- TRAVEL
DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING TSA AND DHS ACCEPTABLE IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
It is the responsibility of each Client to obtain and carry
a valid passport book, visa(s), and all other documents required by applicable
government regulations. Passport cards are not accepted for most international
travel. When traveling domestically or internationally, the U.S. Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
advise that everyone carry acceptable identification in order to board a
flight. Acceptable identification can be found at http://www.tsa.gov/ and
examples include DHS-designated enhanced driver’s license, US passport, or a
foreign government passport.
Certain countries will not admit a passenger if their passport expires within
six (6) months of the anticipated date of return. Non-United States citizens
may require additional documentation, and you are responsible to make WWHT
aware when traveling on a passport from a country other than the United States
of America. WWHT neither controls nor warrants the issuance of visas or
approval of visa waivers related to your travel. Should a visa not be issued, WWHT
is not responsible for lost payments made toward your trip. Please note that
rules of each country regarding entry and exit may change at any time.
Children and infants may also require travel documents. Minors traveling with
one parent, and/or without both parents, may be stopped and not admitted,
unless authenticated and verified consent forms are provided to the
authorities; please see https://help.cbp.gov for additional information. The
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency requires that for groups of children
under age 19 arriving to the United States by land or sea from contiguous
territory and traveling with a school group, religious group, social or
cultural organization, or sports team, may also present an original or copy of
his or her birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a
Naturalization Certificate. Parental or legal guardian consent must be provided
to the supervising adult or group leader in writing.
The name, date of birth and gender that appears on the identification card must
exactly match the same such data that is listed on your tickets and booking
records. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to ensure that the
information on your tickets and confirmations is accurate. Any discrepancy
between your reservation and your travel documentation may result in denied
boarding or an undue delay at an airport security checkpoint causing you to
miss your flight, and any subsequent scheduled travel bookings on cruises and
tours.
WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REVIEW AND
VERIFY ALL INFORMATION FOR ACCURACY. CONTACT WWHT IMMEDIATELY IF CHANGES OR
CORRECTIONS ARE REQUIRED. IF YOU HAVE NOT NOTIFIED US OF NECESSARY CORRECTIONS
TO YOUR RESERVATION WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR (24) HOURS OF RECEIVING YOUR TRAVEL
DOCUMENTS, WWHT BEARS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH MAKING NECESSARY CORRECTIONS.
- INDIVIDUAL
ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS
Each country holds different views of past criminal
offenses, whether within or outside of their boundaries. If you have a current
or prior criminal offense, contact that country directly for entry and exit
requirements. You can visit the US
State Department Website for further information about these
requirements. We do not inquire about an individual’s criminal record in
the interest of respecting our Clients’ privacy. For example, if traveling to
or through Canada, individuals with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) record or
with judgements for unpaid child support should review current entry
requirements. Official
website of the Government of Canada.
- IMMUNIZATIONS
AND HEALTH SCREENINGS
You must have the proper immunizations and health screenings
and required documentation of such immunizations and screenings before travel. WWHT
shall not assume responsibility for the accuracy of health, vaccination, or
documentation requirements prior to departure or upon landing at the final
destination. In some cases, required inoculations must be recorded by Client’s
health practitioner on a valid vaccination certificate, which the Client must
carry for proof of inoculation. If you are concerned about taking any
medications or receiving certain inoculations, check with your health
practitioner BEFORE booking. Check the State Department Website US Department of State,
for relevant information relating to travel to specific destinations, and
the Center for
Disease Control relating to health issues related to travel.
- ACCESSIBILITY,
TRAVELERS WITH DISABILITIES, SPECIAL TRAVEL NEEDS
Travelers with disabilities or special needs who may require
non-emergency special services, additional support or accommodation of a
disability should advise us in advance of booking, so that we can request
assistance or arrange for appropriate services or equipment. In some cases when
travelers are unable to use their own wheelchairs, mobility devices, medical
equipment or devices, rental of special equipment or devices may result in
additional charges. Airlines may impose charges for additional baggage and may
have restrictions on the size of wheelchairs that they can accommodate.
In order to travel with a service animal or emotional support animal, some
Suppliers may require advance arrangements and special documentation of the
animal’s health and training.
When traveling outside of the United States or Canada, laws and regulations
will often apply different standards of accommodation for travelers with
disabilities or special needs. While we are committed to assisting travelers
with disabilities or special needs, WWHT is not responsible for the failure of
Suppliers in those countries to meet the needs of travelers when the Supplier
follows laws and regulations of the local jurisdiction. Additionally, the laws
and regulations of local jurisdictions covering travelers with disabilities or
special needs may change without prior advance notice and WWHT bears no
responsibility in case of changes in the legal or regulatory framework of the
places you may visit on your trip.
Certain destinations may have limited medical facilities or limited
availability of prescription medications. We recommend that you consult with
your health practitioner to discuss the details of your trip. Certain travel
insurance plans may provide access to emergency medical care, medical
evacuation and replacement of prescription medication. WE RECOMMEND THE
PURCHASE OF COMPREHENSIVE TRAVEL INSURANCE ON ALL BOOKINGS.
- RISKS
AND SAFETY
Travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than
others. WWHT urges Clients to remain informed on a daily basis as to current
news events, as well as to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements
and advisories issued by the United States Government prior to booking travel
to international destinations. Information on health and safety conditions in
various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular
international destinations can be found at http://www.state.gov, http://www.tsa.gov, http://www.dot.gov, http://www.faa.gov, http://www.cdc.gov,

