Cancelling – Foreign, Commonwealth & Development (‘FCDO’) Advice and Pandemics

6.15 Where you are choosing to travel to a destination subject to the FCDO advisory against nonessential travel, you accept that once your booking has been confirmed, if you decide not to travel due to the FCDO advisory, you will have to pay our standard cancellation charges as shown in clause 6.14 of these Booking Conditions – you are not entitled to cancel and receive a full refund in these circumstances, as it is assumed and you confirm that you have made your booking with full knowledge of the FCDO advisory against non-essential travel. Where a full refund is not available, we are offering flexibility to find the best possible solution for you, this will include a date change or a fully protected credit note.

6.16 Where your chosen destination is exempt from the FCDO advisory against non-essential travel at the time of booking but is subsequently removed from the FCDO exemption list and at that point becomes subject to the FCDO advisory against non-essential travel, you accept that you will not have the right to cancel your booking and receive a full refund. If you choose to no longer travel in these circumstances, you will have to pay our standard cancellation charges as shown in clause 6.14 of these Booking Conditions.

6.17 Please note that we will have no liability for any refunds, compensation, costs, expenses or other losses of any kind incurred by you (including, where applicable, the cost of medical treatment).

7 If We Change Your Booking

7.1 As we mostly arrange and plan your Package or Travel Arrangement many months in advance, we may have to make changes to your booking both before and after your booking has been confirmed.

Charges

7.2 Most changes are minor, but from time to time we may have to make a major change to your booking.

7.3 If we make a major change to your Package or Travel Arrangement, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. You will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, 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), or cancelling your Package or Travel Arrangement and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. This doesn’t apply for minor changes. Additional provisions may apply to Packages (see clause 21).

7.4 Examples of minor changes may include, but are not limited to alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of airline or routing (including from non-stop to indirect flights), change of airport (including change of departure airport between local airports), change of accommodation to another or higher standard within 30 minutes/30 miles of the original accommodation or change to a cruise itinerary. See additional provisions and examples that apply to Packages at clause 21.

Cancellation

7.5 We may in exceptional circumstances be required to cancel your booking in which case a full refund of all monies paid will be made to you. We regret we cannot meet any expenses or losses that you may incur as a result of change or cancellation, including any additional Travel Arrangements that you have made via another company.

7.6 Very rarely, we may be forced by Unavoidable and Extraordinary circumstances (see clause 7.8) to change or terminate all or some of your arrangements after departure. If this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds, pay you compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.

7.7 Where you have booked a Package, additional terms and conditions apply to your booking, please see clauses 6.8-6.9.

Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances

7.8 In these Booking Conditions, Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances (also known as Force Majeure) means a situation which is beyond our or the Supplier’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Such situations are likely to include, but are not limited to whether actual or threatened, war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, flood, epidemics and pandemics, fire, airport, port or airspace closures, restrictions or congestion, flight or entry restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority or other third party, an FCDO advisory against travel to a particular destination and any other government restrictions on travel. Except where otherwise stated in these Booking Conditions, we have no liability including for compensation, costs and expenses in such situations.

7.9 Brexit Implications: please note that certain Packages and/or Travel Arrangements may be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. This could include an unavailability of certain flight routes, access to certain ports and airports and changes to the visa requirements of British citizens travelling to, within or through the EU. This is something we will continue to monitor and will advise you as soon as possible if we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected. However, since this is something which is completely unprecedented and outside our control, we would treat any such changes as Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances, and whilst we will endeavour to provide suitable alternative arrangements or refunds where possible, we will not be liable to pay you any compensation.

7.10 We shall have no liability to you for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations that is caused by Unavoidable and Extraordinary circumstances.

