How to Choose Your Holiday


How to choose your holiday? Holidays provide an essential opportunity to refresh ourselves and escape our demanding schedules. Therefore holidays need to be chosen carefully so that you have pleasant memories. We have given on the right page 2 broad classifications of any holiday, based on where, with whom and with how many people you wish to take your holiday. Holidays or Tours can be broadly classified in Group Tours (package tours) Individual Tours (tailormade, or customised tours) Based on these its easier to decide which is suitable to you based on what type of a person you are. We will take you briefly through some of the key benefits of each type of holiday to make it easier for you to make a well informed choice. Group Tours This type of tour has carefully planned itineraries and a well balanced mix of essential sightseeing, planned activities, coupled with meals. An experienced tour director accompanies the group and manages all the arrangements, so that the guests can have unlimited fun and take back happy memories. Group Tours - Advantages Get Great Value for Money tours. Enjoy the cost benefit which accrues because of bulk buying discounts from all suppliers. Avoid travelling alone. Get security for you and your family in unknown destinations. When you travel in a group, you have other co-travelers and the tour manager who can help in case of an emergency. It is possible to estimate the actual total cost of the holiday well in advance. You get a chance to meet different people of varied cultures and interests on the tour. No advance planning for the routes. Everything is booked. An Efficient way to visit all must see spots. While you may spend less time in one location, youll see a greater range of sights than you probably would travelling on your own. You do not have to worry about anything as the tour manager takes care of everything. Individual Tours - Advantages Offers total flexibility in terms of choice of itinerary, time, cuisine, sightseeing and accommodation to suit your budget and your taste. Follow your own time. You can choose your own travel companions, be it family or friends. There are indepth opportunities to explore places in terms of sightseeing and learning about the culture of those places. Experience the trip based on your likes, dislikes and interests. You can be creative in planning your itinerary. For example you could choose a self-drive holiday In Australia, with scuba diving and bungee jumping added. You do not mind spending that little extra to enjoy the holiday to its fullest. For example you may hire a private vehicle and pay extra for an additional day.

Individual Tours Individual Tours (also known Tailormade or Customized Tours) are designed to enable you to enjoy complete freedom. Everything regarding your holiday is Tailormade depending on your individual requirements, tastes and budget. You can buy complete packages or just components of a package amongst other services. eg. only accommodation, sightseeing.

Now that you have a clear understanding of the different types of holiday options available, you will be better equipped to make a choice that best fits your likes and requirements. We have given you a simple grid of the different types of holidays that Cox & Kings sells under Group and Individual tours to help you select your choice. Bon voyage !

BAGGAGe on CoACH Please note that porterage is not included in the tour price, unless specified otherwise. It is often difficult to get porters to assist as hotels may or may not provide this service and it is therefore advisable to use bags with wheels. Coaches have limited space for luggage. Therefore, we permit only one suitcase and one handbag per person

in the coach. The suitcase should be of a size of 158 cms. (width + length + height).We would request you to make separate arrangements to store any extra baggage you would carry on tour. CoACHes Since most of your travel in different tours around the world will be by road, for your comfort we have carefully chosen air-conditioned modern coaches for travel. However in the UK, air-cooled coaches are used. There are long drives from one city to another and we provide frequent convenience stops to ensure that you have an opportunity to smoke, stretch your legs, or use the rest room facilities. In Europe, on certain days the average traveling time by coach is approximately 8 to 10 hours or more. Some of the motor coaches are equipped with in-built emergency washroom facilities. The word emergency is stressed upon because these facilities are not designed to be used as regular washrooms. Kindly use the convenience stops provided at regular intervals. We regret that in the interest of your fellow passengers, eating, smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages is strictly not permitted on the coach. It is in your interest to keep the coach neat and clean, so that you and your fellow passengers can be comfortable during your holiday. HoteLs Check-in and check-out timings differ from country to country and range between 1400 hrs 1600 hrs for checkin and between 1000 hrs 1200 hrs for check-out. While checking into the hotel, please follow the instructions of the Tour Manager. Sometimes due to high occupancy, hotel rooms might not be ready, in which case we request you to wait patiently. You have the option of reserving a room from the previous day, though at an extra cost. Hotel rooms around the world have facilities like a mini-bar, pay television channels, which have to be paid for as per usage. Some hotels offer safe deposit lockers. We would recommend that you make use of them. Unlike other countries, most hotels across Europe do not have air-conditioners / fans due to climatic conditions. Please note any damage to your room will be charged to you directly by the hotel. We request you to occupy the

designated dining areas for our group in certain hotels. RooMs / CABIns We will try our best to provide you with adjacent/interconnecting rooms/cabins, however there is no guarantee and are subject to availability. Unlike other countries where the rooms are fairly spacious, European hotel rooms are small and can accommodate a maximum of three people. Triple rooms are not much bigger than a twin room, so it is advisable to get a separate bed for an accompanying minor. In some destinations, a triple room consists of one queen size double bed and one single bed. In case of requests for triple sharing, an extra bed will be provided for the third person at an extra cost, unless specified otherwise. oPtIonALs Every Cox & Kings tour comes with a few optional exclusives, just for you. The price of the optional tour includes the cost of transportation to and from the sightseeing place; the services of a local representative; administrative and communication charges for booking and our professional charges in addition to the entrance fees. Reservations and payments for optional tours can be made in India prior to departure. You can also pay on arrival on day one of your tour (in Euros in Europe) to the Cox & Kings Tour Manager. No credit card or Travellers Cheques payments will be accepted on tour. stoPoVeR PACKAGes / ADDItIonAL toUR Check out our exciting pre and post tour packages with great value at attractive prices. We also feature several exciting extension packages you can choose from, according to your budget and taste. You may also purchase an additional tour. For example USA with Europe. In this case, you will be responsible for arranging your own airport / hotel transfers.

