Turning your dreams into reality A good holiday is one of life’s greatest pleasures and a vital tonic to mind, body and soul. Accessible Travel & Leisure is dedicated to providing barrierfree tourism for all, so that you, your family and friends can enjoy the holidays you’ve always dreamed of. Whether you need the full use of a wheelchair, have a modest impairment or just a temporary injury, we understand the very real difficulties these and other conditions can present when holidaying abroad. Most tour operators simply don’t have the experience, the understanding and, above all, the facilities to accommodate your needs. We do. We are specialists in providing top quality holidays for the less mobile.

Tailored to your individual needs Our expert, friendly staff can advise you on the suitability of each destination, because we have already been there and checked it out ourselves. We can then tailor a holiday to meet your specific requirements. Whether you need to ensure ground floor accommodation, handrails, or any other special facilities, we can offer you holidays where we are able to secure the most appropriate accommodation and services.

Real peace of mind We look after every detail so that you can just relax and enjoy a fantastic holiday. From the flight of your choice to direct transfer to your resort, we will not confirm a booking until we are confident that every individual requirement of your holiday has been secured. Our personal, ‘hands-on’ approach means you get real peace of mind every time you holiday with Accessible Travel.

A unique understanding We understand that you may want to access the swimming pool, have the use of a scooter to get around and enjoy special excursions in an air-conditioned van. We’ll make sure you can. We also understand that you may need advice on how to visit places of interest avoiding steep slopes or flights of stairs. That’s why we have enlisted local representatives to assist you in most of our holiday destinations.* Above all, we understand that our customers wish to be treated with dignity and respect and, despite having restricted mobility, deserve to enjoy their holiday as much as anybody else. *Please note, the following resorts do not currently have local representatives: Confortel Istantilla (Spain), Eria Hotel (Crete), Rialto Hotel (Italy), Parisi Residenza Hotel (Italy), Florida resorts.

wORKING PARTNERSHIPS Accessible Travel has now partnered with the following leading charities, as an approved supplier, in order to provide competitive, tailored, accessible holidays to their members and supporters. In recognition of the service they provide and in order to further support our preferred charities, Accessible Travel is happy to donate part of the profit made from each holiday, directly back to the respective charities.

www.accessibletravel.co.uk

The unique benefits of choosing a holiday with Accessible Travel • Parking at your chosen airport or port.

• Guaranteed adapted room, if needed.

•

Providing the airline or cruise company with comprehensive details of your needs and requests in order to assist with check-in, embarkation, disembarkation and seating, thereby reducing any anxiety over travelling abroad.

• Mobility equipment rental outlets available, verified for their quality and range of products (where applicable).

•

Ensuring your personal, appropriate transport is waiting for you upon arrival, be it a taxi or adapted vehicle with tail-lift. This transport is exclusively for you to travel directly to your accommodation without having to detour and stop off many times en-route to drop off other passengers.

• Advice and support available from a local representative (where applicable) who understands the problems faced by the less mobile traveller.

• Nursing care in the resort (where applicable). • Excursions and local tours on board appropriate transport. • Comprehensive travel insurance covering most medical conditions. • The reassurance of travelling with the UK’s number one tour operator specialising in holidays for the less mobile traveller. • Our holidays are available to everyone, so you can travel with friends and family.

• All hotels, villas and apartments are personally inspected by Accessible Travel for their suitability in meeting our access criteria. In addition to the above, we also provide expert advice on all matters relating to your holiday, including passports and visas, baggage allowances, local weather and so on. Most prices in the brochure include accommodation and transfers. Airfares are not included but are quoted at the time of enquiry. This is to ensure that, wherever possible, you get the airline of your choice.

