TUI TOURS ACCESSIBILITY We’ve tried to make our tours as accessible as possible for our customers. That’s why we’ve labelled all tours as ‘suitable for those who can walk independently’, as transfers will have steps and some hotels and venues may not be fully accessible. Each tour is marked with an icon to show you the pace of the tour. An English-speaking tour guide will be with you throughout the entire tour, with the exception of our small boat cruises. Our dedicated Tours Contact Centre is available for any other queries. If you, or anyone else travelling with you needs special assistance, is planning on taking a mobility aid or would like to discuss any accessibility requirements, please call 0203 451 2940.

WELCOME TO

TUI TOURS Italy, Costa Rica, Mexico… our TUI Tours rack up some big-name destinations, plus they’re crammed with nature, culture and history. Whether you’re on a safari adventure in Africa or sightseeing in the USA’s neon-lit cities, there’s nothing quite like seeing the real side of a country on a touring holiday. But these aren’t the only reasons to choose TUI for your next big adventure…

LOCAL GUIDES A good guide can take a tour from great to unforgettable – and every one of our guides is trained to the highest standards. You can expect excellent service from a leader who’s superfriendly, a specialist in their field, local to the area and English-speaking.

AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES Imagine sipping a hot cup of traditional Indian tea while marvelling at panoramic views of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Learning to cook traditional Andalusian cuisine in Spain. Or visiting Mayan ruins in Mexico as the sun rises. These are just a few snapshots of the once-in-a-lifetime experiences in store on a TUI Tour.

FLEXIBLE TOUR OPTIONS There’s no such thing as one size fits all when it comes to the adventure of a lifetime. That’s why TUI Tours are flexible. Tailor your free time by choosing from exciting optional experiences. Or, follow your tour with some downtime at a beach hotel. You can also fly from your local airport with our regional flying options.

TUI TOURS DURING COVID-19 As always, your safety is our number one priority, so you can expect lots of new measures in place across the TUI Tours programme. Our tour guides have had extra training, while all hotels will have new hygiene measures and social distancing policies in place based on local regulations. Social distancing measures will also be applied to coach travel, plus there’ll be hand sanitiser stations on board. And rest assured that if any of your planned tour activities are impacted due to COVID-19 restrictions, other activities will be arranged in their place where available.

TUI CARE FOUNDATION & GIVING BACK For every customer, we donate £1 to the TUI Care Foundation – an independent charity on a mission to do good across the globe. Some of these projects feature on our itineraries, so you can see first-hand what we do. You might visit the Wizz Kidz project in South Africa – it helps local children see and learn about their country’s wildlife. Or, visit the Tre Restaurant in Vietnam, which employs disadvantaged young people. And in India, some of our tours visit a gurdwara, where you’ll stop by at lunchtime and join in with feeding the 10,000 pilgrims who come to worship here every day.

MEET THE TEAM TUI Tours are put together by a team of in-the-know destination product team members and led by expert, English-speaking guides. Here, some of the people who work on creating our adventures share their favourite tours.

Jill, from the TUI Tours Head Office, talks about why she loves the American South tour.

Nikky from the TUI Tours Head Office describes why her favourite tour is Costa Rica Grand Tour:

See page 26

See page 16

“It’s a great chance for history buffs to learn more about the American Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement. My highlight, though, was a trip to Memphis to visit Elvis Presley’s incredible Graceland home."

India

“Costa Rica is a really special place for me and it’s also loved by all of our customers who’ve been. My favourite part was catching a glimpse of sloths in the wild on a night walk through the rainforest. Shame I couldn’t take one home.”

Thailand Vietnam Sri Lanka

Angela from the TUI Tours Head Office shares her best bits from the Imperial Cities of Morocco Tour:

See page 48

SPOTLIGHT ON SICILY Get to know Sicily, as you visit the Valley of the Temples, take a tour of Siracusa, and peruse the city of Palermo.

Narinder, one of our TUI Tour Guides in India, explains why the Backwaters of Kerala tour has such appeal:

See page 38

“This adventure is a great opportunity to see and experience some of the fascinating highlights of Morocco. It includes visits to Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes and Fez. Tour favourites for me were shopping in the vibrant Moroccan souks, seeing the beautiful Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca and visiting Jemaa el-Fna Square in Marrakech.”

“I really love sharing details about our local community and showing the traditional methods that we use to create produce from the land, which is the livelihood of the local people. A village walk along the natural backwater canals of Kerala should not be missed.”

THE UNMISSABLE 5

MEMORABLE MOMENTS We know just how to take the TUI Tours wow-factor to the next level – with these once-in-a-lifetime moments. Like a sleepover on a boat in Halong Bay, a fire dance performance in Bali, and a sunrise adventure in Mexico.

1. WATCH A TRADITIONAL FIRE DANCE IN BALI TOUR: SIMPLY BALI Our private Simply Bali tour is packed with memorable moments, but one of the top ones has got to be watching a kecak fire dance at a clifftop temple. This Hindu dance includes fire and chanting, and often has up to 150 performers. The traditional dance is almost 100 years old and shows a battle scene between a king and a prince. And the setting’s just as good as the actual show. You’ll watch the fire dance at the dramatic Uluwatu sea temple. It’s positioned on a cliff above the sea, and is home to hundreds of monkeys. Find this tour online or flick to page 86 in the TUI Best for Adults brochure.

This park is where you’ll find the Elephant Transit Home, where orphaned baby elephants are cared for, rehabilitated, and released back into the wild where they can re-enter Sri Lanka’s elephant herds. On your visit, you’ll see the gentle residents on a safari-style drive, then relax with a glass of bubbly during one of Sri Lanka’s lavender-tinged dusks. For more information, flick to page 32.

3. SLEEP ON A BOAT AT HALONG BAY TOUR: VIBRANT VIETNAM

4. SEE CHICHEN ITZA AT SUNRISE TOUR: MAYAN TRAIL OF MEXICO Get up bright and early to explore the famous Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza before they open to the general public. This complex of temples, ball courts and sacrificial altars is iconic and attracts thousands of tourists every year. Your guide will take you to visit it before breakfast as the sun’s coming up, when you’ll have the best chance of seeing it all without fighting for elbow room. For more information, flick to page 25.

5. VOLUNTEER IN A GURDWARA KITCHEN TOUR: ICONS OF INDIA – TIGERS AND THE TAJ MAHAL While visiting Old Delhi, you’ve have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to really experience life with the locals. Spend some time exploring the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib – one of the most important religious landmarks for Sikhs in Delhi. Afterwards, you’ll get to volunteer in the kitchens to help prepare lunch for the 10,000-plus people who come to worship here every day. You’ll have lunch here yourself, too. For more information, flick to page 36.

TOUR INFORMATION IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL DESTINATIONS

PLEASE NOTE: ■

All charges and visa requirements are subject to change. For all passport, visa and health requirements, please consult the Foreign Office Website – www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice. It is the responsibility of all passengers to ensure that prior to travel they have taken the necessary health precautions applicable to their chosen destination. Advice about destinations can change, therefore please consult with your doctor at least 2 months before your departure, as some treatments (e.g. Malaria) should begin well in advance of travel. For late bookings within 3 weeks of departure, please consult with your doctor before booking your holiday.

Minimum standard of accommodation is 3 star tourist class.

To make the most of each day, there may be a number of early starts on the tours.

Some tours cover long distances on certain days, however there will be short stops at points and the journeys are very rewarding.

Most tours are not available to children aged under 16 years old, with the exception of Costa Rica where the minimum age is 8.

Most tours include: all road transportation, applicable entrance fees, tour listed transfers and listed excursions. Please check with one of the TUI team or on our website before you book about what's included in your tour.

American Express Traveller Cheque Cards cannot be used in all longhaul destinations. Please check with your holiday advisor.

During periods of low occupancy, some facilities and amenities may be unavailable.

During quieter periods, some accommodation may hold business conferences.

During March and June, the resorts are often very busy with Spring Break students. This usually happens in the USA, Cuba and Mexico.

Tour itineraries and days of departure may be subject to change and in some circumstances it may be necessary to use alternative hotels of a similar standard in the same resort.

English-speaking guides are used on all tours, with exception of our small boat cruises where the onboard crew will be there to assist you and our self-drive tours.

Guests are advised to pack suitable attire for the tour and the season, including sturdy walking shoes and warm clothes for higher altitudes.

Most tour group sizes will be up to 35 customers, unless stipulated.

Some touring groups are shared with other multi-national travellers, however the programme will be delivered in English.

Optional excursions are available for most tours at an extra charge and are sometimes shared with other multi-national travellers not on your TUI Tour. Optional excursions can be pre-booked during your initial tour booking as well as in destination. Some tours will offer these optional excursions whilst in destination only, where indicated.

Beverages, tips and gratuities are not included.

If you're on a safari and some other specialist tours your luggage allowance could be reduced. This will be clearly stated at the time you book and will be available in your customer documents. ■

Any customers booking a tour/twin centre involving an internal flight will be required to provide their full passenger names at time of booking, as they appear on their passports.

Tours to Thailand and India will require your full passport details. You will be contacted and advised how to do this.

HURRICANES AND TROPICAL STORMS The Caribbean, USA and Mexico are occasionally affected by tropical storms and hurricanes between June - November. Such storms can blow up quickly and it is impossible to predict their path or duration more than three to four days in advance, often less. South East Asia may be affected by a monsoon season, typically between May - September. If a storm is forecast for one of our holiday destinations we monitor all activity through various websites and information received from local and international experts. We follow the advice of the FCO and work with the Federation of Tour Operators in resort to ensure that customer safety is foremost if there is hurricane activity during your holiday.

