Our Flexibility Promise

Postponed Travel

You were about to book your flight when your boss’s fish just died and you were rejected for leave. Sometimes there are situations that can't be avoided and the need to postpone the trip. We get it. Hence why there won't be additional charges from us.

However, there may be cancellation and amendment fees imposed by our suppliers and is likely due to the nature of the tour, caused by seasonal increase and availability of accommodation. You can count on us on working together, as most of our suppliers are happy to be flexible as we are.

See you soon!
