CONNECTING FLIGHTS USING SEPARATE FARES AND SEPARATE TICKETS
BAGGAGE CHARGES
NORTH AMERICAN DOMESTIC FLIGHTS
You should be aware of potential problems in
this circumstance.
This happens infrequently, but you should be aware
of the possibility.
For example combining separate fares to Los Angeles,
with other carriers to Aspen, involves two separate fares
and airline tickets.
Baggage: In some circumstances, carriers may not interline
baggage, which must then be carried between terminals,
and re-checked for onwards flights.
Should your flights misconnect for any reason, each carrier
can apply the rules of their individual fare, and could require
you to pay a penalty charge, to continue a delayed journey.
A through fare ticket does not remove the inconvenience
of missed connections, however airlines will generally
assist with rebooking the continuation of your journey.
Domestic US/Canadian carriers do
not have free baggage allowance
and will apply baggage charges.
These are generally waived when
flight is part of a through ticketed
international journey.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Lowest Fares: Please ask your consultant if any
special fares may apply. Travelplan receive special
fares that may not have been available at the
time of printing.

Frequent Flyers: Register in an airline Frequent Flyer
Program and earn points using any of our ski fares.
Please let us know your frequent flyer number(s)
at the time of booking.
Taxes and Surcharges: Travelplan has included
Canadian Navcan $29.00 in our fares where
applicable. Other taxes and surcharges as known
at publication date, are included. Subject to change.

combined with other specialty trips, including Powder 101, Pay As You Play,
Family Trips, and Small Group Heli-Skiing.
Family Heli-Skiing Trips
Family Trips are designed for families with 12 to 17 year-old skiers. Families begin
the day heli-skiing together but kids can return to the lodge when they tire, to participate
in various fun, supervised, indoor and outdoor activities. In the evening, the chefs cook
up a grand family dinner with special meals for the kids. On Christmas morning, families
share time around a beautiful tree with gifts for everyone in the lodge.
Private Group Heli-Skiing
This program is designed for groups of skiers looking for a personalized heli-skiing
experience. Private groups have exclusive use of a helicopter, guides, and depending
on the area you choose, the lodge. This program offers tremendous flexibility in setting
the pace and choosing how much skiing you do.

