1. Bookings and Payments
All that is required to reserve your vacation is a signed booking form and a deposit of $125 per person, plus the AV-OK insurance premium (if applicable). The balance due must be paid at least 45 days before departure (for bookings within 45 days of departure, full payment is due at time of booking). For certain holiday departures, full payment is due 60 days prior to departure. We reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled by you if the balance due is not paid on time. For vacation packages utilizing published airline tickets, a deposit of $125 per person PLUS full payment of the air portion of the package is required at the time of guarantee. For vacation packages using contracted scheduled air, a minimum deposit of $175 is required at the time of booking. For Europe reservations, a minimum deposit of $200 is required at time of booking.
Apple Vacations reserves the right to issue charter or scheduled airline tickets once the booking is under applicable deposit.
Late bookings often require us to incur additional costs for faxing, updating and confirming your hotel accommodations.Therefore,we will charge a late booking fee of $10 per person, in addition to the normal price on all vacations booked 14 days or less prior to departure.

2. Amendments And Cancellations
If you cancel your vacation (or change your departure date, duration, class of service, name or hotel), the charges shown below become payable by you. Significant additional penalties (i.e. non-refundable airline tickets and fees, nonrefundable or non-transferable hotel promotions) may apply.

3. Air Carriers
Apple Vacations has made arrangements for international air transportation to your vacation destination via certified charter or scheduled air carriers duly filed under D.O.T. regulations. Apple Vacations reserves the right to substitute alternate aircraft if necessary.
Any air transportation provided by a certified charter air carrier may not be cancelled less than 10 days prior the scheduled departure date unless it is physically impossible to operate the flight.
U.S. citizens traveling outside the Continental U.S. must have valid proof of citizenship. Apple Vacations is not responsible for any passenger denied boarding by a carrier for failure to have a valid proof of citizenship.

Some airlines do not cover damage to soft-sided luggage. The airlines maximum liability for loss, damage or delay to checked baggage is limited to $2800 per ticketed passenger domestically and $9.07 per pound up to 44lbs per ticketed passenger for international travel. These limits will apply unless an excess valuation is declared at the time of check-in.

What We Provide In Return

1. Price Guarantee
Our intention is to provide you with the vacation which you have selected, at the price in effect at time of booking. If for any reason we have to increase the price of your vacation, including an error made in computing your price, we will offer you the option of cancellation without charge, provided that you advise us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the increase. This does not apply to price increases resulting from a change in U.S. or foreign government taxes or fuel surcharges.
If a scheduled airline initiates a schedule change which results in a fare increase, the passenger is responsible for the additional cost.

2. Flight Information
Your travel agent will be able to confirm the latest flight details at the time you make your reservation, and these will also appear on the booking confirmation we issue when we receive your deposit. Your flight tickets, which we dispatch two to four weeks prior to departure (except for late bookings), will contain your flight information. All times are subject to change. Apple Vacations assumes no responsibility for any passengers making independent connections to our flights.

3. Amendments & Cancellation
Special features offered by hotels are subject to change at the hotel's discretion. In the unlikely event that a major pre-departure change involving a change of hotel, departure or return date, departure city or destination becomes necessary, we will notify you as soon as possible. If you find the revised arrangements we offer unacceptable, you will have the option of cancellation without charge (less any insurance premium) provided that you notify us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the change (or prior to departure date if notified less than seven days prior).
In the event of a change, we will try to substitute comparable services, but in the event of complete cancellation by us or a supplier, our only liability will be to refund all monies paid (public charters only) or provide a refund in the form of an Apple Vacations credit. For charter flights only, if landing rights are denied by a foreign government, the flight will be cancelled with a full refund.

4. Refunds
Any refunds due to you will be made as soon as possible. Please note, however, that no refunds will be made for any services provided in the itinerary that you do not use. Insurance premiums are non-refundable and non-transferable. Refunds (if applicable) for scheduled air programs must be issued upon the return of the unused ticket. Apple Vacations accepts bookings only through travel agents and all communications prior to your departure, including payment and refund transactions, must be via your travel agent.
If for any reason you should lose your scheduled airline ticket, you will have to purchase a new ticket at your own expense and upon your return home, you must contact your travel agent to begin refund procedures by completing a "Lost Ticket Application" (fees may apply). Any refunds made by the airline will be based on the value of the original ticket issued less any airline processing fees. In most cases the replacement ticket you have to purchase will be more expensive.
