AIRLINE SERVICES

If a child is between 5 years old to 16 years old and is traveling alone, he/she can ask for the unaccompanied service to travel alone. The child will pay full adult ticket price plus the unaccompanied service fee imposed by the airline. It is the passenger responsibility to let an agent from Trinity Travel know that there will be a child traveling alone and that they will need a service. All fees are paid at the airport at Check-in. If a child is between 12 years old to 18 years old and is traveling alone and does not want the unaccompanied service, needs to let the travel agent know, because some airlines do not allow a person younger than 18 years old to travel alone without the service. It is the passenger responsibility to let the agent know the age of the child traveling so that he/she can check on rules and policies about minors traveling without an adult. It is the passenger responsibility to get all proper documentations needed regarding a child traveling abroad. In some cases, parents will need to have a notary letter that allows the child to travel alone or with an adult other than their parents.

If you are planning to take a pet on your trip, it is important that you give the travel agent the following information: the kind of pet traveling, the weight of the pet, the weight and dimensions of the traveling bag or cage. Once the reservation is done, the travel agent will need to request the space for the pet on the plane. It is the passenger responsibility to get all other travel documentations needed from the Veterinarian once the seat is confirm. There will be a free imposed by the airline depending whether the pet will travel one way or round trip and all fees are paid at the airport Check-in.

CANCELLATION, REROUTING, DELAYS BY THE AIRLINE

In the case of cancelation, rerouting or flight delay the airline will offer assistance and compensation. You need to contact an Airline representative to assist you with rebooking your flights, hotels and meals voucher etc. and for further explanation for the Airline procedure. Ask for a solution as soon as you encounter the problem, and make sure you contact someone who has the authority to take action – typically the manager. Your chances for satisfactory solution are much better by callingthe airline. Flight changes, cancellations and overbooking are entirely the Airline’s responsibility.

CANCELLATIONS BY PASSENGER

Before paying for a trip, check all applicable cancellation policies. If you are not comfortable with them consider purchasing a travel insurance policy that will permit cancellation for any reason without penalty. Should you have to cancel a trip before the journey commenced, you will need to contact Trinity Travel before the departure date. For tickets that are completely non refundable non transferable, the passenger can submit the ticket for a partial refund with a fee of minimum $300.00. The only time that the airline will waive the penalty is by hospitalization and the passenger can not travel based on his/her condition. The hospitalization proof in the form of admission and discharge must be provided by the hospital and not by a doctor. An emergency visit to the hospital does not quality for a waiver. Once the trip has commenced, tickets are non refundable non transferable and do not qualify for partial refund at all.

CHANGES REQUESTED BY PASSENGER

Should you wish to change any aspect of your trip you must contact Trinity Travel or the airline in advance. The fare for the new transportation will be calculated and you will be given the option of accepting the new price or maintaining the original as ticketed. In addition the Airline will also charge a penalty fee that can varied depending on the change. Please note that the airline’s fees are not the same as the agency processing fees. As of 01.01.09 Trinity Travel will charge $50.00 processing fee per ticket. If after having commenced your journey, you are prevented from traveling within the period of validity of the Ticket for any reason, the airline may extend the period of validity based on the ticket’s rule for a fee imposed by the airline. If you need to charge a name due to incorrect spelling on the ticket, the travel agency can either indicate the full name of the passenger on the reservation and keep the ticket as printed, or change the name for a fee imposed by the airline. This does not mean that the ticket is transferable to another person.

Airlines ask passengers to arrive no less than 1 ½ hours before a domestic departure and usually three hours before an international flight. We recommend leaving two hours between connecting flights and longer if you have to go through customs and immigration. All Carriers routinely close check-in for international flights an hour before the scheduled departure. The airline reserves the right to cancel your reservation if you do not comply with the check-in deadlines indicated.
