CHANGES AFTER DEPARTURE - No refunds will be granted on unused services once travel has commenced. Pleasant Holidays will assess a $100 per person fee for changes made after commencement of travel. Changes in return transportation to the extent permitted by carrier(s)' tariffs may be made only through Pleasant Holidays representatives. Changes in travel arrangements that result in additional monies owed due to price differences, fuel surcharges, ticket re-issuance fees, etc. are due and payable directly to Pleasant Holidays' representatives at time of change.
RATES - All rates are quoted in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise noted. Rates are subject to change at any time, without notice. Pleasant Holidays reserves the right to make adjustments if a particular rate was incorrectly stated. Rates are subject to increase prior to receipt of full payment, and Pleasant Holidays can guarantee rates only for reservations paid in full (except as otherwise provided below); it is therefore recommended that full payment be made at time of booking. Rates are not subject to increase after full payment, except as a result of increases in government-imposed taxes or fees (applicable to all reservations) or supplier-imposed fees (applicable only to reservations that do not include an air component). Rates include service fees and charges for planning, managing and administering the sale of vacation packages, cruises, hotels and other travel products.
RATES DO NOT INCLUDE - Airline seat assignment/seat selection fees, baggage fees or other ancillary fees, travel protection plan coverage unless purchased at time of booking, passport and visa fees, some departure taxes, gratuities, meals, beverages, resort fees, hotel energy surcharges, parking and valet fees, insurance, telephone calls, additional bedding charges, third of fourth adult in room charges, laundry service, foreign currency exchange fees, minibar charges, room service and movie rental fees, airport or cruise port transfers, COVID-19 tests or similar required by states or international countries and other miscellaneous charges of a personal nature are not included except where specifically noted. Pleasant Holidays retains service fees as additional compensation in handling and serving travel reservations.
AIR TRANSPORTATION - Pleasant Holidays has no control over and assumes no liability for airline strikes, schedule changes, flight delays, flight cancellations or other airline initiated changes. In the event of such an occurrence, the airline is responsible and will determine what action will be taken.
AIRLINE CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT AND OTHER IMPORTANT NOTICES
ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS ON LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
PASSENGERS EMBARKING UPON A JOURNEY INVOLVING AN ULTIMATE DESTINATION OR A STOP IN A COUNTRY OTHER THAN THE COUNTRY OF DEPARTURE ARE ADVISED THAT THE PROVISIONS OF AN INTERNATIONAL TREATY (THE WARSAW CONVENTION, THE 1999 MONTREAL CONVENTION, OR OTHER TREATY), AS WELL AS A CARRIER'S OWN CONTRACT OF CARRIAGE OR TARIFF PROVISIONS, MAY BE APPLICABLE TO THEIR ENTIRE JOURNEY, INCLUDING ANY PORTION ENTIRELY WITHIN THE COUNTRIES OF DEPARTURE AND DESTINATION. THE APPLICABLE TREATY GOVERNS AND MAY LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF CARRIERS TO PASSENGERS FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY, DESTRUCTION OR LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, BAGGAGE, AND FOR DELAY OF PASSENGERS AND BAGGAGE.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTION CAN USUALLY BE OBTAINED BY PURCHASING INSURANCE FROM A PRIVATE COMPANY. SUCH INSURANCE IS NOT AFFECTED BY ANY LIMITATION OF THE CARRIER'S LIABILITY UNDER AN INTERNATIONAL TREATY. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONSULT YOUR AIRLINE OR INSURANCE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE.
NOTICE of Liability Limitations
The Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention system may be applicable to your journey and these Conventions govern and may limit the liability of air carriers for death or bodily injury, for loss of or damage to baggage, and for delay.
Where the Montreal Convention applies, the limits of liability are as follows:
  1. There are no financial limits in respect of death or bodily injury.
  2. In respect of destruction, loss of, or damage or delay to baggage, 1,288 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 1,594; US $1,780) per passenger in most cases.
  3. For damage occasioned by delay to your journey, 5,346 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 6,600; US $7,390) per passenger in most cases.
EC Regulation No. 889/2002 requires European Community carriers to apply the provisions of the Montreal Convention limits to all carriage by them of passengers and their baggage by air. Many non-European Community carriers have elected to do so in respect of the carriage of passengers and their baggage.
Where the Warsaw Convention system applies, the following limits of liability may apply:
  1. 16,600 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 21,000; US $22,500) in respect of death or bodily injury if the Hague Protocol to the Convention applies, or 8,300 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 10,500; US $11,200) if only the Warsaw Convention applies. Many carriers have voluntarily waived these limits in their entirety, and US regulations require that, for journeys to, from or with an agreed stopping place in the US, the limit may not be less than US $75,000.
  2. 17 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 21; US $23) per kg for loss of or damage or delay to checked baggage, and 332 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 420; US $450) for unchecked baggage.
  3. The carrier may also be liable for damage occasioned by delay.
Further information may be obtained from the carrier as to the limits applicable to your journey. If your journey involves carriage by different carriers, you should contact each carrier for information on the applicable limits of liability.
Regardless of which Convention applies to your journey, you may benefit from a higher limit of liability for loss of, damage or delay to baggage by making at check-in a special declaration of the value of your baggage and paying any supplementary fee that may apply. Alternatively, if the value of your baggage exceeds the applicable limit of liability, you should fully insure it before you travel.
Time limit for action: Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived. Baggage claims: Written notice to the carrier must be made within 7 days of the receipt of checked baggage in the case of damage, and, in the case of delay, within 21 days from the date on which it was placed at the disposal of the passenger.
Notice of Contract Terms Incorporated by Reference

    8. Rights of the carrier to refuse carriage to passengers who fail to comply with applicable laws or who fail to present all necessary travel documents.
  5. You can obtain additional information on items (a) through (h) above at any U.S. location where the transporting air carrier's tickets are sold.

