All communications, including questions about modifications, cancellation, payments, and future travel credits, must be via email.
Independent third-party suppliers operate the following excursions, guided tours, transportation, day and night events sold by Empire Travel.

1. Bookings, Deposits & Payments
Empire Travel accepts payment by a variety of credit and debit cards. Coming in 2021, we are glad to announce will offer the Uplift monthly payment plan.
Payments must be submitted monthly to keep your reservation active. Non-payment or two late payments without notification will result in cancellation, and funds will be forfeited. All travel mates must book under the same package. Choose your travel mates wisely! If a cancellation occurs that changes the occupancy, the remaining occupant(s) will be required to pay the applicable occupancy rate. For example, if you book a triple occupancy room and one travel mate cancels, the remaining parties will be required to pay the double occupancy rate. Reservations that are not paid in full by the final payment deadline assessed a $75 late fee and canceled within 48 hours. All funds paid towards your package will be forfeited.
If you made a credit card payment and requested to refund and pay with a different card, be advised that a $40 processing fee charged for refunding a previously applied payment and recharging the other credit card.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations require you to provide your full name as it appears on your travel documents, date of birth, and gender at the time of booking for watch-list screening. Failure to provide this information will result in you not being allowed to travel. For details, visit tsa.gov. When booking with an airline-sponsored credit card, benefits such as free baggage fees may apply when booking with the airline directly, not valid to your Empire Travel Group Getaway Package.
To reserve your group getaway package, provide the required booking information and pay the applicable deposit per person, including the Travel Protection (if selected). Suppose you decline Travel Protection and cancel your booking. In that case, a travel protection decline waiver required by our agency, and any refund due (after applicable penalties) will be in the form of a future travel credit. We reserve the right to treat the booking as canceled by you if the balance is unpaid when due. Monthly payments are due each month. You are welcome to pay additional to lower your balance. However, we do not accept rollover payments to satisfy a future monthly payment.
Monthly payments due to the 15th of each month unless otherwise stated. The final payment is due 14 days from either the 1st or the 15th. The Terms and Conditions, Empire Website, Informational Packet, and the Client Contract of each event will list the final due date. It is your responsibility to be sure payments arrive at us on or before that date. All event payments must be submitted by 11:59 PM EST on the final payment date. If you fail to submit your final amount by the deadline, your reservation canceled, and all funds will be forfeited.
Late payments will incur a $25 late fee. Once assessed, your invoice will be adjusted, and the late fee required with your next monthly payment.

