Reservations postmarked after December 15, 1997 must add $30 to published prices ($20 for Florida packages). Package prices are based on current rates at the time of printing, October 1, 1997, and are subject to change without notice due to fuel related increases, changes in government taxes, etc..

DEPARTURE TAXES AND FEES: Charter flights: All foreign and domestic departure taxes and handling fees (Currently $66) are due with final payment. In the event that any portion cannot be pre-paid, tour participant must pay that amount upon check-in and a refund will be issued following the tour. Commercial flights: U.S. departure taxes and fees are due with final payment, foreign departure taxes are payable upon departure by tour participant.

RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENTS:
Tour Participant: To make a reservation, fill out and sign the tour participant agreement above, and make a $100 per person ($50 for Florida) non-refundable deposit payable to All Around Travel.  Mail your deposit to All Around Travel.

FINAL PAYMENT is due 45 days before departure. Payment in full must accompany any application received less than 45 days before departure. Checks and money orders for all charter programs should be made payable to All Around Travel. Upon receipt of deposit, STS will send confirmation/invoice to travel Agent, student organization or tour participants (whichever applies). Receipt of deposit by STS constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions. There is a $50 service charge for all checks returned to STS for insufficient funds or stop payment.

LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS: Reservations will be accepted up to departure provided space is available and payment has been received in our office. Late reservations must be accompanied by full payment, and be in the form of Credit Card, cashier's check, or money order. No personal checks will be accepted for late bookings.

FINAL TRIP DOCUMENTS: Final trip documents will be mailed to travel Agent, student organization or tour participants (whichever applies) 5-10 days prior to departure. Documents will not be released until full payment has been received. Documents delayed due to late payment will be subject to a special handling fee of $20.

CREDIT CARD/WIRE TRANSFER PAYMENTS: All prices listed in this web site are based on payment via check or money order. All other forms of payment, such as credit cards and wire transfers, must add $25 per person to all prices.
All credit card payments must be accompanied by a signed Universal Credit Card form.

CANCELLATIONS: ALL PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY STS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, unless you are able to find a replacement, at which time a full refund less a $25 per person administrative fee and any airline-imposed fees will be issued. If your roommate(s) cancels, you and your remaining roommate(s) must pay applicable occupancy surcharges prior to departure.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Optional trip insurance is strongly recommended (see brochure for details). Travel insurance will automatically be added to all trip invoices. You may decline the policy by indicating so on your final payment voucher and by not including the payment with your final payment.

CHANGING YOUR RESERVATIONS: There is a $25 per person fee (plus any airline-imposed fees) for changing your reservation in any way once deposit has been received by STS. Adding passengers to an existing reservation will not be considered a change.

ROOMMATE MATCHING SERVICE: STS will attempt to match singles, doubles, and triples who desire to pay the lower quad rate, but STS cannot guarantee a match. If STS cannot match you, you will be responsible for paying occupancy surcharges. Please call STS and speak to a representative if you need to request this service.

BAGGAGE: The air carrier allows each passenger to bring on the flight 44 lbs. of luggage. You are, however, only allowed to put 2 bags through check-in services. For international flights, the liability is limited to $400.00 per passenger for checked and unchecked baggage. We suggest that valuables such as jewelry, cameras, and money NOT be stored in checked baggage.

SECURITY AGREEMENT: All payments received by STS for travel services such as this are protected in part by a Surety Trust Agreement by and between First of America Bank-Michigan, N.A. ("Bank") and STS in favor of the U.S. Government. Claims should be filed directly with STS and Bank or if STS is unavailable, with Bank, Attn. Trust Financial Services Division, Travel Industry Services Manager, 1001 South Worth, Birmingham, MI 48009-6943, within 60 days after completion of the trip. Otherwise, the Bank and STS shall be released from all liability to you.

DOCUMENTATION AND LETTER OF CONSENT: U.S. Citizens are required to carry proper documentation of U.S. citizenship (i.e. a valid U.S. passport, original or notarized copy of birth certificate in conjunction with a valid picture I.D., or naturalization papers, a notarized affidavit of citizenship). Foreign nationals must consult their local consulates for documentation requirements. Travelers under 18 years of age must carry a notarized letter of consent signed by BOTH parents or legal guardian for travel to Mexico. It is the sole responsibility of the tour participant to obtain proper citizenship documentation. No refunds will be issued for passengers who are denied boarding for failure to obtain proper citizenship documentation or who fail to bring letter of consent.

