Holidays/flight based on charter flights.

If 28 or less before departure .fixed charge will be 25 le per person.

Holiday flights based on schedule flights .whilst we will do our best to help, changes are not always allowed by airlines and they treat a change as a cancellation & charge accordingly.

In this case this charge will be passed to you. 
This will invariably be the case if any changes requested after tickets have been issued .

If we are able to make changes without incurring cancellation, our charges for administration will be the same as for a charter flight.
In all cases any charge made by any suppliers of facilities or services arising from any change will also is passed on to you.

If you change the no. of people in your party, the price of the arrangements will be recalculated for the new party size

If, for example, a party is reduced in size this may mean that accommodation is under-occupied and therefore each member of the party may have to pay an increased price

If we make changes:

If any such details are changed, you will be informed before we confirm your booking 
Sometimes, even after we have confirmed your booking we may have to make some alterations to confirmed arrangements. 
Most such alteration will be minor and of little effect on your overall arrangements, and in that case, while we do our best to notify you of any such minor change before your departure, we have no other liability to you. 
Occasionally, however, we may have to make a significant change to your confirmed arrangements

Significant changes include the following:

Change of departure airport. 
Change of time of departure from Cairo airport by more than 12 hours. 
Change of resort area. 
Change of holiday accommodation to a accommodation of a lower official rating 
A change of arrival airport or flight operating with a stop-over at another airport does not constitute a major change.

* accept the change and the contract between us will then be varied to incorporate the change:
*take alternative arrangements together 
If the alternative is of lower price than those originally confirmed, the difference will be refunded to you. 
If the alternative is more expensive, then you will have to pay the difference or 
Withdraw from the booking completely & we will refund the money paid to us.

Canyon Travel's Booking Conditions:

Our commitment to you Providing your holiday:

Your holiday contract is with canyon TRAVEL LTD, a fully bonded member of ETAA (EGYPTIAN TAVEL AGENTS ASSOCIATION) and licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority. We will arrange to provide you with the various services which form part of the holiday you book with us.

Before your booking is confirmed and a contract comes into existence, we reserve the right to increase or decrease brochure prices, and to decline any booking. The booking is not accepted until the date shown on the balance invoice, which will be sent to you or your travel agent. It is only then that a binding contract exists between you and us.

If we change your holiday before your departure:

We hope and expect to be able to provide you with all the services we have confirmed to you at the time of booking. However, we plan arrangements many months in advance of your holiday, and use the services of independent suppliers such as airlines, hotels etc, over whom we have no direct control. It is therefore the case, that on occasions changes do have to be made, and we reserve the right to make these.

Most of these changes are minor. However, if we consider them a major change we will endeavor to advise you or your travel agent as soon as is reasonably possible if there is time. We consider a major change to be one where there has been a significant change of resort, a change of accommodation to that of a lower category and/or price, a change of flight time of more than 12 hours, and a change of departure airport, (except between London airports). In the case of your being advised of a major change before your departure, you then have the following choices: 
To accept the alternative offered.

To choose and purchase another available holiday from us at the appropriate price.
To cancel your holiday and receive a full refund of all the money you paid us.
Whichever of the above options you choose, we will pay you a compensation of £30 per person if a major change is notified to you or your travel agent within 61 days of your scheduled departure date.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

We will not pay any compensation for changes which arise as a result of situations beyond our control. For example technical or maintenance problems with transport, changes imposed by rescheduling or cancellation of flights by an airline or main charterer, the alteration of the airline or aircraft type, refusal of landing rights by the CAA to any airline. This also includes any other acts of force major, namely: war or threat of war, terrorist activity, riots, civil strife, strikes and other industrial disruption, natural disasters, fire, quarantine, epidemics, bad weather conditions, Government action, or other such unforeseen events.