Accessible holidays from people who really understand what that means I am Andy Wright, the Managing Director of Accessible Travel & Leisure, the UK’s leading tour operator for the less mobile. If you have limited mobility like me then you’ll understand only too well how frustrating arranging a holiday can be. It’s rarely an enjoyable experience. That’s why I created our company and that’s why I know how valuable our service is to so many people. Your local travel agent may try hard to help but few really understand the importance of knowing the height of the washbasin, whether there’s a roll-in shower and if the grab rails are on the left or right side. We do. Not only that but we’ve visited every single hotel and resort in our brochure. We know which rooms are accessible. You’ll have your own accessible transfer, direct to your accessible hotel and we will arrange any equipment that you might require. We know when there’s a pool hoist or a ramp and, more importantly, we know when there’s not. Little things make a big difference. In fact, we’ll do whatever it takes to make sure you, your family and friends have an amazing holiday, staying at fantastic hotels in some of the world’s most beautiful holiday destinations. Accessible Travel & Leisure. It’s more than just a name, it’s a promise, and we look forward to welcoming you on one of our holidays very soon.

Group Tours With A Difference

Accessible Travel is pleased to announce two new business collaborations, created in order to provide our customers with more holiday options. Accessible Travel can now offer escorted group holidays to a variety of exciting worldwide destinations, and tailor made, one off group tours, provided by Wings on Wheels. Wings on Wheels was established in 1997, and has been operating escorted tours, designed specifically to meet the needs of disabled travellers and those with special needs, for over 10 years. Each of the itineraries featured has been personally inspected in advance, to ensure their suitability and that all of the access requirements, where possible, are met. At least one member of staff accompanies each tour and is on hand to deal with any queries or problems that may arise during your stay. Therefore, you can relax, safe in the knowledge that whatever your destination of choice, you are never alone. Examples of worldwide escorted tours currently being offered:

Paphos (Cyprus) - 7 Nights / 8 Days

Athens - 7 Nights / 8 Days

China (Beijing/Xian) - 10 Nights / 11 Days

Mediterranean sun, friendly people and some great excursions make this a fantastic holiday for all you sun worshippers!

Civilization got an early start in Athens. Come and see the ancient remains - and the vibrant modern city too.

China, long hidden behind a cloak of secrecy is now open for exploration by those who seek something completely ‘out of the ordinary’. Come with us and learn about a culture which evolved entirely separately from our own.

Prague - 7 Nights / 8 Days Quaint, pretty squares, interesting buildings and history at every turn. Prague is a place you simply have to visit!

Kenya - 10 Nights / 11 Days There’s nothing quite like the thrill of a game drive across the African grasslands. And on our Safari and Beach holiday we’re visiting not just one, but TWO of the top National Parks.

Thailand Thailand will more than live up to your expectations! This is a truly exotic holiday that you will remember fondly for the rest of your life.

In addition Accessible Travel, as a result of a partnership with Chalfont Line, is now able to offer personal assistance packages, in conjunction with a variety of accessible UK coach holidays, which provide door-to-door transport to and from the departure point as well as a luggage check-in service, for our clients.

Chalfont Line Holidays has been providing quality holidays for slow walkers and wheelchair users since 1980, and all of the escorted coaching holidays are designed for comfort and safety, operated at a much slower pace than mainstream tour operators. Wherever possible, four-star hotels are featured in the itineraries,

South Africa South Africa is without doubt one of the most exhilarating and spectacularly beautiful countries on earth. It can offer many unique experiences for travellers with a keen sense of adventure.

terms & conditions What is Accessible?

Indoor Surfaces

The hotels, villas and cruises appearing in this brochure are included because, in our judgement, they offer a good level of access for wheelchair users and those requiring a relatively barrier-free environment. We do however recognise that each person’s ability to access a particular environment will depend upon a number of additional personal factors known only to that individual, and therefore inclusion of a particular hotel in the Accessible Travel & Leisure brochure does not imply ‘access for all’.

Please note: Continental flooring surfaces i.e. marble or ceramic tiling can prove a hazard when wet. Caution should be taken on such surfaces.

