Payment Verification & Financial Security

WHO ARE WE?

We do not make false promises, we just give what we have in our flight booking system (Galileo, GDS, Worldspan). We also clearly mention that all flight tickets are subject to availability depending on travel dates. Be sure, airlines are our suppliers and we need some information to generate PNR (Passenger name record number) on flight booking system. We are not authorized to generate fake booking PNR. So, we need all required information to book your flights and we will ask you while booking a flight of you.  Schedule Airline Failure Insurance (SAFI) will be added to your invoice if scheduled airline flights are booked. For full details of the financial protection in place for your booking, please enquire at the time of making a booking.

HOW ARE YOU SECURE?

For the maximum financial security of our customers, we have devised a foul proof and double check system. In this system once, the reservation is completed over the phone and the confirmatory email containing all flight details is sent to the traveler, the traveler is informed of the total cost of purchase / charged amount and requested to verify the same with her/his bank in order for us to guarantee transparency and precision.

Traveler/buyer may be required to provide secondary confirmation of total transaction amount as appearing on her/his statement or the authorization code of transaction. This can either be obtained through online statement check or making a call to the respective bank.

The exact amount (not a round figure but in pounds and few pence) must match with our records. In cases where the payment as stated on traveler "s statement does not match with the accounts records in our company, tickets cannot be issued (compliancy check failure).

Once the traveler/buyer confirms the total amount in exact figures (pounds & pence) and provided that the payment confirmed matched 100% with the company records / accounts, tickets are issued immediately.

THIRD PARTY CARD PAYMENTS REQUIREMENTS & OBLIGATIONS

In cases where the cardholder / traveler does not want to provide any or all of the above documents s/he may switch the mode of payment such as cash payment / bank transfer where no photo I’d or documents are required.

One may visit our office with all documents and in the case where s/he does not want to fax/mail the third-party card documents.
In the case, if satisfactory documents are not provided, our verification officer reserves the right to terminate reservation with or without cancellation charges applied.

The Payment verification and financial security procedure

Changes & Cancellation Policy

The following Changes and Cancellation policy apply to all purchase items / holiday / package / hotel / flight or other services with no regards to mode of payment or mode of reservation.

CHANGES IN RESERVATION:

If, after a confirmation email/invoice has been issued, you wish to change your holiday arrangements / Flight reservation, we will do our utmost to assist you, however, 98% suppliers particularly airlines, do not allow changes and tickets are strictly NON-REFUNDABLE, NON-CHANGEABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE.

Any change to an itinerary prior to receipt of your final payment will be treated as an amendment.

Depending on the amount of work involved, each change/amendment will incur a charge which will not exceed £50 per person; in addition to any further costs or charges that we incur from our suppliers in making the alteration considering that the airline/supplier rules/policy permits the requested change.

If full payment has already been received amendments may not be permitted under the airline policy, under these circumstances, amendments can be treated as cancellations and the cancellation charges detailed below will apply. However, generally cancellations are entirely non-refundable (unless specified).

Please note that most suppliers, in particular airlines do not allow a name change / date change or any changes and may consider this as a cancellation with a 100% cancellation charge (where ticket is not utilized as originally issued).

CHANGES BEFORE TICKET / VOUCHERS ISSUANCE

Reservations are entirely non-changeable, non-transferable and non-refundable, unless specified. However; Changes before ticket issuance are regulated both in accordance with airline policy and company policy and should be discussed with the concerned agent as rules may vary depending on carrier/supplier. Changes cannot be guaranteed and will depend on an availability of seats/fares and classes. Also, Changes incur cost differences / penalty.

Once a change is requested by the traveler, any previous/existing reservation and fares are dissolved to make changes and therefore, if a traveler chooses to retreat, it is not possible to offer the same previous fare again, or older/previous reservation or seats on previously given/reserved date. Hence in that case, any fare difference, charges or penalty will apply accordingly to return to reservation on original data. In cases where the difference is not paid or agreed by the traveler; yet the change has been ordered, the reservation will be treated as cancelation by traveler and cancellation charges will be payable/deducted.

Name Change Before Ticket / Voucher Issuance

Please note as airlines strictly do not permit name changes at any stage, if you require a name change prior ticket issuance; it can be done only through re-booking of seats. As we are seller of special and promotional fares available for short duration and few seats only, it is possible that upon rebooking (for name change) same fare, same dates or prices are not available. Under these circumstances any fare / cost difference as applicable, will be payable by the traveler. Fares are constantly changing and mostly raising, therefore any fare/tax difference as applicable on date of name change / rebooking will be charged accordingly and payable by the traveler. However, if the difference is not accepted or paid, the reservation will be subjected to regulations as stated in section 6.2 headed "cancellation by traveler".

