constitute a danger to themselves or to others on the trip,
subject only to the requirement that the portion of the total
amount paid which corresponds to the unused services and
accommodations be refunded. Passengers requiring special
assistance, including without limitation those who permanently or periodically use a wheelchair, must be accompanied by someone who is fit and able to assist them, and who
will be totally responsible for providing all required assistance.
AIR TRANSPORTATION-The price of air transportation

you will be charged the higher, all year Economy class fare.

risk throughout the travel program.
AUTHORITY TO USE IMAGES AND AUDIO
RECORDINGS - On occasion, AHI Travel obtains, from its
staff, or from trip participants, photographic or video

changes, with or without notice, that might become necessary, with the mutual understanding that any additional
expenses will be paid by the individual passenger. Baggage

at all times. If the entire program is cancelled for any reason, participants shall have no claim other than for a full
refund. By forwarding the deposit, the passenger certifies
that he/she has no physical, mental or other condition of
disability that would create a hazard for himself/herself or
other passengers and accepts the terms of this contract set
out herein and in more specific pre-departure passenger
information. The airlines and other transportation companies concerned are not to be held responsible for any act,
omission, or event, during the time passengers are not on

NEW ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY-The AHI Travel
Passenger Protection Plan now offers a low-cost Any
Reason Cancellation feature. Book worry free!
NOT INCLUDED-Fees for passports and, if applicable,
visas, entry/departure fees; personal gratuities; laundry and
dry cleaning; excursions, wines, liquors, mineral waters and
meals not mentioned in this brochure under included features; travel insurance; all items of a strictly personal
nature.
MOBILITY AND FITNESS TO TRAVEL-The right is
retained to decline to accept or to retain any person as a
member of this trip who, in the opinion of AHI Travel is
unfit for travel or whose physical or mental condition may
constitute a danger to themselves or to others on the trip,
subject only to the requirement that the portion of the total
amount paid which corresponds to the unused services and
accommodations be refunded. Passengers requiring special
assistance, including without limitation those who permanently or periodically use a wheelchair, must be accompanied by someone who is fit and able to assist them, and who
will be totally responsible for providing all required assistance.
AIR TRANSPORTATION-The price of air transportation
offered by AHI Travel is based on Advance Purchase
Excursion fares. After tickets are issued, penalties up to
100% of the ticket price may be levied. If connecting flights
are requested, special promotional fares may be used, in
which case penalties of as much as 100% may be assessed
by the airlines if reservations are changed or canceled after
ticketing. After departure, if the reservations are changed,
you will be charged the higher, all year Economy class fare.
VARIATIONS TO THE GROUP ITINERARY MUST BE
REQUESTED NO LATER THAN 60 DAYS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE. Passengers who choose to make their own airline
reservations independently will be wholly responsible for
any airline fees or penalties incurred as a result of program
cancellation and/or change in travel dates, or airline schedule(s).
CANCELLATION-In addition to airline cancellation
penalties, all cancellations for any reason whatsoever will
be subject to a $250 per person cancellation fee.
Cancellation from 120 days to 76 days prior to departure
will result in forfeiture of 10% of the entire cost of the trip
per person; 75 days to 30 days, 50% of the trip cost per person; cancellation from 29 days up to the time of departure
will result in 100% forfeiture of the entire cost of the trip.
TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE IS AVAILABLE. AN APPLICATION WILL BE SENT AFTER YOU RESERVE. All cancellations must be submitted in writing to AHI International
Corporation.
BAGGAGE-Baggage restrictions vary according to the airline policy and the class of service flown. Details will be provided with your pre-departure information. Baggage
allowances are subject to change by the carrier without
notice. Excess baggage charges for additional or
oversized/overweight pieces are expensive and not included
in your trip price; plan your wardrobe accordingly.
Transport of baggage and personal effects is at the owner's
risk throughout the travel program.

at all times. If the entire program is cancelled for any reason, participants shall have no claim other than for a full
refund. By forwarding the deposit, the passenger certifies
that he/she has no physical, mental or other condition of
disability that would create a hazard for himself/herself or
other passengers and accepts the terms of this contract set
out herein and in more specific pre-departure passenger
information. The airlines and other transportation companies concerned are not to be held responsible for any act,
omission, or event, during the time passengers are not on
board their conveyances. The passage contract in use, when
