Many countries require your passport to be valid for six months or more after your date of entry. Some countries will not admit persons convicted of a crime. Some countries require both parents’ consent for minors to travel.
6. TIMES, FLIGHTS, AND FARES Times, flights, and fares are based on current tariffs that are subject to change without notice.

Travel directly adhering to the cancellation policy provided to you at the time of booking. We are not responsible to pay you for any loss you incur due to your failure to travel or your failure to follow the change or cancel policies of any travel vendor. Should you re-schedule your trip, the client shall not incur any additional processing fees.

9.
