Booking Conditions
These Booking Conditions apply to bookings you make through our website and with our consultants in-store, by phone or by email. A contract on the terms set out in these Booking Conditions will exist as soon as we issue a confirmation invoice. References to “us”, “we” or “our” mean Swift Travel. Our Registered Office is at 199a High Road, Loughton, Essex, IG10 4LF. Please read them carefully as they are legally binding.
Understanding Your Contract
Please read these Booking Conditions carefully. You must not make any booking unless you understand and agree with these Booking Conditions. You should save and/or print a copy of these Booking Conditions at the time the booking is placed. We will rely on the authority of the person making the booking to act on behalf of any other traveller on the booking and that person will bind all such travellers to these Booking Conditions.
Your rights under your contract for travel arrangements will depend on the type of travel arrangement you book with us, which will be either a booking for package travel or for one or more individual travel services. Regardless of the type of arrangement you book with us, the provider of your travel service will have its own terms and conditions (such as airline conditions of carriage, accommodation or car hire terms or package organiser terms and conditions). All such terms and conditions (including limitations of liability) apply to these Booking Conditions and, accordingly, a reference to “these Booking Conditions” shall mean the terms and conditions set out herein as well as all terms and conditions of any provider of your travel services. To the extent of any inconsistency between a travel service provider’s terms and conditions and the terms and conditions set out herein, the travel service provider’s terms and conditions shall prevail, save to the extent that any provision in the travel service provider’s terms and conditions is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable. Your travel service providers will be identified on your quote or travel documents and their respective terms and conditions will be available on their websites or by contacting them.
Alternatively you can ask us for copies. You must read all applicable travel service provider terms and conditions carefully because in every case they will apply to the provision of your travel services.
Package Travel Arranged By Us
Your rights in relation to packages arranged by us are set out in these Booking Conditions (which are deemed to incorporate all terms and conditions of each travel service provider for the various components of your package travel arrangements). Where the combination of travel services offered to you is a package within the meaning of the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (“Package Travel Regulations”) you will benefit from all EU rights applying to packages. We will be fully responsible for the proper performance of any package that we have arranged for you. Additionally, as required by law, we (or the package organiser) have protection in place to refund your payments and, where transport is included in the package, to ensure your repatriation in the event that we become insolvent.
A package arranged by us will be a combination of at least two of the following components selected before payment or sold at an inclusive or total price: (a) transport, (b) accommodation, (c) vehicle rental, or (d) other tourist services accounting for a significant proportion of the package. Packages cover a period of more than twenty-four hours or include overnight accommodation.
We Act As Agent Only
When you make a booking with us, you acknowledge and agree that we will be acting as an agent only for the relevant package organiser or travel service provider, including in relation to packages that we arrange, and that neither Swift Travel nor any of its directors, employees or agents has any liability of any nature in connection with the relevant travel service, except as set out in these Booking Conditions and the Package Travel Regulations.
Any booking you make will be with the relevant travel service provider and not Swift Travel. Subject to the Package Travel Regulations, the relevant travel service provider, and not Swift Travel, will be responsible to you for the provision of the relevant travel service. Any services we provide to you are collateral to our agency relationship with the travel service provider and are separate to the actual provision of the travel services.
For any activity, excursion or other tour that you book while on travel arranged by us, your contract will be with the operator of the activity, excursion or tour and not with us and your legal rights in connection with such activity, excursion or tour will be against that operator. We are not responsible for the provision of the activity, excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator, except to the extent caused by fault on our part. Certain services offered in accommodation complexes and surrounding areas may not be provided directly by the hotel and, as such, neither we nor the hotel are liable for such services (for example, without limitation, watersports, sunbeds, spas and massages provided by third parties).
Prices & Payment
All prices are subject to change, and may fluctuate based on availability, as well as variable and seasonal pricing. Prices can be withdrawn or varied without notice. Prices are per person and inclusive of tax unless otherwise indicated. A search for availability will return the supplier’s current live price on the lowest fare available on your search date. This may be different from the Advertised Price if it has been varied by the supplier since being advertised by Swift Travel. Accommodation (if included) is based on two adults sharing unless otherwise indicated. Advertised prices may be limited to travel within specified dates. For holidays with flights, prices are based on the selected departure airport. We will confirm the correct price with you at the time of payment.
