A contract will exist as soon as we issue our confirmation invoice. This demonstrates the lead passengers agreement to pay the balance outstanding (if applicable) and understanding that if the balance is not paid within the time scale, Airworld reserve the right to cancel any arrangements made This contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions which are governed by English law and we both agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the English courts at all times.

   

Ratings

   

All accommodation ratings including any star ratings are the tour operators own. They may differ from the accommodation's official rating. Ratings may also differ from one operator to another, depending upon the individual assessment of the accommodation in question by that operator.

   

Tickets

   

Tickets are normally dispatched 14 days before date of departure. If you do not receive your tickets 7 days before date of departure please contact 0870 444 4567 or e-mail info@airworldtours.com

   

Unless otherwise advised tickets will be sent to the address of the credit card holder. If your ticket has not been paid for prior to the specified ticketing time limit advised by us or an authorised agent, we may cancel your reservation. All tickets are non-transferable, non-refundable and non-changeable. Carriage will only be provided to the passenger named in the ticket who may be required to produce appropriate identification. Tickets always remain the property of the issuing carrier and/or the relevant tour operator and will cease to be valid if they are mutilated or altered other than by us or our authorised agent. The ticket for your return or onward journey may not be valid or may cease to be valid if the first part of your ticket has not been used. Further to this passengers may be unable to commence their journey at an agreed stopping place other than that stated as their departure airport on the ticket.

   

Correct Spelling of Names, Titles

   

All names, titles and initials of those travelling should be correctly given at the time of booking. Changes cannot be made at a later date without extra charges being incurred.

   

Costings

   

The costings on the late holiday searches come direct from the tour operators viewdata system, and thus do not include supplements that are added by the tour operator such as ticket on departure charges, airport taxes, single person supplements etc.

   

All costings are subject to final confirmation as on the Tour Operator invoice. Children's discounts are all subject to the correct age of the child being given as at the return date of the holiday.

   

Conditions of carriage

   

Your booking is subject to conditions of carriage of air, rail or sea carriers some of which may limit or exclude liability. These conditions are often the subject of international agreement between countries.

   

Pricing policy

   

All prices shown are in UK£ Sterling per person sharinga twin/double room and are purely for guidance only. Your final holiday price will be confirmed to you at thetime of booking, which will incorporate any increases or reductions known to us at that time. However, yourholiday price, thereafter, is subject to surcharges for increases in: i) transportation costs e.g. fuel, scheduled airfares and any other airline surcharges which Airworld Tours is obliged to pay or collect, ii) dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services (e.g. landing taxes and embarkation/disembarkation fees at ports and airports), iii) the exchange rates applied to the particular package and Government action such as increases in VAT or any other Government imposed increases. No price changes will be made within 30 days of departure. In the case of any small variation we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of the confirmed holiday price, excluding any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person. If you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements you may cancel your holiday and receive a full refund except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. Whether you cancel or not you will also be entitled, in the terms set out below in respect of 'major changes to your holiday', to accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements from us subject to availability and compensation if appropriate. It should be pointed out that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your holiday due to contractual and other protection in place. All prices quoted are calculated on known costs as at 15 May 2019 and currency exchange rates against the UK£ as posted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 15 May 2019: Euro 1.1341; US Dollar 1.2724; Tunisia Dinar 3.823; UAE Dirham 4.8506; Thailand Baht 40.6934; Malaysia Ringgit 5.3107; Singapore Dollar 1.7571; Hong Kong Dollar 9.9817

   

Major changes to your holiday

   

If before you depart we have to make any major change to your holiday arrangements e.g. change of departure time of more than 12 hours in each direction, change of airport (but excluding changes between airports in the London region, aircraft type or airline) it will only be because we are forced to do so by circumstances usually beyond our control. In such an unlikely event we will inform you immediately and our objective will be to minimise your inconvenience. We will, wherever possible, offer you alternative arrangements as close as possible to your original choice. You will then have a choice of accepting, taking another available holiday of similar price or cancelling. Should you choose to cancel you will be reimbursed all monies paid to us.

   

Changing your arrangements

   

If you wish to alter your booking in any way once we have confirmed it, we shall do what we can to satisfy your requirements. An amendment fee of £50 per person will be charged plus any appropriate additional airline/holiday costs (some airlines do not allow any name or date changes). Any alterations by you within 70 days of departure may be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and may be subject to cancellation charges as shown in the table below.

   

Force Majeure

   

We accept no responsibility for and shall not be liable in respect of any loss or damage or alteration, delays or changes arising from unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control such as war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute including air traffic control disputes, terrorist activity, natural and nuclear disasters, fire or adverse weather conditions, technical problems with transport, closure or congestion of airports or ports, cancellations of schedules by scheduled airlines.

   

Compensation for Cancellation or Material Alteration by us

   

In the event of a cancellation or a material alteration to your holiday, Airworld Tours will pay compensation as follows (except where Airworld Tours has to cancel or make a material change to your holiday as a result of Force Majeure). Compensation per person (excluding infants) No of Days Notification Before Departure
More than 70 days ------------------------------------ Nil
43-69 days ------------------------------------------- £10
29-42 days ------------------------------------------- £20
15-28 days ------------------------------------------- £30
14 days or less --------------------------------------- £50
For children invoiced at a reduced price, compensation will be paid on a pro-rata basis of the adult price. No other claims for compensation or expenses will be considered.

   

Complaints

   

If you have a problem during your holiday please inform the relevant airline, hotel, local agent or other suppliers immediately so that they can endeavour to put things right. If they cannot resolve the problem you must contact Airworld Tours UK office so that we are given an opportunity to assist. Airworld Tours will not hold themselves responsible for the non-performance of an itinerary through causes beyond their control or when they are not notified of a problem at the point where remedial action can be taken. In the unlikely event that a complaint cannot be resolved at the time, you should write to us within 4 weeks of returning home, giving your original booking reference number and all other relevant information. If you fail to take any of these steps this will hinder our ability to put any problem right and/or investigate it fully and any right you may have to receive compensation will be reduced or completely invalidated. Disputes arising out of or in connection with this contract, which cannot be amicably settled may be referred to arbitration under a special scheme administered by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone. It does not apply to claims over £5,000 per person or £25,000 per booking form. A limit of £1,000 per person applies to any part of a claim for personal injury or illness. You must apply for arbitration within 9 months after your scheduled date of return. Details of the scheme will be supplied on request from the Association of British Travel Agents, 68-71 Newman Street, London W1P 4AH.

We would be happy to discuss the possibilities and advise you accordingly.

If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme.
