RESERVATIONS/PAYMENT/LATE BOOKINGS For availability and confirmation of your chosen vacation package, see your travel agent, visit us at applevacations.com or call 1-800-517-2000. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations require you to provide your full name, date of birth, and gender at the time of booking for the purpose of watch-list screening. Failure to provide this information will result in you not being allowed to travel. For details, visit www.tsa.gov. Once your reservation is confirmed with Apple, the amendment and cancellation charges as explained in the Fair Trade Contract will apply. Full payment is required at time of booking for bookings made directly on our website, applevacations.com and credit cards are the only acceptable form of payment. Note: If your reservation includes children at a hotel not accepting children, you will be denied check-in at resort. You will be responsible for any additional costs. We advise you to book early for best choice and value. Late bookings will incur a late booking fee of $10 per person on all reservations made 14 days or less before departure to cover additional costs for faxing, updating and confirming your accommodations. SPECIAL REQUESTS Apple Vacations will provide the services and facilities of your vacation package as described in our catalog and confirmed on your invoice. If you would prefer special arrangements other than those described, such as adjoining rooms, specific assistance needed or special meals, we will be glad to pass on your special request to the appropriate vendor on your behalf. However, since these requests lie outside our contracts with our suppliers, Apple Vacations cannot guarantee special requests unless otherwise stated. ITEMS NOT INCLUDED Laundry, telephone calls, other items and services of a personal nature, and tips to airport baggage handlers are not included in the price of your vacation. Unless specified, wines, liquors, meals, sightseeing and excursions are also not included in the price of your vacation. Local resort fees and charges for daily parking may apply and are payable directly to the hotel upon check-out. TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN Infants under two years of age may fly and stay free, but must sit on an adult's lap and do not receive a separate baggage allowance. If an infant reaches the age of two any time during the vacation, federal law requires the purchase of a separate seat for any remaining portions of the flight. Some scheduled airlines may charge for infants, including air-related taxes, and some countries charge infant departure taxes. Any such charges by independent suppliers or governments are the responsibility of the client. Restrictions may apply to "Kids Stay, Play and Eat FREE" programs and most hotels require that children must be accompanied by full- paying adults and pay airfare. Policies vary by individual hotels. AIRPORT CHECK-IN/BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE Check in begins three hours prior to departure at the airline ticket counter. Under no circumstances should you check-in later than one hour prior to departure. Late check-in WILL result in you not being allowed to travel. Many airlines are charging fees for checked and/or carry-on bags and have different baggage allowances and fees. Please check with your airline for specifics. Carry-on luggage is limited to one bag per person and must be small enough to fit beneath the seat in front of you; some airlines have a carry-on bag fee. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT EXCESS/OVERSIZED BAGGAGE MAY BE DENIED AT CHECK-IN and if accepted, there will be additional charges. Anyone attempting to check-in excess baggage should arrive at the ticket counter a minimum of 3 hours prior to departure, or risk being denied boarding. Lap children under age two do not receive a separate baggage allowance. Apple Vacations accepts no liability for loss or damage to luggage. We recommend that you use a TSA approved lock to secure your luggage. For details on baggage insurance, see your travel agent.

INDEPENDENT SUPPLIERS Apple Vacations contracts with airlines, hotels and other independent suppliers to provide you with the services you purchase. We do not accept and expressly disclaim responsibility for the acts or omissions of these independent suppliers. CREDIT CARDS MasterCard,Visa and American Express cards are accepted throughout the Hawaiian Islands. RENTAL CAR OPTION If you have a rental car, remember to claim your own baggage before leaving the airport. Your baggage is not transferred. In addition, please note that each car day is for a 24-hour period only. Additional overtime charges upon returning your car may apply depending on your flight departure time. For example,if you pick up your rental car at 11am, you must return it no later than 11am on the day that it is due to be returned to avoid overtime charges. You may pre-purchase the car for an additional day to avoid these charges, if necessary. Minimum age for renters is 21 years. All drivers between the ages of 21 to 24, and any additional drivers will be charged a daily surcharge to be paid directly to Dollar Rent A Car. Optional insurance and fuel plans are available and must be paid directly to Dollar Rent A Car. All renters must have a major credit card. If not, please ask about cash qualification requirements at the Dollar Rent A Car counter. HOTEL CHECK-IN Normal check-in time is 3pm. Since most hotels require a deposit to cover incidental expenses, be prepared to provide a cash deposit or an imprint of your credit card. In order to obtain hotel accommodations, simply present your Apple travel voucher at the hotel front desk. NIGHTS IN YOUR HOTEL The "Nights in Hotel" listed on your confirmation/travel voucher indicates the number of nights that your room has been reserved for you. If your return flight departs late evening, it is normal for your hotel to require that you check out of your room at midday. In these cases, a room MAY be made available for storing hand baggage and for changing prior to departure. However, this is at the discretion of the hotel.