Prices are not guaranteed until you have paid a deposit for your booking – where applicable – or until full payment is made. We may correct any pricing errors on our website at any time. If a pricing correction affects your pending order, we will offer you the opportunity to keep your booking at the correct price, or we will cancel your pending order without penalty.
To confirm your travel arrangements you may be required to pay a deposit per person. All deposits are non- refundable and non-transferable for changes of mind or cancellations by you. We will advise you of the amount of the deposit and date for final payment at the time of your booking.
Subject to any promotional terms and conditions that we may offer from time to time, if you have made a package booking arranged by us, you will be required to pay a deposit. An additional deposit will be required for any tour, or cruise, certain airfares or other travel services which form part of your package. The balance for your package must be paid no later than 10 weeks prior to departure or such earlier time that we notify you on your booking confirmation. Bookings for flights only must be paid for in full at the time of booking unless we tell you otherwise.
Certain airfares and services (including some packaged airfares and services) are booked at especially competitive rates which may require payment in full at the time of booking and may be non-refundable.
We will collect all mandatory taxes, however some countries may charge additional departure, hotel or other taxes that must be paid locally. We advise travellers to retain sufficient local currency to meet these charges.
Foreign Office Advice
You are responsible for making yourself aware of Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) advice regarding the safety of the countries and areas in which you will be travelling and to make your decisions accordingly. For the latest travel advice including security and local laws and customs you’re advised to visit gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice. We advise you to check regularly as the advice is updated frequently.
Local Taxes & Fees
Swift Travel will detail on your itinerary where local taxes and charges need to be paid. Countries may also charge departure taxes that can only be paid locally. It is therefore recommended that you retain sufficient local currency to meet such charges.
Your Responsibility
It is your responsibility to arrive on time for flights, cruises, and all reservations and to reconfirm your arrangements (if required), as well as meeting all local government requirements for travel. You must behave in a reasonable and responsible manner to other people that you meet during your travel arrangements. We reserve the right to cancel forthwith any holiday arrangements in the event of unruly behaviour towards our suppliers or their agents. You will be liable in full for cancellation charges and the costs of purchasing a replacement travel arrangement in this circumstance.
Airline Seat Requests
Where an airline offers advance seat assignment we will endeavour to accommodate individual preferences. However these preferences cannot be guaranteed even when confirmed and all airlines reserve the right to change or cancel seat allocations. Where an airline is in the process of improving or refreshing a cabin service or has indicated a specific aircraft type it is not possible to guarantee the improved product or the aircraft type will be available on the day of travel. These factors are due in part to aircraft rotation, equipment servicing and other operational reasons.
Payment By Debit and Credit Card
We accept most major debit and credit cards. You authorise us to charge all amounts payable by you in relation to the services provided to the card designated by you. If payment is not received from the issuer for any reason, you agree to pay us all amounts due immediately on demand.
If you choose to save your card details with us, they will be securely stored and may be used for your future transactions with us (including transactions agreed over the phone or by email). You can choose to remove your saved card details at any time.
Payments made by a corporate debit or credit card, including commercial American Express, are subject to charges, as detailed below:
Visa Commercial Debit – 0.090% Visa Commercial Credit – 2.002% MasterCard Commercial Credit – 2.058% Commercial American Express – 1.95%
Payment By Bank Transfer
If you are paying by this method you will need to request account details from your consultant and make the payment at least three business days prior to the actual due date. You must notify your consultant of your payment once it has been made.
Frequent Flyer Memberships
When booking with one of our consultants, please let them know your frequent flyer membership details (or other applicable loyalty program details) for inclusion in your booking. Please check your applicable loyalty program for the specific terms of your membership. We cannot guarantee that the travel service provider will credit you with points for your booking. Any loyalty program discrepancies in relation to your booking must be communicated to us within one month of your return date.
