Links Round the World Every year Jetset invests in technology which contributes to time and cost efficiency to the mutual benefit of our agents and clients. Our constant growth and development widen the range of product and Jetset’s ability to offer unbeatable value. The Jetset Electronic Travel System - JETS, gives you easy access to airline fares Round the World and instantly available accommodation on Landlink’s many thousands of hotels, sightseeing excursions, coach tours and transfers.

Jetset Authorised Agents We have compiled a list on our website of our active Authorised Travel Agents through the UK who are committed to recommending Jetset. We know you will help our mutual clients benefit from your local knowledge in getting to the destination and with the product selection to match their individual requirements. Jetset’s innovative and creative travel packages, including RTW Holidays, Escorted Motorcoach Tours, Self-drive Tours, City Breaks, Attractions. Transfers and Sightseeing JETS gives you easy access to virtually unlimited flight connections worldwide, and our hotel Reservations Service features over 5000 hotels from Anchorage to Zurich and from Australia to Zimbabwe.

The Jetset World Our world may seem to be ‘getting smaller ’... it certainly has become easier to explore with so many possibilities to travel from country to country... continent to continent. At Jetset we are always exploring ways to improve and by taking responsibility for our actions we are seeking to reduce our own carbon footprint. Our company environmental policy is available to view on our website www.jetsetholidays.com One of the ways we are endeavouring to reduce wastage is through the use of our technological advances, and in particular embracing the worldwide web. Online you will find accommodation in our wordwide programme of cities and resorts, fares and ticketing, airport transfers, sightseeing excursions, and coach tours, thus reducing the need to produce thousands of brochures each year with prices which can be out of date before they are printed. We believe that the independent traveller is much more sophisticated and happier to view up to the minute information and prices in a web format, rather than sift through brochures while agents still need to confirm availability and prices adjusted for the latest surcharges or special discounts.

Flexible Tailor-Made Holidays This Travel Guide highlights a number of holiday ideas which have proved to be the most popular time and time again, particularly with our first time travellers, but these can be still be tailored to meet everyone's personal requirements. For seasoned travellers you can simply choose flights, add their choice of accommodation, and any tours... either escorted or independent, even the mode of transportation.

Putting it altogether... FOR THE PERFECT HOLIDAY Deciding which way to fly around the world is an exciting prospect.

Room Grading & Facilities There are no universally accepted grading systems for all the accommodation in the countries featured by Jetset. So we personally grade hotels to help you with your selection. These ratings range from basic to good value accommodation to truly world class hotels offering the ultimate in luxury. The following is offered as a guide, and is shown by each hotel: g

Budget accommodation with limited facilities

Comfortable, well maintained, value for those travelling through the area for a night or two

ggg

Usually higher standard, modern or exceptionally maintained older property, average economy

gggg

A deluxe property offering exemplary standards and service with a wide range of facilities

ggggg Amongst the world’s best hotels, elegant, attractive and invariably in an impressive location We also show some of the hotel facilities as follows:.

Our flexible approach means treating everyone’s requirements individually, rather than ‘one style fits all’... so it is little wonder why so many British Travellers choose Jetset. If there’s one thing that people at Jetset appreciate, it’s the fact that everyone has different ideas on what makes a good holiday. That’s why we don’t believe in limiting horizons. At Jetset we cater for all tastes, lifestyles and budgets. Whatever your client is looking for, we’ll do our best to help you find it!

Accommodation

Discovery Stays & Excursions

Australian Visa

We offer a superb selection of hotel rooms, suites and apartments around the world. Whether budget hotels or luxury establishments, they meet the high standards of comfort and service expected by Jetset travellers. Some destinations have a complex pricing policy varying as many as 6 to 10 times between high and low seasons.

Throughout the Travel Guide we have detailed a wide range of our most popular excursions and some unusual ones too. They are pre-bookable and we advise you to confirm all excursions prior to your clients travelling to avoid any disappointment. Our range of Discovery Stays includes transfers, excursions and accommodation, enabling independent travellers to experience more in a short space of time.

Don’t forget that all British passport holders need a visa to enter Australia, and the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) can be arranged by our operations team for only £10. Simply fill in the form online and post the copy of the photo page of your passport and the Jetset booking reference to Jetset Visa Service, Cresta House, 32 Victoria Street, Altrincham, Cheshire WA14 1ET.

For this reason we have given the price indicators of an extra night’s stay - this enables you to compare hotel value, or, indeed, appreciate the benefit of staying a few extra nights. If your clients have a favourite hotel that we don’t appear to feature, just let us know. We have access to many other hotels not presented in this guide or on our website as they may not have a real time connection enabled for availability checks and we may need to book ‘offline’ .

Holiday Styles & Experiences Australia and New Zealand, like the United States and Canada, are renowned for their outdoor lifestyles which are reflected in the range of outdoor activities and facilities available. Clients may prefer to do a self drive tour with a Motorhome, or take one of the Classic Themed Coach tours through Mother Nature’s Finest Discover areas of the world that are beautiful, unusual, stunning and varied such as Wave Rock in Western Australia, the Great Barrier Reef and Cape Tribulation, the majestic Ayers Rock & Olgas, South Island Nature Trail in New Zealand, the Canadian Rocky Mountaineer train through the majestic Rockies or a visit to Yellowstone Park. See Mickey & Minnie in Disneyland, the magic of the Far East or simple sounds of a day ending on a South Pacific Island.

Long Haul Specialists for 40 Years

Land Only Arrangements If you’ve made separate flight arrangements, we can still offer you a selection of hotels and tours which we call ‘Land Only’ arrangements. Everything is booked before your clients leave the UK so they can relax on holiday, knowing there's ‘room in the Inn’ when they arrive. A £10 booking fee will be charged to cover the cost of arrangements under £150.

Guaranteed Pricing Policy At Jetset we fully recognise the importance of the price of a holiday. We pride ourselves in offering the best available prices on all itineraries combining scheduled air fares and land arrangements and we will never knowingly be beaten on price for the same flight or itinerary. If your clients pay in full at the time of booking, we also guarantee that they will only pay the price fixed at that time. If, after paying the deposit, an airline increases its fares, we will contact you and our clients will be given the option of paying the original price within 7 days or paying the new price. Although the price indications in this guide were accurate at the time of printing, we will continually update prices on our website www.jetsetholidays.com

Insurance No one should travel without it! We recommend Citybond Insurance arrangements which covers cancellation and curtailment of your holiday, lost luggage, delays, public liability and personal health regardless of age. They can be contacted on 0800 093 4647 and quote CRE06.

Honeymoons & Special Occasions Let us help you plan a honeymoon to include those extra touches that help make the holiday of a lifetime. We can help make any occasion from birthdays to anniversaries more memorable by choosing pre-booked sparkling wines, flowers and fruit to upgrades or special side-trips. Whatever the indulgence - just ask.

Your Financial Protection The air holiday packages in this brochure are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority. Our ATOL number is ATOL 3200. Please see our booking conditions for more information. The price of our air holiday packages includes the amount of £1 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in our advertised prices. ATOL Protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services in this brochure. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking.

The sky’s the limit... LET JETSET TAKE YOU THERE! Round The World Options With Jetset no one has to settle for one holiday destination. On flights to North America, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and Asia, Jetset can offer different routings so you can recommend the option of visiting a range of exotic locations en route – you’ll be surprised how inexpensive it is to add another one, two or three countries to most holidays. The Qantas Dreamtime Plus fare offers great benefits for the traveller Down Under: Travel to Australia and get two free stopovers as well as your point of turnaround e.g.: LondonSingapore-Perth-Ayers Rock-Sydney-BangkokLondon giving you two brilliant international stopovers and three fantastic City, Rock and Surf destinations This fare is priced from just £1,199 per person including all taxes Travel to New Zealand and get up to four stopovers in Australia e.g.: London-Hong Kong-Perth-Sydney-AucklandMelbourne-Brisbane-Singapore-London This fare is priced from just £1,489 per person including all taxes The Qantas World Discovery Plus Fare offers many different round the world options, including from November 08: London-Mumbai-Singapore-Perth-Ayers RockCairns-Sydney-Buenos Aries (overland) Rio de Janeiro-London This fare is priced from just £1,599 per person including all taxes Another alternative round the world option is: London-Cape Town (overland) JohannesburgSydney-Surfers Paradise (overland) Brisbane-FijiLos Angeles (overland) San Francisco-London This fare is priced from just £1,469 per person including all taxes

Scheduled flight flexibility allows your clients to plan their holidays to suit themselves with the advantage of choosing the routes, dates and timings they want, for as long as they want, stopping where they want.

