BARBADOS

Barbados exudes warmth, colour, vibrancy and a rich cultural heritage with a contrasting divide. On the south and east coasts expect dramatic cliffs, crashing waves and stunning unspoilt ocean views. To the north and west, a distinctly more tranquil feel pervades, with balmy crystal waters, immaculate beaches, world-renowned hotels and exquisite restaurants. There is a noticeable homage to the days of the British Commonwealth, both architecturally and in the time honoured customary traditions, such as afternoon tea, cricket, polo matches and horse racing at the Garrison Savannah. Enjoy the wonder of the diverse and beautiful seascape: turtles bob along the waves and schools of rainbow-coloured fish playfully flit in the lagoon. On land, green monkeys thrive in the Wildlife Reserve and botanical gardens offer sensuous tropical sights, sounds and smells. Absorb the grace and elegance of historic plantation houses, play golf on championship courses, try horse riding, deep sea fishing or board the Atlantis submarine. Dine on the freshest, most delicate local seafood washed down with a locally brewed beer or Mount Gay rum cocktails.

Spoilt for choiceBarbados really does have something for everyone.

With great nightlife, beaches, watersports, restaurants, sightseeing and golf courses, the island is

a perfect ‘all-round’ destination.

With a beach for every day of the year, Antigua is a sunny white sand island with picture-perfect seascapes and a tranquil refined style. The links to British colonial history are apparent here, from Nelson’s Dockyard with its impressive sailing ships, to handsome plantation houses, sugar mills and quaint churches. Centrally located within the Caribbean, this island offers an array of activities that allow you to explore the wondrous landscape. Watersports abound, from catamaran and sailing trips to the rich yachting scene, ship wrecks for keen scuba divers and fantastic snorkelling opportunities. On land, visit the rainforest, embark on the scenic Fig Tree Drive or take a kayaking trip through the magical mangroves. The varied local cuisine is well worth sampling: mouth-watering Creole seafood; fungi and pepperpot, a delicious stew; and the freshest indigenous fruits including mangoes, papayas and pineapples. From the weekly Sunday barbecue party at Shirley Heights to the flamboyant carnivals of July and August, Antigua is vibrant, buzzing and a delight to all the senses.

Sail awayIn Antigua, it is all about the sailing. Admiral Horatio Nelson

ventured here in 1784 and the sailing legacy continues to this day. Be part of world-famous yacht regattas, charter yacht

shows and Antigua Sailing Week.

Britain’s oldest colony, Bermuda, is a quaint and attractive island with pastel hued buildings and a quieter, more traditional, vibe. Benefitting from a year round semi-tropical climate, it is situated 600 miles from the east coast of America in the Atlantic Ocean and 800 miles north of the Caribbean Sea. St George, the original capital of Bermuda, is a declared World Heritage site and it is clear to see why. Beautifully preserved colonial architecture, charming cottages and manicured gardens lend a sophisticated feel and make for picture-perfect settings. Bermuda has distinctive pink sand beaches and the surrounding sea is perfect for diving trips, game fishing and boat charters. Explore the deserted railway track by bicycle, swim with dolphins, visit the superb aquarium or play on one of eight championship golf courses. The locals here are friendly and hospitable, happy to educate you about their culture and keen for you to experience their cuisine, from delicious fish chowder and salt cod to the legendary Dark and Stormy rum cocktail at sundown.

Take your passGetting around Bermuda is just as exciting as enjoying

the island’s many activities. Take advantage of the Island Transportation Pass, hopping on and off the local ferries and buses to explore whichever sights take your fancy.

ACCOMMODATION CATEGORIESThe accommodation featured throughout our brochures carries no official hotel ratings and the room category terminology is that set by the hotel. Generally, the room categories and prices are determined by location within the resort/hotel e.g. proximity to the beach or pool.

It is important to note that facilities vary quite significantly and due to the nature of the property may omit certain amenities such as televisions and air conditioning to retain the resorts authenticity or ambience. If a particular amenity is essential to your requirements, please check that this is available at the time of booking.

FLIGHT TIMESThe scheduled flight times detailed on your Confirmation Invoice are provisional and subject to change. Final timings will be advised to you on your travel documentation shortly before the departure date.

LUGGAGE ALLOWANCELuggage allowances and permitted items vary from airline to airline and we recommend that you check the luggage policy of the airline(s) with which you are flying or ask us for further details. Many US Domestic Airlines charge for checked luggage.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTATIONYour travel documentation will be posted to your travel agent first class approximately 21–14 days prior to departure. Please check the documentation carefully and inform your travel agent of any errors or omissions as soon as possible.

