Contract

Any booking(s) made or any order placed by you, whether through Shiraztravel.co.uk or otherwise, shall be deemed an offer by you to purchase the relevant items subject to these booking conditions. Note that Shiraz Travel Ltd is selling the tickets as agents for the airlines, which means the contract for the flight product will be between you and the airline.

Please note that for each ticket there are additional terms which are specific to that fare. They may, for example, state that the ticket is non-cancellable or non - refundable, and have other information relating to itinerary and refunds. You must read the FLIGHT RULES for each ticket.

You are responsible for complying with any airline's terms in relation to check-in times, reconfirmation of flights or other matters. In relation to flight tickets, you are required to use all flight coupons in order of sequence. If this requirement is not met the airline may void the ticket. A contract arises between you and the airline when we send you a confirmation e-mail on behalf of Shiraz Travel Ltd confirming that they have accepted your booking(s).

Fares

All fares are quoted exclusive of taxes, plus the tax amount, post fee if applicable and ticketing fee and then a total. These are added together to form your final quotation. Fares are subject to change without prior notice and are only guaranteed when following confirmation of the contract. Generally, the more flexible the ticket the more expensive it is likely to be and you need to take various points into consideration before deciding between the fares on offer.

Reservations

Shiraz Travel is connected to a vast database run by a third party, which provide the flight availability, these databases are known as General Distribution Systems (GDS) or Central reservation Systems (CRS). Certain airlines exists which do not maintain "real time" seat availability in the GDS/CRS. Therefore, instances may occur when airlines cancel sales due to the seats not being available. Although whilst every effort is made to minimize such cases, in the event of such a scenario arising Shiraz Travel Ltd will advise you within 48 hours and will do all they can to reinstate your booking(s).

There are a limited number of airlines which participate in the GDS/CRS, but do not participate in the UK Ticketing plan. In the unlikely event that you purchase tickets from an airline that does not participate in the UK Ticketing Plan Shiraz Travel Ltd will be unable to issue the relevant tickets and will have to terminate the reservation. In either instances we will not be liable for any additional costs incurred in having to purchase new tickets at a higher fare. Payment for tickets will of course be refunded to you if the reservation is terminated by the airline or us.

Tickets

Flight Reconfirmation

All onward, outward and return flights must be reconfirmed with the relevant airlines at least 72 hours prior to the commencement of that leg of the journey. Shiraz Travel Ltd will accept no responsibility for booking(s) cancelled due to non-compliance with rules set by that particular airline. Shiraz Travel Ltd also takes no responsibility for any flight rescheduling en route.
In the event of a schedule change it is not always necessary to have your tickets revalidated. However in some cases this may be necessary and we will inform you in due course and issue new tickets for you to use on your journey.
