SEA TRAVEL CONDITIONS OF CARRIAGE AND INTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONS : Land, sea and air carriers will have their own conditions of carriage with which you must comply. In the case of sea travel the provisions of the Athens Convention 1974 relating to the carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea will apply. This Convention and the Sea carrier’s conditions of carriage may continue to apply to you and your party throughout your stay on board the ship and during boarding and disembarkation. The Convention presumes that your baggage has been delivered undamaged unless you will give full written details to the carrier (i) in the case of apparent damage before you disembark from the ship or the baggage is redelivered to you, or (ii) the case of damage which is not apparent or of loss, within 15 days of disembarkation or from the time when your luggage should have been redelivered to you. The Athens Convention, and the carriers’ conditions may limit or exclude liability for death or personal injury, or loss of or damage to luggage, and make special provision for valuables. This information notice summaries 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 113,100 SDR’s, 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 the compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16,000 SDR’s. Passenger delays: In the case of a 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 4,694 SDR’s. Baggage delays: In the case of baggage 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 baggage delay is 1,131 SDR’s. Destruction, loss or damage to baggage: The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to 1,131 SDR’s. In the case of checked baggage, it is liable even if not at fault, unless the baggage was defective. In the case of checked baggage, 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 check-in and by paying a supplementary fee. Complains on baggage: If he baggage is damaged, delayed, lost or destroyed, the passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as soon as possible. In the case of damage to checked baggage, the passenger must write and complain within 7 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. In the case of delayed or damaged or lost baggage the passenger must complete a PIR (Passenger Irregularity Report) at the airport.

LIABILITY OF CONTRACTING AND ACTUAL CARRIERS : If the air carrier actually performing the flight is not the same as the contracting air carrier, the passenger has the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of an airline is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier. Time limits for action: Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival to the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived. Basis for the information: The basis for the rules described above is the Montreal Convention of 28th May 1999, which is implemented in the Community by Regulation EC No. 2017/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No. 889/2002 and national legislation of the member states. A copy of any of conditions of carriage applicable to the holiday in the conventions referred to above can be supplied on request.

ADVANCE PASSENGER INFORMATION : A number of Governments are introducing new requirements for air carriers to provide personal information about all travellers on their aircraft to the Authorities before the aircraft leaves Ireland or the country of departure. The data will be collected either at the airport when you check in or in some circumstances when, or after you make your booking. Accordingly, you are advised to allow extra time to check in for your flight. Where the airline collects this data, they will treat it in accordance with their privacy policy. If the airline cancels or makes a major change to your flight, less than 30 days before departure, in certain cases they will pay compensation. The compensation that they offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so.

FORCE MAJEURE : Except where otherwise expressly stated in the airline’s booking conditions the airline will not be liable or pay compensation if their contractual obligations to you are affected by any event which they or their supplier of the service in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. These events can include, but are not limited to war, threat of war, civil strife, terrorist activity and its consequences or the threat of such activity, riot, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster and adverse weather, sea, ice and river conditions and all similar events outside the airlines or their suppliers control. Advice from the Foreign Office to avoid or leave a particular country may constitute force majeure.

CONDITIONS OF OTHER SUPPLIERS : Many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers. For example, these suppliers may provide ground arrangements/transfers/theme park tickets/excursions etc., Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions which will form part of your contract with us. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable international conventions. Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are clearly displayed on the relevant documentation you will be provided with and are also available on request from the supplier concerned.

All flight, hotel and car rental prices are subject to availability and offers may be withdrawn or amended at any time without prior notification. Wecanbookit Ireland Ltd., trading as Best4Travel accepts no liability should any such offer be withdrawn or amended. In some instances, online check-in may not be available when flights are booked with various airlines. You will be required to check in at the desk at your departure airport on the day of travel.

AIRLINE CODESHARES : Many airlines operate on a code share basis with their commercial partners. This means that a flight can be operated on one carrier’s behalf by a partner airline and quite possibly more than one flight number. This is common practice with the majority of carriers. The code share agreement may result in a different partner airline flying the route or portion of the route with a different aircraft seat configuration.

E-TICKETS : Most airlines offer only electronic confirmation of your reservation, or “e-ticketing” on certain routes. We cannot be held responsible if your e-ticket does not arrive due to an incorrect email address or your spam/junk email settings. You can ensure your e-tickets get to you by adding Best4Travel to your “safe site” list. You must notify us immediately if you change your e-mail address or contact telephone number after making a booking with Best4Travel. In addition, please check that the name on your passport matches the name on your ticket and/or booking confirmation. It is your responsibility to advise us if you have not received your e-ticket confirmation or if there are any issues with names etc.