PASSPORT AND VISA REQUIREMENTSIt is solely your responsibility to obtain any passports, visas, health certificates, international driving licences, entry requirements and other travel documents required for your holiday. Please note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability if you cannot travel, or incur any other loss because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements or any health formalities. See our Terms & Conditions for more information.A valid ten-year British Passport, with a minimum validity of at least six months on the arrival date back in the UK, is required for all holidays featured in our brochures. Should your passport be in the final year of validity we advise you to thoroughly check the requirements of the country you intend to visit prior to finalising your travel plans. For further detailed information please visit the Identity and Passport Service website www.ips.gov.uk. Non British Citizens must check their passport and visa requirements prior to booking with the Embassy or Consulate of the country they intend to visit.

ADVANCE PASSENGER INFORMATION SYSTEM (APIS)Due to new security measures introduced by the airlines, it is now essential that all persons travelling provide us with full and accurate passport information (Advance Passenger Information) before they travel. We are required to provide details of your destination accommodation, country of residence, name on your passport, passport number and date of birth to your airline. At the time of booking it is imperative that this information is provided to us accurately as it appears on your passport. Failure to do so could result in the airline

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

143E S S E N T I A L I N F O R M AT I O N

refusing to allow you to board the aircraft or the country of destination refusing you entry. Please also be aware that airlines are unlikely to allow a subsequent name change after booking without financial penalty for which we cannot be held liable.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THOSE TRAVELLING TO OR IN TRANSIT VIA THE US.VISA WAIVER PROGRAMME (VWP)UK passport holders may be eligible to travel to the United States (US) visa free under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) if they are travelling for business, pleasure or are in transit. They must be travelling on a valid, machine readable passport (MRP) or ePassport with an electronic chip. If you have either type of passport then you may qualify for up to 90 days travel without a visa under the VWP as long as you, or any of your party, have no serious communicable diseases, or have ever been arrested (even if not convicted). Please visit www.usaembassy.org.uk for further details of all restrictions. If you are unsure whether you qualify for travel under the VWP please consult the Identity & Passport Service or US Embassy.

ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR TRAVEL AUTHORISATION (ESTA)The US has a mandatory requirement for all those travelling (including infants) under the Visa Waiver Programme to provide details online at least 72 hours prior to travel. If you do not have an ESTA you will be refused travel to the US. For more information, and to apply online, please visit the ESTA website at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov. It is extremely important that the information you provide is accurate and matches the APIS information you provided to us as any differences could delay or prevent your entry to the country.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTSWe strongly recommend that you contact your GP or other medical professional for advice concerning the country you are visiting as early as possible, as health requirements such as required vaccinations can and do change. If you have a medical condition or are taking any medication then you should get clearance from your doctor prior to travel. Further sources of information can also be found by visiting www.nathnac.org/travel, www.masta-travel-health.com or www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk.

TRAVEL ADVICEThe Foreign & Commonwealth Office recommend that all British Travellers refer to their ‘Know Before You Go’ section on their website for the latest and up-to-date travel advice for your destination prior to departure. Please refer to www.fco.gov.uk or call 0845 850 2829. You can also call ABTA’s Consumer Information Line on 0203 117 0599 (UK calls only).

HEALTH AND SAFET Y Applicable safety standards throughout our featured destinations are those of the country concerned and may not be the same standard as those expected within the UK. Please be aware that in some cases it can be lower. We therefore strongly advise you to

exercise increased levels of care and diligence when abroad. We urge you to familiarise yourself with your surroundings, paying particular attention to fire procedures, fire exits and pool areas. The depth and design of hotel pools vary and it may be the case that some hotels do not have poolside lifeguards present. Please take care in these situations, having first familiarised yourself with the depth of the pool and means of exit. This is especially important for any children you may have with you and you should ensure that they are supervised at all times. Unfortunately, it is the case that crime occurs the world over and it is important that you take the same responsibility for your personal safety and possessions as you would at home. To reduce the chances of anything unpleasant happening, we recommend that you take appropriate precautions such as avoiding poorly lit areas at night, if you are unsure where you are going ask your local representative or hotel reception for directions and advice on the local area, lock windows and doors, avoid carrying too much cash and use the in-room safe (where applicable) for passports and expensive items. We enclose with our travel documentation ABTA’s Guide ‘How to have a safe and healthy holiday’ and we recommend that you read this as it contains important travel advice.

