Please read these terms and conditions carefully. They apply to all holidays and flights described in this brochure/website and they deal with your rights and obligations to us and ours to you. We are committed to a policy of fair trading and make every effort to ensure that you have an enjoyable holiday with us.
The air holidays and flights in this brochure/website are ATOL Protected, since we hold an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence granted by the Civil Aviation Authority. Our ATOL number is 5188. 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 us for an advance booking. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk
As soon as we dispatch your holiday confirmation invoice, but not before, your contract with Travel One takes effect. Once the contract is made, we are responsible to you to provide the holiday you have booked (unless the holiday is cancelled due to the minimum group number not being reached) and you are responsible to us to pay for it subject to our advertised terms and conditions detailed elsewhere in the brochure/website. Please note it is your responsibility to check carefully the written confirmation of your booking (that all details are correct) when you receive it, or, if booking late, that all the details are exactly as requested at the time of booking. Our responsibility is to provide you with the holiday you have booked as described in the brochure/website and as confirmed to you. If you wish to cancel or change your booking you may have to pay cancellation or amendment charges. With parties of two or more people, the person who makes the booking accepts responsibility for making all payments to Travel One Ltd for all members of the party. We will send all documents and other information to that person who will, in turn, be responsible for ensuring that the other members of the party are kept fully informed.
All prices in the brochure/website are in pounds sterling per person and are based on one person in a room or cabin for sole use. As this brochure/website is prepared many months before the start of the holiday season to which it relates, we reserve the right to raise or lower prices at any time before you book. If, at the time of booking your holiday, the price has changed from that shown in the brochure/website you will be advised of the new price applicable to your booking before you confirm the holiday reservation.
Payment for your holiday is as follows : a) if you book more than 12 weeks before your holiday departure date (15 weeks for cruises) you are required to pay a non-refundable deposit. Irrespective of when you book, the deposit is just £200 person on all holidays except Mexico, Antigua, India, Christmas & New Year holidays and cruises. Please note certain airlines (e.g. easyJet), require full payment for the flight element of the holiday at the time of booking. In such cases, Travel One will require a higher (non-refundable) deposit to cover the cost of the flight. This only applies to all Travel One singles holidays in the Travel One brochure and on the Travel One website. The balance is payable 12 weeks before departure (15 weeks for cruises) and will be taken automatically by Travel One from the debit or credit card with which you paid the deposit. b) if you book less than 12 weeks before departure (15 weeks for cruises) you must pay the full price of your holiday at the time of making the booking. In certain circumstances or in the event of Travel One’s flight allocation being full and additional seats being purchased from another operator or airline, you may be required to pay, in advance, for the full flight element of the holiday to secure the holiday booking. In such cases the minimum amendment or cancellation charge, in the event of you amending or cancelling the holiday, would be the cost of the flight. This only applies to all Travel One singles holidays in the Travel One brochure and on the Travel One website. Payment may be made by cheque (if there is time to clear it to meet the payment schedule shown above – you should allow 5 working days for clearance from the time we receive it), or with a debit or credit card (a surcharge may apply) acceptable by Travel One. We reserve the right to cancel your holiday if you fail to make payment on time. In this case, you would then owe Travel One the cancellation charges set out in the Booking Conditions.
If you have a special request which does not form part of the holiday as described in the brochure/website (for example, dietary requirements or room location) please let us know. We will always try to provide such requests but cannot guarantee to do so. Under no circumstances will such requests be accepted by us to form part of our contractual obligations and there will be no liability on our part if the special request cannot be provided.
It is a condition of booking that you take out holiday insurance, please ensure your insurance is comprehensive. Travel One is not authorised to provide advice regarding travel insurance as defined by the Financial Services Authority. The cost of medical and other treatment overseas can be high, and, if no insurance is taken, we will not be able to assist you in any way in the event of illness or an accident. Please also ensure that you are fully protected against possible flight delays. We require you to give us details of the insurance you have arranged. As cancellation cover applies immediately.
Should you wish to change any of the details of your booking once the booking is confirmed by us, we will do our best to help. However, we have no obligation to make any change other than to allow you or any member of your party who is prevented from travelling to amend or cancel the booking. The cancellation and/or any changes must be confirmed in writing by the person who made the booking. Please note that a change of resort will be treated as a cancellation and re-booking. Please note too that we cannot accept any changes communicated to us by any other person on the booking. All correspondence should be sent by e-mail or by recorded delivery. If an amendment to the holiday is possible, a charge will be made as outlined in the scale below but please note that in all cases all cancellation charges made will be (at least) the cost of the flight(s) booked:
| When notification of change is received by Travel One | Change of name and/or any other changes |
| More than 84 days before departure | £100 per person |
| 84 days or less before departure | Cancellation Charges |
IMPORTANT In addition to the charges shown above we may also have to charge you any additional costs involved. Scheduled airlines and most charter airlines normally regard name changes and date changes as a cancellation and re-booking so any name change or date change at any time may incur a 100% cancellation charge for the flight. It is not possible to change your departure date to a later or earlier date without incurring charges as shown under ‘other changes’.
