It seeks to guarantee the correct usage and handling of users' data.

BEST PRICE TECHNOLOGY

Our state-of-the-art booking engine uses artificial intelligence impersonating a travel agent's search for finding the best fare and connection. Sometimes we break the travel on a given point and add two or more individual airfares together or use some innovative algorithm to get you the best deal. Also, if you are searching for a one-way airfare and if this fare is higher than a round trip, we book and issue a round-trip for you where you only use the outbound ticket and can ignore the return flight. Our knowledge and experience of 50 years of ticket issuance are implemented in this new automated technology.
We continuously update and improve this and pride ourselves on having the most advanced booking engine on the Internet.

TICKETING, CHARGES, AND REFUNDS

We charge you in the currency you have chosen. We currently support 59 different currencies. If your money is not listed, the charge will be done in European Euros (EUR).

Under certain circumstances, customers transacting with payment cards on a cross-border basis may be subject to additional fees levied by your local card issuer. Any query relating to these credit card fees should be taken up with the card issuer.

Most of the tickets offered on our website are non-refundable, non-transferable, and not changeable. However, if the airline allows a full or partial refund, we will assist you in applying for the refund and provide you with a Credit Voucher issued by the airline or, if possible, Skytours. This credit voucher is valid and can be used for future purchases within one calendar year. If Sky-tours issues the coupon, you may use it for any purchase on our website. If the voucher is issued by the airline, you can only use this for a flight with the same airline and for the exact name of the passenger to which the voucher was issued initially.

Our ticketing fees of 65€ per ticket are, at any time, non-refundable, even in an involuntary situation. 

Our agents will handle all refunds. Standard voluntary refunds will be charged at a fee of 65€ per ticket unless you have purchased certain Support levels (Premium-Platinum). 

For involuntary situations, Sky-tours will charge a standard processing fee of 20€ unless you have purchased certain Support levels (Premium-Platinum). 

The refund amounts will be calculated over the base ticket amount; original ticketing fees and other services, such as insurance, will not be refunded. In some cases, the airline might offer a refund in the form of a travel voucher; in this case, Sky-tours will not be able to provide a cash refund to the customers.

FLIGHTS

We request and suggest all our customers reconfirm their flight schedule 24 hours before their original departure time. The airlines may change or cancel the flight schedule due to security reasons; sky-tours.com does not have control over the flight operations and will not be responsible for any loss that may occur by the action of the airlines. 

Some airlines do not offer a refund when the change is up to 90 mins; all significant changes beyond 90 mins are subject to the passenger's acceptance and may be rejected to claim a refund of the affected flight(s). 

In case you have more than one airline involved in your itinerary, different airlines may not take responsibility for the cancellation/changes done by another carrier even if the total journey is booked together or the connection is affected; general fare rules of the non-affected carrier may apply.

Sky-tours.com, as your booking agency, must follow the airline's rules and will not be responsible for the cost applied by the other carrier in this situation.


TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION

To fly, you must provide the required official documents (passport, identity card, visa, etc.). In addition to your passport, some countries require a visa for arrival and transfer.

The specific administrative authorities will notify you of the formalities you need for a trouble-free stay (passport, visa, and vaccines). It is your responsibility to comply with these formalities. You cannot request a reimbursement if you are denied boarding because you have not presented the required documents (passport, visa, vaccination certificate, etc.). It is the passenger's responsibility to have the necessary documents for traveling.


CANCELLATIONS & SCHEDULE CHANGES

All airlines periodically adjust their flight schedules. It is solely the passenger's responsibility to check flight times and reconfirm reservations within 72 hours of departure with the airline. Sky-tours will not be responsible for any missed flights due to schedule changes by the airlines. If any schedule change has occurred to your flights, you might be asked by the airline to contact our 24/365 support center for assistance; in this case, please get in touch with us, and we will help you through the rebooking or refund.  


FREE ASSISTANCE TO ENFORCE YOUR PASSENGER'S RIGHTS
