to reinstate airport transfer services cannot be guaranteed. If a flight

All travel companions’ parties agree to take the tour together on their
own will and accord. Disparities financially, culturally, or personally
are each party's responsibility to resolve and must not affect the overall
tour in any fashion. If one party cancels their part of the tour, all
additional penalties or charges associated with the cancellation of the
departing party's tour must be paid by the departing party in full. This
ensures the departing party leaves the attending parties and their tour in
good standing. Travel Companion orders are nonrefundable after the
payments have been submitted by each travel companion party. Travel
Companion tours cannot change departure dates unless all parties consent
to the departure date change. Airport transfers for Travel Companion
orders follow the same standards as airport transfers provided on normal
tours. No additional room alteration to a tour may be made once the tour
has been confirmed. Default tour rooms are standard double rooms with two
queen size or full size beds unless otherwise specified. Additional
bedding arrangements will come at additional fees if available and will be
the responsibility of the travel companion party. All parties herein agree

conditions and have agreed to the continuation of the tour in each party's
good faith and understanding. Multiple pick-up locations and times may not
be available for all tours. Travel Companion parties must decide on one
pick-up location to meet at for the tour (for tours offering pick-up
location services) or one airport transfer service time (for tours
offering airport transfer services; one airport and one transfer per
party). We suggest the selected pick-up location to be equidistant from
each travel companion or the selected airport transfer time to be the
later of the two airport arrivals (Early arrival travel companions should
wait for the later arrival travel companion for one transfer).
