damaged luggage, you must fill out a claim form with the relevant
airline within 24 hours
6. Events Beyond Our Control
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking
Conditions, we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation if our
contractual obligations to you are affected by Events Beyond Our Control. For
the purposes of these Booking Conditions, Events Beyond Our Control means any
event beyond our or our supplier’s control, the consequences of which could not
have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples
include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, epidemics,
pandemics and significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious
disease at the travel destination (including the ongoing effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic), natural disasters
such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to
travel safely to the travel destination or remain at the travel destination,
the act of any government or other national or local authority including port
or river authorities, industrial dispute, labour strikes, lock closure, natural
or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, unavoidable
technical problems with transport and all similar events outside our or the
supplier(s) concerned’ s control.
Brexit Implications: please note that certain travel
services may be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave
the European Union. This could include an unavailability of certain flight
routes, access to certain ports and airports etc. Please rest assured that this
is something we will continue to monitor and will advise our customers as soon
as possible if we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected.
However, since this is something which is completely unprecedented and outside
our control, we would treat any such changes as Events Beyond Our Control, and
whilst we will endeavour to provide suitable alternative arrangements or
refunds where possible, we will not be liable to pay you any compensation.
7. Cutting Your Booking Short
If you are forced to return home early where we are unable
to provide the travel arrangements due to Events Beyond Our Control and we are
not able to offer a suitable alternative, we will refund the cost of any travel
arrangements you have not used. If you cut short your booking and return home
early in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about
the standard of the travel services provided we will not offer you any refund
for the arrangements you have not used or be liable for any associated costs
you may incur. Depending on the circumstances, your travel insurance may offer
cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.
8. If You Have A Complaint
We always endeavour to deliver the highest standard of
customer service but if you have any dissatisfaction regarding your travel
services they should be reported to the relevant travel service provider or
their local supplier or agent (“Travel Service Provider”) without undue delay
who will endeavour to put things right. If they are unable to resolve your disappointment,
then it is your responsibility to contact our Customer Service Department on
0208 965 0364 for assistance.
If your complaint is not resolved locally by the Travel
Service Provider or Travelwhitelabel whilst in resort, we require that you
raise the issue within 28 days of your return home by writing to our Customer
Relations Department at Travelwhitelabel Office 5497 182-184 High Street North,
London, E6 2JA giving your booking reference and all other relevant information
and supporting documentation. Failure to follow the procedures set out in this
clause means we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and
rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your
rights under this contract.
9. Passport, Visa and Immigration Requirements
Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other
immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these
with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept responsibility
if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or
immigration requirements.
Note: Clients not holding passports marked “British Citizen”
must check the applicable requirements with the respective Embassy or Consulate
of the countries they are visiting or the British Foreign Office. Please ensure
that you comply with the applicable passport and visa requirements and that you
allow sufficient time to obtain them. Machine readable passports are required
for all travellers to or via the U.S. All children must have their own
passports especially when travelling to the U.S. All passports must be valid
for at least six (6) months by the end of your journey. Note: Clients
travelling to the U.S. must apply for their visa prior to departure on the following
website https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov (there will be a minor charge for this
service). Although most travel, including travel to international destinations,
is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve
greater risk than others. Travelwhitelabel advises customers to review any
travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by The
Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Travel Advice Unit prior to
booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in
various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular
international destinations can be found from the following sources:
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice
BY OFFERING TRAVEL PRODUCTS IN PARTICULAR INTERNATIONAL
DESTINATIONS, FLYPEACE DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT TRAVEL TO SUCH AREAS
IS ADVISABLE OR WITHOUT RISK.
Recommended inoculations for travel may change at any time
and you should consult with your doctor or the appropriate Embassy or Consulate
for up to date information. It is your responsibility to ensure that you obtain
all the necessary inoculations in relation to your trip. Further information on
country specific health advice can be found at
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.
10. Flights Details
Details of airlines, flight numbers and destination airport
will be shown on your booking confirmation. Please note that no airline is able
to guarantee departure times and these may change due to weather conditions,
air traffic control restrictions or technical/operational problems. Travelwhitelabel
is not liable for any change to a departure/arrival time previously shown on
your confirmation. It is for this reason that you are required to reconfirm
your flight departure time 72 hours before departure with the airline concerned
and to complete online check in accordance with the applicable airline’s
procedures. Travelwhitelabel is also unable to make any special arrangements
for passengers if the flight is delayed as this is the sole responsibility of
the carrying airline &/or their ground handling agent. We regret that we
are unable to guarantee specific aircraft types or seat allocation. Flights
described as “direct” will not necessarily be non–stop. If you book a return
journey and do not use the outward flight without contacting the carrier
directly, the airline may cancel the return flight without refund. All flight
tickets must be used in sequence.
