FORCE MAJEURE

Except where otherwise expressly stated in the airline’s booking conditions the airline will not be liable or pay compensation if their contractual obligations to you are affected by any event which they or their supplier of the service in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid.  These events can include, but are not limited to war, threat of war, civil strife, terrorist activity and its consequences or the threat of such activity, riot, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster and adverse weather, sea, ice and river conditions and all similar events outside the airlines or their suppliers control.  Advice from the Foreign Office to avoid or leave a particular country may constitute force majeure.

CONDITIONS OF OTHER SUPPLIERS

Many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers.  For example, these suppliers may provide ground arrangements/transfers/theme park tickets/excursions etc.,  Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions which will form part of your contract with us.  Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable international conventions.  Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are clearly displayed on the relevant documentation you will be provided with and are also available on request from the supplier concerned.

Where Package Holidays are offered for sale these are supplied by leading Irish Tour Operators for an inclusive price. These arrangements will typically include transportation (usually schedule or charter flights on fixed departure dates and for a fixed duration), accommodation, transfers and representative services in resort for an inclusive price. Package holidays are protected under the Tour Operator’s own IAA Licence. We act as agents for licensed tour operators. 2) Flight only and or individual travel arrangements Flight and hotel arrangements generally offer much greater flexibility than Package Holidays giving the traveller the opportunity to choose from a vast array of flights for a range of durations. To these arrangements can be added accommodation, car hire, transfers, and travel insurance as required. Each booking is a separate and distinct booking and our bookings, even though they may be linked to the same dates of travel do not constitute a package holiday. All bookings are purchased individually at their own individual price. The total price for several bookings is the sum of the price charged for each individual booking, which will include Cassidy Travel’s commission. Charter flights – all charter flights available on this website are fully protected via the scheme operated by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). Refunds are provided by IAA, if applicable, directly to you. All of these arrangements clearly carry the message on the acknowledgement and confirmation pages and on the confirmation email you receive. 

All flight, hotel and car rental prices are subject to availability and offers may be withdrawn or amended at any time without prior notification. Linevana Ltd., trading as Cassidy Travel accepts no liability should any such offer be withdrawn or amended. In some instances, online check-in may not be available when flights are booked with various airlines. You will be required to check in at the desk at your departure airport on the day of travel.  

AIRLINE CODESHARES 

Many airlines operate on a code-share basis with their commercial partners. This means that a flight can be operated on one carrier’s behalf by a partner airline and quite possibly more than one flight number. This is common practice with the majority of carriers. The codeshare agreement may result in a different partner airline flying the route or portion of the route with a different aircraft seat configuration. 

E-TICKETS 

Most airlines offer only electronic confirmation of your reservation, or “e-ticketing” on certain routes. We cannot be held responsible if your e-ticket does not arrive due to an incorrect email address or your spam/junk email settings. You can ensure your e-tickets get to you by adding Cassidy Travel to your “safe site” list. You must notify us immediately if you change your e-mail address or contact telephone number after making a booking with Cassidy Travel. In addition, please check that the name on your passport matches the name on your ticket and/or booking confirmation. It is your responsibility to advise us if you have not received your e-ticket confirmation or if there are any issues with names etc., 

FLYING TIMES 

In your itinerary from www.cassidytravel.ie flight times are given for guidance only. All departure/arrival times on your flight ticket are provided by the airlines concerned and are estimates only and are subject to change, even at short notice. They may change due to air traffic control restrictions, weather conditions, operational/maintenance requirements and the requirement for passengers to check in on time. We are not liable if there is any change to a departure/arrival time previously given to you or shown on your ticket or for any other alteration to your flight by the relevant airline. Also please note that where a sector of a flight itinerary is not utilized without contacting the carrier directly any remaining sectors may be subject to cancellation without further notification. Failure to utilize the outbound sector will, in most case, result in the forfeiture of the inbound flight. Where any of the above situations arise, we are unable to accept responsibility for any losses or costs incurred. It is for this reason that you are required to reconfirm your flights with the airline in accordance with the airline’s terms and conditions and applicable reconfirmation deadline. For all air travel it is your responsibility to check the departure and arrival times of your flight at time of travel. Please note airline flight timings are provided on the 24-hour clock. We are unable to make any special arrangements for you if you are delayed as these matters are at the sole discretion of the airline concerned and their handling agents at the relevant airports. Please note that the times shown on your ticket or itinerary are the departure times of the flight. Check-in times, as advised by the carrier or in the airline’s timetable are the latest times at which passengers can be accepted for travel. Allowing the necessary time to compete all formalities. Flights cannot be held up for passengers arriving late and no responsibility can be accepted by us or the airline in such cases. 