A-Z GUIDE We understand the small print is the last thing anyone wants to read. But we believe it’s really important to be clear in the information we give you. This A-Z outlines to what extent we would be liable, if at all. If any part of this guide isn’t valid or can’t be enforced, the rest will still apply. Not everything here will apply to you but a lot of it will so you’ll need to read this guide before you book. You’ll also need to read Our Agreement With You and Your Agreement With Us. Together, they explain every aspect of your holiday. If you need information in another format please contact our Customer Welfare Team on 0203 451 2585. Calls from UK landlines cost the standard rate, but calls from mobiles may be higher. Check with your network provider. Just to make things easier for you, here are some of the abbreviations we use… * extra charge 1st Ch 1st child 2nd Ch 2nd child Ad Adult AI All Inclusive BB Bed & Breakfast BL balcony or terrace FB Full Board HB Half Board LSV limited sea view PB private bath PP per person PPPN per person per night RD reduction RO room only SC self–catering SH shower SUPPS supplements SV sea view SSV side sea view. In line with EU regulations, we need to let you know who you’ll be flying with. This includes any connecting flights or transfers. These are the carriers we may use – A3 Aegean ABR ASL Ireland AEA Air Europa AMV AMC Airlines AP Albastar BA BA Cityflyer/ British Airways BE Flybe BGH Balkan Air BJ Nouvelair Tunisie D8 Norwegian EI Aer Lingus EVE Evelop FHY Freebird Airlines FPO ASL France JAF JetairFly KM Air Malta LS Jet 2 OHY Onur Air PC Pegasus QS Travel Service ST Germania TBA Carrier To Be Advised TOM TUI VOE Volotea X3 TUIFLY 7M Mistral Air We’ll let you know who the airline is when we send your tickets. If there are changes after that point, we’ll tell you before you check in or at the boarding gate. When you come across anything to do with flights in this guide, we’ll usually be talking about flights with TUI. So if you’re flying with another airline, you’ll need to check their conditions, too. From time to time, we need to change airlines or plane types but this isn’t classed as a ‘Major Change’ to your holiday.

A A La Carte The Select Your Seat benefit that comes with A La Carte holidays is only available if you’re flying with TUI and you book at least 3 days in advance. Please note, A La Carte benefits will not be available if you’re combining your stay in an A La Carte hotel with a tour, or a stay in another hotel. See Transfers for more information. Accuracy We published our latest brochures in November 2021. Our prices and information in those brochures were accurate on that date but they may have changed since then. We always check our properties regularly to make sure we’re giving you accurate information and we’ll tell you of any changes we know about when you book. If you’ve already booked, we’ll tell you about any major changes we’re aware of as soon as we can. Bear in mind public holidays and religious festivals affect whether or not facilities are available. Also, it may be the case some facilities aren’t managed directly by the hotel and they could close without notice. Adjacent Rooms These are two rooms next to each other and usually share some facilities, such as an entrance or a bathroom. They’re available at selected accommodation and for a small supplement. The facilities can vary so check the individual hotel description. When you’re booking, the room description will have ADJ next to it. Depending on where you’re staying, you may need to book two rooms to get this room type. Please ask when you book. Adult Properties These are hotels that cater really well for adults in terms of facilities and destination. They include TUI BLUE For Two, where the minimum age is 16, and our Gold and Exclusively for Adults ranges, where the minimum age is 16 or 18. You must not book children to stay at any of these hotels under any circumstances as bookings for children will not be accepted. If you see a Scene logo, it means the hotel is recommended for adults only. At least one member of your group needs to be 18 or over. Any members of your party who are under 18 will need to give us a letter of consent from their parent or legal guardian when booking. They’ll need to take this letter with them when they travel, too. For adults-only hotels in the Dominican Republic, the minimum age accepted for all travelling on the booking is 18 years. Advanced Passenger Information So that you can travel, it may be mandatory (as required by government authorities before or at the point(s) of departure and/or destination) to disclose and process your personal data for immigration, border control, security and anti-terrorism purposes, or any other purposes which they determine appropriate. Some countries will only permit travel if you provide your Advance Passenger Information or API (for example Caricom API Data and US Secure Flight Data) to the airline before your departure. Some or all of the Caricom states have entered into an agreement with the USA whereby advance passenger data, required by and provided to Caricom states for border security purposes, will be passed to the USA Department for Homeland Security for processing on behalf of those Caricom states. Please see the Caricom website for more details. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires you to provide your full name, date of birth and gender for the purpose of watch list screening. You may also provide your Redress Number (as well as a Known Traveler Number), if available. Failure to provide details may result in denial of transport or denial of authority to enter the boarding area. TSA may share information you provide with law enforcement or intelligence agencies or others under its published system of records notice. Please see the TSA website for more details. These requirements may differ depending on your destination and you are advised to check. Even if not mandatory, we may assist where appropriate. You’ll need your booking reference number, the lead passenger’s surname and your date of departure to access the site.

A-Z GUIDE

Age Ranges No under-18s can travel on their own. For our hotels, 2 to 12-year-olds are classed as children unless we say otherwise. For self-catering properties and any type of property in Florida, it’s 2 to 16 inclusive. Air-conditioning This may depend on the time of year and be subject to hotelier discretion. Also, you may have to pay for it when you get there. Airline Rules Charter airlines aren’t allowed to carry certain nationals to and from their country of origin. This is due to licensing law restrictions with overseas aviation authorities. The current licensing laws, as of 15th November 2010, do not allow TUI Group airlines to carry nationals of the following countries on their operating routes – Brazil, Kenya, and Morocco. Some other restrictions also apply… ■ Cuban nationals may travel to any international Cuban airport, except Cayo Largo and Cayo Coco, and must be travelling as part of an inclusive tour package. ■ Indian and Turkish passport holders can only travel on inclusive tour package arrangements. Please check with your embassy or consulate before you book. ■ If you’re going to Goa, Kerala and Sri Lanka, on an Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Nepalese or Bangladeshi passport you can’t fly on British charter flights. This travel restriction doesn’t apply if you have a Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Nepalese or Bangladeshi passport but your spouse has a foreign – nonIndian – passport. Airport Assistance See Special Assistance. Airport Hotels and Parking - UK The companies that provide the hotels and car parks will have their own terms of use which will also apply to you. We can get you a copy of these if you need one, just ask. If you don’t follow the instructions we give you, we may not be able to refund you any additional costs you’re charged as a result. Any parking is at your own risk, so we ask that you don’t keep any valuables in your car. You should be prepared to leave your keys with car park staff as this may be necessary. If you have a larger-than-average vehicle or a motorbike, please contact us to check that the car park can accommodate it without an additional charge. When you travel, take your booking confirmation with you as it contains instructions on what you need to do. If you have any problems on the day, please let the hotel or car park know so they can help you. If you don’t let them know, we may not be able to help you later on. If you’re parking and you arrive before the day and time shown on your confirmation, or stay later than planned, you may be charged for the extra parking at the car park’s normal price. If you leave earlier than planned, we won’t refund any of the charges you’ve paid. You can amend or cancel any time up until a minute to midnight, the day before you arrive at the airport, free of charge. So, if you fly on the 2nd, you’d need to cancel by 23:59 on the 1st. If you cancel in time, you will be refunded what you’ve paid for the hotel and parking. If you don’t cancel in time you will not be refunded any amounts paid for the hotel and parking and we will retain this as a cancellation charge. Airport Lounges You can pay for UK airport lounge access after you’ve booked, subject to availability. You can do this via a TUI Holiday Store, Manage My Booking or by logging into your Customer Account. Airport Service In most airports overseas, our Travel Experts aren’t allowed past check-in or into the arrivals hall but we will have staff waiting to greet you outside the airport. Alcohol During your flight with us, you can only drink the alcohol that our staff serve you. All Inclusive Hotels You may need to wear a wristband or carry some ID to get the benefits of your package. For a full description of what’s included, check the hotel description. Times for inclusive drinks, meals and snacks vary. Your All Inclusive package may not include bottled water, imported drinks, à la carte meals, or some speciality dishes. Some restaurants expect you to reserve a table and will be subject to availability. Not all bars and restaurants operate on an All Inclusive basis. Also, there may be cash bars once All Inclusive bars close. Bear in mind, under-18s won’t be served alcohol. You should also be aware that we, and the hotels, may confiscate wristbands and IDs from guests who abuse the All Inclusive benefits. You may be charged for motorised sports, and there are time limits or age and experience restrictions on some of these activities. You may have to pay a deposit to hire equipment. Things like classes and beauty treatments may be included in the price but there’ll be a limit on how many sessions you can take. Safety deposit boxes may not be included and you’ll need to pay for things like telephone calls and excursions. All Inclusive packages end when you check out of your room. In some cases you can pay to keep using the facilities. If there’s a delay to your flight home and you have to spend extra time in the resort, any refreshments will be in line with the airline’s instructions – not the board basis of your hotel. One last thing, you may find timings will change for things like happy hours in bars and dining times. Amenities Lots of things you come across in resort will be quite different to what you’ve come to expect at home, like roads, power and water, for instance. If there’s a prolonged drought, it might interrupt water supplies. In summer, there’s often more demand on water, which means the pressure can drop, disrupting water heaters. You may also find in some destinations you won’t be able to flush toilet paper down the toilet. Artist Impressions These, together with any computergenerated images, are there to give you an idea of how the property will look – they’re not replicas of the finished building.