11. "No Shows"
Where a confirmed booking has been made for any travel
service including flights, car hire, accommodation and packages but is not
utilised (for example you fail to (i) check in for your flight /accommodation
or (ii) collect your rental vehicle) a refund may not be available and
cancellation charges of up to 100% may be applied by the relevant supplier. For
flights it may be possible to obtain a refund of the departure tax that was
paid for the flight.
12. EU Community list
In accordance with EU regulations, details of air carriers
that are subject to an operating ban within the European Community is available
at https://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/air/safety/air-ban_en
13. Special Requests, Medical Conditions and Disability
If you have any special requests (e.g. low/high floor,
specific dietary requirements etc.) please advise us at the time of booking.
Although we will forward any such requests to the relevant supplier (e.g.
hotel, airline etc.) we regret that we cannot guarantee that they will be able
to meet your request. We will not be liable to pay you compensation for failing
to provide a special request unless we have confirmed to you in writing that
your special request will be met.
Please note:
accommodation providers are not able to guarantee interconnecting rooms
upon request and airlines cannot guarantee any seats you have booked. If you
have paid extra for a seat that has not been provided to you, we will arrange
with the airline to refund you this cost. If you or any member of your party
has any medical condition or disability which may affect your booking arrangements
you must advise us, in writing, at the time of booking giving us full details
so we can try to advise you as to the suitability of your chosen arrangements.
Acting reasonably, if we are unable to properly accommodate your particular
needs, we will reserve the right to decline your booking but obviously every
effort will be made to assist, wherever possible. If you did not give us full
details at the time of booking, we will cancel it and impose applicable
cancellation charges when we become aware of these details.
14. Ticket Dispatch
Your travel documents will be emailed to the Lead Passenger
approximately 10-14 days prior to departure but will not be released until we
have received full payment from you. For your flights you can now check in online
up to 24 hours prior to your scheduled departure or in person at the airport
with just your passport and airline reference. An eticket is a paperless
electronic ticket, it is paperless because when you book the details are
automatically stored in the airlines booking system so there is no need to send
you a paper ticket.
15. Credit Cards
It is mandatory that you or a member of your party travel
with a recognised credit card as you may be requested to pay a deposit by your
Travel Service Provider (including, but not limited to, at hotel check in or
car hire collection) (the level of deposit required will vary by Travel Service
Provider). Your Travel Service Provider may process an authorisation request to
the applicable credit card provider and/or place a hold on the applicable
credit card to cover any monies owed at the end of your stay for this purpose
(including, but not limited to, charges for room service, mini bar items and
fuel deficit). Please ensure that the applicable credit card provider is
informed before you travel abroad and that the credit card being used has a
suitable credit limit.
The applicable credit card provider may charge a fee for
cross border/international transactions and/or apply a foreign currency
conversion feePlease check with the applicable credit card provider for further
information on the types of fees it charges.
16. Map/Distance Disclaimer
Please note that the information as to the distance from the
city centre and the location of the hotel on the maps provided are for
indicative purposes only. If you require the hotel to be within a certain
distance from the city centre or near a particular location, we recommend that
you check on the hotel’s own website.
17. Behaviour
It is the Lead Passengers responsibility to ensure that you
and all members of your party do not behave in a way which causes offence,
distress, danger or annoyance to others or which risks damage to the property
or belongings of others (including but not limited to drunkenness and air
rage). In such circumstances, our suppliers (e.g. hotel, airlines, transfer
agent etc.) have the right to terminate any arrangement made on your behalf in
which case our responsibility to you will cease immediately. We will have no
further obligations to you and/or your party. No refunds for lost accommodation
or any other Travel Service will be made and we will not pay any expenses or
costs incurred as a result of termination. Further, you and/or your party may
also be required to pay for loss and/or damage caused by your actions and we
will hold you and each member of your party jointly and individually liable for
any damage or losses caused. Full payment for any such damage or losses must be
paid directly to the Travel Service Provider prior to your departure. If you
fail to make payment, you will be liable to reimburse us for any expense and
claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against us as a result of your
actions, together with all costs we incur in pursuing any claim against you.