V., paid toilets, porterage, room service, excess baggage charge, etc. as they are not included in the Brochure or Price Grid. If you avail any service which is not included in the tour package, then the payment for the same will have to be cleared by you directly. PUnCtUALItY The drivers are bound by restrictions concerning maximum driving hours per day and per week, and the itineraries are planned with regard to the same. It is therefore essential that the itineraries, schedules and timings are strictly adhered to by you so as to ensure that all the services can be duly provided. If you or any of your co-passengers miss any service due to impunctuality, there would be no refund for the same. This shall be applicable even on occasion when you are affected by your co-passengers lack of punctuality. tIPPInG Tipping is a way of life everywhere. Since your coach driver spends a large part of the day driving you safely, loads and unloads your luggage onto the coach; it is customary to tip him. It is mandatory that you tip Euro 2/in Europe per person per suitcase per day to the coach driver / porterage at hotel if required. Euro 2/- in Europe per person to each local guide.

YoU ARe ResPonsIBLe FoR YoUR DoCUMents AnD PossessIons All guests will have to take the risk and responsibility of all their baggage, belongings, currency, valuables, documents and personal effects (collectively 'baggage') at all times during the tour, whether during travel on the airline or during your stay in hotel or during travel in coaches, while on excursions or otherwise. If you forget to carry or if you lose essential travel documents such as passport, visa, tickets etc., you may be compelled to curtail the tour and you may have to incur extra expenses, for which you alone shall be responsible.

In case of airlines, we recommend that you declare your valuables to the airline at the time of check-in and pay an additional charge, as may be stipulated by the airline, to make the airline responsible for

Pearls of Wisdom

valuables. Without such declaration, airlines can invoke limitation of liability protections provided in international conventions and laws. If your baggage is lost or misplaced at any time during the course of your tour, it is your responsibility to take all appropriate actions to file complaints with the concerned authorities, including police, airline office etc. Please understand that as the Tour Manager is responsible for the whole group of tour participants, he may not be in a position to escort you to lodge a complaint with the authorities, as it could compromise the convenience and time of the group. Furthermore, tour managers / assistants / escorts are assisting the tourists throughout the tour and are not responsible for tourists' baggage or any kind of personal belongings. On the entire tour the tourists have to be responsible and carry the baggage on their own. Instructions as well as information of the tour are to be followed in the group tours and the tour manager / company is not responsible for any instructions not followed / overruled by the tourists and / or its consequences. tRAVeL DoCUMents You should carry your Cox & Kings service vouchers (if any), hotel contact list, airline tickets, your passport, passport-sized photographs, overseas travel insurance policy, emergency contact numbers, travellers cheques / foreign exchange pre-paid card, etc. with you. Please carry a photocopy of all the documents listed above including valid visa pages, which are to be kept separately from the original. Example: A photocopy in your suitcase and the original passport with you on person. Important: Keep one set of these documents with your family / relatives in India Carry one set with you on the tour in your handbag. Carry one set with you on the tour in your suitcase / check-in baggage. This is necessary should you lose or misplace any of your documents whilst on tour. If you are carrying Travellers Cheques, please keep the purchase receipt in a safe place, away from the original

Travellers Cheques. Your passport is required as identification to encash your travellers cheques. Most credit cards and US Dollar travellers cheques are widely accepted. PAssPoRt ReQUIReMent Bring the original passport at the time of booking. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the date of your return to India. All passports should have sufficient number of blank pages for the required visas. The passport and the pages inside should not be damaged / stapled / soiled / torn etc. Embassies / Consulates of few countries do not accept passports for visa processing if your passport is valid for more than 10 years. Also, for some countries the issue date on your passport should be after 1st April, 2011. VIsAs Please ensure you have the appropriate visas for going on the tour. Applying well in advance is always beneficial. In fact, in the current scenario it would be far more prudent to furnish all documents at least four months before the departure date to avoid disappointments. At the very least, it is your responsibility to promptly furnish to us all documents required for application of your visas etc. latest by 60 working days before the departure date. Given the security concerns and the cautious approach adopted by embassies and consulates, visa processing can take quite long. The processing time for visas varies according to the tour you have selected which depends on the number of countries you wish to visit. Embassies / Consulates are located in various cities and may require longer processing time. We assist you in preparing and submitting the visa application based on documents provided by you. We cannot take responsibility of getting your visa granted. Granting / rejection of visas is the sole discretion of embassy / consulate. We only act as a facilitator for providing visa guidance services. You may be required to appear personally before embassy / consulate for any interview(s) / providing biometrics. The Company cannot be held liable for rejection of visas and in such a case you will have to bear the visa costs, the visa facilitation services costs and assistance costs.

tRAWeLLtAG / AssIst WItH tRAVeL InsURAnCe Your travel insurance policy is an add on benefit to the TrawellTag / Assist product, which is included in our tour package and thus, you are entitled to travel insurance cover underwritten by the Oriental Insurance Company, for the normal duration of the tour and if you are not more than 70 years in age. Also, an additional charge may be payable if you wish to extend the tour for longer than normal tour duration. For passengers over 70 years of age, it is mandatory to undergo medical tests as prescribed by the insurance company. It must be noted that the contract is between the passenger and the Insurance Company where Cox & Kings are merely the facilitators. WHAt Do YoU MeAn BY Honest PRICes? In our 253 years of experience in the service of discerning customers like you, we at Cox & Kings firmly believe that every tour package we offer is always the best value in the market and that you the customer, should be able to Make A Choice rather than Accept Unconditionally. As a result, we have this unique system where we enable you to build your itinerary according to your needs. This allows you to add an exciting and sometimes exclusive optional to your tour and skip the other optionals. The advantage is that you can choose an optional that best suits your inclination and budget. In tours which have an all-inclusive tag, customers are compelled to participate in all the sightseeing. However at Cox & Kings we let you decide. For example, if in an itinerary there are five mountains that you can visit, you could take as many as five mountains or none at all. A family of four would have to pay almost Euros 2000 for five mountains. It is important that you feel empowered to pick and choose your optionals rather than be forced to pay a huge allinclusive price. With our policy of transparency you can decide how you would want your time and money to be spent. Thats Honest Prices from Cox & Kings at work for you.

when going for biometric scanning. All UK, USA and FRANCE visa applicants are required to provide biometric data as part of the application process. Children under the age of 5 (UK), 6 (FRANCE) and 14 (USA)* do not have to visit a Visa Application Centre to have their photographs and finger scans taken, but their photographs will need to be provided with the application form. Each time you apply for a UK and FRANCE visa you will need to have your fingers scanned and photograph taken. If you are a regular traveler to the UK, we recommend that you consider applying for a longer term visa. The procedure is simple and quick and should take less than 5 minutes. Visa procedures change from time to time and from country to country. * Children under the age of 14 applying for a visa to USA have to carry their Original Birth Certificate along with them, while applying for a visa at the US Consulate. 2.

