4.10 Hotels and Flights
(a) To make a booking with Almont, please contact us by e-mail or telephone at the addresses and telephone numbers detailed on our Website or in your Membership Pack. Our staff will then prepare a travel proposal for you based on your requirements. The travel proposal will set out the price of the travel arrangements and when payment of the price will be invoiced and payable.
(b) Once we have received your confirmation email to proceed and deposit payment, we will then go ahead and request confirmation from our partners/suppliers. Until we have confirmation back from our partners/suppliers in writing we are unable to confirm your trip. We will then advise you of confirmation once written confirmations have been received.
(c) Please carefully check all details set out in the travel proposal and confirm the booking in writing. When we have received your confirmation, we will then issue a confirmation invoice for payment of the price of the booking. Please carefully check the confirmation invoice and notify us immediately if any details are incorrect or incomplete and we will reissue the relevant invoice. Your booking will be accepted by us when we have received payment of the confirmation invoice and booked your travel arrangements. Processing your payment is not a guarantee or representation that your requested arrangements will be provided or confirmed.
(d) We will do our best to accommodate any special requests but unfortunately we cannot guarantee that these will be met in every case. We will not be liable if any special request is not met.
(e) Your tickets and other travel documents will normally be issued between 10 and 14 days prior to the date of travel. The nature of the holidays we arrange means we are often not in a position to confirm every requested element at the time of booking. Once the key elements of your holiday (flights, accommodation etc.) are booked and confirmed, we will then complete the remainder of itinerary.
(f) Where we are acting as a travel agent on behalf of another travel provider/operator, we act as agent only for such third parties and all bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant third party providers. We accept no liability under such terms and conditions or in respect of any act or omission of any third party provider. Your contract for travel services will be between you and the third party provider only.
(g) Unless otherwise specified in your travel proposal and confirmation invoice, where the booking is confirmed more than 8 weeks before the date of travel, a deposit of 10% of the total booking price will be payable to secure your booking with the balance of the booking price payable prior to the date of travel on the dates specified in your travel proposal and final invoice. Where the booking is confirmed within 8 weeks of the date of travel, payment of the total booking price will be due and payable within 7 days of the date of issue of the confirmation invoice.
(h) Unless otherwise specified the price of your booking as shown on your confirmation invoice is guaranteed until the end of that same business day and will not be subject to any changes (other than changes made in accordance with these Terms and Conditions). We will not be liable for any changes in currency exchange rates. Where any payment is not received by the due date for payment as specified in the confirmation invoice or any subsequent invoice, Almont reserves the right to cancel the booking with immediate effect and retain your deposit.
(i) On some occasions requested travel services are sold as a complete package as supplied by third parties. We do not create our own packages or tours. We do not offer pricing breakdowns for tour inclusions. Costs represent a complete package of arrangements and no itemisation of costs will be rendered.
(j) We will do our best to assist you if you wish to alter your travel arrangements subject to availability. If you wish to make changes to your booking, you (the person first named in the travel proposal) must submit your request in writing to writing by e-mail. Any changes to a confirmed booking will be subject to a fixed administration fee of £100. Where changes are made to your booking, you shall be liable to pay the administration fee plus any other applicable change fees immediately upon being invoiced by Almont. Please note scheduled airlines normally regard name changes as a cancellation and rebooking and any such alteration may incur a 100% cancellation charge in respect of the air fare.
(k) In certain circumstances, we may be required to make changes to your travel arrangements. We plan your travel arrangements in advance of your holiday using independent suppliers such as airlines, hotels, local transport operators and guides, over whom we have no direct control. We reserve the right to make minor changes to your travel arrangements without notifying you. However, where we have made a material change to your booking we will notify you as soon as reasonably practical. For the avoidance of doubt, a material change includes but is not limited to, a change of flight time by more than 12 hours, a change of international airport (except between airports serving the same city), a change of destination or a change to a lower standard accommodation or lower priced accommodation. Where a material change is necessary we will provide you with three alternatives to the original item which is subject to change. You may accept one of these alternative options, change your booking to another available holiday, or cancel the booking and receive a full refund of the price. If you choose an alternative holiday which exceeds the price paid for your holiday you must pay the difference. Where the alternative holiday is less than the price paid for your holiday, the Company will refund the difference in price.
(l) If the amendment results in the price of your holiday reducing by more than 10%, this will be deemed a part cancellation and cancelation charges will apply to the cancelled portion of the holiday in accordance with the Cancellations section below. Please note that some accommodation is priced according to the number of people in the booking. If you wish to change the size of your party, the per person cost of the holiday for other members may increase significantly and that some airline tickets (e.g. advance purchase and net fare tickets) cannot be changed once booked, without incurring considerable cost.
