Travel Documentation

Different situations require different documents. Please become familiar with the specific document requirements for the country(s) you are visiting. All passengers traveling outside of the US are required to have certain travel documents: a valid passport in the same name as the airline ticket, and either a round-trip airline ticket or proof of onward travel. 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

Passengers are advised to keep proper documentation on their person during travel. 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.

• If the customer makes a mistake in the process of travel booking, he or she should not make a second booking until inquiring with our support department about the status of the first one

If the customer does not wish to fax a photo ID, we can suggest an alternative item to fax. This is for protection against identity theft for the credit card holder.

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. Mango Tours will not be held liable if the airline cancels the flight before the 24-hour hold period. Reservations on hold will automatically be canceled if left unpaid after 24 hours from the time of reservation.

TAXES, CHARGES, AND FEES

• For many airline fares, your total price may be split into two or more charges between Airline’s name and Travelfast Int’l. It will appear in your credit card statement. Sometimes there is a separate charge by an airline for each passenger. You may also see charges split into a part called "airfare balance," "service fee," "agent fee," "travel service" or similar.

• Contracts of Carriage: Making a purchase of any airline's fare through any website constitutes acceptance of the airline's Contract of Carriage. Each airline's rules for boarding and carriage of passengers are available via phone to the airline and often on their website if you search "contract of carriage".
• Do not book a minor flying alone, age 16 or less, unless you are willing to pay additional airline fees at the airport and you are fully aware of what the particular airline's rules are for a minor traveling alone. Some airlines disallow solitary minors on particular flight connections.

CREDIT CARD ISSUES AND DISPUTES

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.
• If the customer attempts a chargeback on a non-refundable airline ticket, service fee, or an airfare balance that meets the terms and conditions of this agreement; the customer agrees to refund the full amount of the chargeback with a $50 penalty for the inconvenience and accounting costs.
• Since some charges for airfare are in the airline's name, the customer hereby recognizes our agency to have full authority equal to that of the airline in re-collecting the disputed funds through the customer's bank, credit card company, courts, and collection agencies as if the agency were the airline itself.
• 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. In the event of a court finding in favor of our agency, the customer shall not resist or unnecessarily delay payment of any judgment produced. If payment is nonetheless failed as prescribed by the Court, the customer shall not resist garnishing of his/her wages.