8. Travel Requirements

8.1 You accept responsibility for both you and your party in respect of the following:

a) You must ensure that you and your party have valid passports and appropriate visas. Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. Further information regarding visas and travel destinations advice can be found at www.fco.gov.uk. Your passport should have a minimum of 6 months validity from the date of travel. You should check if vaccinations are required for your chosen destination with your doctor.
b) It is mandatory for anyone transferring through the US under the Visa Waiver Programme, to obtain approval to travel no later than 72 hours prior to travel by completing an online process ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) scheme. Once completed and approved the ESTA application is valid for 2 years and allows multiple visits without the need to reapply. Travellers can apply for an ESTA even if they have no firm plans to travel to the US. Failure to obtain an ESTA could result in the passenger being denied boarding by the airline. If you are travelling to the United States and you have travelled to Cuba since 12th January 2021, you will not be able to travel on the ESTA Visa Waiver Programme, you will need to obtain a visa to travel to the United States. For more information visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html.
c) Airline regulations state that women who are 28 weeks or more into pregnancy at the time of return travel must have a doctor’s certification stating that they are fit to travel. Normally, permission to travel is refused after 32 weeks. We can only accept your booking upon the clear understanding that we cannot be liable if any airline refuses to accept you or any member of your party as a passenger for this reason.
d) You must be responsible for the behaviour of yourself and your party. (Please refer to clause 14).
e) For all guests residing in a villa/condo or town homes you will be required to pay a compulsory guest registration fee. If this is not paid before your arrival in resort you will be asked to pay the fee locally. The fee will cover you for any accidental damages up to the value of $1000. The fee cannot be paid at the point of booking.
f) When checking into a villa the lead guest must be at least 25 years old.

9. Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (‘FCDO’) Advice

9.1 Please note that the FCDO currently advises against all but essential travel to a number of overseas destinations, including popular holiday destinations in which we operate. However, many of these destinations remain open and welcoming to UK tourists and flights to and from these destinations continue to operate. Whilst holiday destinations remain open to UK tourists, flights continue to operate and holiday services can be performed, we will continue to offer holidays to our customers who wish to travel.

10 Travel advice

10.1 For up-to-date travel advice from the UK government, visit www.gov.uk/foreigntravel-advice and https://travelaware.campaign.gov.uk. We recommend that you consult these websites before booking in order to make an informed decision about your chosen destination, and again before departure.

11 Your Experience

11.1 You acknowledge that the suppliers providing your Package or Travel Arrangement will need to comply with national and/or local guidance.

12 Assistance in Resort

12.1 If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances.

13 Complaints

13.1 In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with any element of your Package whilst away, you must immediately inform us and the relevant supplier of the particular part of the Package that you wish to complain about whilst in resort.

13.2 Most problems or complaints can be resolved whilst you are away, however if you remain dissatisfied please contact us in writing within 28 days of your return by emailing info@wingedboots.co.uk or write to Customer Service Department, Ocean Holidays Ltd, 9th Floor, North House, St Edwards Way, Romford, Essex, RM1 3AE.

13.3 We will require any documentation to support your complaint in order for us to investigate any problems you may have incurred, including evidence of the issues encountered and proof of any additional costs incurred.

13.4 If you fail to follow these procedures we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint.

14 Behaviour

14.1 When you book a Package or Travel Arrangement you accept responsibility for the proper conduct for yourself and your party whilst on the Package or Travel Arrangement.

14.2 If you are prevented from utilising any element of your Package or Travel Arrangement as a result of your behaviour, or you appear to be unfit for travel or likely to cause disturbances or discomfort to other persons whether due to alcohol consumption, misuse of drugs or general misbehaviour, we will be entitled to terminate the Package or Travel Arrangement of the person(s) concerned. Full cancellation charges will apply (if applicable) and any extra costs incurred in making alternative arrangements will be payable by you.

14.3 For the avoidance of doubt, where the person(s) concerned are required to leave the Package or Travel
Arrangement early we will have no further responsibility to them including any travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.

14.4 You will be responsible for making full payment for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party during your time away. Payment must be paid direct at the time to the Supplier concerned failing which, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party’s legal costs) as a result of your actions.

15 Flights

15.1 Occasionally flight operators change the flight times and for that reason it is important that you confirm your flight times two days prior to departure. We recommend that you check directly with your airline to confirm the current departure time as the departure time may change more than once.

15.2 For inbound flights, it may be necessary to reconfirm your flight with the airline. Please check this in the correspondence received from the airline or flight provider including all the relevant booking conditions. You should take a note of any reference number or contact name when reconfirming. If you fail to reconfirm you may be refused permission to board the aircraft and you are unlikely to receive any refund.

15.3 We cannot accept responsibility in the event that you miss your flight if you do not confirm your flight times as described above. If you voluntarily miss a flight due to a change in your schedule this may affect the availability of other flights booked via Winged Boots, please consult your agent if you plan to make any changes to your travel arrangements.