Our role is only to assist you to submit a visa application which is correctly filled and signed by you. Embassies and Consulates have the sole jurisdiction and authority for granting Visas. Visas can take upto 2 to 3 months to be granted / returned. 3. WHY Is It neCessARY to ConFIRM seRVICes BeFoRe VIsAs ARe oBtAIneD? One of the mandatory requirements of the Consulates / High Commissions applying for tourist visas (in accordance to the visa rules of each country) is that the person / traveler applying for a tourist / visitor visa must have a valid confirmed return airline ticket reservation and confirmed hotel accommodation reservations. This is one of the many safeguards that the consulates take whilst issuing tourist / visitor visas so as to ensure that this is a genuine bonafide travel. 4. on WHAt BAsIs Is tHe VIsA GRAnteD oR RejeCteD oR DeCLIneD? It is the responsibility of the tourist

to ensure that all information filled in the visa forms is correct and genuine. The visa is issued by the consulate after it does all its background checks, the financial stability of the tourist, and after assessing the risk as to whether the tourist is likely to return to his home country or would illegally overstay / seek employment in a foreign country. Cox & Kings have no role whatsoever to play in granting or denial of visas because each traveler / tourist has his or her own circumstances and situation whereby they have to convince the visa interview officer of their genuine intentions. 5. WHAt ARe tHe noRMAL ReAsons oF VIsA RejeCtIons: Fraud documents No chance to reapply. Insufficient funds in account Passenger gets a chance to reapply while submitting good bank statement, can break investment done in FDR and transfer the fund to Saving account and enclose a letter from the bank for the same. sudden deposits Can reapply by giving explanation on letterhead and proof for fund transfer. not provided evidence of business Can reapply with business registration. not provided original documents such as Income tax Returns and bank statement Can reapply with original documents. Damaged passport In case visas are rejected by the consulates / embassies, you may consider re-application, provided we have sufficient time / working days prior to the departure of your selected tour date. 6. WHY ARe CAnCeLLAtIons CHARGeD IF VIsAs ARe RejeCteD? 1. If the tourist cancels his / her travel there are certain cancellation fees that apply such as the airlines, hotels and cruises cancellation fees which then have to be passed on to the traveler. As explained earlier Consulates require confirmed tickets, hotels and insurance prior to accepting the visa application. Granting / rejection of visas is the sole discretion of embassy / consulate. We only act as a facilitator for providing visa guidance services.

2. Cox & Kings has to bear certain administrative, processing and other expenses that are required to be made for making these reservations for the traveler. These cancellation charges shall apply irrespective of the reason for cancellation. These charges are the genuine pre - estimate of the damages that we will suffer on account of cancellation and are payable without proof of actual damages. Hence, it is important before booking your holiday tour package to study the cancellation policy and the cancellation charges that would apply once you book tour package. Also please note that Consulates / Embassies have their own visa application processing fees and visa fees which too have to be paid in advance at the time of submitting your visa application. In most cases there is no refund of any part of the visa fees or the visa application processing fees returned, if the tourists visa application is rejected by the consulate. In fact, many a time due to cancellation, Cox & Kings suffer losses because sometimes the cancellation is done at a time of holiday rush and the supplier such as the hoteliers, airlines and cruises have a 100% cancellation charge. You expressly agree to abide by the foregoing Terms & Conditions and Cancellation Policy. 3. In group tours the advantage of a group tour is the reduced tour price due to the numbers of a group which facilitates collective buying. When there are cancellations, the numbers of the group reduce and it is too late to fill the vacant seats and the cost per tourist member on the group increases as the number of travelling passengers are reduced. It is not possible to penalize the remaining travelling members of the group for your visa rejection. In view of the above explained reasons, cancellation fees are charged in case visas are rejected by the consulates / embassies. The Company cannot be held responsible / liable for such rejection of visas, unless there is a manifest error committed by the Company.

The costs of processing the above travel documents are not included in your Tour Cost except for your mediclaim. VISA It is necessary for you to ensure that you have the appropriate passport, which is valid for at least six months after the date of departure of your tour. Furthermore, you will be required to take the appropriate visas for going on the tour. We provide you visa guidance services for which we will charge you. Such charges may include not only the actual visa charge and costs incurred but also our service charge. Please note that UK and USA visa will have to be obtained by you directly; however we may assist you in preparing and submitting the visa application based on documents provided by you. Even if you do not get your visa, you shall be liable to pay the applicable charges. If you already possess a visa or wish to do the visa / s on your own, you would be entitled only for the refund of actual visa / s cost and the portion of charges attributable to our service charges will still have to be paid by you. It is your responsibility to promptly furnish to us all documents required for application of your visas etc. latest 60 days before the departure date. It is your responsibility to properly fill in the visa application form. In fact, in the current scenario it would be far more prudent to furnish all documents at least four months before the departure date. Given the security concerns and the over-cautious approach adopted by embassies and consulates, visa processing can take quite long. Please note that we may receive documents submitted late but we are not responsible or liable for rejection or non-receipt of visas due to inadequate or late submissions. You are required to furnish only genuine and valid documentation. Granting / rejection of visas is the sole discretion of embassy / consulate. We only act as a facilitator for obtaining visas. You may be required to appear personally before the embassy / consulate for any interview(s) / providing biometrics. The Company shall under no circumstance be held liable for such rejection of visas and any other incidental or consequential loss, damage, cost or expense etc. Expressly on the aforesaid conditions, you have approached the company for the purpose of facilitating visa guidance services. We would not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for any clerical error done by the concerned embassy / consulate regarding the name, attachment of wrong photograph, duration and type of visa (single / multiple entry) or passport

