For example, hotels and rental car companies may require no payment at the time of booking and may, instead, request payment at check-in or upon arrival at the rental car office. Other suppliers, such as hotels and airlines may request that you pre-pay for the service at the time of booking. Other suppliers require a deposit at the time of booking with a remaining balance due at a later time.
If your booking is not confirmed, we will promptly notify you and will refund you for the amount paid for your booking. The amount refunded to you will be refunded to the credit or debit card used by you when making your booking.

These third party websites are wholly independent from WayToFly.com. Way To Fly. does not control these third party websites and is not responsible for their content or their policies and terms and conditions.

Tickets are nontransferable. Please read important information regarding airline cancellation and refund policies shown at the time of ticketing or on your e-ticket.
Your cancellation, refund and change requests for hotel accommodation, car rental, ground transportation, tours and travel insurance, if allowed, will also be processed subject to a 25 percent cancellation/change fee. Our ability to issue refunds depends upon a travel provider’s ability or willingness to issue refunds. We assume no responsibility for the financial condition of the travel provider or its filing of a bankruptcy petition.
You consent to the use of frequent flyer program from Way to Fly’s frequent flyer accounts to be used for ticketing of your air travel. Any tickets secured through the frequent flyer program are non-refundable, non-transferrable and non-cancellable
5. Force Majeure
“Force Majeure” means, in relation to Way To Fly, any circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Way To Fly, (including, but without limitation, acts of God, explosion, flood, tempest, forceful wind, fire or accident, war or threat of war declared or undeclared, acts of terrorism, sabotage, insurrection, riots, strikes, civil disturbance, requisition, sickness, viruses, pandemics, quarantine, government intervention, weather conditions, defects in machinery and vehicles, delay, wildlife, or other untoward occurrences).Way To Fly shall not be deemed to be in breach of these Terms and Conditions or otherwise be liable to you, by reason of delay in performance, or by non-performance, of any of its obligations hereunder to the extent that any such delay or non-performance is due to any Force Majeure.
If Way To Fly, and/or any of its travel suppliers, are affected by Force Majeure, they shall be entitled to, and may in their sole and absolute discretion, vary or cancel any itinerary or arrangement in relation to your trip. Payment of any refund by Way To Fly to you as a result of the non-performance of any obligations hereunder shall remain in its sole and absolute discretion, although Way To Fly shall use its reasonable efforts to reimburse you where possible. However, Way To Fly shall be entitled to deduct from any refund recoverable the reasonable actual and potential costs to Way To Fly of the Force Majeure and applicable cancellation fees.
Regarding civil unrest, once Way To Fly has investigated the prevailing situation, as it deems fit, it shall remain in Way To Fly’s sole and absolute discretion whether to proceed with your trip. You may in such circumstances cancel the trip subject to Way To Fly’s and each supplier’s terms and conditions.
6. Passport, Visa and Immigration Requirements and Health Formalities
It is your responsibility to check and fulfill the passport, visa, health and immigration requirements applicable to your itinerary. We can only provide general information about this. You must check requirements for your own specific circumstances with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates and your own doctor as applicable. Requirements do change, and you must check the up to date position in good time before departure.
Each foreign country holds different views of past criminal offenses, whether within or outside of their boundaries. If you have a current or past offense, and you are unsure how the country you are traveling to (or through) views that offense, please contact that country directly for entry and exit requirements. (See: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages.html ) Way To Fly neither controls nor warrants the issuance of visas related to applicable travel. It is Customer’s responsibility to verify that all the visas required for your trip have been obtained, that the visas for each country are valid for the entry and exit dates of your visit, that your personal details are accurately reflected and that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond the completion date of your trip. Please note that even when a visa is issued, a traveler may be denied entry since each country’s local immigration officials make the final entry decision. Several factors including past criminal record may contribute to the decision of the local immigration official(s). Should a visa not be issued, Way To Fly is not responsible for lost payments made toward the contemplated trip. If you call into our call center, our representatives do not make this inquiry because we feel it is an invasion of privacy. For example, if traveling to or through Canada, Americans with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or possession of marijuana record should always check whether current rules exclude admission, and potential waivers. (See: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/inadmissibility/overcome-criminal-convictions.html )
For medical information about your destination, we recommend contacting the Centers for Disease Control at (877) FYI-TRIP or go to http://www.cdc.gov/travel. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel or incur any other loss because you have not complied with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities. You agree to reimburse us in relation to any fines or other losses which we incur as a result of your failure to comply with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities.

