5. Check Your Itinerary: As soon as you receive your booked itinerary, check it thoroughly to make sure it is correct as to dates, rimes, fares, and rates.
6. Reconfirmation: Schedule changes are quite common today. We urge you to re-check exact flight times prior to departure and prior to your return.
7. Package Trips: If you book a trip, we must collect the tour operator's or cruise line’s deposit when reservations are made.

g. Advance seat assignments are frequently not available.
