Booking terms and conditions

Last updated: November 2020

We are My Travel Store, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 0000 and registered address at  (“we”, “us” and “our”). References to “you” and “your” in these Booking T&Cs means all persons named on your booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date). These booking terms and conditions (the “T&Cs”) describe the terms on which we will arrange the travel services you booked on our website, including your flight, accommodation, transfer, excursion, ticket or other travel requirements (the “Services”). References to “Supplier” means the third-party supplier of the Services and references to “agent” means disclosed agent, undisclosed agent or independent intermediary as applicable.

When booking through us, you are either booking (i) a “single-Service” (where you book a single individual Service e.g. accommodation only or flight only) or (ii) a “Package Holiday”, which is either a ‘single package’ (where the cost of your flight and hotel are displayed as a single price), or a ‘multi-contract package’ (that includes a flight and the cost of each Service booked is displayed) within the meaning of the term ‘package’ in the Package Travel and Linked Services Regulations 2018 (“PTRs”). The PTR’s require us, as the package organiser, to assist you in certain situations. Our responsibilities are set out in these T&Cs. A Package is a combination of at least two different types of the following Services for the same trip where your contract is with each Supplier of the individual Services: (a) transport (e.g. a flight, coach or train but not transfers from an airport); (b) accommodation (e.g. a hotel, villa or apartment); (c) car rental; or (d) an essential tourist Service. Tourist Services are services which are not intrinsically part of the carriage of passengers, accommodation or the rental of motor vehicles or certain motorcycles, e.g. admission to concerts, sport events, excursions or event parks, guided tours, ski passes and rental of sports equipment such as skiing equipment, or spa treatments. An “essential tourist Service” is a tourist Service that is a significant part of your holiday because of its value (at least 25% of the total) or because it is an essential part of your trip. If you add an essential tourist Service to any of the other Services mentioned in (a) – (c) after the first Service has started, then this will not be part of a Package Holiday, e.g. if you book a tourist Service after your arrival at your hotel.

You will benefit from all EU rights applying to packages under the PTRs. We are responsible for the proper performance of the Package Holiday. Additionally, as required by law, we have protection in place to refund your payments and, where transport is included in the Package Holiday, to ensure your repatriation if we become insolvent. More information on key rights under the PTRs is available here.

Single Services are not afforded the benefit of the PTRs.

Part A

This section applies to both single Service and Package Holidays save for exclusions to single Services as set out in Part B of these T&C’s.

1. YOUR CONTRACT

  1. We are the package organiser in respect of your booking. Our responsibilities are set out in these T&Cs. When making your booking we will act as your disclosed agent to arrange for you to enter into a contract with the applicable Supplier of the Services, and to agree payment terms between you and the Supplier, as specified on your Booking Confirmation (defined in section 2.1). Your booking through us is subject to these T&Cs and the specific terms and conditions of the relevant Supplier you have chosen to contract with. The applicable Supplier terms and conditions for the Services are set out here. You must read the Supplier terms and conditions applicable to the Services you wish to book and accept them in full prior to making your booking. The Supplier terms and conditions may limit or exclude their liability to you.
  2. By making a booking with us, you agree and confirm that:

1. all passenger details on the booking are full and accurate (as stated in the relevant passport);

2. all passengers in your party are UK or Irish residents;

3. you have read all the terms and conditions set out on this website and agree (on behalf of yourself and all other persons named on the booking) to be bound by them and any applicable booking conditions of the Supplier;

4. you have read our privacy policy and consent to our use of personal data in accordance with our privacy policy;

5. you are authorised on behalf of all persons named on the booking to disclose their personal details to us, including where applicable, special categories of data (such as information on health conditions or disabilities and dietary requirements);

6. the person making the booking is at least 18 years old, and where placing an order for Services with age restrictions, you declare that you and members of your party are of the appropriate age of purchase for those Services, including any specific requirements that your Supplier may have, e.g. in the USA, you usually need to be at least 21 years old to check in at a hotel; and

7. you accept financial responsibility for payment of the booking on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking.

  1. BOOKING

1. Your booking is confirmed and a contract between you and us, and a contract between you and the Supplier will only exist when we (or the Supplier) provide you with a booking reference number (“Booking Confirmation”). Please check your Booking Confirmation carefully and report any incorrect or incomplete information to us immediately so that we can try to assist you.

2. Group bookings (a booking of more than 9 people) are not allowed. If you make multiple bookings for the same trip (for example one booking of six people and another booking of four people), it will be considered a group booking and may be cancelled by the Supplier.

3. Unless you have reserved a transfer separately, no flight or accommodation booking includes a transfer. Please ensure that the accommodation you have selected is accessible from the airport you have chosen to fly to.

4. If you advise us of any special requests these are not guaranteed.

5. If you are a United States citizen, tourist travel to Cuba remains prohibited. To travel to Cuba, you must obtain a licence from the US Department of Treasury or your travel must fall into one of the 12 categories of authorised travel.