SEAT REQUESTS 

We have no control over the airlines’ allocation of seats and so, if you have a particular seat request, you purchase your required preference at the time of booking your flights or alternatively you should check-in at the airport as early as possible if you do not wish to pre-book your seat. There is a charge involved for all pre-bookable seats and these charges vary depending on the seat allocation. We cannot guarantee that any requests will be met. 

DIRECT FLIGHTS 

Please note that a flight described on your flight ticket as “direct” will not necessarily be non-stop. A flight that is described as direct is one where there is no need to change aircraft during the journey. 

PREGNANCY AND CHILDREN 

Please note that most airlines refuse to carry women who will be 28 weeks or more pregnant on the date of return travel. Please check with the airline concerned as their rules may vary and also consult your doctor. We recommend you carry a doctor’s note or certificate with you, which will ensure your due-date is verified. Infants must be six weeks old or more to travel by air and must either sit on an adult’s lap or occupy a seat. Please contact the airline you are travelling with for details of appropriate seats. Infants will be required to sit on an adult’s lap for take-off and landing irrespective of whether or not they occupy a seat. Children aged two or more must occupy a seat and please note if a child reaches the age of two prior to the return date of travel, a full child seat must be purchased. As indicated above a child must be under two years of age on the date of their return fight to be entitled to the infant fare level which is usually 10% of the International Air Transport Association’s (or IATA’s) published fare. Airlines regard those aged 0-23 months for the entire travel period as infants, and those ages 2-11 years for the entire travel period as children. Any other person is required to pay the adult fare. 

GOVERNMENT IMPOSED TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES

The price of your flight may include taxes, fees and charges, which are imposed on air transportation by government authorities. They may represent a significant portion of the cost of air travel and are either included in the fare or shown separately on your ticket. You may also be required to pay taxes or fees or other charges not already collected, for example, it is not always possible to include all departure taxes on your ticket(s). In some cases departure taxes must be paid direct by you locally to the Government of the country you are departing from and are therefore non-refundable by us. Please note some departure taxes are collected in cash in certain countries and it is therefore advisable to check this before travel as this information changes from time to time.

Security at some events or venues may be strict (for example baggage checks and screening).  You will need to ensure, therefore, that you allow sufficient time to go through the event and venue security arrangements.

Terms and Conditions of the Event Organiser

If you book a ticket to an event with us, the event and the ticket are both provided/operated by independent suppliers.  Those suppliers provide the events and the tickets to the events in accordance with their own terms and conditions which will form part of your contract with us.  Those terms and conditions will be applicable for the ticket/event in question.  Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you or impose restrictions, rules and requirements that you must meet.  Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available either on/alongside your ticket or on request from us or the supplier concerned.  These terms and conditions may contain important information which you must read carefully.

PLEASE NOTE THAT SOMETIMES MATCH/EVENT TICKETS ARE NOT ISSUED UNTIL 48/24 HOURS PRIOR TO THE FIXTURE AND THIS IS SOMETHING WHICH IS TOTALLY OUTSIDE OF THE CONTROL OF CASSIDY TRAVEL.  THIS IS IN ORDER TO PREVENT TICKET TOUTING.

Transfer and Re-sale of Tickets

The tickets that we issue to you as part of your package are at all times subject to the terms and conditions of the event organizer.  Often, the re-sale of such tickets is strictly prohibited.

SPECIAL EVENT / SPORT BOOKINGS SEE BELOW:

Please note that sporting and special events may be subject to different payment terms than would normally apply to a standard booking.  The payment terms will be communicated to you at the time of booking and any additional information specific to the type of event you are booking with us.

Please be advised that golfing events will be subject to similar terms of payment, and cancellation policies will apply. It is recommended that all parties involved in such events review and acknowledge the terms and conditions set forth to ensure full compliance. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

PLEASE NOTE:

Where a weekend fixture is rescheduled for any reason whatsoever to a different kick-off time on the same weekend, we will offer you the option to change the night of your accommodation booking to coincide with the fixture change, subject to availability with no amendment fees.  Where a midweek (Monday-Friday) fixture is rescheduled for any reason whatsoever to a different time within 36 hours of the previously confirmed start time then we will offer you the option to change the night of your accommodation booking to coincide with the fixture change, subject to availability with no amendment fees.  If the price of the new arrangement is higher, this must be paid by you.  If the price of the new arrangement is lower, we will refund you the difference in price.  Please note that this change does not constitute a significant change and no refund will be payable if you cancel your arrangement.