15.4 We are not always in a position at the time of booking to confirm the carrier(s), aircraft type and flight timings which will be used in connection with your flight. Where we are only able to inform you of the likely carrier(s) at the time of booking, we shall inform you of the identity of the actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of this. The carrier (s), flight timings and type of aircraft shown on our website and on your ATOL receipt are for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation. The latest timings will be shown on your tickets which will be dispatched to you approximately 7-14 days prior to travel. You must check your tickets very carefully immediately on receipt to ensure you have the correct times. It is possible that flight times may be changed even after the tickets have been dispatched, we will contact you as soon as possible if this occurs. Any change in the identity of the carrier(s), flight timings, and/or aircraft type will not entitle you to cancel or change to other arrangements without paying our normal charges.

15.5 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 published 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. You will be responsible to make such a claim directly with your airline, but we will be available to assist you in this process. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the CAA’s Passenger Advice and Complaints Team (PACT) on 020 7453 6888 or visit www.caa.co.uk.

15.6 Please note that in accordance with Air Navigation Orders, in order to qualify as an infant status, a child must be 2 years and under on the day of his/her return flight.

16. Where you have booked a Package or Travel Arrangement that does not include flights and you have booked flights separately in order to take part in a Package or Travel Arrangement we accept no responsibility for any flights, cancellations, amendments whatsoever.

17 Insurance

17.1 It is a condition of travel on our Packages and Travel Arrangements that all travellers are adequately covered by travel insurance prior to departure. Insurance should cover personal accident and medical expenses, evacuation and repatriation, baggage loss, and cancellation or curtailment of holiday.

18 Excursions

18.1 Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your Package or Travel Arrangement. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract will be with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator.

19 Law and Jurisdiction

24 Our Liability to you

If any of the travel services included in your Package are not performed in accordance with the contract, or are improperly performed, by us or the travel service suppliers, and this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements, you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. We will not be liable where any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services is due to: you or another member of your party; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel services in the Package and is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or Unavoidable and Extraordinary circumstances; or an event which either ourselves or suppliers could not, even with all due care, have foreseen or forestalled.

24.2 Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of 2 times the cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to:

1) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and
2) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions.
3) 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 an amount equivalent to the excess on your insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person in total because you are assumed to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind.

24.3 You can ask for copies of the transport contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our Customer Service Department on 0203 814 2198. Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details will be publicised at EU airports and available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your Package cost from us. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted.

24.4 If it is impossible to ensure your return as scheduled due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary circumstances, we will bear the cost of necessary accommodation, if possible of equivalent category, for a maximum of three nights. The limit doesn’t apply to persons with reduced mobility and any person accompanying them, pregnant women and unaccompanied minors, or persons in need of specific medical assistance, provided that you notified us of these needs at least 48 hours before the start of your holiday.

24.5 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 Booking Conditions at clause 13.

24.6 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.

24.7 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.

24.8 Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description: (a) 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) relate to any business.

24.9 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.

Cancelling – Foreign, Commonwealth & Development (‘FCDO’) Advice and Pandemics

6.15 Where you are choosing to travel to a destination subject to the FCDO advisory against nonessential travel, you accept that once your booking has been confirmed, if you decide not to travel due to the FCDO advisory, you will have to pay our standard cancellation charges as shown in clause 6.14 of these Booking Conditions – you are not entitled to cancel and receive a full refund in these circumstances, as it is assumed and you confirm that you have made your booking with full knowledge of the FCDO advisory against non-essential travel. Where a full refund is not available, we are offering flexibility to find the best possible solution for you, this will include a date change or a fully protected credit note.

6.16 Where your chosen destination is exempt from the FCDO advisory against non-essential travel at the time of booking but is subsequently removed from the FCDO exemption list and at that point becomes subject to the FCDO advisory against non-essential travel, you accept that you will not have the right to cancel your booking and receive a full refund. If you choose to no longer travel in these circumstances, you will have to pay our standard cancellation charges as shown in clause 6.14 of these Booking Conditions.

6.17 Please note that we will have no liability for any refunds, compensation, costs, expenses or other losses of any kind incurred by you (including, where applicable, the cost of medical treatment).

7 If We Change Your Booking

7.1 As we mostly arrange and plan your Package or Travel Arrangement many months in advance, we may have to make changes to your booking both before and after your booking has been confirmed.

Changes

7.2 Most changes are minor, but from time to time we may have to make a major change to your booking.

7.3 If we make a major change to your Package or Travel Arrangement, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. You will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, 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), or cancelling your Package or Travel Arrangement and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. This doesn’t apply for minor changes. Additional provisions may apply to Packages (see clause 21).