All accommodation, unless otherwise indicated, that appears in our brochure has been visited by an Accessible Travel & Leisure member of staff or one of its agents and the descriptions represent their personal views and impressions at the time of inspection. We must emphasise that Accessible Travel does not own an airline, hotels or indeed any adapted transportation companies. We locate and contract the best providers of accessible services and facilities that are available in each respective resort, or country. It is therefore essential that you convey to our Travel Advisors, ALL your exact needs and requirements, in order that we can meet your expectations. We will help you select the most appropriate destination in order to maximise your enjoyment from a holiday, as we are more than aware of the varying levels of accessibility, as well as the cultural attitudes, of each country.

Our Representatives As independent travellers, your travel arrangements have been tailored to meet your needs. Our resort-based representatives (where appropriate) will meet you at the airport or at an agreed time at your accommodation, normally within a day of your arrival. Our representatives are not hotel based and should be contacted on the number provided should you have any issues during your stay. In destinations where a local travel representative is not available, you have the peace of mind in knowing that we operate a 24hr emergency contact service here in the UK.

Transport Wheelchair accessible airport transfers are available in the majority of the destinations featured in this brochure. The type of vehicle may differ between locations. Please advise us of your specific requirements at the time of booking. In certain locations, the private taxi transfers we arrange for you may require payment on arrival. You will be advised accordingly.

Mobility Aids Mobility aid rental of shower chairs, hoists, scooters, etc. is available in most of the destinations featured in this brochure. Please advise our travel advisors of your needs and they will ensure that you choose the best destination to meet your requirements. Please also see Key to property facilities and the hotel symbols.

Outdoor Surfaces Whilst accessibility is generally improving in and around European cities and holiday resorts, caution should be taken with paving, kerbs, drop kerbs, pedestrian crossings etc., which may not reach accepted UK standards. Standards may be even lower in certain East European and developing countries.

Grab Rails We visit scores of hotels, villas and apartments around the world and have found very few with grab rails in precisely the same position. We are able to show grab rails in bathroom photographs but this may not represent the exact positioning of the grab rails in all rooms. The presence of grab rails is therefore only an indication that the proprietors recognise the value of such aids and wish to enable guests as much as possible. We cannot guarantee they will be in positions to perfectly suit every individual and cannot be held responsible if they have been removed due to damage and wear and tear.

Medical Services Where medical services, such as care, nursing, oxygen supplies and dialysis, are arranged for clients, the contract exists between the client and service provider and ATL accept no responsibility or liability for any injury caused as a result of these services.

Single Travellers To ensure we meet individual requirements, if you intend to go on holiday by yourself, you will be required to fill in our ‘Independent questionnaire’ and also obtain written confirmation from your GP, stating that you are independent and can manage throughout the holiday we will be booking for you on your behalf. Without these being complete the holiday can not be confirmed.

Travel Insurance Insuring against cancellation, delay, baggage loss, illness and public liability is a must! Our own travel insurance provides an excellent level of cover – even offering insurance for wheelchairs whilst being carried on aircraft. Our travel consultants will be pleased to answer any queries you may have about travel insurance.

www.accessibletravel.co.uk

Things You Should Know About Flying

Wheelchairs and Flying

Airlines and airports are far from perfect when it comes to assisting “less mobile” travellers, but they are improving each year. The key to a successful journey is planning and preparation.

Damage to wheelchairs whilst being loaded and carried in the aircraft hold is not unknown. It is important that you consider insuring your wheelchair against damage or loss when being carried by air or other transport operators. Our travel insurance policy provides automatic cover for medical aids with an upper limit of £2000, whilst being carried by airlines. Additional cover or cover for electric powered chairs and other mobility equipment, is available on request.

What We Need To Tell The Airlines: • What assistance you may require when boarding • Type of wheelchair (manual/electric etc)

Manual Wheelchairs

• Weight of your wheelchair • Any special dietary requirements

It is important that your chair is tagged like the rest of your luggage. You should remove detachable parts and carry them as hand luggage.