We will not be responsible for any loss or damage whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential caused due to transmission delays or loss of passport or documents in the course of transmission of documents by us to the embassy or to you or in the course of transmission of documents by the embassy / consulate to us. We would however, make best attempts to trace your documents or assist you in obtaining alternative / certified copies of the lost documents. If you are unable to travel on the tour originally booked by you because either you could not get your visa in time or due to an error of the part of the embassy / consulate, an incorrect visa is issued to you, you shall have the option to postpone your tour to any other future date or transfer your tour to any other tour and in such case the amendment fee for the same shall apply, in addition to cancellation charges. Please note that if the rejection of visa is intimated by the embassy / consulate within the cancellation period specified in the section titled CANCELLATION OF BOOKING BY YOU then the cancellation charges as appearing in that section would apply. Please further note that for the purpose of ascertaining the applicable cancellation rates, the cancellation would be deemed to have been made on the date we receive intimation of visa rejection from the consulate / embassy. Should you choose to re-apply after visa rejection, then you shall do so at your own risk and cost. If the visa is rejected a second time, the applicable cancellation rates shall be based on the date of receipt of intimation of the rejection of second visa application and so the charges will be much higher than the rates which would have applied on the first rejection. Should we not receive any intimation from the consulate / embassy either accepting or rejecting a visa application before the departure date of your tour, the maximum cancellation charges shall apply. It is made clear that the cancellation charges shall apply in addition to the retention of visa service charges.

Therefore, please carefully note that: (1) You will need to adhere to the conditions, rules and regulations of each service provider. For instance, you will need to check the baggage rules of the airline to understand what kind of baggage and how much baggage you can carry. You will need to check the hotel rules to check what the mealtimes are, at which you should make yourself available. The company is not responsible for the consequences if you breach such rules and regulations; (2) If you cause any injury or damage affecting the service provider, then you may be liable to the service provider and if the service provider recovers any monies from us for such injury or damages, we shall separately charge you for the same; (3) We cannot be held responsible for any delay, deficiency, injury, death, loss or damage occasioned due to act or default of such service providers, their employees or agents. MEALS Please refer to the itinerary in the brochure / website for details of the meals which would be served to you on the tour. Unlike an airline, we cannot process a special meal, nor can we guarantee a special diet. The same is at the sole discretion of the service provider. We do not assure special meals or special timings or extra halts for infants, children, or passengers with diabetes, cholesterol, high blood pressure or any other condition. If you have any such special requirements arising from medical conditions or from the needs of your children or otherwise, it would be advisable to travel on a customized tour and coach tours are not recommended. We, however, reserve the right to change the meal arrangement, where circumstances compel us to do so. At some places a meal allowance may be paid to you at our discretion to enable you to have a meal of your own choice. HOTELS The Company selects hotels for your stay at locations, which give comfort and value for money. For various reasons, such as reducing the overall traveling time on the coach for the following day, the hotels may be chosen away from the city centre. Unlike other countries, most hotels in Europe do not have air conditioners or fans. Modern facilities such as attached toilets with showers / bathtubs are provided. We cannot guarantee the availability of adjoining rooms / interconnecting rooms / non-smoking room / rooms on the same floor etc. Hotels in Europe may / may not have room service facilities. The check in time is usually 2 p.m. and check out time is usually 11 a.m. In Australia, the check in time is 12 noon and the check out time is 10 a.m. In certain hotels like Genting Resorts, though the check in time is 2:00 pm, you may have to wait for some hours till the rooms are cleared. The same is subject to change from time to time. If you seek a change in rooming while on a tour, the same will be subject to availability and you will need to pay any additional charges as may be applicable. Please note that hotels in Europe can have exceptionally small rooms unlike what you may have experienced in other countries. Single Accommodation In case you book on a single occupancy basis, you will have to pay a single room supplement unless another tour participant is willing to share your room. You shall also be liable to pay the single room supplement if earlier having booked on a shared room basis, you later have to take the room on single occupancy basis since your intended room partner has either dropped out of the tour for any reason or since you and / or your room partner are no longer willing to share a room. Note that the single room supplement will be charged in all cases where a booking on a shared room basis has to be changed to single room basis including the following: (i) Intended room partner was arranged by you (ii) Intended room partner was arranged by us for you. (iii) No room partner was found available for you. Double Twin Accomodation A double room has either a single queen-size bed or two separate beds. If you request for a room with a queen-size bed, the same would be provided subject to availability as most of the hotel rooms in Europe are twin-bedded. In case of nonavailability of a room with a queen-size bed, a twin bedded-room would be given. Triple Accomodation We recommend a maximum of only three persons in one room. Triple rooms are usually no larger than twin rooms and the third bed is often a rollaway bed or cot placed in a twin room. Children Accommodation A child travelling for whom without a bed charge has been paid would not be entitled to a separate bed in the hotel. In case with bed charge has been paid for the child and you decide not to avail such facility whilst on the tour, you would not be entitled to any refund. In case you decide to seek an extra bed for the child booked on without bed basis on

the tour, this will be provided subject to availability and you shall be bound to pay any additional amount charged by the concerned hotel directly. PRE / POST TOUR / ADD ON EXTENSION PACKAGES Pre / post tour accommodation / add on packages or extensions are available to you at special rates. You must ensure that you request your travel agent or your sales officer for the same at the time of booking your tour. COACH AND SEATING We generally engage air-conditioned / air-cooled luxury coaches but we are not responsible if the air-conditioning equipment malfunctions for any reason. On group tours, you are not allotted seat numbers as a seat rotation system is followed. You must follow the instructions of the Tour Manager in this regard. The average traveling time by coach is approximately 8 to 10 hours or more a day in Europe and 4 to 5 hours in U.S.A. under normal road conditions. Comfort stops are provided every 2-3 hours, after appropriate intervals. The foregoing timings are indicative only. Though some of the coaches are equipped with emergency washrooms, such a facility can be used only in case of a dire emergency. The coach drivers are bound by restrictions concerning maximum driving hours per day and per week and the itineraries are planned with regard to the same. It is therefore essential that the itineraries, schedules and timings are strictly adhered to by you so as to ensure that all the services can be duly provided. If you or any of your co-passengers misses any service due to unpunctuality, we shall not be liable to refund any amount. Further, we shall not be liable to refund any amount or pay any compensation / damages for any change in itinerary or for missing any service due to the unpunctuality or actions of your co-passengers. Please note that smoking, consumption of alcoholic beverages and snacks is strictly prohibited on coaches. Please keep the coach clean to avoid discomfort to yourself and other tour participants. Please take care not to leave behind any property in the coach while disembarking. The Company would not be responsible or liable in case of loss of such property under any circumstances. BAGGAGE ON COACH Please note that porterage is not included in the tour price. It is often difficult to get porters to assist as hotels may or may not provide this service and it is therefore advisable to use bags with wheels. Coaches have limited space for luggage
94 | Cox & Kings | Duniya Dekho | Winter 2012