B BabyClub These are available at TUI BLUE For Families, TUI BLUE Sensatori (except at TUI BLUE Sensatori Cap Cana), and selected properties with TUI Kids’ Clubs. There is always a minimum of one NNEB, CACHE or equivalent qualified staff member present. Trained staff look after under-threes for two-hour sessions throughout the day. Sessions in BabyClub are at an additional charge and can be booked in advance. Bear in mind, wherever the BabyClub, if your child’s ill, they won’t be accepted in the club. Also, you’ll need to supply your own nappies and prepared feeds. We can’t guarantee standards at BabyClubs that aren’t run by us. Baby Equipment If you’re travelling to one of our TUI BLUE For Families hotels or TUI BLUE Sensatori resorts, you can book baby equipment including cots, strollers, highchairs and sterilisers. These must be booked in the UK and prices range from £10-£25. Balconies If the description refers to a French or Juliette balcony, this means that your room will have glass doors but you won’t necessarily be able to go out onto the balcony as it’ll be shallow in depth. If you’re on the ground floor, you’ll get a terrace instead of a balcony, even if it says ‘BL’ or ‘balcony’ on your booking confirmation. Health and safety restrictions mean some hotels or apartments may not put you on a high floor if you have small children. Even if you’re on a low floor, make sure you never leave your children unattended on your balcony. Banned Airlines To improve safety, the European Commission has banned some airlines from operating in European airspace. In line with EU directive (EC) no. 2111/2005, Article 9, we need to make you aware of the list of banned airlines. To view the list of airlines that are subject to an operating ban within the European Community, visit http://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/air/safety/ air-ban/search_en Bars If a hotel has a bar, you may well hear some noise – even outside normal licensing hours. Beaches Many of the beaches in our resorts have been awarded the Foundation for Environmental Education’s Blue Flag. The programme awards beaches and marinas that meet its high standards of hygiene, cleanliness, safety and environmental management. For details, visit www.blueflag.org. When you’re on the beach, make sure you check any flag warning systems and take local conditions into account, particularly things like undercurrents and tides. You’ll also need to supervise children at all times as most beaches won’t have a lifeguard. Some beaches in Mexico and the Caribbean may experience an increased level of seaweed from time to time. This is known as sargassum, and is a natural occurrence which can change on a daily basis influenced by weather patterns and sea currents. Hotels which are affected work hard to clear the seaweed so you can continue to enjoy the beach during your holiday. The situation can change day to day due to nature, wildlife and local laws. You may find that public beaches are closed at certain times, particularly in low season. Beach closures are carried out by local authorities so are beyond our control. One more thing, you may need to pay to use some beaches, especially in Italy. TUI BLUE For Two see Adult Properties for more details. Building Work From time to time, building work is unavoidable, particularly where hotels are open all year round, and it can be noisy. If we’re aware of any work, we’ll let you know as soon as possible if we think it’ll affect your holiday. This can be difficult as we don’t control the work and we’re not always told when it’ll happen and how long it will last. But if we think it’ll have a significant effect, you’ll have the option of a refund or an alternative holiday, as outlined under ‘Major changes to your holiday’ in Our Agreement With You. Bungalows If the description of your accommodation refers to a bungalow, this means that you may be located in an accommodation block within an annexe building separate from the main building which may not necessarily be single storey or detached.

C Check-in For Your Flight We recommend you arrive at the airport at least two hours before your scheduled departure time. For flights over seven hours, it’s three hours before. Regardless of the length of your flight, you need to have completed check-in at least an hour before departure. UK airlines need to carry out enhanced security screening from certain destinations for return flights to the United Kingdom. If this applies to your flight, you’ll be told whilst you’re on holiday as it may mean that you need to check in a bit earlier. You might need to be at the boarding gate earlier, too. If we think you may be under the influence of alcohol or pose a threat to passengers or crew, you won’t be able to fly. The same applies if you smoke, use insulting or abusive words before or after you board. If that happens, we won’t be responsible for your holiday arrangements and we won’t give you a refund, pay compensation, or cover any other costs. We may even seek compensation from you for any loss caused by your behaviour. This includes having to divert the plane. It’s also a criminal offence to cause disruption on board, so you may be prosecuted. Airlines may also share details about your behaviour with other airlines, which could affect your future trips. Online Check-in You’ll be allocated your seats when you check in online. If you don’t like the seats allocated, you can pay to select your seat. Sometimes we may need to change the seat allocated to you for operational or safety reasons or for persons with reduced mobility. Boarding cards must be printed on A4 paper and be clearly legible with no rips or tears. You must drop your bags off before bag drop closes, 45 minutes before your flight time. Just so you know, if you choose not to use our online check-in service, we reserve the right to charge a fee for airport check-in. Please also see Section 14 of Our Agreement with You and Yours with Us.


A-Z GUIDE For Your Accommodation Check-in time is usually 3pm to 4pm for hotels, unless you’re on a Villa Collection holiday when it’s usually 2pm. Depending on when your flight arrives, you may miss a meal if you’ve booked All Inclusive, Half or Full Board. If your flight arrives late at night, this is classed as the first night of your holiday and your room will be ready when you arrive. If you arrive in the early hours of the morning the day after your flight departed, your room may not be available until the hotel’s normal check-in time. You’ll be able to use the hotel’s facilities while you wait. And because you’re checking in later on your first day you’ll get to keep your room on the last day of your stay. Check-out For Your Accommodation On the last day of your holiday, you’ll usually have to leave your room by mid-morning or noon. If you’re in a villa, you may need to leave earlier. You’ll be told the exact time when you get there. You may be able to keep your accommodation for longer, but there could be a charge. Depending on the time of your flight, you may miss a meal at your hotel. Also, you might not be able to use some of the facilities or take advantage of the full All Inclusive package. If your flight leaves on or after midnight, you’ll have to check out of your hotel room by midday the previous day. There’ll usually be a courtesy room or apartment available for you where you can change and leave your bags until it’s time to leave. You can pay for a late check–out room. They’re normally available until 6pm that evening, but this varies from hotel to hotel. We recommend you book in advance as the hotel will allocate them on a first–come, first-served basis. You may be able to stay in the room you’ve had during your holiday, but you may have to move to another. The rooms will only be for you and your group to use, and will have beds and a private bathroom. Late check–out only covers the use of your room. Child Prices Child prices are based on selected departures within the season dates, and will only apply to the cheapest room type that occupies children. Child prices are only available for the first and second child sharing a room with two full-fare-paying adults. Any more than two children on one booking pay the adult price, count towards room occupancy, and will pick up any applicable third or fourth adult reductions or occupancy discounts. You’ll still pay full deposits, insurance, flight, room and board supplements, and any extras for all children travelling at a child price. Children qualifying for free or reduced child prices don’t count towards group offers. Child prices only count towards room occupancy for self-catering and villa holidays. Child prices are for children between 2 and 12 inclusive. You’ll also need to pay a fee for an infant under the age of 2 on the date of return travel. Please note, infant fees vary dependent on holiday type. If any children in your group turn 13 after you’ve booked but before – or during – your holiday, they’ll need to pay the adult price, plus the amendment fee. Child Protection We believe we have an important role to play in protecting children’s rights everywhere. Our child protection policy applies both in the UK and abroad. We train our resort staff to identify situations where children may need protection and report them to the relevant organisations. We’re signed up to the Child Protection Code www.thecode.org. This independent organisation monitors and supports our child protection activities. If you suspect any child is at risk on your holiday, please tell your Travel Expert or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. For more information, visit https://www.tui.co.uk/editorial/ child-protection.html. Conditions Of Carriage When you travel by air or river, your journey may be subject to certain international conventions including, but not limited to, the Warsaw and Strasbourg Conventions, and the Montreal Convention for air. By law we need to give you these in ‘legal speak’ to avoid any misinterpretation. We can supply a full copy of these if you ask us to. Montreal Convention This is a notice required by European Community Regulation (EC) No. 889/2002. Air carrier liability for passengers and their baggage This information notice summarises the liability rules applied by Community air carriers as required by Community legislation and the Montreal Convention. Compensation In The Case Of Death Or Injury There are no financial limits to the liability for passenger injury or death. For damages up to 100,000 SDRs (approximately £96,000), the air carrier can’t contest claims for compensation. Above that amount, the air carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving that it wasn’t negligent or otherwise at fault. Advance Payments If a passenger is killed or injured, the air carrier must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16,000 SDRs (approximately £15,360). Passenger Delays In case of passenger delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for passenger delay is limited to 4,150 SDRs (approximately £3,980). Baggage Delays In case of baggage delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is limited to 1,000 SDRs (approximately £960). Destruction, Loss Or Damage To Baggage The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to 1,000 SDRs (approximately £960). In the case of checked baggage, it’s liable even if not at fault, unless the baggage was defective. In the case of unchecked baggage, the carrier is liable only if at fault.

Higher Limits For Baggage A passenger can benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration at the latest at check-in and by paying a supplementary fee. Complaints On Baggage If the baggage is damaged, delayed, lost or destroyed, the passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as soon as possible. In the case of damage to checked baggage, the passenger must write and complain within 7 days, and in the case of delay within 21 days, in both cases from the date on which the baggage was placed at the passenger’s disposal. Liability Of Contracting And Actual Carriers If the air carrier performing the flight is not the same as the contracting air carrier, the passenger has the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of an air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier. Time Limit For Action Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within 2 years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived. Basis For The Information The basis for the rules described above is the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, which is implemented in the Community by Regulation (EC) No. 2027/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No. 889/2002) and national legislation of the Member States. Cots There’s usually room for one cot in all our hotel rooms, apartments or villas, but you’ll need to check with us before you travel to make sure there will definitely be one available when you arrive. In some countries, such as Italy, you’ll need to pay a daily charge to hire a cot. If you’re staying in a villa in Florida, you’ll need to pay to hire a cot by credit card, before you travel. If you decide to bring your own travel cot, bear in mind there’s no extra luggage allowance for these and the airline will charge extra if you go over your limit.