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUTCheck-in and check-out times vary from hotel to hotel but it is generally the case that rooms are available from 2pm onwards on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 11am on the day of departure. Should you require specific timings please ask us for further details.

DRESS CODEDress codes vary between hotels and destinations. For example certain restaurants in Bermuda require more conservative attire and gentleman are required to wear a jacket and tie. In addition, clothing with a camouflage print is banned throughout much of the Caribbean. Please contact your travel agent or Lusso should you require further information with regard to dress code.

BUILDING WORKSWe aim to ensure that your arrangements will not be affected by substantial refurbishment or located in an area of significant building works. However, in certain developing areas building works are almost unavoidable and can begin without prior notice. Should we become aware of works that may adversely affect your holiday we will notify you and your travel agent as soon as possible.

DRINKING WATERYou will find that, regardless of the standard of the hotel, the quality of the water differs from that in the UK. Some people may experience upset stomachs from even high quality water. We advise that you drink bottled water. Please contact a medical professional if you require any further advice.

UTILITIESSupplies of water and power in most of the destinations we feature are more than adequate. While it is uncommon, in some of the less developed or more remote destinations you may experience power and/or water restrictions. Please be patient while the hotel rectifies the problem.

CAR HIREIf hiring a car please be aware that driving standards may not match those that you are used to in the UK and we strongly advise extra care is taken while driving abroad. Please ensure that you choose a reputable provider that offers breakdown and emergency assistance.

SPECIAL REQUESTSWe take pride in being able to assist our clients wherever possible with any special requests you may have. However, these must be advised to us in writing at the time of booking. While every effort will be made by us to try and arrange your special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled (please see our Terms & Conditions for more details).

DATA PROTECTIONTo comply with the Data Protection Act we would like to advise you that we have taken appropriate measures to protect the personal information held by us. We must advise you that for us to provide you with the products or services you require, it will be necessary to provide the personal information you supply to us to relevant organisations and may involve sending your details to countries that do not have an equal level of data protection legislation to that of the UK.

We may also from time to time contact you with information about special offers, brochures, new products, forthcoming events or competitions.

Full details of our Privacy Policy are available on request.

Upon receipt, if you believe that any details on the confirmation, ATOL certificate (if applicable) or any other document are wrong you must advise us immediately as changes may not be able to be made later. The balance of the cost of your arrangements is due not less than 8 weeks prior to the start of your arrangements. If we do not receive this balance in full and on time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you in which case the cancellation charges set out in clause 8 below will become payable. Any money paid to an authorised agent of ours in respect of a booking covered by our ATOL is held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times, but subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail financially.

we will be able to meet your requested change. Any alterations are only possible if permitted by our suppliers. Where we can meet a request, all changes will be subject to any applicable rate changes or extra costs incurred as well as any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers. We will charge an administrative charge of £25 per amendment. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible.

In these circumstances the applicable cancellation charge will be advised to you at the time of booking.9. Changes to a Confirmed Booking after Commencement of TravelIf you are forced to return home early, we cannot refund the cost of any services you have not used. If you cut short your holiday and return home early in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of accommodation and services provided we will not offer you any refund for that part of your holiday not completed, or be liable for any associated costs you may incur. If you decide to alter your travel arrangements whilst abroad this is your own responsibility and we will not be responsible for any extras or difficulties that may arise with onward travel as a result of such alterations. Depending on the circumstances, your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.10. If We Change or Cancel Your HolidayIt 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 we