We cannot be held responsible for the actions or behaviour
of other guests or individuals who have no connection with your booking
arrangements or with us,
18. Departure Taxes
It is not always possible to include all departure taxes on
your ticket – in some cases departure taxes must be paid locally and these are
payable to the Government of the country departed from and are non-refundable.
19. Pre-travel advice
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Travel Advice Unit
may have issued information about your holiday destination. You are advised to
check this information on their website www.fco.gov.uk
Advice from the Foreign Office to avoid or leave a
particular country may constitute Events beyond Our Control (see Clause 6).
20. Hotel and Cruise Ship ratings
The ratings featured in any Travelwhitelabel web site are
offered as a general guide and do not necessarily represent any official
grading system. Actual standards may vary between hotels of the same grade in
different countries and even in the same country. Different countries have
different standards; a 5* hotel in one country is not necessarily equivalent to
a 5* hotel in another country. Travelwhitelabel endeavours to provide
photographs and illustrations that give the Customer a depiction of the
Services offered. The purpose of these photographs and illustrations is to show
the Customer the level of accommodation and the degree of comfort, and they
must not be considered to be making any representation that exceeds this
purpose. Please note that the hotels and cruise ships booked by us for you are
not exclusive to Travelwhitelabel. We are not responsible for any limitation in
facilities because of other hotel, or ship guests or their activities. Travelwhitelabel
does not take responsibility for hotel or ship content (including images,
facility listings etc.) displayed on our website. Hotels and ships may change
facilities and property features without prior notification to Travelwhitelabel.
Images of room or cabin types do not necessarily represent the bed
configuration of the room being purchased. For example, a quad room in North
America may invariably consist of two double beds and a room for two will be
one double although in Europe this may be two single beds. Also, there may be
an additional charge for extra beds or cots. Therefore, if you have a special
requirement please inform us at the time of booking and any special request
will be forwarded to the supplier for consideration but is not guaranteed by us
and does not form any part of our contract with you.
21. Special Offers
Please note that where special offers are highlighted these
are generally based on sharing existing beds in the room. If you do require a
separate bed this must be requested at the point of booking, as additional
charges may apply. For special offer meal plans “Kids Stay and Eat Free” this
refers to the board basis of the overall reservation. Where a booking is for Half
Board therefore the meal plan of the child will be half board.
22. Excursions
Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay
for locally whilst you are on holiday are not part of your package holiday
provided by us. For any excursion or other tour that you book locally your
contract will be with the operator of the excursion and not with us and we will
not be held responsible for the provision of these excursions or tours or for
anything that happens during the course of these where they are purchased
locally.
23. Data Protection and Privacy
For full details of our data protection and privacy policy
and an explanation of how your personal details will be used by us please refer
to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
If you have booked a holiday you will still receive an email
or other confirmatory material and booking data confirming your booking details
and even if you have exercised your right to opt out of further communication
as these are necessary to process your booking.
24. Law and Jurisdiction
This booking is governed by English Law and the jurisdiction
of the English Courts. You may, however, choose the law and jurisdiction of
Scotland or Northern Ireland if you live there and wish to do so.
SECTION B – PACKAGE HOLIDAY BOOKINGS
This section only applies to Package Bookings, where we are
acting as the Package Organiser (please see clause 25 for further details of
when this will be the case). Please read this section in conjunction with
Section A of these Booking Conditions.
25. Definition of a Package
Where your booking is for a Package itinerary that we have
organised, as defined below, we will act as a “Package Organiser” and you will
receive the rights and benefits under the Package Travel and Linked Travel
services Regulations 2018 (“PTRs”), as outlined in this Section B of these
Booking Terms and Conditions.
A “Package itinerary” exists if you book a combination of
two of the following separate travel services:
(a) transport;
(b) accommodation;
(c) rental of cars, motor vehicles or motorcycles (in
certain circumstances);
(d) any other tourist service not intrinsically part of one
of the above travel services;
provided that those separate travel services are purchased
together from a single visit to our website / during a single phone call with
our telephone booking line and are selected by you before you agree to pay; or
are advertised, sold or charged at an inclusive or total price; or advertised
or sold under the term “package” or a similar term.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that:
a. where you have booked a Package that lasts for less than
24 hours and which does not include overnight accommodation; or
b. where you have made a booking which consists of not more
than one type of the travel services listed at (a) – (c) above, combined with
one or more tourist services (as listed at (d) above), this will not create a
Package where the tourist services:
- do not account for 25% of the value of the combination and
are not advertised as, and do not otherwise represent, an essential feature of
the package; or
- are selected and purchased after the performance of the
transport, accommodation or car rental has started.These bookings will be
treated as “Single Service” bookings and will not be afforded the benefit of
the rights under the PTRs, please see Section C of these Booking Terms and
Conditions for the terms applicable to such arrangements.
