set them out clearly at the end of this document.
2. COVID-19 AND ENTRY REGULATIONS
2.1 We both acknowledge and agree that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected travel throughout the world and that
we have responsibilities to comply with various laws, regulations and guidance issued by governmental or
regulatory authorities. It is a condition of making your booking through us that you obtain travel insurance
which includes cover against any issues or incidents which may affect your booking.
2.2 You may be required to undergo temperature checks, provide health information or certificates, wear personal
protective equipment such as face masks and gloves and abide by social distancing requirements. There may also
be other limitations on the number of persons who may use facilities or services at any particular time.

third parties may need you and members of your party to perform certain health formalities. If you fail to meet
these requirements or refuse to complete them, you may be denied boarding, exit, entry or the use of some other
facility or service.
2.4 Some countries may impose quarantine or self-isolation measures upon travellers, whether in the place of
destination or upon return. It is essential that you strongly familiarise yourself with the advice from your
national authority for overseas travel before departing. In the UK, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's latest
advice for travel to other countries is available on the link below. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice
2.5 Please note that we will issue no refunds for the fees you have paid for vaccination and quarantine
requirements at your destination if those procedures are not carried out by the time you visit. (e.g., if you
booked your holiday with us months prior to your actual departure date, and if, by the time you travel, COVID-19
regulations are lifted and you will not need to undergo quarantine requirements, no refunds will be issued).
2.6 In the circumstances where you advise us before travelling and the relevant Service Providers, or we decide
that you are no longer able to travel because of the COVID-19 risk, then your booking will be handled as having
been cancelled. Nevertheless, there will be options to explore with you whether you can postpone your booking to
a later date.

or health and safety bodies) or we may require you to follow several measures intended to handle the risk of

expenses, or damages you incur in conjunction with the matters specified above or if you are unable to travel.
These are risks which you must protect against by purchasing comprehensive travel insurance.
2.9 You acknowledge that due to the impact of COVID-19, many hotels are closing on short notice or making
adjustments to their facilities to ensure the safety of employees and travellers. Where a hotel closure affects
your booking, we will arrange alternative accommodation for you to enable your holiday to continue.
3. PACKAGE HOLIDAY
3.1 Many of the arrangements which we help you organise result into "Packages", as this word is defined in the
Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (“Package Travel Regulations”). A Package will
exist if you are resident within the European Economic Area (EEA) and you book a combination of at least two of
the following Travel Services in a single booking with us, where the arrangement covers a period of more than 24
hours or includes overnight accommodation.
• Transport
• Accommodation
• Hire of motor vehicles
• Other tourist services
In the case of where you are buying a mixture which involves 'other tourist services' and only one of (a), (b)
or (c) above, then this will only be a Package if the 'other tourist services';
• Are not necessary to (a), (b) or (c) above.
• Are not bought after the start of the performance of (a), (b) or (c) above and
• If unless it accounts for a vital proportion of the value of the Package, or otherwise serves an essential
feature of the Package.
Meanwhile, once you book a Package, we will continuously be acting as an agent or sub-agent in the way described
above. For this reason, you will still be entering into different contracts with the Service Provider(s) or
principal supplier(s) of each specific Travel Service. This is regarded as a “Multi-Contract Package” in your
ATOL Certificate.
Please understand that Packages on our site are not identical to conventional pre-packaged holidays where the
Travel Services are customarily pre-selected by a tour operator or travel company. Through our booking platform,
you will be responsible to select each Travel Service yourself. Together, your selections and contracts with the
Service Providers form a Package.
3.2 Please understand that Packages on our site are not identical to conventional pre-packaged holidays where
the Travel Services are customarily pre-selected by a tour operator or travel company. Through our booking
platform, you will be responsible to select each Travel Service yourself. Together, your selections and
contracts with the Service Providers form a Package.
However, because we help you organise the Package, the Package Travel Regulations (PTR) require us to assist you

request fail any component of these checks.

