Escorted Tours - essential information
Booking deposit - a deposit will be required to secure your booking of £150 per person. Payment can be made by cheque (made payable to THG Holidays), debit card or major credit card - a 2% charge will apply.
Passports - it is essential for British citizens to possess a full ten year passport, valid for at least six months beyond the return date for all holidays our holidays. If you do not have a passport, you should enquire at your local main Post Office or nearest Passport Office at least three months before departure. If you require a visa for your chosen destination and you have to apply for a new passport we must have the correct passport number or your visa will be invalid.
Please note: If you are 16 or over and haven’t yet got a passport, our recommendation is that you should apply for one at least three months before your holiday. The UK Passport Service has to confirm your identity before issuing your first passport and will ask you to attend an interview in order to do this.
Extended Stays - if you choose to extend your stay at the end of your holiday we can help you with your arrangements. An administration fee of £25 is payable. This does not include any accommodation or transportation. All individual extended stays are unescorted.
Health Regulations - No compulsory immunisation is required by UK residents for any of the countries featured. However, voluntary immunisation may be recommended from time to time in certain countries, and your Doctor or Local Health Authority will be able to give you up-to-date information. We would also draw your attention to the T6 booklet (Health Advice for Travellers) available from main Post Offices or by telephoning freephone 0800 555 777 .
Baggage Handling and Allowance - baggage handling is included for one piece of luggage per person both on arrival and departure from hotels. For security reasons, baggage handling is not included at airports. The baggage allowance for most holidays featured is 44lbs (20kgs) per person, plus hand luggage, although this varies with the airline. Details can be found on your ticket.
Holiday Insurance - it is a condition of booking that you are adequately insured. We offer an excellent, fully comprehensive insurance policy, details of which are in this information booklet.
Children - Some tours will allow children and offer a reduced rate, please call for details.
Airlines and Aircraft - all prices featured are based on air travel in economy class. Passenger travel on scheduled airlines is provided under the conditions of the airline concerned as printed on the air ticket. We reserve the right to substitute an alternative airline or aircraft type if required to do so for reasons beyond our control.
Airport Taxes - any airport taxes and security charges which are payable in advance and therefore form part of the scheduled air ticket have been calculated at the time of publication and included in the price of your holiday. These include the UK Government Airline Passenger Duty (£20) and various overseas airport airline charges where applicable. At some airports, there are also passenger charges which are payable locally. For your convenience, these will be paid by us on your behalf and included on your invoice. Details of which airport taxes are included and which will be charged out are given in the price tables on the main holiday page.
Tickets and Travel Details - you will receive your tickets and full travel documents approximately ten days before departure.
Financial Security - the holidays featured are ATOL Protected, since we hold an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence issued as a legal requirement by the Civil Aviation Authority. Our ATOL number is 9528. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. This means your money and your holiday are totally protected at all times.
Travel to the Airport - please note that it is advisable to leave booking travel arrangements to your UK departure point until you have received your final travel documents.
