(Details can be found at http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_4965.html.) JEK Travels LLC respects the privacy of all clients, and feel it is an invasion of privacy for any member of our staff to make such an inquiry.

AIRLINE CONFIRMATION, CHECK-IN, SEAT ASSIGNMENTS, MISSED FLIGHTS:

JEK Travels LLC is not responsible for the services and policies imposed by the airlines. Airline schedules and flights are subject to change without notice.

JEK Travels LLC is not responsible for penalties incurred for tickets, international or domestic, not issued by JEK Travels LLC due to schedule and/or flight changes. Airline reservations completed online are subject to review and, should JEK Travels LLC deem it necessary, may be rebooked to match minimum connecting time requirements and/or tour package itineraries, in which case you will be notified immediately. Airlines reserve the right to demand immediate issuance of tickets whenever they determine that specific flights are heavily booked even when normal ticketing rules do not require tickets to be issued until a later date.

In this instance, JEK Travels LLC will require immediate and full payment of the airfare. This situation overrides invoice terms and conditions and payment due dates. If full payment is not received, seats will be cancelled by the airline and may not be available to be rebooked on the same flights or at the same airfare. Any replacement air arrangements and airfare will be the sole responsibility of the passenger.

JEK Travels LLC will do its best to use major carriers for their flights. There may be times when discount carriers are used.  Travelers will be notified beforehand if this is the case.

AIRLINE TICKET:

Once full payment is received, airline tickets will be issued and are fully non-refundable. Should airline tickets require issuance earlier than the final payment due date, client may be required to pay a larger non-refundable deposit and/or complete full payment.

It is important that you confirm your flights with the airline prior to departure: 24 hours in advance for domestic flights, and 72 hours in advance for international flights. Failure to confirm international flights or failure to use any portion of an airline reservation may result in automatic cancellation by the airline for all continuing and return flights.

Familiarize yourself with your airline’s policies and requirements before booking. Unless stated otherwise by the airlines, it is important to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours prior to departure for domestic flights and 3 hours prior to departure for international flights view travel documents for verification. Late arrival at the airport can result in loss of assigned seats or denial of boarding.

Denial of boarding is not eligible for refund or travel insurance reimbursement. Airfare rebooking is subject to airline penalties, rebooking fees, plus any cost difference of the new flight. Seat assignments are subject to change by the airline without notice.

SEATING ASSIGNMENT:

AIRLINE NAME CHANGE:

Any name change including minor spelling corrections may require airline reservations to be canceled and rebooked. Reservations are subject to current availability and pricing at the time of rebooking. Once airline tickets are issued, subsequent name corrections will be subject to an airline rebooking fee which may be as much as the full value of the airline ticket plus a $50 or more revision fee per change. JEK Travels LLC will not be held responsible for the denial of services by a carrier due to any name discrepancy.

AIRLINE FUEL SURCHARGE:

If you purchased airfare, airline taxes and fuel surcharges are included. Prior to completion of full payment there is a potential for a price increase due to increases in government-levied taxes and fees and/or fuel surcharges. To avoid potential increases, you may choose to accelerate your final payment in order that your tickets may be issued. Once issued, airline tickets are no longer subject to potential increases but are fully non-refundable. Certain overseas domestic flights are subject to air taxes which can only be paid locally; in these cases, the specific flights and amounts of those taxes are indicated in our package presentation and pre-departure documentation.

HOTEL / RESORT ACCOMMODATIONS:

All rooms requested are standard twin-bedded (two single beds) rooms with private facilities, unless you have specifically requested a king/double size bed. Please understand although we will make a bed type request on your behalf, bed types are subject to availability. Room selection in all cases is strictly at the discretion of the hotel's management on a run-of-house basis. Triple and quad occupancy rooms consist of two beds for cruises, where triple and quad rooms will consist a twin bed for each person. Some single rooms are smaller than a standard room size. The number of persons accommodated does not dictate the room size. In the event you have a roommate and they cancel for any reason or plans change, you will be responsible for any additional charges that may come up as a result of  moving to a single occupancy room. Although available at most 4 and 5 star hotels, use of air-conditioning abroad differs greatly from the United States. Many European hotels were built before central air-conditioning was introduced. Air-conditioning is often shut down at night and from the end until the start of the summer months. All hotel rates are based on JEK Travels LLC agreements with its suppliers and are not negotiable. Hotel check-in time is generally not before 3:00 p.m. and check-out time is prior to noon. Please be sure that adequate arrangements for accommodations have been taken into consideration when a late-night flight is being used. If a day room is included in the itinerary, check-out will normally be 6:00 p.m. We reserve the right to make substitutions with hotels of equal standard. There will be no refunds for any difference in the cost of those accommodations.

Your arrival transfer is guaranteed for up to one hour from your scheduled arrival time in order to compensate for minor delays.

JEK Travels LLC  or the transfer company will not be responsible for flight delays, for any reason, beyond one hour from your originally scheduled arrival time. In case of a delay, whether due to flight delay, immigration and customs, or time spent reporting baggage damage or loss, it will be your responsibility to make other transfer arrangements such as a taxi. Transfer costs are not refundable and any additional expenses will be your responsibility.

The cost of a transfer is more expensive than hiring a taxi, as a JEK Travels LLC transfer necessarily includes round trip service.

JEK Travels LLC transfer drivers, while not employees of JEK Travels LLC, are reliable. They provide you with a full welcome service, transfer you to the correct location and are prepared to answer your questions along your ride.

It is your responsibility to arrive on time for all scheduled flights, cruises, and package components. Arriving late may be considered a "no-show", in which case you will not be eligible for refund for the unused service(s). We cannot guarantee the number of passengers who will be on any given tour. You may find that you are traveling with a sizeable group or only with your own companions. Services, however, will remain constant no matter the number of tour participants.

Persons requiring any assistance or who have any form of disability should travel with someone to assist them. On dates including, but not limited to religious holidays and national celebrations, some monuments and sites may be closed. On these occasions, touring itineraries may be amended to reflect these closures. Occasionally, during holidays and certain periods, and/or due to unforeseen circumstances including weather conditions there may be last-minute changes, sometimes after arrival, in affecting the sequence of the tour, locations visited and/or hotels. Therefore, we reserve the right to adjust the sequence and/or substitute any hotels with others of similar category. In such cases there will be no cost adjustment.
