Additionally, many nations require a visa issued by the destination country, medical inoculations for infected areas/countries, and/or proof of sufficient funds when entering the destination country. Some countries have a departure tax payable at the airport before departing the country. Contact the destination country's consulate or equivalent sources for these rules prior to buying airline tickets

It is the passenger's responsibility to ensure they have the correct documents needed for travel to or from any international destination. Should documentation not be adequate or sufficient, passengers will not be boarded.

FREE 24-HOUR FARE HOLD
- Free 24-Hour Fare Hold applies to flights departing 72 hours or later from the time of reservation. Flights flying sooner are subject to the airlines' fare hold rules.

If the customer does not notify Travelfast/Mango Tours or its travel support center within (5) days, the customer waives any right to dispute such problems or discrepancies. Justification for this paragraph of policy is that the customer's card-issuing bank sometimes informs only the airline of a dispute in process, in such cases, Travelfast/Mango Tours would have insufficient opportunity to present its own side in the matter unless informed by the customer in a timely manner.

- In cases of fraudulent chargeback, the customer will be responsible for the cost required to initiate legal proceedings in order to recoup the potential loss.