• Additional needs – oxygen, ventilator, etc

Electric Powered Wheelchairs

Please note that the specific requirements for each airline may differ. Some airlines may require evidence that you do need special services and we may therefore have to ask for certain relevant additional information from you.

Again remove detachable parts – joy sticks etc. Ensure wheels are disengaged from motor. Dry cell batteries should have the battery disconnected and taped up. Baggage handlers will normally assist. Chairs with wet-cell batteries, are not accepted by airlines or cruise operators. Some airlines do have weight restrictions on electric wheelchair’s due to hold size and suitability. In serious cases this may result into your electric wheelchair being denied loading. Always check the weight of your chair first before booking your flight.

Seat Allocation This is important! Airlines will rarely guarantee any particular seat. Airlines often receive 20 or 30 requests for bulkhead seats (which have the most legroom) on each flight. These are normally allocated at check-in and priority tends to go to babies who need sky-cots (mainly long haul). The seats adjacent to emergency exits cannot be allocated to mobility impaired passengers. Having said this, airlines normally do their best to seat you in the most convenient location. Always check-in early.

Medication and Personal Items Remember to pack any medication or other personal items you may need during your flight into your flight bag, as once your suitcase has been loaded, it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to access such items.

Oxygen Airlines have very rigid rules about the supply of oxygen on board their aircraft. Some airlines charge, whilst others may not offer an oxygen service. Please discuss your needs with one of our travel consultants at the time of booking.

Aircraft Aisle Chairs A narrow seat on wheels used to transport those unable to walk to their seats. As bulkheads are often over subscribed, aisle seats with lift-up arms, offer the next best solution. The Aisle-Chair will get you from the door of the aircraft to your seat. Not the most salubrious mode of transport but one that regular flyers will get to know only too well.

On Board Toileting: You should consider your needs carefully, especially on long haul flights. Most wide-bodied aircraft have at least one ‘accessible’ toilet, but don’t expect anything too spacious. Crew can assist you in getting to the toilet, but can not assist you onto the sky chair if it is required, and they can not assist you in the toilet, (hygiene regulations). Most airports now have accessible toilets in departure, but be aware not all tannoy systems work inside the toilets.

Boarding Mobility impaired passengers are often boarded first – another good reason to check-in early! If you ‘Gate-Check’ your chair, you can stay in your chair right up to the time of boarding. Ground staff will then transfer you to your seat using the ‘aisle-chair’ and store your wheelchair in the hold. Most UK airports will have a sky bridge (walkway) or hydraulic lift to take you straight to the aircraft door. Many smaller ‘holiday destination’ airports may not have these facilities. In this case restricted mobility passengers will be transferred to special ‘skychairs’ and manually lifted by ground crew up the steps and into the aircraft. These are well-practised procedures and should not pose a problem.

terms & conditions

terms & conditions 1. The Contract Between Us

6. Cancellation/Alteration By Us

When you sign the booking form you are confirming that you understand and have accepted the information regarding the holiday, which has been supplied to you. You are also accepting that our terms and conditions form the basis of the contract between Accessible Travel & Leisure and you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Accessible Travel & Leisureâ&#x20AC;? means Travelability Limited trading as Accessible Travel & Leisure. The person signing the booking form must confirm that he/she has the authority of all the persons included in the holiday to make the booking on their behalf. The person who makes the booking accepts responsibility for making payments to Accessible Travel & Leisure for all members of the party and will receive all documents and other information from us on behalf of the party.

Because we plan arrangements months in advance, we reserve the right to make changes if necessary. Most changes are minor such as the withdrawal of a facility; the need to change your hotel to another of the same official category; the late opening or closure of an advertised swimming pool; the alteration to the departure time of your transport of less than 12 hours or less than 6 hours if your booking is for 4 nights or less; a change of routing/carrier or a change to/cancellation of an event (such as an excursion) at your destination. We will let you know about this kind of change as soon as possible but we do not pay compensation for minor changes.

