For your convenience, our use of the following terms in these Terms & Conditions we will have the meaning below:
"Service Element" - Singular product or services listed on the Site that can be booked independently of any other service. (e.g.: car, hotel, flight).
"Travel Supplier" - Vendor of one or more Service Elemheapflyfaresents. (e.g.: hotels, car suppliers, airlines). flightfaredeals.com does not act as principal but makes arrangements with third-party vendor Travel Suppliers for Service Elements, all as defined above.
"Booking / Reservation" - a negotiation process with the Travel Supplier carried out by you while using this site for the purpose of getting one or more service elements that may result in a contract with the Travel Supplier at the time we receive full payment and accept your offer.
In order to complete a Booking the following steps are taken to secure its validity:
When we place service elements on our site, we are inviting you to make an offer for their purchase. You do not make this offer until you press "Book" on the payment page (entitled "Review Trip Details and Book") of the site.
Once you have done so you have made flightfaredeals.com an offer (which cannot be withdrawn if you change your mind) to purchase the relevant service element(s) from the relevant Travel Supplier(s) (your "Booking"). We are free to accept your offer on behalf of the relevant Travel Supplier or to reject it, based on our power to make final decisions.
The flightfaredeals.com email confirmation is NOT the contractual acceptance of the Booking, but only an acknowledgement that we have received your offer. We will need to check the availability of the relevant service element(s).
If the relevant service element is available, your booking will be processed. The contract pertaining to the relevant Booking is formed when payment in full has been received.
The contract between you and the relevant Travel Supplier will relate only to those service elements confirmed by email with ticket number(s) / pnr number(s) in case of air or reservation numbers in case of hotels, cars or other activities.
Until the contract is not formed between you and the Travel Supplier and the ticket has been issued and/or a reservation has been made and confirmed by the Travel Supplier the terms of your Booking (such as price, availability and/or dates of travel) are not guaranteed. Please note that once you have completed the Booking stage you can only cancel or change the details (such as names or destinations) of your Booking at our sole discretion and in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.
These Booking processes will apply to any of our individual service element's Terms & Conditions set out below. The airline ticket Terms & Conditions, the hotel Terms & Conditions, the car rental Terms & Conditions, the attractions and services Terms & Conditions supplement any area not covered by the Booking process. We reserve the right to change the Booking process at any time, with changes automatically taking effect from the date such changes are posted on the site.
Government-issued photo ID is required at all times throughout the trip for security checks at airports, hotels and car rental locations and may be required for attractions and other products as considered necessary by the relevant Travel Suppliers.
In addition to the required government-issued ID as stated above, proof of citizenship (Passport) is required for international travel (for most countries outside of the United States). Please note that it is your sole responsibility to ensure that you meet the passport, visa, and/or health requirements of the countries you wish to visit and those that you transit (even if it is for a simple flight change). Many countries require that your passport should be valid for a minimum period from the date of arrival into that country. For any questions regarding what the applicable minimum period is and any other conditions or passport/visa requirements for travel, you should contact the corresponding local consulate of the countries to which you are traveling.
Neither flightfaredeals.com nor its employees accept any responsibility, and you will not be entitled to any refunds whatsoever if you are denied boarding, delayed or deported due to non-fulfillment of the above.
flightfaredeals.com reserves the right to correct errors in any advertised price and, if applicable, give you an option to either cancel the Booking or allow flightfaredeals.com to collect an amount equal to any increase in price from your provided credit or debit card, prior to your departure.
Once you have made your Booking, you cannot transfer or change the name(s) or destination(s) listed in your Booking.
Your Booking will be fulfilled on the delivery date set out in your ticket information email or, if no delivery date is specified, then on the date the ticket is issued, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