26. Changes to Your Package Holiday Price
We reserve the right to change your holiday price after you
have booked, but only in certain circumstances:
Changes in the price of carriage of passengers resulting
from changes to the cost of fuel or other power sources, the levels of taxes or
fees chargeable for services applicable to the Package Holiday imposed by third
parties not directly involved in the performance of the Package, including
tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and
airports or exchange rates relevant to the Package mean that the price of your
holiday may change after you have booked. Such variations could include but are
not limited to airline cost changes which are part of our contracts with
airlines (and their agents), cruise ship operators and any other transport
providers.
We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase
equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel services which excludes amendment
charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an
administration charge of £1 per person. If this means that you have to pay an
increase of more than 8% of the price of your holiday (excluding any amendment
charges and/or additional services or travel services), you will have the
option of accepting a change to another package if we are able to offer one (if
this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it
is of a lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or
cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid except for any
amendment charges.
Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must
exercise your right to do so within 7 days from the issue date printed on your
final invoice. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the cost changes
mentioned above then any refund due will be paid to you. We will deduct from
this refund our administrative expenses incurred. However, please note that
travel services are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent
changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other
protection in place.
27. If You Change or Transfer Your Package Booking
If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish
to change your travel services in any way, for example your chosen departure
date or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it is
not always possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from
the Lead Passenger. You will be asked to pay an administration fee from £45.00
- £90.00(varies from booking to booking) per person and any further cost we
incur in making the alteration. You should be aware that these costs could
increase the closer to departure date that changes are made and you should
contact us as soon as possible. Where we are unable to assist you and you do
not wish to proceed with the original booking, we will treat this as a
cancellation by you and a cancellation fee may be payable in accordance with
Clause 28. Note: Certain travel services (e.g. flight tickets) may not be
changeable after a reservation has been made and any request to alter could
incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of this part of the arrangements.
Transfers of a Package Booking
If you or any member of your party is prevented from
travelling, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else (but it
should be noted that some suppliers, including airlines, consider any change of
name as a cancellation, thereby attracting cancellation fees of up to the full
value of the travel arrangement). You can transfer your booking to another
person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this booking, by giving
us notice in writing as soon as possible and no later than 7 days before
departure. Any outstanding balance payment must be paid to us, as well as an
amendment fee from £45.00 - £90.00(varies from booking to booking) per person
transferring and any additional fees, charges or other costs arising from the
transfer and the new traveller agrees to these booking conditions and all other
terms of the contract between us. Both you and the new traveller are jointly
and severally liable for paying all costs we incur in making the transfer. If
you are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges as set out in Clause
28 will apply in order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will
be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services. Please note:
airlines in particular sometimes charge a 100% cancellation fee for name
changes and the cost of a new flight.
28. If you cancel Your Package Holiday
You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel
services at any time. Written notification from the Lead Passenger must be
received at our offices and will only be effective from the date on which we
receive it. Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel services, you will
have to pay the applicable cancellation charges up to the maximum shown below.
Should one or more member of a party cancel, it may increase the per person
holiday price of those still travelling and you will be liable to pay this
charge.
Applicable Charges:
Period before your departure date in which you notify us
Cancellation Charge*
More than 12 weeks prior to departure
Loss of deposit
84-55 days prior to departure
50%
54-30 days prior to departure
75%
29- 0 days prior to departure
100%
Note: In some circumstances our holidays carry a 100%
cancellation fee as airlines &/or hotels may charge in full at the time of
booking. If this is applicable to your booking this will be stated on your
confirmation invoice.
If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the
terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges. Where
possible, we will deduct the cancellation charge(s) from any monies you have
already paid to us.
Cancellation by You due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary
Circumstances:
You have the right to cancel your confirmed itinerary before
departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event of “unavoidable and
extraordinary circumstances” occurring at your itinerary destination or its
immediate vicinity and significantly affecting the performance of the itinerary
or significantly affecting the transport arrangements to the destination. In
these circumstances, we shall provide you with a full refund of the monies you
have paid but we will not
be liable to pay you any additional compensation. Please
note that your right to cancel in these circumstances will only apply where the
Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against travel to your
destination or its immediate vicinity. For the purposes of this clause,
“unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” means warfare, acts of terrorism,
and significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease
at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or
weather conditions, which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel
destination.
