Additional Information - Airline Security Measures:
In the U.S., you must provide identification in the form of a passport at
the time of airport check-in for travel to international destinations.
Your passport name must match the name on your tour reservation and
airline ticket or you may be denied boarding.
- If you are traveling from an
airport outside the jurisdiction of the U.S, you will need to determine
what travel documentation and identification is required for that
particular airport.
- Due to heightened
security regulations, certain items such as a metal nail file, pocketknife,
cigarette lighter or tweezers, and some liquid, gel, or aerosol items may not
be permitted in your carry-on luggage. Please call your airline prior to
departure to obtain current information on non-permissible carry-on items
and recommended airport check-in times. You may also wish to visit the
Transportation Security Administration website at www.tsa.gov to
obtain more information on acceptable identity documentation and
prohibited luggage items.
- Air Services: Once issued,
tickets are non-refundable. Airline schedules and flights are subject to
change without notice. We will not be responsible for penalties incurred for
tickets, international or domestic, not issued by us due to schedule and/or
flight changes. Airlines reserve the right to demand immediate issuance of
tickets whenever they determine that specific flights are heavily booked
even when normal ticketing rules do not require tickets to be issued until
a later date. In this instance, we will require immediate and full payment
of the airfare and airport taxes and fees as itemized on the invoice. This
situation overrides invoice terms and conditions and payment due dates. If
full payment is not received, seats will be cancelled by the airline and
may not be available to be rebooked on the same flights or at the same
airfare. Any replacement air arrangements and airfare will be the sole
responsibility of the passenger. We suggest you contact your travel agent
or the carrier several weeks prior to departure for seat assignments.
Passengers are responsible to reconfirm their flights 72 hours prior to
departure for all flights. Package is based on discount fares for group
travel. Group members deviating from group dates will be charged a $75
deviation fee per person.
- Holidays and Museum Closures
- Museum visits and personal shopping time may be disrupted due to
unforeseen circumstances or the many religious, state and local holidays
locally observed in the destinations being visited.
- Photography During Tours: We
will occasionally use photographs taken by fellow guests or your trip
director for promotional purposes. If you prefer that your photo not be used
in any marketing activities, please notify us at the start of your
tour.
