Sunwing Group Terms - Amendment

Group Prices
Rates are contracted at the best price available at the time of request, based on the approximate number of seats required for the entire group travelling together. Unless otherwise indicated, all prices are quoted in Canadian dollars (CAD), are per person and based on double occupancy. Rates include the applicable sales taxes, governmental and airport fees, local airport taxes at destination, tourist card fees and service fees. (Any local taxes not included will be noted on your confirmation) In some cases, lower prices may be advertised at a later date due to market conditions, including, but not limited to, sell offs or supplier promotions.

Price Adjustments
Included in the group booking is a price promise which will allow a one-time price adjustment outside 90 days prior to departure should the rate drop. Terms and Conditions apply. Lower advertised price must be with Sunwing Vacations and there must be enough inventory to re-book the entire group at this rate. Applies to same date, flight times and room description. Outside of these parameters, once deposit is applied to a group, we are unable to adjust pricing as this is considered a cancellation, and would be subject to the appropriate penalties. Price drops can only be requested from the group leader as they are responsible for making the decision on behalf of the entire group.

Payment of Services
Verbal or written authorization provided by the Customer for the use of a personal credit card number constitutes a confirmation of the reservation, acceptance of the present terms and conditions and authorization to pay the deposit and the purchase of Services, as the case may be. We reserve the right to cancel any reservation, in whole or in part, without prior notice and without recourse by the Customer if payment is not honoured or received by the balance date, unless prior arrangements have been made between Customer and Agent.  Late payments beyond balance date, if applicable, will be subject to a $50 per person late fee.

You are responsible for verifying that your names are correct on your documents and understand that any corrections needed within this time, or after ticket issuance may be subject to fees.

Insurance

Travel Insurance and COVID-19

Travel insurance for trip cancellation and interruption and emergency out-of-province medical insurance is highly recommended. Please note that standard travel insurance will not cover any claims caused by COVID-19 as it is a known event. There is additional insurance coverage available for purchase that will cover emergency medical expenses related to Covid 19 or cancellations for ANY reason with specific terms and conditions. As well, travel insurance does not cover cancellation claims where a future travel credit has been issued as this is not considered a financial loss.