This clause 28 outlines the rights you have if you wish to
cancel your booking. Please note that there is no automatic statutory right of
cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and
Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (Directive 2011/83/EU).
29. If We Change or Cancel Your Holiday
(i) If we change your holiday
It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your
travel services, but occasionally this may become necessary and we reserve the
right to do so at · accepting an offer of alternative travel services of a
lower standard, with a refund of the price difference between the original
arrangements and the alternative arrangements;
· accepting an offer of an alternative holiday comparable in
standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the
alternative is of a lower value); or
· cancelling your holiday booking and receiving a refund all
monies paid. Where a refund is paid you will also be entitled to the
compensation set out in clause 29 (iii) unless the significant change is due to
Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances.
You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our
offer. If we do not hear from you within 7 days, we will contact you again to
request notification of your choice. If you fail to respond again, we will
assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking
arrangements.
(ii) If we cancel your holiday
We also reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel
your travel services. However, we will not cancel your travel services less
than twelve (12) weeks prior to your departure date, except for Unavoidable and
Extraordinary Circumstances or failure by you to pay the final balance. We may
cancel your Package because the minimum numbers required for the package to
commence has not been reached. The minimum number applicable will be identified
in the holiday description together with the time limit for us to notify you if
the package has to be cancelled.
If your holiday is cancelled you will have the choice of:
· a refund of all the monies paid to us. Where a refund is
paid you will also be entitled to the compensation set out in clause 29(iii)
unless the cancellation is due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances;
or
· accepting an offer
of an alternative holiday of comparable standard, if available (we will refund
any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value).
(iii) Compensation any time.
Most of these changes will be minor and we will advise you
of them at the earliest possible opportunity. Minor changes include, but are
not limited to, alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12
hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same
or higher standard and changes of carriers.
If we are constrained by circumstances beyond our control to
alter significantly any of the main characteristics of your holiday, we will
inform you as soon as possible. A significant change for these purposes
includes for example, one that involves a change of UK airport (excluding
Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, and Stansted), a change of your accommodation to a
lower grade than booked or a change of resort location or a significant change
to your itinerary, missing out one or more destinations entirely. In these
circumstances you will have the choice of either:
· accepting the change;
If we make a significant change and you do not accept the
changes services and cancel your booking, or if we cancel your booking and no
alternative services are available and/or we do not offer one, the following
compensation will be payable:
Period before departure in which we notify you
Compensation we will pay to you
Over 12 weeks
£0 per person
84-55 days
£10 per person
54-30 days
£20 per person
29-0 days
£30 per person
This does not prevent you from claiming more if you are
entitled to do so.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We will not pay you compensation in the
following circumstances:
(a) where we make a minor change;
(b) where we make a significant change or cancel your
arrangements more than 12 weeks before departure;
(c) where we make a significant change and you accept those
changed services or you accept an offer of an alternative holiday;
(d) where we have to cancel your arrangements as a result of
your failure to make a full payment on time;
(e) where the change or cancellation by us arises out of
alterations to the confirmed booking requested by you;
(f) where we are forced to cancel or change your
arrangements due to Events Beyond Our Control (see Clause 6).
If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of
the arrangements that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will,
if possible, make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge and where
those alternative arrangements are of a lower standard, provide you with an
appropriate price reduction.
30. Our Liability to You for your Package Holiday
(1) We will accept responsible for the services we agree to
provide or arrange for you as an “organiser” under the PTRs, as set out below
and as such, we are responsible for the proper provision of all travel services
included in your package, as set out in your confirmation invoice. You must
inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance
of the travel services included in your package. If any of the travel services
included in your package are not performed in accordance with your holiday
contract, or are improperly performed, by us or the Travel Service Providers
and we don’t remedy or resolve your complaint within a reasonable period of
time, and this has affected the enjoyment of your package you may be entitled
to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. The level of such
price reduction or compensation will be calculated taking into consideration all
relevant factors such as but not limited to following the complaints procedure
as described in these Booking Conditions and the extent to which ours or our
employees’ or Travel Service Providers’ negligence affected the overall
enjoyment of your package. Please note that it is your responsibility to show
that we or the Travel Service Provider(s) have been negligent if you wish to
make a claim against us.
(2) However, we will not be liable or pay you compensation
for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim if
it is due to:
(a) The acts or omissions of the person affected;
(b) the acts or omissions of a third party unconnected with
the provision of the travel services in the package and which were unavoidable
or extraordinary; or
(c) Events Beyond Our
Control (as defined in Clause 6).
