Chapter 1: Booking of Flight tickets, re-booking of Flight tickets, Cancellation & Refunds

 

  • Currently, we do not have the facility to book air tickets online on our website. Hence, to book an air ticket you will have to send your government ID for Domestic ticket issuance and a copy of your passport for International ticket issuance.

 

  • Airfares are dynamic in nature. So the company cannot state the price beforehand unless tickets are booked. Any hike in ticket prices will have to be paid by the customer.

 

  • We act as an agent between the airline company and customer and only once the full amount is paid we will email you your tickets. Airlines have their terms and conditions. If you wish to cancel your ticket, cancellation charges will be levied.

 

  • It is the customer’s responsibility to understand the rules of ticketing like rebooking policy and cancellation charges to avoid any future discrepancy.

 

  • It is the responsibility of the passenger to check the name on the booking. If there is any discrepancy in the name, you can contact the company regarding this via email. Although some airlines will make minor name changes, some airlines won’t do so. In this case, we will have to cancel the ticket and rebook it with the correct name. The company will not bear any kind of cancellation charges.

 

  • Ticket bookings are made as per the terms and conditions laid down by the Airline company and Fly for Holidays is not responsible for any canceled/delay in flights from the airlines end. If the airline cancels a ticket/flight, the company is not notified about this as we do not get any intimation directly from the airlines. If this happens, you need to contact the company at the earliest. You also need to keep checking about your flight for details on the website in case it may get canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.

 

  • Airline companies may alter their flight plan due to economic or weather conditions which may impact the planned itinerary. The company thus has a right to change its schedule which in turn causes changes in the tour program. In case of such changes, the company will not bear any charges and no refund can be claimed.

 

  • Apart from air tickets and valid visa, there are several other factors like denial by the airlines to board the flight due to certain reasons, denial by the Embassy or immigration bureau due to reasons which may restrict your travel. The refund will be applicable as per the ticket fare rules.

 

  • If you need to rebook a flight, you need to do it online and there will be charges. It depends on the airline you’re booking. Domestic flights have a cheaper penalty amount while international flights have a slighter higher penalty amount. The penalty amount has to be borne entirely by the client and the company won’t be liable for any bookings you have made on your own.

 

  • Sometimes, after you arrive in a particular country you may be deported for specific reasons. Deportation charges and other charges will have to be borne by the passengers solely.

 

Fly for Holidays acts as an agent for submitting applications for the visa in the given time frame to immigration authorities or other concerned institutions without any delay or inconveniences besides tour management and planning.

Fly for Holidays is not responsible if incorrect documents are sent to the embassy because it is solely on the traveler to give in the right documents and the company won’t be liable for it if a claim is raised in the future as Fly for Holidays can guide on the documents but the ultimate authority of the submission of documents lies with the applicant.

 

  • All correspondence between the company and Immigration is confidential. If any information regarding the visa is false or misleading, the application may be canceled. The company won’t bear the costs for the same. As our client, you are asked to notify us of any reason that can adversely affect a visa application via mail. If not, this may cause a delay in visa processing. It is the client’s responsibility to check for errors in the application as failure to do so may result in reasons not being allowed to enter a country. It needs to match details on the passport. The company won’t be responsible for it.

 

  • It is important to abide by the conditions otherwise failure in doing so may lead to him leaving the country and visa getting canceled. Our company is not responsible if the embassy makes any mistake or enters any incorrect details because it is out of our control. The company cannot influence the immigration authority on any decisions they take for any reason. Information provided by the client will be used and no assumptions will be made for its accuracy. If you want to apply for another visa in the country you’re in and you are asked to not be present you need to contact us as soon as possible. After we receive a confirmed letter we will process the visa.

 

  • Failure to do so will result in extra travel expenses solely paid by you. It is your responsibility to stay in another country only up till the legal time and we don’t bear any responsibility if you break the rules. So make sure you are aware of your visa activation and expiration dates. As soon as the authorities decide on a visa application, the services by the company towards the client ends. At an initial stage, the client must give information to the agent which the company, later on, holds as true. If the information is conflicting at a later date the company won’t be responsible for it and the client will need to pay extra fees for the service either in part or as a whole.

 

  • Please be advised that the visa application portal is subject to technical issues that may result in unexpected downtime. In the event of such occurrences, application processing times may be delayed. As your visa agent, we are committed to providing timely updates and support; however, we cannot influence the operational status of the portal or expedite the process during these periods. We appreciate your understanding.

 

  • 3% is additionally charged if you make payments using a credit card or debit card. You need to hold the same passport for visa application while you travel. If you get a new passport after visa gets issued you need to approach our help desk to re-assign your visa to your new passport and there are charges for this.

  • All travelers traveling with Fly for Holiday tours must have a valid visa. The Consulate or the Authorities has the right to ask the traveler for an interview or personal documents. Although the Consulate/Authorities can grant or reject a certain visa even after all the required documents are submitted, the company is not responsible for it.

  • In the case of visa rejection, the company or the supplier in charge of visa processing is not responsible for any financial loss occurring due to negligence of document work or any expense that arises.

 

  • Any issue arising between immigration officers regarding visa issuing is beyond the control of the company. The company cannot change the activation date imposed on a visa by the immigrant officer. We remind you to not book tickets until the visa is granted the reason being that sometimes the embassy decides to review an application in the destination country and not in the embassy itself. This may take longer and is not in the hands of the company. A double or multiple entry visa is applied for short business and tourist purposes, but chances are there that the embassy may grant a single entry visa.

 

  • All costs for the application of visas need to be borne by the traveler alone.

However, norms laid down by the Embassy for the same will be followed.

 

  • Our company does not have control over this and will not discount the next application by the difference in the embassy visa fee. If the immigration authorities update their laws and regulations not made known to the public yet, the company isn’t responsible for this and is not liable for any costs arising from situations dealing with outdated information.

 

  • If we suggest other travel agents for the service we don’t provide, then the client needs to adhere to the terms put forth by that company which is different from our company. If an agent submits the application to our company on behalf of a client, then it will be deemed as submitted to our company directly & they will have to follow the terms & conditions as mention here. The company’s liability will be limited to the actual value of passport and documents up to 10,000 INR due to loss and damage of the same. Document assessment and pre-checks are not refundable once the company has begun the process but the client wants to stop from going ahead with it.
