AIR TRAVEL, SCHEDULE RECONFIRMATION, CHECK-IN
Your airline ticket is a contract between you and the air carrier, even if you purchase through Group Travel
Society. If you purchase air travel through Group Travel Society, you acknowledge and agree that Group
Travel Society does not have the right to control the operations of independent airlines, and agree that
Group Travel Society is not liable for any personal injury, property damage related to your purchase

caused by any act, error or omission of the airline, including their failure to deliver services, partial or
inadequate delivery of services, airline policies including refund or rebooking policies, fees for checked or
carry-on luggage, fuel increases, bankruptcy or cessation of operations. Group Travel Society shall not
assume any responsibility for any air schedule changes. In rare instances, upon departure from a country,
certain departure taxes must be paid in cash only, and may vary in price. Failure to use a reservation may
result in automatic cancellation of all continuing and return flights, as well as forfeiture of airfares. Airline e-
tickets expire a year from issue date unless carrier fare rules in passenger’s itinerary fare provide otherwise.
