Booking Conditions
Please read the following booking conditions carefully, as they set out the terms
and conditions of the contract between you and Thompsons. We act as booking
agents for the suppliers of the component parts of the holiday we organise, and
as such, bookings for their services will form a direct contract between you and
the relevant supplier, and will be subject to that supplier’s standard terms and
conditions.
1) Bookings
Bookings save for late bookings as referred to hereunder, are confirmed on the
condition that a non-refundable deposit, of a minimum of 25% of the total pack-
age price, is paid to Thompsons within 72 hours of confirmation of your bookings.
You will be advised at the time of booking what payment is required for your
particular arrangements. The balance of the cost of your travel arrangements
must be paid no less than six weeks prior to departure. If your booking is made
within 6 weeks of departure, the total cost of your travel arrangements must be
paid at the time of booking. Please note: FAILURE TO PAY ON TIME WILL RESULT
IN THE AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION OF YOUR BOOKING.
2) Late Booking Fee & Communication Expenses (Telephone Calls)
In the event of a booking (except South Africa bookings) being made less than
7 days prior to the date of departure, Thompsons reserves the right to charge
for any extra communication expenses. Full payment is due immediately on
confirmation and is non-refundable on all late bookings. Some bookings require
full payment at the time of booking i.e. prior to confirmation. If we are unable to
secure confirmation you will be refunded in full.
3) Price Changes
a) The costs associated with travel arrangements are not always stable, and cur-
rency movements can fluctuate sharply. It is impossible to predict these move-
ments in advance. When you book a package through us, we reserve the right to
pass on any surcharges to you. Surcharges may be imposed to cover increases
in transportation costs, including the costs of fuel and security charges, taxes
or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disem-
barkation fees at ports and airports, or exchange rates applied to the particular
package.
b) Thompsons guarantees the price of land arrangements, only once full payment is
received.
c) Airfares are subject to the prices and conditions quoted by the particular airlines
and cannot be guaranteed by Thompsons. The onus is on the agent & the pas-
senger to check that there have been no changes in these prices before making
final payment thereof.
d) Should the client make a group reservation & subsequently the group numbers
deviate from the minimum number required for the booking, Thompsons reserves
the right to re-cost the price and raise a surcharge. Should any client refuse to
accept and pay such surcharge, it may result in cancellation of the booking and
forfeiture of all payments made.
4) Methods of Payment
a) Credit Cards: In accordance with International Airline Travel Association (IATA)
bulletin # A1/00 we need a signed and validated Standard Credit Card Charge
Form. The agent acknowledges that s/he has seen the card and that the signa-
ture on the card is the same as that on the Credit Card Charge Form. A signed
and validated Standard Credit Card Charge Form (SCCCF) or payment through our
Virtual Card Services system, are the only recognised forms of payment for credit
cards. If the card is a foreign credit card then you may be requested to supply
various other details.
b) Cheques: Bank issued cheques or travel agency cheques only (accredited agen-
cies only). Please note we require 7 working days to clear all cheques before
documents can be issued.
c) Cash or EFT Transfers: We accept EFT transfers, or cash deposited into one of
our bank accounts, subject to condition that the EFT transmission report or the
cash deposit slip is provided to ourselves and such payment has been confirmed
as received by ourselves.
5) Insurance
It is strongly advised that all clients take out adequate insurance cover such as
cancellation due to illness, accident or injury, personal accident and personal
liability, loss of or damage to baggage and sports equipment. Thompsons will
not be responsible or liable if the client fails to take adequate insurance cover or
at all. It shall not be obligatory upon Thompsons to effect insurance for the client
except upon detailed instructions given in writing and all insurance effected by
Thompsons pursuant to such instruction will be subject to such exceptions and
conditions as may be imposed by the insurance company or the underwriters
accepting the risk, and Thompsons shall not be obliged to obtain separate
cover for any risks so excluded. Should the insurers dispute their liability for
any reason, the client will have recourse against the insurers only. Once the
insurance has been confirmed and paid for, the client will be issued with a policy
document of the insurer. It is a complex document, which must be READ BEFORE
you initiate your travel so that you can address any queries you may have to the
insurer PRIOR to your departure. Please note that various credit card companies
offer limited levels of travel insurance, which Thompsons does not consider
sufficient cover for international travel. Kindly check with the respective credit
card companies in order to obtain specific details of the cover.
6) Flight and Other Travel Timings
Flight timings are provided by airlines and are subject to Air Traffic Control
restrictions. All means of transportation are subject to weather conditions, the
need for constant maintenance, and the ability of passengers to check-in on
time. There is no guarantee that flights, ferries, ships, trains or coaches will
depart at the times stated on any itinerary or tickets which you receive. All tim-
ings are estimates only, and we do not accept any liability for any delay, however
arising, or for any schedule alterations.
7) Flight Reconfirmation
It is your responsibility to ensure that you reconfirm the departure date and times
of all your flights at least 72 hours prior to departure. This is particularly impor-
tant in respect of subsequent journeys once leaving South Africa and Thompsons
hereby specifically excludes any liability for any delay and /or loss as a result of
your failure to reconfirm any flight and/or connecting flight.
8) Documents
a) Documents (vouchers, itineraries, etc.) are only prepared on receipt of full pay-
ment of the package price, and signed & completed Booking Form, and will be
ready 24 hours after payment has been received. Normally your travel agent will
arrange collection of your documents.
b) Should you require your documents and air tickets to be forwarded to either
yourself or the departure airport this may be arranged by your agent with us.
However, the courier costs in respect thereof will be for your own account.
c) It is important that you check all details of your travel documents (including your
