Fuel Surcharges and Taxes
Airlines may impose a fuel surcharge before ticketing. ASI is not able to predict these costs. If your group incurs a fuel surcharge for the airline ticket, everyone ticketed with the group will be charged the amount of the fuel surcharge. This amount can be anywhere from $40 - $200 from our experience. You will be notified of this charge prior to your final payment due date if there is any charge at all.
Airfare
Airfare is quoted upon request. The cost of the fares will not be guaranteed until deposits are received per seat. Passengers will be subject to the restrictions of current airline policies. Any additional charges implemented by the airlines will be added to the cost of your tour - examples: Fuel Surcharges or name changes for the passengers if airfare has already been ticketed. When airfares have been purchased with ground arrangements, the airline’s conditions, cancellation policy and fees will apply. Airfare terms and conditions will be available at time of booking and it may be that additional deposit amounts may be required to hold air seats.
Final Balances
Final balances for all passengers are due 30 days prior to departure. Failure to pay promptly renders your place on the tour liable to cancellation with the loss of monies paid as stated under “cancellation policy”.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation fees will be kept to a minimum. However, in the event of you having to cancel part, or all, of your arrangements within the following, the below cancellation conditions apply:
· Deposit of $50 per person is non-refundable for groups without airfare
· Cancellation fee of 100% of total cost if cancelled within 60 days of departure for all groups
Airline tickets are non-refundable, non-transferable and cannot be assigned. This is the current policy of most major airlines. Once tickets are issued, these guidelines will supersede all communications except those dictated by the airline. ASI will pursue any and all options with the airline to amend their change and cancellation policies to the benefit of our traveling clients.
If We Change or Cancel Your Tour
It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your travel arrangements, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally, we may have to make changes and ASI reserves the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes will be minor, and we will advise you or your travel agent of them at the earliest possible date. Routings and itineraries can be affected by adverse weather, road closures or other reasons and may be varied accordingly. We shall endeavor to advise you of these changes as soon as we are aware of them, however these and any other factors beyond our control, no liability will be accepted by ASI for any additional expenses incurred.
ASI recommends the purchase of Travel Insurance for your team. Individual travel insurance is not provided by ASI.
ASI reserves the right to:
· Substitute any hotel/lodge/motel accommodation should circumstances necessitate at its discretion. Should any substitution occur then the accommodation provided will be of a similar standard.
· Cancel your tour arrangements in any circumstances: for example, if the minimum number of clients required for the tour is not reached.
· Cancel a tour either in whole or for an individual passenger in the event that circumstances beyond the control of ASI necessitate alternative arrangements to ensure the safety of other tour participants or their reasonable participation in and enjoyment of their tour. In such an event ASI reserves the right to decline to make any refund of any tour cost.
Distribution of Information
Flight tickets and a comprehensive itinerary will be distributed to you two weeks prior to departure. Please note, that we will not have hotel, game or facility information available until approximately two weeks prior to your departure. Once we have all the final details they will be forwarded to you in an email. In addition, all telephone numbers and addresses of accommodations will be provided within an itinerary at that time. ASI will not be responsible for providing any tour information or services to travelers who are not booked with the group.
For your Group Leader: Lists
A final travel roster is due at ASI 2 months prior to departure for airline ticketing. Once tickets have been issued they are non-refundable, non-cancelable and a new ticket must be issued and paid in full at the rate indicated at the time of new issue. Any changes in ticketing will be charged $300 or the current cost imposed by airlines.
Rooming lists are due at ASI 2 months prior to departure.
