Huda Tours offers lots of diverse products and explicit terms and conditions relating to your booking depending on whether you book a Flight or other particular Package, hotels, holiday lodges, or a combination of products. Huda Tours acts as negotiators for third-party suppliers such as airlines, hotels, insurance, and car rental companies, package holiday suppliers, and others (Travel Supplier). When you make a booking via the Site, and once your chosen travel product or service is accessible, the contract will be between the Travel Supplier and you. Huda Tours is not a party to the contractual relationship; (c) ‘Other Products’ are those separate products – e.g. flights and hotels purchased and paid for at dissimilar times, and holidays packaged by another supplier. When you make a booking via the Site, and your preferred travel product or service is accessible, the contract will be between the Travel Supplier and you. Huda Tours is not a party to the contractual relationship. Huda Tours STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TAKE OUT INSURANCE FOR ANY UMRAH/HAJJ PACKAGE, ESPECIALLY AS THERE MAY BE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE NEITHER Huda Tours NOR THE TRAVEL SUPPLIER CAN ACCEPT LIABILITY (e.g. DELAYS OR CANCELLATIONS
BEYOND OUR CONTROL).
Travel Suppliers:
Huda Tours acts as disclosed Agent for third-party suppliers and for the use of these terms and conditions tour operators, hotels, hotel chains and hotel aggregators, insurance and car suppliers, plus all airlines, shall be incorporated in the term ‘Travel Supplier’. In these cases your contract is between you and the Travel Supplier, and any queries or concerns relating to the product should be addressed to them. You will glance at the name and address, plus contact details, for most of the suppliers at the bottom of the more info segment for each product or for all suppliers in any verification e-mail that we or the Travel Supplier send you. Huda Tours does not presume any liability for the travel products and services provided by the Travel Supplier and makes no representations or warranties (express or implied) about the aptness or quality of travel products and services featured on the Site.
Travel Supplier Conditions:
The following applies to all products or services booked via our Site: The Travel Supplier’s terms and conditions (including airlines’ terms and conditions of carriage) will apply in addition to those set out here. The Travel Supplier’s terms and conditions may include necessities relating to payment procedures, default, liability, cancellations, changes of bookings and refunds (if available), and any other restrictions. As a result, as you move through the Site you will see links to terms applying to specific Travel Supplier products (you are advised to read those terms carefully) – however, please refer to your particular Travel Supplier for full details as to the applicable terms and conditions. You are responsible for complying with any airline or other Travel Supplier conditions in relation to check-in times, reconfirmation of flights, or
other matters.
Flights Booking Terms & Conditions:
In particular, please note that in relation to airfares, there are additional terms specific to that fare. For example, ‘economy-restricted’ tickets are normally non-changeable and non-refundable. Flights must be used in the order set out in your itinerary – e.g. a failure to use the outbound flight or first stage of a journey could invalidate the rest of the ticket. Please note that, in relation to flight tickets, the recommended minimum check-in time is 120 minutes prior to departure for international flights and 90 minutes for domestic flights. Some airlines require you to reconfirm your return flight booking at least 72 hours before travel. Failure to reconfirm your flight booking directly with the airline may result in cancellation. In addition, the majority of airlines reserve the right to make schedule changes and cancel confirmed bookings. While Huda Tours, as Agent, is not responsible for such schedule changes or cancellations, we will provide you with any reasonable assistance you require via our customer services. We strongly recommend (particularly if you are flying economy class), that you check in early if you have particular seat requests. Huda Tours has no control over the allocation of seats, even if pre-booked with the airline, and can make no guarantee that specific seats will be available on departure. Huda Tours is not responsible for the costs of any transfers between airports or terminals that you may incur. Flights priced at special fares or best prices may not take the most direct route. Some itineraries require a change of aircraft en route. A flight that is described as direct is one where there is no need to change aircraft during the journey. However, stops may be made en route for re-fuelling or to let passengers on and/or off. The times given are given on the 24-hour clock system, approximate, and based on outbound flights.
Flights Booking Terms & Conditions:
Direct (Flight): Flights that must keep a similar flight number throughout, though it may stop for a change of aircraft (equipment). They are different from nonstop flights, which travel directly from the departing airport to the absolute destination without stopping for connections or layovers.
Nonstop (Flight): Those Flight, that travel directly from the departure airport to the final destination without stopping for links or layovers. They are dissimilar from direct flights, which only must carry on the same flight number all through, though it may stop for a change of aircraft.
FINANCIAL PROTECTION:
Flight only: We provide financial protection for some (but not all) of our flight-only services by way of our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, Gatwick Airport South, West Sussex, TH6 0YR telephone 0208-146-1830 or, email info@hudatours.com. When you buy an ATOL-protected flight from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you, and who to contact if things go wrong. Note: Flights that we sell as authorized ticket agents for the airline are not protected. We will tell you at the time of booking if your flight is ATOL-protected and issue you with an ATOL Certificate. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate, your flight will not be ATOL-protected. Flight package: Where we sell a flight package as an agent for the organizer, you will be protected by the organizer’s ATOL and the ATOL holder’s name and number will be detailed in your booking confirmation. Where we sell a flight package as an organizer, please refer to Clause 5 of Section B which will apply. Where your flight is ATOL protected, we or the suppliers of the services you have bought will provide you with the services you have bought (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier can do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances, the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body if that other body has paid the sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. Non-flight package: Where we act as an agent for a package organized by a third party, we will advise you of the financial protection arranged by the organizer in the case of the organizer’s insolvency. We are only responsible for arranging financial protection for your package where we are organizer (see Section B Clause 5).