Travel Documents
Travel documents include airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers or any other document (whether in electronic form or otherwise) used to confirm an arrangement with a service provider. Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and restrictions including being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and subject to cancellation and amendment fees. All airline tickets must be issued in the name of the passport/photo identity holder. An incorrect name on a booking may result in an inability to travel on that booking and the booking being cancelled. Please review your travel documentation carefully and advise us immediately of any errors in names, dates or timings. It is your responsibility to collect all travel documents from us prior to travel and to observe all airline check-in times and requirements (many airlines allow you to check-in online within certain timeframes). Please note that a flight described in your flight ticket as “direct” will not necessarily be non-stop.
If you are unsure about what documents you should receive then please contact our Customer Service Team on 0208 502 8300 or alternatively email us at aftersales@swifttravel.com.
Schedule Changes
All departure and arrival times on your flight ticket are provided by the airline and are estimates only. They may change due to air traffic control restrictions, weather conditions or operational requirements. We recommend that you contact the airline or visit the airline’s website to confirm your scheduled departure time 24 hours prior to your flight. You should also confirm departure times for each onward flight. In the event of schedule changes, failure to reconfirm any sector of your itinerary may result in you needing to purchase a new flight.
If You Change Your Booking
If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example your chosen travel dates or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the lead–named traveller who made the booking. You will be asked to pay our administration charge of £75 per passenger per booking (or such other amount specified in your travel documents), plus any additional travel service provider change or cancellation fees. Where we incur any liability for a travel service provider change or cancellation fee for any booking which you change, you agree to compensate us for the amount of that fee. You should be aware that costs could increase closer to the departure date. When changing travel arrangements we may have to rebook you to current fares and rates, which may result in an increase in the cost of your arrangements, in addition to our administration charge and the travel service provider’s change fees.
No date changes are permitted outside of your ticket’s validity period. ‘Minimum stay’ and ‘maximum stay’ rules apply to return and multi-stop flights.
Certain travel arrangements (e.g. advance purchase tickets and non-flexible fares) may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of the service cost. Name changes are not permitted in any instance (subject to the section below ‘If you transfer your package holiday’). If you have purchased a return flight, multi-stop or round the world flight and you do not check in on a confirmed flight, the airline will register you as a ‘no show’ and your tickets on your subsequent flights will be cancelled by the airline. Please contact us as soon as possible if you do not intend to check in for a confirmed reservation in these circumstances.
If You Transfer Your Package Holiday
If we have arranged a package for you and you are prevented from taking your travel arrangements you may make a request to transfer those arrangements to another individual. A transfer request must be made in writing by the lead- named traveller not less than 7 days prior to departure and must include proof of acceptance of the transfer by the new traveller. Both you and the new traveller will remain jointly liable and responsible for the additional costs involved, which will include our administration charge of £125 per person per booking as well as any other applicable travel service provider’s charges. Please note that some airlines may refuse such requests and treat the transfer as a cancellation and rebooking.
If You Cancel Your Booking
You may cancel your travel arrangements at any time, however please note that certain travel arrangements may be non-refundable and we will charge you a cancellation fee of £125 per person. If you cancel after the balance due date notified to you on your booking confirmation, you will not be entitled to any refund. The lead-named traveller must provide written notification. The applicable cancellation fee will be set out in your quote or other travel documents. Your refund and remedy rights as set out in these Booking Conditions are subject to your rights under the Package Travel Regulations.
If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges from your travel insurer. Refunds will only be made available to the person named on the booking payment receipt, unless otherwise agreed in writing by all travellers listed on a booking.
If We Change Or Cancel Your Booking
Occasionally a travel service provider may have to make changes to your original booking. We do not accept any liability or costs incurred that may result from these changes, other than in accordance with the Package Travel Regulations. Most of these changes will be minor and we will advise you of them at the earliest possible date.
We will advise you of the carrier operating each flight in your itinerary. Any changes to the carrier after you have received your tickets will be notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding gate. Please note that carriers may be subject to change. Such a change is deemed to be a minor change. Other examples of minor changes include alteration of your flight departure time by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type and change of accommodation to a comparable or higher standard. No compensation is payable in respect of minor changes.
