The following booking conditions are printed on the tour booking form and apply to all bookings – unless informed otherwise.
Deposits:
A non-refundable deposit of $500 per person is required to confirm your booking on a tour. Final payment of the tour fee and any additional travel will be due 70 days before departure.
Cancellation fees:
If you decide to cancel your booking the following charges apply:
| More than 60 days before departure | $500.00* |
| 60-45 days before tour start | 20% of total amount due |
| 44-15 days before tour start | 75% of total amount due |
| 14 days or less before departure | 100% of total amount due |
* This amount may be transferred by the school to the booking of a ‘replacement’ student making a new booking.
Unused portions of the tour:
We regret that refunds will not be given for any unused portions of the tour, such as meals, entry fees or accommodation.
Travel Insurance:
Academy Travel and your school require all participants to have travel insurance. Comprehensive coverage is included in the tour price. If you have pre-existing medical conditions, are aged older than 49 or are undertaking additional travel, a supplementary payment may be required
Passport and visa:
A valid passport is required for all international travel. If you do not hold an Australian passport you may require a re-entry permit. Some countries require a visa to be issued before you depart Australia. We will advise you of all passport and visa requirements, but it is your responsibility to ensure that you meet passport and visa requirements before you depart.
Will the tour price change:
If the number of participants in a tour is significantly less than budgeted, or if there is a significant change in exchange rates, Academy Travel reserves the right to amend the advertised price. If this occurs you will be given the option of cancelling your booking and obtaining a full refund. If an Academy Travel tour is forced to cancel you will get a full refund of all monies paid.
Will the itinerary or airline change:
Occasionally circumstances beyond the control of Academy Travel make it necessary to change airline, hotel or to make slight amendments to daily itineraries. We will inform you of any changes as soon as they occur.