7.4 Examples of minor changes may include, but are not limited to alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of airline or routing (including from non-stop to indirect flights), change of airport (including change of departure airport between local airports), change of accommodation to another or higher standard within 30 minutes/30 miles of the original accommodation or change to a cruise itinerary. See additional provisions and examples that apply to Packages at clause 21.

Cancellation

7.5 We may in exceptional circumstances be required to cancel your booking in which case a full refund of all monies paid will be made to you. We regret we cannot meet any expenses or losses that you may incur as a result of change or cancellation, including any additional Travel Arrangements that you have made via another company.

7.6 Very rarely, we may be forced by Unavoidable and Extraordinary circumstances (see clause 7.8) to change or terminate all or some of your arrangements after departure. If this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds, pay you compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.

7.7 Where you have booked a Package, additional terms and conditions apply to your booking, please see clauses 6.8-6.9.

Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances

7.8 In these Booking Conditions, Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances (also known as Force Majeure) means a situation which is beyond our or the Supplier’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Such situations are likely to include, but are not limited to whether actual or threatened, war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, flood, epidemics and pandemics, fire, airport, port or airspace closures, restrictions or congestion, flight or entry restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority or other third party, an FCDO advisory against travel to a particular destination and any other government restrictions on travel. Except where otherwise stated in these Booking Conditions, we have no liability including for compensation, costs and expenses in such situations.

7.9 Brexit Implications: please note that certain Packages and/or Travel Arrangements may be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. This could include an unavailability of certain flight routes, access to certain ports and airports and changes to the visa requirements of British citizens travelling to, within or through the EU. This is something we will continue to monitor and will advise you as soon as possible if we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected. However, since this is something which is completely unprecedented and outside our control, we would treat any such changes as Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances, and whilst we will endeavour to provide suitable alternative arrangements or refunds where possible, we will not be liable to pay you any compensation.

7.10 We shall have no liability to you for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations that is caused by Unavoidable and Extraordinary circumstances.

a) You must ensure that you and your party have valid passports and appropriate visas. Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because
you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. Further information regarding visas and travel destinations advice can be found at www.fco.gov.uk. Your passport should have a minimum of 6 months validity from the date of travel. You should check if vaccinations are required for your chosen destination with your doctor.
b) It is mandatory for anyone transferring through the US under the Visa Waiver Programme, to obtain approval to travel no later than 72 hours prior to travel by completing an online process ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) scheme. Once completed and approved the ESTA application is valid for 2 years and allows multiple visits without the need to reapply. Travellers can apply for an ESTA even if they have no firm plans to travel to the US. Failure to obtain an ESTA could result in the passenger being denied boarding by the airline. If you are travelling to the United States and you have travelled to Cuba since 12th January 2021, you will not be able to travel on the ESTA Visa Waiver Programme, you will need to obtain a visa to travel to the United States. For more information visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html.
c) Airline regulations state that women who are 28 weeks or more into pregnancy at the time of return travel must have a doctor’s certification stating that they are fit to travel. Normally, permission to travel is refused after 32 weeks. We can only accept your booking upon the clear understanding that we cannot be liable if any airline refuses to accept you or any member of your party as a passenger for this reason.
d) You must be responsible for the behaviour of yourself and your party. (Please refer to clause 14).
e) For all guests residing in a villa/condo or town homes you will be required to pay a compulsory guest registration fee. If this is not paid before your arrival in resort you will be asked to pay the fee locally. The fee will cover you for any accidental damages up to the value of $1000. The fee cannot be paid at the point of booking.
f) When checking into a villa the lead guest must be at least 25 years old.

9. Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (‘FCDO’) Advice

9.1 Please note that the FCDO currently advises against all but essential travel to a number of overseas destinations, including popular holiday destinations in which we operate. However, many of these destinations remain open and welcoming to UK tourists and flights to and from these destinations continue to operate. Whilst holiday destinations remain open to UK tourists, flights continue to operate and holiday services can be performed, we will continue to offer holidays to our customers who wish to travel.

10 Travel advice

10.1 For up-to-date travel advice from the UK government, visit www.gov.uk/foreigntravel-advice and https://travelaware.campaign.gov.uk. We recommend that you consult these websites before booking in order to make an informed decision about your chosen destination, and again before departure.

11 Your Experience

11.1 You acknowledge that the suppliers providing your Package or Travel Arrangement will need to comply with national and/or local guidance.

