Payment: A non-refundable deposit is payable within seven days of confirmation of your booking: • domestic (within Australia) $55 per person • international $165 per person • plus any additional deposit required by suppliers (you will be notified at the time of booking) Payment of the balance in full is required at least 30 days before the scheduled commencement of your holiday (or earlier if specified for the particular package). For bookings made within this period, full payment is required at the time of booking. If you have not paid by the due date, we may cancel your booking and retain your deposit. Cancellations: If you cancel your booking, the amount of your deposit will not be refunded, including deposits required by suppliers. If you have paid the balance of your holiday price, suppliers may also impose cancellation fees amounting to all or part of the total price paid. Once your holiday has commenced, you cannot cancel or obtain a refund on any component of your booking regardless of whether you use it. Changes by you: If you change your holiday package and your documents need to be reissued, a change fee is payable at the time of the change: • domestic (within Australia) $27 • international $25 • plus any cancellation / change fee imposed by suppliers for any component you cancel. Unforseen changes: If we have to change any part of your booking, for example, if an airline changes its schedules or your chosen accommodation is no longer available, or if there is an increase in the price due to additional taxes or supplier charges, we will notify you. You will have the option of cancelling your booking, in which case we will refund the amount you have paid, less any cancellation fees imposed by other suppliers.