Information on ordering the full text of each carrier's terms is available at any U.S. location where the air carrier's tickets are sold.
  7. If a carrier sells air transportation services or checks baggage specifying carriage on another carrier, it does so only as agent for the other carrier.
CARRIERS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE CARRIAGE TO ANY PERSON WHO HAS ACQUIRED A TICKET IN VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW OR THE CARRIER'S TARIFFS, RULES OR REGULATIONS.
YOU CANNOT TRAVEL IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL REQUIRED TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, SUCH AS PASSPORT AND VISA. PASSENGER SHALL ARRIVE AT AIRPORT BY TIME EARLY ENOUGH TO COMPLETE DEPARTURE PROCEDURES.
GOVERNMENTS MAY REQUIRE YOUR CARRIER TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON OR PERMIT ACCESS TO PASSENGER DATA, INCLUDING INFORMATION WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO COLLECT FROM YOU DURING THE RESERVATIONS PROCESS.
U.S. NOTICE—OVERBOOKING OF FLIGHTS - Airline flights may be overbooked, and there is a slight chance that a seat will not be available on a flight for which a person has a confirmed reservation. If the flight is overbooked, no one will be denied a seat until airline personnel first ask for volunteers willing to give up their reservation in exchange for a payment of the airline's choosing. If there are not enough volunteers the airline will deny boarding to other persons in accordance with its particular boarding priority. With few exceptions persons denied boarding involuntarily are entitled to compensation. The complete rules for the payment of compensation and each airline's boarding priorities are available at all airport ticket counters and boarding locations. Some airlines do not apply these consumer protections to travel from some foreign countries although other consumer protections may be available. Check with the airline or your travel agent.
EUROPEAN NOTICE—DENIED BOARDING/CANCELLATIONS - For all flights departing from the European Union and all flights to the European Union if on an European operating carrier, if you are denied boarding or you flight is cancelled or delayed for at least two hours, ask at the check-in counter or boarding gate for the text stating your rights, pa3rticularly with regard to compensation and assistance. For further information on your air passenger rights for these flights, see https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/passenger-rights/air/index_en.htm.
BAGGAGE: Excess valuation may be declared on certain types of articles. Carriers may apply special rules for fragile, valuable, or perishable articles. Check with your carrier. Checked Baggage: Carriers may permit a free checked baggage allowance, which is set by the carrier and may differ by class, and/or route. Carriers may apply extra charges for checked baggage in excess of their permitted allowance. Check with your carrier. Cabin (Unchecked) Baggage: Carriers may permit a free cabin baggage allowance, which is set by the carrier and may differ by class, route, and/or aircraft type. It is recommended that cabin baggage be kept to a minimum. Check with your carrier. If more than one carrier is providing the transportation for your journey, each carrier may apply different rules on baggage (both checked and cabin). SPECIAL BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS FOR U.S. TRAVEL: For domestic travel wholly between U.S. points, federal rules require any limit on a carrier's baggage liability to be at least US $3,500 per passenger, or the amount currently mandated by 14 CFR § 254.5.
CHECK-IN TIMES: The time shown on the itinerary/receipt is the departure time of the aircraft. Flight departure time is not the same as the time you must check-in or the time you must be available for boarding. Your carrier may refuse you carriage if you are late. Check-in times, as advised by your carrier, are the latest times at which passengers can be accepted for travel; boarding times, as advised by your carrier, are the latest times at which passengers must present themselves for boarding. Flight cannot be held for late-arriving passengers, and Pleasant Holidays accepts no responsibility in such cases.
DANGEROUS GOODS: U.S. Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on your person. A violation can result in five years' imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C. 5124). Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives and radioactive materials. Examples: Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals.

These deposits are made direct to the hotel at check-in and are unrelated to the amount paid to Pleasant Holidays.

Consumer Protection Deposit Plan Disclosure - California law requires certain sellers of travel to either (i) have a trust account or bond or (ii) be a participant in an approved Consumer Protection Deposit Plan. Pleasant Holidays is a participant in the United States Tour Operators Association's ("USTOA") Consumer Protection Deposit Plan (the "Plan"). You may make a claim with the Plan if you are owed a refund. The Plan covers losses for transportation or travel services that were not delivered or not refunded when required. A claim can be made when a tour operator declares bankruptcy, becomes insolvent or ceases business, or 120 days following the failure of a tour operator to refund a payment or deposit after a cancellation or material failure to complete performance of a tour(s) or vacation package(s). The Plan covers tours or vacation packages purchased up to seven (7) days following official notification to the USTOA of an Active Member's bankruptcy, insolvency or cessation of business. Claims must be filed no later than ninety (90) days after the bankruptcy, insolvency, cessation of business or failure to refund on account of cancellation or non-performance, as the case may be. USTOA's total liability for all possible consumer claims is limited to $1,000,000. The maximum amount of any claim the customer can make against the Plan is the total amount paid on behalf of the customer to the seller of travel.

The maximum amount that may be paid by the TCRF to any one customer is the total amount paid on behalf of the customer to the seller of travel, not to exceed $15,000. A claim must be submitted to the TCRF within 12 months after the scheduled completion date of the travel. A claim must include sufficient documentation to prove the claim and a $35 processing fee. Claimants must agree to waive their right to other civil remedies against a registered participating seller of travel for matters arising out of a sale for which they file a TCRF claim.