itinerary) before leaving South Africa. If there are any inaccuracies on any of
your travel documents, or should you have any further queries, you should con-
tact your travel agent immediately. Thompsons will not be liable for any delay
and/or loss occasioned as a result of any inaccuracies on any travel documents
once you are in receipt thereof and you have left South Africa.
9) Unscheduled Extensions
In the unlikely event of there being an unscheduled extension to the holiday
caused by flight delays, bad weather, strikes, or any other cause which is beyond
the control of Thompsons, it is understood that the expenses relating to these
unscheduled extensions, (hotel accommodation etc.), will be for the account of
the passenger. Thompsons accepts no liability for changes, omissions or delays
before or during the course of any holiday occasioned by technical difficulties,
weather conditions, strikes or communication breakdowns or the like.
10) Changes by You
a) If you wish to make a change to your booking we will endeavour to assist you
to make the change wherever this is possible. You will have to pay all charges,
whatever kind, imposed by the suppliers providing that component part of your
travel arrangements when amending a booking any time prior to departure.
Fares will be re-quoted at the time of amendment.
b) An administration fee of R100 per person will be charged for each amendment
and / or cancellation.
c) After departure it is understood that extra expenses incurred as a result of any
change will be for the passenger’s account, and any unused service will not be
refunded.
d) Amendments and cancellations en route must be made with our operators
directly.
11) Cancellation by You
If you wish to cancel your booking you must advise your agent immediately,
who will in turn advise us. You will be liable to pay the following cancellation
charges:
a) Where your booking includes a special fare, the relevant charges are levied by
the airline. In some circumstances this may be 100% of the total fare, regardless
of when cancellation is effected.
b) Where your booking is for a package, you will be responsible for all cancellation
charges, of whatsoever nature, imposed by the suppliers providing the compo-
nent parts of such travel arrangements.
c) Thompsons charges a cancellation fee equal to 10% of the package price on any
finalised booking. However, Thompsons reserves the right to charge a cancella-
tion fee of up to 100% of the total package, in its sole discretion, in particular
circumstances. Any monies, which you have already paid to us, will be taken by
us as payment or part payment of any cancellation charges.
12) Our Right to Change Your Travel Arrangements
a) A significant change to your travel arrangements would include a change in the
departure date from South Africa; where the flight times are changed by more
than 12 hours or a change to a lower standard of accommodation to that which
is booked. In these instances of significant changes to your travel arrangements
Thompsons undertakes to advise you thereof as soon as reasonably possible
before your departure date to obtain your further instructions in this regard.
b) All other changes are minor changes. A minor change can be made at any time
and, if practicable, we will advise you of any such change prior to departure but
we are not obliged to do so. Such minor changes may be made by Thompsons, in
its discretion, who will not be responsible or liable for the payment of compensa-
tion to you as a result of such minor changes.
c) Every effort is made by Thompsons to adhere to confirmed itineraries; however,
we reserve the right to make changes to your travel arrangements when it
becomes necessary to do so.
d) Should any travel component be confirmed by Thompsons and this component
is cancelled by the supplier for whatsoever reason, then in such instances
Thompsons will accept no liability for the cancellation thereof.
13) Lost/Stolen Flight Tickets
a) The loss or theft of a ticket must be reported to Thompsons immediately. Certain
airlines will not authorise Thompsons to issue a replacement ticket if such ticket
is lost or stolen before the passenger leaves South Africa. In the latter instance
you will be required to purchase a new ticket, at your own cost, until such time as
Thompsons receives authority from the airline to make any refund to you, which
authority could take up to 12 months. Should the airline authorise Thompsons to
issue a replacement ticket Thompsons will do so and a re-issue fee, per ticket,
will be applicable.
b) Should your ticket be lost or stolen abroad it should be noted that certain airlines
will not issue a duplicate ticket and it will be your responsibility to purchase a
new ticket abroad at the local fare. Upon your return to South Africa you may
make application to Thompsons for a refund of the amount spent by yourself
on the lost or stolen ticket, but it is specifically recorded that any refund will
be entirely at the discretion of the airline concerned which may take up to 12
months to authorise.
c) It is your responsibility to report the lost or stolen ticket to the police and to
provide Thompsons with the proof of such report if required.
14) Airline Refund Procedures
a) Refund policies of the various airlines vary greatly. Tickets returned to
Thompsons, will be presented to the relevant airline for assessment. Should a
refund be authorised, such refund will be made to you, less any cancellation or
administration charges.
b) If payment for the ticket was made to Thompsons by credit card, the refund will
be made to your credit card. Cash payments will be refunded by EFT.
c) Partly used tickets will be refunded at less than the pro rata rate on the face
value of such ticket.
d) Refunds may take up to 12 weeks to process although this time frame cannot be
guaranteed by Thompsons
e) Unused tickets must be returned to Thompsons for a refund within one year from
the date of issue or they will be regarded as expired by the airline and have no
refund value.
15) Complaints
a) In the event that you have any reason to complain, or experience any problems
with your holiday whilst away, you must immediately inform the supplier of the
services in question.
b) If you are still dissatisfied, you must notify Thompsons immediately to enable us
to resolve the problem. Failure to give us the opportunity to resolve any problem
at the time it occurs may result in either a reduction, or complete extinction, of
any rights which you may have to claim compensation.
c) If you remain dissatisfied, contact the Customer Services Manager within
28 days of the unsatisfactory service, giving your booking reference and full
details of your complaint on email: clientservices@thompsons.co.za or fax to
011-770-7498.
d) Whilst every effort will be made to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction,
it is specifically recorded that Thompsons in no way accepts liability for any
claim.

