Individual Terms & Conditions

Travel Insurance:  Many of the problems for which we cannot be held responsible for can be insured against. We highly recommend that you take out insurance to provide adequate cover for medical expenses, personal accident, loss of baggage and curtailment or cancellation of trip.

Travel Insurance is recommended for both out of province medical and cancellation coverage.  Please refer to our recommended insurers’ brochures for full details and conditions.  If the Invoice does not note that Insurance has been purchased or the Insurance Policy Number is not noted on the Itinerary, then you have elected to DECLINE travel insurance.

Individuals are responsible to finance on the spot medical treatment and other contingencies, and then to reclaim this from insurance, if covered. You will be required to provide documentation to the insurance company to facilitate a claim. Please note that there are exclusions to coverage of insurance. It is our responsibility to be familiar with the insurance coverage purchased and ensure that the coverage meets your travel needs, though it is your responsibility as an insurance policy holder to understand your policy coverage completely.

Insurance has to be purchased and paid for in full as soon as the booking is made to become fully effective.

Pre-Existing conditions and circumstances are not covered which includes COVID-19 unless otherwise stated in your insurance policy.

Fees: Please note that additional airport fees and government taxes (other than sales tax) may not be included in your ticket price, these are frequently collected at destination.

Increases: Please note that all airfares and tour operator rates are subject to change without notice if full payment for booking has not been received. Ultimate Destination Weddings Ltd. therefore cannot warrant that prices will not change, and an increase must be borne and paid for upon demand either by Ultimate Destination Weddings Ltd., the airline, the tour operator or the supplier of the service until booking is paid in full.

Credit Card Chargeback: If for any reason, any travel service provider is unable to provide the service for which was contracted, your remedy lies against that provider and not with Ultimate Destination Weddings Ltd. In the event that payment has been made to Ultimate Destination Weddings Ltd. by credit card you agree that you will not seek to chargeback your payment to Ultimate Destination Weddings Ltd.

Declined Card: If the credit card is declined, no bookings will be finalized with our suppliers.

Cancellations, changes, and ex-changes: Please be aware that most travel bookings are non – refundable and non – reroutable. Any changes or amendments to itinerary or passenger details are either not permitted or will incur a penalty from the airline or supplier. Please see itinerary and tour operator terms and conditions for penalty details. Please note that airline/supplier refunds can take up to 16 (sixteen) weeks. Airline tickets are generally non – refundable once travel has commenced.

Refunds: Service Providers will not issue a refund or reimbursement for unused travel services due to any incident beyond their control. If a travel booking or portion of the booking is cancelled due to inclement weather or personal illness, refunds must be claimed through your travel insurance (only if purchased through Manulife Global Insurance or your personal insurance provider). Otherwise there is no entitlement to a refund or reimbursement beyond Air Canada Vacations’ terms and conditions.

Visas & Passports: Please ensure that you have valid travel documentation and visa. A passport is the only reliable and universally accepted travel and identification document. Using other documentation may result in delays or being denied boarding. You need a visa to enter many foreign countries. The requirements and processing times for your visa will depend on what you intend to do while you are abroad: visit, study or work. Any Visa advice provided to you is dependent on the accuracy of the information provided by you. Visa advice is current but can change prior to your intended travel. Please verify documentation requirements closer to your travel dates. Most international countries require a passport with at least 6 months’ validity beyond the intended travel time. Other documentation requirements, including visas, will vary depending on citizenship status. Special documentation may be required for unaccompanied minors or children traveling without both parents.

For more information, please inquire with the Consular Affairs Bureau for Canadians Abroad or review online the Essential Information for Canadian Travelers Guide at voyage.gc.ca.

For domestic flights: all passengers must be in possession of government-issued photo identification. Children under 16 should carry proof of identity, if no photo ID is available.

For international flights: Passengers traveling outside Canada, regardless of nationality, must consult with travel agents and local consulates about regulations on passports and visas. For more information on passports and visas, consult the Canada Customs & Revenue Agency web site. Depending on the requirements of the destination country, each passenger must be in possession of proof of citizenship with photo ID in the form of passport, birth certificate and driver’s license, or citizenship card.

Agency: Ultimate Destination Weddings Ltd. acts as a travel agent only. Many of the services that make up your travel booking are provided by independent suppliers (“Service Providers”). Payment of your travel booking to us, as the Agent of the Service Provider, contracts you to the terms and conditions of the Service Provider. If for any reason, any Service Provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Service Provider, and not against us. We do not represent that any travel products or services will be suitable for you. We rely on the information that is provided by the Service Providers to assist you to make an informed decision, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy in respect thereof.

It is possible that flight times, accommodations, and or other travel services booked may change even after the booking is completed and full payment is received. In addition, hotel room requests are based on availability and are not guaranteed. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of the Service Providers. Please ensure that we have your current contact information so that we can notify you of such changes. A request cannot be guaranteed.

What ID does a child need when traveling? Whether traveling alone or accompanied by an adult, each child must travel with his own travel documents plus supporting documentation: i.e. birth certificate showing the names of both parents and/or legal documents pertaining to custody. Also, the adults traveling with the minor children are strongly advised to hold a notarized letter of travel consent signed by the parent(s) or guardian(s) with legal custody. The letter must include the signor’s address, phone details, authorization to travel, the destination and length of stay. If a parent/guardian is divorced or deceased, custody document or death certificate is required.

For unaccompanied minors traveling please notify your travel agent and the airline of the person who is responsible for meeting the minor at destination.

Baggage allowances and restrictions: will apply on all airlines, these will vary, and you should contact the airline you are traveling with directly to verify specific restrictions. Due to recent fuel price increases, luggage weight limitations have been further reduced. Some airlines may charge fees for checked baggage. Please inquire with your airline(s) for details.

US Regulations for flights: 100% screening of all checked baggage. For flights departing from the United States, all checked baggage is subject to 100% inspection using various screening methods. Passengers will be advised at the check-in counter that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will be inspecting all checked baggage. Notices advising passengers to leave their bags unlocked are displayed at the check-in counter.

As a result, the following guidelines should be followed by all passengers to ensure safe and efficient processing:

  • Passengers are urged to leave all of their checked baggage unlocked, to avoid the need to forcibly open bags that require further physical inspection
  • Passengers are advised to use cable or zip ties as an alternative to baggage locks