LOS ANGELES – CALIFORNIA
ANAHEIM – CALIFORNIA
HONOLULU, OAHU – HAWAII
Los Angeles is the entertainment capital of the world,
filled with diverse experiences including legendary
behind-the-scenes movie studio tours and celebrity
home tours; 120kms of sunny coastline; some of the
world’s top cultural attractions at a variety of art, history
and science museums; an international and acclaimed
dining scene; trendsetting California-style shopping
options from couture to vintage; and vibrant nightlife
ranging from intimate clubs to some of the world’s
most famous music venues.
Anaheim is the ideal family vacation destination
and home to an array of world-class theme parks
such as Disney California Adventure® Park and the
original Disneyland® Park as well as Knott’s Berry
Farm® and LEGOLAND ® California. Here children
can tap into their imagination where classic
storybook characters come to life or scream
with delight on hair-raising thrill rides.
On Oahu, Hawaii’s timeless beauty blends with the modern
luxuries of today. Swim in the warm waters of world-famous
Waikiki one moment, then enjoy the dramatic mountain
views of the Nuuanu Pali Lookout another. Watch the surfers
on the legendary North Shore by day, then dance the night
away in vibrant nightspots around Honolulu. Get a taste
of local flavours in Kapahulu one night, then dine at a Five
Diamond Hawaii Regional Cuisine restaurant the next. From
indulging in urban comforts to escaping to natural wonders,
Oahu’s “town and country” experiences are unrivalled.
HONG KONG
Hong Kong, Asia’s World City, is a bustling metropolis of unrivalled shopping, superb dining and a unique blend of
East-meets-West culture. The vast array of attractions and exciting line up of events and festivals will ensure that
every visit offers something new. Take in the city’s stunning harbour views from a stylish rooftop bar or traditional
junk boat, indulge at Hong Kong’s mega malls housing hundreds of international brands, join a traditional tai chi
class or be pampered with healing foot reflexology techniques.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND BOOKING CONDITIONS
Please read carefully and ensure that you understand and accept
the conditions and information outlined.
Reservations A Booking Form must be received by Travelplan at
time of deposit to proceed with booking. Non-refundable ground
package deposit of $500 per week per person. Balance of payment
due eight weeks prior to departure or according to airfare rules.
Higher deposits up to 50% are sometimes required by hotels
and apartments, and Christmas bookings generally have to be
finalised by October.
Credit Card Payments We will add a surcharge of 1.0% for Visa
and MasterCard, 2.5% for Diners Club and 3.0% for American
Express. Credit card payments are accepted on the express
understanding that you authorise Travelplan Australia Pty Ltd to
pay deposits and balance payments on your behalf to airlines,
accommodation operators and other principals involved. In
consideration of doing so, you will not hold Travelplan Australia
Pty Ltd responsible for the insolvency and/or failure to perform of
airlines, accommodation or any other principal involved, and in any
of those events, you will not ask your credit card provider to revoke
payments made, where Travelplan Australia Pty Ltd is the merchant
in such transactions.
Currency Adjustment Policy All Travelplan prices, denominated
in AUD, are subject to variation due to volatility in foreign exchange
prices. Any variation to listed prices will be based on the rates
available to Travelplan at the time the deposit is paid by the client
and again on payment of the final balance. Our exchange rate at
date of deposit is only taken into account for amount of deposit
paid to overseas supplier. Travelplan may take out foreign exchange
contracts to protect the client and Travelplan from excessive adverse
movements in AUD exchange rates. For this reason, the foreign
exchange rate applied to client payments may differ from the
current market rate. The Travelplan Ski 2014 brochure is based
on Travelplan exchange rates at 11 April 2013.
YOUR TRAVELPLAN AGENT
Currency Protection Options There are two options to protect your
booking against currency fluctuation. At any time you can lock in the
current package and airfare costs by paying the balance amount
in full, based on current Travelplan exchange rates. Land costs can
alternatively be protected against currency fluctuation for a small
fee. The Currency Guarantee Charge is currently 1.5%. Contact your
Travelplan consultant for further details. Either of these actions will
mean your Travelplan land costs will not change due to currency
fluctuation. This protection only applies to Travelplan operated
packages, and against currency fluctuation. Should you subsequently
cancel all or part of your land booking, a charge may be made
against any adverse currency effect on Travelplan.
Responsibility Travelplan Australia Pty Ltd acts as a booking agent
only for the persons or organisations providing or offering the means
of travel, accommodation, ski lifts or services detailed and as such
cannot be held responsible for any injury, loss, accident, delay or any
other irregularity outside of our control. The issuance and acceptance
of any receipt, voucher, coupon, exchange order, air ticket or itinerary
shall be deemed as consent by the client to the above conditions.
Baggage Allowance We recommend prior to departure, you
check exact baggage restrictions with the airlines on your itinerary.
The following information is given as a guide, but is subject to
change. Domestic flights often do not include free checked luggage,
particularly in the United States. Airlines may waive baggage charges
on domestic flights if you are connecting to/from an international
flight, or upon presentation of your international ticket at the check-in
counter. If more than one airline is providing the transportation for
journey, each airline may apply different rules on both checked
and carry-on luggage.
Generally speaking, for flights to North America, one suitcase
is allowed (two suitcases on Qantas and Virgin Australia) with a
combined total dimension of 106” (269cm) with no one suitcase
exceeding 62” (157cm), with max 23kg for Economy Class or
32kg for Business/First Class per piece. One set of ski equipment
counts as one piece of baggage. For flights elsewhere free baggage
allowance is generally 20kg total for Economy Class, 30kg for
Business Class and 40kg for First Class. Maximum 1 piece per
person carry on luggage. All carry on luggage must comply to
size restrictions enforced by the airlines and each piece must
not weigh more than 7kg.
Passport and Visa A passport is required for overseas travel,
with a validity of six months after your return date. For some
countries a consular visa or travel authorisation is also required.
We will assist in obtaining necessary travel documents and advise
on health regulations. However, the possession of such documents
is solely the passenger’s responsibility.
All eligible travellers to the United States (including those in transit)
who wish to travel under the Visa Waiver Program must now apply
for authorisation using the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation
website, visit https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov. As part of the Secure Flight
program, your passport information must also be entered into your
flight bookings, please provide details on your Booking Form.
Cancellation Airfares are subject to up to 100% cancellation fee
once tickets are issued. Please reconfirm airfare conditions with
Travelplan. A cancellation service fee up to $100 per person may
be charged for a booking cancelled more than 60 days prior to
scheduled departure date. This fee will increase to up to $300
per person for bookings cancelled from 60 to 45 days prior to
scheduled departure date. This fee does not include cancellation
charges by accommodation and/or other principals. Ski hotels
have very stringent cancellation policies particularly in the United
States. Generally if a cancellation is received inside 45 days prior
to departure you will lose all monies paid.
Prices All prices shown in Travelplan’s brochure are based on
airfares and projected currency exchange rates at 11 April 2013
and are subject to change without notice for any reason whatsoever.
Prices do not include local, airline, customs or departure taxes,
insurance, gratuities or any other costs not detailed in final
invoices or itinerary. Additional costs caused by weather, failure
of transportation services or other circumstances beyond our
or our principal’s control are not included or recoverable.
Airlines All tour arrangements are performed under the exclusive
responsibility of different contractors. Airlines, therefore, act only
as agents for the contractors providing the various services herein
and do not accept any liability in connection with such services or for
any loss, injury or damage to or in respect of any person or property.
Airlines will only be responsible for air carriage performed by them.
Such air carriage will be subject to the provisions referred to in the
conditions of contract contained in the passenger ticket. Qantas
Airways Limited (Incorporated in Queensland), United Airlines,
Air Canada, Emirates, Japan Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Delta Airlines
and Virgin Australia do not by virtue of their endorsement of
Travelplan’s brochure represent themselves either as contracting with
any purchaser of a holiday from Travelplan or as having any other
legal relationship with any such purchase.
Service Fees Due to the continued change in the way the industry
is run and remuneration paid, it has become necessary to implement
a series of service fees. A charge up to $50 may apply for each and
every amendment after booking instructions have been received.
This charge is in addition to any cancellation fees that may apply.
Other service fees are enforceable, please refer to the list of
service fees.
Travel Insurance All passengers must travel with adequate
insurance cover. A comprehensive policy should be taken out at
the time of booking. Travelplan Ski or your travel agent can arrange
this cover on your behalf.
Validity The tours in this brochure are valid from 1 May 2013
to 30 April 2014 unless superseded.