If you have any questions or concerns about these Terms or if you need further assistance with respect to access to or use of the Site or the services offered by Way To Fly, you may contact our Customer Service department by email at info@WayToFly.com.
9. Insurance
In case the purchase of the air ticket(s) by you is refused or denied for any reason, and in case you have already purchased an insurance policy prior to such refusal or denial, any amount paid by you for purchasing such policy or any amount to be recovered by you on such policy will not be refunded or paid to you by Way To Fly.
10. Credit Card Chargebacks
You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Way To Fly against airline debit memos for credit card chargebacks arising out of: (a) your complaints regarding an airline service or (b) unauthorized charges by members of your family or former employees of your company. Before initiating a chargeback related to any supplier, you agree to first attempt to resolve directly any disputed transaction fees with us.
11. Special Requests
Any special requests must be advised to us at the time of booking. You should then confirm your requests in writing. While every effort will be made by us to try and arrange your reasonable special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically confirmed. We do not accept bookings that are conditional upon any special request being met.
12. Disabilities and Medical Problems
The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) is only applicable within the United States, and facilities for disabled individuals are limited outside its borders. A qualified and physically able companion must accompany travelers with disability who need assistance. Motorized scooters may be unsuitable for many trips. Transportation services, including many tour motor coaches, may not be equipped with wheelchair ramps. Hotels may also have some non-accessible rooms for travelers who do not require such accommodations. We do not, however, guarantee that all hotel facilities are accessible for travelers with disabilities.
We will take reasonable measures to cater for any special requirements a disabled traveler may have. If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your trip, please provide us with full details before we confirm your booking so that we can try to advise you as to the suitability of your chosen arrangements. We may require you to produce a doctor’s certificate certifying that you are fit to participate in the trip. If we are unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm your booking or if you did not give us full details at the time of booking, we may cancel it and impose applicable cancellation charges when we become aware of these details.
13. Complaints
We make every effort to ensure that your arrangements run smoothly, but if you do have a problem during your trip, please inform the relevant supplier immediately, who will endeavor to solve the problem. If your complaint is not resolved locally, please contact us on (866) 732 - 9655. If the problem cannot be resolved and you wish to complain further, you must send formal written notice of your complaint to us at Way To Fly, LLC, 8 Geranium Lane , San Carlos California 94070 or by e-mail to info@waytofly.com within 28 days of the end of your trip, giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point. This will assist us to quickly identify your concerns and speed up our response to you. Failure to follow the procedure set out in this clause may affect ours and the applicable supplier’s ability to investigate your complaint.

The conditions herein and the conditions as mentioned in the online reservation section apply to all bookings.