i. Taxes: Thompsons will advise you of all mandatory taxes, which you must pay
before departure. However, many countries charge departure taxes that can
only be paid locally. It is therefore recommended that you retain sufficient local
currency to meet such charges. Details of departure taxes can be obtained from
the relevant airline when you reconfirm your flight details.
ii. Special requests: We can pass on any special requests that you may wish to
make at the time of booking, but acceptance of such requests is at the discretion
of the airline or other supplier and in no circumstances are special requests
guaranteed. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to
the supplier, or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice
or any other documentation, is not confirmation that the request will be met.
iii. Medical Problems: If you or any member of your party has any medical problem
or disability which may affect your holiday, you need to give us full details in
writing at the time of booking. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accom-

decline their reservation. We reserve the right to cancel the reservation should
we become aware of any such medical problem or disability which has not been
disclosed.
iv. Renovations: Hotels undergo renovations from time to time and take all possible
steps to limit disruption to their guests. We will not entertain complaints or
requests for refunds if a hotel is carrying out renovations whilst a guest is resi-
dent. If we are specifically advised of renovation work, dates may be provided.
It is important to remember that these are subject to change and we are not
always notified.
v. Refunds and Unused Services: No refunds will be considered for any reason
whatsoever.
vi. Charges to your credit card: Any charges made to your credit card whilst away
are your responsibility. Thompsons will not be responsible, nor accept respon-
sibility for having these charges reversed or corrected upon return to South

please take your national driver’s licence with you.

court, Thompsons undertakes to deal with all client information of a personal
nature on a strictly confidential basis.
18) Force Majeure

we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or
prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected, or
you otherwise suffer any damage or loss, as a result of “force majeure”. In these
Booking Conditions, “force majeure” means any event which we or the supplier
of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid.
Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity or
actual threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster,
adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.

with a passenger’s itinerary will be carried out as specified in the most efficient
and effective way possible. However, we do not have direct control over the
provision of services by suppliers and, whilst they are in all cases selected
with the utmost care, we do not accept liability for error and omissions of such
suppliers. The contract in use by such suppliers (which is often constituted by
the ticket Issued by the Principal), shall constitute the sole contract between the
supplier and the client and any right of recourse the client may have, will be
solely against the supplier.
