AIRLINE TICKETS AND ITINERARY LENGTH: Air transportation to/from your destination will be economy class aboard carriers utilizing non-refundable, non-amenable tickets. Travel from U.S. airports other than those specified on your trip brochure will be priced on an individual basis within 30 days of receipt of registration. Once presented with a price for your individual flight itinerary, you will be expected to pay the full balance of that flight cost regardless of the payment schedule outlined in your trip brochure or be transferred to “Land Only” status on your registration. “Land Only” travelers are expected to make their own flight arrangements. Preliminary international flight schedules are available 60 days prior to departure and may change before they are finalized. Airport fees, departure taxes, and fuel surcharges are estimated on the original invoice and adjusted at the time of ticketing.
Therefore, if you book the domestic flight on your own, you will be responsible for changing your domestic flights and incurring any change fees that would be generated by this adjustment. We are not responsible for changes and delays in airline schedules and do not reimburse passengers for expenses resulting from such occurrences. Travelers making their own flight arrangements should not purchase non-refundable, non-changeable tickets. We cannot guarantee the most direct routing to your final destination. If flight schedules change such that Kingdom Tours is required by the airline to make new flight arrangements that exceed the airfare budget mentioned on your brochure then we reserve the right to charge our travelers the difference in cost. We also reserve the right to lengthen or shorten the itinerary to better account for changes to your flight schedule, and if changes or flight schedules necessitate extra overnights, you will be charged at normal hotel rates.
SEAT ASSIGNMENT: THERE IS NO ADVANCE SEAT SELECTION FOR TOUR DEPARTURES. Kingdom Tours cannot guarantee specific seats, which are at the discretion of the airline and are pending availability. When Kingdom Tours disperses travel packages, you will receive your record locator. You can use this locator to do online seating arrangements, if permitted by the airline.
BAGGAGE: Transatlantic and transpacific flights to and from the USA allow the passenger to bring one (1) checked bag, which may have a maximum weight of 50 lbs., and maximum combined dimensions of 62 inches. Also, one (1) “carry-on” with maximum dimensions of 22" x 14" x 9" is permitted. Luggage on domestic flights will cost extra. Luggage is the passenger’s responsibility and that of the airlines. For lost luggage, the passenger is responsible for notifying the airline directly. Check with your carrier regarding carry-on luggage rules and regulations.
PRICES: All prices are based on exchange rates and fares applicable at time of quotation and based on minimum number of paying passengers stated in the brochure and are therefore subject to change if fares change (including fuel surcharges increase), if group does not reach minimum or if exchange rates fluctuate. Minimum number of paying participants for this trip is 30. Group airfare prices are estimated on the date noted in your trip brochure and are subject to change in accordance with market rates at the time of ticketing. Any such change will be included on your final trip payment unless otherwise indicated on your brochure.