Comfort and style A holiday should start the moment your client steps on board their flight so it is important the journey is enjoyable and comfortable. As you would expect, our key airline partners are world class and we are proud to work with key airlines such as Qantas, Emirates, American, Virgin, Continental, KLM, United, Lufthansa, Air France, Delta and BMI to name a few which offer numerous connections making multi-centre holidays easily accessible.

Flights Fares and Flexibility Deciding where to fly will be an exciting prospect for most holidaymakers and scheduled flight flexibility will allow you to help plan your clients' holiday with the advantage of choosing routes by combining domestic and international flights to create multi-centre opportunities often for little or no additional cost. For example you could recommend the westward route to your clients via Los Angeles and Fiji to New Zealand before arriving at Australia. They could fly back home via Hong Kong, Bali, Bangkok or Singapore! Or could return from Australia using the same outward route, but this time stop in Hawaii! They might even wish to visit Johannesburg, Delhi or Toronto! We have highlighted a few fares available with some of our main airline partners at the time of going to press to give you an indication of costs. We also have reduced fares from local airports, AirPasses for bargain flights within Australia & New Zealand and a comprehensive range of airfares with over 100 airlines which we will check before offering

Holiday Planning Service available free on 0845 02 57 757

you a final itinerary to ensure the best prices in a constantly changing and competitive marketplace. Many destinations are served by regional airports via Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester. Many connecting flights via Amsterdam, Paris or Frankfurt are free.

Break Your Journey With a Stopover A Stopover is a great way of enhancing the holiday and leaving the traveller feeling refreshed ready for the next leg of the journey. Why not recommend another place on the journey home? Not only does it give your clients the opportunity to see another country, but it postpones getting home for a few extra days!

Special Discounted Air Fares Some of our scheduled airlines will offer lower fares in exchange for limited flexibility, and higher amendment and cancellation fees. Full payment, will be required to guarantee the holiday price involving this sort of fare. We will advise regarding deposits and fare rules at the time of booking.

Flight Upgrades Although our holidays are based on economy class seating, Jetset has access to many special rates for premium economy, business and first class travel. The flight upgrades will provide a larger seating area in separate cabins on board the aircraft, often exclusive check-in facilities and airport lounges, as well as superior meals and beverages.

Chinta Air Tours Chinta Tours is based in Ceduna, South Australia, and began when two local farmers realised that the region has stunning scenery that is relatively unknown. With access to light aircraft, the couple began organising tours to the Eyre Peninsula, the Outback and the Nullarbor. The advantage of using their own aircraft with selected pilots and guides, means that vast distances are reduced to comfortable flights, while still allowing you to enjoy the changing scenery.

AUSTRALIA is a land of vast diversity. The world’s largest island covers an area of almost three million square miles. It incorporates vibrant modern cities, lush tropical rainforests, stunning beaches, arid deserts, coral-fringed islands. A single destination which encompasses every imaginable type of holiday from the adventurous exploration of the Outback to relaxation along a pristine beach, from the Red Centre’s huge monoliths and rugged gorges to the sophistication of cosmopolitan cities. A relaxed and easy-going lifestyle. Great value for money. It has to be AUSTRALIA.

Climate

Wine and Dine

Money Matters

Any day, anywhere you will find the right climate conditions that will make your Australian experience memorable.

The fusion of differing cultures in the cities and towns of Australia means the entire spectrum of global cuisines are at your fingertips. Fruits, salads, fish, beef and lamb are abundant staples of Australian life. Tasty seafood dishes to rival anything in the world are increasingly available. Tap water is safe to drink and of a good standard, Australian beer is always served well chilled and is popular with tourist and locals alike, and Australian wines have a fantastic reputation worldwide.

In Australia the currency is Australian Dollars (AUD). Credit cards are widely accepted including American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard and Visa. Currency exchange is available at banks, hotels and international airports. There is a goods and services tax on purchases (10%) but you may claim this and the Wine Equalisation Tax when departing the country.

Shopping

Firstly, you will need a valid full ten year passport that will still be valid for at least six months after your scheduled return. Let Jetset issue your Electronic Travel Authority if you are a EU passport holder.

The Australian summer from December to February is warm and sunny and you can enjoy lazy days on the beach and typical Aussie meals cooked on the barbecue. Summer is the rainy season in the tropical regions in the north that bring lush rainforests to life. Spring and autumn are mild and are the best seasons for bush walks and discovering nature. The Australian winter June to August is generally mild, but offers snow in the southern mountains. At the same time our northern states have balmy 24° Celsius temperatures. No matter where you are in Australia or what season it is, always remember your factor 30+ sunscreen. The Australian sun can be quite strong, so it’s best to wear a shirt and put on a hat while enjoying the great outdoors.

Shopping plays a large part of travelling. Whether you are shopping or sightseeing, there is always a place to shop or purchase souvenirs. In Australia you are covered by Australia’s consumer protection laws which require businesses to treat you fairly.

www.jetsetholidays.com

Travel Tips

Australia has laws that are in place to protect you, locals and the environment. These laws prevent anyone entering Australia with drugs, steroids, weapons, firearms, and protected wildlife. Some common items are prohibited too. These include

fresh or packaged food, fruit, eggs, meat, vegetables and seeds. Public transport is available at all airports for your convenience. Though after a long flight you may prefer a transfer to be prebooked, or even have a meet and greet service pre-booked, ask Jetset to arrange this for you. Car hire or campervan hire is recommended and driving is on the left. It’s a good idea to pre-book your accommodation before your arrival, as last minute accommodation can be very hard to find.

Major Events Accommodation may be especially difficult to find at these times, although we at Jetset have huge reserves of accommodation for your benefit, however, you may find prices are inflated and availability very tight, unless you book early: 19th July 2008 Australia vs South Africa, Ruby International, Perth 26th July2008 Australia vs All Blacks Rugby International, Sydney 5th-27th September 2008 AFL Grand Final Series, Melbourne 11th-18th October 2008 Alice Springs Masters Games 1st-8th November 2008 Melbourne Cup Race Meeting 29th December-2nd January 2009 New Years Eve Celebrations, Sydney 19th January-1st February 2009, Australian Open Tennis, Melbourne 7th-28th February 2009 Mardi Gras, Sydney 13th-15th March 2009 Australian Grand Prix, Melbourne

The Whitsundays, an idyllic playground of 74 pristine islands dotting warm, truly blue waters. Here you can swim with marine life among coral, game fish, set sail, explore a rainforest, party hard, or snooze on white sand and just relax. The Whitsundays describes the islands of the Queensland mainland coast from Mackay to Townsville. The climate is warm all year around, with an average temperature of 27.4 degrees Celsius (80 degrees Fahrenheit). The days are long and leisurely with an average of eight-anda-half hours of sunlight to each day. Most of the islands in the Whitsundays are uninhabited and many are national parks. Seven islands hold resorts, of varying accommodation standards.

The islands include spectacular Whitsunday Island, Whitehaven, with soft white sand, Daydream, Hook, Lindeman Island, Long Island, dreamy South Molle, Brampton and Hamilton Island with its five-star resort and scores of facilities and activities. The pleasures of these tropical islands are many.

From July to September, you can catch glimpses of humpback whales on their annual pilgrimage. You'll know you've made it to paradise when the range of idyllic islands scattered off the coast of Tropical North Queensland is explored.

Day 2: Wilpena Pound Day at leisure at Wilpena Pound covering 83 square kilometres in the more remote, undeveloped northern section of the Flinders Ranges, 400 kilometres north of Adelaide. Wilpena Pound rises as an immense, crater-like fusion of stark purple ridges and overhanging bluffs, strewn with tough and colourful vegetation, in jarring contrast to the flatness of the surrounding plains. The interior of the Pound has been a stamping-ground for hiking enthusiasts for decades. The kangaroos and euros (small wallaby-like marsupials) bound between rampantly yellow wattle trees (in spring). Pampas grass, wildflowers (the best blooming season is spring) and other flora making for a scene reminiscent of the ‘lost world’. In season you’ll find the brilliant reds and pinks of Sturt’s Desert Pea, Flinders Ranges Bottlebrush, Hopbush and Sturt’s Desert Rose.

Australia’s third largest island is a paradise for wildlife, and the must-see attraction of South Australia. It measures nearly 320 miles around its coastline and is a fabulous place to explore, whether you visit for a day, overnight or even longer.

