Terms and Conditions |
|
...AIR TRANSPORTATION |
|
Air transportation is in economy class on IATA carrier, based on lowest promotional airfares and subject to terms and conditions set by the airlines. Airfares quoted are those in effect at time of printing and are subject to change without notice. Airfares can be protected from increase only by payment in full and the issuance of tickets. Changes in flight itineraries by the passenger after the issuance of tickets may result in an increased airfare. When an airline has sold out its promotional airspace quoted in the package, a different booking code with a higher rate will be used at additional cost. Airlines reserve the right to change schedules without notice. Under the packages stated herein, the airline is a supplier of air transportation only. The other suppliers providing transportation, hotel accommodations, and rail and rental car services under these vacation packages are independent contractors and are not employees of the airlines. Because of increased liability concerns, airlines are imposing additional insurance surcharges with/without prior notice. Airfare quoted could be adjusted accordingly. |

...LAND ARRANGEMENTS |
|
Land operators overseas arrange all hotel accommodations, transportation by air/rail/ boat/bus/car, and meals and sightseeing tours as specified in the itinerary. They reserve the right to change the schedules, hotels, means of transportation and sightseeing without notice, credit or refund. Sightseeing tours could be seat- in-coach/join in tours by motor-coach or by private car with English-speaking guide, depending on each destination on Pacific Holidays tours. Arrival and departure transfers could be by private car/coach with or without English-speaking guide depending on each destination. This will be clearly stated on tour voucher. If it is originally seat-in-coach tour/ transfer and private transfer/tour is requested, additional charge will be required. Land Only prices listed in the Pacific Holidays brochure include air or surface transportation between cities within Asia, the South Pacific, and Latin America on the itinerary unless otherwise specified. All hotels listed for the programs are carefully selected for their service, location and price. If one of these hotels is fully booked at the time of reservation, Pacific Holidays and its local representative will substitute reservation with a similar hotel at similar standard and price. If a hotel of the same category cannot be found, a better or lesser hotel will be used. Price may change accordingly. Room categories in all programs are usually run-of-the-house, or garden-view room/bungalow or as specified. If one specific category requested or included is not available at time of booking, a different room category can be reserved at a different rate. |

...TOUR MANAGER |
|
A scheduled departure with more than 15 participants will have a tour manager from Pacific Holidays. His/her service will start in the first city in Asia/South Pacific/Latin America. However many Pacific Holidays tour packages go to remote and less-frequented destinations in Asia, South Pacific, and Latin America. Our group departure may have fewer than 15 participants. In this case the tour will be locally escorted or hosted. |
|

No refunds will be made for complimentary accommodations and service provided by airlines, hotels and local tour operators. No refunds will be made for changes to hotels and/or other services made at the discretion of the passenger en route. Travel insurance, visa fee, and visa handing fee are non-refundable.