U.S. Government to U.S. citizens who are traveling to, or living in, a foreign
country. STEP allows you to enter information about your upcoming trip abroad
so that the Department of State can better assist you in an emergency.
Registration is recommended and provided by going to https://step.state.gov/step/

OR WARRANT THAT TRAVEL TO SUCH POINTS IS ADVISABLE OR WITHOUT RISK, AND SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR COSTS, DAMAGES, OR LOSSES THAT MAY RESULT FROM TRAVEL TO SUCH
DESTINATIONS. CLIENT’S PARTICIPATION CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH EVENTS AT
CLIENT’S OWN RISK.
Certain activities that are included as part of itineraries that we book pose
inherent risks and may be dangerous. Your itinerary may also involve travel to
remote areas without access to medical facilities or treatment, changing weather
conditions, interactions or encounters with wildlife, and other potentially
dangerous conditions. By booking a trip with WWHT, you acknowledge that you are
aware that the physical exertion required to participate in certain activities
can activate or aggravate pre-existing injuries, conditions, or congenital
defects. You acknowledge that you should seek medical advice if you know or
suspect that your physical condition may be incompatible with the activities on
your itinerary. You may be required to wear approved safety equipment while
participating in certain activities, and by booking travel with us and
participating in these activities, you agree to use the recommended safety
equipment and to ask questions if you are unsure about how to properly or
safely use equipment.
If you use, consume, or are under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs
prior to or while engaging in any activities on your itinerary, YOU ASSUME AND
ACCEPT ALL RISKS, DANGERS, AND HAZARDS THAT MAY RESULT INCLUDING THE
POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND LOSS, even in the
event of negligence or fault by WWHT or third parties, and you indemnify WWHT
from any and all liability for any damage to property or personal injury to any
third party, resulting from your participation in the Activities, while,
during, or after consumption of illegal drugs or alcohol.
In the event of emergent health or safety concerns, once WWHT has investigated
the prevailing situation, WWHT shall have the sole and absolute discretion
whether to proceed with any WWHT escorted trip or private departure, or to make
alterations to the itinerary.
- HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS

materials on the aircraft.

the passenger’s luggage or on the passenger’s person. A violation can result in

Requirements
- AIR
TRAVEL, SCHEDULE RECONFIRMATION, CHECK-IN
Your airline ticket is a contract between you and the air
carrier, even if you purchase through WWHT. If you purchase air travel through WWHT,
you acknowledge and agree that WWHT does not have the right to control the
operations of independent airlines, and agree that WWHT is not liable for any
personal injury, property damage related to your purchase of air tickets or air
travel, including, but not limited to any act, error, omission, injury, loss,
accident, or delay caused by any act, error or omission of the airline, including
their failure to deliver services, partial or inadequate delivery of services,
airline policies including refund or rebooking policies, fees for checked or
carry-on luggage, fuel increases, bankruptcy or cessation of operations.
WWHT shall not assume any responsibility for any air schedule changes. In rare
instances, upon departure from a country, certain departure taxes must be paid
in cash only and may vary in price. Failure to use a reservation may result in
automatic cancellation of all continuing and return flights, as well as
forfeiture of airfares.
Airline e-tickets expire a year from issue date unless carrier fare rules in
passenger’s itinerary fare provide otherwise.
Due to enhanced security, it is strongly recommended that you check in a
minimum of 2 hours prior to scheduled departure for domestic flights and 3
hours prior to scheduled departure time for international flights. Reconfirm
flight times at least 24 hours prior to scheduled departure time for domestic
flights, and 72 hours prior for international flights.
Frequent Flyer mileage accrual is at the discretion of the airline(s). WWHT has
no liability if accrual of miles or points is denied or if upgrades are not
allowed. Many airlines do not permit upgrades on airfare purchased in certain
fare classes or when using frequent flyer miles, loyalty status or
certificates.
Seat assignments are not guaranteed even after they are assigned, and WWHT has
no control over airline seat assignments. Most airlines charge a fee to pre
book a seat.
