Booking conditions
The following booking conditions together with the General Information contained on our website or in our brochures
form the basis of your contract with EFR Travel Limited t/as Luxury Worldwide Collection. Please read them carefully
as they set out our respective rights and obligations.
These booking conditions only apply to holiday arrangements which you book with us in the UK and which we agree
to make, provide or perform (as applicable) as part of our contract with you. All references in these booking conditions
to “holiday”, “booking”, “contract”, “package”, “tour” or “arrangements” mean such holiday arrangements.
In these booking conditions, “you” and “your” means all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is
added or substituted at a later date) or any of them, as applicable. “We” and “us” means EFR Travel Limited. References
to “departure” or “departure date” means the start date of the arrangements booked with us.These booking conditions
do not apply to any arrangements which we book for you as your travel agent.
1. MAKING YOUR BOOKING
To confirm a booking, the fist named person on the booking (“party leader”) must provide us with the details requested
and the payment referred to in clause 2. You may be asked to complete our booking form. The party leader must be
authorised to make the booking on the basis of these booking conditions by all persons named on the booking and
their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By asking us to make the
booking, the party leader confirms that he/she is so authorised and that you accept these booking conditions. The party
leader is responsible for making all payments due to us. The party leader must be at least 18 when the booking is made.
The completed signed booking form must then be sent to us together with the payments referred to in clause 2 below.
Once we have received all appropriate payments, we will, subject to availability, confirm your holiday by issuing a
confirmation invoice. This invoice will be sent to the party leader. Please check this invoice carefully as soon as you
receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation or any other
document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later.
Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges (less any applicable
excess) under the terms of your insurance policy. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned.
Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price, any
discounts or other concessions agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you
accordingly.
If any member of your party is prevented from travelling, that person may transfer their place to someone else
(introduced by you) providing we are notified not less than two weeks before departure. Where a transfer to a person
of your choice can be made, all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers
as a result together with an amendment fee of £100 must be paid before the transfer can be effected For flight inclusive
bookings, you must pay the charges levied by the airline concerned. As most airlines do not permit name changes
after tickets have been issued for any reason, these charges are likely to be the full cost of the flight.
7. INSURANCE
We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential and it is a condition of your contract with us that you have
travel insurance in place to cover as a minimum, the cost of cancellation, the cost of assistance including your
repatriation in the event of accident or illness. Please ensure you purchase a policy which is suitable for your particular
needs as soon as possible and ideally at the time of booking so that you have protection in the event that you need
to cancel for a reason which is covered by the policy.
Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on holiday. We reserve the right to request a copy of
your policy, but we do not check policies for suitability. You agree to indemnify us against any losses we incur as a
result of your failure to take out adequate travel insurance.
8. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY US
Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors in website and other details both before and after
bookings have been confirmed and cancel confirmed bookings
Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so. However, we
promise we will only cancel your confirmed booking 8 weeks or less before departure where you have failed to comply
with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time) or where we are
forced to do so as a result of “force majeure” as defined in clause 9 below. We will not cancel after this date for any other
reason.
2. PAYMENT
In order to confirm your chosen holiday, the applicable deposit per person (or full payment if booking within ten
weeks of departure) must be paid at the time of booking.
Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to make a “significant change”. A significant change is a change made
before departure which, taking account of the information you give us at the time of booking and which we can
reasonably be expected to know as a tour operator, we can reasonably expect to have a major affect on your holiday.
Significant changes are likely to include the following changes when made before departure; a change of
accommodation to that of a lower official classification or standard for the whole or a major part of the time you are
away, a change of accommodation area for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of outward
departure time or overall length of time you are away of twelve or more hours, a change of UK departure point to one
which is more inconvenient for you and, in the case of tours, a significant change of itinerary missing out one or more
major destination substantially or altogether.
