All bookings must be made by a person aged eighteen years or over.

Completion and submission by you of our Booking Form will be treated by us as confirmation that you have read, understood and accepted these booking conditions.
Financial Protection
Some of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed on this website. This website will provide you with information on the protection that applies in the case of each holiday and travel service offered before you make your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. Please see our booking conditions for information, or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.caa.co.uk.
Data Protection
The protection of your personal information or data is extremely important to us. In order to respond to an enquiry, process and fulfil your booking or send you a brochure or other promotional material, we need to collect personal data from you. We will only process your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy for or in connection with the purpose for which you have provided it (for example, arranging your holiday) or as you have consented to our using it (for example, to send you marketing material) or as permitted by data protection laws. Our Privacy Policy can be found here. Please read our Privacy Policy for full details. You and your personal data will be protected by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (which is otherwise known as GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We refer to this legislation as data protection laws. Original Travel is a data controller of your personal data. We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data, which is appropriate to the harm that might result. Your personal data will be retained by us for the period referred to in our Privacy Policy.
You may ask us what personal data of yours is being held or processed, for what purpose and to whom it may be or has been disclosed. You may also withdraw your consent to receiving marketing material or other communications from us at any time by unsubscribing to our e-mails or otherwise contacting us.

The Price of Your Holiday and Payment
You will be notified at the time of booking of the price of your holiday. What this price includes will be confirmed to you by us at the time of booking and set out in our booking confirmation. You will be required at the time of booking to pay us the full holiday price. Unless you are making a late booking, the balance owing must be paid to us no later than 21 days before your date of departure. If we do not receive the balance by this time, then we will treat the booking as cancelled by you.
We accept cheques, bank transfers and credit or debit card. There are no fees for any payment method. If your booking is made so close to the departure date that it is necessary to issue your documents on departure or send them to you by special delivery, there will be an administration charge payable by you of £25 per booking.
Passports
A valid passport is essential when travelling abroad. Also please note that some overseas countries have an immigration requirement for a passport to remain valid for a minimum period after the date of entry to that country. You are advised to check the requirements of the destination before you make your final travel plans.

Cancellations & Amendments
Once your holiday has been booked, any changes and cancellations are subject to charges. These charges are set by the provider in accordance with their booking conditions which govern the contract. A copy of these can be supplied upon request.
Most cancellation charges are based on a sliding scale, with a percentage of the holiday cost payable in cancellation fees. This scale rises the closer to the date of departure that the holiday is cancelled. Any amendments and cancellations must be made in writing and this must be done as soon as possible by the person in whose name the booking was made.
