πŸ“˜ 2. PAYMENTS & REFUNDS – Detailed Article

Accepted Payment Methods

We accept major debit and credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, and select international cards. Payments are processed securely through encrypted gateways, ensuring your financial information remains protected at all times.

Deposits & Instalments

Some holiday packages allow low deposits or instalment-based payment plans. Where available, the deposit amount and remaining balance will be clearly shown during checkout. Failure to pay outstanding balances may result in cancellation without refund.

Payment Failure or Decline

If a payment declines, the booking may not be confirmed. Prices and availability can change quickly, so we recommend completing payment promptly. If funds were deducted but you did not receive confirmation, contact us to verify the transaction.

Refund Eligibility

Refunds are governed by airline or supplier policies. Many flight tickets are non-refundable, while flexible fares may allow partial refunds. On Beach Holiday service fees are non-refundable across all transactions. Refund eligibility will be assessed once we receive your request.

Refund Processing Times

Refund timelines vary depending on the supplier. Airline refunds may take between 6–12 weeks due to internal processing times. Hotel and package refunds usually process within 2–8 weeks. We will keep you informed throughout.

πŸ“˜ 3. CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS – Detailed Article

Changing Your Travel Dates

Date changes depend entirely on airline fare rules. Some fares allow changes for a fee, while others do not permit any modifications. If allowed, you must pay any fare and tax differences plus the airline’s change fee.

Correcting Passenger Names

Minor spelling errors may be correctable for a small fee depending on the airline. Major changes are treated as cancellations and new bookings. Always ensure names match passports exactly to avoid issues at the airport.

Cancelling Flights or Packages

Cancellation charges increase as you get closer to the travel date. Many low-cost airline fares are strictly non-refundable. For holiday packages, cancellation fees may apply separately to flights, hotels, transfers, and extras.

Supplier Penalties

Suppliers impose their own cancellation and amendment penalties. These vary widely by airline, hotel type, or travel season. Our team will explain all applicable fees before confirming any changes.

Revalidation & Rebooking Fees

In cases of schedule changes, name mismatches, or date adjustments, airlines may require ticket revalidation or reissue. These processes incur administrative charges plus any differences in fare.

πŸ“˜ 4. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS & ENTRY REQUIREMENTS – Detailed Article

Passport Validity

Most countries require passports to be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel date. Some destinations accept shorter validity while others require longer. Always check official government guidelines before travelling.

Visa Requirements

Visa rules differ by destination and nationality. Some countries allow visa-free entry, while others require applications submitted weeks in advance. Others offer visa-on-arrival or e-visas. It is your responsibility to obtain the correct visa before travel.

Health & Vaccination Rules

Certain destinations require proof of vaccinations such as Yellow Fever, Hepatitis, or other region-specific immunisations. Some countries have special entry requirements relating to health declarations or pre-arrival forms.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is highly recommended to protect against unforeseen events such as medical emergencies, cancellations, or lost luggage. Ensure your policy covers the full duration of your trip and any planned activities.

Special Assistance

If you require wheelchair assistance, medical support, or special meal requests, please inform us at least 48 hours before travel so we can coordinate with the airline.

πŸ“˜ 5. BEFORE YOU TRAVEL – Detailed Article

Baggage Allowances

Each airline has unique cabin and checked baggage rules. Before travelling, confirm your allowed weight, dimensions, and number of bags to avoid costly airport fees.

Airport Arrival Times

We recommend arriving at least 3 hours before international departures and 2 hours before domestic flights. This ensures sufficient time for check-in, security, and boarding.

Online Check-In

Many airlines open online check-in 24 to 48 hours before departure. Checking in early allows you to confirm your seat and avoid long queues at the airport.

Flight Schedule Changes

Airlines occasionally adjust flight times. Always reconfirm your departure time 48 hours before travelling to avoid any surprises.

Packing Guidelines

Liquids over 100ml must be placed in checked baggage. Sharp objects, chemical products, and certain electronics may be restricted depending on airline and destination laws.

πŸ“˜ 6. DURING YOUR TRIP – Detailed Article

Flight Delays or Cancellations

If your flight is delayed or cancelled, follow the airline’s instructions at the airport. Many airlines offer rebooking options or compensation based on local regulations. Contact us if you need help with alternative arrangements.

Missed Connections

If your itinerary is on a single ticket and you miss a connecting flight, the airline should rebook you on the next available flight. If on separate tickets, you may need to purchase a new flight.

Hotel Check-In Issues

If you encounter issues such as room unavailability, overbooking, or incorrect arrangements, contact the hotel reception first. If unresolved, contact On Beach Holiday for assistance.

Lost or Delayed Luggage

Airlines are responsible for lost or delayed baggage. File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) at the airport immediately. Keep receipts for essential purchases for reimbursement claims.