and hence we permit only one suitcase and one handbag per person in the coach. The suitcase should be of a size of 158 cms. (width + length + height). AIRLINES We shall in no circumstances whatsoever be liable to you or any person travelling with you, for loss of baggage by the airline, failure to provide meal of your choice by the airline, denied boarding or down-gradation due to overbooking or any other reason, failure on the part of the airline to accommodate you despite having confirmed tickets, quality or quantity of meals offered by the airlines, flight delays or rescheduling, flight cancellation, changes of flight schedule or routing, change of airline mentioned at the time of booking etc. In these circumstances, we will not be liable for the injury, loss or inconvenience suffered by you but you will be free to pursue your remedies against the concerned airline. BAGGAGE ON AIRLINE Airlines have restrictions on the kind of baggage, number and weight of baggage that you can carry and you will need to carefully read and understand the rules and regulations of the airline, in this regard. Typically, weight restrictions on baggage for Economy Class is 20 Kg, for Business Class 30 kg and for First Class is 40 kg and one hand bag (cabin luggage) not exceeding 7 kg per person except for flights to USA and Canada, where the passengers are permitted to carry two pieces of checked-in baggage and one hand bag. In the case of low cost carriers are used by the Company during the tour, the permitted baggage allowance may be lower than what is mentioned above. Baggage is not included for internal flights in USA. One needs to pay for every piece of baggage checked in. The charges vary from US $ 25 to US $ 35 per bag. Please check with your sales staff for correct details. Please note that every airline has a different set of rules and regulations regarding the weight restrictions and furthermore, airlines keep changing the rules quite frequently. Hence, you are requested to please check the updated baggage rules of the individual airlines, with whom the ticket is booked. We are not liable, in any manner, if you are unable to carry any baggage or if you have to pay any extra-charges due to restrictions imposed by the airline. You shall be liable to pay all such charges directly to the airline. Also, we are not liable for any loss or damage to baggage while it is in the custody of the airline.

AIRLINE DATE CHANGE BEFORE DEPARTURE If you wish to travel in advance or return at a later date after the tour ends, then you must pay the applicable difference between the group airfare within the package holiday tour cost and the market airfare for the changed sector. The same will be quoted by us to you on your request. Over and above this you will also be required to pay an Airline Seat Rebooking and Reservation Fee of Rs. 2,500/- or amount as applicable per person per sector, per change depending on the airline (subject to availability of seats and ticket validity). Please note that you will not be able to avail of the group transfers and accordingly you will have to make your own way to meet up with the group on arrival and / or to your next destination when your tour ends. We shall not be liable to refund any amount to you in this regard. AIRLINE DATE CHANGE AFTER DEPARTURE It is absolutely necessary to have your return air seats to India confirmed prior to your departure from India. If you wish to change the date of your return journey after departure from India, you will have to pay a Change in Reservation Fee if any, directly to the airline, subject to availability of seats in the same booking class. This fee may range between USD 75 to USD 200 or more per person and we will not be responsible for the same. AIRLINE CONFIRMATION AND RECONFIRMATION Though you may receive a confirmed air ticket for a particular sector, airlines often overbook seats, due to which the airline may offload even confirmed passengers and may accommodate them on a subsequent flight. We will not be responsible for any such offloading nor for any consequence of such offloading including delay, inconvenience or loss of tour services. As you are booked on a group fare ticket, please note that seat allotment will be done only when you physically report at the airport check in counter. You are advised to report at the airport check in counter at least 3 to 4 hours prior to the departure time. Seat allocation is a matter of airlines discretion and availability of seats which is not in the control of Cox & Kings. Hence Cox & Kings shall not be held responsible if you do not get seats together or do not get your preferred seats. Please note that in case you are returning on a later date after the tour ends, the responsibility to re-confirm air tickets 72 hours prior to the departure would be solely yours.

