Travel Information - General

FareObuddy provides you with all the information linked to your travel plans, itinerary, and Terms after you make the booking. This information also includes the details of destination, affordable packages, and your flight schedule.

This information is given to us through our third-party suppliers which include airlines, tour operators, and other providers. We have taken all the steps to make sure that the information we share with you is accurate and current. But if it is not, we do not have any responsibility for the same and have no liability in such a case. You must also understand that all the information displayed on our website is subject to change without prior notice. Also, the services offered by us are subject to availability. As a user of FareObuddy, you understand all the legal needs of traveling include passport, visa, health insurance, and will supply us with the same to complete your booking. We are simply service providers and are here to assist you with the process through our desktop or mobile website and our customer support team. The end responsibility to get all the information accurate and to carry all the documents needed remains solely on you.

For other Terms of bookings and Services availed on FareObuddy, you are required to read all the Terms mentioned here carefully. In case you make a flight booking with us, you must make sure that you have gone through the terms of the airlines on their website. Also, ensure that you abide by all of their terms and conditions. The airfare that you book can only be guaranteed after you make a purchase and complete the transaction. Post this process, we will issue a ticket provided to us by the supplier. Sometimes the airline may change their prices without informing us and these changes are not dependent on us. We as a travel agency have the right to cancel the booking if we do not receive your payment by the date of allocation. If your flight itinerary has more than one airline supplier then you must go through the terms and conditions of both the airlines. These terms are easily accessible on the airline's website. Every airline has a different set of rules and restrictions on their fee and charges. So if your flight is affected due to a change (canceled or rescheduled) that the airline made which further results in a change to your other flight, you are the person responsible for the same. In such a scenario, you will have to bear the cost of the fees or buy new tickets for the unaffected flight. Usually, the airline charges a fee for making a change, refund, or exchange, and that cost is borne by you. You are required to comply with the terms of your airline and all the rules differ from airline to airline. You must carry your outbound and return tickets with the confirmation mail with you at all times during your travel. The airline authorities may ask you to show proof of your return tickets at the time of check-in. FareObuddy recommends that you book a combination of two one-way tickets instead of purchasing one round-trip.

We recommend this because when you book in a combination of two one-way tickets, we can offer you better flexibility and more choices of flights. These flights are usually cheaper if booked on different airlines as compared to the ones booked on the same airline. The terms of a combination of a one-way flight are different from the round-trip flight. The one-way flights are subject to their set terms and conditions. So if there is a change in your first flight leading to a delay in the other flight, as a customer you will be required to pay the applicable charges. In such a scenario, FareObuddy holds no responsibility for the same. The prices displayed on our website for low-cost carriers are converted from a different currency to USD. We do this for your convenience. Due to the conversion, you pay us an estimated (and not exact) value of the ticket purchased, and there might be an off-chance that the amount paid varies due to currency fluctuation. When you receive your e-tickets, you might have to bear an additional fee on your credit card as a transaction fee for paying in a different currency and country. When you make an international purchase, there are applicable taxes by levied by your bank.

FareObuddy Terms & Conditions – Flights

International Travel(s)

During your international travel, the provisions of the Montreal Convention are applicable to the countries of departure and your destination. The Convention usually limits the liability of the airline supplier for death or any personal injury of the passengers. As a passenger, you must make sure that you have all the documents required to make an entry in the foreign land. These documents include passport, visa (business, tourist, or transit) and you are able to present these documents at any time when the government asks for it. When you want to enter a foreign land, there are several responsibilities that you must meet and we cannot be held responsible if you fail to accomplish them. You are required to go through all the prohibitions, warnings, and announcements that are issued by the government before you reach the destination country.

Visa and Passport

You must make sure that you consult the designated Embassy and confirm the visa and passport information prior to traveling. We may suggest the requirements but those might change at any time, so you must have the updated information from the Embassy before confirming your tickets with us. FareObuddy cannot be held responsible if you are not allowed to travel in the flight as you were unable to provide the required travel documents (eg., correct passport, visa, or any other predefined required documents.) The authorities, the airline, or the country (including transit) may ask for them at any point in time and you must present them. This includes any stop made by the aircraft even if you don't leave the airport premises.