UNUSED TOUR SERVICES: No refund will be issued for unused accommodations, flights, or tour services if the tour participant leaves the tour for any reason.

SECURITY DEPOSIT: Hotels may require up to a $100 per person security deposit upon check-in. This will be refunded upon checkout provided that there is no damage to your room. All Florida tour participants must include $25 per person security deposit with final payment. This deposit less $2.00 per person (housekeeping fee) will be mailed to travel agent, student organization or tour participant within six weeks of tour completion.

AIRCRAFT, FLIGHT SCHEDULES, AND DELAYS: Public charter air services are provided by Miami Air Int'l, Express One, Nordic East, World Airways, Allegro Airlines, Northwest Airlines, North American, Sun Country, Rich Int'l, Carnival Airlines, or American Trans Air. Public charters are operated by STS, KeyTours, WCV, Apple Vacations, GWV, TNT, Funjet, Vacation Express, and HMHF. Scheduled air services are provided by Air Jamaica, American, Continental, USAir, Northwest, TWA, Delta, and Southwest. STS reserve the right to substitute any duly-licensed air carrier and/or to change aircraft type, routing and do not guarantee single plane or non-stop service.
Charter Flight Delays: Flight delays are unfortunate, but are an inherent risk in air travel. Flight delays, missed nights accommodations and expenses incurred due to flight delays, and missed connections to/from charter flights are beyond the control and responsibility of STS. In the event of a charter delay, in addition to DOT regulated compensation, STS subscribes to the following passenger compensation* guidelines:
Outbound/return total delay of less than 12 hours.......................................................No compensation
Outbound/return total delay between 12 and 24 hours..........$30 per person credit on future trip
Outbound/return total delay of greater than 24 hours..........$50 per person credit on future trip
*This charter compensation schedule is non-transferable, valid for one year, and does not apply to weather-related, air traffic control, or security related delays, or to passengers who do not travel.
Flight Schedules/Changes: Flight times are not guaranteed and may affect actual length of time in vacation destination on travel days. Any flight information provided prior to departure is considered tentative and is subject to change in accordance with operator's option plan. THEREFORE, IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TOUR PARTICIPANT TO RECONFIRM BOTH OUTBOUND AND RETURN FLIGHTS.

OPERATOR CANCELLATION: If STS must cancel the charter: STS will notify you in writing within 7 days of the cancellation, but in no event later than 10 days before the scheduled departure. In the event of complete cancellation, Student Travel Services' only liability will be to refund, within 14 days, all monies paid. STS as charter operator may not cancel the charter less than 10 days before the scheduled departure date, except for circumstances that make it physically impossible to perform the charter trip. For international flights only: additional restrictions may be imposed on flights by foreign governments involved, and that if landing rights are denied by a foreign government, the flight will be canceled with a full refund to the participant.

MAJOR CHANGE: In accordance with Part 380 of the DOT's Special Regulations, the applicable major changes are as follows: (1) a change in departure or return dates of more than 48 hours (unless the change results from a flight delay experienced by the carrier), (2) a change in origin or destination city for any flight leg other than a change in the order in which cities are visited, (3) a substitution of any hotel that is not named in the operator-participant contract; and (4) a price increase of more than 10% occurring more than 10 days prior to departure. If STS becomes aware of a major change 10 or more days prior to departure, STS will notify tour participants within 7 days of first knowing of such a change. If STS should become aware of a change within 10 days of departure, it will notify tour participants as soon as possible. Upon receiving notification of a major change, tour participant may cancel in writing within seven days, but in no event later than departure, and receive a full refund within 14 days of canceling. If STS gives tour participant notice of change after departure, the participant may decline to accept the change and be sent a refund for the portion of his or her payments allocated to the hotel accommodations or transportation not provided within 14 days after scheduled return date. In either case, STS shall have no further liability.

RESPONSIBILITY: STS, as a tour operator, and its agents act solely as agents in arranging transportation and accommodations offered in this travel package and therefore, in absence of negligence on its part, the tour operator is not responsible for any act, omission, injury to person or property, loss, inconvenience, accident, delay, irregularity, negligence or default of any company, hotel, carrier company and/or their employees, servants or subcontractors providing any services, accommodations, or facilities in connection with this travel package. STS will not be responsible for (1) overbookings by hotels, (2) missed connections to or from charter flights, (3) failure to follow instructions, including, but not limited to, check-in and check-out times and baggage handling.