Please also see clause 7 on the subject of insurance. The balance of the holiday cost must be received by us not less
than 10 weeks prior to departure. This date will be shown on the confirmation invoice. Reminders are not sent
If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before
departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options:-
.If we do not receive all payments due in full and on time, we are entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your
booking. In this case, we will be entitled to keep all deposits paid or due at that date. If we do not cancel straight away
because you have promised to make payment, you must pay the cancellation charges shown in clause 6 depending
on the date we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled.
(a) (for significant changes) accepting the changed arrangements; or
We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy in any document within 14 days of our
sending it out (5 days for tickets). We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified to us outside these time limits but you
must meet any costs involved in doing so. The only exception to this requirement to meet costs is where the mistake in
question was made by us and there is good reason why you did not tell us about it within these time limits.
Money accepted by our agents will be held by that agent on behalf and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel
Trust at all times, but subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to the ATOL holder for so long as we do not fail. In the
unlikely event that we fail, any money held at that time by our agents, or subsequently accepted from you by our
agent, is and continues to be held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust
without any obligation to pay that money to us.
3. YOUR CONTRACT
A binding contract between us comes into existence when we despatch our confirmation invoice to the party leader.
We both agree that English Law (and no other) will apply to your contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter
of any description which arises between us (except as set out below). We both also agree that any dispute, claim
or other matter of any description (and whether or not involving any personal injury) which arises between us must
be dealt with under the ABTA Arbitration Scheme (if the Scheme is available for the claim in question - see clause 13
) or by the Courts of England and Wales only unless, in the case of Court proceedings, you live in Scotland or
Northern Ireland. In this case, proceedings must either be brought in the Courts of your home country or those of
England and Wales. If proceedings are brought in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may choose to have your contract
and any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us governed by the law
of Scotland/Northern Ireland as applicable (but if you do not so choose, English law will apply).
Changes to these Booking Conditions or our General Information will only be valid if agreed in writing by us.
4. THE COST OF YOUR HOLIDAY
We reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your holiday is
confirmed.We will advise you of any error of which we are aware and of the then applicable price at the time of booking.
Please note, changes and errors occasionally occur. You must check the price of your chosen holiday at the time of booking.
Once the price of your chosen holiday has been confirmed at the time of booking, then subject to the correction of
errors, we will only increase or decrease the price in the following circumstances. Price increases or decreases after
booking will be passed on by way of a surcharge or refund. A surcharge or refund (as applicable) will be
payable, subject to the conditions set out in this clause, in the event of any change in our transportation costs or in
dues, taxes or fees payable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports or airports
or in the exchange rates which have been used to calculate the cost of your holiday.
Even in the above cases, only if the amount of any increase in our costs exceeds 2% of the total cost of your holiday
(excluding any amendment charges) will we levy a surcharge. If any surcharge is greater than 10% of the cost of your
holiday (excluding any amendment charges), you will be entitled to cancel your booking and receive a full refund of all
monies you have paid to us (except for any amendment charges) or alternatively purchase another holiday from us as
referred to in clause 8.You have 14 days from the issue date printed on the surcharge invoice to tell us if you want to
choose option (b) or (c) as set out in clause 8 below. If you do not tell us that you wish to choose either of these options
within this period of time, we are entitled to assume that you do not wish to do so and will pay the surcharge. Any
surcharge must be paid with the balance of the cost of the holiday or within 14 days of the issue date printed on the
surcharge invoice, whichever is the later.A refund will only be payable if the decrease in our costs exceeds 2% of the total
cost of your holiday as set out above. Where a refund is due, we will pay you the full amount of the decrease in our costs.
However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes
have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.We promise not to levy a
surcharge within 30 days of departure. No refund will be payable if any decrease in our costs occurs during this period
either.
5. CHANGES BY YOU
Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed holiday, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible.
Whilst we will endeavour to assist, we cannot guarantee we will be able to meet any such requests. Where we can, an
amendment fee of £100 per person/per booking (as applicable) per amendment will be payable together with
any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers.
