Your Financial Protection
"Book with Confidence. We are a Member of ABTA which means you have the benefit of ABTA’s assistance and Code of Conduct. All the package and Flight-Plus holidays we sell are covered by a scheme protecting your money if the supplier fails. Other services such as hotels or flights on their own may not be protected and you should ask us what protection is available". Click to check "Financial Protection"
When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong.

We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). The payment will be shown in your bank statement or credit card statement as btpayment.com
If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, airlines may find it necessary to alter the published routing. This may be a last minute change or can even occur during the flight to/from your destination.
Flight timings may also change. Should this occur, and if we are able, we will inform you as soon as we are made aware of any changes to the previously confirmed timings given to us by the airlines.
If there are long transits such as overnight stays at airport these are the responsibility of the passenger, and neither traveasy, or the carrier concerned will be liable to provide accommodation or meals for the duration of the transit period.

Amendments
Whilst we do our utmost to accommodate any changes that you may make after receiving your contract, such changes are subject to availability and where permitted by the carrier. These changes attract administration fees plus any additional costs which the airlines or hotels charge. If the travel arrangements have been "issued" on "non-changeable" special fares, we will not be able to make any modifications to your travel itinerary, name changes or departure changes are not always permitted by the carrier and may be treated by them as cancellations and charged accordingly. If airline tickets have been issued in this instance, any changes made to the booking may mean that you will have to pay for the cancelled ticket and purchase a new ticket at full cost.

Aviation Security Charge
We have included in our prices a charge representing the extra aircraft insurance and security costs which have been imposed on airlines and tour operators to the basic price of your flight or holiday. Since these costs are beyond our control, we reserve the right to increase the amount of this charge at any time. We will of course inform you of such any such change should it become necessary.

Behaviour
You will not be entitled to a refund if you are prevented from travelling by any person in authority who feels that you are unfit to travel or likely to disturb other passengers. We also reserve the right to end your holiday if your behaviour causes distress or damage to other passengers, employees or guests at your accommodation . In these circumstances you will not be refunded or compensated in any way and we may recover costs incurred as a result of your behaviour.

Cancellation by Passenger
Most airlines and hotels will have a cancellation policy which can vary from partial refund to no refund. Traveasy will make an administration charge if a refund is requested due to cancellation of flights / hotels for services provided. You can find out the cancellation charges by emailing info@traveasy.com. Refunds may take up to 6 weeks to process.

Cancellation by Traveasy
We reserve the right to amend your booking other than where there is a Major Change at any time. Most of these changes are minor and we will advise you at the earlier possible date. If we have to make a Major Change we will inform you at the earliest possible date.

When you travel by air, sea or rail, your journey may be subject to certain international Conventions such as the Warsaw Convention and Montreal Convention (international carriage by air), the Athens Convention (international carriage by sea) or COTIF (international carriage by rail), as such conventions are amended or re-enacted from time to time. You agree that the operating carrier or transport company's own "Conditions of Carriage" will apply to you on that journey. When arranging this transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions and those "Conditions of Carriage". You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those "Conditions of Carriage" form part of your contract with us as well as the transport company and they are deemed to be included by reference into this contract.

Data Protection Policy

However, we must pass it to suppliers of your travel arrangements, including airlines, hotels and transport companies. We may also supply it to security or credit checking companies and to public authorities such as customs and immigration. If your trip is outside the European Economic Area (EEA) controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strict as in the UK. We will only pass data including sensitive information regarding disabilities or dietary and religious requirements to people responsible for your travel arrangements.

You must check that the flight shown on the invoice is the one you wish to take. We are responsible for providing the flight that we have confirmed to you. If you cancel or alter your booking later you may have to pay an additional charge. If you book within seven (7) days of your departure date or if there is insufficient time to send written confirmation to you a contract between us will exist upon our (or your Travel Agent) confirming the booking.

Seating on the aircraft cannot be guaranteed before departure (check airline website for seating regulations as some airlines have a charge for pre-booked seats). The hotel room location cannot be guaranteed before departure and is only available at check-in. traveasy.com is acting as an agent of the travel provider of flights and any ancillary products such as hotels, car transfers, which are purchased from authorised resellers or the operator.

Flights and Flight Routings
Flights on our programme are arranged with reputable airlines. Should delays or cancellations occur, the airline would normally provide refreshments, meals and if necessary accommodation. We do not provide such services at the point of departure or at the point of return to the UK. Any claim relating to such events must be made directly to the airline. A direct flight is a flight where there is no change of aircraft en route, but stops are possible, as the aircraft may need to refuel or allow other passengers to join or leave the aircraft. A non-stop flight travels from the origin to the destination without stopping. Where a flight is shown to travel via other destinations, at least one change of aircraft is necessary en-route.
