Air Arrangements from Additional Cities

Airfare from other locations may be purchased through Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel. All carriers are independent operators and are not owned, managed, or operated by Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel. Your airline ticket is a contract between you and the air carrier only, even if you purchase through Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel. By purchasing your air services through Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel you waive all liability for Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel for such air services.

Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel is not responsible if an airline cancels, reschedules, or delays a flight for any reason. If you purchased scheduled air through Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel, we will try to assist in making new arrangements, provided you have not already checked in with your airline for your first flight segment. After check-in, you must work with the airline directly to reach your destination or to make any alternate arrangements, including amendments to return services. Airline fees often apply for modifications to air schedules not related to airline-imposed flight cancellations, reschedules, or delays. These fees will be payable to the airline directly at time of request.

If you miss your departure flight or connection, it is your responsibility to work with the airline on which you are ticketed to reach your destination. No refunds will be provided by Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel for portions of trips missed due to canceled, rescheduled, or delayed flights after airport check-in, nor is Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel responsible for any additional expenses you may incur prior to joining your trip if you miss your departure flight or flight connection. For air purchased through Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel, if any air schedule requires an overnight stay in a gateway city, Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel can assist you with hotel reservations; however, the cost of the overnight stay (including, but not limited to, hotel and meals) is your expense. Air routings are subject to availability. Routings are not guaranteed and are subject to change at any time.

If you make your own flight arrangements, Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel will not be responsible for any loss resulting from cancellation or changes in itineraries or travel dates. We recommend that you do not purchase airline tickets with high penalty charges for changes. 

Baggage Allowance

Air carrier restrictions may vary from the limitations listed above. Size and weight limitations for carry-on and checked baggage vary from airline to airline and even according to destination. While making an air booking, you will be provided with baggage fee information. After booking an airline ticket, up-to-date information on carrier- specific standard checked baggage allowance (including size and weight limitations), the standard allowance (and fee, if applicable) for carry-on baggage, and the standard fee for the first and second checked bag, along with the information about additional discounts that may apply depending on flyer-specific factors (e.g., frequent flyer status, military, credit card used for purchase, or early purchase over the Internet, etc.), can be found on the carrier’s website.

Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel is not responsible for additional fees imposed by air carriers for baggage, and these fees are not included in the air-inclusive tour price. You will be required to pay these fees directly to the airline at check-in. No responsibility is accepted by Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel for loss of or damage to baggage or any of the traveler’s belongings throughout the duration of the tour. Travelers are strongly encouraged to not bring valuables such as jewelry and large amounts of cash. Any such valuables should not be left in baggage out of the control of the traveler.

 

Carry-on bags should not exceed the dimensions of 12" x 11" x 6". For safety reasons, wheeled carry-on bags are not suitable as hand luggage on motor coaches and mini-buses. Carry-on bags must be small enough to store in overhead bins or under the seat in front of you on motor coaches and other transportation.

Hotels

Traveler agrees to be responsible for all incidental charges incurred in excess of those covered by the package. Incidental charges can include food, beverages, telephone use, internet use, parking fees, and other hotel charges. All hotels require a credit card for incidental charges at time of check-in. Hotels expect departing guests to vacate rooms by the posted check-out time and arriving guests to check-in later than the posted check-in time. Most hotels do their best to minimize inconvenience and store luggage if one chooses to arrive early or depart late. 

Check-in times vary; Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel cannot control or guarantee check-in times.

Itinerary Changes

All tour itineraries are subject to change taking into consideration specific circumstances in the destination out of Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel control.

The hotels listed on the website are intended to be used; however, hotels are not guaranteed. Collegiate Athletic Travel/Centre For Travel reserves the right to substitute other hotels than those listed on the itinerary pages. If a change becomes necessary for any reason, or hotel location changes within or outside itinerary cities, the hotel substituted will be of equivalent quality to those shown. No refunds are provided for hotel changes; full cancellation penalties, as noted above, apply.

Payments

Payment in full is due at the time of booking.

Payment may be made by credit card or check. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted. Credit card charges will appear on your statement from Collegiate Athletic Travel. 

Payment on any tour indicates you and all members of your travelling party have read and accepted these Terms & Conditions. 

Cancellations

Notice of cancellation must be received in writing. 

 

No refunds will be issued for cancellations unless the participant's hotel space and ticket is resold. If space is resold, participant will receive a full refund, less a $75 professional fee. No refunds will be issued for unused transportation or for other package inclusions not used by the participant.

Airline tickets are non-refundable once ticketed.

Refunds will not be given for unused travel services or other package inclusions not used by the participant. If cancellation by one of more travelers alters the room requirements of the remaining travelers, those still traveling will be required to pay a revised rate. We regret that we cannot make exceptions for personal emergencies. We request that you consider purchasing travel insurance.
