Trip cancellation insurance reimburses you for non-refundable air and land costs if you have to cancel a trip due to personal or family illness or accident. The insurance that we recommend also provides coverage for all pre-existing conditions if you complete your insurance form and postmark it within seven calendar days of our receipt of your deposit. We highly recommend that you obtain this insurance.

5. Airlines

MTT is happy to book your airfare. Unless otherwise notated all advertised offers are for land only and do not include international airfare. We will offer you airfare that best coincides with your land or cruise tour schedule. Airline ticketing fees may appear as a separate charge on your credit card. Quoted airfare rates are subject to change until paid in full. Assigned seating may be limited and may not be available on every flight or departure date. Since most airlines now charge for assigned seats, there may be supplements in additional to the quoted airfare to confirm assigned seats. MTT is not responsible for unforeseen flight delays or changes due to war, political unrest, acts of God, epidemics, or pandemics. Air schedules may be subject to change at the discretion of the airline. MTT does not accept liability in the case of any passenger being denied boarding by any airline carrier due to the carriers overbooking of a flight.

6. Instant Purchase Non-Refundable Airfare:

Instant purchase non-refundable airfare requires full payment at the time of booking. Once a ticket is issued, there can be no fluctuation in price due to an increase in government taxes or in airline fuel surcharges. We recommend purchasing optional travel insurance at the same time so that your non-refundable airfare may be covered if you cancel your trip for a covered reason. Upon payment, tickets will be issued immediately (during normal business hours) and once issued, are non-refundable. Once tickets are purchased, some airlines may allow for changes to the ticket and specific fee's and allowances vary by the airline. All tickets include a Mission Travel Tours administration fee, which hold no airline reissue value. The administration fees are not refundable under any circumstances.

In such a case if cancelations are made we ask that our valued clients recognize that there are expenses, including unrecoverable third-party deposits, that MTT may not recoup as the planned date of a trip approaches and as a result, a 100% refund is not always possible. However, we are making every effort to recover, for the benefit our travelers, as many of those expenses as we are able.