Day 3: Wilpena Pound to Parachilna Depart Wilpena today and head north to the small outback town of Parachilna, about one and a half hours away. Parachilna has an official population of just seven but its remoteness adds to the pleasure of its one and only hotel. The Prairie Hotel is truly an oasis on the plains of the Flinders Ranges, some of the most ancient and fascinating formations on earth. From the hotel, you can enjoy magnificent views of both the Ranges and the vast red desert plains sweeping toward Lake Torrens. Inside the hotel, you’ll find great character, charm and creature comforts – topped off with superb cuisine. All this is only 30 minutes drive from the famous Parachilna and Brachina Gorges of the Flinders Ranges National Park. Overnight: Prairie Hotel. Day 4: Parachilna to Clare Valley Leave the lovely town of Parachilna this morning and head south to the Clare Valley. Irish immigrants originally settled the area, and today it is the centre for an important pastoral industry and home to many acclaimed cool climate wines. The region consists of seven small valleys, which are the northern section of the Mt. Lofty Ranges. Overnight: Clare Country Club.

Self Drive (4 days/3 nights)

13 Days Small Group 4WD Experience from Broome (13 days/12 nights)

Day 1: Perth to Busselton (140 miles) Collect your rental car and drive out of Perth heading just a few hours south of Perth, this region has a long history as the easily accessible coastal playground for Western Australians, the superb coastline, climate and national parks combine with the enormous range of visitor facilities and attractions on offer. The seaside town of Busselton is nestled along the wide sandy shores of Geographe Bay. Protected from prevailing winds, the calm beaches of the Bay are popular with fishermen, scuba divers and snorkellers. Overnight: Broadwater Beach Resort (Hotel Room) Day 2: Busselton to Margaret River (30 miles) A leisurely drive through the rolling farm lands of the south west hinterland, will put you on the edge of the world-famous vineyards of Margaret River. Now is the time to discard your watch and relax. Settle into local time and explore some of the local wineries, before cruising into the wine heartland of Margaret River. The Margaret River wine region is relatively compact and very easy to navigate. Make your first stop the visitors’ centre in the main street, where you will find maps along with some tips on some of the local gourmet dining secrets. Then take a drive – via a few wineries – to the local chocolate or fudge factory and stock up on some of these luxuries. Nestled between farmlands and the coast, Margaret River is spoiled with top quality farm produce, fresh seafood, and the local specialty – Marron a tasty little crustacean. Overnight: Comfort Inn Grange on Farrelly. Day 3: Margaret River to Pemberton (85 miles) Pemberton is a relaxing drive from Margaret River on good sealed roads. Yet while relatively nearby, it is like being in a different country. There’s something about the gentle light and the forest air that sets the tiny timber town of Pemberton apart. The folk of Pemberton have made a living from the magnificent King Karri trees that create an awesome backdrop to just about every scene. Now, as the timber industry is turning to plantation timber, the reliance on the forest is dwindling and the industries of wine production and tourism are taking over as the lifeblood of the town. Pemberton is well on the way to becoming a premium cool climate wine region and there are many wineries open for tastings and some include cafes and restaurants of a high standard. Overnight: Forest Lodge Resort (Deluxe Guest House Room – Includes Full Breakfast) Day 4: Pemberton to Perth (200 miles) Make the Gloucester Tree lookout the first stop on your way back to Perth, climb the pegs to the top of the impossibly tall tree for a commanding view of the forest. If you’re feeling peckish, refuel at your choice of the many cottage-style restaurants in the area, all offering excellent gourmet meals or simple, country fare. Then spend the afternoon exploring some of the trails and tracks leading into the forest, remembering to keep a sharp lookout for native wildlife that inhabits the area. The southern forests share the same weather and soil composition as Margaret River, and produce some sensational wines. Many of the wineries are family owned and operated, so you’ll find the service personal and friendly. It’s not uncommon to be greeted by the owner, who will be happy to provide samples of their wines and show you around. Take a few bottles away to enjoy back in Perth, about a four and a half hour drive away. Drop your rental car off and continue with your onward travel arrangements or stopover in Perth for more nights.

Climate The north of New Zealand is subtropical and the south temperate. The warmest months are December, January and February, and the coldest June, July and August. In summer, the average maximum temperature ranges between 20-30ºC and in winter between 10-15ºC. The top of the North Island is subtropical, whereas the South Island has extensive snow falls during winter, especially on the Southern Alps.

Wine and Dine When it comes to food, every region of New Zealand has its specialties. Northland has awardwinning cheeses and subtropical fruit. Rotorua is the place for a hangi - a traditional Maori feast cooked in an underground oven. Marlborough is the place for scallops and green lipped mussels and Canterbury serves up the very best rack of lamb. The concept of regional specialties also applies to wine: Gisborne is known as the

chardonnay capital of New Zealand and Marlborough is sauvignon blanc country, while Central Otago is excelling itself in the pinot noir department. New Zealand has excellent water supplies and in all cases tap water is fresh and safe to drink.

Shopping New Zealand offers a huge variety of shopping from arts and craft markets, galleries and museum shops to exclusive designer stores. For traditional New Zealand souvenirs look for examples of superb Maori carvings in wood, bone and pounamu (greenstone or jade). You can also find jewellery and ornaments made from the iridescent paua shell (abalone), treasured by Maori for centuries.

Money Matters In New Zealand the currency is New Zealand Dollars (NZD). Credit cards are widely accepted. Currency exchange is available at banks, some hotels and international airports. All goods and services are subject to a 12.5% Goods and Services Tax (GST) included in the displayed price. Visitors cannot claim this tax back; however when a supplier ships a major purchase to a visitor's home address the GST will not be charged.

Travel Tips All visitors to New Zealand must carry a passport that is valid for at least three months beyond the date you intend to leave the country. Most visitors who intend to stay for less than three months do not require a visa. New Zealand is free of many insect pests, plant diseases and animal infections that are common elsewhere in the world. Therefore, substantial fines may be incurred if you arrive with these prohibited materials: Fresh,

perishable foodstuffs, such as fruit, vegetables and meat. An extensive network of air, train and road services means most places can be reached by public transport, however New Zealand is perfect self-drive territory, the roads are good and driving is on the left.

It's a good idea to book your accommodation in advance, especially during the busy summer period - from December to February.

SAMOA Climate

THE COOK ISLANDS Climate

Fiji enjoys an ideal South Sea tropical climate and can get hot in the summer but seldom reaches above 35° Celsius; the season for tropical rains is from December through February coinciding with the warmest summer months.

Samoa’ climate is tropical all year round, with two distinct seasons – the dry season running from May to October and the wet season from November to April.

Warmth and sunshine can be enjoyed year-round in the Cook Islands. Severe weather is rare and infrequent, the drier cooler season runs from April to November. The warmer, more humid season runs from December to March

Wine and Dine

In Samoan culture food is a social event that brings together family and friends to share the bountiful wonders nature has provided, hotels offer traditional Samoan food, usually at their Fiafia nights, with traditional buffets and entertainment. It is recommended that bottled water is drank in Samoa.

Wine and Dine

Shopping

The local Punanga Nui marketplace comes alive every Saturday from 6am-midday, if you’re looking for a souvenir to take home or some local food to try, then this is the place for you! Local handicrafts, pareus (sarongs), t-shirts, ukeleles, tivaivai (local quilts) local produce, carvings and the most romantic souvenir of them all, the Cook Islands Black Pearl are all available for purchase.

Fiji’s best known outdoor cooking experience is the Lovo, an underground oven of heated rocks cooking a variety of foods wrapped in banana leaves for several hours with a faintly smoky flavour. Fresh water in the major towns has been treated and is safe to drink from the tap, check with your chosen resort about the tap water.

Wine and Dine

Shopping

Shopping in Samoa has an appeal of its own, with a variety of colours, artefacts, traditional fare and bartering!

In Fiji, you’ll discover unique cultural and historical artefacts, stylish international boutique fashions as well as budget gift and souvenir shops.

Travel Tips

Travel Tips Fiji welcomes visitors; a valid passport for at least six months beyond the intended period of stay and a ticket for return or onward travel is a must. Entry visas are granted on arrival for a stay of 4 months or less for UK nationals

Money Matters The currency of Fiji is the Fijian Dollar, money can be changed at the Airport, banks and some hotels. Credit cards are accepted in most shops and restaurants.

Heavenly Islands of the Pacific

Visitors to Samoa are not required to obtain an entry permit for stays of less than 30 days, however you must have a return or onward ticket and your passport must be valid for six months of more at the time of entry into the country. A departure tax of ST$40 applies to all travellers over the age of 12 years (approx £9)

Money Matters The Samoa decimal currency is the Tala (dollar). All major foreign currencies are exchangeable in Samoa. Samoa Tala can also be purchased outside the country from selected banks, however you will need to check with your bank if you can order some before you depart. Credit cards are widely accepted in the major hotels, restaurants and stores.

Experience an Island night feast & cultural show which is offered at the most of the major hotels. The fare on offer is a tantalising mixture of local meats, seafood & vegetables.

