LEGAL STUFF AND OTHER INFORMATION
YOU MUST KNOW:
ü
Please check your itinerary and/or documents when you receive them. Call us
immediately if you have any questions.
Retention of tickets, reservations or booking after
issuance shall constitute acceptance of all the provision in the conditions
listed hereto as well as those terms and conditions set forth in the
announcements and brochures of the tour/packages, cruise or service.
-
Rates: Unless otherwise specified all rates are per person
in US Dollars
Air: Reconfirm your flights
directly with the airline 24 hrs prior to flight. FAA requires government
issued picture ID at check-in. The name on the ID must match the airline
ticket name. Minimum check-in time for domestic flights is 90 minutes and
for international flights 2 hours. Airlines may release your seat
reservation and/or assignment 30 minutes prior to departure and you may be
denied boarding. Airfares are based on advance purchase, carrier, flight,
time and routing. Changing any of these could result in an increase of
airfare up to full fare, plus change penalties. This agency and its agents
have endeavored to secure the lowest possible fare, suitable for your travel
requirements, based on space available at the time of booking, accessible
sources of information and knowledge of the agents involved. This agency
cannot guarantee that the fare will be the lowest possible fare at departure
date. Please contact us before departure if you wish to recheck airfares.
International Travel: DOT is requesting airlines
obtain an emergency contact name and telephone number for all international
travelers. It is the travelers' responsibility to obtain proof of
citizenship, passports, visas, vaccinations, and health requirements of the
country of origin and destination. The official source for this information,
as well as travel advisories, is the U.S. State Department 202-647-5225 and
foreign embassies. The King County Health Dept 206-296-4772 or Center for
Disease Control (CDC) 404-332-4559 can answer questions about travel health.
Some health insurance programs are invalid during international travel,
check your policy. Additional taxes may be due and collected at the
airport.
-
Mexico & Canada: Minors traveling to Mexico or Canada without both
natural parents, requires written and notarized permission from the
non-accompanying natural parent. Canada immigration will deny entry to
those convicted of a DUI. Proof of citizenship is required for U.S. citizens
for travel to/from Mexico or Canada.
-
Airline Bankruptcy: If an airline declares bankruptcy, it is not
obligated to carry you or to refund tickets issued before filing bankruptcy.
Travel agents are not allowed to refund tickets. Money given to a travel
agent immediately becomes the property of the airline. An airline that
declares bankruptcy might continue service, limited service or stop
completely. Other airlines might accept passengers but are not required to
honor your ticket. Travel insurance purchased before the airline declares
bankruptcy will protect your travel investment.
-
Car Rentals: Rates are
based on 24-hour periods; extra hours and extra days have an additional
charge. Car rental rates do not include gas, taxes, required and optional
insurance, additional driver or young driver fees. Rentals are subject to
age, drivers’ license, credit and driving record, and proof of personal car
insurance requirements of the car rental company. A major credit card in the
driver’s name is required. Additional restrictions may also apply.
-
Hotel Reservations: Hotels are
usually confirmed on a guaranteed payment basis. If you cancel or change
plans, please notify the hotel(s) within the time period specified by that
hotel to avoid cancellation penalties. Some hotels may charge early check
out fees. Agency charges a $10 cancel or change fee
-
Packages and Cruises:
Prices are subject to change until paid in full, and are subject to change
due to currency fluctuations, increase in taxes, and operational costs.
Group tours / packages are based on a minimum number of passengers
traveling. If the number of passengers falls below the minimum, a surcharge
may be imposed on all passengers, or the departure may be cancelled with
refund. Agency charges additional $100 for cancellations, and $25 per person
for changes.

Travel Accident and Sickness; and Baggage Insurance. We offer
