The person in whose name the booking is made acts on behalf of all other persons named and becomes responsible for making all the payments in respect of the booking. If you are making a payment less than eight weeks prior to departure you must pay the total cost of your travel arrangements. If you do not pay as described above, your travel arrangements will be automatically cancelled. We do not send reminders. We are entitled to cancel your travel arrangements for non-payment as specified. Should we have to cancel your travel arrangements because you have failed to pay, you will be liable to pay us cancellation charges. Our back offices are located in different cities including UK and India. The processing of your reservation and payment might take place at any of these back offices, including back offices outside UK. In order to avoid fraudulent use of cards we may undertake measures which would involve the card holder to confirm certain details with the bank about the transaction. Failing to do so may lead to cancellation of the reservation.
DEPOSITS
Where deposits are taken this only guarantees the seat NOT any tax increase and fare increase. The deposits are non-refundable. Your fare is guaranteed only once you make the full payment. Your seat is guaranteed only after your tickets are issued by our agency and we send you the e-tickets.

If after booking you wish to change your travel arrangements, we will do our utmost to meet this new instruction as long as they are received by us in writing and accompanied by an amendment fee. Please enquire for more details with your consultant. Alterations cannot be made to passenger names and it is your obligations to book under the correct names as they appear in the relevant passport. Name changes will be treated as cancellations and will be subject to the cancellation charges set out below. Please note that some travel arrangements cannot be changed after a reservation has been made and any alterations will incur a 100%cancellation charge. All fares are subject to change, sometimes without advance notice: it is therefore in your own interest to finalize payment as soon as possible, as fares can only be guaranteed if full payment has been received.
CANCELLATION BY THE PASSENGER
You may cancel your booking at any time as long as it is communicated to us in writing. As this incurs administration costs, we will retain your deposit (deposits are non-refundable) and additional cancellation charges may apply.

It should be noted that the majority of discounted airline tickets carry a 100% cancellation charge. Refunds can take anything between 12-14 weeks. If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of an insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges.

Bookings where payments made by credit/debit card are liable for the following surcharges: 2.5% on Visa & Master Card. 3.5% on American Express and Diner`s Club.
