Prices

The prices stated on our homepage are inclusive of all fixed, non-optional applicable taxes, supplements, fees and charges (“Taxes”). Passengers who want to book a return flight should indicate this when entering their flight details. You will then see the corresponding price for each one-way flight, or each sector price in circumstances where a return flight must be purchased. Once all flights have been chosen, the total fare including all Taxes and other optional fees and charges (if any) will be displayed before your booking is confirmed.

We reserve the right to increase or decrease fares, at any time, without notice. In the event that a fare decreases after you have made your booking, we are unable to refund any difference between the fare paid and any lower fare, which may subsequently become available.

Taxes

When you make your booking, we will tell you of all the Taxes and optional fee and charges (if any), which will apply to your fare at the time of booking. Taxes change constantly and may be imposed or changed after the date on which we have issued a booking confirmation to you. You will have to pay us any increases in such Taxes, and similarly, if any Taxes you have paid to us are reduced or abolished, you will be entitled to claim a refund. Such right shall not apply in respect of any surcharge paid in respect of aviation fuel costs. Certain departure taxes or airport levies, may not be shown on your booking confirmation, and may be levied at certain international airports. You should ensure you have adequate funds for these taxes which are payable locally.

Payment

Full payment is required as soon as you confirm your booking. Payment is by credit or debit card only.

Payment by credit or debit card (other than visa electron) attracts a handling fee, the amount of which will be displayed in the booking summary, before you are asked to confirm your booking. Please note, all journeys originating outside the UK, whether it be a return or one-way automatically attract a handling fee.

All bookings are non-refundable. Changes may, however, be made to your booking, subject to availability, as well as the conditions and charges stated on this website.

Should you instruct your credit/debit card company to “charge back” any payment(s) properly due from you in respect of your booking, we will charge you an administrative fee of £10 per incident and associated costs. We further reserve the right to cancel your booking and/or take legal action against you for all outstanding payment(s).

Booking

A legally binding contract will be formed when we send you the booking confirmation with your booking reference by e-mail, fax or by post (when booking through our call centre). We recommend that you take careful note of your booking reference because you will need it to check in and for any queries.

Please note that we can only check in the person named in the booking confirmation.

We recommend that you reconfirm your flights within 48-72 hours prior to departure, by calling the call centre.

Both we and the Carrier reserve the right to refuse carriage to any person who has made a booking in violation of any applicable law or licence or of any contract or regulation made by the Carrier or any applicable tour operator.

Air Carrier Liability for Passengers and their baggage

This information notice summarises the liability rules applied by Community air carriers as required by Community legislation and the Montreal Convention.

Compensation in the case of death or injury
There are no financial limits to the liability for Passenger injury or death. For damages up to 100,000 SDRs (approximately £80,000) the air carrier cannot contest claims for compensation. Above that amount, the air carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving that it was not negligent or otherwise at fault.

Advance payments
If a Passenger is killed or injured, the air carrier must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16,000 SDRs (approximately £13,000).

Passenger delays
In the case of Passenger delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for Passenger delay is limited to 4,150 SDRs (approximately £3,300).

Baggage delays
In case of baggage delays, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is limited to 1,000 SDRs (approximately £800).

Destruction, loss or damage to baggage
The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to 1000 SDRs (approximately £800). In the case of checked baggage, it is liable even if not at fault, unless the baggage was defective. In the case of unchecked luggage the carrier is liable only if at fault.

Higher limits for baggage
A Passenger can benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration at the latest at the check-in and by paying a supplemental fee.

Complaints on baggage
If the baggage is damaged, delayed, lost or destroyed, the Passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as soon as possible. In case of damage to checked baggage, the Passenger must write and complain within seven days, and in the case of delay within 21 days, in both cases from the date on which the baggage was placed at the Passenger's disposal.

Liability of contracting and actual carrier
If the air carrier is actually performing the flight is not the same as the contracting carrier, the Passenger has the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for the damages against either. If the name or the code of an air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier.

Time limit for action
Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date that the aircraft ought to have arrived.

Basis for the information
The basis for the rules described above is the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, which is implemented in the Community by Regulation (EC) No 2027/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No 889/2002 and national legislation of the United Kingdom.