D Data Protection All details provided by you will be held by us and used in accordance with our Privacy Notice. We will process personal data about you and members of your party so that we can manage your account or booking, provide you with our products, services and/or any other travel arrangements booked with us. By providing other people’s personal data, you must be sure that they agree to share their data with us and, where appropriate, they understand how their personal data may be used by us. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Notice available on our website or upon request in our stores. Delays Depending on airport facilities, we provide light refreshments for a delay of 2 to 4 hours, a meal – or vouchers for a meal – for 4 to 8 hours, overnight accommodation for delays of 8 to 12 hours if it’s necessary and possible. If a delay is longer than 5 hours, you can cancel your flight and we’ll refund the flight part of your holiday. We’ll only refund the whole cost of your holiday if we change or cancel your holiday. We set out exactly what this means in Our Agreement With You. Deposits As well as the deposit you pay when you book, if you’re staying in an apartment or villa, you may also be asked to pay a deposit in local currency when you arrive. If you’re on a Scene holiday, you may be asked to pay a deposit – in cash – even if you’re in a hotel. Some hotels require a credit card swipe or cash deposit when you check in. Deposits cover all, or part of, the replacement costs for things being lost, broken or damaged. It’s also to take care of any unusual cleaning charges. You’ll get it back when you leave, or with an amount deducted if necessary. The property needs to be inspected before you leave. In some cases, your deposit will be returned to you by post. Unfortunately we can’t accept responsibility for any disputes which may arise, although we’ll try to help you to resolve them. You’ll find details of the amount and type of deposit for each property on our website, or you can call us. See Low Deposit Offer for more details on the deposit you pay when you book. Disability Assistance See Special Assistance. Disney Disney are operating a Park-Pass system, meaning you must reserve the day(s) you wish to visit the Disney parks in advance of your holiday. To enter a Disney Park, both a valid Disney Ticket and a date-specific theme park reservation are now required. Guests can link their ticket reference number(s) to their My Disney Experience account and make park reservations using Disney’s Park Pass System at https://www.disneyworld.co.uk/plan/ my-disney-experience. Dress Code Men may need to wear full-length trousers, shirts with sleeves, and shoes for dinner in most hotels and apartments. See Gala Meals for more details.

E ESTA See Visas. Extra Charges The key aspects of your holiday will be included in the price when you book – see Prices for details. But it’s important to point out you may have to pay extra for some things when you get there. For example, you might want to book an excursion, use a safety deposit box or enjoy something from the minibar or room service. You may also need to pay extra for things like sports, beauty treatments and classes. If we’re aware you’ll need to pay extra for a particular activity or facility, we’ll show you by adding an asterisk after the item. See Meals and All Inclusive Hotels for more details.

Finishing Touches You’ll need to book them at least seven days before departure and pay for them in full when you settle your invoice. Flight Times Actual flight times are on your tickets. They are local times based on the 24–hour system. We can’t guarantee the flight times in our brochure, on our website or on your booking confirmation won’t change, so please always check your tickets. Flying With Children Infants less than 14 days old are not allowed to travel. Any child over 14 days and under two years old on the date of their return travel is classed as an infant. Infants must sit on an adult’s lap and wear an extension seatbelt. If your child reaches their 2nd birthday while you’re away you’ll need to allow for this when you book. All children aged two and above must have their own seats on the plane. If you’ve paid for an additional seat for your infant, you can use your own car seat as long as it has a single release harness. It needs to be facing forward on the aircraft seat, designed to be secured by lap belt alone, and must conform to EU safety standards. You’ll also need the instruction leaflet to show the cabin crew if they need it. The seat mustn’t be more than 16 inches or 40cm wide. You can’t use carrycots and deluxe child car seats, as they won’t fit. The use of car seats will be at your airline’s discretion. Airlines registered outside the UK may have their own rules. Call TUI for information on approved car seats. You’ll find the number at the end of this guide. Football Academy Our Football Academy is available at selected TUI BLUE For Families hotels, and consists of five football training sessions, at a cost of approximately £60. You’ll need to register your child, and we may need to cancel courses if there isn’t enough demand. Free Child Places These are only available for holidays departing between 1st May and 31st October in selected accommodation, and only where the child is sharing a room, apartment or villa with two full-fare-paying adults. They are available for children up to 12 years inclusive for hotels and up to 16 years inclusive for self-catering - unless we say otherwise in the property details. You’ll need to pay a deposit but we deduct this from your final balance and will refund this when you pay for your holiday in full. Our free places don’t include flexible dining, meal supplements, insurance, in-flight meals or any other extras. Plus, you need to pay the ‘Select Your Seat’ option for the child if you need this. If you change your booking, free child places on your new booking will depend on availability. If your first child goes free, your second child still pays the second child price. Not combinable with other selected discounts or special offers. See Special Offers.

G Gala Meals Many hotels and apartments host gala meals over the Christmas and New Year period. Bear in mind that men will probably have to wear a jacket, shirt, tie and full-length trousers. You’ll see if the meal’s included by checking the individual property descriptions. Gold Gold is designed with couples in mind so we don’t accept bookings for children under 16 here in the UK. There may be children’s facilities though, and we can’t guarantee a completely child-free environment. This is because hoteliers may accept bookings from other countries on rare occasions or a child may be booked as an adult. Please see Adult Properties for more details. Please bear in mind the full Gold programme won’t start until the first arrival on or after 1st May, and entertainment at the end of the season may change. Group Offers You may qualify for discounts if there are 10 or more in your party. Group discounts apply only at the time of booking. When you’re about to book, ask your Travel Expert to contact our Groups Department. Or call our Groups booking line yourself – you’ll find the number at the end of this guide. Groups of more than 20 can have a special service from a representative at the accommodation, a private get-together and greeting on the first day, and discounts on resort excursions. Of course, group discounts are subject to availability and we may withdraw them at any time. We base discounts on how many are travelling and everyone needs to travel on the same date. Their holidays must be for the same length and to the same accommodation. If it’s more convenient for them, we can sometimes make arrangements for large groups to leave from different airports. They may not be available in conjunction with any other offers. Cancellations within your group may mean a drop or a removal of your discount, and the people who cancel will need to pay our standard cancellation charges.

H Henna Tattoos Some resorts or hotels in which we operate may offer henna tattoos. We don’t recommend or endorse these services. But, if you decide to get a tattoo, please make sure that the henna being used is brown and not black. Black henna may contain chemicals that are known to cause skin irritation and burns.

In–flight Entertainment We have in–flight entertainment on all of our TUI long haul flights. For more details, contact TUI – you’ll find their details at the end of this guide. Infants See Child Prices and Cots. Insurance You’ll need to take out a suitable insurance policy for you and anyone travelling with you. This includes infants and children. We’ll tell you about our insurance policy when you book. If you choose not to take out our insurance, you’ll need to tell us who you’re insured with. We’ll need the company details and your F policy number before you travel. We can’t accept responsibility Family Rooms These are generally for two adults and two for any loss that you or anyone travelling on your booking suffers children. These are only available for selected holidays in selected if the individual isn’t adequately insured. As with all insurance accommodation, and only where the child is sharing a room, policies, terms and conditions apply, so you need to make sure apartment or villa with a minimum of two full-fare-paying adults. you’ve got the right policy for you. See Delays for more details. When hotels are fully occupied, family rooms may be limited. Bear in mind, family- and 4–bedded rooms might not be larger than standard rooms.

A-Z GUIDE If you’re travelling to the European Economic Area you’ll also need a European Health Insurance Card. You’ll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. You can apply at www.gov.uk/global-health-insurance-card. Visit www.nhs. uk/ehic for full details on what it covers. You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge. You’ll need to have both this card and adequate travel insurance. Interconnecting Rooms These are two rooms with a lockable connecting door between them. They’re available at selected accommodation for a small supplement. If you want to book, interconnecting rooms, you’ll need to book and pay for two of these rooms.

J Junior Suites When we advertise a Junior Suite, it means you’ll get a bedroom with a sitting area and a bath or shower room.

K Kids’ Clubs No matter which kids’ club you’re looking at, there are certain things to bear in mind: ■ Children who are unwell won’t be accepted ■ If your child has a disability, we will do our best to look after them but please check with us before you book that the club can accommodate your child’s particular needs ■ Sometimes, even when you have checked in advance, there may be reasons why the club can no longer accommodate your child’s particular needs. When this happens we will do our best to include them in as many activities as possible but you may need to stay with your child to provide the care and attention that they require. ■ If your child has an allergy or any other special requirements, please let us know when you sign them into the kids’ club for the first time ■ Staff aren’t authorised to administer medication or change nappies, so you’ll need to return to the club to do this if necessary ■ Staff may provide snacks and drinks during the day. ■ You must register your child for all activities, sign them in at the start of the session, and out at the end ■ You must stay within the complex while your child is in the club and also leave details of your whereabouts in case you’re needed ■ Activities may have to be cancelled, numbers limited and a rota introduced. This may be for health and safety reasons or at particularly busy times. ■ If a kids’ club is an important part of your time away, it’s worth checking club availability before you book your holiday ■ Even if you’ve booked a package holiday with us, you may still need to pay extra for some activities and sessions when you get there. If you haven’t booked a package holiday with us, you’ll also need to pay for your child to join the club itself. Hotel-run Kids’ Clubs Only clubs run by us meet our specification, which include strict staff to child ratios. Standards and facilities at hotel-run clubs vary. You should make sure you’re satisfied with the facilities and staff providing the service before enrolling your child. Unfortunately, we’re unable to take responsibility or guarantee that standards at hotel-run clubs meet UK standards. TUI Kids’ Club We split our Kids’ Clubs by age - there’s Minis for 3-6 years and Maxis for 7-12 years. The clubs have two hours of daytime activities, five days a week. For evening activities, it’s from 90 minutes to 3 hours of activities up to three times a week. Sometimes we’ll combine ages for activities, but it won’t affect our strict staff-to-child ratios. We’ll have two staff on hand at all times. In our hotels, our club activities run from 1st May to 31st October, unless the property description says otherwise. We may need to finish activities before the end of October if there isn’t enough demand. Kids’ Clubs at TUI BLUE For Families and TUI BLUE Sensatori The Kids’ Clubs at these hotels offer the same as above, but they also have Teen activities in The Hangout for 12-16 year olds.