Date / Schedule Change Before Ticket/Voucher Issuance

The date / schedule change requires to book the cheapest available or closest available fare or any available fare on the new/amended date. However, there may not be the same or cheap fare available on a new date or any date other than that reserved initially on request. Also, fares are revised every 24 hours and the airline may revise fares / or raise fares at any instance. Under these conditions, fare difference in addition to any date change penalty as applicable on new/changed date will be payable by the traveler. However, if the traveler refuses to proceed with the date change, after the change is ordered by her/him, the terms as stated in section 6.2 headed "cancellation by traveler" will apply.

Reservation Dissolution / Dissolved Reservations/Vouchers:

Please note upon ordering a Name / Date change, the details of previous/existing reservation are dissolved to make any new changes in your PNR / Record. Hence, one cannot revert to older reservation at same costs or seat availability may not remain open on same date, once changes are ordered and original reservation is dissolved to search for changes.
If the change or difference is not accepted (after ordering), the reservation may automatically incur cancellation charges considering that the former dates / reservation is dissolved already upon change order.

If the reservation or the fare expires or is withdrawn by airlines, clients may only opt for either alternative flights and pay for any difference in cost, or they may opt for a full refund. Please note that Debit/credit card surcharge(s) are not refundable since they go to a third party (bank/Card Issuer)

The name on tickets / vouchers should exactly match with the names / name order / name spellings & title as stated on passport or traveler documents. In case of match failure at any level, the traveler will not be allowed to continue or carry out journey and the tickets / vouchers will be fully non-refundable.

Name Change on Issued Tickets / Vouchers:

Please note Name change on issued tickets is not permitted under any or all circumstances.

Date Change on Issued Tickets / Voucher:

All tickets are entirely Non-changeable, Non-refundable and Non-transferable unless specifically stated in conditions.

Please note that airline refunds on the part used tickets and the return half of the airfare are always less than the pro-rata rate and may have no refund value whatsoever. Refunds usually take 8 - 12 weeks but in certain cases may take longer or indefinite period such as Airline Bankruptcies. Please note, airlines are directly in control of refund matters, refund amount or refund date and the agency is only a communication channel, hence bears no responsibility for delays or differentials or airline actions.

Cancellation has to be applied within a certain period (24 hours to 7 days) and after a given periods cancellation may not be refunded or entertained. Also, documents, airline letters, passport or ticket copies/scans can be demanded to apply cancellations.

Any other cost/damage claims or any other amount other than the cost of tickets / paid value to the agency cannot be claimed through or by the agency and has to be claimed directly from the airline.

On issued tickets, the airline cancellation policy is entirely applicable where the cancellation charges are determined and deducted by the airline itself. *please inquire with your agents
Any remaining / outstanding balance is refunded between 8 – 12 weeks of cancellation of tickets, provided that if it is received at our end or if paid back timely by the airline. The refund is made in the same account (as charged from) unless specified.

However, we provide complimentary services to apply and chase refunds with the airline/accommodation on traveler’s behalf. Where the refund of remaining balance after cancellation is applied to us, our consultants follow up the refund (if any) and the received amount is paid back into the account from where it is taken. The date, time and amount of refund depend entirely on the airline and its respective policy and the company is not liable or accountable in such cases.

In most cases, flight tickets/reservations can be entirely non-refundable, non-changeable and non-transferable *please enquire with your agents.

CANCELLATIONS BY AIRLINE

A traveler can be requested to provide appropriate documents/letters from an airline, where the airline cancels its flights before departure/return. The traveler should also provide ticket scan/copy or any other evidence as requested by the concerned agent/consultant.

In case of airline cancellation, the airline may provide alternate flight options OR full / part refund (depending on conditions/route / status of the ticket). It is up to the traveler to accept or decline airline offer or choose refund/ alternate options. The traveler must contact the airline directly in these cases.

