2. YOUR HOLIDAY BOOKING
A booking will exist as soon as we issue our confirmation invoice. This booking is made on the terms of these booking conditions. When you make a booking, you guarantee that you have the authority to accept & do accept on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions.
3. PAYING FOR YOUR HOLIDAY
Any prices shown in our brochure are for guidance only. We adopt a completely fluid method of pricing our holidays (i.e our prices may change second by second to reflect ever changing airfares, hotel rates etc.). Additionally, Special Offers are subject to availability and applicable dates, and are subject to change. You will be advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish to book before your contract is confirmed. When you make a booking, you must pay a non-refundable deposit of £100 per person plus an agreed amount for flight seats purchased at time of booking. An additional non-refundable deposit will be required for a Wedding or Cruise & it may differ for a group booking. The balance of the price of your travel arrangements must be paid at least 10 weeks before your departure date. If you are booking late i.e. within 10 weeks of departure, full payment will be required. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time we shall retain your deposit.
4. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY
You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time. Written notification from the person who made the booking or your travel agent must be received at our offices. Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay cancellation charges as follows: Period before departure in which you notify us:
Cancellation
Charge:
More than 70 days 70-57 days 56-29 days 28-15 days 14-8 days 7 days or less
Deposit only 30% of holiday cost or deposit if greater 50% of holiday cost or deposit if greater 70% of holiday cost or deposit if greater 90% of holiday cost or deposit if greater 100% of holiday cost
The above charges may differ for group bookings as well as special promotional offers & you will be advised at time of booking. Note: If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges via your travel insurance company. You can cancel your booking without paying cancellation charges if the performance of your package, or the carriage of passengers to your destination, is significantly affected by unavoidable & extraordinary circumstances. In such circumstances, we will arrange for your booking to be terminated & for you to receive a full refund. We will observe advice provided by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
5. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING
If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example your chosen departure date or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the person who made the booking or your travel agent. You will be asked to pay an administration charge of £25 per person, & any further cost we incur in making this alteration. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made & you should contact us as soon as possible. Note: Certain travel arrangements may not be changeable after a reservation has been made & any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements. Furthermore If your booking changes because someone in your party cancels, this may increase the overall cost of the holiday as it may be necessary to levy under- occupancy or single room supplements. You can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this booking, by giving us notice in writing as soon as possible & no later than 7 days before departure. Both you & the new traveller are responsible for paying all costs we incur in making the transfer.

However, there will be no change within 20 days of your departure. We will absorb, & you will not be charged for, any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums & any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over & above that plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agent’s commission. If this results in an increase equivalent to more than 8% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling & receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges.

Please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency & some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual & other protection in place. In the unlikely event of a genuine costing error caused by either our reservations team or in house booking system, or appearing on your confirmation invoice, we reserve the right to amend accordingly. Similarly, we undertake to refund any overcharge caused by such an error. (2) - Changes other than the price It is a term of your booking that we are able to make changes to any aspect of your booking.