145T E R M S & C O N D I T I O N S

reserve 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. We also reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your travel arrangements. However, we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 8 weeks before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure (see Clause 11) or failure by you to make full payment on time.Examples of major changes include the following when made before departure; a change of accommodation area for the whole or a significant part of your time away, a change of accommodation to that of a lower standard or classification for the whole or a significant part of your time away, a change of outward departure time or overall length of your holiday of more than twelve hours, the closure of the only or all advertised swimming pool(s) at your accommodation for a significant proportion of your holiday. Examples of minor changes include the following when made before departure: any change in the advertised identity of the carrier(s), flight timings, and/or aircraft type; a change of outward departure time or overall length of your holiday of twelve hours or less, or a change of accommodation to another of the same standard or classification.If we have to make a major change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of i) (for major changes) accepting the changed arrangements ii) having a refund of all monies paid or iii) accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value). You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our offer. If you fail to do so we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking arrangements.If we make a major change or cancel less than 14 days before departure, we will also pay you compensation of £20 per person for each affected day. The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so. We will not pay you compensation where we make a major change or cancel more than 14 days before departure or in the event that we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care.The above sets out the maximum extent of our liability for changes and cancellations and we regret we cannot meet any expenses or losses you may incur as a result of change or cancellation. Please note: where accommodation with a higher price than the original accommodation is offered by us and accepted by you, the difference in price will be deducted from any compensation payable. In no case will we pay compensation if accommodation is offered by us and accepted by you with a higher price than that originally booked in the same location where no additional payment is made by you. Compensation will not be paid in respect of children staying at hotels for free and, where payable, will be paid on a pro-rata basis of the adult rate where children have received a reduced rate.We will not pay you compensation and the above options will not be available if we make a minor change or cancel as a result of your failure to make full payment on time or where the change(s) or cancellation by us arises out of alterations to the confirmed booking requested by you.Very rarely, we may be forced by “force majeure” (see Clause 11) to change or terminate your arrangements after departure. If this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our suppliers), pay you compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of the services that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge and, if appropriate in all the circumstances, will pay you reasonable compensation.11. Force MajeureNote on Force Majeure: Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations (or prompt performance of our contractual obligations) to you are affected by any event which we or the supplier(s) of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. These events can include, but are not limited to, war, threat of war, civil strife, terrorist activity and its consequences or the threat of such activity, riot, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster and adverse weather, sea, ice and river conditions and all similar events outside our or the supplier(s) concerned’s control. Advice from the Foreign Office to avoid

or leave a particular country may constitute Force Majeure. We will follow the advice given by the Foreign Office.12. Our Responsibilities and Liability to you(1) Except where we act as an agent in respect of the sales of flights where the place of flight departure and arrival is within the UK (see Sub-Clause (9) below), we will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an “organiser” under The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 as set out below. Subject to these booking conditions, if we or our suppliers negligently perform or arrange the services which we are obliged to provide for you under our contract with you, as set out on your confirmation invoice, we will pay you reasonable compensation. The level of such compensation will be calculated taking into consideration all relevant factors such as but not limited to: following the complaints procedure as described in these conditions and the extent to which ours or our employees’ or suppliers’ negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your holiday. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or our supplier(s) have been negligent if you wish to make a claim against us.(2) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any description which results from: -(a) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected;(b) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of the services contracted for and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable; or(c) unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or(d) an event which either ourselves, our employees, agents or suppliers and subcontractors could not, even with all due care, have foreseen or forestalled.(3) The services and facilities included in your holiday will be deemed to be provided with reasonable skill and care if they comply with any local regulations, which apply, or, if there are no applicable local regulations, if they are reasonable when compared to the local standards in practice. The fact that services or facilities fail to comply with local or UK guidance or advice shall not of itself mean that the services or facilities in question have not been provided with reasonable skill and care.(4) We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay you if we are found liable under this clause:(a) loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions and money. The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is £25 per person in total because you are assumed to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind.(b) Claims not falling under (a) above or involving injury, illness or death. The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is twice the price paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you or your party has not received any benefit at all from your booking.(c) Claims in respect of international travel by air, sea and rail, or any stay in a hotel.i) The extent of our liability will in all cases be limited as if we were carriers under the appropriate Conventions, which include The Warsaw/Montreal Convention (international travel by air); The Athens Convention (with respect to sea travel); The Berne/Cotif Convention (with respect to rail travel) and The Paris Convention (with respect to hotel arrangements). You can ask for copies of these Conventions from our offices. In addition, you agree that the operating carrier or transport company’s own ‘Conditions of Carriage’ will apply to you on that journey. When arranging transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions and those ‘Conditions of Carriage’. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ form part of your contract with us, as well as with the transport company and that those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ shall be deemed to be included by reference into this contract.ii) In any circumstances in which a carrier is liable to you by virtue of the Denied Boarding Regulation 2004, any liability we may have to you under our contract with you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we were a carrier.iii) When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question.(5) It is a condition of our acceptance of liability under this clause that you notify any claim to ourselves and our supplier(s) strictly