2. Making A Booking A booking will be accepted by telephone, fax or e-mail, which will be held for an agreed period by Accessible Travel & Leisure. This booking will be confirmed verbally to you and upon receipt of appropriate deposits and/or balance payments confirmation will be sent to you in writing. You should check the invoice carefully to ensure that it is correct. Any discrepancies must be notified to us immediately.

3. Payment Upon verbal confirmation from Accessible Travel & Leisure, a non refundable deposit of GBP ÂŁ150 per person from yourselves (or such higher amount as may be required by any supplier), your booking will be confirmed. The balance of your holiday costs will be due 10 weeks prior to departure, unless otherwise advised at the time of booking. No reminder will be sent and we reserve the right to cancel your reservation if the balance is unpaid 10 weeks prior to your date of travel when cancellation charges, as shown in these Terms and Conditions, will apply. Cheques should be made payable to Accessible Travel. A handling fee of 2.5% will be charged on any payments by credit card. Debits cards incur no charge.

4. Amendments Until your booking has been confirmed, we reserve the right to make any necessary changes. After confirmation we will take reasonable steps to make changes requested. We reserve the right to levy an amendment fee of GBP50 per person for alterations made 2 months prior to departure, plus any further costs arising from the change. Alterations, including a change of name, within 2 months of the date of departure will be treated as a cancellation and will therefore be charged in accordance with our cancellation policy as detailed in section 5.

5. Cancellation By You If you wish to cancel your holiday, this must be done in writing by the person who made the booking. The date of cancellation is the date it is received in this office. Subject to section 5.2 the cancellation fees will be a percentage of the total holiday cost based on the number of days before departure within which notification is received by us as follows:More than 10 weeks - deposit

If we have to make a major change such as: an alteration to the departure time of your transport of more than 12 hours or more than 6 hours if your booking is for 4 nights or less; a change of resort area (for this purpose, a resort shall be classified as anywhere within a 40 mile radius of your chosen accommodation for a country or beach holiday or anywhere within a 5 mile radius of your chosen accommodation for a city break); a change of departure or return airport/port (this does not apply to airports within the same city); or a change of accommodation to a lower category, we will inform you immediately and we will offer you the following choice: - Accept a different holiday of a similar standard (if one is available). - Book another holiday with us. If it costs less than your original holiday we will refund the difference; if it costs more you will pay us the difference. - Cancel your holiday and receive a full refund. In all 3 cases cited (subject to the important note* below), you will also be entitled to compensation as detailed in the table below, unless the change or cancellation is caused by circumstance beyond our control, such as bad weather, airport closures, industrial action, the hotel being closed, epidemic, civil strife or terrorist activity, fire, flood, war, threat of war, natural or nuclear disaster. For travel-inclusive holidays: We tell you about a major change - pay you More than 56 days before your holiday - Nothing 29 to 56 days before your holiday - GBP 20 per adult 15 to 28 days before your holiday - GBP 30 per adult 8 to 14 days before your holiday - GBP 40 per adult 0 to 7 days before your holiday - GBP 50 per adult *Important note: In respect of all holidays booked, Accessible Travel & Leisure will not be responsible for any out-of-pocket expenses or consequential or indirect loss you incur as a result of any change. We will not pay you any compensation if you have not paid the full amount for your holiday 10 weeks before departure. In the event of a change to an accommodation only booking, Accessible Travel & Leisure will be liable only in relation to the accommodation booked and we will not be responsible for any indirect costs or losses or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

Between 2 months and 35 days - 40% Between 34 and 22 days - 70%

7. The Price

Between 21 and 15 days - 90%

As I am sure you can appreciate, with both the constant fluctuations of currency exchange rates, as well as varying fuel prices and government taxes, it is increasingly more difficult to publish exact holiday costs within our brochure, which is prepared many months in advance of your travel date. Furthermore, with both airlines and hoteliers regularly adjusting their prices to reflect market demand, we prefer to provide you with an up-to-date accurate price at the time of your enquiry. Upon verbal confirmation of your booking, we will confirm the exact final price, before payment is made.