6. CANCELLATION BY YOU
Should you or any member of your party need to cancel your chosen holiday once it has been confirmed,the party
leader must immediately advise us in writing. Your notice of cancellation will only be effective when it is received in
writing by us at our offices. As we incur costs from the time we confirm your booking, the following cancellation
charges will be payable. Where the cancellation charge is shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis of the
total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling excluding any amendment charges. Insurance premiums and
amendment charges are not refundable in the event of the person(s) to whom they apply cancelling.

(b) purchasing an alternative holiday from us, of a similar standard to that originally booked if available. We will offer
you at least one alternative holiday of equivalent or higher standard for which you will not be asked to pay any more
than the price of the original holiday. If this holiday is in fact cheaper than the original one, we will refund the price
difference.If you do not wish to accept the holiday we specifically offer you, you may choose any of our other then
available holidays.
You must pay the applicable price of any such holiday. This will mean your paying more if it is more expensive or
receiving a refund if it is cheaper; or
(c) cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full and quick refund of all monies you
have paid to us.
Please note, the above options are not available where any change made is a minor one.
If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will as a minimum where compensation is appropriate pay you
the compensation payments set out in the table below depending on the circumstances and when the significant
change or cancellation is notified to you subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable and no
liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted where we are forced to make a change or
cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we
could not have avoided even with all due care. No compensation will be payable and the above options will not be
available if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling
us to cancel (such as paying on time) or if the change made is a minor one. A minor change is any change which,
taking account of the information you have given us at the time of booking or which we can reasonably be expected
to know as a tour operator, we could not reasonably expect to have a significant effect on your confirmed holiday.

Very rarely, we may be forced by “force majeure” (see clause 9) to change or terminate your holiday after departure
but before the scheduled end of your time away. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation does occur, we regret
we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our suppliers), pay you any compensation
or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.
9. FORCE MAJEURE
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any
compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations under our contract with you is
prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss (as more fully described in clause 10(2) below) as
a result of “force majeure”. In these booking conditions, “force majeure” means any event which we or the supplier of
the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include, whether actual
or threatened, war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse
weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.
10. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU
(1) We accept responsibility for ensuring that your travel arrangements, which you book with us, are supplied as described
by us. If, after departure, any part of your holiday arrangements are not provided as promised, due to the fault of our
employees, agents or suppliers, we will pay you appropriate compensation, if this has affected the enjoyment of your
travel arrangements. However, our liability in all cases shall be limited to a maximum of twice the value of the element
not supplied. The level of such compensation will take into account all relevant factors including the invoice price of the
tour, any steps it was reasonable for the client to take to minimise the inconvenience/damage suffered and the extent
to which the deficiency or improper performance can have affected the client’s enjoyment of the package.
Please note that we will not be liable for any injury, illness, or death or consequent losses suffered by you or any member
of your party, unless you are able to prove that such injury or illness was caused by lack of reasonable care and skill on
the part of ourselves or the relevant suppliers in the performance of our agreed obligations. It is a condition of the
payment of compensation that you notify us of any complaint or claim strictly in accordance with our complaints
procedure and, further, assign to us any rights that you may have against any third party in connection with your claim.
You must co-operate with us and our insurers in this regard. We will not be responsible where you do not enjoy the
holiday or suffer any other problems because of a reason which you did not make us aware of when the holiday was
booked.
(2) We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (including loss of possessions or enjoyment), damage,
expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following:
-- the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or
- the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday and which were
unforeseeable or unavoidable or
- ‘force majeure’ as defined in clause 9 above
(3) Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for
example, any additional services or facilities which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you where the
services or facilities are not advertised on our website as being included within the price paid for your holiday and we
have not agreed to arrange them for you and any excursion, activities or other services you purchase whilst on holiday
(see clause 11). In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, or elsewhere, we only promise to use
reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater or different liability to you.