Shopping

Travel Tips Stays of up to 31 days require a valid passport and a return ticket only. There is a local departure tax of NZD30 (approx £13) this must be paid upon departure, and is not included as part of prepaid taxes with airline tickets. Fruits and plants are not allowed into the country.

Money Matters The Cook Islands unit of currency is the New Zealand dollar. Westpac Bank has an exchange and departure tax service available at the airport for all international flights.

THE FAR EAST THE FAR EAST and the Orient are areas that conjure up a myriad of images; from a swaying palm tree backing a white sandy beach on a secluded island off the coast of Thailand, to the high rise hustle and bustle of the most modern cities in the world, such as Tokyo or Singapore. It really is a land of contrasts; the climate can go from idyllic blue skies with scarcely a breath of wind to Pacific typhoons battering the coasts of China and Korea.

Travel Tips

The climate of South East Asia is mainly tropical; it is hot and humid all year round. The Orient is more seasonal with distinct cold winter periods in Japan, Korea and China. Pacific storms or typhoons occur year round, but are more prevalent in June to October.

Visas are not required to visit most countries in South East Asia for up to 30 days. However, British nationals require visas to enter Mainland China, but not Hong Kong. You should generally have six months remaining on your passport if you are considering a visit to the Far East. Visas are required for UK nationals entering Indonesia; a tourist visa can be obtained on arrival for a specific short period.

Shopping

Wine and Dine The food of South East Asia and the Orient is one of the major attractions of the area. From the spicy tastes of Thai and Malay foods, through to the refined, delicate flavours of Japanese and Korean food. Chinese food varies enormously through its many regions; a lot of influences from China have spread throughout the region. Western food is also now generally available across the Far East. Each country has its own locally produced beers and liquors, many wines are made from grains such as rice and have a taste very different to vine based wines.

This regions shopping spans the great divide from the high tech gadgets of Japan through to the bustling market stalls of Bali. Each country has a real diversity in the range of goods that are available. The region has a great reputation for tailors, suits can be made to measure in some Asian cities within a few hours. There are large shopping malls that would rival those in America in places like Thailand and the Philippine. The spice markets of Singapore’s Little India bring the senses to life and create a heady atmosphere far removed from the more western experiences of the Orchard Road.

www.jetsetholidays.com

Local transport can be inconsistent in some regions; however in Japan it is especially efficient and modern.

26th – 28th September 2008 Singapore Grand Prix

Money Matters Each country in the Far East has its own currency. Credit cards are widely accepted throughout the region in major cities and tourist areas. Currency exchange is possible in larger hotels, airports and some financial institutions. Note that exchanging Scottish and Northern Irish bank notes may not always be possible.

Day 6: Chiang Mai The city of Chaing Mai has a wealth of beautiful and historic Buddhist temples and on this tour you visit the most fascinating of those temples. Near the summit of Doi Suthep is the 600 year old temple of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. After a drive up the mountain’s winding road, the final climb to the site is via an enormous mythological Nagas Dragon headed serpent staircase of 306 steps (lifts are available.)

Jetset have brochured the following destinations: Jamaica, Barbados, Antigua, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, The British Virgin Islands, Tobago, The Bahamas, Cayman Islands and Cuba. We can provide single centre holidays to all of these destinations, and can match all destinations with the exception of Cuba to a variety of stopover cities in the USA to make your own choice of twin or even multi-centre itineraries.

The Caribbean has a variety of local currencies. Most countries accept US Dollars, US travellers’ cheques are recommended (banks often give a better exchange rate than hotels.) In tourist areas and larger towns you will find cash machines (ATMs) that accept major credit cards and dispense local cash at favourable exchange rates.

HEALTH & SAFETY No vaccinations are required when visiting the Caribbean. The Caribbean is a vast region including different countries that vary widely in number of inhabitants, social economic development and standard of living. Whilst the region is politically stable and generally safe, travellers are advised to take the usual precautions and take care of personal belongings. All visitors are recommended to take out travel insurance before their departure.

FOOD The Caribbean has an enormously varied cuisine, with foods and cooking styles that have come to the region from around the world. From classy restaurants with the finest food in the world; to standing with sand under your toes and a burger at a beach barbecue. Go out for a meal and you can find yourself eating on a deck built over the ocean or with the backdrop of a tropical rainforest. Many chefs have trained overseas before returning home to fuse new ideas with the best of traditional island cuisine but you can always sample local dishes – spicy West Indian stews and soups, créole cookery and exotic vegetables such as yams, cassava and okra.

The Caribbean region benefits from excellent weather conditions all year round, with average temperatures of 80/85° F (27/31°C). From May to November the weather is wetter and the air more humid. The rainy season, however, varies slightly from one country to another with the rainfall in short, sharp bursts. High temperatures are usual throughout this period.

There are many varieties of fruit, from bananas at their best to fresh coconuts and juicy mangoes, which make refreshing drinks between sampling the local cocktails, rums and beers. Many of the all-inclusive hotels we offer will do room only or bed & breakfast rates if you prefer, please ask for details.

As in all tropical climates, extreme weather conditions can prevail. Atmospheric pressure generally experienced in the Atlantic can cause tropical depressions, some of which develop into tropical storms each year from June to November. Only a few of these are classified as hurricanes. Statistically, more than 80% of all tropical storms occur during mid-September and through modern satellite tracking facilities the risk of experiencing a hurricane is greatly reduced.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUNAVUT

The United States has everything you could possibly want in a holiday destination. There are tropical beaches fringed by palm trees; wooded hills, valleys and canyons perfect for hiking and exploring; bustling cities with some of the most memorable and instantly recognisable landmarks in the world; wide open roads to explore in fantastic self-drive country or just sit back and watch the country go by on an escorted coach tour. There is cruising from the ports of Florida, California, New York and Washington State. The vast size of the country makes twin and three centre holidays a great way to explore; many airlines allow two free stopovers to enable you to explore the vast range of attractions this country has to offer. The USA is an ideal holiday destination with something for everybody – discover it through Jetset Holidays.

Climate The USA experiences every sort of climate, as you would imagine from such a huge land mass; from the tropical heat of Florida to the severe winters of the Great Lakes and the Rockies. The west coast is more Mediterranean in climate, the Deep South is pleasant in the winter, but can be oppressively hot in the summer.

produced, followed by Washington State, Oregon and New York. America is the fourth largest wine producer and the biggest outside Europe. American beer tends to be light in colour and served chilled, though many more micro breweries are producing more interesting ales that are well worth sampling.

Wine and Dine

Shopping

The food in the USA is far more enticing than the hamburgers, hot dogs and fries you may imagine! Sophisticated restaurants are spread all over the country, serving cuisines from throughout the world to a very high standard. Regional varieties of cuisine are inevitable through such a huge country, from the barbecue of the south, to the seafood and chowders of New England; the steaks of the Midwest and the Pacific Rim influences of California and Hawaii.

Over 90% of visitors to the USA go shopping, now the most popular activity whilst in the States. With the current favourable exchange rates, many items are half the price of their UK equivalent. Wherever in the USA you travel there are large comfortable malls, funky downtown stores or specialist shops of every description to satisfy your retail yearnings! The biggest malls in the USA are located at the King of Prussia in Pennsylvania, the Mall of America at Minneapolis, South Coast Plaza at Orange County, California and at Millcreek Mall on the shores of Lake Eerie, Pennsylvania.

American wine is produced in all fifty states, Californian wine is the most famous and heavily

Visitors to the USA from the UK holding UK passports can use the visa waiver scheme; simply fill in the forms handed to you either at check-in or on the aircraft and you are free to stay in the USA for up to 90 days. Your passport must be machine readable. You will need a visa if: You have been arrested (even if not convicted), have a criminal record, have a serious, communicable disease (including HIV), have been refused entry to the US on a previous occasion or if you have been deported from the USA. An extensive network of air, train and road services means most major destinations can be reached by public transport, however the USA is perfect selfdrive territory, the roads are good and driving is on the right. Tolls are often payable. Cars are almost exclusively automatics, if you are planning to drive whilst in the states, ensure you are confident with automatic driving before you arrive!

MISSOURI

The Legend of Jesse James Self Drive (5 days/4 nights)

Located right at the heart of the United States lies the great state of Missouri. Whatever your taste; cosmopolitan cities, a rich and diverse history, live music, the great outdoors or beer and motorbikes - you will find what you are looking for in Missouri. It is an ideal choice for individual travellers, couples and families alike. You will soon become aware that Missouri enjoys many large natural lakes and is known for its picturesque countryside and outdoor pursuits. Missouri represents what has become known as the “Real America”. The cities may be reminiscent of European capitals - yet only here can you see where

the Pony Express began, visit the town that inspired Mark Twain to create Huckleberry Finn, ride to the top of America’s tallest man-made structure (the magnificent Gateway Arch) or tour the house where outlaw Jesse James was gunned down. Kansas City gave birth to jazz, and is a Mecca for music lovers from across the world. Branson is America’s capital of live music with more theatre seats than Broadway, and St Louis is the home of blues and ragtime.

