TRAVEL INSURANCE - It is imperative that adequate insurance cover is activated at the point of confirming your booking.

ATOL CERTIFICATE - It is recommended that you print and keep this with you when you go away.

PASSPORT & VISA REQUIREMENTS Please ensure that you are fully aware of all passport and visa requirements and that you allow adequate time to obtain them. We recommend that you travel with a passport that has a minimum validity of 6 months remaining at all times. This is an immigration requirement for many countries and airlines. Please check with us if you will not have the recommended validity whilst travelling. Please also ensure there are sufficient blank pages to allow for any visas which may need to be obtained en route. Passports should be Machine Readable for travel to/via the USA. If you intend visiting or transiting through countries not on your itinerary please ensure you are fully aware of all relevant visa and passport requirements.

AIRLINE PASSENGER INFORMATION Please note that airlines are now required by laws introduced in the United States and other countries to give border control agencies access to passenger data. Accordingly any information that the airline holds about you and your travel arrangements may be disclosed to the customs and immigration authorities of any country on your itinerary.