IF WE CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION WHILST IN RESORT:

We do not control the day to day management of your accommodation, and in exceptional cases it is possible that we may be advised that the reserved accommodation is not available when you arrive at your resort. If this happens, we will endeavour to provide accommodation of at least the same standard in the same resort area. If only accommodation of a lower standard is available we will refund the difference of the brochure price between the accommodation booked and that available, and will pay £30 per person for any inconvenience

IF WE CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY:

We reserve the right to cancel your holiday for any reason. However, we have no intention of cancelling your holiday within 61 days of departure unless it is for a reason outside our control (see IMPORTANT NOTE). If we have to cancel your holiday, we will offer you:-

An alternative holiday of comparable type, though if the alternative offered is at additional cost, the difference will be payable by you, or

A full refund of all monies paid. In both cases, compensation as offered for major changes will also be paid. The above offers will not apply where the cancellation by us arises out of non-payment or late payment on any part of the cost of your holiday, or for alterations requested by you within 61 days of departure, when amendment or cancellation charges will apply.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU FOR YOUR HOLIDAY ARRANGEMENTS:

Canyon Travel Ltd. is a member of ABTA, Registration No. V829X, and is licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority, ATOL No. 2556 and bonded with major banks/insurance companies to protect customer holiday payment and repatriation.

The price of your holiday quoted in our Tariffs is subject to change prior to booking. However, the price we confirm at the time of booking is the price we guarantee.

We will accept liability for matters which arise as a direct result of our negligence and/or breach of our contractual duty to exercise care in making arrangements for you, including any acts or omissions by our employees or agents. Furthermore, we will accept liability for any negligent act or omission of our suppliers, whilst they are acting within the scope or in the course of their employment to provide any service or arrangement forming part of the holiday that you have booked with us, including any claim involving death, personal injury or illness.

In respect of carriage by air, sea and rail and the provision of accommodation, our liability in all cases will be limited in accordance with the relevant international conventions. You can ask for copies of these international conventions from our London offices.

It is important to note that travel with a particular carrier will be subject to the conditions of carriage of that carrier, some of which may limit liability. Copies of such conditions are available from our London offices.

Operational decisions may be taken by Air Carriers and airports resulting in delays, diversions or rescheduling. Canyon Travel has no control over such decisions, and is therefore unable to accept responsibility for them.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU FOR PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS 

(UNCONNECTED WITH ARRANGEMENTS MADE BY US):

DEALING WITH COMPLAINTS:

We certainly hope that we can settle any holiday complaints amicably. However, should this prove not to be the case, you may refer any dispute in relation to this contract to an Arbitrator appointed by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability of the client in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £1,500 per person or £7,500 per booking form, or to claims which are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness, or the consequences of such injury or illness. An application for arbitration must be made within nine months of the date of return from the holiday, but in special circumstances it may still be offered outside the period. Details may be obtained from the Association of British Travel Agents.

JURISDICTION:

This agreement shall be governed by English law and be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.

When you or your Travel Agent wish to confirm a holiday booking, you must sign a Booking Form and pay a non-refundable deposit of £125 per person.

When you sign the Booking Form, you are confirming that you understand and have accepted our Commitment to You (our Code of Conduct), and the important General Information. You are also accepting that the terms of our Commitment to You form the basis of any contract between canyon Travel and yourself, which is subject to the English Law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts. The person signing the Booking Form warrants that he or she has the authority of all other persons included in the holiday to make the booking on their behalf.

PAYING FOR YOUR HOLIDAY:

After your booking is taken and a deposit received, a balance invoice will be sent to you detailing the total cost due. Full payment is due not less than 61 days before departure. If you do not pay in full 61 days before departure, we reserve the right to cancel your booking, and cancellation charges will apply.

If you make a holiday booking within 61 days of your departure date, then you must pay the full cost of the holiday at the booking stage. Any monies paid by you to a Travel Agent acting on our behalf are held by the Agent on our behalf at all times.

MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR HOLIDAY BOOKING:

When booking your holiday, if you wish to make a modification to a holiday shown in the brochure, we will try to assist. Should you wish to change to an alternative featured hotel, this will be charged at the difference in published price, as long as canyon Travel holds the space required. If we have to make a special request for alternative or extra space, an administration fee of £25 per booking will be charged.

If you want to change any part of your holiday arrangements after the balance invoice has been issued, this can be done (up to 61 days prior to your departure) for a charge of £25 per booking, subject to availability and any extra costs incurred.

If you want to make any changes within 61 days of your departure date, then these will be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and cancellation charges will apply.