Once the tickets are issued, the total cost is paid to the airline and therefore the refund, status of a refund, time/date of refund, amount of refund, or any financial matters, claims or complaints are to be directly sorted out with the airline. The agency is not liable or has any influence direct or indirect on the airline offering or operations and bears no responsibility for airline actions. In case of cancellation by airlines (changes which lead to refund processing authorized by airline) shall entitle the passenger to the full refund of all such funds that the airlines pay back to us. This figure may differ from the original payment made initially at the time of booking. Ticket issuance and refund application are two separate activities and may be charged separately. In case the airline authorizes the full refund, there will still be charges applicable by us which will be pre-notified before applying for such refunds. However, we provide support, services, and assistance in applying for refunds, acquiring alternate options and in problem-solving.

Our agents can/should be contacted for the guideline, support or advice where the airline has canceled the flights or is not operational.
For accurate or immediate information on flight status, refund status, airline operations, schedules and airline refund, travelers/buyers are recommended to establish direct contact with the airline head office, nearest office or regulatory authorities.

General Information

Please note that airfares are constantly changing and usually increasing. Very often there is little or no notice of these increases, but very rarely do increases apply to tickets already issued. It is therefore to your advantage to finalize payment as soon as you can after booking, and so reduce any risk of the surcharge. Please remember your deposit only secures the reservations, not the price. Through deposit, one ensures the availability whereas the cost may vary pertaining to the fluctuations in airline policies, pricing, tax, and currency. The airline reserves the right to revise costing unless the tickets are issued. Whereas schedules may also be revised after/before the tickets are issued. All passengers should check flight schedules 72/48 hours’ prior departure of flight (both outbound and inbound) by calling the airline and final payments are determined after the recheck of airline policy and pricing as at the date of final payment or full payment.

Airline Passenger Information Disclosure Act

Please note that airlines are now required by laws introduced in the United States and other countries to give border control agencies access to passenger data. Accordingly, any information that the airline holds about you and your travel arrangements may be disclosed to the customs and immigration authorities of any country on your itinerary. E&OE Please note that the details shown are stated Errors & Omissions Excepted.

Deposits and Balance Payments

When you make a booking, a deposit of £ 25 per person is required (plus insurance premiums if applicable). The exact deposit due should be confirmed to you at the time of booking and will depend on the services booked.

You may continue your "Reservation Account" through making weekly, monthly, part or final payment of your flightreservation. Once final payment is received, the total/net amount paid calculation, applicable total cost as on date of final payment, any fare/price difference or schedule revision (if any) to date / on the date of final payment, will be notified and differences (if any) are payable by the travelers.

Please note deposits are non-refundable.

Please note that all airfares / prices are inductive and the airline/accommodation or government / controlling body reserves the right to revise fares /taxes or prices at any instance in which case any applicable difference is payable by the traveler at the time of final payment or prior deadline/ticket expiry. It is therefore to your advantage to finalize payment as soon as you can, after making your reservation.

AIRPORT TAXES: Some airports will levy an airport departure tax, which is payable by passengers at the airport locally. Information on these charges is not given through our quoted fares.
If full payment is accepted at the time of booking, the deposit will be deemed to have been included.

Pre-Paid Taxes

Your tickets will show the pre-paid taxes known at the time of booking. If any Government Body, Airport Authority or Airline increases or introduces a tax this will have to be paid on occasion, even if it is after your tickets have been issued and the agency is not liable or accountable for any such increases/introduced charges.

It is not always possible to include all departure taxes on your ticket - in some cases, departure taxes must be paid locally and these are payable to the Government of the country departed and are non-refundable. Please check these amounts with the airline when you are reconfirming.

Where scheduled airlines are booked, Scheduled Airline Failure Insurance will be added to your booking.

The "prepaid taxes" as advised by the airline at the time of reservation off flights are included in the total cost of reservation by the agency and communicated at the time of purchase/payment. 

The agency is not liable or accountable for any other amount charged as fare/airport tax or local tax at any other point once the tickets are issued.

Routings and Timings

Unless otherwise stated, the routing on your air ticket cannot be changed, once the balance has been paid. Please note that the timings of air, sea, road and rail departures are estimates only. These timings may be affected by operational difficulties, weather conditions or passenger failure to check in on time.

Flight timings are subject to change as a result of airline procedures and latest available times will appear on your final itinerary. Please note that direct flights can have a scheduled stop reroute.

Most airlines reserve the right to alter their schedule, destination airport, and type of aircraft. Such changes will not entitle you to compensation nor cancel or change your arrangement without paying normal charges.

Please also note carriers have conditions of carriage which will apply to you and which limit or exclude liability.
We do not make any arrangements if there is a delay at the outbound or inbound points of departure, neither we are liable for any such occurrence directly auctioned by the airline/supplier. Most airlines, however, do make provisions in such cases (dependent on the length of time).