baggage) at all times during the tour, whether during travel on the airline or during your stay in hotel or during your travel in coaches, while on excursions or otherwise. If you forget to carry or if you lose essential travel documents such as passport, visa, tickets etc., you may be compelled to curtail the tour and you may have to incur extra expenses, for which you alone shall be responsible. In view of what is stated above, please carefully note that: (1) We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage in respect of your baggage etc. or their contents whether due to theft, accident, negligence or otherwise; (2) We shall not be responsible for any cancellation or curtailment of your tour compelled by any such loss of baggage etc. and we shall pay no compensation or refund to you; (3) Some coverage in respect of baggage loss or damage may be provided by insurance (see below the Insurance section). It is advisable that you do not carry valuables on the tour. However, if you carry any valuables, we recommend that you use all available facilities to keep them secure during your tour. In this regard, some hotels provide Safe Deposit Lockers (which may be charged separately). In case of airlines, we recommend that you declare your valuables to the airline at the time of check-in and pay an additional charge, as may be stipulated by the airline, to make the airline responsible for valuables. Without such declaration, airlines can invoke limitation of liability protections provided in international conventions and laws. If your baggage is lost or misplaced at any time during the course of your tour, it is your responsibility to take all appropriate actions to file complaints with the concerned authorities, including police, airline office etc. Please understand that as the Tour Manager is responsible for the whole group of tour participants, he may not be in a position to escort you to lodge a complaint with the authorities, as it could compromise the convenience and time of the group. Furthermore, tour managers / assistants / escorts are assisting the tourists throughout the tour and are not responsible for tourists baggage or any kind of personal belongings. On the entire tour the tourists have to be responsible and carry the baggage on their own. Instructions as well as information of the tour are to be followed in the group tours and the tour manager / company is not responsible for any instructions not followed / overruled by the tourists and / or its consequences. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND CLEARANCES It shall be solely your responsibility to hold valid travel documents and statutory clearances, to enable you to travel on the tour such as passports, visas, confirmed air-tickets, insurance and medical insurance certificates and other statutory certificates including immigration clearance etc. Please note that your Passport must be valid for at least six months subsequent to the scheduled departure date of the tour. If you cancel the tour due to non-availability of the passport etc, you will be liable to pay cancellation charges. VISA GUIDANCE SERVICES It is necessary for you to ensure that you have the appropriate passport, which is valid for at least six months after you return to India. For guests travelling to Malaysia, please ensure that the minimum validity of the passport should be atleast 9 months after your date of return to India. Furthermore, you will be required to take the appropriate visas for going on the tour. We provide you visa guidance services for which we will charge you. Such charges may include not only the actual visa charge and costs incurred but also our service charge. Please note that UK and USA visa will have to be obtained by you directly; however we may assist you in preparing and submitting the visa application based on documents provided by you. Even if you do not get your visa, you will be liable to pay the applicable charges. If you already possess a visa or wish to do the visa/s on your own, you would be entitled only for the refund of actual visa/s cost and the portion of charges attributable to our service charges will still have to be paid by you. It is your responsibility to promptly furnish to us all documents required for application of your visas etc. latest by 60 days before the departure date. In fact, in the current scenario it would be far more prudent to furnish all documents at least four months before the departure date. Given the security concerns and the over-cautious approach adopted by embassies and consulates, visa processing can take quite long. Please note that we may receive documents submitted late but we are not responsible for rejection or non-receipt of visas due to inadequate or late submissions. You are required to furnish only genuine documentation. Granting / rejection of visas is the sole discretion of embassy / consulate. We only act as a facilitator for obtaining visas. You may be required to appear personally before embassy / consulate for any interview(s) / providing biometrics. The Company shall under no circumstance be held liable or responsible for rejection of visas and any other incidental or consequential loss, damage, cost or expense. You undertake not to proceed legally against the company for such rejection of visas, unless there is a manifest error committed by the company. We would not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for any clerical error done by the concerned embassy / consulate regarding the name, attachment of wrong photograph, duration and type of visa (single / multiple entry) or passport number. We always use services of reputed courier companies for the purpose of transmission of passports to the embassies / consulates and to our clients in various cities. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential caused due to transmission delays or loss of passport or documents in the course of transmission of documents by us to the embassy or to you or in the course of transmission of documents by the embassy / consulate to us. We would however, make best attempts to trace your documents or assist you in obtaining alternative / certified copies of the lost documents. If you are unable to travel on the tour originally booked by you because either you could not get your visa in time or due to an error of the part of the embassy / consulate, an incorrect visa is issued to you, you shall have the option to postpone your tour to any other future date or transfer your tour to any other tour and in such case the amendment fee for shall apply, in addition to cancellation charges. Please note that if the rejection of visa is intimated by the embassy / consulate within the cancellation period specified in the section titled CANCELLATION OF BOOKING BY YOU then the cancellation charges as appearing in that section shall apply. Please further note that for the purpose of ascertaining the applicable cancellation rates, the cancellation would be deemed to have been made on the date we receive intimation of visa rejection from the consulate / embassy. Should you choose to re-apply after visa rejection, then you shall do so at your own risk and cost. If the visa is rejected a second time, the applicable cancellation rates shall be based on the date of receipt of intimation of the rejection of second visa application and so the charges shall be much higher than the rates which would have applied on the first rejection. Should we not receive any intimation from the consulate / embassy either accepting or rejecting a visa application before the departure date of your tour, the maximum cancellation charges shall apply. It is made clear that the cancellation charges shall apply in addition to the retention of visa service charges. You expressly agree not to dispute the foregoing.

You understand that these damages are called liquidated damages in legal language, which are payable without proof of actual damages. You agree not to dispute such deductions or to demand proof of actual damages. Under the circumstances, you agree not to proceed legally against us unless there is a manifest error from our end.