(3) Our liability will also be limited if we are found
liable under this clause to:
(a) Loss of and/or
damage to any luggage or personal possessions and money: the maximum amount we
will have to pay you in respect of these claims is an amount equivalent to the
excess on your insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person
in total because you are required to have adequate insurance in place to cover
any losses of this kind.
(b) Claims not falling under (a) above and which don’t
involve injury, illness or death: the maximum amount we will have to pay you in
respect of these claims is up to three times the price paid by or on behalf of
the person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable where
everything has gone wrong and you or your party has not received any benefit at
all from your booking.
(c) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the
travel services that make up your package, including the operating carrier or
transport company’s own ‘Conditions of Carriage’. These terms are incorporated
in this contract/your booking and you agree that these ‘Conditions of Carriage’
form part of your contract with us; and
(d) Claims in respect of international travel by air, sea
and rail, or any stay in a hotel: The extent of our liability will in all cases
be limited as if we were carriers under the appropriate Conventions, which
include, the Warsaw/Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens
Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne/Cotif Convention in respect
of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect to hotel arrangements,.
These limit the amount of and conditions under which compensation can be
claimed for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to
luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of the
extent of or the conditions under which compensation is to be paid under these
or any conventions. You acknowledge that all of these terms and conditions form
part of your contract with us and shall be deemed to be included by reference
into this contract.
(e) In any circumstances in which a carrier is liable to you
by virtue of EC 261/2004 (denied boarding and flight disruption), any liability
we may have to you under our contract with you, arising out of the same facts,
is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulations as if (for this
purpose only) we were a carrier.
(f) When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any
money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the Travel
Service Provider for the complaint or claim in question.
(4) It is a condition of our acceptance of liability under
this clause that you notify any claim to us and our Travel Service Provider(s)
strictly in accordance with the complaints procedure set out in these
conditions.
(5) Where any payment in made, the person(s) receiving it
(or their parent/guardian if under 18 years) must also assign to us or our
insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third party and must provide
ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require.
(6) Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any
damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description which: (i) on the
basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to
our accepting it, we could not have been foreseen you would suffer or incur if
we breached our contract with you, (ii) if it relates to any business or (iii)
if it is an indirect or consequential loss of any kind.
(7) We will not accept responsibility for services or
facilities which do not form part of our agreement or where they are not
advertised in our brochure. For example any excursion you book whilst away, or
any service or facility which your hotel or any other Travel Service Provider
agreed to provide for you.
You can ask for copies of the travel service contractual
terms, or the international conventions, from our offices at 38, High Street,
London, NW10 4LS.
(8) Under EU law (Regulations 261/2004) you have the rights
in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases
of denied boarding, cancellations or delay to flights. Full details of these
rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines.
However, reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a
refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation
from us is set out in Clause 29. If any payments to you are due from us, any
payment made to you by the airline or any other Travel Service Provider will be
deducted. If your airline does not comply with these rules and you require
further assistance you can contact the Civil Aviation Authority via their
website - Civil Aviation Authority. In some circumstances you may also be
entitled to recover reasonable expenses incurred (including accommodation,
meals/refreshments and up to two communications) from your airline. In order to
make a claim you should forward full details of expenses incurred along with
receipts and travel itinerary information directly to the airline for their
consideration.
(9) if it is impossible to ensure your return to your
departure point as scheduled due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary
Circumstances, we will bear the cost of necessary accommodation, if possible,
of equivalent category, for a maximum of three nights per person. The limit
doesn’t apply to persons with reduced mobility and any person accompanying
them, pregnant women and unaccompanied minors, or persons in need of specific
medical assistance, provided that you notified us of these needs at least 48
hours before the start of your holiday. For the purposes of this clause,
“unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” mean warfare, acts of terrorism,
significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at
the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or
weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely back to your
departure point.
Note - this entire clause 30 does not apply to any separate
contracts that you may enter into for excursions or activities whilst on
holiday.
31. Additional Assistance for Package Holidays
If you are in difficulty whilst on holiday and ask us to
help, we will provide such prompt assistance as is appropriate in the
circumstances. In particular, we will provide you with appropriate information
on health services, local authorities and consular assistance; and helping you
to find alternative arrangements and any necessary phone calls/emails. Where
you require assistance, which is not owing to any failure by us, our employees
or sub-contractors we will not be liable for the costs of any alternative
travel arrangements or other such assistance you require. Any supplier, airline
or other transport supplier may however pay for or provide refreshments and/or
appropriate accommodation and you should make a claim directly to them. Subject
to the other terms of these Booking Conditions, we will not be liable for any
costs, fees or charges you incur in the above circumstances, if you fail to
obtain our prior authorisation before making your own travel arrangements.
