Flight schedules are subject to change without notice, and we recommend checking your flight times with the airline at least 72 hours prior to travel. Claims for costs incurred as a result of schedule changes must be made directly to the airline concerned. Cruiseco cannot be held responsible for the actions of an airline. Some low-cost carriers have additional charges not included in the air ticket cost for luggage (particularly US domestic flights). These costs are beyond our control and cannot be pre-paid to us as ticketing agents for the airline. Many airline carriers now charge for all baggage, meals and inflight entertainment on international flights. These fees and charges cannot be collected by the agent in advance. Each carrier and route has variations on prices and requirements. Please ask your travel consultant for a breakdown of applicable `pay direct` fees applicable to your booking or check with the airline by managing the booking online via the airline’s website. We recommend contacting the airlines directly for your seating and special meal requests to ensure that the airline has accurately noted your requirements. Airlines will often advise seat numbers but will not guarantee your seating until final boarding. Passengers are responsible for reconfirming all flights 72 hours prior to flight departure times. Flights will only be confirmed approximately 300 days prior to your departure date due to airline booking restrictions. If your booking is outside this timeframe confirmation will include the provisional flight date and routing.