Health

We advise you to check on the necessary vaccinations to travel to a particular country. These vaccines may change at any time, so you must keep a check on the updated information. You are required to consult the doctor before you depart to your destination country. You must make sure that you are adhering to all the health requirements and take the necessary vaccination, medication, and right medical procedure for your travel.

Disinfection

Most of the airlines have the authority and right to disinfect in case they perceive a doubt of threat to public health or the environment. The disinfectants used are approved by the WHO (World Health Organization) and the International Civil Aviation Organization and includes:
1. Spray aerosolized insecticide while the passengers are on the board.
2. Prior to passenger boarding, treat aircraft's surfaces with residual insecticide.

When FareObuddy books for a travel for you to an international destination, we don't represent the country or give any guarantee that that it is safe to travel to that part of the world or it involves no risks. We are not liable for any damage or loss that you may face as a result of traveling to that particular destination.

All the airlines have different policies for their baggage allowance, fee, and restrictions. FareObuddy tries its best to display the most current baggage allowance policy and follows the airline's website to extract the details but we cannot guarantee that the information is up to date. That's why we recommend that you must verify these details on the airline's website directly or call them before your scheduled departure. Also, the baggage fee is not included in the trip cost.

Baggage Protection Policy

  • The Baggage Protection service of FareObuddy is provided by Blue Ribbon Bags (BRB).
  • When you avail of the BRB Baggage Protection service, in the event of a misplaced or mishandled checked-in bag, they track it on your behalf.
  • Once your bag is located, they speed up the process and return your bag within 96 hours from the arrival time of your flight to the final destination.
  • The BRB baggage protection offers $1,000 per person if your checked bag is lost.
  • The reimbursement amount of up to $1,000 is made to your chosen mode of payment.

  • If you opt for BRB protection, you are not required to present the proof of details of the bag if it is misplaced or mishandled by the agency.

Check-In

There are different check-in rules followed by the different airline providers. You are required to verify the requirements of the check-in process before making a booking. FareObuddy advises that you follow the given check-in schedule:

For a domestic flight, a minimum of 90 minutes before scheduled departure
For an international flight, a minimum of 3 hours scheduled departure.

Airline Schedule Change

Sometimes there are changes in the flight schedule that occur due to reasons like bad weather, mechanical or crew issues, or civil unrest. This includes a change to the original flight from a direct one to a one-stop or a connecting itinerary. In such scenarios, the changes are initiated by the airline directly, and FareObuddy holds no responsibility for the same.

If the schedule change includes a cancellation, then we will notify our customers by calling them and sending across an email that will assist you with other options and choose one depending upon the airlines' guidelines. In some cases, the airline does not inform us of the changes or the cancellation in advance. For the same reason, you must reach out to the airline's customer service team to confirm your flight schedule. You must make this call at least 72-hours before the departure time and this will protect you against a missed flight.

In case of a schedule change, the airline helps you with the available recourse, and it is their final authority to provide an alternative flight option. Once you check-in for your flight, it is the airline's responsibility to handle your booking. So, in case of any cancellations, delays, change of schedule, or rebooking of your flight is done by the airline. In such cases, we can only guide you with the procedure; final recourse is taken by the airline. In case you do not have an update of the change in schedule, or cancellation 24-hour before the time of departure, you or you have already reached the airport, we advise you coordinate with the airline staff and get to know more about your available options. During such a time, the airline is your best source of information and will deliver the best advice to you. In incidents like bad weather, you have limited options.

Overbooking of Flights

There are situations under which a flight might be overbooked. In cases like this, different airlines have different rules. You can read about these under the airline's contract of carriage.

FAREOBUDDY TERMS & CONDITIONS – HOLIDAY PACKAGES

GENERAL INFORMATION

FareObuddy's Holiday Package Terms & Conditions are subject to change at any time and without prior notice. Any revised terms and conditions for the FareObuddy Holiday Package will take effect on the date they are published on this website. Any previously published and incompatible relevant policies and Terms and conditions for any specific travel product included in the Holiday Package will be superseded by the updated Terms and Conditions, including, but not limited to, change and cancellation, as stated below. In any region, the terms and conditions for Holiday Packages, flight reservations, hotels, car rentals, and activities and services will all complement one another.

