For you to make a booking, we require your deposit and a completed booking form, as provided on our website. Our confirmation invoice will be sent to you by post or email. We may decline your booking for any reason, and we do not have to give you the reason. If that happens, we will return your money to you immediately and in any event within 14 days.
3. Your authority to book for others
If you make a booking on behalf of others as well as yourself, you guarantee that you have the authority of each of those other people to enter into the contract and that you and they have agreed to be jointly and severally liable to us. You now accept personal liability for the acceptance and compliance of each of those people, with these contract terms.
It is your responsibility to ensure that all of the details on your travel documents are correct and notify us of any discrepancy or misunderstanding immediately. We shall also look only to you for making payments as they become due, ensuring the accuracy of the personal details and other information supplied by other members of your party and for whatever liaison communication is necessary between you and each other party to keep them fully informed.
As lead member of your party, we will deal only with you in our correspondence.

accommodation and some meals (unless otherwise stated in the itinerary).

food and drink over and above what we include in the Holiday.
gratuities you choose to give, in addition to any we give on your behalf where we consider appropriate.
6. Holiday prices
When you make your booking, we shall ask you for a deposit of 20 % of the total cost. Deposits are non-refundable, except as mentioned below, but in some cases may be transferable to another One Sky Travel Holiday. The balance of the price must be paid at least sixteen weeks before your departure date. If the balance is not paid on time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements and retain your deposit.
Any booking made less than sixteen weeks prior to the departure date must be accompanied by full payment at the time of making the booking.
We shall not change the price of your booking once we have accepted your booking.
7. Special requests
Any special requests relating to your travel arrangements must be sent to us at the time of booking in writing. While we try to meet your reasonable requests, we do not guarantee that they will be fulfilled. If we are able to confirm a special request, we will do so by confirmation in writing to you at least 6 weeks before your departure date.
8. Minimum participants required for the Holiday.
As a minimum number of participants are required for the Holiday to go ahead, we have a right to cancel any Holiday for which there are insufficient reservations.
In the event of any such cancellation, all deposits or other payments made specifically to One Sky Travel will be refunded in full.
We reserve the right to cancel any Holiday, for which there are not enough bookings, not less than thirteen weeks prior to the departure date. In the event of our cancellation, your deposit (and any other payment you may have made to us) will be refunded in full, or, if you prefer, transferred to an alternative One Sky Travel Holiday.
You agree that all these provisions are reasonable.
9. Changing your booking
We will always do our best to help you with any change to your booking. However, we give no guarantee that we shall succeed. If you require any change, you must tell us by email or in writing. A change will be subject to an administration charge of £ 50 plus any costs we incur in making the change for you. Please note that costs are likely to be higher, the closer you are to the departure date. Most travel arrangements cannot be changed once a reservation has been made.
10. Transferring your booking
If you would like to transfer your booking from one person to another, the following terms apply:
The transferee must satisfy any special conditions or qualifications applicable to the Holiday.
You must inform us about your intention to transfer your booking to the transferee at least fourteen days before the departure date in writing or through email.
You and the transferee will accept that you and she or he will be jointly and severally liable for full payment of any outstanding sums due in respect of the booking as well as fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer. A letter must be signed by both parties in this event.
Our administration charge for a transfer is £50.
Please note that some airlines may treat your transfer as a cancellation and re-booking, effectively making your requirement impossible. If this happens, we will try to find an alternative flight, but this may cost more than the original flight.
We will not refund or compensate you if changes made to your booking, or re-booking, leave you paying for parts of the Holiday Service which you do not use through your own choice.
11. Cancellation by you
If you or a member of your party needs to cancel your booking, you must tell us by email or in writing. We will not accept a cancellation by telephone alone. Cancellation incurs costs for us. Costs vary considerably and are not always precisely identifiable. We therefore charge a rounded cancellation fee as follows.
For travel by air | ||
100% 14-0 days |
In circumstances giving rise to cancellation, we will consider allowing you to transfer the money you have paid, to another One Sky Travel Holiday you choose. But whether we do so is at our discretion, for which we do not have to give a reason.
In any of the above circumstances, we will return any money due to you within 14 days.
If you or a member of your party cancels your booking due to an uncontrollable event affecting the Holiday , such as acts of terrorism, war, serious weather events, then we shall not charge any cancellation fee. Other terms set out in previous paragraphs shall apply as is.
Note: It is a condition of booking with us that you take out travel insurance. You have the option to purchase travel Insurance through the insurer linked to our website, however If you do not accept this insurance, you must be covered by other insurance arrangements covering at least the cancellation of your booking and providing medical cover for illness or injury while overseas. You must provide us with the name of any alternative insurers when you book with us or as soon as possible thereafter. If you travel without suitable travel insurance and anything happens during your flight/holiday which would have been covered by such insurance, we will not meet and will not have any liability for any charges you incur for e.g., medical attention or anything else which a travel insurance policy would normally cover.