9. Is travel insurance a waste of money?
Just another expense, right? Wrong. A travel insurance plan can cover you for unexpected costs incurred before or during your trip so that payments can be less likely to come out of your pocket. A travel insurance plan from Travel Guard helps to protect your trip investment with coverages like trip cancellation and interruption, medical expense, and evacuation, lost or delayed baggage, and more.
As a bonus - most travel insurance plans also include 24/7 assistance services to re-book flights and hotels on your behalf and act as a personal travel assistant while you are away from home.
10. Travel Protection
We strongly recommend that you purchase Travel Protection to cover your cancellation and change fees.
Trips get canceled. It is not fun, but it happens. And when it does, that's when trip insurance can make a world of difference. Suppose you need to cancel for work or illness or weather, or any other covered reason. When you are covered, you can begin to relax. Plus, filing a claim is very user-friendly. That is a nice feeling in an unpredictable world.
Purchase within 15 days of your initial deposit date, and early purchase benefits may apply.
The initial deposit date is the day on which you made your first payment toward the trip.
Losing your investment towards a vacation is the absolute worst. Therefore, we highly recommend purchasing travel protection to protect against trip cancellation, trip interruption, baggage loss or delay, medical expenses, and more.
You may purchase Insurance up to 24 hours before your trip departure date.
Travel Protection payments are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
11. Travel Insurance Refunds
Claims are filed directly with Travel Guard, processed by Travel Guard, and refunds are handled directly by Travel Guard and not by Empire Dynasty Travel. Your policy will be emailed directly to you once processed by Empire Dynasty Travel. You may contact Travel Guard at 1.800.826.5248 to inquire about the claim.
12. Changes, Cancellations & Refunds
You must immediately notify Empire Travel by sending only an email from the registered email address on file with our agency to cancel or make changes to your vacation package. Email your cancellation request to empiredynastytravel@gmail.com with your full name, an invoice number, the event you are canceling, and the reason for cancellation.
Changes to an existing reservation will incur a $50 per person fee plus any additional supplier fees. This policy includes name changes and the removal of any services.
Within 14 days of a reservation cancellation, you may reinstate your reservation. A fee of $50.00 will be required & paid at the time of reinstatement.
For all last-minute reservations and subject to availability, you may pay in full to secure.
All applicable cancellation penalties will apply.
If your plans change, your right to a refund with the insurance company or a future travel credit with Empire Travel is limited and subject to penalties and fees, as noted herein. If insurance is purchased, please contact Travel Guard at 1.800.826.5248 and provide your policy number.
If you did NOT buy Travel Protection, any refund due (after applicable penalties) would be in the form of a future travel credit.
If you purchased Travel Protection, and your claim denied, please email the official letter of denial to our office. The total refund due will automatically become a future travel credit as Empire Travel does not issue a cash refund.
Future travel credits are valid for 12 months from the date of
issuance.
The future travel credit must require using for travel commencing
before the expiration date.
Future travel credit is nontransferable and nonrefundable.
Future travel credit has no cash value.
The name listed on the future travel credit will match the name listed on the original reservation, with no exceptions.
All changes and cancellations are subject to availability,
limitations, restrictions, and fees imposed by Empire Travel, hotel, and
feature/excursion suppliers. Passengers who do not travel are subject to 100% cancellation penalties.
If you cancel your vacation or change your departure date, flight, duration, class of service, name, departure city, or destination, an additional payment may be required.
Significant additional penalties (i.e., nonrefundable airline
tickets and fees, nonrefundable or nontransferable hotel promotions) may apply.
If the number of individuals occupying a room changes due to a cancellation or booking change, the remaining traveler(s) will be responsible for any additional costs incurred due to a change in the per-person occupancy rate. If all travelers change, it is considered a new booking, and cancellation fees will apply. Once travel has begun, there will be no future travel credit for any unused or partially used travel component for any reason. Standard change and cancellation policies apply to bookings made with future travel credits.
13. Credit Card Transactions & Chargebacks
The guest agrees that in consideration of the agency, Empire Dynasty Travel agreement to accept payment by credit card, should any dispute arise between the parties, the guest will not submit a "chargeback" or otherwise dispute the credit card company's charge. All such conflicts of disputes mutually agreed to be resolved according to the Dispute Resolution provision of this Contract.
If for any reason, any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider and not against Empire Travel. If payment has been made to Empire Travel by credit card, you agree that you will not seek to chargeback your payment to Empire Travel.
Should the guest submit a chargeback in violation of this provision, the guest agrees that this paragraph provided to the credit card company in response to such chargeback and that the chargeback automatically denied as a result.
Suppose Empire Travel incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company. In that case, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If the credit card declined, you guarantee that you will settle any amounts owed to Empire Travel via money order or cash immediately.
14. Customer Number
Your invoice numbers.
15. Travel Documents
Your travel documents will be emailed to you once full payment is received. Please check them carefully to ensure that all the information is correct and that passenger names match your Proof of Citizenship. If you discover an error, please contact our office immediately.
16. Required Entry/ Re-entry Documentation
Proper documentation is YOUR responsibility.
At the time of publication, the following information was provided based on current requirements for U.S. citizens.
This information may change; please contact your destination consulate for your travel date's most current requirements. Passengers returning to the U.S. by air from any international destination must have a valid passport. They may be denied boarding by the airline if the passport is damaged, mutilated, or has excessive wear. A "Passport Card" is not acceptable. If your name on your passport (or for non-U.S. citizens, "valid travel documents") does not match your name on your travel documentation, you will not be allowed to travel. A passport valid for up to 6 months past the date of completed travel is required when traveling internationally. Married or divorced women traveling under names other than what printed on their travel documents must supply a marriage license or divorce decree. For details on how to obtain a passport, contact your local courthouse or post office. If you are not a U.S. citizen, contact your destination's consulate or embassy to determine required entry documents.
Passports are NOT required for travel within the continental U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. However, travel to these U.S. destinations/U.S.
Territories require a valid state/government-issued picture I.D. or valid state-issued driver's license compliant with the Real ID ACT. Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act established minimum I.D. security standards and prohibited federal agencies, like T.S.A., from accepting licenses and identification cards for official purposes from states that do not meet these standards.
Passengers traveling domestically with a driver's license issued by a non-compliant state with the REAL ID ACT (and has not been granted an extension) will need to show an alternative form of acceptable identification for domestic air travel to board their flight. To check whether your state is compliant or has an extension, visit dhs.gov/real-id. If your state-issued I.D. or driver's license is not compliant, visit tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification for alternate forms of acceptable I.D.
Due to COVID-19, the deadline for domestic airline passengers to secure a Real ID driver's license for use as identification at the airport moved back one year. Enforcement is now due to begin on October 1, 2021.
Any passenger who is denied boarding due to a lack of proper documentation will have their vacation canceled.
Failure to comply with the above requirements will result in you not being allowed to travel, and no future travel credit granted.
17. Group Harmony
To ensure the desired group synergy, Empire Dynasty Travel reserves the right to accept, reject, or expel any individual deemed disruptive or incompatible with the interests of the group. Expenses, including cancellation fees and or costs for alternative travel plans to return home, will be the passenger's responsibility. All unused services are nonrefundable.
18. Traveling Minors
We cannot accept unaccompanied minors under 18 for any travel. For certain countries, notarized consent from both parents or legal guardian(s) required for children younger than 18 years old traveling with one parent, or in someone else's custody; or a notarized birth certificate showing only one parent, a parent's death certification or a court order of child custody MAY also be permissible. Be sure to check with your travel agent, inquire with your destination's consulate, or visit websites such as travel.state.gov, dhs.gov, or iatatravelcentre.com. Mexican-born minors under 18 years of age are traveling alone or with someone other than a parent or legal guardian required special documentation for departing Mexico, even if the Minor is a Dual Mexican Citizen. For details, contact the Mexican embassy or click here. Some airlines may require documentation for children traveling without their legal guardian beyond what is mandated by the destination country- contact your airline directly for details.
19. Denial of Entry
Certain countries may deny entry to travelers with even a minor criminal record. If not a U.S. citizen, enter back into the U.S. Check with the U.S. Embassy and the embassy or consulate of the country visited to ensure you can travel as planned. Empire Travel does not accept responsibility if denied entry and cancellation penalties apply.
20. Package Pricing - Exclusions
If you have not paid for your vacation in full, you will be responsible for any increases in the price of any components of the vacation package. Empire Travel reserves the right to re-invoice your reservation should an error be made in computing your vacation price.