As stated in the Terms & Conditions, your booking is also subject to the particular terms and conditions of the relevant Travel Service Provider. These can usually be available on the service provider's own website. Wherever possible, we will provide you with a link to these conditions during the checkout step of your booking.

FareObuddy is not liable for any errors or inaccuracies on the website or for the performance of any third parties (Travel Service Providers), including but not limited to airlines, hotels, cruise lines, railroads, car rental companies, tour operators, consolidators, Holiday Packages, activity service providers, travel assistance service providers, and insurance companies, from whom you purchase services through this website.

FareObuddy provides travel management services without making any guarantees or representations about the goods or services provided by external service providers, their financial standing, or their ability to compensate you for any losses incurred as a result of those service providers' financial condition.

FareObuddy does not endorse, guarantee, or insure the goods or services provided by an external service provider, their economic status, or their commitment to reimburse you for any damages incurred as a result of that service provider's financial condition while providing travel management services. We will not be held accountable for the actions of travel service providers, including but not limited to airlines, hotels, cruise lines, tour operators, railroads, car rental companies, trip consolidators, Holiday Packages, activity providers, travel assistance service providers, and insurance providers, from whom you may buy services through this website.

PRICING, TAXES/FEES & PAYMENTS

Prices and availability are only valid when purchasing the entire Holiday Package; they do not apply to individual components. Due to contractual restrictions, FareObuddy is unable to provide you with an in-depth breakdown of the pricing for every component in your Holiday Package booking. FareObuddy imposes service fees of $50 per passenger, per ticket for flight bookings, $40 per room, per night for hotel bookings, and up to $40 for vehicle rental bookings on new reservations.

The prices shown include all taxes and fees for the Holiday Package, including airfare, hotel, vehicle hire, and activities. However, you may be liable to pay any applicable service surcharges, as well as any additional fuel, security, baggage, seat reservation, incidental accommodation, and other expenses. You are solely liable for any additional fees imposed by the travel service provider; if you have any queries regarding these surcharges, please contact them immediately. In addition, depending on where you are traveling, the government may impose entry/exit taxes, paying which is also the sole responsibility of the traveler.

The prices are exempt from drop-off fees, gas, kid safety seats, sky racks, personal effects protection, liability insurance, collision damage waiver, or incidental hotel room charges. All of these fees must be paid at the hotel's check-in desk or the location where the car rental is picked up.

Payment with a valid credit card is required in full at the time of booking. FareObuddy accepts all major credit cards, as long as the billing address is verified as being in the United States or Canada. You authorize FareObuddy and its approved third-party partners to charge your credit card for the entire cost of the Holiday Package you have reserved.

Travel service providers ask that you produce a valid credit card when checking into a hotel or at the location where the rental car company will pick you up. This is to verify that the approved card usage occurs and/or to secure any excess charges that may be levied as per their individual component policy. In most cases, the traveler listed on the booking must be the cardholder. Additionally, certain travel service providers may not accept debit cards. Before you arrive, confirm with the travel service provider.

SELF-TRANSFER PACKAGE

If your flight ticket contains our "Self-transfer Package", the terms and conditions may still apply. You agree to comply with those terms and conditions by purchasing an airline ticket that includes our "Self-transfer Package". It is critical that you read them carefully since they specify what the guarantee covers and what you must do to benefit from it.

Before purchasing a flight ticket that includes our "Self-transfer Package," be sure that the time available to transfer/make your connecting flight is sufficient for your specific needs. If you are unsure whether your flight ticket includes our "Self-transfer Package", please contact our customer service experts as soon as possible.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Purchasing travel insurance is highly recommended by FareObuddy as it may help cover some change and cancellation fees. Your insurance coverage may need to be modified if your holiday plans change. Please get in touch with the travel insurance provider if your plans alter to ensure that the coverage provided by your policy is adequate. For more information contact the FareObuddy customer support representative by mailing at support@fareobuddy.com.

