  • If airfare has been included in a quote, then it should be noted that airfare pricing and availability is like the stock market - and subject to change at anytime prior to booking.
  • Many times international airfare can be placed on a no cost/no obligation hold for up to 72 hours on providing only your full name as it appears in your passport.
  • If hotel accommodation has been part of a quote, it may be based on limited or time sensitive, consolidator-contracted rates. These rates can change without notice and may be subject to capacity controls.
  • Travel insurance is highly recommended.
    • Quotes routinely provide the deluxe insurance package rate.
    • Conditions are subject to health and age qualifications.