In certain circumstances we or a travel service provider may be required to cancel your travel arrangements (for example, if the minimum number of travellers required for a tour or excursion is not reached or for reasons of force majeure, pandemic or epidemic illness or if you fail to pay the final balance by the due date). If we cancel in these circumstances (except where you have failed to pay the final balance) you can either have a refund of all money paid or, if available, accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value). If we cancel because you fail to pay the final balance by the due date then our standard cancellation fees shall apply.
Except as otherwise required by the Package Travel Regulations, where you seek a refund for a cancelled booking for which payment has been made to the travel service provider, we will not provide a refund to you until we receive the funds from that travel service provider. Where agreed with you, refunds may be in the form of a “Refundable Credit Note”.
Under EU law (EC 261/2004) you have rights in some circumstances to refunds or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Details of these rights are published at EU airports and are also available from your airline. However, reimbursement by an airline of the cost of a flight that forms part of a package does not automatically entitle you to a refund of your entire package travel arrangement cost from us.
Passports & Visas
All travellers must have a valid passport for any international travel and many countries require at least six months’ validity from the date of return. Some countries also require a machine-readable passport and/or unstamped available pages. When assisting with an international travel booking, we will assume that all travellers on the booking have a valid passport. If this is not the case, you must let us know. It is important that you ensure that you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits which meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities (including, in certain cases, visas for transit points). Any fines, penalties, payments, delays or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility (except to the extent caused by fault on our part). We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. If you need information regarding visa and other travel document requirements for your trip please let us know. If you are a British citizen we will provide you with general information on visa and passport requirements that apply to international travel bookings you make with us. For all passport holders, our consultants can obtain specific information from an external visa advisory service provider on your behalf (if you wish, we can assist you to obtain visas through this external service and fees will apply). We do not warrant the accuracy of information provided by any external service and accept no liability for any loss or damage which you may suffer in reliance on it (except to the extent caused by fault on our part). Please allow adequate time to obtain any such advice or documents.
If you are travelling to Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the United States please be advised that there are compulsory pre-registration requirements for their visa waiver programs. If you have registered before, please check your registration is valid and has not lapsed. Please note, you may not meet the eligibility requirements and may be required to obtain a visa.
If you are travelling to South Africa with a person under the age of 18 you will be asked to show the child’s full unabridged birth certificate. There are additional requirements if the child is travelling with only one parent, with neither biological parent, or unaccompanied. Failure to provide this information on check in will result in passengers being denied boarding.
It is a requirement for some air carriers to provide personal information, including passport information, about all passengers on their aircraft. The data will be collected when you check-in (either online or at the airport) or, in some circumstances, will be required when you make your booking.
Travel Insurance
For all travel we strongly recommend that you take out appropriate travel insurance to cover your travel arrangements. It is your responsibility to ensure you have valid travel insurance that covers and is appropriate for your needs. We will not be liable for any loss you incur if and insofar as you are able to claim for damages under a travel insurance policy.
Health Requirements
You must ensure that you are aware of any health requirements and recommended precautions (including viral antibody or PCR testing requirements) relevant to your travel and ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination and other health-related documentation. In some cases, failure to present required vaccination or health-related documentation (e.g. proof of yellow fever vaccination or current COVID-19 PCR test) may deny you entry into a country or invalidate your travel insurance cover. We recommend that you consult with your doctor or specialist clinic before commencing travel.
Medical Conditions, Mobility & Disability Requirements and Your Ability to Participate
If any member of your party has any personal or medical condition or disability which may affect your booking, please advise before you make your booking so that we can try to confirm suitability of your chosen arrangements. Regrettably, where you do not advise us in full prior to making your booking it may limit your rights under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018. On occasions some of our suppliers may request completion of a medical form or a letter from a GP confirming fitness to travel.
Special Requirements
Please let us know of any special requirements you may have for your travel arrangements such as special meal and seating requests, room type or mobility assistance. Please understand that travel service providers may not be able to accommodate every request.