12. If we cancel your Holiday or make changes
Because we make travel arrangements far in advance, we sometimes have to change an arrangement and occasionally even cancel a Holiday. If that happens, the following terms apply:
We will always inform you as soon as possible about any change. If that happens you may:
accept the change; or
accept our offer of alternative travel arrangements of a comparable standard; or
cancel your booking, whereupon we will give you a full refund of all money paid.
We will not compensate you for minor changes outside our control. Examples are changes to flight times, aircraft type or different carriers.
13. If you have a complaint
Your point of contact during the Holiday will be:
The accompanying group leaders of One Sky Travel
If you have a problem during your Holiday, it is most important that you immediately inform the relevant provider as well as our representative. If you complain only after you have returned home, we shall not be able to investigate the problem – for your benefit and ours. If that happens, you may lose your right to compensation.
If you feel our representative has not resolved to your problem, please write to us within seven days of your return giving us full details of your Holiday and concise details of the complaint and any subsequent history.
14. Your financial protection
One Sky Travel operating in partnership with Traveletc – a member of Independent Travel Experts. ABTA / ATOL / Travel Trust Association bonded TTA U9197 and Olympic Holidays (trading name of Travelworld Vacations Ltd) Managed by the Civil Aviation Authority ATOL 4108
When you buy an ATOL protected fight or flight-inclusive Holiday from us you will receive an ATOL certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong.
We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).
If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.
15. Limitations on our liability
We want you to enjoy a perfect holiday with One Sky Travel. We shall do our best to make this experience special for you. Nonetheless, we must make clear the limitations in law.
If we fail to provide the Holiday set out on our website and to which these terms apply, we will pay you appropriate compensation. We are not liable if any failure is due to:
your own carelessness or negligence in any aspect of your behaviour whilst on Holiday.
medical emergencies.
laws, culture and standards of service and behaviour in any country we may visit.
changes we reasonably make to an itinerary or to accommodation or any other aspect of the management of your booking.
some third party unconnected with the provision of travel arrangements where we could not reasonably have foreseen or avoided those circumstances.
any other unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control.
a specific event or series of events which we or our contractors or providers could not reasonably have foreseen or prevented.
We and you are subject to international conventions when they apply. This may limit the amount of a claim you may make, against us or anyone else.
The services and features included in your booking are those specified on our website. If you choose to buy other goods or services during your Holiday, those are not part of our service, even if our representative helps you to buy or arrange them. Accordingly, we are not liable to you for any happening in connection with that service or goods.
It is a condition of this contract that you take out a policy of travel insurance for every trip outside the UK. You alone are wholly responsible for arranging your insurance. The period of cover should start no later than the date you make your booking with us.
16. Passport, visa and immigration requirements
It is extremely important that you obtain and carefully check travel and immigration documents required for each country you visit. You alone are responsible for obtaining required travel documents for your party. We do not accept responsibility for any delay or problem which may occur in this connection. If we have local representation at the time of any such problem, we will assist you as far as reasonably possible to resolve it. However, for the benefit of other people on that holiday, it will not be possible to delay or change travel arrangements or events which will affect others in the tour group.
17. Help we need from you.
Your information pack will provide details about your chosen Holiday, but the following are contractual matters:
Most One Sky Travel Holidays require reasonable physical fitness and appropriate footwear. You should be prepared to walk up to a couple of miles a day, sometimes on uneven or slippery surfaces.
To satisfy the majority of our clients, we apply “no smoking” rules in the same way that they are applied by law in the UK. Please note however, that smoking is permitted in some countries we may visit so we cannot prevent third parties from smoking in a bar or restaurant.
If we provide medical help to you, whether or not you specifically ask for it, we will provide receipts for all costs (for your insurer), and you now agree to repay us that cost on your return from the Holiday.
If at any time, it is our opinion (given by any of our staff or representative) that you are acting in a way which may cause accident, injury, discomfort or extreme displeasure to any other member, we may exclude you from the programme for the remainder of the Holiday. You will understand that this extreme action will not be taken lightly but may be necessary to protect the health, safety or enjoyment of other travellers.
18. Terms and conditions of third-party providers
Many of the services we provide, including options which may occur from time to time during your Holiday, are provided by third parties and not directly by us. Each has their own terms and conditions. Whilst the law provides that we are liable to you in the round, for any failure connected with such a provider, our obligations do not cover every contractual term.
Accordingly, instances may arise where you have no redress, for example, in the purchase of locally produced goods. If our representative warns you of a possible problem, for example related to food, and you choose not to take that advice, then we are not liable for any problem which may arise.
19. Miscellaneous matters
One Sky Travel takes your privacy seriously and will only use your personal data in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 as fully described in Schedule [1] to this agreement.
If any term or provision of this agreement is at any time held by any jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then it shall be treated as changed or reduced, only to the extent minimally necessary to bring it within the laws of that jurisdiction and to prevent it from being void and it shall be binding in that changed or reduced form. Subject to that, each provision shall be interpreted as severable and shall not in any way affect any other of these terms.
Any obligation in this agreement intended to continue to have effect after termination or completion shall so continue.