In certain cases, Direct Flights may involve a “Ground Elapse " meaning the flight will stop for a short time, however in Ground Elapse, Passengers are not required or permitted to go outside the plane. *Please note ground Elapse may not be mentioned on your itinerary.

Non-stop flights are different than direct flights as Non-stop flights may not involve ground elapse (unless required).

The route/destination of your itinerary is NON-CHANGEABLE whether the tickets are issued or not or under any circumstances. However, in cases, where an alternate flight time is available considering that the tickets are not issued and that the seats are available in alternate times, the change may be possible (at cost/difference as applicable on the date of change made). Please note in case of any or all changes the original reservation is dissolved refer to “Dissolved Reservation".

Reconfirmations Requirements

Immediate confirmation from the passenger, on top of "confirmatory email", is required right after the reservation/purchase. In case of delay in responses, the traveler will be liable for any differences/cancellation or changes that may occur in due course.

The traveler must make sure that s/he receives the detailed confirmatory email within 24 hours of reservation OR contact concerned agent/consultant immediately.

You must reconfirm all onward and return flight reservations with the relevant airline at least 72 hours prior to departure. This allows the airline to inform you of any unforeseen delays/changes to your itinerary, and provides the airline with contact details for you. Delays (If any) should directly be discussed and sorted out with the airline/hotel/service provider (car hire) as the agency is not liable for airline/supplier/ operations or direct services.

Special Requests

If you have any special requests (window seats, meals, drinks etc.) we will do our utmost to ensure that these are passed on to the supplier (airlines). We will also be happy to request pre-allocated seating where airline policy allows. However, you should note that we cannot guarantee that suppliers will accept these requests and that they, therefore, do not form any part of your contract with us.

Dispatch of Travel Documents / Tickets

We aim to send out your travel documents (Itinerary/vouchers) to you at least 10 days before departure unless you make a late booking or delay the confirmation of flights/payments. OR once you confirm and meet all requirements as mailed/communicated to you at time of reservation, considering the full payment is made and confirmed, the tickets/vouchers are issued and e-mailed ASAP (mostly 24 hours). In peak times this may not be the case. No tickets will be sent out unless final payment has been received and cleared. Travel documents (e-tickets/vouchers) will be sent on email as attachments and should be printed out or collected from our offices. In rare cases, where documents are specially required in post, they will be sent by Royal Mail Services (charges apply). However, we recommend that customers use Royal Mail “Special Delivery ", a similar service or a courier and these can be arranged provided that you cover the additional costs involved. We cannot accept responsibility for items lost in the post and additional charges may be applied to any documents that are reissued.

*A traveler must make sure that tickets are sent to him and that s/he is in possession of the E-tickets at least 24 hours prior departure and that the ticket at the time of reservation should contain all correct information (name/schedule/destination). In case of delay or no receiving of E-tickets, the traveler must contact the agent /manager immediately to acquire E-tickets or contact airline for confirmation or ticket numbers on basis of name/reference. The agency will not be liable for travel to the airport or any action taken without reconfirmation of schedule (48 hours in advance) or travel without e-tickets in hand or released.

Lost or Stolen Tickets/Vouchers

Should tickets become lost or stolen, it is necessary to complete a form of indemnity to be passed to the airline. Some carriers are then prepared to issue replacement tickets immediately but may impose a fee for this. Other airlines require full payment to issue replacement tickets and will refund the amount paid for the original documents at a later date. This process can take up to 18 months. We will charge an administration charge of £35.00 per person if we have to reissue your tickets, in addition to any charges applied by the airline or supplier concerned, should we have to reissue your travel documents for whatever reason.

However, in case of most E-tickets, they can be re-send / emailed to you immediately once we are informed.

We offer a comprehensive policy, which covers medical, and repatriation expenses, personal baggage and personal effects, loss or theft of money, personal liability and cancellation or curtailment charges. Please note we will not accept responsibility for any person who fails to be properly insured for their journey. Once the 14-day cooling off period built into the Insurance Policy has expired, we are not able to refund the insurance premium. This is a condition of the insurance company.

Passports, Visas, Health and Traveler Liabilities

OR that it should have at least 2 blank pages for the stamp. Please always inquire Visa/Transit or Passport policy with the relevant consulate or embassy as the agency is not responsible or liable for valid travel documents/visas etc. Also, please contact your local doctor who can provide immunization requirements for countries where vaccination card is required along with travel documents to board.
