All booking variations made 30 days or more after booking; including transferring between tour packages and departure dates, incur an amendment fee from $100 per person per change to be paid at the time of the change (other fees may apply). Amendments within 90 days of departure will be regarded as a cancellation and will incur heavy penalties.

For any changes that involve amendments to fixed group flights or default package components, such as airline upgrades, stopovers and breakaways from the group itinerary, all associated fees are payable immediately at the time of the change.
A surcharge from $100 per person is applicable to clients who request booking components such as flights be finalised earlier than the standard booking finalisation time frame of within 30 days of booking, or 90 days before departure, whichever comes first.
Changes must be made in writing by the person who made the original booking, or his or her travel agent. Once a booking is confirmed, name transfers are not permitted and will be regarded as a cancellation.