If you have any such special requirements arising from medical conditions or from the needs of your children or otherwise, it would be advisable to travel on a customized tour and coach tours are not recommended. We, however, reserve the right to change the meal arrangement, where circumstances compel us to do so. At some places a meal allowance may be paid to you at our discretion to enable you to have a meal of your own choice. HOTELS The Company selects hotels for your stay at locations, which give comfort and value for money. For various reasons, such as reducing the overall traveling time on the coach for the following day, the hotels may be chosen away from the city centre. Unlike other countries, most hotels in Europe do not have air conditioners or fans. Modern facilities such as attached toilets with showers / bathtubs are provided. We cannot guarantee the availability of adjoining rooms / interconnecting rooms / non-smoking room / rooms on the same floor etc. Hotels in Europe may / may not have room service facilities. The check in time is usually 2 p.m. and check out time is usually 11 a.m. In Australia, the check in time is 12 noon and the check out time is 10 a.m. In certain hotels like Genting Resorts, though the check in time is 2:00 pm, you may have to wait for some hours till the rooms are cleared. The same is subject to change from time to time. If you seek a change in rooming while on a tour, the same will be subject to availability and you will need to pay any additional charges as may be applicable. Please note that hotels in Europe can have exceptionally small rooms unlike what you may have experienced in other countries. Single Accommodation In case you book on a single occupancy basis, you will have to pay a single room supplement unless another tour participant is willing to share your room. You shall also be liable to pay the single room supplement if earlier having booked on a shared room basis, you later have to take the room on single occupancy basis since your intended room partner has either dropped out of the tour for any reason or since you and / or your room partner are no longer willing to share a room. Note that the single room supplement will be charged in all cases where a booking on a shared room basis has to be changed to single room basis including the following: (i) Intended room partner was arranged by you; (ii) Intended room partner was arranged by us for you. (iii) No room partner was found available for you. Double Twin Accomodation A double room has either a single queen-size bed or two separate beds. If you request for a room with a queen-size bed, the same would be provided subject to availability as most of the hotel rooms in Europe are twin-bedded. In case of non-availability of a room with a queen-size bed, a twin bedded-room would be given. Triple Accomodation We recommend a maximum of only three persons in one room. Triple rooms are usually no larger than twin rooms and the third bed is often a rollaway bed or cot placed in a twin room. Children Accommodation A child travelling for whom without a bed charge has been paid would not be entitled to a separate bed in the hotel. In case with bed charge has been paid for the child and you decide not to avail such facility whilst on the tour, you would not be entitled to any refund. In case you decide to seek an extra bed for the child booked on without bed basis on the tour, this will be provided subject to availability and you shall be bound to pay any additional amount charged by the concerned hotel directly. PRE / POST TOUR / ADD ON EXTENSION PACKAGES Pre / post tour accommodation / add on packages or extensions are available to you at special rates. You must ensure that you request your travel agent or your sales officer for the same at the time of booking your tour. COACH AND SEATING We generally engage air-conditioned / air-cooled luxury coaches but we are not responsible if the air-conditioning equipment malfunctions for any reason. On group tours, you are not allotted seat numbers as a seat rotation system is followed. You must follow the instructions of the Tour Manager in this regard. The average traveling time by coach is approximately 8 to 10 hours or more a day in Europe and 4 to 5 hours in U.S.A. under normal road conditions. Comfort stops are provided every 2-3 hours, after appropriate intervals. The foregoing timings are indicative only. Though some of the coaches are equipped with emergency washrooms, such a facility can be used only in case of a dire emergency. The coach drivers are bound by restrictions concerning maximum driving hours per day and per week and the itineraries are planned with regard to the same. It is therefore essential that the itineraries, schedules and timings are strictly adhered to by you so as to ensure that all the services can be duly provided. If you or any of your co-passengers misses any service due to unpunctuality, we shall not be liable to refund any amount. Further, we shall not be liable to refund any amount or pay any compensation / damages for any change in itinerary or for missing any service due to the unpunctuality or actions of your co-passengers. Please note that smoking, consumption of alcoholic beverages and snacks is strictly prohibited on coaches. Please keep the coach clean to avoid discomfort to yourself and other tour participants. Please take care not to leave behind any property in the coach while disembarking. The Company would not be responsible or liable in case of loss of such property under any circumstances. BAGGAGE ON COACH Please note that porterage is not included in the tour price. It is often difficult to get porters to assist as hotels may or may not provide this service and it is therefore advisable to use bags with wheels. Coaches have limited space for luggage and hence we permit only one suitcase and one handbag per person in the coach. The suitcase should be of a size of 158 cms. (width + length + height). AIRLINES We shall in no circumstances whatsoever be liable to you or any person travelling with you, for loss of baggage by the airline, failure to provide meal of your choice by the airline, denied boarding or down-gradation due to overbooking or any other reason, failure on the part of the airline to accommodate you despite having confirmed tickets, quality or quantity of meals offered by the airlines, flight delays or rescheduling, flight cancellation, changes of flight schedule or routing, change of airline mentioned at the time of booking etc. In these circumstances, we will not be liable for the injury, loss or inconvenience suffered by you but you will be free to pursue your remedies against the concerned airline. BAGGAGE ON AIRLINE Airlines have restrictions on the kind of baggage, number and weight of baggage that you can carry and you will need to carefully read and understand the rules and regulations of the airline, in this regard. Typically, weight restrictions on baggage for Economy Class is 20 Kg, for Business Class 30 kg and for First Class is 40 kg and one hand bag (cabin luggage) not exceeding 7 kg per person except for flights to USA and Canada, where the passengers are permitted to carry two pieces of checked-in baggage and one hand bag. In the case of low cost carriers are used by the Company during the tour, the permitted baggage allowance may be lower than what is mentioned above. Baggage is not included for internal flights in USA. One needs to pay for every piece of baggage checked in. The charges vary from US $ 25 to US $ 35 per bag. Please check with your sales staff for correct details. Please note that every airline has a different set of rules and regulations regarding the weight restrictions and furthermore, airlines keep changing the rules quite frequently. Hence, you are requested to please check the updated baggage rules of the individual airlines, with whom the ticket is booked. We are not liable, in any manner, if you are unable to carry any baggage or if you have to pay any extra-charges due to restrictions imposed by the airline. You shall be liable to pay all such charges directly to the airline. Also, we are not liable for any loss or damage to baggage while it is in the custody of the airline. AIRLINE DATE CHANGE BEFORE DEPARTURE If you wish to travel in advance or return at a later date after the tour ends, then you must pay the applicable difference between the group airfare within the package holiday tour cost and the market airfare for the changed sector. The same will be quoted by us to you on your request. Over and above this you will also be required to pay an Airline Seat Rebooking and Reservation Fee of Rs. 2,500/- or amount as applicable per person per sector, per change depending on the airline (subject to availability of seats and ticket validity). Please note that you will not be able to avail of the group transfers and accordingly you will have to make your own way to meet up with the group on arrival and / or to your next destination when your tour ends. We shall not be liable to refund any amount to you in this regard. AIRLINE DATE CHANGE AFTER DEPARTURE It is absolutely necessary to have your return air seats to India confirmed prior to your departure from India. If you wish to change the date of your return journey after departure from India, you will have to pay a Change in Reservation Fee if any, directly to the airline, subject to availability of seats in the same booking class. This fee may range between USD 75 to USD 200 or more per person and we will not be responsible for the same. AIRLINE CONFIRMATION AND RE-CONFIRMATION Though you may receive a confirmed air ticket for a particular sector, airlines often overbook seats, due to which the airline may offload even confirmed passengers and may accommodate them on a subsequent flight. We will not be responsible for any such offloading nor for any consequence of such offloading including delay, inconvenience or loss of tour services. As you are booked on a group fare ticket, please note that seat allotment will be done only when you physically report at the airport check in counter. You are advised to report at the airport check in counter at least 3 to 4 hours prior to the departure time. Seat allocation is a matter of airlines discretion and availability of seats which is not in the control of Cox & Kings. Hence Cox & Kings shall not be held responsible if you do not get seats together or do not get your preferred seats. Please note that in case you are returning on a later date after the tour ends, the responsibility to re-confirm air tickets 72 hours prior to the departure would be solely yours. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DOCUMENTS AND POSSESSIONS You will have to take the risk and responsibility of all your baggage, belongings, currency, valuables, documents and personal effects (collectively baggage) at all times during the tour, whether during travel on the airline or during your stay in hotel or during your travel in coaches, while on excursions or otherwise. If you forget to carry or if you lose essential travel documents such as passport, visa, tickets etc., you may be compelled to curtail the tour and you may have to incur extra expenses, for which you alone shall be responsible. In view of what is stated above, please carefully note that: (1) We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage in respect of your baggage etc. or their contents whether due to theft, accident, negligence or otherwise; (2) We shall not be responsible for any cancellation or curtailment of your tour compelled by any such loss of baggage etc. and we shall pay no compensation or refund to you; (3) Some coverage in respect of baggage loss or damage may be provided by insurance (see below the Insurance section). It is advisable that you do not carry valuables on the tour. However, if you carry any valuables, we recommend that you use all available facilities to keep them secure during your tour. In this regard, some hotels provide Safe Deposit Lockers (which may be charged separately). In case of airlines, we recommend that you declare your valuables to the airline at the time of check-in and pay an additional charge, as may be stipulated by the airline, to make the airline responsible for valuables. Without such declaration, airlines can invoke limitation of liability protections provided in international conventions and laws. If your baggage is lost or misplaced at any time during the course of your tour, it is your responsibility to take all appropriate actions to file complaints with the concerned authorities, including police, airline office etc. Please understand that as the Tour Manager is responsible for the whole group of tour participants, he may not be in a position to escort you to lodge a complaint with the authorities, as it could compromise the convenience and time of the group. Furthermore, tour managers / assistants / escorts are assisting the tourists throughout the tour and are not responsible for tourists baggage or any kind of personal belongings. On the entire tour the tourists have to be responsible and carry the baggage on their own. Instructions as well as information of the tour are to be followed in the group tours and the tour manager / company is not responsible for any instructions not followed / overruled by the tourists and / or its consequences. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND CLEARANCES It shall be solely your responsibility to hold valid travel documents and statutory clearances, to enable you to travel on the tour such as passports, visas, confirmed air-tickets, insurance and medical insurance certificates and other statutory certificates including immigration clearance etc. Please note that your Passport must be valid for at least six months subsequent to the scheduled departure date of the tour. If you cancel the tour due to non-availability of the passport etc, you will be liable to pay cancellation charges. VISA GUIDANCE SERVICES It is necessary for you to ensure that you have the appropriate passport, which is valid for at least six months after you return to India. For guests travelling to Malaysia, please ensure that the minimum validity of the passport should be atleast 9 months after your date of return to India. Furthermore, you will be required to take the appropriate visas for going on the tour. We provide you visa guidance services for which we will charge you. Such charges may include not only the actual visa charge and costs incurred but also our service charge. Please note that UK and USA visa will have to be obtained by you directly; however we may assist you in preparing and submitting the visa application based on documents provided by you. Even if you do not get your visa, you will be liable to pay the applicable charges. If you already possess a visa or wish to do the visa/s on your own, you would be entitled only for the refund of actual visa/s cost and the portion of charges attributable to our service charges will still have to be paid by you. It is your responsibility to promptly furnish to us all documents required for application of your visas etc. latest by 60 days before the departure date. In fact, in the current scenario it would be far more prudent to furnish all documents at least four months before the departure date. Given the security concerns and the over-cautious approach adopted by embassies and consulates, visa processing can take quite long. Please note that we may receive documents submitted late but we are not responsible for rejection or non-receipt of visas due to inadequate or late submissions. You are required to furnish only genuine documentation. Granting / rejection of visas is the sole discretion of embassy / consulate. We only act as a facilitator for obtaining visas. You may be required to appear personally before embassy / consulate for any interview(s) / providing biometrics. The Company shall under no circumstance be held liable or responsible for rejection of visas and any other incidental or consequential loss, damage, cost or expense. You undertake not to proceed legally against the company for such rejection of visas, unless there is a manifest error committed by the company. We would not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for any clerical error done by the concerned embassy / consulate regarding the name, attachment of wrong photograph, duration and type of visa (single / multiple entry) or passport number. We always use services of reputed courier companies for the purpose of transmission of passports to the embassies / consulates and to our clients in various cities. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential caused due to transmission delays or loss of passport or documents in the course of transmission of documents by us to the embassy or to you or in the course of transmission of documents by the embassy / consulate to us. We would however, make best attempts to trace your documents or assist you in obtaining alternative / certified copies of the lost documents. If you are unable to travel on the tour originally booked by you because either you could not get your visa in time or due to an error of the part of the embassy / consulate, an incorrect visa is issued to you, you shall have the option to postpone your tour to any other future date or transfer your tour to any other tour and in such case the amendment fee for shall apply, in addition to cancellation charges. Please note that if the rejection of visa is intimated by the embassy / consulate within the cancellation period specified in the section titled CANCELLATION OF BOOKING BY YOU then the cancellation charges as appearing in that section shall apply. Please further note that for the purpose of ascertaining the applicable cancellation rates, the cancellation would be deemed to have been made on the date we receive intimation of visa rejection from the consulate / embassy. Should you choose to re-apply after visa rejection, then you shall do so at your own risk and cost. If the visa is rejected a second time, the applicable cancellation rates shall be based on the date of receipt of intimation of the rejection of second visa application and so the charges shall be much higher than the rates which would have applied on the first rejection. Should we not receive any intimation from the consulate / embassy either accepting or rejecting a visa application before the departure date of your tour, the maximum cancellation charges shall apply. It is made clear that the cancellation charges shall apply in addition to the retention of visa service charges. You expressly agree not to dispute the foregoing.