If You Have A Complaint
We aim to provide you with an amazing travel experience. However, if you have a problem during your trip, please inform the relevant travel service provider (e.g. your hotelier) and your travel consultant as soon as possible who will endeavour to put things right. If your complaint is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 28 days of your return home by writing to our Customer Services Department at aftersales@swifttravel.com, or by post to 199a High Road, Loughton, Essex, IG10 4LF. giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. It is strongly recommended that you communicate any complaint to the travel service provider in question as well as your travel consultant without delay. If you fail to follow this procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were travelling and this may affect your rights. Out of normal office hours you may also contact our emergency assistance department on the numbers specified in the section below titled ‘Emergency contact’.
Your Financial Protection
We hold an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (number 5950) issued by the Civil Aviation Authority.
Many of the flights and flight-inclusive travel arrangements we arrange on your behalf are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all travel and travel services. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts not listed will not be ATOL protected. For more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificate.
When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive travel through us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong.
If your booking (or part of it) is ATOL protected, we, or the travel service provider identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the booking service and arrange the travel services as listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the travel service provider are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the travel services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).
If we, or the travel service provider identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to arrange or provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.
If you book a package which does not include flights, our ABTA membership means that we provide financial protection for your money. If you book other travel arrangements, such as accommodation only, this protection doesn’t apply.
ABTA Protection
We are a Member of ABTA, membership number A5471. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found at abta.com.
Our Responsibility For Your Booking
In all circumstances, we will not be liable where any failure in the performance or provision of your travel arrangements is due to: (a) your acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of another member in your group (including, without limitation, where you or a member of your group is negligent, under the influence of alcohol or other substances, or acts in an inappropriate or reckless manner) (b) any third party not connected with the provision of your travel arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable or (c) unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, including but not limited to: war, threat of war, riot, civil disturbances, industrial dispute, terrorist activity and its consequences, plague, epidemic, pandemic, infectious disease outbreak or any other public health crisis (including quarantine or other restrictions), natural or other disaster (such as volcanic ash or hurricanes), nuclear incident, fire, adverse weather conditions (actual or threatened, including snow and fog), closed or congested airports or ports, unavoidable technical problems with transport, unforeseen alterations to transport schedules, transportation disruptions or cancellations, domestic and/or international travel restrictions, changes to travel advisories and restrictions, changes to health advisories and quarantines, changes to immigration, labour and free-movement laws resulting from BREXIT, rescheduling of aircraft or boats or other modes of transport, changes to applicable laws and/or other government mandates (including evacuation orders and border closures), and similar events.
Without limiting the foregoing paragraph, in no event will we be liable for any criminal act or omission of any travel service provider or its employees, contractors or agents or any other third party.
Our liability will in all cases be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to: (a) the terms and conditions of the travel service providers that provide your travel arrangements (which, by making a booking with us, you acknowledge form part of these Booking Conditions) – and (b) relevant international conventions, including the Carriage by Air Conventions (within the meaning given in section 1(5) of the Carriage by Air Act 1961), the Athens Convention of 1974 on the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea and the Convention of 1980 concerning International Carriage by Rail.
Package Travel Arranged By Us
In accordance with the Package Travel Regulations, if we have arranged a package for you and the travel arrangements are not performed with reasonable skill and care we will make good those arrangements or pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your trip. Our liability in respect of packages arranged by us, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, is limited to a maximum of three times the cost of your package travel arrangement. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you have not received any benefit at all from your package travel arrangement. Any amounts you receive from travel service providers or travel insurance will be deducted from any sum paid to you as compensation by us.
Individual Services and Third Party Packages
If you have made a booking with us for (i) a single travel service; or (ii) a package organised by someone other than us, then our obligation to you is to (and you expressly authorise us to) make travel bookings on your behalf with reasonable skill and care and to arrange the relevant contracts between you and travel service providers on your behalf. We exercise care in the selection of reputable travel service providers but we are not ourselves a provider of travel services and have no control over, or liability for, the services provided by third parties. All bookings are made on your behalf subject to the terms and conditions, including conditions of carriage and limitations of liability, imposed by these travel service providers. Your legal rights in connection with the provision of individual services and third party arranged packages are against the specific provider and are not against us, except to the extent a problem is caused by fault on our part.
