Travelcheck reserves the right to cancel the remaining components of a Tour Package, or some of them, should the customer elect to cancel, under this Clause, one or more components of the purchase he executed. In such an event, the cancellation will be carried out free of charge for the customer, with respect to the components of the purchase which Travelcheck cancelled.
2.2 Cancelling a Booking
In the event of the Client cancelling the Booking, Travelcheck shall have the right to either claim the amount of, or retain an amount of the Payment and claim reasonable damages suffered by Travelcheck, provided that Travelcheck shall not impose any cancellation fee or claim any damages in respect of a Booking or reservation if the Client is unable to honour the Booking or reservation due to the death or hospitalisation of the Client. The Principals may reserve the right to cancel any services prior to departure, in which event the Payment (less Travelcheck's service fee) will be refunded by the Principal to the Client without any further obligation on the part of Travelcheck. Travelcheck will process the request for refund. Clients should refer to the “Refunds” section of these Conditions, as well as the cancellation provisions contained in the Principal’s Conditions or the Sites. Principals may charge cancellation fees over and above the cancellation fees charged by Travelcheck in terms of this Condition.
2.2.1 In accordance with the provisions of Sections 14C(c) and (d)(2) of the Act, the Consumer may cancel any reservation, in the field of tourism and vacations, within 14 days from the date of execution of the transaction, or from the date of receipt of the document containing said details, whichever is later, if the cancellation date of the transaction does not occur within seven days, which are Not Days of Rest, prior to the date on which the service is supposed to be provided.
2.2.2 Pursuant to Section 6A(12) of the Consumer Protection (Cancellation of Transaction) Regulations, the aforesaid shall not apply to accommodation, travel, vacation, and recreation services that are fully provided outside South Africa, including connection flights for flights departing from South Africa, provided by another airline, and Tour Packages outside of South Africa.
2.2.3 In transactions in which different components of the booking are purchased from different Providers, or alternatively can be cancelled separately from other components of the reservation, each component of the booking must be considered a separate transaction for the purpose of collecting the cancellation fees. For this purpose, in a transaction in which a number of airline tickets were purchased for a number of passengers, each ticket per passenger will be considered a separate transaction, and with respect to each ticket in which more than one airline is combined, the portion of each airline in the ticket will also be considered a separate transaction. For this purpose, the components of a Package that comprises several components, will be considered separate transactions for the purpose of calculating the cancellation fees.
2.2.4 In accordance with the provisions of Sections 14E(b)(1) of the Act, in the event of such cancellation, Travelcheck shall refund the consumer, within 14 days from the date of receipt of the Notice of Cancellation, the part of the price of the transaction paid by him by that time, will cancel the consumer’s charge for the transaction, and will not charge any amount to him, aside from a cancellation fee at a rate that does not exceed 5% of the price of the Service or the transaction, or R500 per customer, whichever is lower;
2.2.5 For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified, that the provisions of this Clause are for the customer’s convenience only, and that the binding and complete version of the cancellation instructions with respect to remote sales transactions, is the one set forth in Sections 14C and 14E of the Act.

3.3 Airline tickets are valid for the destinations and times noted on them. The policies of the airline / Provider, or flight organiser for each and every ticket are detailed on the airline’s websites and reservation systems (hereinafter: the “Ticket Rules”) including changes and cancellations and the costs thereof. Any change or cancellation of destinations / dates / names / route is subject to said policies. Travelcheck cannot change an airline’s or Supplier’s rules or policies. These regulations will be available to the passenger at any time; at the passenger’s request Travelcheck will provide the passenger with all the relevant Ticket Rules, and will find out for the passenger, at his request, what the Ticket Rules are, as well as the changes and cancellations policy and their cost, and will assist in this matter as requested.

The provisions of this section do not prevent the passenger from obtaining any remedy at law in respect of the change, including, in the event that the law permits it, cancellation of the transaction.
3.5 Travelcheck will not be liable for indirect damages caused to the customer as a result of delay or cancellation of air transport, which are the responsibility, and under the control, of the air carrier, including delay / cancellation due to “force majeure”.

