Aviation Security Charge

We have included in our prices a charge representing the extra aircraft insurance and security
costs which have been imposed on airlines and tour operators to the basic price of your holiday.
At the time of publication our understanding is that the costs amount to GBP[10] per person but
you should be aware that this may change between the date of publication and the time of travel.
Since these costs are beyond our control, we reserve the right to increase the amount of this
charge at any time. We will of course inform you of such any such change should it become
necessary.

Amendments

Whilst we do our utmost to accommodate any changes that you may make after receiving your
contract, such changes are subject to availability and where permitted by the carrier. These
changes attract a GBP30 administration fee plus any additional costs these changes may incur. If
the travel arrangements have been “issued” on “non-changeable” special fares, we will not be
able to make any modifications to your travel itinerary. Any amendments made within eight (8)
weeks of departure will follow the cancellation fee schedule (see below). Name changes or
departure changes are not always permitted by the carrier and may be treated by them as
cancellations and charged accordingly. If airline tickets have been issued in this instance, any
changes made to the booking may mean that you will have to pay for the cancelled ticket and
purchase a new ticket at full cost.

Brochure Accuracy

Whilst at the time of receipt of this brochure by you Flights Club Ltd believe that the
contents are accurate circumstances can change after publication. For example, all the facilities
in a resort might not be fully functional in early or late season. Sometimes a hotel may change its
meal system from waiter service to buffet service, or back again. A pool may be closed for
maintenance, or air conditioning may only be available at certain times of the day and/or year.
Public holidays and religious festivals may also affect the availability of resort and hotel
facilities. The tourist office for your chosen destination can provide details of such events and
other information. We will tell you of any material changes that we know about when you book
your holiday.

Brochure / Website Room Descriptions And Facilities

Photographs and descriptions of hotels and resort facilities are shown in good faith. Room
descriptions are supplied by the hoteliers and in some cases we may sometimes refer to suites or
deluxe accommodation. These are in general, larger rooms with additional features however this
does not necessarily mean that the accommodation comprises more than one room. It is possible
that occasionally facilities may be unavailable or limited, due to hotel maintenance, adverse
weather conditions or seasonal restrictions etc. We have used all reasonable endeavours to
ensure that nothing in our brochure is false or misleading at the time of going to press but reserve
the right to change any brochure/website particulars before you book. Please also bear in mind
that specific requests made at the time of booking cannot be guaranteed.

Child Safety

Should you be traveling with young children, we recommend that you advise us at the time of the
booking. The safety of your children is of utmost importance to us, however, we must stress that
it is important for you to remain vigilant at all times during your holiday to ensure their safety.
Any passengers under 18 years of age traveling to South Africa will be denied boarding if they
are not carrying their original birth certificate and in the event that only one parent is traveling,
certified written consent from the other parent is required to allow the child to travel.

Complaints Procedure

You should make your complaint known to the local representative of Flights Club Ltd at
the earliest opportunity. If they do not resolve the problem to your satisfaction, you will need to
contact our offices no later than 28 days after your return to the UK. Your complaint should be
made in writing to our Customer Services Department, Flights Club Ltd (UK), 384 Coventry Road,
Small Heath, Birmingham, United Kingdom, B10 0UF. giving your booking reference and all other
relevant information. You
must keep your letter concise and to the point to assist in identifying your concerns to speed up
our response to you. If you fail to follow this simple procedure, we will have been deprived of
the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint and this may affect your rights under
this contract.

Conditions of Carriage

Flights Club Ltd accepts responsibility for the proper provision of elements of your holiday
of which it is the operator. However, Flights Club Ltd is recognized as an organizer for
travel and holidays only and, as such does not control or operate any airline, shipping company
or rail company. When you travel by air, sea or rail, your journey may be subject to certain
international Conventions such as the Warsaw Convention and Montreal Convention
(international carriage by air), the Athens Convention (international carriage by sea) or COTIF
(international carriage by rail), as such conventions are amended or re-enacted from time to time.
You agree that the operating carrier or transport company’s own “Conditions of Carriage” will
apply to you on that journey. When arranging this transportation for you, we rely on the terms
and conditions contained within these international conventions and those “Conditions of
Carriage”. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those “Conditions
of Carriage” form part of your contract with us as well as the transport company and they are
deemed to be included by reference into this contract.
Timings of flights are subject to change. Any re-issue / re-validation / cancellation of ticket will
incur an administrative fee.
Confirmation of commencement of journey, and reconfirmation of onward your journey
including departure and arrival airport terminals, and change(s) in departure and arrival timings
is the responsibility of the traveler.
Please remember that any passengers traveling to or via USA/CANADA : will require an ESTA
at least 72 hours prior to travel, even for transit purposes.

Cruise & Hotels Additional Fees Paid Locally

On cruises there may be occasional TIPS and port fees which are payable locally, and cannot be
collected on your behalf. These will be notified to you, and these charges will be charges at the
time of departure by the cruise company. Similarly, many hotels globally may collect tourism
fees on behalf of the city / country they are located. If these are applicable, these are only
payable locally to the hotel at time of check out.