FAREOBUDDY BOOKING PROCESS TERMS & CONDITIONS

The following definitions apply to terms that we use in these Terms & Conditions for your convenience:

"Service Element" is a single item or service that is available for Booking on the website without needing to be booked in conjunction with any other services. (For instance: vehicle, lodging, or airfare).

"Travel Supplier" is a company that offers one or more services. (e.g.: lodging, automobile dealers, airlines). Instead of acting as principal, FareObuddy arranges for the above-described Service Elements with third-party vendors, Travel Suppliers.

"Booking" refers to the process of negotiating one or more Service Elements with the Travel Supplier that you do while using this Site. When we accept your offer and receive full payment, the negotiation process with the Travel Supplier may result in a contract.

The following actions are taken to guarantee the validity of a Booking in order to complete it:

We are extending an invitation to you to submit an offer for the purchase of Service Elements when we list them on our site. This offer is not made until you click "Book" on the Site's "Review Trip Details and Book" payment page.

When you do this, you are essentially making FareObuddy an irrevocable offer to buy the relevant Service Element(s) from the relevant Travel Supplier(s) (your "Booking"). At our sole discretion, we may choose to accept your offer on behalf of the applicable Travel Supplier or reject it.

The email confirmation from FareObuddy only serves as an acknowledgement that we have received your offer; it does not constitute a contractual acceptance of the Booking. The availability of the relevant Service Element(s) must be confirmed.

Your Booking will be processed if the applicable Service Element is available. Once full payment has been received, the relevant Booking contract is formed.

The only Service Elements that are covered by the contract between you and the applicable Travel Supplier are those that have been confirmed via email, including reservation numbers for hotels, cars, or activities, or ticket numbers in the case of flights.

Until a contract between you and the Travel Supplier is formed, a ticket is issued, or a reservation is made and confirmed by the Travel Supplier, the terms of your Booking (including price, availability, and/or dates of travel) are not guaranteed. Please be mindful that once the Booking process is complete, we reserve the right to cancel or modify any component of your Booking, including names or destinations, at our sole discretion and in compliance with these terms and conditions.

The following Terms & Conditions for each of our individual Service Elements will apply to these Booking processes. Any topics not addressed during the Booking process are supplemented by the terms and conditions for the airline ticket, hotel, car rental, attractions, and services. We reserve the right to modify the Booking process at any time. Changes automatically take effect from the date such changes are posted on the Site

A valid government-issued photo ID is required for security checks at airports, hotels, and car rental locations at all times during your trip. The relevant Travel Suppliers may also require this ID for verification and other products or services you obtain during Booking.

For international travel, in addition to the previously mentioned government-issued identification, a passport serving as proof of citizenship is necessary (for most countries outside of the United States). Please be aware that you alone are responsible for making sure you meet the requirements for a passport, visa, and/or health insurance in the countries you plan to visit and those you pass through (even if it's just a quick flight change). A lot of countries mandate that your passport be valid for at least a certain amount of time after the date of entry. You should get in touch with the relevant local consulate of the countries you are visiting if you have any questions about the applicable minimum period, other requirements, or passport/visa requirements.

If any of the aforementioned conditions are not met, you will not be entitled to any refunds and neither FareObuddy nor its affiliates will take responsibility for your denial of boarding, delay, or deportation.

  • Depending on where you are going, there might be government entry or exit fees.
  • These will be extra to your Booking fees and are your sole responsibility.

If you have more than one passenger on your reservation, they must all travel the same route. You cannot change the number of passengers in your reservation.

If a pricing error occurs, FareObuddy will make the necessary corrections and, if applicable, will give you the choice to either cancel the Booking or let FareObuddy charge your credit or debit card an amount equal to the price increase before you leave.

  • The relevant Travel Supplier provides each Service Element that is mentioned in your Booking.
  • You may or may not be able to use frequent traveler points and/or miles toward any part of your reservation. You need to confirm this with the appropriate Travel Supplier.

You are unable to transfer or amend the name(s) or destination(s) specified in your Booking once it has been made.