Your use of the Site is subject to our Privacy Policy. You agree that you have read our Privacy Policy, and it is reasonable and acceptable to you. Your acceptance of these Terms is also your consent to the information practices in our Privacy Policy.
27. Reservations, Bookings, and Purchases
You agree to abide by the terms and conditions of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal. A supplier that is an air carrier is required to make available to the public the terms of its contract of carriage. Frequent flyer points and award mileage for flights flown may vary from ticket to ticket and in some cases no points or miles are earned.
The circumvention of an air carrier's rules, including practices such as back-to-back ticketing (purchasing two or more tickets with overlapping travel dates in order to circumvent minimum stay requirements) and hidden-city ticketing (purchasing tickets including segments which the purchaser does not intend to use in order to circumvent an air carrier's pricing structure), is prohibited by many air carriers. The use of prohibited ticketing practices may result in the air carrier taking actions including the cancellation of the ticket, denied boarding, revocation of frequent flier miles and other benefits, additional charges to the purchaser's credit card, additional charges collected at the airport, or future invoicing.
You are responsible for ensuring that your purchases abide by the terms and conditions of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including terms and conditions of purchase set forth in an air carrier's fare rules or contract of carriage. Neither Way To Fly nor the FAA, nor any provider of air traffic data makes any promises or guarantees as to the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of any delay or other air traffic management information on this site, and Way To Fly and the FAA expressly disclaims liability for any errors and omissions. Reservations are subject to space availability in the appropriate class, at the time of booking.
28. Air Check-Ins, Delays, Missed Flights, Identity of the Carriers and Denial of Boarding
Due to enhanced security, it is strongly recommended that you check in a minimum of 2 hours prior to scheduled departure for domestic flights and 3 hours prior to scheduled departure time for international flights. Reconfirm flight times at least 24 hours prior to scheduled departure time for domestic flights, and 72 hours prior for international flights. Failure to use a reservation may result in automatic cancelation of all continuing and return flights, as well as forfeiture of airfares. If you or any member of your party miss your flight or other transport arrangement, it is canceled, or you are subject to a delay of over 3 hours for any reason, please contact us and the airline or other transport supplier concerned immediately.
Under European Union (EU) law, for flights by EU airlines, or for flights by other airlines departing from a point in the EU, you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from the airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicized at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. Reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your trip price from us. A delay or cancellation to your flight does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in conjunction with your flight.
The carrier(s), flight timings and types of aircraft shown in this brochure or on our website and detailed on your confirmation invoice are for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation. If the name of the carrier(s) do not appear on your confirmation invoice or if a carrier is replaced, we will inform you of the identity of the actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of it. The latest flight timings will be shown on your tickets which will be sent to you approximately two weeks before departure. You should check your tickets very carefully immediately on receipt to ensure you have the correct flight times. If flight times change after tickets have been sent, we will contact you as soon as we can to let you know.
WAY TO FLY DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU ARE DENIED BOARDING ON AN AIRCRAFT OR ENTRY INTO A SECURE SECTION OF AN AIRPORT DUE TO THE FAILURE ON YOUR PART TO CARRY OR OBTAIN THE CORRECT DOCUMENTATION OR IDENTIFICATION OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON. IF YOUR FAILURE TO DO SO RESULTS IN FINES, SURCHARGES, CLAIMS, FINANCIAL DEMANDS OR OTHER FINANCIAL PENALTIES BEING IMPOSED ON WAY TO FLY, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INDEMNIFYING AND REIMBURSING US ACCORDINGLY, WITH CHARGES AUTOMATICALLY BEING MADE TO YOUR CREDIT CARD ON FILE.
29. Frequent Flyer Miles
Flights taken by you are eligible for loyalty points or miles (hereinafter referred to as “Frequent-Flyer Miles”) within any loyalty program that may be offered by the Supplier of a specific flight. The number of Frequent-Flyer Miles awarded will be dependent on the ticket that is issued to you for the flight and the rules, regulations, and policies of the travel provider’s loyalty program. Way To Fly has no control over the availability or the awarding of Frequent-Flyer Miles and makes no guarantees as to whether you qualify or will be able to apply for Frequent-Flyer Miles at all or the number that you will receive on any given flight. Additionally, although Way To Fly collects, stores and transmits the membership details related to a loyalty program to the Supplier, there is no guarantee that Frequent-Flyer Miles will be awarded. It is solely your responsibility to ensure that all membership details related to a loyalty program are correctly provided to Way To Fly. You are also solely responsible for ensuring that any loyalty programs associated with a given itinerary may allows you to obtain Frequent-Flyer Miles on that Itinerary, as Way To Fly provides no guidance on which loyalty programs are valid or usable with an Itinerary. Way To Fly does not cater to your airline preference based on his or her desire to earn Frequent-Flyer Miles with a certain carrier. Any disputes or issues pertaining to Frequent-Flyer Miles should be handled between you and travel provider directly, with no assistance provided by Way To Fly. Way To Fly assumes no responsibility if the Traveler's Frequent-Flyer Miles program membership is suspended or terminated the Supplier.
30. TSA Secure Flight
Please be advised that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires airline passengers to carry a government issued ID in order to board a flight. The name, date of birth and gender that appears on the ID must exactly match the same such data that is listed on your airline ticket and in your booking records. Failure to strictly comply with these requirements may result in denied boarding or an undue delay at an airport security checkpoint which could cause you to miss your flight.