Some airlines will use the payment information provided by you to book the flight seats you require on their
behalf.
7.2 We accept no liability concerning any contract you enter into with the airline or their acts or omissions.
Before requesting that we book your flight, you should read these attentively. You specifically agree to the
conditions of this passage by making a booking for which we are acting as your agent.

paid to the airline in question. Please note that payment by you to us does not constitute payment to the

their liability to pay that money to you is discharged.
7.4 Charter flights: When you book your charter flight through us, we act as agents for the charter flight
provider who holds an ATOL. The contract will be between you and the charter flight provider based upon their
terms and conditions, a copy of which will be available to you prior to booking and is available on request.

passport, and health requirements (where given and applicable) is given solely on this basis.
30.3 Some of our Service Providers offer their low rates on the basis that customers are residents in the UK
and/or Ireland, and citizens of the country where the stay is taking place may not be eligible to stay at that
particular rate. This does not apply to citizens of EU countries staying in other EU countries in most
circumstances. However, issues may occur when customers are booked to stay in the country where the passport was
issued. For example, Turkish nationals in Turkey or Egyptian nationals in Egypt. We cannot be held responsible
for any additional costs incurred due to these issues. Service Providers may ask that we contact you prior to
the departure date to ask for evidence of the residency of the customers travelling. You must contact our Travel
Consultants in this instance within the stated timeframe with this information. For further information about
passports, go to https://www.gov.uk/browse/citizenship/passports
30.4 Transit visas: For transiting through a country with connecting flights, a transit visa is necessary in
several countries. If a transit visa is required for your trip, we will let you know. For the most up-to-date
information on visa entrance requirements, visit the UK government's foreign travel website.

30.5 An ESTA visa is required for all travel to and from the United States, as well as transiting the country;
an ETA visa is required for all travel to and from Australia/Canada, as well as transiting the country. Please
check if your flight has a path change that involves two different airports; it is your responsibility to
arrange for a transfer to the relevant airport and, if necessary, a transit visa. Travel to the United States is
subject to special rules, and all passengers must have their own machine-readable passports. Please check
https://uk.usembassy.gov/
30.6 Prior to departing on a European holiday, you need to have a completed and granted EHIC form.
30.7 Please be aware that if you are a United States citizen, tourist travel to Cuba remains prohibited. To
travel to Cuba, you must obtain a licence from the US Department of Treasury, or your travel must fall into one
of the 12 categories of authorised travel.
30.8 Please make sure to apply for Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) when travelling to Australia or Canada
or travelling via Australia or Canada. For further information please contact us as we can assist in the
application.
30.9 When travelling to New Zealand, a new travel requirement has been imposed for some visitors and transit
passengers. Passengers must apply for The New Zealand electronic travel authority (NZeTA) before departure. Its
approval can take up to 72 hours. It is important to note that valid documentation is required before boarding
your flight to New Zealand. Passengers may be denied boarding if they do not hold a valid NZeTA for travel to
New Zealand. Please visit the New Zealand government website for more information:

