Payment and Payment Terms
The full payment is due immediately by Visa, Master Card, American Express, Electronic Funds Transfer or Cash Deposit at a bank, whichever is applicable. If the full payment is not received on time on the day that the Booking was made, the Travel Agent or Third Party Service Provider (as the case may be) involved reserves the full right to cancel the Booking. In the event that payment has been made after the aforementioned deadline, the Client will be liable for any difference in price should the Client still want to proceed with the Booking at the higher price.
booked2fly.com is a USA company and all transactions are processed in United States Dollars. All payments shall therefore be made in the equivalent local currency in accordance with the prevailing conversion rate as published from time to time by the Agent. Therefore conversion charges may be levied by your merchant bank if payment is made from another country and/or in another currency other than United States Dollars. This fee is driven by the global treasury of the applicable credit card and is impacted by the change in daily exchange rates.
Prices
Prices are quoted at the ruling daily exchange rate. Until the Travel Agent has received payment of the Price in full, it reserves the right to charge any fluctuations to the Client's account and the Client undertakes to pay for any such fluctuation on demand. The onus will be on the Client to check that there have been no changes in the Price prior to making full and final payment. Airfares are subject to the price and conditions quoted by the airlines.
However, once payment of the Price in full has been received, the Price is guaranteed provided that the payment was made by midnight on the day that the Booking was made. Should the Client be a group booking and the group number deviates from the number required for the Booking, the Principal may reserve the right to re-cost the Price and raise a surcharge. Should any Client refuse to accept and pay such surcharge, it may result in the Principals cancelling the Booking and retaining any payment made. (The Travel Agent will be entitled to retain any service fees charged).
Service Fee
These fees cover the costs incurred by the Travel Agent in booking and servicing your travel reservation.
Cancellation
In the event of the Client cancelling the Booking, the Travel Agent shall have the right to either claim an amount or to retain an amount of the payment and claim damages suffered by the Travel Agent. The Principals may reserve the right to cancel any services prior to departure, in which event the entire payment for the ticket will be refunded to the Client without any further obligation on the part of the Travel Agent.
The Travel Agent will charge a fee for processing the request for refund. (Clients should refer to the 'Refunds' section of these Conditions, as well as the cancellation provisions contained in the Principal's Conditions and Website. Principals may charge cancellation fees over and above these stated here).
Cancellations and Changes
Your contract with your Suppliers may allow them to cancel or amend bookings. If we are your Booking Agent, we will ensure that you are promptly notified of any significant changes once we become aware of such change if there is time before your departure, but we accept no liability for any changes or costs incurred that may result. Subject to the Supplier's terms and conditions, you will then have the choice of accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements if one is made available by the Supplier, or canceling your booked arrangements and receiving any applicable refunds. We do not guaranty that any refunds will apply.
If you have booked a flight and we are alerted to a significant schedule change by your airline before you leave the United States, we will contact you by email to advise you of this. Please ensure that you have given your contact email address to us and that you regularly check for messages before you leave. We have no control over airline schedule changes and accept no liability for costs which may arise as a result of such changes.
After you have left the US, it is your responsibility to check with the airline that any onward flights you have confirmed are operating as booked. We strongly recommend that you contact your airline at least 72 hours before the scheduled departure of each flight to do this. Please note that for some airlines it is mandatory to confirm with them your intention to fly.
If You Change Your Booking
Where a change requested by you to your travel arrangements is permitted and possible, our standard service fees will apply in addition to any additional Supplier charges. Please contact your original booking agent to enquire about changes or review the 'Travel Help' section of www.booked2fly.com for details of how to request changes. Please note that all reservation changes are subject to availability and the terms and conditions of the product purchased.
Changes to name details are not allowed by many airlines and other Suppliers. While we will endeavor make such a change if necessary, please bear in mind that most airlines and Suppliers treat a name change as a cancellation, to which standard conditions and charges would apply.
Flights must be taken in the sequence they appear on your ticket or eticket confirmation. If you plan not to take a flight as booked, please contact the airline as far in advance as possible to discuss your options. If you do not check in on time for a confirmed reservation, the airline may register you as a 'no-show', which could result in extra charges and/or your whole flight itinerary being cancelled and/or render your ticket void.
If You Cancel Your Booking
If you cancel your arrangements, you may be entitled to a partial refund. In addition to the cancellation terms and conditions of your Supplier(s), our standard fees will apply as may be outlined on your receipt or booking confirmation. We need to receive from you your original voucher before any applicable refund can be considered. If you decide to cancel arrangements before the balance due date, any deposits paid are non-refundable.
Refunds will only be paid to you once we have received the funds back from the Supplier(s). Generally flight tickets cannot be refunded if they are partially used. We are not responsible for a Supplier's failure to pay a refund. If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim your cancellation charges through your insurer.
Foreign Exchange Regulation Compliance
Foreign Exchange Regulation Compliance is the Client's exclusive duty. This will apply especially when the Client instructs the Travel Agent to make and pay for travel arrangements on the internet.