31. REAL ID
Please be advised that beginning October 1, 2020 a state-issued ID or license may only be used to pass through airport security checkpoints and to subsequently board a flight within the United States if it is REAL ID compliant. State issued temporary driver's licenses, hunting, firearms or weapons permits are not acceptable forms of identification. Please contact your state department of motor vehicles if you are unsure whether your ID complies with the REAL ID Act.
32. Children
TSA does not require children under 18 to provide identification when traveling with a companion within the United States. However, airline policies regarding ID requirements for minors may differ from TSA rules. Please contact the airline(s) shown on your itinerary to inquire about any airline-specific ID requirements for travelers under 18.
33. Hotel Check-In Terms
Upon check-in, the holder of the reservation must provide a valid identification and cash deposit, credit or debit card, as determined by the hotel at the hotel’s sole discretion, in his or her name (the amount of available credit required will vary by hotel). Depending on the hotel’s policy, debit cards may not be accepted for this purpose. Such deposit is unrelated to any payment received by Way To Fly.
Hotel accommodation for more than two adults is not guaranteed, as certain hotels do not allow additional guests. If the hotel at which you made a reservation does allow additional guests, there may be added charges. Such added charges vary and will be payable directly to the hotel, not Way To Fly.
In the event you are delayed on your date of check-in or find that you cannot check-in to your hotel on the date you requested, contact the hotel directly to advise it of your travel changes. Depending on the applicable hotel’s terms and conditions, if you do not check-in to your hotel on the day of your reservation and also do not alert the hotel, the hotel may cancel the remaining portion of your reservation and may not provide you with a refund.
34. Hotel Reservation Changes and Cancellations
There are various cancellation policies among hotels. Some reservations are non-cancellable and cannot be altered. Other reservations require a penalty payment for cancellation. Of course, some reservations are fully refundable upon cancellation. You should check your hotel’s cancellation policy before you book. If changes to your pre-paid reservation are allowed by the hotel, such changes or cancellation may only be permitted with a booking of a new reservation with that hotel. You acknowledge that in no event will Way To Fly be required to refund any amounts.
You should check room and rate details in advance of making any reservation, as sometimes lower rates are available at a hotel but such rates can carry special conditions and restrictions (as an example: in respect of cancellation and refund for such reservation).
35. Rental Car Service Restrictions
Vehicle rentals available through the Website are subject to the applicable car rental company’s standard rental contract. When you pick up your vehicle, you will be required to complete such contract. If you would like to review the terms of such agreement, please contact the applicable Travel Service Provider directly. Way To Fly is not a party to such agreement.
For a reservation made for a retail price disclosed rental car, please be advised that Way To Fly is not the merchant of record and does not charge your credit card. Rather your credit card will be used to guarantee the reservation and you will be provided with information regarding the estimated amount due to the rental car company upon pick-up of the vehicle. The actual price owed to the rental car company may vary depending on special requests you make and additional items you may choose to purchase at the time of pick-up. The rental car company may also charge different pricing if you deviate from the schedule you reserve (for example: if you pick up or drop off the car late). Upon pick-up of the rental car, the driver will be required to present a valid driver's license and a valid credit card in the driver’s name. Specific cars, makes and models are not guaranteed and listed car makes and models are for example only. As a result, your reservation requests are not guaranteed by us or the rental car company. Please note Way To Fly is not the vendor collecting and remitting taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. Way To Fly’s rental car suppliers, as vendors, bill all applicable taxes to Way To Fly and the Way To Fly pays over such amounts directly to the vendors. Way To Fly is not a co-vendor associated with the vendor through whom we book or reserve travel arrangements and itineraries for customers. The reality of taxation, the appropriate tax rate and the type of applicable taxes vary significantly by location.

40. Baggage Liability
For flights within the U.S., federal rules require any limit on an airline's baggage liability to be at least $3,500 per passenger. For international travel (including domestic portions of international journeys) different liability limitations apply to the loss, delay, or damage to baggage. If the Montreal Convention applies, the limit is 1,228 Special Drawing Rights (approximately $1780) per passenger unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. If the Warsaw Convention applies, the limit is approximately $9.07 per pound ($20.00 per kilogram) for checked baggage and $400 per passenger for unchecked baggage unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. Excess valuation may not be declared on certain types of valuable articles. Airlines assume no liability for fragile or perishable articles. Further information may be obtained from the airline.
41. 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 compensation 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, including failure to comply with the carrier's check-in deadline (which are available upon request from the air carrier), 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 your airline or with us at info@waytofly.com.

44. 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 treaties known as the Montreal Convention and the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to their entire journey including the portion entirely within the countries of departure and destination. The Conventions govern and in most cases limits the liability of carriers to passengers for death or personal injury. 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 the Montreal Convention or Warsaw Convention. For further information please consult your airline, attorney or insurance company representative. We do not answer questions about travel insurance coverage.

Examples: Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals.
