Passengers should assume that all bookings made are sold on a totally non-refundable basis, unless otherwise advised by us. All cancellations by a client must be in writing. If a client cancels a booking the deposit will be retained by us as fee to cover expenses, but clients are liable for all expenses, and liabilities, incurred by us if these exceed the deposit.

Return tickets are only valid for dates specified on the tickets, unless a change is made by the company, or at the passengers request, and make an additional charge at our discretion.