L Late Check-out Rooms See Check Out. Lifts Some of our hotels don’t have a lift. If stairs are a problem for you, please ask us for more details before you book so we can suggest a suitable property. See Special Assistance for details. Local Laws Sometimes local laws, religious customs or events mean facilities aren’t available. For example, in all Muslim countries during the month of Ramadan, bars and restaurants – including hotel restaurants – change their opening hours. You may not be allowed to eat, drink or smoke in public areas during daylight hours either. Drinking and gambling ages vary by destination. It’s a good idea to find out more before you travel. For the most up-to-date information, we recommend you check www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice. Lost Property If you leave something behind on the plane during your flight out, you’ll need to contact the overseas airport and ask them to check their lost property. If it’s on your flight home, let us know and we’ll do our best to track down the item for you. If you leave what we class as a ‘valuable item’ at your hotel, like a camera, a laptop or a wallet, we’ll do our best to find it for you. If your item is found, you’ll need to contact the hotel to arrange for it to be returned, and there may be a charge for this. If we can’t find your item, we’ll send you a statement to support your travel insurance claim. For help with lost property, contact After Travel Customer Support – details are in the Getting In Touch section.

A-Z GUIDE

Luggage This section explains how much you can take, what you can pack, and how to keep your valuables safe. Please make sure you know your limits so your trip can get off to a smooth start. Luggage allowances vary, and could change, so please check when you book. When travelling with TUI your checked-in allowance will vary between 15kg and 23kg depending on your holiday, so make sure you check when you book. Just as a guide, if you’re going on a Premium Collection holiday - so A La Carte, Platinum, or any TUI BLUE holiday, then your allowance is set at 20kg for checked-in luggage. If you’ve booked one of our wedding packages as a couple, you’ll qualify for an extra 5kg of luggage allowance each for your wedding attire. This is in addition to the standard luggage allowance applicable to your holiday type. This extra allowance will be added to your holiday booking when you book your wedding package. One thing to bear in mind, though - if your flights change to another airline we won’t be able to offer this allowance. For some types of holiday – like Small & Friendly, Scene and Skytours – your maximum allowance is 15kg. You can buy extra checked-in luggage allowance in 5kg amounts if you need more space - you’ll need to do this at least 3 days before departure. Also, if you’re booking a tour or twin centre, remember to check your allowance. Reason being, your allowance during the tour or twin centre may be less than for your international flights. On package holiday flights with TUI, under twos get a 10kg luggage allowance - this does not apply for flight-only bookings. We won’t charge you to take your folding pushchairs, either. You can share your allowance with others on your booking, but no single bag can be more than 25kg. This is for health and safety reasons. If you have booked extra luggage allowance, you still need to make sure each bag is under 25kg, otherwise check–in staff won’t accept it. Also, we can only accept luggage if it’s packed and secured in suitcases or bags, and we believe it can stand up to reasonable handling. Otherwise, we may ask you to sign a disclaimer before we can take it. This also includes any bags we believe are already damaged. As for hand luggage, you can take one item on your flight. The maximum dimensions are 55x40x20cm. Your hand luggage allowance is 10kg - please note you can’t buy extra hand luggage allowance. You should be able to lift your hand luggage into the overhead storage compartments yourself. Other bags, such as handbags or laptop bags, must fit in your single item of hand luggage. There are restrictions on what you can carry in your hand luggage so make sure you read the information that comes with your tickets. For example, you should pack valuables in your hand luggage – never your checked–in luggage. This includes money, jewellery, computers and important documents. Your airline won’t be liable for loss or damage to valuable or fragile items packed in hold luggage, no matter how it’s caused. On Other Airlines If you’re not flying with TUI, you’ll need to find out what your allowance is for checked-in luggage and hand luggage. Some airlines do not give infants their own allowance. Excess Luggage And Sports Equipment There may be a charge for excess luggage and sports equipment. Whether or not we can carry it will depend on capacity on the day. You can arrange to take golf clubs, windsurf boards, diving equipment and other sports equipment on your flight. If you don’t book, you may still be able to check your own equipment in. But we can’t guarantee this and there’ll be a charge. Bear in mind, any problems with excess luggage charges need to be sorted out at the airport. We can’t guarantee you’ll be able to take bulky sports equipment with you on the coach to your holiday accommodation, and there may be an extra charge. Lost And Damaged Luggage Please report any lost luggage or damage to us within seven days. If not, under the terms of the Montreal Convention, we won’t be liable. See Montreal Convention for details. If your luggage is damaged on your way back to the UK, you need to complete a Property Irregularity Form (PIF) at the airport and keep a copy of it for insurance purposes. Low Deposit Offer This offer is per passenger. We can change or withdraw this offer at any time. The rest of the deposit will be due within eight weeks of you booking your holiday. If you cancel your holiday you still have to pay the full deposit. Low Season You may find that if you’re travelling outside of peak holiday periods, some facilities, both in your hotel and resort, may not be available and entertainment may be more low-key. Hoteliers may remove facilities at certain times due to low demand. These can include restaurants or bars and can be sudden, implemented by hotels on the spot without any prior notice. Low season is usually May and October for short and mid-haul destinations like Spain and North Africa. For long haul destinations such as in the Caribbean and Mexico, low season tends to impact other months including January, May, September, October and November. However, unforeseen circumstances or lower-than-expected hotel occupancies can happen at any time, so facility closures are not limited to these specific months

M Meals On Your Flight TUI includes meals on long haul flights. Please let us know when you book if you require any children’s meals. Just so you know, we don’t provide meals for under-twos so you’ll need to bring something with you. Remember to tell us if you have any special dietary requirements. We can’t guarantee we’ll be able to meet them, but we’ll do our best. For group bookings, everyone in your party will need to either book in advance or decline the meal. For all other flights, we offer a range of snacks and drinks to buy onboard. At Your Hotel Meals are usually served in the hotel’s main restaurant. The set–up here may change from buffet to waiter service, or vice versa. For à la carte restaurants you may be limited to a certain number of visits per stay and you may need to make a reservation. You may need to pay extra for these, too. Not all of the hotel’s restaurants will necessarily be open at the same time. Meals for infants are not included in the price of your holiday so you’ll need to make your own arrangements. Full Board Plus includes a Continental breakfast, lunch and dinner with drinks included during mealtimes. Full Board includes a Continental breakfast, lunch and dinner. Half Board includes a Continental breakfast and dinner – or lunch, if you wish – at some hotels. Bed & Breakfast usually means Continental breakfast. Medical Conditions On Your Flight If you have a medical condition, a serious illness, or you’ve recently had surgery or an accident, you’ll need to be cleared for travel by the airline. You may also need a ‘Fitness to Fly’ certificate from your GP. Conditions that need medical clearance include respiratory, coronary or infectious illness. You’ll need to give your request for medical clearance to the airline at least four working days before you’re due to fly. If you’re unsure what conditions require medical clearance, it’s best to contact our Customer Welfare Team before you book - their number is at the end of this guide. We recommend that you contact your doctor before you book if you’ve got any concerns about your health. The risk of deep vein thrombosis while flying is extremely low but is still a serious medical condition. DVT is when a blood clot forms, usually in the lower leg, sometimes because of sitting still for a long time. It needs treatment with blood-thinning drugs to prevent clots breaking off and travelling to the lungs. You can take precautions to reduce the risk. People most at risk include those with a history of bronchial or circulatory problems, thrombosis, those recently hospitalised, smokers, the obese, those with congestive heart failure, a malignant disease, pregnant women or women taking the contraceptive pill. To reduce the risk, exercise your legs from time to time, or walk around if possible. Elastic stockings may be helpful. Drink plenty of non-alcoholic liquids to prevent dehydration. See your doctor if you think you may be particularly prone to DVT. If you think you might need to ask for therapeutic oxygen during your flight, please contact your airline for details at least one month before your departure date. TUI does not charge for this, but you must request it in advance so we can confirm that it’ll be available for you. Contact our Customer Welfare team for more information – their number is at the end of this guide. See Special Requests for more details. At Your Destination If you have specific medical needs, think about whether the healthcare system in the destination you’re looking at is likely to be able to meet those needs, if you have any problems while you’re away. Consider things like the country’s state of development and its size. You may find it helpful to look at www.gov.uk/browse/abroad/travel-abroad. Mobility Assistance See Special Assistance. Money Exchange If you want to change money to your hotel when you get there, check the property descriptions to find out if you can do this at your hotel.

N Night Flights See Check-out. Nurseries See BabyClub.

O Official Ratings Each country has its own system for rating properties. We’ll always publish any official ratings where they’re available, usually as stars. But there are a few things we need to tell you on this front. In Italy you won’t find any official ratings for some properties, like old villas and farmhouses that have been renovated. And in Greece and Turkey you’ll also find reference to A to C instead of stars, with A being the best, based on facilities and ground space.