Furthermore, we reserve the right to charge you a fee for our assistance in the
event that the difficulty is caused intentionally by you or a member of your
party, or otherwise through your or your party’s negligence.
SECTION C – SINGLE SERVICE BOOKINGS
This section applies to all single service bookings that you
make with us (e.g. accommodation only) when we acting in a Principal capacity.

Conditions.
32. If you Change or Cancel your Single Service Booking
Changes:
If, after confirmation, you wish to change your booking in
any way, we will endeavour to make these changes if they are possible. Where we
can meet a request, all changes will be subject to payment of an amendment fee
of ] per person per change, as well as any costs and charges incurred by us
and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers in making this change. The
person to notify us of any change must be the Lead Passenger

may not be changeable after confirmation and any alteration may result in a
cancellation of up to 100% and the price of a new ticket.
Cancellations:
If you, or any member of your party, decides to cancel your
booking you must notify us in writing. Your notice of cancellation will only
take effect when it is received in writing by us at our offices and will be
effective from the date which we receive it. The person to notify us of any
cancellation must be the Lead Passenger.
Should one or more member of a party cancel, it may increase
the per person holiday price of those still travelling and you will be liable
to pay this increase.

will have to pay the cancellation charges as follows:

incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% for that part of the arrangements in
addition to the charges above.
This clause outlines the rights you have if you wish to
cancel your single service booking. Please note that there is no automatic
statutory right of cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information,
Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (Directive 2011/83/EU).
33. If We Change or Cancel Your Single Service Booking
We may in exceptional circumstances be required to cancel
your booking in which case a full refund of all monies will be made to you. We
regret we cannot meet any expenses or losses that you may incur as a result of
change or cancellation.
Very rarely, we may be forced due to Events Beyond Our
Control (please see clause 6) to change or cancel all or some of your
arrangements after your departure. If this situation does occur, we regret we
will be unable to make any refunds, pay you compensation or meet any costs or
expenses you incur as a result.
34. Our Responsibilities for your Single Service Booking
(1) Subject to the remainder of this clause, we have a duty
to select the suppliers of the services making up your booking with us with
reasonable skill and care. We have no liability to you for the actual provision
of the services, except in cases where it is proved that we have breached that
duty and damage to you has been caused. Therefore, providing we have selected
the suppliers/subcontractors with reasonable skill and care, we will have no
liability to you for anything that happens during the service in question or
any acts or omissions of the supplier, its employees or agents.
(2) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for
any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any
description if it results from:

if we are found liable under this clause;
(a) Loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal
possessions and money.

these claims is an amount equivalent to the excess on your insurance policy
which applies to this type of loss per person in total because you are required
to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind
(b) Claims not falling under (a) above and which don’t
involve injury, illness or death.
The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of
these claims is twice the price paid by you in total. This maximum amount will
only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you have not received any
benefit at all from your booking.
(4) It is a condition of our acceptance of liability under
this clause that you notify any claim to ourselves and our supplier(s) strictly
in accordance with the complaints procedure set out in these conditions.
(5) Where any payment is made, the person(s) receiving it
(and their parent or guardian if under 18 years) must also assign to ourselves
or our insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third party and must
provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably
require.
(6) Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any
damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description: (a) which on the
basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to
our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we
breached our contract with you; or (b) relate to any business; or (c) is an
indirect or consequential loss of any kind.

4. Awareness and Measures
In response to the Covid-19 global crises, each destination
has implemented their own health and safety measures and precautions in an
attempt to combat the spread of the disease. Specific regions and resorts have
also introduced their own health and safety measures in line with government
advice (local or national), depending on their capacity and ability to take
certain precautions. It is your responsibility make yourself aware of the
measures that are in place at the travel destination, as well as the resort/other
accommodation you have booked. Measures may also vary for each activity, tour
and other excursions you have booked.
Certain measures may be mandatory and it is essential you
and any members of your party comply with and respect any local and national
health and safety measures throughout the duration of your stay as you could
face penalties for failing to do so. Such measures may include, but are not
limited to, social distancing, the use of facemasks both indoors and/or
outdoors by staff and customers, a maximum number of households in
accommodation and/or certain other facilities, changes to entertainment options
or food/drink availability and restrictions on the use of certain facilities.
