AIRFARE:

a. General Conditions Governing Air Transport

Airline tickets are highly restrictive, non-refundable, and non-transferable. Modification of passenger names, dates, times, routings, or departure/arrival airports is at the sole discretion of the airline and, if permitted, will likely be subject to a substantial change fee.  Passenger is responsible for any such fees.  With regard to the purchase of air tickets, ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS acts simply as an intermediary between you and the airline.  Once you book a reservation, your credit card or debit card will be charged for the amount shown - regardless of whether or not the reservation is used. Credit will not be given for any unused airline tickets and cannot be used toward any future bookings.

All tickets will be issued for economy class unless otherwise specified.  All travel will be round-trip unless otherwise specified.  Seat assignments are subject to the airlines policies and may not be able to be made until you are at the airport on the day of departure.  Airline tickets booked through ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS may not eligible to earn frequent flyer miles. You agree to confirm all bookings with the airline prior to the stated date of departure (ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS recommends confirming 72 hours prior).

Direct flights may be "non-stop" or may involve one or more stop-overs (in the latter case this means the same flight by the airline, because the flight number remains the same).  The same applies to connecting flights that may be subject to crew changes.  When you reserve a scheduled or charter flight involving a stop-over in a town, and the second flight takes off from a different airport to the airport of arrival, ensure that you have sufficient time for reaching the second airport.  The journey to the other airport is at your own expense.  ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS will not be able to reimburse you for these costs, nor will it be liable if you miss the second flight.

ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS  responsibilities in respect to air travel are limited by the relevant airline's conditions of carriage.  The airline fulfilling your contract for carriage may change from the airline mentioned by ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS , ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS is not able to specify the type of aircraft to be used by any airline.  If an airline cancels or delays a flight, you must work directly with the airline to ensure you arrive at your destination on or ahead of time. ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS will not provide any refund for Trips missed, in part or full.

b.  Prohibited Practices

You agree that you will not deviate from your booking by making any unscheduled stopovers.  Tickets may not be purchased and used at fare(s) from an initial departure point on the ticket which is before the your actual point of origin of travel, or to a more distant point(s) than your actual destination being traveled even when the purchase and use of such tickets would produce a lower fare. This practice is known as "Hidden City Ticketing" or "Point Beyond Ticketing" and is prohibited.  The purchase and use of round-trip tickets for the purpose of one-way travel only, known as "Throwaway Ticketing" is prohibited.  The use two or more different tickets issued at round trip fares for the purpose of circumventing applicable rules (such as advance purchase/minimum stay requirements) commonly referred to as "Back-to-Back Ticketing" is prohibited.

Where a ticket is purchased and used in violation of these rules, ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS and the applicable air carrier have the right in their sole discretion to take all actions permitted by law, including but not limited to, the following:
1) Invalidate the ticket(s);
2) Cancel any remaining portion of your itinerary;
3) Confiscate any unused Flight Coupons;
4) Refuse to board you and to carry the your baggage;
5) Assess you for the actual value of the Ticket which shall be the difference between the lowest fare applicable to your actual itinerary and the fare actually paid;
6) Delete miles in your frequent flyer account and/or terminate your participation in the frequent flyer program;
7) Take legal action against you.

c. Loss of air tickets

You agree to safeguard your tickets and bear any and all costs related to loss of theft.  If you lose your air ticket or if your ticket is stolen, ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS advises that you immediately report it to the police and to the airline.

d. Luggage

Each airline has its own policy regarding luggage.  We recommend that you check with your airline ahead of time for any weight restrictions and additional charges relating to checked baggage. You will be responsible for paying to the airline any additional charges for checked or overweight baggage, including, but not limited to, golf bags and oversized luggage.  If you exceed the weight limit set by your airline, and excess weight is permitted, you must pay a supplement directly to the airline at the airport.

The airline is liable to you for the baggage you entrust to it only for the compensation contemplated in the international conventions and relevant statutes.  In the event of damage, late forwarding, theft or loss of luggage, you should contact the your airline and declare the damage, absence or loss of your personal effects before leaving the airport, and then submit a declaration, attaching the originals of the following documents: the travel ticket, the baggage check-in slip, and the declaration.  ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS strongly recommends that you obtain an insurance policy covering the value of your items.

e. Limitation of Liability for Air Transport

IN ADDITION TO THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH ABOVE, YOU AGREE THAT ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS IS NOT LIABLE  FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY AIRLINE TIMETABLE CHANGES, DELAYS, CANCELLATIONS, MISSED CONNECTIONS, MECHANICAL PROBLEMS, INCLEMENT WEATHER, SEATING REASSIGNMENTS, LOST/DELAYED BAGGAGE, SCREENING AND SECURITY DELAYS, REFUSED BOARDING OR FAILURE TO CHECK-IN PROPERLY.

b. Taking possession of and vacating your room

e. Activities offered during your stay

An activity may not be appropriate for all ages or for individuals with certain medical conditions. ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS may not be held liable in the event of an incident or accident which is due to a lack of vigilance on your part.

It may happen that certain activities referred to in the Trip description are no longer provided by our local provider for climatic reasons, in the event of force majeure, during a stay out of the tourist season, or when the minimum number of participants required for providing a given activity is not reached (examples:  group sports, children's clubs). In the early or late season some activities may not be available, some of the facilities (restaurant, swimming pool, etc.) may be closed, or maintenance work may be in progress.  As a general rule, entertainment and sports activities may vary in frequency depending on how many people are staying at the time and on climatic conditions.  Particularly during the high season it is possible that the number of parasols, loungers, sports equipment, etc., are insufficient for the demand.  The opening hours of bars, restaurants, and clubs, etc., may be irregular and dependent on the management of the establishment in question.  You agree that ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS is not liable for activities unavailable due to any of the reasons listed above.

The sports activities offered for collective participation are often organized by outside providers.  Any travel costs related to such activities are at the customer's expense.  Similarly these activities may be withdrawn at the discretion of the organizer if there is insufficient demand.  This will not give rise to any entitlement to compensation.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE USE OR ENJOYMENT OF AN ACTIVITY MAY BE HAZARDOUS AND INHERENTLY RISKY, AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ROYAL LINE HOLIDAYS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH; LOST, STOLEN, DAMAGED OR DESTROYED PROPERTY; OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE AND OPERATION OF THE ACTIVITY, AND ALL ACTIONS OR EVENTS OCCURRING PRIOR TO, DURING, AT OR AFTER, THE ACTIVITY.

Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms.

Some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" signals to sites with which the browser communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether users are even aware of them. Participants in the leading Internet standards-setting organization that is addressing this issue are in the process of determining what, if anything, sites should do when they receive such signals. We currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess our sites' responses to these signals and make appropriate updates to this Cookie Statement.