in accordance with the complaints procedure set out in these conditions.(6) Where any payment is made, the person(s) receiving it (and their parent or guardian if under 18 years) must also assign to ourselves or our insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third party and must provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require.(7) Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you; or (b) any business losses.(8) We will not accept responsibility for services or facilities which do not form part of our agreement or where they are not advertised in our brochure. For example any excursion you book whilst away, or any service or facility which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you.(9) In respect of the sales of flights where the place of flight departure and arrival is within the UK, we act as agent. We accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into or for the acts or omissions of any supplier(s) or other person(s) or party(ies) connected with any such booking. For all such flights, your contract will be with the supplier of the flights in question. When making your booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the applicable flight supplier(s) and your booking with us is subject to the specific booking conditions of the relevant flight supplier(s) you contract with. The supplier’s terms and conditions may limit and/or exclude the supplier’s liability to you. Copies of applicable conditions are available on request from us.13. Your ResponsibilitiesAny passports, visas, health certificates, International Driving Licences, entry requirements and other travel documents required for your holiday must be obtained by you, whose responsibility it remains to ensure that these are all in order and to meet any additional costs incurred (whether by you or by us on your behalf) as a result of failure to comply with such requirements. You are responsible to arrive at stated departure times and places and any loss or damage which you suffer through failure to do so lies with you. We have no liability whatsoever to you through your failure to do so. The Foreign & Commonwealth Advice Unit may have issued information about your holiday destination. You are advised to check this information on the Internet under the address http://www.fco.gov.ukAll guests staying with us are expected to conduct themselves in an orderly and acceptable manner and not to disrupt the enjoyment of other guests. If in our opinion or in the opinion of any hotel manager or any other person in authority, your behaviour or that of any member of your party is causing or is likely to cause distress, danger or annoyance to any of the other guests or any third party or damage to property, or to cause a delay or diversion to transportation, we reserve the right to terminate your booking arrangements with us immediately. In the event of such termination our liability to you and/ or your party will cease and you and/or your party will be required to leave your accommodation or other service immediately. We will have no further obligations to you and/or your party. No refunds for lost accommodation or any other service will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of termination. You and/or your party may also be required to pay for loss and/or damage caused by your actions and we will hold you and each member of your party jointly and individually liable for any damage or losses caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or losses must be paid directly to the hotel manager or other supplier prior to departure from the hotel. If you fail to make payment, you will be responsible for meeting any claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against us as a result of your actions together with all costs we incur in pursuing any claim against you. We cannot be held responsible for the actions or behaviour of any other guests or individuals who have no connection with your booking arrangements with us.14. Conditions of SuppliersMany of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers. Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions which will form part of your contract with us. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions. Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from ourselves or the supplier concerned. We, or the suppliers of the services you have bought, will provide you with the services you have bought (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to

you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).15. Flights, Delays and Denied BoardingThe following clause applies to arrangements booked with us that are inclusive of flights.Please note the existence of a “Community list” (available for inspection at http://europa.eu.int/comm/transport/air/safety/flywell_en.htm) detailing air carriers that are subject to an operating ban with the EU Community. The carrier(s), flight timings and types of aircraft shown in this brochure and detailed on your confirmation invoice are for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation. In accordance with EU Regulation 2111/2005 we are required to advise you of the actual carrier operating your flight/connecting flight/transfer. We do this by detailing carriers to be used or likely to be used on our website’s Airline Information Pages and we shall inform you of the identity of the actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of it. The latest flight timings will be shown on your tickets which will be despatched to you approximately two weeks before departure. You should check your tickets very carefully immediately on receipt to ensure you have the correct flight times. If flight times change after tickets have been dispatched we will contact you as soon as we can to let you know and in all cases at check-in or the boarding gate. Such a change is deemed to be a minor change in accordance with Clause 9.We use the scheduled services of the worlds international airlines and whilst these airlines are rarely subject to lengthy delays there are occasions where airlines are subject to operational delays, change of aircraft and routing, over which we have no control. Where this does occur it is the responsibility of the airline or transport provider concerned to provide refreshments and/ or appropriate accommodation. We cannot accept liability for any delay which is due to any of the reasons set out in Clause 13 of these booking conditions (which includes the behaviour of any passenger(s) on any flight who, for example, fails to check -in or board on time).Under EU Law, you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from the airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. Reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday price from us. If the airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Aviation Consumer Advocacy Panel which is part of the Civil Aviation Authority www.caa.co.uk. This brochure is our responsibility, as your tour operator. It is not issued on behalf of, and does not commit the airlines mentioned herein or any airline whose services are used in the course of your travel arrangements. Please note that in accordance with Air Navigation Orders in order to qualify for infant status, a child must be under 2 years of age on the date of its return flight.16. Special Requests, Disabilities and Medical ProblemsAny special requests must be advised to us at the time of booking e.g. diet, room location, a particular facility at a hotel etc. You should then confirm your requests in writing. Whilst every effort will be made by us to try and arrange your reasonable special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically confirmed. We are not a specialist disabled holiday company, but we will do our utmost to cater for any special requirements you may have. If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your stay, please provide us with full details before we confirm your booking so that we can try to advise you as to the suitability of your chosen arrangements. Acting reasonably, if we are unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm your booking or if you did not give us full details at the time of booking, we will cancel it and impose applicable cancellation charges when we become aware of these details. If you develop a serious medical problem after making a booking or a medical problem worsens, we reserve the right to reasonably refuse or cancel your booking, if in the unfortunate event that we cannot accommodate the booking/reservation. In these circumstances we will endeavour to limit any cancellation charges applicable.

