This is contingent upon the feasibility of adjusting certain bookings made under your name. However, it is important to note that any outstanding balance payment must also be settled to facilitate the transfer

10. Changes to your confirmed trip

Modifications to your confirmed trip may be considered based on practicalities and availabilities, although there could be associated costs with these changes. We do not impose an amendment fee and will solely pass on any additional expenses incurred in offering additional or alternative services. If there is a change in holiday dates, it will typically be treated as a cancellation of the original booking followed by a rebooking. Changes might lead to the recalculation of the holiday price if, for instance, the basis on which the price of the original holiday was determined has changed.

11. The Itinerary Is a Guide

The itinerary serves as a guide that we will endeavor to follow, but there may be instances where it becomes necessary to make short-notice alterations due to circumstances or events beyond our control. These could include adverse weather conditions, road conditions, or situations amounting to force majeure. Additionally, changes may be necessitated by operating conditions imposed by owners and operators of accommodation, facilities, and transport. We strive to keep your itinerary consistent in content to the best of our ability, unless circumstances beyond our control make it impossible. If weather conditions result in additional costs such as accommodation, transportation, and meals, we will collaboratively determine how to handle these expenses.
