TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SALTY AIR SUNSETS TRAVEL, LLC Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions

Clients must read, understand, and agree to the following before any transactions or work occurs.

Passports, Visas, Immunization Requirements

The travelers are solely responsible for checking their passport expirations, verifying the entry requirements for their destination, and applying for any necessary visas. Valid passports are required for all international destinations.

Please note that many destinations require your passport to be valid 6 months after the date of your return.

It is each traveler’s responsibility to make certain that they have proper immunizations before travel – please see your health provider for advice. The CDC website has a list of required immunizations and/or other health notes for each country.

Each foreign country holds different views of past criminal offenses – if you have a current or past offense, please contact that country directly for entry and exit requirements. Travelers with DWI, OWI, DUI or similar records should check whether current rules exclude admission to foreign destinations. As an example, Canada often denies entry to travelers with a DUI (or similar) conviction. Travel agent feels it is an invasion of privacy for members of our staff to make such an inquiry and these requirements remain the traveler’s responsibility. For further information, please visit the U.S. State Department web site: travel.state.gov.

Traveling with Minors

The travelers are solely responsible for acquiring any and all documentation and consents to travel with minors.

Certain countries require departure taxes that require payment in cash. Travel agent does not recommend or encourage a layover of less than 1 hour for all domestic flights and not less than 3 hours for flights returning from international destinations.

*Recommended check in times are subject to change without notification. It is the traveler’s responsibility to remain abreast of changes in condition or airport rules that might require earlier arrival times.

It is the traveler’s responsibility to note the final payment dates and plan accordingly. The travel agent will require final payment 10-14 days prior to the vendor’s final payment date to account for any unforeseen situations that may prevent the travel advisor from obtaining authorization of the travelers’ credit card to place the final payment. Unless a payment schedule has been set up, the travel advisor will require authorization of every payment by the traveler. The travel agent will make every effort to contact the traveler with reminders; however, the travel agent is not responsible for missed payment dates when the traveler is unresponsive. *Suppliers may have deadlines of 5pm, 9pm, or midnight for their cutoff dates. It is the traveler’s responsibility to take this into account and not assume that their payment meets the deadline.
