On receipt of your request and deposit we will confirm
you booking and from that point cancellation charges
will apply, and send you a confirmation with details
of your arrangements. Please note that a telephone
booking confirmation is as firmly confirmed as if
it were made/confirmed in writing at that time.
2. PRICE GUARANTEE
CHARTER FLIGHT ARRANGEMENTS: - The price shown on
this confirmation invoice will not be subject to any
surcharges. SCHEDULED FLIGHT ARRANGEMENTS:- As scheduled
airlines reserve the right to increase prices at any
time the price shown on this confirmation invoice
will ONLY be guaranteed once full payments is received
before due date of payment. The payment of a deposit
guarantees your seat, not the price.

3. MINOR CHANGES TO YOUR HOLIDAY
If we are obliged to make any minor change in the
arrangements for your holiday we will inform you as

If before you depart we have to make any major change
to your holiday arrangements e.g. change of departure
time of more than 12 hours, change of airport(but
excluding changes between airports in London region,
aircraft type airline) it will only be because we
are forced to do so by circumstances usually beyond
our control. In such an unlikely event we will inform
you immediately and our objective will be to minimise
your inconvenience. We will wherever possible offer
you alternative arrangements as close as possible
to your original choice. You will then have a choice
of accepting, taking another available holiday of
similar price or cancelling. Should you choose to
cancel you will be reimbursed all monies paid to us.
5. GROUP HOLIDAYS
Some of our holidays are based on minimum number of
participants and in the unlikely event that these
numbers are not reached we reserve the right to cancel
the tour and refund all payments made. Prices are

checking this and all future documentation and for
advising us immediately if anything is missing or
incorrect.
The details overleaf are given in good faith based
on information from the Principal at the time of
booking. Should it transpire that any of these details
differ you will be advised immediately.
PAYMENT

the confirmation. Please note that for some telephone
bookings full payment may be required IMMEDIATELY
i.e. before you receive confirmation. If this applies
you will be advised when the booking is made. It
is very important that you pay balances when due
because failure to do so may lead to the cancellation
of your holiday and still leave you liable to the
cancellation charges. Where an extra ‘’booking

needs, we must reserve the right to decline/cancel
