(terms&conditions)

A Wide World of Travel offers on our site
"The fine print"
Most travel offers, including the travel offers made on this site, are subject to a certain list of restrictions and assumptions. These assumptions and restrictions are not always spelled out in detail due to space restrictions (which is why they are called the "fine print"). In our case, we are not repeating these standard restrictions on every page with an offer, but rather referring to this page.

First, all travel offers are subject to availability. The plane may be full, the hotel may be full. In addition, special offers are further restricted to a certain percentage or number at this price. So, although there may be seats on the plane, the 21-day or 14-day advance purchase seats may be sold out.

Offers are usually good only for a certain period of time. They may require booking by a certain time, although travel may commence later. The lowest prices may be only for certain days or times of day. For example, midweek departures are less popular than Friday and weekend departures, so midweek may be on special. In addition, there may be "blackout periods" such as holidays and spring break time.

In addition, the provider may find it necessary to change the details of the offer, so they always allow themselves this option. This is the "subject to change without notice" note you will see in most offers.

A number of taxes and fees are not included in some packages, especially cruise packages. Examples are port charges and fees. This may be worded "taxes and fees additional." Many vacation packages do include all fees and even transportation to and from the airport at the destination, so make sure you understand what the total price will be before you agree to purchase.

The assumption that is made for most travel packages is that the accommodations will be occupied by two people. The price is quoted "per person, double occupancy." We often make the shortcut "pp" which means "per person" and implies double occupancy. If you're traveling alone, you will pay the "single supplement."

For a cruise or a land package, air may or may not be included. Make sure you understand what is included in the price and how much more you will have to pay for the extras. The "cruise-only" or "air additional" price is especially useful if you have frequent flyer miles that you'd like to use.

Sometimes breakfast is included in a hotel or resort price. This can save considerable money, as well as being very convenient. You may want to inquire if the rooms have a small refrigerator or a kitchenette if you like to have snacks or meals in the room.

Transportation from the airport to your final destination can be expensive. If it is included you should receive transportation vouchers with your documents. If it is not included, before you depart, make sure you know what options exist and how much they cost.

Although it may seem like a difficult game to win, it isn't a scam. Advance purchase prices are relatively easy to come by unless you need to travel at particularly busy times. Last minute prices can be very restricted in availability, because in this case the suppliers are trying to sell you those last remaining slots. You can win big if you can move fast and are flexible in timing.

A Wide World of Travel, a travel agency, is acting as an agent for suppliers in selling travel-related services or in accepting reservations or bookings for services that are not directly supplied by this travel agency (such as air and ground transportation).

It is your responsibility to comply with requirements such as proof of citizenship for travel to foreign countries. Boarding will be denied if you do not have proper verification of citizenship.