Electronic Ticketing (e-tickets) booked2fly.com uses electronic tickets (e-tickets) for all flights. Your reservation and ticket data are automatically transferred to the airline's reservation and management system. Upon issuance of a ticket, you will receive an e-mail which includes your ticket number for your 'e-ticket', which must be printed and used for check in at the airport. Your name in the reservation system MUST match your identity and identification documents used for travelling. If you are travelling with more than one passport the ticket must match your travelling passport. Failure to correctly enter data for names or passports used for travel is the passengers responsibility and booked2fly.com has no liability for errors or omissions on any booking details entered or not entered into for a booking.
Internet Bookings
If the Client requests or instructs the Travel Agent to affect bookings via the internet, the Client irrevocably authorizes the Travel Agent to do the following on its behalf (1) make any selections of and for the Proposed Travel Arrangements (2) make payment of a booking and ancillary services and (3) accept booking conditions.
Baggage
booked2fly.com uses information provided by suppliers to identify the possible baggage allowance available to the traveler based on fare basis, class of ticket, and airline. booked2fly.com has no liability for correctness, errors, or omissions on any booking relating to baggage allowances. Airlines and suppliers have reserved the right to change baggage policies without notice to suit business and operational needs. Please note that international and mixed carrier flights may have differing baggage allowances. International departures and arrivals to and from North America, when in combination with domestic North America flights, may require additional baggage fees, not quoted by booked2fly.com, to be paid upon departure. booked2fly.com has no liability for any baggage fee's charged at check-in for any flight on any airline, rail, or cruise travel.
When there are two or more airlines involved for connecting flights then you may have to claim your bags at the connecting airport and check-in again to continue your journey. You are also advised that in these cases if you have excess baggage, where there is a difference in baggage allowance from one carrier to the next, you will have to pay an excess baggage fee assessed by each airline. Most USA airlines and a growing number of international and domestic carriers now charge baggage fees even for the first bag checked. Our display of a baggage allowance on the search page and on any issued ticket is subject to the acceptance of the airline as to it being correct. We publish the airlines filed baggage allowance for the fare, class, and route. Airlines have the right to change baggage policy and fees without notice. Baggage fees range from 15 USD up to 100 USD or more depending on the size and weight of the bag and are per checked bag. Excess baggage fees are calculated by the kilo or by the piece depending on the airline. Any additional fees for baggage not purchased at the time of booking from the booked2fly.com website are to be paid directly to the airline upon using such service.
Refunds
No refunds will be considered in any circumstances whatsoever by the Travel Agent. Refunds by the Principals will be subject to their respective terms and conditions. The Travel Agent may charge a fee for processing a request for refund. Principals may charge refund fees above those stated here. Documentation
Our general practice is to send documents to our customers electronically whenever possible. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee should you makes a request for such documents to be sent as a hard copy. Important Notice Regarding Airline Reservations
If you arrive at an airline ticket or passenger check-in counter with your confirmed ticket and find that the airline shows no reservation for you – do not leave the counter. Check your ticket. If the status box shows "OK" for the flight in question, the airline policies typically require them to accommodate you on that flight, or if that is not possible, they must either find you a substitute flight or pay you denied boarding compensation. If necessary ask to speak to a supervisor.
Complaint If you have a problem during your holiday, please inform the relevant Supplier (e.g. your hotel) immediately. Should they be unable to resolve the matter, please immediately contact us, either through the office where you made your arrangements, or through booked2fly.com. If you fail to timely contact us, we will not be permitted the opportunity to investigate your complaint and attempt to rectify any error while you are away, and this may affect your rights under this Agreement. We are a member of the Better Business Bureau.
Travel Documents and Destinations It is your responsibility to ensure that all of the details on your travel documents are correct and to bring to our attention any errors or discrepancies immediately. Your travel documents are valuable and should be safeguarded as if they were cash. It is not always possible to replace travel documents in the case of loss, theft, damage, etc. Prior to booking international travel, we recommend that you review any U.S. Government's prohibitions, warnings and advisories applicable to your destinations. By offering travel to any particular destination, we do not represent that travel in such destination is safe or without risk.

You are also required to carry a valid International Student I.D., and International Youth I.D. or an International Teacher I.D. card if you are traveling on a special student/youth/teacher ticket. It is your responsibility to verify this with our travel expert who is assisting you. Insurance
Travel insurance is a vital part of your arrangements. We strongly recommend that you have taken out adequate insurance for the duration of your journey. Travel insurance is a mandatory element of some travel arrangements. We may be able to arrange travel insurance to be provided to you, furnish you a quote, and answer any queries you may have regarding the insurance.

Airline use of Insecticide Spray
Some countries require insecticide spraying of aircraft prior to a flight or while you are on the aircraft. Federal law requires that we refer you to the Department of Transportation's Disinfection Information page on their website at the time of booking for further information. http://airconsumer.dot.gov/spray.htm Hazardous Materials Disclosure

After you have left the US, it is your responsibility to check with the airline that any onward flights you have confirmed are operating as booked. We strongly recommend that you contact your airline at least 72 hours before the scheduled departure of each flight to do this. Please note that for some airlines it is mandatory to confirm with them your intention to fly.
