Cancellation Policy

Cancellation By You

If you or anyone on your holiday booking decides to cancel the holiday you must notify us of the decision as soon as possible. Any notification by telephone must also be confirmed in writing or by e-mail (sent to Support@lookbestfare.com) within 24 hours by the person who made the original booking (from the email ID registered with us at the time of booking). Your notice of cancellation will only take effect when it is received in writing by us at our offices and will be effective from the date on which we receive it.

A cancellation invoice will be sent to you within 7 days. If you do not receive this please contact us immediately in order to prevent an increase in charges. Should you already be in receipt of your airline tickets please return these to us with your cancellation request. Since we incur costs in cancelling your arrangements, you will have to pay the cancellation charges as follows:

• Period before departure in which you notify us
• Cancellation Charge
• 57 days or more
• Loss of deposit
• 56 - 29 days
• 50% of total holiday cost
• 28 - 15 days
• 65% of total holiday cost
• 14 - 4 days
• 80% of total holiday cost
• Less than 4 days
• 100% of total holiday cost

Please note that insurance premiums and amendments charges are not refundable in any circumstances.

Certain travel arrangements cannot be changed or cancelled after they have been confirmed without incurring a 100% cancellation charge. If this is the case, we will tell you before you cancel.

We strongly recommend that you take out full insurance which will, in most cases, include cover against loss of deposit or cancellation fees.

We will deduct the cancellation charge(s) from any monies you have already paid to us.

Note: If, some, but not all-party members, cancel the holiday or part of it, additional charges may be payable by the remaining members.

Cancellation by You due to Unavoidable & Extraordinary Circumstances: You have the right to cancel your confirmed Package before departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event of "unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances" occurring at your holiday destination or its immediate vicinity and significantly affecting the performance of the holiday or significantly affecting the transport arrangements to the destination. In these circumstances, we shall provide you with a full refund of the monies you have paid but we will not be liable to pay you any additional compensation. Please note that your right to cancel in these circumstances will only apply where the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office advises against travel to your destination or its immediate vicinity. For the purposes of this clause, “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” means warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination.

CHANGES & CANCELLATION BY US

As we can plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance we may occasionally have to make changes or cancel your booking and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Changes: If we make an insignificant change to your holiday, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure but we will have no liability to you. Examples of insignificant changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard, changes of carriers. Please note that carriers such as airlines used in the brochure may be subject to change.

Occasionally we may have to make a significant change to your confirmed arrangements. Examples of "significant changes" include the following, when made before departure:

• A change of accommodation area for the whole or a significant part of your time away.
• A change of accommodation to that of a lower standard or classification for the whole or a significant part of your time away.
• A change of outward departure time or overall length of your arrangements by more than 12 hours.
• A change of UK departure airport except between:
  • The London airports: Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Stansted, London City and Southend
  • The South Coast airports: Southampton, Bournemouth and Exeter
  • The South Western airports: Cardiff and Bristol
  • The Midlands airports: Birmingham, East Midlands and Doncaster Sheffield
  • The Northern airports: Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds Bradford
  • The North Eastern airports: Newcastle and Teesside
  • The Scottish airports: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Prestwick and Aberdeen
• A significant change to your itinerary, missing out one or more destination entirely. Cancellation: We will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 60 days before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. We may cancel your holiday before this date if, e.g., the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached.

If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of:

1. (for significant changes) accepting the changed arrangements; or
2. having a refund of all monies paid; or
3. accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of a comparable or higher standard from us, if available (at no extra cost); or
4. if available, accepting an offer of alternative arrangements of a lower standard, with a refund of the price difference between the original arrangements and the alternative arrangements.

You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our offer. If we do not hear from you within 7 days, we will contact you again to request notification of your choice. If you fail to respond again, we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking arrangements.