12 Assistance in Resort

12.1 If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances.

13 Complaints

13.1 In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with any element of your Package whilst away, you must immediately inform us and the relevant supplier of the particular part of the Package that you wish to complain about whilst in resort.

13.2 Most problems or complaints can be resolved whilst you are away, however if you remain dissatisfied, please contact your booking agent in writing within 28 days of your return.

13.3 We will require any documentation to support your complaint in order for us to investigate any problems you may have incurred, including evidence of the issues encountered and proof of any additional costs incurred.

13.4 If you fail to follow these procedures we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint.

13.5 In the event that we are unable to resolve your complaint, ABTA can act as an independent intermediary via their ADR scheme. Arbitration can be used to settle alleged breaches of contract and/or negligence between consumers and ABTA Members. If your claim includes an element of minor illness or personal injury then this can also be considered by the arbitrator, but is limited to £1,500 per person.

More information on ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found at www.abta.com.

13.6 Unless specifically stated credit notes issued following a complaint in resort or post travel will be valid to travel within 24 months of the booked return date.

14 Behaviour

14.1 When you book a Package or Travel Arrangement you accept responsibility for the proper conduct for yourself and your party whilst on the Package or Travel Arrangement.

14.2 If you are prevented from utilising any element of your Package or Travel Arrangement as a result of your behaviour, or you appear to be unfit for travel or likely to cause disturbances or discomfort to other persons whether due to alcohol consumption, misuse of drugs or general misbehaviour, we will be entitled to terminate the Package or Travel Arrangement of the person(s) concerned. Full cancellation charges will apply (if applicable) and any extra costs incurred in making alternative arrangements will be payable by you.

14.3 For the avoidance of doubt, where the person(s) concerned are required to leave the Package or Travel
Arrangement early we will have no further responsibility to them including any travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.

14.4 You will be responsible for making full payment for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party during your time away. Payment must be paid direct at the time to the Supplier concerned failing which, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party’s legal costs) as a result of your actions.

15 Flights

15.1 Occasionally flight operators change the flight times and for that reason it is important that you confirm your flight times two days prior to departure. We recommend that you check directly with your airline to confirm the current departure time as the departure time may change more than once.

15.2 For inbound flights, it may be necessary to reconfirm your flight with the airline. Please check this in the correspondence received from the airline or flight provider including all the relevant booking conditions. You should take a note of any reference number or contact name when reconfirming. If you fail to reconfirm you may be refused permission to board the aircraft and you are unlikely to receive any refund.

15.3 We cannot accept responsibility in the event that you miss your flight if you do not confirm your flight times as described above. If you voluntarily miss a flight due to a change in your schedule this may affect the availability of other flights booked via Winged Boots, please consult your agent if you plan to make any changes to your travel arrangements.

15.4 We are not always in a position at the time of booking to confirm the carrier(s), aircraft type and flight timings which will be used in connection with your flight. Where we are only able to inform you of the likely carrier(s) at the time of booking, we shall inform you of the identity of the actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of this. The carrier (s), flight timings and type of aircraft shown on our website and on your ATOL receipt are for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation. The latest timings will be shown on your tickets which will be dispatched to you approximately 7-14 days prior to travel. You must check your tickets very carefully immediately on receipt to ensure you have the correct times. It is possible that flight times may be changed even after the tickets have been dispatched, we will contact you as soon as possible if this occurs. Any change in the identity of the carrier(s), flight timings, and/or aircraft type will not entitle you to cancel or change to other arrangements without paying our normal charges.
15.5 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 published 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. You will be responsible to make such a claim directly with your airline, but we will be available to assist you in this process. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the CAA’s Passenger Advice and Complaints Team (PACT) on 020 7453 6888 or visit www.caa.co.uk.

15.6 Please note that in accordance with Air Navigation Orders, in order to qualify as an infant status, a child must be 2 years and under on the day of his/her return flight.

16. Where you have booked a Package or Travel Arrangement that does not include flights and you have booked flights separately in order to take part in a Package or Travel Arrangement we accept no responsibility for any flights, cancellations, amendments whatsoever.

17 Insurance

17.1 It is a condition of travel on our Packages and Travel Arrangements that all travellers are adequately covered by travel insurance prior to departure. Insurance should cover personal accident and medical expenses, evacuation and repatriation, baggage loss, and cancellation or curtailment of holiday.

18 Excursions

18.1 Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your Package or Travel Arrangement. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract will be with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator.

