Updated Pricing on Current Bookings
With our new Delta/Northwest Airlines Contract and the specials we are offering for reservations prior to 12/30/09, some prices have actually decreased after October 30, 2009. If this is the case for any of your clients that were booked prior to October 30, 2009, we will automatically be updating their reservations with the lower pricing and sending you a revised invoice. Please allow a few weeks to receive the revised invoices because we do have to check all the reservations made prior to October 30, 2009. Please note, there has been no decrease in price for any of your clients booked on tours with the Passion Play. Also, encourage any new reservations to book as soon as possible to get in on the very special pricing being offered for reservations prior to 12/30/09!
Confirmation Packets for 2010 Update
We will be processing Confirmation Packets this month, as we are now able to start holding air space for 2010 tours. Please keep in mind that we have to book air space and process Confirmation Packets for all the passengers booked so far. We do, however, expect to have all Confirmation Packets mailed by the first week of December for reservations made prior to October 30. For new reservations, please allow a month after the deposit is received by Image Tours for processing and mailing of Confirmation Packets.
New Policy for Extensions
Due to changes in the airlines fees and policies, it is now necessary for us to charge a fee in each direction when clients deviate from the scheduled tour dates. This fee will be charged in addition to extension costs and also for clients not using our extension accommodations but departing early or returning later for independent travel before or after their tour. This fee will not apply to Land Only reservations. Any passengers that have requested extensions prior to October 30, 2009, will not be charged the fee, unless they change their departure or return travel dates.
