In general, we do not undertake possible extra costs and other consequences caused by any delays, last minute changes, cancellations made by flight companies themselves for various reasons; mostly due to unavoidable conditions such as bad weather conditions, natural disasters, serious accidents, technical problem and other operational deficiencies. We may also need to change the promised hotels for similar reasons beyond our control. These are very small possibilities but we would still like to warn our guests in advance, in order to avoid any disappointment in the future. In such cases we promise to offer our clients the best alternative with least cost.