(m) If you alter your travel arrangements yourself or through another travel operator, Almont will not be liable for any additional costs you may incur including, but not limited to, costs of onward travel as a result of such alterations.
(n) All cancellations must be notified by you (the person first named in the travel proposal) to Almont as soon as possible in writing by e-mail. Cancellations will be effective on the day notice of cancellation is received by us.
(o) We strongly recommend that you take out adequate travel insurance to cover you against loss of your deposit and/or cancellation fees. Please note that in certain circumstances, airlines, hotels and other suppliers may have applied ticketing conditions under which higher cancellation charges to those shown above are chargeable. In such circumstances, you will be liable to pay the cancellation charge listed above together with any additional cancellation charges charged by suppliers.
(p) Any special requirements, allergies and dietary restrictions must be disclosed to the Travel Designer at the time of booking. Any special requests or requirements do not form part of these Terms or of the contract between you and Almont Travel, but are on an informative bases and we shall do our best to share this information with the suppliers of the services you are purchasing. Your Travel Designer is not liable for any failure for other parties to accommodate or fulfil such requests. It is the travellers responsibility to ensure they take appropriate precessions and advise directly and local any of the purchased suppliers of their special requirements.
(q) We reserve the right to cancel your booking in circumstances where we are forced to do so due to reasons beyond our control. In such circumstances, we will use our best endeavours to find and offer another booking for you at the same price. Where we are not able to offer you an alternative booking or you do not wish to accept the alternative booking altered, we will provide you with a full refund of all monies paid by you.
(r) We do our best to ensure that all prices shown on our travel proposals are correct and kept up to date. However, occasionally incorrect prices may be listed due to an error. In such cases we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable of the correct price. If you do not wish to accept the correct price notified to you, you will be given the choice of alternative travel arrangements at the original price or to cancel your trip and receive a full refund of all monies (excluding any non-refundable deposits) paid to that date.
(s) Many airlines require the full name of all passengers travelling. We will therefore ask you at the time of booking to provide us with the first forename (as shown in passport) as well as titles and surnames of all passengers. You are responsible for ensuring you have valid passport(s) with at least 6 months validity from the date of return of travel and with at least 3 blank consecutive pages to allow for visas, entry and departure stamps, etc.
(t) You are also responsible for ensuring you have valid visas, health documents, insurance, driving licences and any other entry or other travel requirements of the country you are travelling to. Almont cannot accept liability for any failure to obtain any such documents or meet any requirements of entry. We have no obligation to advise you of any requirements in any country. All travellers are expected to check all conditions and rules of travel as applicable for their own personal circumstances and situation. All advice about travelling abroad, including the latest information on any relevant pandemic restrictions are supplied on an information bases, and are done so to the best of Almont’s understanding and Almont cannot be held liable for any errors or omissions that may result in any interruption to the individuals travel. Ultimate responsibility is on the traveller to ensure they are fully aware of all restrictions and conditions relating to their travel, including but not exclusively pertaining to any pandemic, natural disaster, war and conflict, Visa and passport requirements.
(u) You are responsible for your arrival at the stated departure times and locations of travel and you will be liable for any loss or damage suffered as a result of any failure to do so.
(v) The Foreign & Commonwealth Advice Unit may issue information about your holiday destination. You are advised to check this information on the Internet under the address www.fco.gov.uk . Under EU Regulation 261/2004 you may have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of being denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be published at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. If any payments are due to you from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this amount.
(w) When you make a booking with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be made direct to the third party supplier who has suffered the damage or loss or to us as soon as possible. If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. You will also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. In addition, loss or damage to your own personal property is at your sole risk. You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect you.
(x) In the event of any delay to your flights, we will do our best to assist you in making alternative travel arrangements to get you to your destination. We use the scheduled services of the world's major international airlines. These are rarely subject to lengthy delays. In the unlikely event of a delay, arrangements for meals, overnight accommodation, etc. should be met by your airline. Conditions of carriage are available on request.
(y) We will book independent suppliers to provide most accommodation, travel, tour and other arrangements. All bookings are subject to the terms and conditions of these third party suppliers, including any limitations or exclusions of liability. Our liability will be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to (a) the contractual terms of the suppliers who provide any elements of your travel arrangements; and (b) where any relevant international travel conventions apply, including but limited to, the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation.