Unless there are extraordinary circumstances, your Booking will be fulfilled on the delivery date specified in your email containing ticket information, or on the date the ticket is issued if no delivery date is specified.

The conditions of each airline's contract of carriage are incorporated herein by reference. The contract of carriage in its entirety is available for inspection by passengers at the ticket offices located at each airline's airport or city. The full text of the contract of carriage may be obtained by passengers at no cost through mail or other delivery service upon request to the airlines.

The following may be included in the incorporated terms of the contract of carriage:

(1) limitations on the airline's liability for passenger personal injury or death; and

(2) restrictions on the time within which passengers may file a claim or initiate legal action against the airline for its acts or omissions or those of its agents; and

(3) limitations on the airline's liability for loss, damage, or delay of goods and baggage, including fragile or perishable goods;

(4) The airline's right to amend the terms of the agreement;

(5) Regulations pertaining to reservation reconfirmation, check-in times, and refusals to carry;

(6) The airline's rights and limitations with regard to non-performance or delays in providing services, including rerouting, schedule changes, and the replacement of another airline or aircraft.

Pricing, Taxes/Fees, and Payment:

Except as specified in your ticket information email or these Terms & Conditions, our total prices include all taxes and fees that apply to travel, lodging, car rentals, and activities that are part of your Booking. The relevant Travel Supplier will impose additional fuel surcharges, security fees, baggage fees, seat reservation costs, hotel incidentals, and other applicable service fees at the time of check-in. For any such additional costs payable to the Travel Supplier, you are solely accountable. Should you have any inquiries regarding these fees, kindly get in touch with the relevant Travel Supplier directly.

Liability insurance, collision damage waiver, personal accident insurance, personal effects protection, drop-off fees, gas, child safety seats, sky racks, and incidental hotel room charges (phone, movies, energy surcharges, and any applicable tax increases) are not included in the prices quoted for the service element(s). All of these fees have to be paid at the time of rental car pickup or at the hotel check-in desk.

The listed prices do not cover any additional fuel surcharges for flights or other surcharges that may be imposed periodically by the relevant Travel Supplier or authorities; these surcharges are your responsibility to pay.

At the time of Booking, full payment with a working credit or debit card is required. All major credit and debit cards that have a confirmed billing address are accepted by FareObuddy.

By using this form, you give FareObuddy and its approved third-party permission to charge the full value of your Booking to the credit or debit card you give us.

  • We might get in touch with you before your trip to finish your payment for the itinerary you selected and/or the tickets you were given.
  • We will get in touch with you using the contact information you gave us.
  • We retain the right to cancel your reservation if we are unable to get in contact with you or if your payment is not received before your scheduled departure date.

The applicable Travel Supplier(s) may require you to provide a valid credit or debit card during check-in at the hotel and/or at the automobile rental company's pick-up location to provide confirmation of permitted card usage and/or to secure any additional charges. The cardholder must be one of the travelers specified on your Booking.

All offers, prices, and terms of the Booking may be subject to:

  • Change without notice;
  • Prior purchase, eligibility, seating, or other restrictions;
  • Restrictions on travel days, dates, minimum or maximum stays, holidays, seasons, blackout periods, stopovers, and waitlisting;
  • Reservation validity limitations of up to one year (any extension may result in penalties or restrictions).
  • Additional requirements or limits; and

If your itinerary includes an ultimate destination or stops in a country other than the one from which you depart, the provisions of a treaty known as the "Warsaw Convention" may apply to your whole trip, including any portion completely within the country of origin or destination. The Warsaw Convention governs and may limit certain air carriers' responsibility for passenger deaths or personal injuries, as well as baggage loss or damage.

A reservation is not complete until it is confirmed or ticketed. To protect our clients, we confirm with the credit/debit card issuer that the billing address and credit card verification number you supplied us are correct, and that your debit/charge will be approved. Until such information is verified, the fare may vary.

We are not liable for any transactions that are declined due to a credit/debit card that is declined by the issuing company or a Travel Supplier, or if the debit/credit card billing address and/or credit card verification number cannot be verified in a timely manner, nor are we liable for any fare changes or other charges that may occur during our verification process.