If you request special arrangements such as adjoining rooms/room locations, bedding requests, specific assistance, or special meals, we will pass on your request to the vendor on your behalf.

29. Best Time to Purchase Airline Ticket
The best time to buy flights for your winter vacation is 62 days in advance, according to the CheapAir report. It is 69 days in advance for fall travel, and for spring travel, it's 90 days in advance.
If an airline decides to have a fare sale, it will post it on Monday night, releasing the tickets first on Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, other airlines will try to match the price and begin their sales in the early hours of Tuesday. But buy quickly; the airlines usually pull the deals by Thursday evening.
The Best Day of The Week to Buy Plane Tickets. Tuesday is usually the cheapest day to buy a ticket. ...
Contrary to popular belief, booking airline tickets late is often cheaper. ... Airlines know that business travelers tend to book their seats at the last minute and are willing to pay a premium for their flights. The logic follows that the earlier you book, the cheaper your seat will be. But it is not always so.
The days of the week, you fly matter, too, and it matters year-round. For U.S. domestic flights, the cheapest days to fly are usually Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. For flights to Europe, weekdays tend to be less expensive than weekends.
30. Photographic Release
Empire Dynasty Travel or its affiliates may photograph or video its trips. Trip participants grant Empire Dynasty Travel and affiliates permission to do so and use the same for promotional or commercial use without any compensation.
31. Release Authorization

I am aware that weather conditions may be severe, adverse, and unpleasant.

To partake in this trip's enjoyment and excitement, I am willing to accept the risks and uncertainty involved as an integral part of my adventure.

38. Advice to International Passengers on Limitation of Liability
Passengers embarking upon a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of departure advised that the provisions of an international treaty (the Warsaw Convention, the 1999 Montreal Convention, or other treaties).

The applicable treaty governs and may limit carriers' liability to passengers for death or personal injury, destruction, or loss of, damage to, baggage, and delay of passengers and luggage.
We recommend additional protection by purchasing insurance from a private company.
Such insurance is not affected by any limitation of the carrier's liability under an international treaty.