Each booking is a separate and distinct booking and your bookings, even though they may be linked to the same dates of travel do not constitute a package holiday.  All bookings are purchased individually at their own individual price. The total price for several bookings is the sum of the price charged for each individual booking which will include Cassidy Travel’s commission.

You are authorizing Cassidy Travel to act as your agent and we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the provider (travel provider) of the travel related service, including among others, Tour Operators, airlines, hotels, insurance companies, cruise companies, car hire and transfer companies.  You are bound by the travel provider’s terms and conditions of booking, and these are available on request.  If your booking is with the airline, you are the principal and you are authorizing Cassidy Travel to act as your agent in arranging that booking.  With all other Travel Providers we are acting as your agent in arranging your booking and the Travel Provider is the principal or the agent to the principal.

1. The Contract

No contract shall arise between you and the Travel Provider until Cassidy Travel 

• Has confirmed the booking with the Travel Provider on your behalf.
• Has received your authorization to book the travel arrangements as your agent.

2. Booking Details

It is your responsibility to check that all names, dates and timings are correct on receipt of confirmation of your booking and again upon receipt of your documentation and to advise Cassidy Travel of any errors immediately.  Please ensure that all names given are the same as per the relevant passport.  Any changes to these details will incur amendment fees.  Please note that where there is more than one person travelling in the booking, the person who makes the booking and accepts the booking conditions is responsible for all members of the party and for making payment to Cassidy Travel.  It is your responsibility to ensure that any information given to you by us or any of our employees or Travel providers is passed onto all members of your party.  You must provide contact details, details of the ages of adult/child and infant passengers.

3. Prices

All flight, hotel, transfers and car rental prices are subject to availability and offers may be withdrawn or amended at any time without prior notification.  Cassidy Travel accepts no liability should any such offer be withdrawn or amended.

Airfares are not guaranteed until tickets are confirmed and purchased.  All fares are subject to confirmation and change prior to ticket issue.  The booking classes to which the airfares are quoted are indicative and cannot be guaranteed by Cassidy Travel.

COVID-19 DISCLAIMER

Please note that the COVID-19 pandemic may still affect travel arrangements. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with restrictions and quarantine requirements in the country you are traveling to. Unfortunately Cassidy Travel cannot accept complaints for any lack of service or limitations due to the pandemic.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that includes pandemic coverage. Please read the terms and conditions of your policy carefully.

Cassidy Travel is not liable for any injury, loss, damage, or consequential damage of any kind arising from the use of this site or content.

The foregoing terms and conditions shall apply to both contract and negligence claims. Our liability to you in respect of international travel will be limited to the actual engaged liability (if any) of the operating carrier or transport company.

You agree that the operating carrier or transport company's own "conditions of carriage" will apply to you on that journey. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those "Conditions of Carriage" form part of your contract with us as well as the transport company and that those "Conditions of Carriage" shall be deemed to be included by reference into your contract.

10. Privacy

As a customer you consent to your data being processed for the purpose of booking your holiday.  In doing this, Linevana Ltd., trading as Cassidy Travel shares your information with relevant third-party suppliers (e.g. airlines, accommodation providers, transfer companies, car hire companies etc) to complete your booking.  Linevana Ltd., trading as Cassidy Travel is committed to protecting your privacy and information.  You can find out more about how we do this by reading our Privacy Policy which can be found on our website at cassidytravel.ie/privacy, or by requesting a copy by writing to us at our registered address which is 24/25, Lower Liffey Street, Dublin 2.  Alternatively, you may request a copy by calling us on 00 353 1 8735000.

11. Carrying Proof of Purchase

You should ensure that you travel with your booking confirmations, e-tickets and any other travel documentation (including your passport) at all times.  We will not be held liable for any supplier not providing you with the booked product or service if you do not produce such documentation.

12. Insurance and Cancellation of Insurance Policy

We cannot recommend strongly the importance of taking out travel insurance at the time you book your holiday.  Travel Insurance is necessary for your own protection and peace of mind.  Many travel providers require you to take out travel insurance as a condition of booking and please be aware that some airlines may not allow you to travel without insurance.  It is your responsibility to ensure that you purchase adequate travel insurance for your needs, and we will be happy to recommend a policy to you.  Please be aware of exclusion clauses and excesses in the insurance policy and always follow the advice of the DFA.  Most policies will cover you for flight delays, lost baggage, and illness and the cost of repatriation should this be necessary.  It is important to have adequate cover so please ensure you read the terms and conditions of the policy document and pay particular attention to pre-existing medical conditions which will have to be disclosed.

