By signing below, I understand and accept for myself and the travelers included in my party Maria's Travel's Fee Structure. I acknowledge and accept there are cancellation policies, change fees, and penalties that apply to my travel plans and services. I agree to all fees such as cancellation policies, change fees, and penalties. I also understand these fees are separate from the cost of my trip.

Travel documents, including passports, visas, and health/vaccination certificates required are your responsibility. Valid passports are absolutely required for all international destinations and the expiration date should be at least 6 months following the return date of your trip. Some countries require that your passport have two to four blank visa/stamp pages. Some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement is not met. See this State.gov link for passport support.

When traveling domestically or internationally, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry at least two forms of acceptable identification in order to board a flight. (See this link.) Examples: DHS designated enhanced driver’s license, USA Passport, a foreign government passport. The name, date of birth, and gender that appear on the identification card must exactly match the same data that is listed on airline ticket(s) and booking records.

Additionally, a visa and vaccinations may be required. 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 records may contribute to the decision of the local immigration official(s). Should a visa not be issued, Maria's Travel is not responsible for lost payments made toward the contemplated trip. If traveling to or through Canada, travelers with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or other conviction records should always check whether current rules exclude admission. Maria's Travel feels it is an invasion of privacy to make such an inquiry of you. The final decision of entry rests with the immigration or border services officer. For more information see Canada's government site and the Canadian Immigration facts.

Visit the USA State Department Web site www.travel.state.gov on a regular basis for information regarding the incidence of disease, terrorism, safety issues, crime, the need for travel documentation (such as passports, visas, proof of health/vaccination certificates), health hazards, and other restrictions regarding travel to your domestic and/or international destination(s), and re-entry into the United States. Required or advised inoculations you decide to obtain upon the advice of your personal physician may need to be administered in a series of doses months ahead of your planned departure and such time element should be taken into account by you when making deposits and/or non-refundable final payments. Visit the websites of the USA Centers for Disease Control and the International Society of Travel Medicine.

Availability and price quotes are applicable to the date and time at which they are requested and cannot be guaranteed until payment is made. Quotes in a foreign currency fluctuate with exchange rates and international payments may carry a foreign transaction fee. Maria's Travel will make every effort to honor the price as originally quoted, however, under certain circumstances, additional costs by a supplier or government may be imposed due to an increase in the cost for one or more of the travel components.

Flight confirmation is subject to availability and prices are subject to change after the date of deposit, including price increases in the fee for a seat assignment, fee for baggage, applicable fuel surcharges, or an increase in a government-imposed fee or tax. Passport copies are required to confirm international air reservations. Correct legal names that match identification to be used for travel must be provided by the client to Maria's Travel. Name changes are not permitted on airline tickets. Clients are responsible for providing accurate information on the Client Traveler Profile form. Maria's Travel is not responsible for costs incurred by incorrect information provided for travel planning including reservations and airline tickets.

Once purchased, US air transaction prices will not increase, except for potential charges resulting from government-imposed taxes or fees. I consent to pay for such charges and authorize Maria's Travel to charge my credit card for such additional amounts.

Certain suppliers reserve the right to increase prices to cover increased costs, fuel surcharges, tariffs and taxes, and to reflect fluctuations in foreign exchange markets. If for any reason my credit card charges are later declined, reversed, or Maria's Travel is unable to receive payment for the travel plans and services, I acknowledge that this is a binding contract between myself and Maria's Travel shall be entitled to recovery, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the collection. Overnight shipping fees for documents shipped to the client from Maria's Travel may be billed to the client.