(4) The promises we make to you about the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract and the laws and regulations of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred - will be used as the basis for
deciding whether the services in question had been properly provided. If the particular services which gave rise to
the claim or complaint complied with the local laws and regulations applicable to those services at the time, the
services will be treated as having been properly provided.
This will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and regulations of the UK which would have
applied had those services been provided in the UK. The exception to this is where the claim or complaint concerns
the absence of a safety feature which might lead a reasonable holiday maker to refuse to take the holiday in question.
(5) Where we are found liable for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions (including money),
the maximum amount we will have to pay you is £250 per person affected unless a lower limitation applies to your
claim under this clause or clause 10(6) below. For all other claims which do not involve death or personal injury, if we
are found liable to you on any basis the maximum amount we will have to pay you is twice the price (excluding
insurance premiums and amendment charges) paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total unless a lower
limitation applies to your claim under clause 10(6) below. This maximum amount will only be payable where
everything has gone .wrong and you have not received any benefit at all from your holiday
(6) Where any claim or part of a claim (including those involving death or personal injury) concerns or arises in connection
with any travel arrangements (including the process of getting on and/or off the transport concerned) provided by any
air, sea, rail or road carrier to which any international convention or EU regulation applies, the maximum amount
of compensation we will have to pay you will be limited. The most we will have to pay you for that claim or that part of
a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier concerned would have to pay under the
international convention or regulation which applies to the travel arrangements in question (for example, the Warsaw
Convention as amended and the Montreal Convention for international travel by air and/or for airlines with an operating
licence granted by an EU country, the EU Regulation on Air Carrier Liability for national and international travel by air,
the Athens Convention for international travel by sea). Please note: Where a carrier would not be obliged to make any
payment to you under the applicable international convention or regulation in respect of a claim or part of a claim, we
similarly are not obliged to make a payment to you for that claim or part of the claim. When making any payment, we
are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the carrier for the complaint
or claim in question. Copies of the applicable international conventions and regulations are available from us on request.
(7) Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sum(s) of any description (1)
which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could
not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you or (2) which did not result from
any breach of contract or other fault by ourselves or our employees or, where we are responsible for them, our
suppliers. Additionally we cannot accept liability for any business losses including self employed loss of earnings.
11. EXCURSIONS, ACTIVITIES AND GENERAL AREA INFORMATION
We may provide you with information (before departure and/or when you are on holiday) about activities, excursions
and other services which are available in the area you are visiting. We have no involvement in any such activities,
excursions or services which are not run, supervised, controlled or inspected in any way by us. They are provided by
local operators or other third parties who are entirely independent of us. They do not form any part of your contract
with us even where we suggest particular operators/other third parties and/or assist you in booking such activities or
excursions in any way or they can be booked through your hotel or our local agent. We cannot accept any liability on
any basis in relation to such activities, excursions or services and the acceptance of liability contained in clause 10(1)
of our booking conditions will not apply to them. We do not however exclude liability for the negligence of ourselves
or our employees resulting in your death or personal injury.We cannot guarantee the accuracy of information given
in relation to such activities, excursions or other services or about the area you are visiting generally or that
any particular excursion, activity or other service which does not form part of our contract will take place as these
services are not under our control. We can advise you of the latest known situation at the time of booking on request.
12. COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS
In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your holiday whilst away,
you must immediately inform our local agent and the supplier of the service(s) in question. Any verbal notification
must be put in writing and given to our local agent and the supplier as soon as possible. Until we know about
a problem or complaint, we cannot begin to resolve it. Most problems can be dealt with quickly. If you remain
dissatisfied however, you must write to us within 28 days of your return to the UK giving your booking reference and
full details of your complaint. Only the party leader should write to us. If you fail to follow this simple complaints
procedure, your right to claim the compensation you may otherwise have been entitled to may be affected o even
lost as a result.