Day 1: UK – Detroit – Kansas City Leave from you chosen UK airport for your flight with Northwest to Detroit, transfer onwards for your flight to Kansas City. On arrival in Missouri, collect you Dollar rental car and drive to your 3* hotel. Four Nights Stay: The Quality Inn & Suites.

On a trip to Missouri, you can explore and discover first hand history, events and sights that were central to America’s beginnings and heritage.

Day 2: Kansas City Today, get orientated in the city, perhaps take a self-guided walking tour and explore the Crossroads Art district. The food in Kansas City is famous for its culinary delights, the legend of Kansas City barbecue or the great taste of a Kansas City strip steak. Day 3: Kansas City – Kearney – St. Joseph Today explore the legend that was Jesse James, drive the 25 miles north to Kearney, Missouri. The James farm was the birthplace of the legendary outlaw, and the museum and original farm celebrate the life of Jesse and his brother Frank. Drive onwards northwest across Missouri to St Joseph. Visit the James Home where Jesse was killed in 1882, the Patee House Museum and Pony Express Museum both capture the essence of those bygone days and are well worth a visit. In the evening head back south to your hotel in Kansas City. Day 4: Kansas City Take advantage of Kansas City’s great shopping on your last full day in Missouri. Perhaps explore the shops of the threelevel Crown Center, or the premier Kansas City retail destination the Country Club Plaza. Day 5: Kansas City – Detroit – UK Return your car back to Kansas City Airport before you fly back to London, changing planes in Detroit enroute. Price from: £639 per person, departing from London Heathrow or Gatwick. To fly from Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow or Edinburgh add £50.

When NCL introduced Freestyle Cruising, they broke the mould of traditional cruise holidays, putting the emphasis on fun, freedom, flexibility and the choice to do just what you want when you want. NCL Freestyle Dining Your table awaits in an unparalleled choice of restaurants so you could dine somewhere different almost every evening. With no fixed seating times or assigned tables and dinner served from 5.30pm to midnight*, you’re free to dine where, when and with *Guests must be seated by 10pm. whom you wish. NCL Freestyle Experience On board every ship, you’ll discover a beautiful Health Spa; a fitness centre; shops and a casino* and evening entertainment to *On-board casinos are not available in Hawai’i. suit your mood. NCL Freestyle Gratuities At NCL, they’ve made giving gratuities easier. A fixed service charge of $10 per person, per day will be added to your shipboard account to cover these tips. In addition, a suggested gratuity of 15% is automatically added to all drink bills and for certain optional services. NCL Freestyle Service You’ll notice it the minute you step on board… a smiling face, a helping hand and the kind of friendly, professional service that makes you feel welcome. That’s because on NCL ships they have around one crew member for every stateroom and it really makes a difference. NCL Freestyle is your style You’re on holiday, not in the army, smart casual is fine anytime day or evening, but if you’d like to dress up in black tie or cocktail dress, there’s always an optional formal evening in a designated main restaurant when you can be as glamorous as you like. NCL Freestyle Disembarkation NCL aim to make the last day of your cruise as carefree as the first. That’s why, wherever possible and when local immigration procedures allow, they offer NCL Freestyle Disembarkation. There’s no need to hurry, so relax over breakfast and step ashore at your leisure.

Travel Tips

Spring arrives as early as February on the west coast. In the rest of Canada, temperatures warm up in early April and the pleasant spring weather extends to June. Summers across Canada bring warm to hot weather from late May to late September. Autumn months bring cool, pleasant temperatures. Much of the Canadian landscape is blanketed in snow in winter, with snowfall beginning in late October and temperatures generally going below freezing.

You can spend your way through the intriguing neighbourhoods of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, or spend several days browsing the world's largest shopping centre: The West Edmonton Mall in Alberta. You can dig up a bargain on Arctic diamonds fresh from the mine or sweeten your life with authentic Canadian maple syrup from a sugar shack in the woods.

Visas are not generally required for British Citizens visiting Canada for short periods, however if you intend to travel on to the United States you should check the entry requirements of the US authorities. An extensive network of air, train and road services means most major destinations can be reached by public transport, however Canada is perfect self-drive territory, the roads are good and driving is on the right. It's a good idea to book your accommodation in advance, especially during the busy summer period - from June to August and over public holiday weekends.

Wine and Dine Traditionally, Canadian cuisine is based around seasonal, fresh ingredients, and preserves. The cuisine includes a lot of baked foods, wild game, fish and gathered foods. Comfort foods and warming winter dishes are abundant. The southern regions of Ontario and British Columbia are wine producing and Canadian beers are increasingly popular.

Money Matters The Canadian Dollar is obviously the currency, credit cards are accepted almost everywhere and money exchange is possible in most airports, hotels and banks.

Selected Major Events Accommodation may be especially difficult to find at these times, although we at Jetset have huge reserves of accommodation for your benefit, however, you may find prices are inflated and availability very tight, unless you book early: 6th-8th June 2008 Montreal Grand Prix 26th June – 6th July 2008 Montreal Jazz Festival 4th – 13th July 2008 Calgary Stampede 10th – 20th July 2008 Just for Laughs comedy festival, Montreal 4th – 17th August 2008 Festival Vancouver 4th – 13th September 2008 Toronto International Film Festival 19th – 28th September 2008 Niagara Wine Festival 19th October 2008 Toronto Marathon 6th – 22nd February 2009 Winterlude, Ottawa

Departs Mondays at 1400 from Arusha by minibus, with a driver guide Monday: Arusha - Lake Manyara You will be collected from Arusha, and driven to Lake Manyara, for dinner and an overnight stay at the Lake Manyara Serena Lodge. Lake Manyara National Park is consumed by the shallow, alkaline lake. The land portion of the Park is situated between the lake and the sheer rock walls of the Rift Valley escarpment that tower above. The park is a bird watchers paradise, and the lush forests are the best places to see leopards. Tuesday & Wednesday: Ngorongoro Morning game drives within Lake Manyara National Park with breakfast and lunch at the lodge. After lunch drive through to the Ngorongoro Serena for 2 nights, including meals. The crater is a huge collapsed volcano and has a spectacular abundance of wildlife, including Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino, making it a wonder of the natural world. Thursday & Friday: Serengeti After breakfast, depart with a picnic lunch for the Serengeti National Park. En route visit the Olduvai Gorge. Arrive at the Serengeti Serena for 2 nights including meals. The Olduvai Gorge is commonly referred to as “The Cradle of Mankind.” It is a steep-sided ravine in the Great Rift Valley, which stretches

along eastern Africa. Olduvai is in the eastern Serengeti Plains in northern Tanzania. It is one of the most important prehistoric sites in the world and has been instrumental in furthering our understanding of early human evolution. Serengeti ecosystem is one of the oldest on earth. The essential features of climate, vegetation and fauna have barely changed in the past million years. It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. The wildebeest and zebras make their way south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November and then turn west and north after the long rains in April, May and June.

The Lodge is built onto the rim of the amazing Ngorongoro crater. It is built of stones and boulders and is literally hidden in the vegetation of the crater’s rim. Each of the 75 bedrooms, have private terraces with uninterrupted views across the grasslands, forests, lakes and rivers that make up the crater floor. Many of the rooms and public

Essential Holiday Information This information is designed to make holiday decisions more straightforward. Please read the following page very carefully, if there is anything you do not understand, or that is not answered below then please do not hesitate to contact us prior to booking your Jetset holiday.