P Passports The name in your passport must match the name on your ticket otherwise you may not be able to travel and your insurance could be invalid. If someone in your group changes their name after you have booked, tell us and we’ll issue the ticket in the new name. If you’ve already received the ticket, return it and we’ll send one with the correct name. There may be a fee for this change. British Citizens must hold a valid 10-year passport. British passport holders travelling to any EU country require at least six months validity on their passport on the day of travel. Some countries outside of the EU require a British passport to have a certain period of validity left on it, or blank pages. Please visit gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice for advice by country. Other nationalities should check with their own governments. It is also your responsibility to check whether you need a visa to enter your destination country. British Citizens under 16 years old, including newborn babies, are required to have a child passport. The child’s passport will initially be valid for 5 years, but can be renewed for a further 5 years at the end of this period. You can visit the gov.uk/ website for further information and how to apply.


A-Z GUIDE If your passport has an Israeli stamp, you may be refused entry to some countries. For more information, visit Her Majesty’s Passport Office website at gov.uk/government/organisations/ hm-passport-office. If you don’t have a UK passport, you should always check with your own embassy, high commission or consulate before you book. Please also see Visas. Passenger Assistance See Special Assistance. Playgrounds You need to supervise your children on all play equipment. Bear in mind, we can’t guarantee standards of equipment unless it’s at one of our TUI Family Life hotels. Pool Views If you book a room with a pool view, you’ll look directly onto or have a side view of the pool. Pregnancy You can travel with us up to the 28th week. If you’re more than 28 weeks at the time of your flight home, you’ll need a medical certificate from your GP. It must state there are no complications and give the dates of your pregnancy. If you’re more than 36 weeks at the time of your flight home, they’ll refuse to take you. If you’re expecting twins or more, you must return by the 32nd week. Please check your insurance policy for any restrictions that apply. Many policies only cover up to the 28th week. Premium Collection Benefits You’ll get the advertised benefits as long as you’re flying with TUI. Premium Seating Premium seating is available to book on long haul TUI flights. If you book to fly Premium, your luggage allowance will be 25kg in the hold and 10kg as hand luggage. Lounge access and fast-track security are only available on departure from UK airports. You can access the lounge from 3 hours before and up to your original scheduled departure time. We advise you wear smart casual clothing. Fancy dress, vests, football shirts, tracksuits, baseball caps and other sports clothing are not allowed to be worn in the lounge. Shorts aren’t permitted either unless they are tailored and knee-length. Entry to lounges is subject to the individual lounge operator who may impose their own conditions and who reserves the right to refuse admission to anyone wearing clothing which their staff believe may cause offence to others. At London Gatwick, Edinburgh and Birmingham the lounge provider is the No.1 Lounge. At Manchester Terminal 2 it’s the Swissport Lounge. At Glasgow it’s the Sky Lounge. At Newcastle it’s the Aspire Lounge. At East Midlands it’s the Escape Lounge, and at Cardiff it’s the Cardiff Airport Executive Lounge. If the lounge is unavailable then alternative facilities may be offered. The location of fast-track security and airport lounges in the UK will be provided by TUI staff at the TUI bag drop. Our Select Your Seat service is included, in accordance with our Select Your Seat terms and conditions - see Select Your Seat. To get the best choice of seats, we recommend you book and select your seats as early as possible before departure. If you experience any difficulties using our online service, please contact your travel agent or, if you’ve booked your holiday online, please contact TUI on 0203 636 1790. Calls from UK landlines cost the standard rate, but calls from mobiles may be higher. Check with your network provider. Just so you know, we’ll always do our best to seat your group together but we can’t guarantee this. Prices Our brochure prices are accurate at the time of publication, but you should only use them as a guide. The prices we give are selected from a range of prices available within the high season or outside the high season. The price you pay will depend on when you’re travelling and prices may go up and down throughout the season. The brochure price is based on the standard occupancy for the room type included in the package so the price will change if the room is occupied by a different number of guests. See Occupancy Supplements/Discounts. What’s Included The basic cost of your holiday includes the following… ■ Return flight from the UK ■ Air passenger duty at the standard economy rate. ■ Departure taxes are included on holidays to Jamaica, Aruba, Puerto Vallarta, Costa Rica, Cancun and Punta Cana. ■ Transfers between the airport and your accommodation - this is usually by coach. Where we provide a taxi, the price we quote is for each person and based on 3 adults sharing a return taxi transfer. ■ Car hire on selected holidays – check when you book ■ The accommodation and meals as advertised or confirmed on your invoice ■ Luggage allowance as confirmed on your ticket ■ Aviation insurance and security charge ■ Estimated fuel costs ■ A Travel Expert at the UK airport and in resort ■ All obligatory hotel service charges and taxes payable in advance ■ VAT on all holidays to EC countries What’s Not Included The basic cost doesn’t include the following… ■ Additional flight charges, such as taxes and regional supplements ■ Additional air passenger duty – there’s a difference between standard and premium cabin charges. A higher rate is charged by the government for passengers travelling in premium cabins. ■ In-flight meals unless we say otherwise ■ Seats together on the plane unless we say otherwise ■ Fuel supplements where applicable ■ Excursions and shore excursions ■ Holiday insurance ■ Additional charges for particular room types, meals or under-occupancy in apartments. For details, ask your Travel Expert. ■ Excess luggage and the transport of any sporting equipment ■ Deposits requested on arrival by some apartment or villa owners, and by some hotels in Florida - see Deposits ■ Any local taxes, levies or similar that local authorities abroad expect you to pay yourselves

R Room Upgrades If you arrange a different room type with the hotel when you arrive, this won’t be included in your contract with us.

S Safety Overseas’ safety standards are generally lower than ours in the UK. We take reasonable care to make sure only reputable businesses provide the services that make up our holidays, and we expect them to provide those services in line with local standards. Children’s Safety For our own Kids’ Clubs, we take advice from leading UK child safety organisations and accident prevention agencies. You should always check you’re happy with hotel clubs and children’s facilities. Health And Hygiene Hygiene standards are generally lower than in the UK – particularly in developing countries. Having said that, you can help to improve hygiene levels by taking a few basic steps… ■ Wash your hands after going to the toilet ■ Shower before you get into the pool ■ Encourage children to go to the toilet before getting in the pool ■ Make sure babies and infants wear swim nappies in the pool Scuba Diving We recommend you check with your doctor before you go, and have a full medical examination in resort if you’re planning scuba training. You may need to pay extra for this. It’s also dangerous to fly within 24 hours of scuba diving. This is because pressure changes might cause ‘the bends’ or even in severe cases, paralysis. Of course, you also need to make sure you have adequate insurance cover. Sea Views If you book a room with a sea view, it may be partly blocked by trees or smaller buildings, or across a road, but you’ll still be able to see the sea. If we describe a room as a Limited Sea View, this will generally mean that your view of the sea will be to the side rather than directly in front of you. There may also be more obstructions like trees between your room and the sea than with a Sea View room. Seating If you’re flying with TUI the minimum seat pitch of our aircraft is 29 inches. The minimum seat width is 16 inches. If you think you’ll have difficulty fitting into this seat size, please call our Customer Welfare Team before booking - you can find their details at the end of this guide. You might need to pay an additional charge depending on what options are available. Seats With Extra Legroom These are available to book on selected short and mid haul flights and are suitable for adults and children. Our Select Your Seat service is included, in accordance with our Select Your Seat terms and conditions – see Select Your Seat. To get the best choice of seats, we recommend you book and select your seats as early as possible before departure. If you experience any difficulties using our online service, please contact your travel agent or, if you’ve booked your holiday online, please contact TUI on 0203 636 1790. Calls from UK landlines cost the standard rate, but calls from mobiles may be higher. Check with your network provider. We’ll always do our best to seat your group together but we can’t guarantee this. Seats With Extra Space These include seats that are close to or next to emergency exit doors, behind a bulkhead or behind a dividing wall. Seats with extra space are only available to pre-book for adults and children 12 years and over with TUI and 16 years and over on other carriers, but we may allocate these seats to families with children if the seats are not located in an emergency exit row. Emergency exit row seats are only available to passengers who are able to move quickly and operate the emergency exit without difficulty in the unlikely event of an emergency - in line with European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) regulations. So, you won’t be able to book these seats if you find it hard to move due to physical or mental disability, age, sickness or physical size. Just so you know, you also can’t sit in these seats if you are: ■ Under the age of 12, when travelling with TUI ■ Under the influence of alcohol ■ Travelling with an assistance animal ■ Require an extension seatbelt. These regulations have been put in place by the EASA and are for the safety of our passengers. The cabin crew have the final say and we kindly ask that their decisions are respected. Select Your Seat If you pay to take advantage of our Select Your Seat service, you’ll then be able to log in to your booking and choose your seats. You’ll also get access to online check-in 2 weeks prior to departure – a full 7 days before this is made available to other customers. Once you’ve checked in and confirmed your chosen seat, you won’t be able to change it. That said, in some circumstances, we may have to change your seat. This would only be for operational, safety or security reasons. In accordance with the Civil Aviation Authority’s guidelines, certain requirements must be satisfied before we can allocate seats near the exit. If we do have to change your seat, we’ll try to keep it as close to what you booked as possible. A refund will only be offered if we can’t seat you in a similar position to your original request. A similar position means the same type of seat - window, aisle etc - as your original selected seats. In such cases, we ask that you keep a copy of your confirmation documents and boarding cards.

