4. 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 SBTbyD aware when traveling on a passport from a country other than the United States of America. SBTbyD neither controls nor warrants the issuance of visas or approval of visa waivers related to your travel. Should a visa not be issued, SBTbyD 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.

5. 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. See, https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html. 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. See: https://www.canada.ca.

You must have the proper immunizations and health screenings and required documentation of such immunizations and screenings before travel.

If you are concerned about taking any medications or receiving certain inoculations, check with your health practitioner BEFORE booking. Check the State Department Web site http://travel.state.gov, for relevant information relating to travel to specific destinations, and the Center for Disease Control http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/ relating to health issues related to travel.

7. 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, SBTbyD 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 jurisdications covering travelers with disabilities or special needs may change without prior advance notice and Sojourney 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.

8. RISKS AND SAFETY

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/

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 Sojourney, 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.

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). SBTbyD has no liability if accural 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.
