By making any booking, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Booking Terms and Conditions.
We will rely on the authority of the person making the booking to act on behalf of any other traveler on the booking (regardless of whether other travelers have made separate payments) and that person will bind all such travelers to these Booking Terms and Conditions.
PASSPORTS & VISAS
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have valid Passports, Visas and Re-Entry permits which meet the requirements of Immigration and other government authorities. Generally, most countries require six-month validity on your Passport from the date of entry back to Australia. When assisting with an international travel booking, we will assume that all travelers on the booking have a valid Australian passport which is valid for the relevant destination and transit point. If this is not the case, you must let us know.
If travelling to the United States of America, you will need to apply online for a United States Visa Waiver (ESTA). Please refer to:

If travelling to Canada, you will need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Please refer to:

SUPPLIER CHANGE & CANCELLATION FEES