Passports and visas The name on the passport must match the name on the ticket or you may not be allowed to travel and insurance is invalid. British Citizens: All passengers, including infants and children, require a ten year passport (five years for children and infants). It is your responsibility to have a valid passport, and visa if necessary, which must be valid for 6 months beyond your date of return to the UK for entry into many countries. Different countries apply different rules and more information is available on line or by telephone from the consulate or embassy of the country you are visiting. A visa is required for Australia. ETA visa applications can be processed by Jetset for British Passport holders in conjunction with a Jetset booking. Please see page 179 for details required for this service. Visa’s are valid for stays up to three months and cannot be combined with any other Australian visa. A visa is required for passengers in transit in Australia for more than eight hours. These applications received will be noted on your confirmation and invoice. For stopovers at other destinations please check at the time of booking. Non British Citizens: Visa requirements may differ for non-British passport holders/ holders of British Passports issued overseas - please ensure you have the appropriate documentation. We have highlighted some of the countries specific requirements in the introductions to different geographical areas in the brochure, however different countries apply different rules and more information is available on line or by telephone from the consulate or embassy of the country you are visiting. For visitors to the USA, the Visa Waiver Program is a scheme that British Passport holders may avail themselves of, this involves completing forms handed out at check-in or on the plane that are handed in on arrival at US immigration. British Passport holders are eligible for this service unless they: • Want to remain in the United States for longer than 90 days • Want to work or study in the United States • Does not have a machine-readable passport (MRP) • Has been refused a visa or admission to the United States before • Has a criminal record or other condition making them ineligible for a visa. Sun and food In some foreign countries general standards of hygiene, care and safety may differ from those in the UK. You should exercise greater care for your own protection and health in matters of hygiene and choice of food and drink especially raw food such as vegetables or shellfish and drinking water and ice and drinks. Health The risk of bites from insects and other animals may be reduced by using repellent sprays and covering up whenever possible. Have a small first aid kit with you and include plasters, insect repellent, and antiseptic cream along with any prescribed medication. Sexually transmitted diseases (including AIDS) are a serious threat to health throughout the world. Please exercise caution when on holiday. Skin piercing such as acupuncture, tattooing and ear piercing should be avoided. Rabies is a serious hazard all over the world. If you are bitten or scratched, seek medical attention immediately. If you have any difficulty, contact the British Consular official. See your doctor as soon as you get back to the UK whether treatment was given or not. Department of Health leaflet T1 (Travellers Guide to Health) is available from an ABTA travel agent or local Department of Health office and we advise all clients to obtain a copy of this leaflet before travelling overseas. In most countries around the world you will have to pay for treatment so travellers are strongly advised to take out private health insurance. The UK has reciprocal healthcare agreements with some countries, which enables travellers to receive free or low cost emergency care. For Information on planning ahead (including information on health insurance and benefits), some general advice on staying healthy while you're away and what to do when you get home we recommend you refer to the Department of Health website. Children and safety Please ensure that children do not travel alone in lifts, that they stand well away from lift doors and that they are supervised on your balcony and around the pool area. Cots and high chairs provided in hotels often do not conform to the British Safety Standards and we recommend you exercise caution in their use. Vaccinations Vaccinations are recommended or are compulsory for a number of featured destinations. For up to date information please check the Department of Health website or contact your local MASTA Travel clinic. Travel advice You can access latest information from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s website www.fco.gov.uk/travel or telephone 0870 606 0290. Watersports Watersports are often provided by individual hotels. Most have adequate insurance but it is your responsibility to ensure insurance provides adequate cover. It will be assumed all clients partaking in watersports are able to swim. We strongly suggest that all clients refrain from high-risk activities whilst on holiday, particularly jet skis, as the operators often have no insurance. Your own travel insurance policy is also unlikely to cover any “dangerous activities” lease check your policy wording very carefully.

Money We recommend that you take travellers cheques in Sterling or US Dollars, which can be changed into cash at most overseas banks and hotels. Credit cards are widely accepted abroad and we suggest that at least one credit card is taken with you, as this may be required as a security deposit at your hotel. Packing Please be sure that your luggage is in good condition. Standard baggage allowance can vary from airline to airline. Please contact the relevant airline to confirm your allowance, prior to departure. departure. As a very general rule, travellers in economy class receive 20KG allowance, unless travelling over the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans where it is often calculated at 2 pieces of checked in baggage per person (often with attached weight restrictions) Allowances in business and first class are often greater. Please be aware that if your itinerary involves several different airlines, clients are advised to stick to the lowest baggage allowance of the airlines involved, or you may find yourself paying excess baggage charges. All airlines have indicated that baggage allowances will be strictly adhered to, with charges imposed for excess baggage. If you are unsure please call the Administration Team. Do NOT pack in your hold luggage the following items: • Passports • Visa documentation • Vaccination certificates • Holiday invoices • Flight tickets • Insurance Certificates • Travellers Cheques • Driving Licence • Electrical items • Livestock • Medication • Uncooked Food • Matches • Baby food and changing items in the event of delays! Please ensure that all electrical equipment is packed in your hand luggage. For the carriage of special items of luggage or equipment, for example, wheelchairs, windsurfing or diving equipment, bicycles or golf clubs, please contact the Jetset Team on 0845 0257 757 for advice and clearance - there may be a charge for certain items as this may be extra to your normal baggage allowance.

Your outward journey Please check-in for your flight approximately 3 hours prior to the departure time on your flight tickets. Though some airlines allow us to prebook certain seats for clients, we are unable to confirm specific seats (especially emergency exit and bulkhead seats) on an aircraft. However, should any special seating arrangements or catering be necessary, for medical reasons only, please notify the Jetset Team on 0845 0257 757 as soon as possible providing medical proof from your Doctor. Whilst Jetset will do everything possible to ensure such requests are met, we are unable to guarantee requests of this nature. Many UK airports are ‘silent airports’ whereby no boarding calls are made and it is therefore essential that all passengers check the computer screens in the departure lounges for boarding details. On arrival In the unlikely event of your baggage being mislaid or damaged on your arrival at your destination airport, you must inform an Airline Representative immediately who will help you to obtain and complete a Property Irregularity Report and a Customs Declaration form.

On occasion it may be possible to obtain a day room subject to availability and extra payment. Our Reservations Team can pre-book your room until departure; however, this will incur a cost often equivalent to the full nightly brochure rate. Alternatively, a courtesy room may be available in resort however, this is not a guarantee. For passengers on Self-Drive or Motorhome holidays, vehicles must be returned to the vehicle office from which you originally picked up your vehicle unless a one way rental has been agreed. Please be aware that it is your responsibility to make your own way to the airport to check-in for your flight and to re-confirm flights prior to departure where necessary.

Holiday Planning Service available free on 0845 02 57 757

Beds in your room including extra beds Usually there are twin beds or a double bed in each bedroom. A 3rd or 4th person sharing a room usually shares existing bedding or has an additional bed placed in the room where space permits. Rollaway beds are sometimes available and these will be charged locally. A triple or quad room is not a three or four bedded room. They are just rooms that will sleep three or four persons. Accommodation in the tropics In many hotels, especially beach resorts, ‘insects’ in the rooms are almost inevitable. It is simply a fact of life in these destinations. Meals Hotels, which include main meals, generally commence with dinner on the day of arrival at your hotel and terminate with breakfast (on half board) or lunch (on full board) on the day of departure. Meals are taken in the hotels’ specified restaurant. Most hotels will allow you to dine in one of their other restaurants for a supplement payable locally. Please be aware that some hotels operate a voucher system for guests who have purchased or have pre-paid for meal packages at time of booking. Water/Electricity services In many of the featured countries, water and electricity services struggle to keep up with the demands of tourism. Limited rainfall can put further pressure on their provision. Whilst hotels do everything possible to maintain full services, occasional power cuts and water restrictions can apply. Room upgrades/honeymooners Many hotels in the Caribbean, Far East and Indian Ocean will make special arrangements for honeymooners, please ask our reservations staff at the time of booking. It is not always possible to guarantee the provision of a double bed for honeymoon couples, although we will always request this for you. Diving It is not advisable to dive within 24 hours of arrival in or departure from your destination or within 24 hours of any flight. This may also apply to activities involving high altitude, e.g. hot air ballooning. Resort Fees Please be aware that many hotels in the United States and Hawaii charge a resort fee. This is usually an amount per day payable for inclusions such as car parking, use of Watersports or resort facilities. Please check with us at time of booking, if your chosen hotel applies this charge. Excursions Most excursions (though not all) collect you from the hotel where you are staying. It is imperative that you are at the assigned pick-up point at the agreed time. Please reconfirm your excursions 24 hours before you participate, check your documentation for details. Local customs and laws As our featured destinations are outside the European Union, we would ask that clients recognise that certain social and cultural differences do exist between the EU and your chosen destination. Whilst many of these differences can enhance your holiday experience, we would ask that you exercise discretion should any instance that may offend arise. Drinking and driving The age limit for driving overseas is generally 21 years. UK driving licenses are required, and must have been held for a minimum of one year. Strict penalties and fines are in operation in all resorts for drink driving. What’s included in the price Please refer to the price panels appropriate to your chosen flight option and hotel destination. Prices are almost always based on two sharing and are from prices, subject to our required booking class of flights and room grades at hotels being available. Flight information All flights in this brochure are operated on the scheduled services of the airlines featured in the brochure. Some flights may be operated by alternative airlines, as a shared service. We reserve the right to substitute alternative carriers and/or aircraft types if necessary. All flights are subject to the granting of licences by the appropriate authorities. Other flights may be made available. Please check with Jetset or your travel agent for further details. Direct flights on scheduled airlines sometimes include a refuelling or operational stop. Whilst we confirm your itinerary to the best of our knowledge, airlines can amend schedules to suit their business. A schedule change may range from 5 minutes to a day or more depending on the frequency of the flight. If a day(s) schedule change does occur we will offer a revised itinerary and holiday cost to accommodate that change. Please note however the price could be higher or lower dependent on the hotels/resorts affected.

