PASSENGER NAME:
Passengers are responsible to ensure that the names printed on the invoice exactly match the first and last name written in their passport. Any name change may require airline reservations to be canceled and rebooked. Reservations are subject to availability at the time of
rebooking. Passengers will be required to pay airlines rebooking fee of up to $350 per ticket. Homeric Tours will not be held responsible for the denial of services by a
carrier due to any name discrepancy.

SPECIAL REQUESTS:
We will be happy to advise hotels, airlines and cruises lines of any special requests, provided we receive the request at time of booking. However, we cannot guarantee all requests.

AIRLINES:
Once issued, tickets are nonrefundable. Airline schedules and flights are subject to change without notice. HT is not
responsible for penalties incurred for tickets not issued by HT due to schedule or flight changes. Airlines reserve the right to demand immediate issuance of tickets whenever they determine that necessary. In that case, HT will
require immediate full payment of the airfare portion and taxes. This situation overrides invoice terms and conditions and payment due dates. If full payment is not received, seats will be cancelled by the airline and may
not be available to be rebooked on the same flights or at the same airfare. Any replacement air arrangements and airfare will be the sole responsibility of the passenger.

HOTELS:
Hotels accommodations will be provided in accordance with the itinerary or similar. We reserve the right substitute hotels of equal category. All rooms are twin-bedded rooms with private facilities, unless an
upgrade was requested. Room selection is at the discretion of the hotel. Triple rooms consist of a standard twin bedded room plus a sofa, folding bed or cot for the third person.

BAGGAGE:
The less you bring with you, the better; we recommend that you take along one suitcase per person, plus a small overnight bag. On land, due to limited motorcoach capacity, we request that only one bag per person be carried on motor coaches. If additional baggage is carried (other than overnight bag) a supplementary charge of $2.00 per additional suitcase per “lift” will be levied according to the number of lifts. For those tours that include a domestic flight(s) in your destination, only one suitcase per person will be allowed. Additional baggage charges will be applied upon check-in, according to airline tariff. For international flights there will be no additional charges for 2 checked bags per person (unless they exceed the dimensions & weight limit of each particular airline). Baggage is carried at owner’s risk and baggage insurance is strongly recommended.

PORTERAGE:
Porterage of only one suitcase per person is provided in our tours. However you should know that strict security precautions, especially going through Customs inspections, on entry or exit points, demand that you carry your personal piece of luggage for the Customs official. This procedure is seriously enforced and there are no exceptions to the rule. We ask that you bring with you only a small carry on piece and one suitcase. Both pieces you should be able to carry on your own, where necessary, when the law, for your own protection, demands it.

This will only be in Customs and security areas such at ports and airports. Our own people will be there beyond these areas to assist you.

PASSPORTS AND VISAS:
United States citizens require a valid passport only. It is suggested that ALL participants check with the appropriate Consulates to determine if any visas are required. Those taking one of our Russian, Egypt and/or Turkey tours require a visa and should obtain one prior to departure. IMPORTANT:Passengers requiring a Schengen visa MUST have a multi entry Schengen visa.
