WHAT WE PROvIDE In RETuRn: 1. Price Guarantee The D.o.T. has defined air transportation, tour or tour component as purchased when the full amount of that air transportation, tour or tour component has been paid by the consumer. our intention is to provide you with the vacation which you have selected, at the price in effect at time of booking. If for any reason we have to increase the price of your vacation, including an error made in computing your price, we will offer you the option of cancellation without charge, provided that you advise us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the increase. Pre-purchase price increases (increases to a vacation package without full payment on the record) including but not limited to an increase in the price of the air seat, an increase in the price for the carriage of the passenger baggage, an increase in the applicable fuel surcharge, or an increase in a government imposed tax or fee may apply. Post-purchase price increases (increases to a vacation package that has full payment on the record) are prohibited except for those increases related to government imposed taxes and fees. Change fees do not constitute an increase in the price of an already purchased ticket, as technically the consumer is purchasing a new ticket for new travel. 2. Flight Information your travel consultant will be able to confirm the latest flight details at the time you make your reservation, and these will also appear on the booking confirmation we issue when we receive your deposit. your flight tickets, which we dispatch when your booking is paid in full, or your electronic documents, will contain your flight information. All times are subject to change. It is your responsibility to reconfirm your flight times prior to departing for the airport.

Pre-assigned seat selection is at the discretion of the air carrier and may require payment of an additional fee. 3. Amendments & cancellation Special features offered by hotels are subject to change at the hotel's discretion. In the unlikely event that a major change involving a pre- departure change of hotel, departure or return date, departure city or destination becomes necessary, we will notify you as soon as possible. If you find the revised arrangements we offer unacceptable, you will have the option of cancellation without charge provided that you notify us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the change (or prior to departure date if notified less than seven days prior). In the event of a change, we will try to substitute comparable services, but in the event of complete cancellation by us or a supplier, our only liability will be to return all monies paid (public charters only). For public charter flights only, if landing rights are denied by a foreign government, the flight will be cancelled with a full refund. 4.