If you choose the Select Your Seat option but then don’t go on to choose your seat numbers, we’ll still try and seat your group together. If you’re not flying with TUI, we’ll do our best to keep your party together but we can’t guarantee it. To maximise seating options for all our customers, it may not be possible to book just a middle & aisle seat. If you have a specific seating requirement due to mobility restrictions, please contact our Welfare team on 0203 4512585. Single Rooms Single rooms and rooms for sole occupancy are available in most hotels, but demand always exceeds availability. Sometimes when we refer to single rooms it may mean a room suitable for sole occupancy. Single rooms are generally smaller, may not have the best locations or the same amenities. If you’re booking a double room just for yourself, you’ll usually be asked to pay a supplement. This also applies to self–catering accommodation, where, for example, three people choose a property for four. Our prices reflect the costs of the rooms contracted to us. Smoking All our flights are non-smoking. In our hotels, there are usually designated areas. Spa Spas in our hotels aren’t included in the price of your holiday unless we say otherwise. Just so you know, in Spain and the Canary Islands, by law only over-16s can use the facilities. Special Assistance If you or anyone you’re travelling with is disabled, less mobile, visually impaired, or undergoing medical treatment, you’ll need to contact our Customer Welfare Team before you book on 0203 451 2585. Calls from UK landlines cost the standard rate, but calls from mobiles may be higher. Check with your network provider. They can tell you which holidays and flights are suitable for you and which properties have things like ramps and specially adapted rooms. Also, if you’ve got any medical or dietary needs, they will do their best to help. On Your Flight If you or a member of your party is disabled, uses a wheelchair, can’t walk more than 400 metres without help, or has difficulty climbing the aircraft stairs, EU regulations say you should notify us of your assistance needs before travel. You can do this by contacting our Customer Welfare Team. You’ll need to do this at least 48 hours before your departure. Assistance can’t be guaranteed if you don’t let us know before this time. Transfers If you aren’t able to use our coach transfers, we can arrange a taxi transfer if you tell us in advance by contacting our Customer Welfare Team. Bear in mind, there is a charge for this. See Medical Conditions and Wheelchairs. Special Offers Our offers are only available on the holidays and dates we advertise, are per booking, and subject to availability. Special Requests We’ll always do our best to help however we can, but we can’t guarantee we’ll be able to meet your needs every time. These special requests aren’t covered by Our Agreement With You so from a legal point of view, they’re not part of your holiday contract. Supplements On Your Flight Depending on the airport you choose to fly from, on certain days or at certain times, you may have to pay a ‘flight supplement’. Flight supplements may go up or down throughout the season. Some holidays are only available on flights with extra charges, either because the accommodation is available only on certain days of flying, or because onward travel arrangements are only available at certain times. Occupancy Supplements/Discounts Depending on the number of people sharing a room, you may have to pay an ‘occupancy supplement’ for under-occupancy or single occupancy, or there may be a discount if more people share a room. Occupancy supplements/discounts may go up or down throughout the season. Room Supplements Depending on the type of room you choose to stay in, you may have to pay a ‘room supplement’. Room supplements may go up or down throughout the season. All rooms are subject to availability and any applicable occupancy and age restrictions. Sustainability We’re part of Sustainable Aviation, a UK initiative bringing together airlines, airport operators, aircraft and engine manufacturers and air traffic management providers, which seeks to minimise the impact of flying on the environment and society. Visit www.sustainableaviation.co.uk. Swimming Pools It’s unlikely your pool will have a lifeguard. An adult must always accompany children in the pool. This includes children’s pools and surrounding areas. Pools may be closed in early or late season, so April, early May and October, or in particularly bad weather. Also, pools won’t be heated unless we say otherwise in the property description. If your pool has a waterslide, there may be height or age restrictions.

T Taxes You may need to pay a tourist tax either at the airport or at your hotel. Taxes change regularly so check before you go. See Prices for more details. Tour Operator Ratings We rate our holidays on our annual reviews and also the feedback we get from our end-of-holiday Customer Satisfaction Questionnaires. We rate hotels and apartments from ‘2’ for no–frills, good value accommodation, to ‘5’ for more comfort and a wider range of facilities. There may be some differences between accommodation that shares the same rating. That’s where our ‘plus’ rating comes in. Tours Most of our tours have age restrictions, so check before you book. Towels You’ll see from the individual property descriptions whether or not there’s a pool towel service. You may find you’ll need to pay a small charge.

A-Z GUIDE

A-Z GUIDE / OUR AGREEMENT Transfers The transfer times we give you are a rough guide. They don’t allow for delays to incoming flights or local traffic conditions. In terms of the type of transfer you’ll get, it depends on the holiday you’ve booked. Just so you know, if your holiday includes a coach transfer, we may occasionally need to change this to a minibus or taxi. Where coach access is limited, we may need to transport your luggage separately to and from your accommodation. If this is the case, it may also be necessary for your luggage to be collected earlier than your return transfer time to ensure it arrives at the airport in time for you to collect it before checking in. If you’re on a TUI BLUE Sensatori holiday, the coach will drop you off first or second wherever possible. The majority of Florida packages will include a coach transfer, but please note that priority drop-off isn’t guaranteed. If you’ve booked an A La Carte holiday, you get a private taxi transfer included for most destinations - see A La Carte for important information. Occasionally we may have to provide alternative transport, and in some cases you may have to share your taxi with other A La Carte guests. If you’re not on an A La Carte holiday, you’ve still got the option of booking a private transfer, which will either be by minibus or taxi. In some destinations we feel that it’s more suitable to book private transfers. Our prices are competitive against similar transfer services. Taxis take a maximum of three adults. Prices shown are per person, per return trip, based on three adults sharing. Luggage space may be limited and baby seats aren’t provided. Transfers to theme parks in Florida are organised by the hotel so you may need to book when you get there. They’re likely to be on a first-come first-served basis, and timings may change. Twin Rooms Some twin rooms can take a 3rd or 4th bed but they’re usually camp or folding beds. Rooms that take extra beds or a cot aren’t necessarily bigger than standard rooms so space may be limited.

W

Weather There are sometimes tropical storms and hurricanes in Florida, the Caribbean and Mexico between June and November. It’s impossible to predict their path or how long they will last more than three of four days in advance, and often it’s much less. South-east Asia may be affected by its monsoon season, typically May to September. If a storm is forecast for one of our destinations, your safety is always our first priority. If there are hurricanes during your holiday we follow the advice of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and work with the Federation of Tour Operators. If you’re on a Lapland holiday, some activities may not run because of current or forecast weather conditions, particularly if they affect the state of the snow. In the unlikely event this happens, we’ll do our best to adapt the activity programme or offer suitable alternatives, but this won’t be considered a Major Change to your holiday. Please see the Our Agreement With You pages. Please also bear in mind that some hotel facilities - like outdoor bars and some sports - may not be available in adverse weather. Where we display weather information, this is supplied by the Met Office, © Crown copyright, the Met Office. Weddings And Renewals Of Vows Please contact us for more details – the number you need is in the Getting In Touch section at the end of this guide. Also, see the Weddings brochure. Wheelchairs On Your Flight When you fly with TUI, we’ll take your wheelchair and one other mobility item in addition to your normal luggage allowance. However, you’ll need to let us know at least 48 hours before you travel. We recommend your wheelchair and other mobility aids are fully insured. If you’ve got an electric wheelchair, you’ll need to let our Customer Welfare Team know so that the necessary V arrangements can be made. Please let us know the wheelchair’s Vaccinations Speak to your doctor at least two months before make and model when you call. There’s a limit on how many you’re due to go away. Some treatments, for malaria for example, electric mobility aids we can take on each flight. If you don’t let us should begin well before you go. If you’re booking within three know before you book and we can’t carry your wheelchair, you weeks of your departure, speak to your doctor before you book. might need to pay an extra charge to change your booking. There’s more information available in the Department of Health’s You can bring a battery-powered wheelchair if it meets the free leaflet – Health Advice for Travellers. Call 0800 555 777 for a conditions given in the ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe copy. Transport of Dangerous Goods, plus any other related CAA rules. Visas The best place for up–to–date information on visa and Visit www.caa.co.uk for more information.

For example, if a young person is whether there’s space onboard. travelling without both parents, there may be extra costs and Electric wheelchairs need to be loaded in an upright position for they may need extra legal documents such as an affidavit, from a the flight.

Electrical circuits country you’re travelling to before you book. must be isolated to prevent the device being operated accidentally. If the wheelchair can’t be loaded in an upright position, the battery terminals need to be protected against short-circuiting, and the battery removed and stored in strong packaging. Lithium batteries that are designed to be removed must travel in the cabin.

You need to bring the operating instructions for your mobility aid with you. If you don’t have these details, see https://www.bhta. com/air-transport-advice where your make and model should be shown. If not, you’ll need to contact the manufacturer, or shop where it was purchased or hired. If you want to check whether your wheelchair will fit onboard our aircraft, please contact our Customer Welfare Team – the number can be found at the end of this guide. If you’re flying with another airline, you’ll need to contact them directly to see if your wheelchair will fit onboard. Our Customer Welfare Team can help you with this. On Resort Transfers If you’re taking an electric wheelchair or scooter, you’ll need to book a taxi transfer to your hotel. You can’t take them on the coach. There’s an extra charge for this. Wi-Fi Bandwidths may vary. Some hotels may offer an upgrade to a higher bandwidth which you may need to pay for. The upgraded service may also cover a different location to the free Wi-Fi zones. Some hotels may have a data cap on usage, or the free Wi-Fi may be restricted to a daily time limit per device or room. Once this usage or time limit is reached, there may be a charge to continue using the service. Factors that may reduce signal strength include high usage - particularly if lots of devices are using Wi-Fi at the same time, obstructions like thick walls and electronic machinery and adverse weather conditions. The device used to connect to the Wi-Fi - e.g. mobile phone, tablet or laptop - may result in a differing quality of service received. Wi-Fi zones may not be in the same location at every hotel. If your device isn’t connected to Wi-Fi, remember to turn off data roaming to avoid possible data charges. Due to factors outside of our control we can’t guarantee the availability, performance or security of the Wi-Fi provided.