If You Change Your Booking
Where a change requested by you to your travel arrangements is permitted and possible, our standard service fees will apply in addition to any additional Supplier charges. Please contact your original booking agent to enquire about changes or review the 'Travel Help' section of www.booked2fly.com for details of how to request changes. Please note that all reservation changes are subject to availability and the terms and conditions of the product purchased.
Changes to name details are not allowed by many airlines and other Suppliers. While we will endeavor make such a change if necessary, please bear in mind that most airlines and Suppliers treat a name change as a cancellation, to which standard conditions and charges would apply.
Flights must be taken in the sequence they appear on your ticket or eticket confirmation. If you plan not to take a flight as booked, please contact the airline as far in advance as possible to discuss your options. If you do not check in on time for a confirmed reservation, the airline may register you as a 'no-show', which could result in extra charges and/or your whole flight itinerary being cancelled and/or render your ticket void.
If You Cancel Your Booking
If you cancel your arrangements, you may be entitled to a partial refund. In addition to the cancellation terms and conditions of your Supplier(s), our standard fees will apply as may be outlined on your receipt or booking confirmation. We need to receive from you your original voucher before any applicable refund can be considered. If you decide to cancel arrangements before the balance due date, any deposits paid are non-refundable.
Refunds will only be paid to you once we have received the funds back from the Supplier(s). Generally flight tickets cannot be refunded if they are partially used. We are not responsible for a Supplier's failure to pay a refund. If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim your cancellation charges through your insurer.
Foreign Exchange Regulation Compliance
Foreign Exchange Regulation Compliance is the Client's exclusive duty. This will apply especially when the Client instructs the Travel Agent to make and pay for travel arrangements on the internet.
Electronic Ticketing (e-tickets) booked2fly.com uses electronic tickets (e-tickets) for all flights. Your reservation and ticket data are automatically transferred to the airline's reservation and management system. Upon issuance of a ticket, you will receive an e-mail which includes your ticket number for your 'e-ticket', which must be printed and used for check in at the airport. Your name in the reservation system MUST match your identity and identification documents used for travelling. If you are travelling with more than one passport the ticket must match your travelling passport. Failure to correctly enter data for names or passports used for travel is the passengers responsibility and booked2fly.com has no liability for errors or omissions on any booking details entered or not entered into for a booking.
Internet Bookings
If the Client requests or instructs the Travel Agent to affect bookings via the internet, the Client irrevocably authorizes the Travel Agent to do the following on its behalf (1) make any selections of and for the Proposed Travel Arrangements (2) make payment of a booking and ancillary services and (3) accept booking conditions.
Baggage
booked2fly.com uses information provided by suppliers to identify the possible baggage allowance available to the traveler based on fare basis, class of ticket, and airline. booked2fly.com has no liability for correctness, errors, or omissions on any booking relating to baggage allowances. Airlines and suppliers have reserved the right to change baggage policies without notice to suit business and operational needs. Please note that international and mixed carrier flights may have differing baggage allowances. International departures and arrivals to and from North America, when in combination with domestic North America flights, may require additional baggage fees, not quoted by booked2fly.com, to be paid upon departure. booked2fly.com has no liability for any baggage fee's charged at check-in for any flight on any airline, rail, or cruise travel.
When there are two or more airlines involved for connecting flights then you may have to claim your bags at the connecting airport and check-in again to continue your journey. You are also advised that in these cases if you have excess baggage, where there is a difference in baggage allowance from one carrier to the next, you will have to pay an excess baggage fee assessed by each airline. Most USA airlines and a growing number of international and domestic carriers now charge baggage fees even for the first bag checked. Our display of a baggage allowance on the search page and on any issued ticket is subject to the acceptance of the airline as to it being correct. We publish the airlines filed baggage allowance for the fare, class, and route. Airlines have the right to change baggage policy and fees without notice. Baggage fees range from 15 USD up to 100 USD or more depending on the size and weight of the bag and are per checked bag. Excess baggage fees are calculated by the kilo or by the piece depending on the airline. Any additional fees for baggage not purchased at the time of booking from the booked2fly.com website are to be paid directly to the airline upon using such service.
Refunds
No refunds will be considered in any circumstances whatsoever by the Travel Agent. Refunds by the Principals will be subject to their respective terms and conditions. The Travel Agent may charge a fee for processing a request for refund. Principals may charge refund fees above those stated here. Documentation
Our general practice is to send documents to our customers electronically whenever possible. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee should you makes a request for such documents to be sent as a hard copy. Important Notice Regarding Airline Reservations
If you arrive at an airline ticket or passenger check-in counter with your confirmed ticket and find that the airline shows no reservation for you – do not leave the counter. Check your ticket. If the status box shows "OK" for the flight in question, the airline policies typically require them to accommodate you on that flight, or if that is not possible, they must either find you a substitute flight or pay you denied boarding compensation. If necessary ask to speak to a supervisor.

Should they be unable to resolve the matter, please immediately contact us, either through the office where you made your arrangements, or through booked2fly.com. If you fail to timely contact us, we will not be permitted the opportunity to investigate your complaint and attempt to rectify any error while you are away, and this may affect your rights under this Agreement.