INFORMATION

Brochure accuracy We have compiled the information in our brochure as accurately as possible at the time of going to press. However we would ask you to appreciate that a brochure is prepared well in advance of the commencement of the programme. There may be occasions when an advertised facility or amenity is not available during your holiday. As we do not own or manage hotels or apartments, we do not have any direct control over the day-to-day running of a property i.e. certain facilities may require maintenance or improvement, amenities may be changed, cancelled or curtailed due to weather conditions, lack of demand etc. The majority of facilities do operate normally. However, should facilities be altered or withdrawn for reasons outside the company’s control, we will endeavour to notify you of such changes where possible. General note As space is limited in the brochure, should any of our passengers, whether experienced or first time travellers, require any further information regarding their chosen holiday resort please see our website or contact our Administration Team on 08700 506 747. Cyclone and Hurricane advice The official Cyclone season in Australia and the Far East runs from October-April. In the Caribbean and the southern United States the

hurricane season spans from June to November. During this time we track all storm activity and are therefore usually in a position to notify you a few days before in the unlikely event that a hurricane is due to hit your chosen destination. Please note that all storms can be unpredictable often changing direction and speed without warning. Please rest assured that we will contact you as soon as possible to advise you in the event that a cyclone threatens whilst you are on holiday. We will also, through our ground agents, make any necessary arrangements on your behalf. Should a cyclone threaten before you are due to travel, we will endeavour to contact you or your travel agent and will consider your chosen destination and make available to you, subject to specific airline policy, (to the extent we consider necessary to protect your safety) the option to amend, postpone or cancel your holiday arrangements without any amendment charges being levied.

In the event that you cancel your booking prior to the date on which the special offer air fare tickets are printed, we agree to reimburse to you the deposit paid in respect of the special offer air fare ticket, at the loss of any standard deposit paid. The terms and conditions relating to “If you want to cancel” as set out in the Booking Conditions will also apply. 4. If you want to cancel your booking after the date when the special offer air fare ticket is printed, you will not be entitled to any refund of either the standard deposit or the special offer air fare. The terms and conditions relating to “If you want to cancel or amend your booking” as set out in the Booking Conditions will also apply. 5. Name changes in respect of special offer air fare tickets are not permitted at any time after your booking has been confirmed. A name change will be treated as a cancellation and rebooking and airlines will charge a 100% cancellation fee and the cost of issuing a new ticket. The cost of the new ticket may be greater than the original special offer air fare ticket.

Special Offer Air Fares Terms and Conditions If an element of your package holiday is a special offer air fare, the following conditions apply in addition to the terms and conditions set out in the Booking Conditions and in the event of any inconsistency the conditions set out below shall prevail. 1.

Page 1

Booking Conditions Below are the conditions of the agreement between you (“you”) and Jetset Tours, Flights & Tailor-Made Holidays (“Jetset”) a Trading Division of Cresta World Travel Limited for either a package (defined below), accommodation only, or between you (“you”) and the supplier (the “supplier”) for flight only bookings. The general conditions below in Section D are applicable to each of package and accommodation only and flight only bookings unless stated otherwise

A. PACKAGES A package is a combination of at least two of the following: (a) transport; (b) accommodation; and/or (c) another service forming a significant part of your holiday, booked at the same time at an inclusive price and for which full payment is made to Jetset. Your contract is with Cresta World Travel Limited, trading as Jetset and your holiday is operated by Cresta World Travel Ltd, ABTA V5018, ATOL 3200. 1. Our agreement When you book a holiday, a contract is made when we or your travel agent confirm your booking. However, please be aware that, where any element of your travel arrangements is on request, your contract with us will be a conditional contract until such time as we or your travel agent confirm that element is available. You must sign a booking form at the time of making your booking, which is your commitment to pay for the whole holiday. You must pay a deposit of £150 per person at the time you make your booking plus, if applicable an additional payment for an Air Fare or special offer component of the holiday requiring instant purchase, which will be deducted from your final balance. You must pay the rest of your holiday price to your travel agent, or to Jetset ten weeks before you leave. You may pay by cash, cheque or credit card. If you wish to pay by credit card, a charge of 2% to a maximum of £20 per person will be levied. If you do not pay the requisite amounts by the due dates, we may cancel your booking and ask you to pay cancellation charges as set out in paragraph 6 of this Section. The person signing the booking form or the lead name on the booking accepts full responsibility for paying for all of the people on the booking and for keeping everyone in the party informed of the booking details. 2. Your holiday price Jetset cannot control the cost of its holiday components and reserves the right to revise prices after a booking has been confirmed, subject to these limitations: Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports and exchange rates, mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. However there will be no change within 30 days of your departure. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.

OUR OBLIGATION TO YOU 3. If we change your booking or cancel your holiday before you leave We try to avoid making any changes to your holiday arrangements. However, we may need to make changes as our holidays are planned many months beforehand. If we make any changes before your booking, Jetset or your travel agent will tell you before you finish making the booking. Flight times shown in this brochure are for guidance only and may change. In accordance with EU Regulations we will advise you of the actual carrier operating your flights and the confirmed flight times at the time of booking and this information will be shown on your booking confirmation and on your tickets which you should check carefully when you receive them. Any changes to the actual airline after you have received your tickets will be notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding gate. Such a change is deemed to be a minor change. Other examples of minor changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same standard. We will try to tell you about any minor charge before you leave for your holiday. Occasionally we may have to make major changes to your holiday. If this is the case we will always attempt to find you an alternative holiday of equivalent or superior quality and we will pay you compensation according to the table in this paragraph. Major changes may include the following. Please note that these are examples only and there may be other changes which constitute major changes. • We need to reduce your stay in the resort by over 12 hours. • We have to change your accommodation to a lower Jetset rating. • We have to change your holiday to a different country or different area of the same country. If we make a major change, you may accept that change and receive compensation, or cancel your holiday and receive a full refund with compensation. The compensation we will pay is shown in the scale below. However, in no case will we pay compensation if the change is due to events listed in the Important Note: Period of Compensation for each full Notice fare paying passenger More than 56 days 0 43 to 56 days £10 29 to 42 days £20 15 to 28 days £30 0 to 14 days £40

Important Note Compensation arrangements do not apply to circumstances beyond our control. We can cancel or amend your holiday without paying compensation in the following circumstances: war, threat of war, riots, civil strife or terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters, fire, airport closures, bad weather conditions and similar events beyond our control. 4. Changes after the start of your holiday Very occasionally we have to change your holiday arrangements after you arrive in the resort, in which case, we will try to place you in accommodation of the same or higher standard in the same or a similar resort. We will pay you compensation as per the scale shown in paragraph 3 of this Section. The Important Note in paragraph 3 of this Section, regarding compensation also applies after the start of your holiday. 5. Our responsibility We arrange contracts for holiday arrangements through suppliers who we have taken reasonable care to make sure have good reputations and run safe and efficient businesses. We monitor and control the performance of our suppliers and judge their performance against the standards and customs in the country where the services are provided. We will pay compensation if those suppliers are at fault and fail to provide the services they agreed to provide. We will accept liability for claims for personal injury arising as a result of our staff and suppliers being negligent while in the course of their employment or contract. We cannot accept liability in the following circumstances: a. If you or any member of your party is at fault. b. If the failure is the fault of someone else not concerned with providing the services which make up the holiday which we have confirmed to you. c. Any unusual or unexpected circumstances beyond our control, which we could not have avoided even if we had used all reasonable care possible. d. Any event which we or the supplier of any service could not help, expect, or prevent. We will offer prompt help to you if you suffer any difficulty while you are on holiday. If, through no fault of your own you suffer illness, personal injury or death during the period of your holiday arising out of an activity which is not part of the holiday arrangements we have sold you, we will help sort out any claim you may have against anyone else. This may include providing translation services, communicating with authorities and others in foreign resorts. We cannot accept liability for any payment unless you have told us within 90 days of the incident that you want to make a claim and we have given our written permission. We may ask you to pay back any payment we have made if you make a successful claim against the other person or you have suitable legal indemnity insurance. If our suppliers can exclude or limit liability under any international convention, we will rely on that exclusion or limitation. Any compensation we pay for claims against us, other than compensation for personal injuries, will not be more than three times the cost of your holiday e. Denied Boarding Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in clause 3. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this amount. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Air Transport Users' Council (www.caa.co.uk/auc) on 020 7240 6061 (Consumer advice line Mon to Thurs 9.30am to 2.30pm)