14 days and less - 100% If you cancel for a reason covered by your insurance policy you should make a claim against the insurance company. When the price of your holiday is based on the number of people booked and a cancellation alters that number, then we will recalculate the invoice based on numbers actually travelling. No refund will be given on any unused portion of the booking and no booking is transferable. 5.2 Where you are booked on a scheduled flight or cruise, a higher cancellation fee may apply as some airlines and cruise companies do not permit any changes once a booking has been made.

We reserve the right to levy any additional charge should there be any significant variation in costs including exchange rates, the cost of aviation fuel or airport charges or increase in Government charges or levies. We guarantee not to increase prices less than 4 weeks prior to travel.

8. Descriptions

15. Complaints

All descriptions of properties and services are made in good faith and every care is taken to ensure their accuracy. However, owners of properties, amenities, entertainmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s etc. may change their services from time to time without notice and Accessible Travel & Leisure cannot be held responsible if amenities mentioned in the brochure are not available. We shall endeavour to notify you promptly, of any changes that are made known to us, prior to your departure. If we are aware of building work or unusual noise at the hotel you will be advised before you depart.

If you have a complaint about your holiday you must tell our local representative and/or advise Accessible Travel & Leisure on the emergency telephone number immediately. If you fail to do this we cannot accept responsibility as we may have lost the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem. You must also write to Accessible Travel & Leisure within 28 days of your return with full details of your complaint.

All accommodation in our brochure has been inspected on behalf of Accessible Travel & Leisure and in the opinion of our representative the accommodation is suitable for use by a disabled person. However, disabilities vary considerably and it is your responsibility to make known to Accessible Travel & Leisure all special requirements you have. See Paragraph 13. Accessible Travel & Leisure will not be responsible for any changes to the properties or their contents after the date of inspection.

9. Travel Insurance For the protection of your party it is a condition of booking that all members must take out COMPREHENSIVE TRAVEL INSURANCE. This policy must include cancellation cover; 24-hour medical and emergency service, repatriation and a 24-hour emergency telephone help line. Clients arranging their own insurance must do so immediately thereby covering for the possibility of cancellation and subsequent loss of monies. Clients must either purchase insurance through Accessible Travel & Leisure or provide details of their own insurance when making their booking.

10. Holiday Accommodation All villas and apartments offered by Accessible Travel & Leisure are privately owned, and we act as an agent in the UK for the owners, or their representatives. Only those persons named at the time of booking may occupy the property. Breakages or damage must be reported to our local agent immediately and the appropriate payment or replacement made locally before departure. We will require a cheque for ÂŁ100 that will not be cashed, as security. If there has been a breakage or damage at the villa, a claim may be made against you for the full cost of any replacement items or repairs. We reserve the right to charge for any breakage or damage, which is discovered after you have vacated the property and which has not been reported.

11. Flight Arrangements & Other Supplies By Third Parties Scheduled flights and some other services are subject to the terms and conditions of the carriers, some of which may limit liability. Please advise of any special flight requirements such as special diets and assistance for wheelchair users at the time of booking. Should you be advised of any changes to flight schedules by the airline, tour operator or consolidator, you must inform us immediately in order that appropriate arrangements can be made for your arrival at the resort. IMPORTANT NOTE: Seat allocations and other special services can be requested but not guaranteed. Aircraft types are subject to change without notice by the airlines.

12. Claims & Liability Any claim under this agreement shall be subject to English Law and all proceedings shall be within the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts. As part of our undertaking to provide your required holiday arrangements it is necessary for Accessible Travel & Leisure to select and make arrangements with various independent contractors including hoteliers and coach transport operators. Accessible Travel & Leisure is not responsible for the negligence or other acts or omissions of those independent carriers, the hoteliers or other contractors, or their employees or agents. Except for personal injury, illness or death, the maximum amount we will pay for claims is the full holiday price.