FLYING TIMES : In your itinerary from www.best4travel.ie flight times are given for guidance only. All departure/arrival times on your flight ticket are provided by the airlines concerned and are estimates only and are subject to change, even at short notice. They may change due to air traffic control restrictions, weather conditions, operational/maintenance requirements and the requirement for passengers to check in on time. We are not liable if there is any change to a departure/arrival time previously given to you or shown on your ticket or for any other alteration to your flight by the relevant airline. Also please note that where a sector of a flight itinerary is not utilized without contacting the carrier directly any remaining sectors may be subject to cancellation without further notification. Failure to utilize the outbound sector will, in most case, result in the forfeiture of the inbound flight. Where any of the above situations arise, we are unable to accept responsibility for any losses or costs incurred. It is for this reason that you are required to reconfirm your flights with the airline in accordance with the airline’s terms and conditions and applicable reconfirmation deadline. For all air travel it is your responsibility to check the departure and arrival times of your flight at time of travel. Please note airline flight timings are provided on the 24-hour clock. We are unable to make any special arrangements for you if you are delayed as these matters are at the sole discretion of the airline concerned and their handling agents at the relevant airports. Please note that the times shown on your ticket or itinerary are the departure times of the flight. Check-in times, as advised by the carrier or in the airline’s timetable are the latest times at which passengers can be accepted for travel. Allowing the necessary time to compete all formalities. Flights cannot be held up for passengers arriving late and no responsibility can be accepted by us or the airline in such cases.

SEAT REQUESTS : We have no control over the airlines’ allocation of seats and so, if you have a particular seat request, you purchase your required preference at the time of booking your flights or alternatively you should check-in at the airport as early as possible if you do not wish to pre-book your seat. There is a charge involved for all pre-bookable seats and these charges vary depending on the seat allocation. We cannot guarantee that any requests will be met.

DIRECT FLIGHTS : Please note that a flight described on your flight ticket as “direct” will not necessarily be non-stop. A flight that is described as direct is one where there is no need to change aircraft during the journey.

PREGNANCY AND CHILDREN : Please note that most airlines refuse to carry women who will be 28 weeks or more pregnant on the date of return travel. Please check with the airline concerned as their rules may vary and also consult your doctor. We recommend you carry a doctor’s note or certificate with you, which will ensure your due-date is verified. Infants must be six weeks old or more to travel by air and must either sit on an adult’s lap or occupy a seat. Please contact the airline you are travelling with for details of appropriate seats. Infants will be required to sit on an adult’s lap for take-off and landing irrespective of whether or not they occupy a seat. Children aged two or more must occupy a seat and please note if a child reaches the age of two prior to the return date of travel, a full child seat must be purchased. As indicated above a child must be under two years of age on the date of their return fight to be entitled to the infant fare level which is usually 10% of the International Air Transport Association’s (or IATA’S) published fare. Airlines regard those aged 0-23 months for the entire travel period as infants, and those ages 2-11 years for the entire travel period as children. Any other person is required to pay the adult fare.

GOVERNMENT IMPOSED TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES : The price of your flight may include taxes, fees and charges, which are imposed on air transportation by government authorities. They may represent a significant portion of the cost of air travel and are either included in the fare or shown separately on your ticket. You may also be required to pay taxes or fees or other charges not already collected, for example, it is not always possible to include all departure taxes on your ticket(s). In some cases departure taxes must be paid direct by you locally to the Government of the country you are departing from and are therefore non-refundable by us. Please note some departure taxes are collected in cash in certain countries and it is therefore advisable to check this before travel as this information changes from time to time.

