1. YOUR
CONTRACT
A 'booking' means any order for products you make on our Site which is
accepted by us. Acceptance will be made by Aerolex and a contract
concluded when we have received full payment from you and sent a
confirmation email from Aerolex. All travel products featured on the
Site are subject to availability.
AEROLEX STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TAKE OUT ADEQUATE INSURANCE FOR YOUR ENTIRE HOLIDAY.
Flights
Please note that in
relation to air fares there are additional terms specific to that fare.
For example, 'economy restricted' tickets are normally non-changeable
and non-refundable. Flights must be used in the order set out in
your itinerary - eg a failure to use the outbound flight or first stage
of a journey could invalidate the rest of the ticket.
Please note that, in relation to flight tickets, the recommended minimum
check-in time is 3 hours prior to departure for international flights
and 90 minutes for domestic flights. Some airlines require you
to reconfirm your return flight booking at least 72 hours before travel.
Failure to reconfirm your flight booking directly with the airline may
result in cancellation.
In addition, the
majority of airlines reserve the right to make schedule changes and
cancel confirmed bookings. While Aerolex, as Agent, is not responsible
for such schedule changes or cancellations, we will provide you with any
reasonable assistance you require via our customer services.
We strongly
recommend (particularly if you are flying economy class), that you check
in early if you have particular seat requests. Aerolex has no control
over the allocation of seats, even if pre-booked with the airline, and
can make no guarantee that specific seats will be available on
departure.
Aerolex is not responsible for the costs of any transfers between
airports or terminals that you may incur.
Flights priced at
special fares or best prices may not take the most direct route. Some
itineraries require a change of aircraft en-route. A flight that is
described as direct is one where there is no need to change aircraft
during the journey. However, stops may be made en-route for re-fuelling
or to let passengers on and/or off.
The times given are
given on the 24 hour clock system, approximate and based on outbound
flights. They may vary depending on flight schedules, type of aircraft,
weather conditions etc., and are indications of the hours spent actually
flying (excluding time on the ground during stops en-route or when
changing aircraft) and are therefore given for guidance only and are
subject to alteration and confirmation.
Regulations vary
with each airline, but some will refuse to carry women who will be 28
weeks or more pregnant on the date of return travel. If in doubt, please
check with the airline concerned and consult your doctor. Infants must
be 6 weeks old or more to travel by air and must either sit on an
adult's lap or occupy an infant seat. Please contact the airline you are
travelling with for details of appropriate seats. Generally children
aged 2 years or more must occupy a seat.
General
As part of the
booking process for flight tickets you are given the option to enter the
details of any relevant frequent flyer programme of which you are a
member. Please note that any such frequent flyer programme is subject to
the terms and conditions of the airline through which it is offered.
Those terms and conditions may not give rewards on all types of fare and
class of service. Please contact the airline in charge of your frequent
flyer programme if you are unsure of its terms and conditions.
In relation to the
'special requests' options relating to any product
(e.g. meals, disabled facilities, child seats etc.), Aerolex does not
guarantee any such requests but will pass these requests on to the
Airlines. It is your responsibility to confirm with the Airlines
whether such special requests can be fulfilled.
2. DELIVERY
OF YOUR TICKET
E-TICKETS
The ticket will be
sent to you via e-mail.
Aerolex rely on the
information that you provide as being accurate and therefore cannot be
held responsible if your e-ticket does not arrive due to an incorrect
email address or your junk email settings. You must notify us
immediately if you change your email address or contact telephone
number. In addition, please check that the name on your
passport matches the name on your ticket and/or booking confirmation.
In exceptional
circumstances, Aerolex may not be able to issue airline tickets for
confirmed bookings due to ticketing restrictions outside its control. If
this occurs we will attempt to notify you within 24 hours of
confirmation and organise a refund or arrange an alternative. Where you
choose an alternative and it is more expensive than your original
booking, you may be responsible for paying the difference.
Please note that
you may be required to produce your booking number and/or confirmation
email to the relevant Airlines as evidence of your booking.
3.
CANCELLATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS BY YOU TO YOUR BOOKING
The following
applies to all tickets booked via our Site:
Your ability to
cancel or modify a booked travel product, and the method for doing so,
will depend on the specific Airline's terms and conditions. It therefore
may not be possible to cancel or modify your tickets or there may be
specific requirements you will have to meet.