13. Special Requirements You must include full details of special requirements (and where appropriate of your disability/medical condition) on the additional needs form. These will include roll-in shower, hoists, special diets on flights etc. It may be helpful if you give information as to the nature of your disability. Accessible Travel & Leisure cannot guarantee that any of your requests will be met but they will certainly pass them on to the relevant supplier. If any of the facilities mentioned in the brochure are vital to you then you must mention this on the additional needs form.

14. Data Protection In order to process your booking it is necessary for us to collect personal data from you and members of your party. In order to arrange your holiday, we may have to pass some of that information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements. Such suppliers may be outside continental Europe. The information may also be provided to credit checking companies and public authorities such as customs and immigration, if required by them or by law. We may contact you or members of your holiday party in the future to inform you about our services. If you do not wish to receive such approaches in the future then please write to us. By signing the booking form you confirm your consent to the use of your data and that of your party members for these purposes.

terms & conditions

16. Locally Hired Equipment & Facilities Where requested, Accessible Travel & Leisure will endeavour to arrange on your behalf the hiring of equipment from local suppliers at the resort or medical services such as nursing, oxygen supplies or dialysis. Accessible Travel & Leisure accepts no responsibility for ensuring that this equipment or these services will be available for you or will be suitable for your requirements. Unless otherwise stated you will be responsible for paying the local supplier and you should ensure that you take sufficient local currency for this purpose. Any loss or damage caused by the equipment which you hire or services provided to you in the resort will be the responsibility of the local supplier and Accessible Travel & Leisure accept no responsibility for the selection or fitness for purpose of the equipment or services supplied or for any loss or damage caused by its use. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Health: If you are visiting an EC country, we strongly recommend that you acquire the EHIC card. It is essential that all persons on medication or under medical treatment obtain permission to travel from their doctor. Some airlines require a certificate confirming `fitness to fly`. Insurance: It is a condition of booking that you have adequate insurance cover (see Conditions and Terms of Booking). You should read the insurance policy document carefully. It will give you full details of what is and what is not covered and the conditions of cover. Cover will vary from policy to policy and insurer to insurer. HEALTH: OUR POLICY CONTAINS RESTRICTIONS REGARDING PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE TRAVELLING AND OF OTHER PEOPLE UPON WHO THE TRIP MAY DEPEND. PLEASE READ THE DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. Your Flight: You should advise us at the time of booking should any member of your party require assistance at the airport. The service available to passengers with disabilities varies from airport to airport, as does the means of transferring wheelchair users into and out of the aircraft. This may involve manual lifting onto airport buses, aircraft steps and aircraft seats. At most airports, this is a well-practised procedure. Passports & Visas: It is the responsibility of clients travelling to ensure they have a valid passport with at least a 6-month duration beyond the return date to the UK. You should also check Visa requirements, as these may be necessary for passport holders of certain nationalities. Accessible Travel & Leisure cannot be held responsible for the cancelling of any holiday as a consequence of incorrect or invalid documentation. No refunds will be given in such circumstances. Please note that the one-year Visitors Permit is no longer valid. Special Diets: You should advise us at the time of booking should you, or any of your party, require special diets in-flight. We can request these, but not all diets are catered for. Special diets in your resort can be requested but not always guaranteed. Check-in/Check-out: To cover incidental expenses during your stay, most hotels will debit your credit card or ask for a cash deposit if you do not have one; please take this into account when planning your holiday finances. On arrival, your room is normally available between noon and 3pm. On the day of departure you will usually be asked to checkout between 10am and noon, but most hotels will store baggage until departure. Financial Protection: To ensure the financial security of your holiday, Accessible Travel and Leisure only secures flight seats with ATOL or IATA licensed airlines, unless otherwise requested by you at the time of booking, and acquires accommodation and transport arrangements, from approved and verified suppliers. Furthermore, for any holidays not covered under an ATOL agreement, (where Accessible Travel and Leisure act as an agent of an ATOL licensed operator), usually those that do not involve a flight being booked by Accessible Travel as part of the package, we operate a trust account, in accordance with European regulations to protect clients funds.