13. ABTA MEMBERSHIP
We are a Member of ABTA, membership number W5823. As an ABTA member we are obliged to maintain a high
standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We are also able to offer you an arbitration scheme for the
resolution of disputes arising out of, or in connection with your booking with us. The scheme is arranged by ABTA
and administered independently. It is a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with
restricted liability on you for costs. The upper limit on claims is £5,000 per person and £25,000 per booking form. The
scheme doesn’t apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. It can
however deal with claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the amount
the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. Your request for arbitration must be received by ABTA
within eighteen months of the date of return from holiday. For injury and illness claims, you can request the ABTA
Mediation Procedure and we have the option to agree to mediation. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s
assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.
14. BEHAVIOUR
When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you.Full payment for any such damage
or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be paid direct at the time to the accommodation owner or
manager or other supplier. If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must
pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. You will
also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own
and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance
to protect you if this situation arises.We expect all clients to have consideration for other people. If in our reasonable
opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any other person in authority, you behave in such a way as to cause or be likely to
cause danger, upset or distress to any third party or damage to property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate
the holiday of the person(s) concerned. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave
the accommodation or other service. We will have no further responsibility toward such person(s) including any return
travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the
termination.
15. CONDITIONS OF SUPPLIERS
Many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers.Those suppliers provide
these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions.Some of these terms and conditions may limit or
exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions (see clause
10.6). Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from us or the supplier
concerned.
16. SPECIAL REQUESTS AND MEDICAL PROBLEMS
If you have any special request, you must advise us in writing at the time of booking.Although we will endeavour to
pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met
unless we have specifically confirmed this. For your own protection, you should obtain confirmation in writing from
us that your request will be complied with (where it is possible for us to give this) if your request is important to you.
Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of the special request
on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met.Unless and
until specifically confirmed,all special requests are subject to availability.We regret we cannot accept any conditional
bookings, i.e. any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such
bookings will be treated as “standard” bookings subject to the above provisions on special requests.If you have any
medical problem or disability which may affect your holiday or any special requirements as a result of any medical
condition or disability (including any which affect the booking process), please tell us before you confirm your booking
so that we can advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements. In any event, you must give us full details in
writing at the time of booking and whenever any change in the condition or disability occurs. You must also promptly
advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your holiday develops after your booking has
been confirmed.
17. PASSPORTS, VISAS AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
The passport, visa and health requirements applicable at the time of printing to British citizens for the holidays we
offer are shown elsewhere. A full British passport presently takes approximately 2 to 6 weeks to obtain. If any member
of your party is 16 or over and haven’t yet got a passport, our recommendation is that you should apply for one at
least 6 weeks before your holiday. The UK Passport Service has to confirm your identity before issuing your fist passport
and will ask you to attend an interview in order to do this. Requirements may change and you must check the up to
date position in good time before departure. Information on health is contained in the Department of Health leaflet T7
(Health Advice for Travellers) available from your local Department of Health by telephone on 0870 1555455 and most
Post Offices It is the party leader’s responsibility to ensure that all members of the party are in possession of all
necessary travel and health documents before departure. All costs incurred in obtaining such documentation must
be paid by you. We regret we cannot accept any liability if you are refused entry onto any transport or into any country
due to failure on your part to carry correct documentation. If any member of your party is not a British citizen or holds
a non British passport, you must check passport and visa requirements with the embassy or consulate of the
country(ies) to or through which you are intending to travel. If failure to have any necessary travel or other documents
results to fines,surcharges or other financial penalty being imposed on us, you will be responsible for reimbursing us
accordingly.
18. YOUR FINANCIAL PROTECTION
We provide full financial protection for our package holidays. For flight-based holidays this is through our Air Travel
Organiser’s Licence number 5856. When you buy an ATOL protected flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive
an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financial protected, where you can get information on what this means for you
and who to contact if things go wrong.
In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund
any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. For further information visit the ATOL website at
www.atol.org.uk.
We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate
(or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency,
an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra
cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations
and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder.
However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case
you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).
