All cancellations must be received in writing by APT and are not effective until this notification has been received. If your holiday has commenced, 100% of the full holiday package price is charged. There is no refund for unused services or if portions of the holiday package are missed. Additional cancellation fees may also be charged in respect of accommodation reserved outside the holiday package dates. These cancellation fees are in addition to any fees that may be levied by APT and your travel agent (if any). You acknowledge that the amounts estimated under the Cancellation Policy are reasonable and represent a genuine pre-estimate of APT’s loss. If you request changes after flight bookings have been ticketed or APT has issued your documents, APT will charge you a minimum change or amendment fee of $150 per person in addition to any applicable cancellation fees.

APT Deposit Cancellation Cover Peace of Mind Applicable when an upfront fee of $75 per person is paid with your deposit.

When booking airfares through APT (including when taking advantage of a special offer that includes air travel) standard airline cancellation fees will apply and in some cases the air may be fully non-refundable. In the event of cancellation, these fees will be deducted from the deposit paid, and therefore reduce the credit being held.

Deposit Cancellation Peace of Mind applies to new bookings only and is only valid up until 100 days prior to travel. Credit cannot be exchanged for a cash refund. After five years, unused credit funds will incur the original cancellation conditions as per brochure. This does not replace travel insurance, which we strongly recommend is organised at the time of booking.