17. ComplaintsWe make every effort to ensure that your holiday arrangements run smoothly but if you do have a problem during your holiday, please inform the relevant supplier (e.g. your hotelier) and our local representative (where applicable) immediately who will endeavour to put things right. Please note that failure to follow this procedure may affect your rights under this contract and reduce or extinguish any claim against us or our suppliers as we have been denied the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem and/or take steps to reduce or entirely prevent any loss or damage being suffered. If your complaint or problem is not resolved locally, please contact us by email, by telephoning our UK Office on +44 1625 591111, or our 24 Hour Emergency Telephone Number as detailed on your Itinerary. If the problem cannot be resolved and you wish to complain further, please send formal written notice of your complaint to us at Client Services, Lusso Travel Ltd, 17 London Road, Alderley Edge, Cheshire, SK9 7JT within 28 days of the end of your stay, giving your booking reference and all other relevant supporting information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point. This will assist us to quickly identify your concerns and speed up our response to you.18. ABTAWe are a member of ABTA, membership number Y2136. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you an arbitration scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract. The arbitration scheme is arranged by ABTA and administered independently. It is a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on you in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking form. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. The application for arbitration and Statement of Claim must be received by ABTA within eighteen months of the date of return from the holiday. For injury and illness claims, you may like to use the ABTA Mediation Procedure. This is a voluntary scheme and requires us to agree for mediation to go ahead. Further information on the Code and ABTA’ s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.19. Brochure Accuracy & PricingThe information contained within this brochure and on our website is for guidance purposes only. It is prepared many months in advance and we endeavour to ensure that all the information and prices in our brochures/website are accurate at the time of publication. However, occasionally changes and errors occur and we reserve the right to correct prices and other details in such circumstances. Descriptions of accommodation, facilities and services are obtained from our suppliers in advance of publication and it is possible that an advertised facility may be withdrawn or changed for reasons such as lack of demand, bad weather, maintenance or renovation. You must check the current price and all other details relating to the arrangements that you wish to book before your booking is confirmed. Please note prices in this brochure / website do not include charges for payment by Credit/Debit Card.Due to ongoing renovations some hotels or their surroundings may have changed, sometimes quite dramatically since the latest update of this brochure or our website. In the majority of cases the images featured are those provided by the relevant suppliers. Please note that the imagery provided is purely for your guidance and need not necessarily provide a current representation of the hotel and its surroundings as further developments may have taken place since these images were taken.20. InsuranceIt is a requirement of booking that adequate travel insurance cover is obtained prior to booking. Please ensure that any policy obtained provides adequate cover for cancellation, missed departure and unused accommodation. You must also ensure that any activities considered hazardous (scuba diving, etc) and travel in light or single-engine aircraft are covered by your policy where you intend to take part in such activities. We advise you to read the details of your policy carefully and take them with you on your holiday. Please note that the majority of insurance policies will exclude any undisclosed pre-existing conditions, medical or otherwise, and we advise you where you have any doubt check with your insurer prior to booking. We do not sell travel insurance, but on request we would be happy to provide contact details of an insurer who may be able to assist you.21. Jurisdiction and Applicable LawThese Booking Conditions and any agreement to which they

apply are governed in all respects by English law. We both agree that any dispute, claim or other matter which arises between us out of or in connection with your contract or booking will be dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales only (if not referred to Arbitration under Clause 18). You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you live in those places and if you wish to do so. If any part of this contract is found by a competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable then that provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this contract and it shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this contract. No term of this contract is enforceable pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person who is not a party to it.22. Subsequent Versions of these ConditionsThese booking conditions are accurate at the time this brochure was printed. We may alter these terms and conditions at any time. If we do so, all subsequent bookings will be governed by the newer version. You must check our website for the applicable up to date version of these terms and conditions.