YOUR OBLIGATION TO US 6. If you want to cancel We will ask you to pay cancellation charges on the scale shown below. These charges reflect our estimated loss as a result of dealing with your booking to the point of cancellation and any other losses we may have to pay. Period before you leave Amount of cancellation charge within which we shown as a percentage of the receive written notice total holiday price 43 days or more Deposit (plus any Pre Paid airfare Special Components) 22 to 42 days 50% (plus any Pre Paid excess of airfare Special Components) 15 to 21 days 75% (plus any Pre Paid excess of airfare Special Components) 0 to 14 days 100% NB. You may be able to make a claim under your travel insurance policy if your cancellation falls within the conditions of the policy. 7. If you want to change your booking We will always try to assist you if you wish to change your booking details, although we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. All amendments are subject to availability. We will charge an amendment fee of £50per person, to a maximum of £150 per booking. If the change increases the holiday price by £250 or more per person, we will waive this amendment fee (except when the departure date of the booking changes, amendment fees will apply). Where possible, this fee will apply up to 42 days before departure. If you change within 42 days of departure, cancellation charges on the scale above will be imposed. Changes that take the departure date of the holiday beyond the current brochure validity will be treated as a cancellation, and cancellation charges on the scale above in paragraph 6 will be imposed. If you have paid accommodation supplements and the number in your booking or your accommodation changes, you may be liable for additional supplements. Name changes (which may include a change of just one letter), involving scheduled airlines are normally regarded as a cancellation and re-booking.

Holiday Planning Service available free on 0845 02 57 757

Our Jetset Team can sometimes make the necessary amendments with an administration charge of £50.00. Such changes are, however, subject to availability and any additional cancellation or amendment charges imposed by the airline and these will be added on to the holiday cost accordingly. Insurance premiums are not transferable to another passenger. Changing of holidays to another holiday featured in a different brochure or programme constitutes a cancellation, and cancellation charges on the scale above in paragraph 6 will be imposed. To make any changes to your booking, please contact your travel agent, or if you have booked with Jetset, please call 0845 0257 757. 8. Insurance It is a condition of booking a holiday with us that you take out sufficient travel insurance, we recommend Citybond Travel Insurance and recommend that you call them on 0800 093 4647 and quote CRE06. The cost of medical and other treatment overseas can be high, and if you do not have insurance, we will not be able to help you pay those costs.

B. ACCOMMODATION ONLY Hotels or other ground arrangements which do not include air travel, or hotels booked at a different time to air tickets, are accepted as Accommodation Only under the same terms outlined in Section A above (excluding references to airlines) with the following amendments. 1. Your accommodation price Save as otherwise indicated at the time of booking, accommodation only bookings are available for a minimum stay of 1 night. You must pay a deposit of £150 per person at the time you make your booking and the balance ten weeks prior to departure. If the Total amount of the booking is less than the deposit the full amount of the booking is due immediately and a £10 booking fee will be made to cover the cost of arrangements under £150. 2. If you want to change your booking In the event that we are able to change your booking details, we will charge such amendment fees as are imposed on us by our suppliers and our own administration charge of £25 per person. Cancellation charges may apply on changes within 42 days of departure. To make any changes please call the Jetset Team on 0845 0257 757. 3. Late Bookings All late bookings will be payable prior to confirmation from the supplier that there is availability. Should there be no availability at the hotel requested, an alternative of the same Jetset rating will be booked.

C. FLIGHT ONLY If you book Flight Only with Jetset, or book air tickets at a different time to accommodation, Jetset will accept the booking as booking agents, your contract being with the supplier concerned (e.g. airline). We are pleased to accept Flight Only bookings operating as Jetset Flights booked through our dedicated reservations department on 0845 0252 777, our authorised travel agents or on our website www.jetsetflights.co.uk 1. The agreement When you book a flight, a contract is made when we or your travel agent confirm your booking. You must pay the flight price at the time you make your booking to your travel agent, or to Jetset if you have booked direct. 2. Your flight price Jetset guarantee the air fare, provided full payment is received in cleared funds by Jetset and tickets have been issued. Our Obligation to You 3. If Airlines change your booking or cancel your flight before you leave Jetset does not own or operate scheduled airlines and cannot control or prevent changes. Jetset therefore reserves the right to change the description of any flight before you book in which case you will be told before a confirmation invoice is issued. For this reason, flight times given are for guidance only and may change due to air traffic control restrictions, weather conditions, maintenance checks or requirement for passengers to check in on time. The confirmed airline and flight times will be shown on your booking confirmation and on your tickets which you should check carefully when you receive them. Jetset is not liable if there is a change to a flight time communicated to you or shown on your tickets and no compensation is payable by Jetset in such cases. Customers are therefore recommended to reconfirm their flights with the airline 72 hours before departure. Should a schedule change apply after your tickets have been issued, amendment charges may apply. In the unlikely event that your flight is cancelled, a full refund will be made of all monies paid to Jetset less any amendment fees or insurance fees payable. No compensation is payable. A list of airlines available for your destination can be displayed on our website. 4. Our Responsibility As Jetset acts only as a booking agent, Jetset has no liability whatsoever for any aspect of the flight arrangements including baggage and in particular has no liability for any loss, personal injury or death however incurred. 5. Withdrawal of Services If our suppliers withdraw any advertised facilities or services or limit them for any reason, we will try to tell you although we accept no liability whatsoever.

YOUR OBLIGATION TO US 6. Your responsibility You should reconfirm each flight with the relevant airline 72 hours in advance. It is your responsibility to ensure that you arrive at the time and place stated for all departures. 7. If you want to cancel Air tickets may have no refund value whatsoever. Details will be given to you at the time of booking. If you need an air ticket which will allow for a refund or en-route amendment, you must make this clear when booking. Any refunds are entirely at the discretion of the airline concerned and refunds usually take 8-12 weeks, but may take longer. Airlines may refuse to issue replacement tickets for lost or stolen tickets and new tickets may have to be purchased by you.

We rely on the terms and limitations contained in these conventions. Air and sea carriers produce conditions of carriage which form part of your contract both with us and with the air and sea carrier. You can get a copy of these conditions from your travel agent or from us. You must keep to these conditions when you book your holiday. 7. Behaviour We can end your holiday if your behaviour or that of any member of your party is likely in our opinion to cause distress, damage, danger to or to annoy our other customers, employees, property or anyone else. If you are prevented from travelling because any person in authority thinks you appear to be unfit to travel or likely to cause discomfort to or disturb other passengers, we will not be liable to complete your holiday arrangements, and will not be liable for any refund, compensation or any other costs you have to pay.

In respect of Packages, should we not have been able to resolve a matter to your satisfaction by the time you return to the UK, you should contact our Customer Services Department within 28 days of returning home. If you fail to follow these procedures this may affect your rights under this contract. Please do not enclose any originals, such as tickets or receipts, with your initial correspondence, instead enclose copies. Jetset do follow ABTA guidelines when dealing with complaints, however as airlines are not ABTA bonded, replies to airline queries may take longer to respond.

For claims for missing or damaged baggage you must follow the rules either on the back of your ticket or on the Conditions of Carriage provided by the airline you travel with (see paragraph 6 of this Section). You must follow these rules. While we are in control of any baggage, we will accept liability for it if you can prove negligence. We will only pay up to £400.

40 YEARS

CELEBRATING

Jetset is 40 Years Old this year! Perhaps this anniversary reinforces our reputation for producing value for money products. At Jetset we believe in “making the difference” for everyone we serve, be it our colleagues, our customers – the travel agent, or the consumer – our mutual client. We realise that in a market place where a myriad of amazing choices exist throughout the world, striving for consistent excellence is not an option, it is in fact imperative. It is our goal to exceed the expectations of our customers and consumers. To consistently give the very best. Our sole purpose is to create and keep customers. We appreciate our customers’ perceptions of Jetset determine their buying behaviour and ultimately our success. It takes more than keen prices to create a loyal and trusting client base. Our commitment to training, state of the art systems and equipment, dealing only with professional suppliers and principals, are only part of the equation. It is Jetset’s consistency and assurance of courteous, knowledgeable and helpful service which ensures we meet our clients’ demands and enables us to build a prosperous platform from which to grow. At Jetset, we believe excellent service performance generates excellent reward for all.
