Economytravel.com Terms & Conditions

Fares:
All fares including taxes and service charges are non-refundable.

Flight Reconfirmation:
Outbound and return flights must be reconfirmed with the relevant airlines at least 72 hours prior to the commencement of that leg of the journey unless specifically informed otherwise by that airline. Economytravel.com accepts no responsibility for bookings canceled due to non-compliance with rules set by that particular airline. We also take no responsibility for any flight rescheduling en route.

Passports/Visas/Health Requirements:
It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the passport, visa, health requirements of the countries you wish to visit and those that you transit (even if it is for a plane change). Many countries require that your passport should be valid for a period of (a minimum) six months from the date of arrival into that country. We accept no responsibility if you should be denied boarding or deported due to non-fulfillment of the above.

Credit Card Forms:
Because of the large amount of credit card fraud on the internet, Economytravel.com is very careful about charging any credit card unless we have done our due diligence to protect our customers. High risk transactions are always required to fill out a credit card form. They include but not limited to, one way reservations, non-US billing addresses, Europe destinations-any fare over $1500.00 per person or $3500.00 total, and other destinations-any fare over $1000.00 per person or $3500.00 total. We do not allow 3rd party credit cards for West Africa. The form can be downloaded at http://www.economytravel.com/help/ccform.pdf

Insurance:
We strongly recommend travel insurance to cover you for cancellation, health, baggage etc.

Cancellation:
If you need to change or cancel your travel plans, it is your responsibility to notify Economytravel.com in writing of such request. Most tickets are non-refundable, but some can be applied (for a limited time) toward future travel, less any applicable penalties. Most tickets do not allow changes.

Changes:
Economytravel.com charges a service fee for any changes or cancellations to fares. In addition to the Economytravel.com charges, most airlines also have a penalty or cancellation fee for any changes or cancellations to fares. Please ensure you read the flight rules for the fare selected as airline charges are notified in those rules depending on whether you wish to cancel or change your flight. If you are holding a booking for which a ticket has been arranged and you do not notify us in writing of your desire to cancel, this will be treated as a "no show" and could result in you losing all that you paid.

Refunds:
If you want to cancel your trip it is important that you notify us in writing with utmost urgency BEFORE DEPARTURE. Tickets must be canceled and refunded (when applicable) prior to departure. This enables us to cancel your reservation with the airline. If you already have your ticket please submit it to us. On receipt of the ticket we will send you an acknowledgment and submit your ticket to the airline for refund. Refunds if due usually take 8-13 weeks. We will forward the refund to you less any cancellation charges due. Please note that most airlines do not refund on part used tickets. Tickets which are returned more than 1 year from date of issue are classified as expired tickets and have no refund value.

Lost Tickets:
If you lose your tickets, it may be possible to re-issue them for a fee. The amount payable will depend on the circumstances of the loss and how close to the travel date you discover it. However, not all tickets can be re-issued; which is another good reason for ensuring you have sufficient insurance cover. Tickets will be dispatched to you in accordance with your instructions and we accept no responsibility for their delivery.