If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable
alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel
Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such
a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or
relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer
where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has
paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.
We are also Members of ABTA, Membership number W5823. When you buy a package holiday that doesn’t include a
flight, protection is provided by way of a bond held by ABTA.
19. PRICES AND WEBSITE ACCURACY
Please note, the information and prices shown on our website may have changed by the time you come to book your
holiday. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the website and prices at the time of printing, regrettably
errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen holiday (including the
price) with us at the time of booking.
This website is our sole responsibility. It is not issued on behalf of and does not commit any independent
organisation/carriers whose services are featured in it.
20. DELAY AND DENIED BOARDING
We regret we are not in a position to offer you any assistance in the event of delay at your outward or homeward point
of departure. Any airline concerned may however provide refreshments etc. We cannot accept liability for any delay
which is due to any of the reasons set out in clause 10(2) of these booking conditions (which includes the behaviour
of any passenger(s) on the flight who, for example, fails to check in or board on time).
If your flight is cancelled or delayed, your flight ticket is downgraded or boarding is denied by your airline in
circumstances which would entitle you to claim compensation or any other payment from the airline under EC
Regulation No 261/2004 - the Denied Boarding Regulations 2004, you must pursue the airline for the compensation
or other payment due to you. All sums you receive or are entitled to receive from the airline concerned by virtue of
these Regulations represent the full amount of your entitlement to compensation or any other payment arising from
such cancellation, delay, downgrading or denied boarding. This includes any disappointment, distress, inconvenience
or effect on any other arrangements. The fact a delay may entitle you to cancel your flight does not automatically
entitle you to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in conjunction with
your flight. We have no liability to make any payment to you in relation to the Denied Boarding Regulations or in
respect of any flight cancellation or delay, downgrading of any flight ticket or denial of any boarding as the full amount
of your entitlement to any compensation or other payment (as dealt with above) is covered by the airline’s obligations
under the Denied Boarding Regulations. If your airline does not comply with these rules, you should complain to
the Air Transport Users’ Council on 020 7240 6061 www.auc.org.uk
21. SAFETY STANDARDS
Please note, it is the requirements and standards of the country in which any services which make up your holiday
are provided which apply to those services and not those of the UK. As a general rule, these requirements and
standards will not be the same as the UK and may sometimes be lower.
22. FLIGHTS
In accordance with EU Directive (EC) No 2111/2005 Article 9, we are required to bring to your attention the existence
of a “Community list” which contains details of air carriers who are subject to an operating ban within the EU. The
Community list is available for inspection at http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/list_en.htm We are also required
to advise you of the actual carrier(s) (or, if the actual carrier(s) is not known, the likely carrier(s)) that will operate your
flight(s) at the time of booking. Where we are only able to inform you of the likely carrier(s) at the time of booking, we
will inform you of the identity of the actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of this. Any change to the operating
carrier(s) after your booking has been confirmed will be notified to you as soon as possible. If the carrier with whom
you have a confirmed reservation becomes subject to an operating ban as above as a result of which we/ the carrier
are unable to offer you a suitable alternative the provisions of clause 8 “Changes and cancellation by us” will apply.
The flight timings given on booking and detailed on your confirmation invoice are for general guidance only and are
subject to change. The latest timings will be shown on your tickets which will be despatched to you approximately
two weeks before departure.
You must accordingly check your tickets very carefully immediately on receipt to ensure you have the correct flight
times. It is possible that flight times may be changed even after tickets have been despatched - we will contact you
as soon as possible if this occurs.
We are not always in a position to confirm the airline, aircraft type and airport of destination which will be used in
connection with any flight included in your holiday. When this information is provided at the time of booking or
subsequently, it is subject to change.
Any such change will not entitle you to cancel or change to other arrangements without paying our normal charges.
23. FOREIGN OFFICE ADVICE
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office publishes regularly updated travel information on its website
www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo which you are recommended to consult before booking and in good time before departure.
