(“the Company”, or “Us” or “We”) registered in England & Wales with Co. No. 2697756 and business office at 362-368 Rayners Lane, Pinner, Middlesex HA5 5EE, and are made pursuant to these conditions.

You must pay the balance by the due date shown on the confirmation invoice. Please note for some telephone bookings full payment may be required IMMEDIATELY, i.e. before you receive our confirmation invoice. If this applies, you will be advised of this when the booking is made. It is very important that you pay balances when due, as failure to do so may lead to the cancellation of your holiday/flights and still leave you liable to pay cancellation charges. Where an extra booking charge applies this will have been advised at the time of booking. Until full payment has been received, the price of your booking may increase as a result of fuel or other surcharges which may be imposed by suppliers.
The traveller is responsible for the following:
All flight times specified are local. Next-day arrivals are indicated with "+1" on the timetable. The stated flight times are preliminary and subject to change with short notice. The traveller must therefore stay in line with any updates of the flight schedule themselves. Please note that a flight described in your flight as "direct" will not necessarily be non-stop. All departure/arrival times on your flight ticket are provided by the airlines concerned and are estimates only. They may change due to air traffic control restrictions, weather conditions, operational/maintenance requirements, and the requirement for passengers to check in on time. We are unable to make any special arrangements for you if you are delayed; these matters are at the sole discretion of the airline concerned.
If you have any special requests, please advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to pass any such requests on to the relevant supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee that any request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part. If you have any medical problem or disability which may affect your arrangements, you must advise us in writing before the booking, giving full details. If we feel unable to properly accommodate your particular needs, we reserve the right to decline/cancel your booking.
You can add your frequent flyer number at the time of booking. We register the details in the booking, but accept no responsibility for points or bonuses with the applicable airline. Not all flight are eligible to points or bonuses, and such information is always to be requested from the airline.
Children between the ages of 0 and 2 will travel as infants, and will not be allocated a seat of their own. A child ticket must be booked for the entire trip if the infant reaches the age of 2 before the end of the trip. Infant tickets cannot be booked before birth, as the correct name and date of birth must match those stated in the passport. A1 Flight Group will not reimburse any expenses arising if the wrong type of ticket has been booked.
The ticket price shown is inclusive of airport taxes. A departure tax must be paid in cash on departure from some airports. It is the responsibility of the traveller to check this information.
Ground transport and overnight accommodation during your trip are not included in the ticket price. The traveller is responsible for checking timetables and prices. This is also applicable in the event of any changes to the airlines' timetables, which are beyond our control.
Airlines may alter their timetables and cancel flights at short notice. Such alterations are beyond the control of A1 Flight Group. The traveller is personally responsible for checking the times of the departing and return flights directly via the airlines. Should your flight be cancelled, your rights and remedies will be governed by the airline's conditions of carriage. As a result you may be entitled to:
It is not possible to arrange flights for expectant mothers who will be in excess of 28 weeks of pregnancy on their date of return to the UK. Regardless of this, women should consult with their doctor to establish whether it is safe for them to fly.
It is strongly recommended that you have adequate travel insurance for the holiday. You may take the holiday insurance offered by us, or arrange it independently. The insurance cover must include cancellation charges, unexpected curtailment of your holiday, medical and repatriation expenses (including air ambulance), personal accident, delay loss or damage to your personal effects. When arranging insurance from a source other than offered by us, you must provide us with written details of the policy and sign an indemnity form on behalf of yourself and all members of your party absolving us and our overseas agents /representatives, of any liability for any costs that may arise which otherwise would have been met by the insurance claim.
We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, transport companies, etc. The information may also be provided to security or credit checking companies, public authorities such as customs and immigration if required by them, or as required by law.
In spite of detailed planning, it is recognised that occasionally problems do occur. If you incur any problems during your trip, it is essential that you bring them to the attention of the supplier and our agent or staff as soon as it occurs to give us a chance to investigate and rectify. In most instances, any necessary remedial action may be taken immediately and your holiday should continue unspoilt. If the problem cannot be rectified, you must contact us, in writing, within seven days of your return. If you do not raise the matter during your trip, this will affect any later claim you may make.
Regretfully, we must point out that some travel destinations are not suitable for the disabled. If you are disabled we suggest you check that the destination you are travelling to will be suitable for your needs.
We reserve the right to randomly record telephone calls to ensure that our customer service is constantly reviewed.
A1flightgroup is a fully bonded travel & tour Operator licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
We hold an Air Travel Organiser's Licence issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (ATOL number 4568). When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday* from us, you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists the flight, accommodation, car hire and/or other services that are 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 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 flights and flight-inclusive holidays we arrange are ATOL protected providing they are made available in the UK. For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk.
