Frequently asked questions about COVID-19

How will my query be answered?

All queries and requests received by form on the website, calls, email, social networks, and others, will be answered as soon as possible by email.

Pay attention in case our message ends up in the “Spam” tray.

When will I receive a response about my current process?

We are working as quickly as possible to respond to the numerous requests we are receiving these days. However, due to the current circumstances, it is taking us longer than we would like. This crisis has strongly affected the tourism sector, therefore, we must wait for the measures that our strategic partners are taking in the face of cancellations and postponements.

How can I manage my cancellation or date changes if I have an airline ticket?

In the event of cancellation or date changes in flight reservations, we will have to verify the airlines’ policies. If a refund is applicable, we will proceed to make it to the same payment method used in the purchase. Due to the current circumstances, this process may be delayed.

Please note that airlines have current policies and regulations depending on the travel destination and travel date, therefore changes are constantly taking place and are subject to different regulations and restrictions depending on the rate purchased.

It is necessary to have insurance for future trips. What does it include?

It is advisable to take out travel insurance as a contingency or help outside the country, always taking into consideration that medical treatment abroad, urgent and/or emergency, can incur high costs.

Also, due to this crisis and the future care we must take, it is good to be able to opt for travel insurance that covers possible Covid-19 symptoms.

The general information of the insurance you wish to purchase will be sent by email attached to your travel quote.