Wecanbookit Ireland Limited trading as Best4Travel holds full ITAA membership. We are also accredited by the IATA. Travel arrangements offered on this site tend to fall into 2 main categories:

• 1) PACKAGE HOLIDAYS AND TOUR OPERATOR HOLIDAYS : Where Package Holidays are offered for sale these are supplied by leading Irish Tour Operators for an inclusive price. These arrangements will typically include transportation (usually schedule or charter flights on fixed departure dates and for a fixed duration), accommodation, transfers and representative services in resort for an inclusive price. Package holidays are protected under the Tour Operator’s own CAR Licence. We act as agents for licensed tour operators.
• 2) Flight only and or individual travel arrangements : Flight and hotel arrangements generally offer much greater flexibility than Package Holidays giving the traveller the opportunity to choose from a vast array of flights for a range of durations. To these arrangements can be added accommodation, car hire, transfers, and travel insurance as required. Each booking is a separate and distinct booking and our bookings, even though they may be linked to the same dates of travel do not constitute a package holiday. All bookings are purchased individually at their own individual price. The total price for several bookings is the sum of the price charged for each individual booking, which will include Best4Travel’s commission. Charter flights – all charter flights available on this web site are fully protected via the scheme operated by the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR). Refunds are provided by CAR, if applicable, direct to you. All of these arrangements clearly carry the message on the acknowledgement and confirmation pages and on the confirmation email you receive.

COMMUNITY LIST : In accordance with European regulations we are required to bring to your attention the existence of a “community list” which contains details of air carriers that are subject to an operating ban within the European Community. The Community List is available for inspection at https://ec.europa.eu/transport/sites/transport/files/air-safety-list_en.pdf We reserve the right to change your airline in the event that the airline is blacklisted under the EU Regulations.

DENIED BOARDING, CANCELLATION OR FLIGHT DELAYS : Pursuant to Regulation EC261/2004 airline passengers are granted new rights including, in certain circumstances, the right to cancel their flight and receive reimbursement of the cost of the flight from the airline. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU Airports and will also be available from the affected airlines. The reimbursement of the cost of a flight that forms part of your travel itinerary does not change the booking conditions of the other travel arrangements. Please note that if you have booked a package holiday full details of these rights will be published at EU Airports by the relevant charter airline and will also be available from the affected airlines. However, please note that reimbursement of the cost of the flight that forms part of a package holiday is the responsibility of your holiday airline and will not automatically entitle you to reimbursement of the cost of your holiday. Further information may be found on http://ec.europa.eu and please note reimbursement is the responsibility of the airline and you must contact them direct and state you are applying under EC261/2004.

ONE WAY TICKETS : Please note that some one-way tickets (inbound), e.g., Bangkok to London, shown on our site can only be purchased in conjunction with a valid ticket from Ireland. Airlines retain the right to cancel one-way tickets that do not adhere to this rule as they may not conform to Visa regulations from the countries involved.

These fees can range from €10.00 Euro per day and from US Dollars 25 to 50 in the United States. Once you have selected your car please read the car rental rules where you will be able to find the amount payable.

Maximum Age : There are very few locations which have an upper age limit. These can vary from the age of 60 upwards. If you are over the age of 60 it is your responsibility to check with the rental supplier for eligibility. If you fail to check and you are over the age limit you may not be given the car.

Rental Deposit : Car Rental agencies only accept credit cards for securing your deposit at the rental location. You must use a credit card and it must be the driver’s credit card. We will not be liable for any compensation or otherwise if you do not have a credit card at the time of collecting the car and if you are refused rental by the supplier. Please note extra charges may apply on collection of your hired car, despite having paid in full at the time of booking, we cannot be held responsible for any such charges which are at the sole discretion of the car hire company.

Driving Licence : A Valid Driving Licence is required for all drivers. The licence must be valid at the time of rental and remain valid throughout the rental period. We will not be liable for any compensation or otherwise if you fail to show a valid driver’s licence to the supplier and are refused rental.

Irish Licence Holders : If you do not present your driving licence you will not get a vehicle. If your licence is written in Chinese, Russian or any “picture” script you will need to obtain an international driver’s permit before you travel from your country of residence.

Excess Waiver : Although our rates are fully inclusive there is always an excess to pay. This means that in the event of an accident/damage or theft, the driver will be expected to pay the first part of the claim. This can vary depending on the car you hire and the destination you are travelling to.

Late Return of Your Vehicle : The rental rate is calculated based on the return time agreed when picking up the vehicle. If the vehicle is kept longer than originally planned, you may be liable for an overcharge.

Rental Agreement : The Rental Agreement is given to you to sign when you pick up your vehicle. This contains all of the information about your rental and it is your responsibility to check this document carefully before signing. You must also retain a copy. Best4Travel will not be liable in relation to any breach of this agreement. Child Safety Seats Children from their third birthday up to their 12th birthday or up to 135cm in height (whichever is attained sooner) must be restrained in a suitable sat in the rear of the vehicle. The law states that it is the responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to comply.