We will not be liable where any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services is due to: you or another member of your party; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel services in the Package and is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or Unavoidable and Extraordinary circumstances; or an event which either ourselves or suppliers could not, even with all due care, have foreseen or forestalled.

24.2 Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of 2 times the cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to:

1) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and
2) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions.
3) 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 an amount equivalent to the excess on your insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person in total because you are assumed to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind.

24.3 You can ask for copies of the transport contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our Customer Service Department on 0203 814 2198. Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details will be publicised at EU airports and available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your Package cost from us. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted.

24.4 If it is impossible to ensure your return as scheduled due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary circumstances, we will bear the cost of necessary accommodation, if possible of equivalent category, for a maximum of three nights. The limit doesn’t apply to persons with reduced mobility and any person accompanying them, pregnant women and unaccompanied minors, or persons in need of specific medical assistance, provided that you notified us of these needs at least 48 hours before the start of your holiday.

24.5 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 Booking Conditions at clause 13.

24.6 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.

24.7 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.

24.8 Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description: (a) 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) relate to any business.

24.9 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.

4.3 We will do our best to ensure that all the information and prices that we advise you of or publish are accurate, however, occasionally changes and errors occur and we reserve the right to correct prices and other details in such circumstances. We are reliant upon the prices and information that the Principal Supplier provides us with. You must check the current price and all
other details relating to the Travel Arrangement that you wish to book before your booking is placed.

4.4 Resort fees including, tourist tax, car parking and refundable deposits are now commonly charged by hotels/resorts, which can only be paid locally and not at the point of booking. We will do our best to inform you of such fees but accept no responsibility for the payment of fees. If you are unclear as to whether resort fees will be payable please ask your agent and we will do our best to advise you. Note resort fees are subject to change.

4.5 Refundable deposits are now common charged by hotels following your arrival in resort. The amount of the deposit varies depending on the hotel's policy and the length of stay. Refundable deposits are typically refunded within 14 days of your departure. In most cases the original debit will disappear from account. If you are unclear as to whether a deposit will be payable please ask your agent and we will do our best to advise you.

4.6 Car hire charges – If your travel arrangements include car hire you will have all the necessarily insurances to get your car on the road, however it may be the case that the local car hire agent will try to sell additional extras above the service booked by Winged Boots. Winged Boots will not be liable for any additional charges agreed with the local car hire agent.

4.7 Pre-booking seats – it is now common for airlines to charge passengers to pre-book their seats, seating is subject to availability. Flight seat booking rules vary by airline and departure date, your confirmation email, sent to you at the time of booking contains full details as they apply to your particular booking and airline.

5 Payment

5.1 The lead name, acts on behalf of all other persons on the booking and is responsible to us for all payments in respect of the booking.

5.2 When you make your booking, depending on the Principal Supplier, a deposit will be payable, the amount of the deposit will be dependent on the Travel Arrangement that you are booking. You will be advised of the deposit requirements during the booking process and if a deposit is to be taken, when the final balance is due as this will vary between Principal Suppliers. In the case of some Principal Suppliers and Travel Arrangements the full balance will become due immediately. You will also be advised of this during the booking process.

5.3 If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and charge any administration and cancellation charges in accordance with clause 7.

5.4 On some occasions we may need to take the full payment for the flights due to a special fare, this payment then becomes non changeable and non-refundable. You will be informed of any non-changeable and/or non-refundable parts of your booking prior to completing the booking process.

5.5 All pricing is reflected in GBP unless otherwise specifically denoted and is valid at time of publication but is subject to change. Unless otherwise stated, prices include all government levies and airport taxes as at the date of publication but not resort fees as per clause 4.4. Dates, itineraries and prices are indicative only. Prices are valid for travel for the date ranges shown.

5.6 Any refund due will be paid to the lead passenger, unless a request is made to Ocean Holidays with evidence provided that the lead passenger is not due the refund in full due to payment being made by another member of the party.

6 Special Requests/Medical Issues

6.1 If you wish to make a special request, you must do so at the time of booking. We will try to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant Principal Supplier but we cannot guarantee that any requests will be met.

6.2 The fact that a special request has been noted on any documentation or that it has been passed on to the Principal Supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met.

6.3 If you or any member of your party has any medical issues or disability which may affect your trip, please provide us with full details before we confirm your booking so that we can try to obtain advice from the Principal Supplier as to the suitability of your chosen Travel Arrangements. The Principal Supplier may require you to produce a doctor’s certificate certifying that you are fit to participate in your chosen Travel Arrangement.