We will not be liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur from your
failure to comply with any mandatory requirements or measures.
Where possible, we will make you aware in advance of any
mandatory or advised measures that are in place at your travel destination
and/or in place at any of the services that make up your booking. However, it
is your responsibility to check the measures and precautions that are in place
at your travel destination and ensure you are checking these regularly before
your departure date. For further information, please visit
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice and search for the country you are
planning to travel to.
5. Entry Requirements and Requirements of Suppliers
It is your responsibility to check the entry requirements
for the travel destination(s), as many countries have introduced new and
additional entry requirements because of Covid-19.
Most airports require you to undergo a temperature check as
well as a visual health check before you check in for your flight and/or again
before you board your plane. Depending on your travel destination, or the
country you are travelling from, you may be required to complete and present
additional travel documentation before you travel detailing any destination you
have travelled through/visited in the 14 days preceding your departure date,
whether you have been in contact with anyone with Covid-19 in the 14 days
preceding your departure and your Covid-19 history. You may also be required to
present a negative PCR test before you are able to enter the country and will
be responsible for the cost of this test. If you fail to complete the above
when required, or if you fail any health check, you will be denied boarding and
entry to the country you were travelling to. We do not accept responsibility if
you cannot travel and are not liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur
if you have not complied with the requirements or if you fail any health check.
To allow for international travel, countries are now
introducing further measures that you will need to comply with after you have
entered the country. Such measures include the requirement undergo a second PCR
test several days after the first accepted negative test result and you will be
required to quarantine at your accommodation at your own expense until the
result of that second is negative. If the result of the second test is
positive, you will be subject to further quarantine at your accommodation at
your expense. Please note that all PCR tests will be at the cost of the
customer and we will not be liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur if
you are required to undergo additional tests or pay for additional
accommodation.
These entry requirements will differ for each country and
may change before your departure date. Therefore, it is important that you keep
up to date with the entry requirements and further requirements that are in
place for your travel destination.
Where possible, we will make you aware in advance of any
mandatory or advised measures that are in place at your travel destination, as
well as measures that your airline implements and any entry requirements you
should be aware of when you arrive at your destination. We will attempt to
notify you without delay if any of the entry requirements change before your
departure date but it is your responsibility to make yourself aware of the
above and regularly check for the most up to date information up until the
point of your departure. For further information on entry requirements, please
visit https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice and search for the country you
are planning to travel to.
6. Travel and Medical Insurance
It is a condition of your contract with us that you have
adequate travel insurance in place. Your insurance policy must include
provisions relating to Covid-19, covering you and members of your party for
situations including but not limited to, where you have been diagnosed with
Covid-19 before your departure date, where you have been in contact with
someone that has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and are required to self-isolate.
It must also cover you for Covid-19 related circumstances during your holiday,
for example, where you have been diagnosed or have been in contact with someone
who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 during your holiday. In these
circumstances, your policy should cover you for repatriation where necessary,
emergency medical expenses abroad and additional costs of accommodation and/or
transport if you need to self-isolate and extend your stay. Please ensure that
your insurance policy covers repatriation for you and all members of your party
if it is a group policy, otherwise each individual person will need their own
travel insurance policy to cover for repatriation as we will not be liable for
any additional costs, fees or charges incurred by you or any member of your
party in booking additional transport, including flights.
Please be aware that many insurance policies may be void in
full or in part if you choose to travel contrary to Foreign, Commonwealth and
Development Office (FCDO) advice and that some policies may exclude cover for
certain Covid-19 related risks or events, e.g. border closure or repatriation
related to FCDO advice against travel and/or the requirement to quarantine upon
your arrival into your country of origin. You should check the FCDO advice
regularly in relation to your travel destination(s) and you can sign up to
receive FCDO email alerts about updates by visiting
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/email-signup.
Important note: If you are a UK citizen travelling to an EU
country, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Switzerland then you may rely on
your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) that is valid until 31st December
2020. Customers who are visiting one of the above countries on 31st December
2020 may rely on the EHIC for the duration of that holiday to that country.
However, the EHIC will not be valid for UK citizens who commence travelling on
or after 1st January 2021 due to the UK’s decision to leave the European Union.
In the event you do become ill on holiday whilst your EHIC, the EHIC may not
provide the medical treatment that you would expect to receive from the National
Health Service (NHS) or under your healthcare insurance and it does not cover
repatriation to the UK as a result of illness so your travel insurance policy
should cover you for this.