Data Protection Policy

To ensure that your holiday runs smoothly we and your Travel Agent (if you use one) need to use

information such as your name and address, special needs, dietary requirement, etc. We will
apply appropriate security measures to protect this data. However, we must pass it to suppliers

of your travel arrangements, including airlines, hotels and transport companies. We may also

supply it to security or credit checking companies and to public authorities such as customs and

immigration. If your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA) controls on data
protection in your destination may not be as strict as in the UK. We will only pass data including
sensitive information regarding disabilities or dietary and religious requirements to people
responsible for your travel arrangements. If we cannot pass this information to the relevant
suppliers in the EEA or elsewhere, we cannot provide your booking. When you make this booking

you consent to this information being passed to all relevant persons. Information held by your Travel

Agent is subject to that company’s own data protection policy. We can supply a copy of your information

held by us; there is a reasonable charge for providing this. We may use this information to contact you with

details of our other products and services.

 

Diving

All passengers intending to scuba dive will be required by the dive center to complete a medical
questionnaire. If your fitness is in question, you may be asked by the operator to undergo a
medical examination. This may result in considerable additional costs which you will be charged
locally. No refunds will be given if you are refused medical clearance to dive. You are strongly
advised to undergo a full medical examination before booking your holiday.

Flights and Flight Routings

Flights on our programme are arranged with reputable airlines. Should delays or cancellations
occur, the airline would normally provide refreshments, meals and if necessary accommodation.
We do not provide such services at the point of departure or at the point of return to the UK. Any
claim relating to such events must be made directly to the airline. A direct flight is a flight where
there is no change of aircraft en route, but stops are possible, as the aircraft may need to refuel or
allow other passengers to join or leave the aircraft. A non-stop flight travels from the origin to
the destination without stopping. Where a flight is shown to travel via other destinations, at least
one change of aircraft is necessary en route.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, airlines may find it necessary to alter the published routing.
This may be a last minute change or can even occur during the flight to/from your destination.
Flight timings may also change. Should this occur, and if we are able, we will inform you as
soon as we are made aware of any changes to the previously confirmed timings given to us by
the airlines.

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) issues travel advice on destinations, which
includes information on passports, visas, health, safety and security and more. For more

you cancel or alter your booking later you may have to pay an additional charge. If you book

booking. We reserve the right to refuse your booking but in that event we will refund any money
that you have paid to us. Specific seating on the operating airline or specific location for hotel
rooms cannot be guaranteed and are determined in some cases only at check-in.

claims for personal injury arising as a result of our staff and suppliers being negligent in the
course of their employment or contract. Liability is not accepted in the following instances :-

i. if you or any member of your party is at fault;

and
iii. any unusual or unexpected circumstances beyond our control that we
could not have avoided.

Our liability to you for loss or damage which you may suffer is limited to two and a half times
the price of your holiday, but subject to the limitation that any loss that you suffer because of
failures by transport operators or hotel keepers to perform services involved in your holiday is

limited to the amount that you can recover from them under the law of England, the country in
which they operate or under any applicable convention. Conventions in particular in relation to

conditions of carriage usually limit the liability of the transport operators.

Other Items

(a)Once you have checked in for your flight your welfare is the responsibility of the air carrier.
We do not accept responsibility for the provision of refreshments, meals or overnight
accommodation in the event of a flight or other delay at your outward or return point of
departure. Normally the airline will arrange for meals and accommodation in the event of such a delay.
(b) You are responsible for ensuring that you are at the correct departure point at the
correct time and we are not liable for any loss or expense suffered if you fail to do so.

Price Increases

No price increases will apply once full payment has been received. Surcharges may be applied in
the event of a variation in transportation costs, exchange rates, government action, fees for
certain services or fuel increases charged by carriers. If the increase is more than [10 ]% you will
have an option to cancel your booking and obtain a refund of all monies paid (excluding
insurance, visa and vaccination costs) provided the cancellation is made in writing within seven
(7) days of receipt of the notice.

Pregnancy Note

Airline regulations state that women 28 weeks or more into pregnancy, at the time of return
travel, must have medical certification of fitness to travel. Normally after 32 weeks permission to
travel is refused however, airlines have different policies and we would need to check as to
whether they will agree to carry you, prior to confirming your holiday. It is imperative that you
notify us of your pregnancy at the time of booking or as at such time you become aware.

Flights Club Ltd accepts no responsibility for any delay or expense incurred through any
irregularity in your documents. This includes the need for visa for transit purposes, for example,
passengers traveling to Canada via USA will need a USA visa even if not stopping in USA on
their itinerary (and vice versa). In the event that we are asked to re-issue tickets that have been
lost, destroyed or stolen and we agree to do so, any charges incurred will be payable by you.