6.4 Acting reasonably, if the Principal Supplier is unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm your booking on the Principal Supplier’s behalf. If you did not give us full details at the time of booking, we will inform the Principal Supplier once we are aware but if they are unable to accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned they may cancel and impose cancellation charges.

7 If you Change or Cancel your Booking

7.1 Any cancellation or amendment request must be made to us by telephone to our Operations Department on 0203 816 0965 by the lead name on the booking. Please ensure that you have received written confirmation of any changes to your booking prior to travel. Whilst we will try to assist, most cancellations or amendments are outside of our control. We cannot guarantee that the Principal Supplier will meet such requests. The Principal Supplier will charge the cancellation or amendment charges shown in their terms and conditions (which may be as much as 100% of the cost of the Travel Arrangement and will normally increase closer to the date of departure). In addition, you must pay us an administration fee per person or alteration as applicable. We will notify you of the exact charges at the time of amendment or cancellation.

Please note:

• Some Travel Arrangements may not be changeable after a booking has been made, for example, where discounted non-refundable accommodation or flights have been booked. You will be advised of any non-refundable charges prior to confirming your booking.
• Administration fees are non-refundable in the event you cancel your booking

7.2 Flights are always non-refundable once tickets have been issued.

7.3 We recommend that in the event of any cancellation you contact your insurance company as you may be able to reclaim the loss depending on the reason for the cancellation and the policy you have taken.

Cancelling – Foreign, Commonwealth & Development (‘FCDO’) Advice and Pandemics

7.4 Where you are choosing to travel to a destination subject to the FCDO advisory against non- essential travel, you accept that once your booking has been confirmed, if you decide not to travel due to the FCDO advisory, you will have to pay the Principal Supplier’s standard cancellation charges together with our administration fee of £50.00 per person, you are not entitled to cancel and receive a full refund in these circumstances, as it is assumed and you confirm that you have made your booking with full knowledge of the FCDO advisory against non-essential travel.

7.5 Where your chosen destination is exempt from the FCDO advisory against non- essential travel at the time of booking but is subsequently removed from the FCDO exemption list and at that point becomes subject to the FCDO advisory against non-essential travel, you accept that you will not have the right to cancel your booking and receive a full refund. If you choose to no longer travel in these circumstances, you will have to pay the Principal Supplier’s standard cancellation charges together with our administration fee of £50.00 per person.

8 Changes and Cancellations by the Principal Supplier

8.1 We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if the Principal Supplier needs to make a significant change to your confirmed Travel Arrangement or to cancel it. We will also liaise between you and the Principal Supplier in relation to any alternative travel arrangements offered by the Principal Supplier but we will have no further liability to you.

9 Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances

9.1 In these Booking Conditions, Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances (also known as Force Majeure) means a situation which is beyond our or the Principal Supplier’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Such situations are likely to include but are not limited to, whether actual or threatened, war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, flood, epidemics and pandemics, fire, airport, port or airspace closures, restrictions or congestion, flight or entry restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority or other third party, an FCDO advisory against travel to a particular destination and any other government restrictions on travel.

9.2 Brexit Implications: please note that certain Travel Arrangements may be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. This could include an unavailability of certain flight routes, access to certain ports and airports and changes to the visa requirements of British citizens travelling to, within or through the EU. This is something you should monitor. This is something which is completely unprecedented and outside our or the Principal Supplier’s control, we would treat any such changes as Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances and have no liability to you.

9.3 We shall have no liability to you for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations that is caused by Unavoidable and Extraordinary circumstances.

d) You must be responsible for the behaviour of yourself and your party. (Please refer to clause 17).

11 Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (‘FCDO’) Advice

11.1 Please note that the FCDO currently advises against all but essential travel to a number of overseas destinations, including popular holiday destinations. Many of these destinations remain open and welcoming to UK tourists and flights to and from these destinations continue to operate. Whilst holiday destinations remain open to UK tourists, flights continue to operate and holiday services can be performed, we and the Principal Suppliers will continue to offer for sale Travel Arrangements to customers who wish to travel.

12 Travel advice

12.1 For up-to-date travel advice from the UK government, visit www.gov.uk/foreigntravel-advice and https://travelaware.campaign.gov.uk. We recommend that you consult these websites before booking in order to make an informed decision about your chosen destination, and again before departure.