For flight
bookings, you can possibly cancel or modify your booking by telephoning
the Aerolex call centre on +44 (0) 207 375 1302 or emailing
them to sales@aerolex.co.uk. In some circumstances, Aerolex may not be
able to cancel or modify a travel product or service unless we receive a
written request together with payment of any extra fees and associated
charges. Please note that, in relation to flights, a 'no-show' for a
flight may result in your ticket being cancelled by the airline and
therefore not refundable. Consequently, if you desire to change a flight
booking close to the departure time, we strongly recommend that you
phone Aerolex and obtain written email confirmation to that change
before electing not to travel on the original flight. In the event that
you make any alteration to your booking (including, but not limited to,
cancellations, refunds, amendments and name changes), Aerolex reserves
the right to charge you an administration fee of £25 GBP per person to
cover the administration costs incurred by Aerolex. These charges do not
include any charges imposed directly by Airlines. Credit card fees and
booking fees are non-refundable in the event of cancellation.
If you have used an
e-voucher or received a discount when making a booking on the Site, you
agree that you have read and accept the e-voucher or discount terms and
conditions. Should you make any change to a confirmed booking which was
originally made using an e-voucher or discount that e-voucher/discount
will become invalid and you may be charged an amount equal to the value
of the e-voucher/discount used.
4. PAYMENT
Full payment for
all ticket is required at the time of issuing the ticket. The card
holder must be a traveller in that booking for which the payment has
been made. Third party credit card payment is not allowed for your
booking.
Before payment is
received in full, Aerolex is not obliged to issue any tickets,
confirmations, vouchers, or other travel documents. However, you shall
in all cases remain liable for payment of the amounts agreed for the
travel products and services ordered. Aerolex is an IATA Ticketing Agent
- your tickets for scheduled flights will be sent to you within 24 hours
of payment being accepted.
Payment can be made
by all major debit and credit cards (except American Express and Dinners
Card) as detailed on the Site. Aerolex reserves the right to charge you
in addition for any handling fees we incur in relation to bookings made
by credit card. You will be notified of the relevant charges at the time
of booking. Aerolex reserves the right to pass on any charges relating
to card charge backs.
Failure to supply the correct credit or debit card billing address
information may result in the cancellation of your booking, delays to
the issue of your tickets and may make the fare(s) subject to increase.
Please ensure that the billing address details you give match those on
your billing statement.
Further, in an
effort to minimise the effects of credit card fraud, we reserve the
right to carry out random checks, including checks of the electoral
roll, and may request you to either fax or post to us proof of your
address and a copy of the credit card and recent statement before
issuing any tickets.
REFUND:
Refunds will be
processed to the form of payment (card) used at the time of booking.
5.
PASSPORTS, VISAS AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
It is your duty to
check that you are holding valid passport and visa for the country you
are travelling.
Some overseas
countries have an immigration requirement that your passport is valid
for a minimum period after you enter that country, typically 6 months.
If your passport has less than a year to run, please ensure you have a
passport valid at least for the duration of your trip, although we
recommend that you ask the Passport Agency before you travel to make
sure. For further information about your UK passport and applications
for renewal please visit the UK Passport website at www.ukpa.gov.uk If
your passport is in its final year of validity, we advise you confirm
the requirements of the destination before making final travel plans.
The name on the passport must match the name on the ticket, otherwise
you may not be able to travel. If, after booking a holiday but before
travelling, any member of your party changes their name, e.g. as a
result of getting married, we must be notified immediately so that we
can try to make the necessary changes to your holiday documentation.
Also there could be a charge for that.
If you are not a
British citizen, you should contact your Embassy for information and
advice on the visa requirements of the countries you propose to visit.
Please note: Passport and visa regulations can change and you should
therefore check with the relevant embassy well in advance of travel. It
is your responsibility to be in possession of a valid passport and if
appropriate, a visa. It can often take some time to obtain a visa, so
you are advised to apply in plenty of time. We accept no responsibility
for customers who do not possess the correct documents.
It is your
responsibility to check and comply with any health requirements. We
recommend that British Citizens visit the 'Health Advice for Travellers'
section of the Department of Health's website at www.dh.gov.uk or speak
to their GP. Non-British Citizens should make enquiries at their own
country's Department of Health or similar advisory body.
