It is the responsibility of the traveller to ensure that he or she:(a) complies with all applicable government travel requirements including, without limitation, obtaining a passport and visas to enter the destinations to which you are travelling; and(b) checks in by the required check-in time. As there may be delays at the airport, you are advised to arrive at the airport within a reasonable period of time before your flight. We are not responsible for any delays you may experience. Passports are required for all travellers departing Australia, and for international travel generally. Many countries require that foreign nationals entering, hold a passport that is valid for a minimum period of at least 6 months from your date of return back to your Country of origin. When purchasing air travel, the name on the passport must match the name on the ticket otherwise you may not be able to travel and insurance may be invalid. If, after purchasing products or services but before travelling, any member of your party changes their name you must notify the relevant carrier or us immediately so that the necessary changes can be made to your documentation.

Australian citizens should contact the nearest embassy, high commission or consulate of the country you intend to visit well in advance of travel. The above information and any links are provided in good faith but should be treated as a guide only. Passport and visa regulations can change and it is your responsibility to ensure that you possess the relevant travel documents before you travel. It can often take some time to obtain a passport and/or visa, so you are advised to apply in plenty of time. We accept no responsibility in any regard in relation thereto including, without limitation, for customers who do not possess the correct travel documents. The Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or any of its successors may be able to provide some assistance in relation to the passport and visa requirements for your destination.

Bank and Credit Card Fees
Many card companies charge their account holders a transaction fee when the card issuer and the “merchant location” (as defined by the card brand (e.g. Visa, MasterCard, American Express)) are in different countries. The currency exchange rate, if applicable, and any transaction fee are determined solely by the bank or other agency processing the transaction. These fees may be applied by the card issuer as a charge to the cardholders' account. This means the amount listed on your credit or debit card statement may be a different figure than the figure shown on the billing summary page for a booking made on the Website. If you have any questions about these fees or any exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your bank