All insurance premiums are payable in full at the point of sale and are sold incorporating a 14-day cooling off period after which time some policies may be non-refundable.  The 14-day cooling off period applies if you have not travelled or made any claim under the insurance policy at the time of purchase.

13. ALTERATIONS AND CANCELLATIONS MADE BY US

Occasionally we may have to make changes to your booking.  Most of these changes will be minor and we will advise you of the change as soon as we are in a position to do so before your journey commences.  If there is significant change, which is not due to any event beyond our control, you will be offered the choice of an alternative comparable trip (if available) or a refund.  Please note that confirmed flights are not refundable.  If the reason for the significant change to the booking is due to an event beyond our control (as described below) we will not be liable to offer you any compensation.

Significant changes are normally regarded as:

1. A change in your departure airport
2. A change of more than 12 hours in your departure time from Ireland
3. A change in your resort area overseas; or
4. A change of accommodation to a lower classification that that which you have booked.

In the unlikely event that your booking has to be cancelled, a full refund will be made of all monies previously paid to us to the persons who originally paid for the booking.

Should your flight be cancelled, your rights and remedies will be governed by the airline’s terms and conditions of carriage.  As a result you may be entitled to (a) carriage on another flight with the same airline without additional costs (b) re-routing to your destination with another carrier without additional cost (c) receiving a full refund or (d) some other right or remedy.  Please note your rights and remedies under EC261/2004.

Passenger Travel Ages

When travelling on an arrangement including hotel accommodation, no person under the age of 18 years will be allowed to travel independently.  The exception is for Las Vegas where visitors are required to be 21 years old if unaccompanied.  The passenger’s age relates to the whole of the period when they are away including the day of return.

Infant Ages

Infants must be under 2 years old on the return date of travel.  If a child celebrates his or her 2^nd Birthday while on holiday you must book and pay the appropriate child fare.  Charges for infants vary depending on the route and length of the flight and will be advised in the booking process.  Infants are not entitled to their own seat and must travel on an adult’s lap.  I you require a seat for your infant to sit separately you will need to purchase a child’s ticket at the appropriate fare.  Infants do not always receive a personal baggage allowance as this varies from carrier to carrier.

Adult Fares

Children must be 2-11 years old on the return date of travel to qualify for an applicable child fare reduction.  Children aged 12 years and older pay the full fare and have their own seat and also have a full baggage allowance.

All prices quoted are stated in Euros and are based on tariffs and exchange rates current and appropriate at the time of publication.  If any of these vary the cost of the holiday may increase or decrease accordingly.  Any such increase/decrease must be paid by or refunded to the Consumer.  During the period of twenty-eight days prior to departure date, the price specified in the contract shall not be increased by Linevana Ltd., trading as Cassidy Travel.  The circumstances in which the price may be varied shall only be to allow for changes in:  (a) transport costs, including the cost of fuel, (b) duties, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports, or (c) the exchange rates which apply to the particular holiday.

CANCELLING YOUR BOOKING

To cancel your booking, written confirmation will be required.  This may be emailed to holidays@cassidytravel.ie  You will receive written confirmation back to advise we have received the email.  We will then contact the relevant suppliers to check what cancellation charges will apply.  These charges are all passed on from each supplier along with the administration fee of €35.00 Euro from Cassidy Travel.  Please note if you booked your holiday online you must contact holidays@cassidytravel.ie by email, alternatively you should contact the relevant travel shop where your holiday was booked.

HOLIDAY COMPLAINTS

Any complaints must be immediately brought to the attention of the relevant accommodation in resort, in order to try to resolve the problem there and then, in order to minimise any inconvenience.  If you fail to follow this procedure, we cannot be held responsible, as some Hotels/Properties will refuse to deal with any complaints, which have not been notified in resort.  The Hotel/Property must be given a reasonable opportunity to correct the situation from the outset.  You will also be provided with a telephone number for our supplier, and you should also notify them of your complaint.  In any event, you are still required to submit any complaint in writing to ourselves within 28 days of your return and we shall endeavor, through our supplier, to resolve the matter with the property management.  We regard it as unreasonable if you fail to deal with the matter whilst in resort and therefore if you fail to follow the above procedure, we will not regard ourselves liable for your failure to deal with the matter locally.

All post-holiday complaints must be in writing and addressed to the relevant travel shop manager care of the travel shop where the holiday was booked (https://www.cassidytravel.ie/store-locator/).  If your holiday was booked online, then you may address your complaint to customer services at customerservices@cassidytravel.ie