31. ACCOMMODATION RATINGS AND STANDARDS
31.1 After registering/checking in at your accommodation, you will be assigned a room. You must confirm the
check-in and check-out times with the Service Provider directly. Please keep in mind that just because rooms are
listed together on the same booking itinerary doesn't mean they'll be next to each other or otherwise close.
31.2 These requests are not guaranteed; nevertheless, you should check with the accommodation reception/front
desk at the time of check-in or contact them at least 72 hours before check-in to make sure. If these requests
are not approved, Oneworldtravels uk will not be held liable for any requests turned down.
32. BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE
32.1 The amount of free baggage supplied to passengers varies significantly from airline to airline and route to
route. The regular baggage allowance given by the airline is included in our rates. Your airline's booking rules
will specify the allowance you are entitled to. Some airlines may enable you to add more luggage after you've
made your reservation; this depends on the rules and restrictions of the specific airline you should consult.
32.2 When flying with an airline that charges for keeping luggage, it is not included or displayed in our
headline costs. You will be given the option to purchase this extra service at the time of booking. Should you
choose not to take any hold luggage on your trip, you will receive the standard hand luggage allowance as
detailed in the airline booking conditions.
32.3 For further information, please refer to the airline booking conditions. Please note that baggage allowance
for specific Visual Flight Rules, Promotional and Tour fares can differ. Please refer to your booking
confirmation for your confirmed baggage allowance.
33. ROOM ALLOCATION
33.1 After registration, you will be assigned a room when you arrive at your accommodation. You must confirm the
check-in and check-out timings with your accommodation provider directly. Any local taxes and penalties must be
paid to your hotel provider in advance at check-out.
33.2 We do not guarantee these requests; however, we encourage you to check with the accommodation
reception/front desk at the time of check-in or contact them at least 72 hours before check-in to be sure. If
these requests are not accepted, Oneworldtravels uk will not be liable for such denied requests.
33.3 Some hotels have certain regulations that operate on a per-room basis. Please note that according to these
regulations, you will not be permitted to use some hotel amenities such as restaurants, swimming pools, play
areas, etc.
34. BUILDING WORK
34.1 At a hotel, renovations and refurbishments and the noise they cause are unavoidable from time to time. If
we become aware of such works, we will notify you before you make your reservation or within a reasonable time
after we become aware of them.
35. INSOLVENCY PROTECTION
35.1 We provide complete financial protection for our flight-inclusive Package, and ATOL protected flight-only
sales by way of our Air Travel Organiser's Licence issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, Gatwick Airport
South, West Sussex, RH6 0YR, UK, telephone +44 (0)333 103 6350, email claims@caa.co.uk.
35.2 You will obtain an ATOL Certificate when you purchase an ATOL-protected flight or flight-inclusive package
from us. This section explains what is financially covered, where you can receive further information, and who
to contact if you need to file a claim.
35.3 In some cases, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable
option (at no extra cost to you). You agree to pay any outstanding money to be paid by you under your contract
to that alternative. In these cases, you will be entitled to claim under the ATOL scheme or your credit card
issuer where applicable.
35.4 If we, or the suppliers named on your ATOL certificate, become insolvent, we will be unable to offer the
services listed (or a suitable alternative, via another ATOL holder or otherwise). The Trustees of the Air
Travel Trust may pay you (or provide you with a benefit) under the ATOL scheme in that case.
35.5 You agree that in exchange for such a payment or benefit, you will assign to those Trustees any and all
claims you may have arising out of or related to the non-provision of services, including any claim against us,
the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable).
35.6 You further accept that any such claims may be allocated to another body if that other body has paid the
ATOL scheme monies you have claimed.
36. CHARGEBACKS AND CLAIMS AGAINST SERVICE PROVIDERS
36.1 Unless such rights have arisen under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, you agree not to issue any
chargebacks or otherwise dispute transactions with your payment card issuer against us (“Chargeback”). Rather,
your rights to refunds and other claims shall be governed solely by these Terms and Conditions.
36.2 You agree that if you initiate a Chargeback (including under section 75) or make a demand for payment from
a Service Provider (which may be satisfied by the payment of cash, issue of vouchers or as otherwise agreed
between you and the Service Provider) we shall be entitled to take such steps as we consider reasonable to
ensure that you are not paid twice for the same claim.
37. BREXIT
37.1 For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Force Majeure” means any event beyond our or the Service
Provider’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had
been taken.
37.2 Certain Travel Services may be affected due to the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union
and the end of the transition period relating to Brexit. This can include unavailability of some flight routes,
problems with access to certain ports and airports and changes to the visa requirements of British citizens
travelling to, within or through European Union Member States.
37.3 While we will monitor the situation, if we become aware of any bookings that will be affected by such
measures, as all such measures are outside our control, we would treat any such changes as Force Majeure. We
will endeavour to provide suitable alternative arrangements or refunds where possible, and we will not be liable
to pay any compensation.
38. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
38.1 The Terms and Conditions set in the complete agreement and understanding between you and us in connection
with your booking supersede any prior representations, agreements, conditions, negotiations, and undertakings
made orally or in writing.
39. LAW AND JURISDICTION

Conditions must be resolved by the English and Welsh courts (unless you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland,
bring proceedings to your local court under Scottish or Northern Irish law, as applicable).