3.7 The flight details appearing on the airline ticket are those which are binding with respect to the terms and conditions of the reservation; cancellations or changes, initiated by the airline, to the dates or route of a flight, may occur. The airline will notify you of these changes through us, or directly to you, according to the contact details you left on the Website at the time of booking. The airline may also offer you alternatives to your flight. You are not obligated to accepting these offers. Please contact us to review your rights at law, as well as so that we may propose any additional alternatives, if any.
3.8 Early check-in and flight confirmation – Early check-in may often prevent missing a flight or other mishaps. Some airlines require early check-in, and charge an additional fee at the airport if a passenger has not undertaken such early check-in. The passenger undertakes to check-in early on the airline’s website, as long as the airline enables this, which is incidentally also verification of the final flight times. On charter flights, which do not enable early check-in, it is necessary to confirm each flight according to the instructions, by using the phone number on the flight ticket, 72 hours prior to the flight departure time. Travelcheck will not be responsible or liable for any flight missed due to any failure to check-in early, or resulting from any failure to confirm the return flight.
3.9 The passenger must check-in early for all regular flights, including “Low-cost” flights. If the passenger fails to check-in early on the airline’s website, he must immediately contact Travelcheck’s call centre. The passenger must check the final departure time of his flight on the website of the airport from which the flight takes off, or on the airline’s website, or by contacting the Company. Travelcheck will not be responsible or liable for any flight missed due to early check-in failure, or resulting from the customer’s failure to undertake such inquiries.
3.10 Air carriers and immigration authorities have variable policies regarding any passenger who does not have an entry visa for an intermediate destination on the flight route, or lacks flight tickets for subsequent flights and/or return flights. The airlines and immigration authorities may prevent him from boarding the flight to the destination country, if the passenger does not have an entry visa for the intermediate destination or a ticket for the subsequent flight, or a return ticket, and this is subject to the exclusive discretion of the air carriers and immigration authorities on each flight route / destination (and regardless of entrance visa). The passenger must check and verify in person all requirements of the air carriers and those of final and intermediate destination countries on this point. Travelcheck will find out for any passenger, at his request, what the policies of the air carriers, and those of final and intermediate destination countries, are, and will assist each passenger on this point as requested. Travelcheck will not be responsible or liable for any missed flights resulting from any failure to perform this investigation by the passenger.
3.11 Passengers must report to the flight check-in desk at least three hours before the flight on international flights, and two hours on domestic flights. It is hereby clarified for the passenger’s benefit, that security and screening procedures are not carried out by Travelcheck, and therefore are not dependent on it.
3.12 Failure to appear for a flight may result in the immediate and automatic cancellation of any connection flight / return flight, if any, and even the imposition of a fine by the airline. If the passenger does not plan to board the outbound flight, or the subsequent flight on his route, or failed to arrive for the flight, he must immediately report this to Travelcheck, so that we can try to preserve the return flight ticket or any subsequent flights further down the route. In any event, refunds due to non-appearance or cancellation / retention of connection flight / return flight tickets, including refunds, if any, will be subject to airline policy and their considerations.

At the request of various air carriers, women who are 22-27 weeks pregnant must report to the flight with an appropriate medical certificate regarding the health of the pregnancy, in English, including that there is no reason that they should be prevented from boarding the flight. Arriving for a flight without such a medical certificate may result in the air crew refusing to allow the pregnant passenger to board the flight. Women over 27 weeks pregnant are not allowed to fly. In any event, in accordance with international conventions, the discretion regarding the participation of a pregnant woman on a flight is exclusively reserved for the captain of the flight, and he may refuse to permit a pregnant woman to board the flight even if she has presented such a certificate. The Company undertakes to maintain the privacy of the customer, and will not provide such information otherwise than for the purposes of processing her.
In-Flight Services
3.14 Travelcheck will transfer to the air carrier, to the extent possible, any special request made by the customer, but it does not undertake in any way that the request will be complied with, unless it was originally defined as a material request by the customer, due to his special needs, and as a condition of the booking, and was expressly recorded on the airline ticket.
3.15 Various airlines have different policies and definitions regarding the services provided on the flight, and regardless of the definition of the flight as a regular flight, low-cost, or a charter flight.