Local Regulations
In each case above, a service will be deemed to have been provided to you with ‘reasonable skill and care’ if it complies with the locally enforced regulations of the country in which it is performed, or, in the absence of locally enforced regulations, if the service is delivered in a reasonable manner given locally accepted standards and practices. Please be aware that overseas safety and hygiene standards are often lower than in the UK.
Your Personal Safety
You must at all times maintain the same level of due diligence and care as you would take at home in regard to your personal safety. You must take all reasonable precautions to avoid dangerous or high-risk situations, including but not limited to reasonable care in your interactions with people not known to you.
Money Not Held On Trust
All money paid by you to us will be the property of Swift Travel and will be a debt due and payable to the travel service provider once the services to which the money relates have been provided (except for money paid for flights with an IATA airline, which might be held on trust for that IATA airline). You agree and acknowledge that such monies will not be held by us on trust for and on behalf of you and we may hold such monies in any account as we see fit, including with our own and/or other customer money.
Protecting Your Personal Information
Swift Travel takes the collection, processing and management of customer data very seriously. The company strives to be fully GDPR compliant and we routinely review our data management policies. We have measures in place to protect the personal booking information held by us and passed on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements. These may include public authorities such as customs and immigration along with security or credit card services. If you travel outside the European Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection may not be as strong as those within the EEA. Unless required to do so by law, we will only pass on your information to persons responsible for your travel arrangements, which may include sensitive information such as details of disabilities, dietary or religious requirements. When making a booking you are consenting to the relevant information being passed on as above. If you have any questions or concerns about any aspect of our policies in relation to the capture and processing of your personal data please refer to the full Privacy Statement: https://swifttravel.com/privacy-and-cookies-policy/
Alternatively, you may contact our Data Protection Officer by post using the below details:
The Data Protection Officer, Swift Travel, 199a High Road, Loughton, IG10 4LF
In particular, you agree that in certain circumstances (such as where you request us to book international travel for you), we are permitted to disclose your personal information to overseas recipients. Such recipients may include the overseas travel service providers with whom you seek to make a booking. These travel service providers will in most cases receive your personal information in the country in which they will provide the services to you or in which their business is managed or based. We may also disclose your personal information to our overseas related entities and to service providers who perform services for us within and outside the UK. Generally, we will only disclose your personal information to these overseas recipients in connection with facilitation of your travel booking and/or to enable the performance of administrative and technical services by them on our behalf.
Where we disclose your personal information to a third party overseas recipient, you agree that the recipient may be located in a country with laws that do not protect personal information as stringent as those of the UK. You acknowledge that we deal with thousands of travel service providers around the world (some of which are very small operations or are located in countries with laws, and/or in regions with technology, which may not be as advanced as those existing in the UK). Therefore, where your requested travel arrangements require that your personal information be sent to an overseas recipient (other than any of our overseas related entities), you agree that this is at your risk and we will not be liable or accountable for how those recipients handle your personal information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party service provider whose services we arrange on your behalf. If you have any objections to your personal information being disclosed to an overseas recipient, please let us know.
We strongly recommend that you provide us with each traveller’s phone number and email at the time of making your booking. If this information is not provided you may not receive information from airlines relating to flight cancellations or schedule changes.
Emergency Contact (365/24/7)
When you book with us we will look after you until you arrive home safely from your travels. You can contact our customer support line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from wherever you are in the world. Please dial +44 208 502 8300 to speak with the Swift Travel Duty Officer.
Final Provisions
If any dispute arises between you and us, the laws of England and the jurisdiction of the English Courts will apply. Any provision (or part of any provision) of these terms and conditions which is invalid in any jurisdiction is invalid in that jurisdiction to that extent, without invalidating or affecting the remaining provisions (or part provision) of this agreement or the validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction.
No one other than a party to this agreement, their successors and permitted assignees, shall have any right to enforce any of the terms of this agreement, including under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