Y Your Opinion We ask customers travelling with us to fill in a Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire online when they get home, and to rate various aspects of their holiday experience. All the questionnaires are analysed by an independent market research company. Then, we publish the results, where they are available. The scores you see are results for 2019 due to limited operation during 2020/21. They are shown as the percentage of guests who rated their holiday overall – so accommodation, location and meals – as good or excellent. If a property has recently moved across to TUI from our sister company, First Choice, we’ll publish the last season’s scores from First Choice so you can still see how the property’s been rated by our customers and vice versa. Some properties don’t have a score for a number of reasons – it may be new for that season, we may have received less than 20 responses, or the hotel has changed – perhaps been refurbished, is under new management, or now caters for a different type of customer. Or perhaps the full season scores weren’t available when we went to print. As for our Premium Collection hotels, they have to achieve a score of at least 90%. If the accommodation is new, we’ll make the judgment on whether it’s suitable for this range.

OUR AGREEMENT WITH YOU, AND YOURS WITH US We are TUI UK Limited, Company Number 02830117, our Registered Office is Wigmore House, Luton, LU2 9TN and Our Agreement sets out what we can expect from each other when you buy a holiday from us.

Booking Your Holiday When you book your holiday you are accepting Our Agreement on behalf of everyone travelling with you. We will only deal with you, the lead name, and you must be an adult when you book. Anyone aged under 18 on your holiday must be accompanied by an adult. When we say “you” and “your” we mean you, as the lead name, or you and everyone travelling, depending on the context. Our Agreement, includes our A-Z Guide, the conditions of carriage of the airline or cruise operator and the provisions of international conventions (including the Warsaw, Montreal, Strasbourg and Athens conventions) that apply to travel by air, land, sea or river. Please ask for a copy of any conditions applicable. Our Agreement along with the relevant details in the booking confirmation is the entire agreement between us for your holiday. Our Agreement is made under the laws of England and Wales. You submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. You can choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland but only if you live there.

Providing Information You must ensure all information you give is correct. We’ll use the personal data you give us in line with our Privacy Notice. You must pass on any information we give you to everyone travelling. You must comply with all passport, visa and other immigration requirements. Your passport and travel documents must be in good condition – you may be refused travel if they are damaged. If you are not self-reliant or have reduced mobility (like finding it hard to walk 500 metres) you must tell us before you book and if this changes tell us at least 48 hours before your holiday.

A-Z GUIDE/OUR AGREEMENT

The Price You Pay When you book your holiday, you must pay a deposit unless this is within 12 weeks of your holiday when you must pay in full. We’ll tell you the price of your holiday and the deposit before you book. At least 12 weeks before you go you must pay the full balance. If you don’t, we can cancel your holiday and charge you a termination fee. When you book your holiday, we’ll send your booking confirmation within 14 days. Mistakes can happen, so if any price on your booking confirmation, our website or our booking systems is obviously wrong, a booking made based on that price won’t be valid, we can cancel it and refund you unless you want to pay the correct price. If your holiday price changes because of movement in the relevant exchange rates, taxes or fees charged by someone else including tourist or landing taxes, port or airport fees or the cost of transport fuel or other power sources we can charge you that increase or refund to you a decrease (less our administrative expenses) providing it doesn’t happen within 20 days before the start of your holiday. If we need to do this, we’ll forward an amended invoice to you showing the changes made along with a detailed explanation. We’ll absorb any increase of 2% or less of your holiday price, so we won’t pass on any increase below that level, similarly we won’t refund a cost decrease of less than 2% of your holiday price. If the increase is more than 8% of the holiday price, you may cancel your holiday within 14 days of us telling you about the increase and we’ll refund your holiday price except any amendment charges; and the increase will be considered a major change, see below.

COVID-19 Selected holidays are covered by our COVID Cover policy. For more information, please visit www.tui.co.uk/destinations/info/ covid-cover-terms-and-conditions

Before Your Holiday If You Change Your Holiday Sometimes you can make changes to your holiday. The table below shows the amendment fee that we charge. Where we treat your change as a cancellation, you will pay a termination fee instead of an amendment fee. If the new holiday is more expensive you will need to pay the fee and the difference in price. Airlines or other transport providers can charge a fee for a change and sometimes treat a change as a cancellation. Fees can be up to 100% of the price for that part of your holiday. You must pay those fees as well as the amendment fee shown below. When making changes, the price of your new travel arrangements will be based on the price that applies on the day you make the change. Please note there won’t be any reduction in the price you pay, even if your new travel arrangements are cheaper than your original booking. If your change means fewer adults travel, and your holiday price is based upon the number of adults, we’ll recalculate the total price and the price per person may go up. This extra price isn’t a termination fee. You will also need to pay the appropriate proportion of the termination fee for the adult who has cancelled. See “If you Cancel Your Holiday”. Some elements of your holiday, such as excursions, transfers, children’s activities, flight or accommodation options, room/board upgrades, late check-out rooms theme park tickets and airport parking, may be non-refundable. You may transfer your holiday to someone else if you give us at least 7 days’ notice in writing or by email and the new lead name accepts the transfer and the terms of Our Agreement – insurance can’t be transferred. You will be responsible, together with the new lead name, for our amendment fees and any costs as a result of the change. Please note, due to COVID-19 there may be exceptions to the amendment fees, where selected bookings can be amended fee-free. This varies by booking and travel dates.

On Your Holiday

If Things Go Wrong on Your Holiday

If We Cancel Your Holiday If we cancel your holiday, except where it’s because you haven’t paid or you have been disruptive, you can have a refund or accept a replacement holiday from us of a similar standard and price if we can offer you one. We’ll also pay the compensation shown below (unless we have cancelled because of one of the reasons listed in ‘Events Beyond Our Control’ or where you haven’t paid) and we’ll refund the difference if the replacement holiday is of a lower price.

If We Change Your Holiday We aim to give you what we promise but, as we plan our holidays a long time in advance, sometimes things can change. We can make a change at any time but will let you know before your holiday if there’s time. Flight times given are for guidance only – your actual times will be shown on your e-ticket. Check that carefully when you receive it. Aircraft type can change and some facilities such as entertainment or advertised seat pitch may not be available. If we can’t provide a seat option, we’ll refund the price you paid for that option. Occasionally, we may have to make a major change to your holiday such as a change of destination, a change of accommodation to a lower category, a change in flight time by more than 12 hours or a change of UK departure airport. A change in flight time that we need to make within 24 hours before you are due to fly is not a major change unless the time changes by more than 24 hours. If we tell you about a major change after you book your holiday, you can accept the new arrangements offered by us; or accept a replacement holiday from us of the same or similar standard and price at the date of the change, if we are able to offer you one; or cancel your holiday with us and receive a full refund. If we make a major change we’ll pay the compensation shown below, unless the change is because of an event beyond our control, and we’ll always refund the difference in price if the replacement holiday is a lower price at the date of the change. Any compensation payable is based upon how many days before your holiday departure we tell you about a major change. We’ll pay 50% of the compensation for each person who paid a child price. No compensation will be paid for free child places.

Compensation How long before your holiday we tell you about a major change More than 84 days 83-29 days 28-15 days 14-8 days 7-0 days

Compensation per person 0 £25 £35 £50 £100

You benefit from the rights applying to packages under The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018. We are responsible for all the travel services included in your holiday. If any of them isn’t provided as we agreed, we’ll pay you compensation, if appropriate, unless it’s due to an event beyond our control (see ‘Events Beyond Our Control’), is your fault or is caused by a third-party. If you are in difficulty on your holiday we’ll help by providing information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance. We’ll help you make phone calls, send emails or make alternative travel arrangements. You must pay any costs we incur if the difficulty is your fault.

If You Have A Complaint It is very rare for things to go wrong. If they do, you must tell the supplier in question (e.g. the hotel) and our representative straight away so they can solve the issue. If our representative isn’t available, you should contact our TUI Guest Experience Centre which is open 24/7. If you’re still not satisfied, contact After-Travel Customer Support within 28 days of coming home so we can investigate properly. Contact details are in the A-Z Guide. We usually solve any issues but you can use ABTA’s scheme for resolving disputes at www.abta.com.

Personal Injury Your holiday is made up from services provided by suppliers who follow local standards. Overseas safety standards are generally lower than in the UK. If anyone travelling suffers injury, illness or death because of the services provided as part of your holiday, you must tell us and the supplier involved about it and complete a report at the time. After your holiday you can contact After-Travel Customer Support. It must be no more than 3 months after you come home so we can investigate properly. Contact details are in the A-Z Guide.

Protecting Your Money We provide security for the money you pay for your holiday and to bring you home in the event we become insolvent. When you buy a holiday from us that includes a flight, we do this by way of an ATOL (number 2524) managed by the Civil Aviation Authority, Gatwick Airport South, RH6 0YR. We also place a bond held by ABTA (V5126), 30 Park Street, London, SE1 9EQ, for holidays that do not include flights. We’ve tried to write Our Agreement clearly. Unfortunately, the ATOL rules make us to include the next three paragraphs exactly as they’re written.