If you wish to make any change whilst on holiday (e.g. changing your accommodation or resort, extending / curtailing your stay) all requests are subject to availability and normal booking conditions will apply. There will be cancellation and / or amendment charges if you change from one resort / hotel / cruise to another during your holiday.
In certain cases, we start to incur costs for your holiday from the time we confirm your booking. Should you cancel, the closer your departure date is, the less likely we will be able to re-sell the holiday. It follows, therefore, that if you cancel your holiday there will be a cancellation charge, and the later the cancellation, the higher that charge will be. If you wish to cancel your holiday, the cancellation must be in writing and authorised by the person in whose name the booking is invoiced. These written instructions should be sent immediately to our reservations department. All cancellations should be sent by recorded delivery or by e-mail. Cancellation takes effect from the date we receive your letter or e-mail. Cancellation charges will be calculated as set out in the table below and will be notified in writing (please remember these charges also apply if you fail to make payment on time and, as a result, we cancel your holiday).
| When the cancellation is received by Travel One before departure | Charges as a % of total holiday cost (excluding insurance premiums) |
| More than 84 days | Deposit |
| 42 – 84 days | 60% or deposit if greater |
| 22 – 41 days | 80% or deposit if greater |
| Departure date to 21 days | 100% |
Please note that if you cancel your holiday for a reason covered by your insurance policy (whether arranged through us or otherwise) you will be able to reclaim your cancellation charges subject to any excess payable. Cancellation charges exclude the insurance premium which is not refundable. Cruises, Christmas and New Year holidays and holidays involving scheduled flights may involve higher cancellation charges and these will be advised at the time of the proposed cancellation.
The Travel One brochure/website is prepared many months before the holiday season (to which it relates) commences so changes may be made to the information contained in it. If any material changes occur before you book, we will tell you at the time of booking. It may be necessary, even after we have confirmed your booking, to amend your holiday arrangements. Most changes will be of a minor nature (e.g. changing to accommodation of the same or higher category) and will have little effect on your holiday. If possible, we will inform you as soon as possible before your departure but will have no other liability to you. Occasionally we may have to make a significant change (including cancellation) to your holiday after confirmation. Significant changes are as follows : * Change of UK departure airport (other than Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted or Luton which are all classified as a London airport), *A single change of your time of departure from or to the UK by more than 12 hours, * Change of resort * Change of accommodation where the new accommodation is of a lower official category (where applicable). If we have to make a significant change we will notify you as soon as possible and you may then : a) accept the change and the contract between us will be varied to incorporate the change. b) purchase another available holiday from us at its advertised price. c) withdraw from the booking completely in which case we will refund all monies paid to Travel One. However, we will not cancel your holiday less than 4 weeks before your departure date other than for operational reasons, the holiday not being available for whatever reason, reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance.
On all multi-centre holidays, Travel One reserves the right to amend the holiday itinerary for operational reasons. On Gulet cruises, Travel One reserves the right to amend the port of arrival / departure and the cruise itinerary for operational reasons.
This means that we will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your travel arrangements in any way because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. These can include, for example, war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist threats/activity and their consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire and adverse weather conditions.
We accept full liability for the proper performance of our obligations under our agreement with you for the provision of your holiday. If you or any member of your party suffers damage by our failure to perform or our improper performance of our agreement with you for the provision of your holiday, we accept liability except in the following circumstances:
a) if the failure or improper performance is your fault or the fault of any member of your party
b) if the failure is the fault of someone else not connected with the provision of the services which make up the holiday which we have confirmed to you
c) any unusual and unforeseeable circumstance beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised
d) any event where we or the supplier of any service, even with due care, could not foresee or forestall.

Our liability will be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to the contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract. Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail, and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers, and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions.
If you have a complaint while you are on holiday you must inform the local representative or agent and the appropriate supplier immediately who, in turn, must inform our UK office. They will do their best to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. If you wish to pursue your complaint on return to the U.K., you must write to our Customer Services Department at our London office and send the letter by recorded delivery or by e-mail. We regret we cannot, at any time, accept telephone calls relating to complaints nor can we accept any complaint on behalf of another person or if it is received more than 28 days after your return to the U.K. Please note that compensation and/or refunds, where applicable, will be paid to the person in whose name the booking was made.