13 Our liability to you

13.1 As agent, our responsibilities are limited to making your booking in accordance with your instructions. We cannot and do not accept any liability whatsoever for any improper performance of the service supplied by the Principal Supplier including but not limited to the Travel Arrangement itself, for any information concerning the Travel Arrangement which we pass on to you in good faith, for the performance of your contract by the Principal Supplier or for the acts or omissions of the accommodation provider, its employees, agents or suppliers or any other person or party in any way connected with the accommodation. The Principal Supplier will be set out in your confirmation documents, and where relevant, your ATOL Certificate.

14 Your Experience

14.1 You acknowledge that the suppliers providing your Travel Arrangement will need to comply with national and/or local guidance.

15 Assistance in Resort

15.1 If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances.

16 Complaints

16.1 In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems, queries or concerns with any element of your Travel Arrangement whilst away, you must immediately inform the Principal Supplier whilst in resort. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the Principal Supplier to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to may therefore be reduced or extinguished as a result.

Important: claims/complaints about injuries or illness

16.2 In the unfortunate event that you suffer an injury or an illness while you are away, and you believe this is the fault of the Principal Supplier, it is very important that you notify the Principal Supplier whilst you are on holiday. Accommodation providers will often not accept claims for illness or injury unless the issue is reported to them at the time.

16.3 Most problems or complaints can be resolved whilst you are away, however if you remain dissatisfied please contact us in writing within 28 days of your return by emailing info@wingedboots.co.uk or write Customer Service Department Ocean Holidays Ltd, 9th Floor, North House, St Edwards Way, Romford, Essex, RM1 3AE. We will then endeavour to assist in our capacity as agent by liaising with the Principal Supplier on your behalf.

16.4 The Principal Supplier will require any documentation to support your complaint in order for them to investigate any
problems you may have incurred.

16.5 If you fail to follow these procedures the Principal Supplier will argue that it has been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint.

16.6 In the event that we are unable to resolve your complaint, ABTA can act as an independent intermediary via their ADR scheme. Arbitration can be used to settle alleged breaches of contract and/or negligence between consumers and ABTA Members. If your claim includes an element of minor illness or personal injury then this can also be considered by the arbitrator, but is limited to £1,500 per person.

More information on ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found at www.abta.com

17 Behaviour

17.1 You are expected to conduct yourself in an orderly and acceptable manner and not to disrupt the enjoyment of others. If in the Principal Supplier’s opinion or in the opinion of 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 other customers or any third party, or damage to property, or to cause a delay or diversion to transportation, the Principal Supplier reserves the right to terminate your booking immediately with no further liability to you. You and/or your party may also be required to pay for loss and/or damage caused by your actions and you and each member of your party will be jointly and individually liable for any damage or losses caused. Full payment for any such damage or losses must be paid directly to the Principal Supplier prior to departure. If you fail to make payment, you will be responsible for meeting any claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against us because of your actions together with all costs we incur in pursuing any claim against you.

17.2 We cannot be held responsible for the actions or behaviour of other guests or individuals who have no connection with your booking arrangements or with us.

18 Flights

18.1 Occasionally flight operators change the flight times and for that reason it is important that you confirm your flight times two days prior to departure.

18.2 For inbound flights, it may be necessary to reconfirm your flight with the airline or your Principal Supplier. Please check this in the correspondence received from the airline or the Principal Supplier including all the relevant booking conditions. You should take a note of any reference number or contact name when reconfirming. If you fail to reconfirm you may be refused permission to board the aircraft and you are unlikely to receive any refund.

18.3 Neither we nor the Principal Supplier can accept responsibility in the event that you miss your flight if you do not confirm your flight times as described above.

18.4 The latest flight timings will be shown on your tickets which are normally dispatched to you approximately 7-14 days prior to travel. You must check your tickets very carefully immediately on receipt to ensure you have the correct times. It is possible that flight times may be changed even after the tickets have been dispatched.

18.5 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 published at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. Reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the CAA’s Passenger Advice and Complaints Team (PACT) on 020 7453 6888 or visit www.caa.co.uk.

18.6 Please note that in accordance with Air Navigation Orders, in order to qualify as an infant status, a child must be 2 years and under on the day of his/her return flight.

19 Insurance

19.1 It is a condition of travel of our Principal Supplier’s Travel Arrangements that all travellers are adequately covered by travel insurance prior to departure.
