Payment by credit card at our online store
is made possible with OTP Bank’s secure card acceptance system using SSL encryption
protocol. When paying with a card, you will be redirected to OTP Bank’s payment site, which means that the transaction itself takes
place on a site operated by the Bank in accordance with the requirements and security regulations of international card companies, rather
than at our online store. We will thus be unable to access or otherwise acquire your card details or data of the pertaining bank account,
in any form.
Be sure to have your card ready. In order to complete your payment, you will need the following information:
• Card Number (A 13 to 19-digit number embossed or printed on the front of your card.)
• Expiration Date (A date in mm/yy format, embossed or printed on the front of your card.)
• Card Verification Code (The last 3 digits in the signature area on the back of the card [CVV2 or CVC2]. If your card does not carry a
Verification Code, you will need to leave the pertaining field on the payment site blank.)
We currently accept the following cards:
• Visa® (embossed)
• MasterCard® (embossed)
• American Express® (embossed)
• Electronic (unembossed). Acceptance of this card type for online purchases is subject to the issuing bank. In case the bank
issuing your Electronic card authorised its use for online purchases, you are welcome to use it in our store. For more details,
please contact your bank. Naturally, all cards issued by OTP Bank are accepted.
• Maestro® All Maestro cards are accepted at OTP Bank’s online payment site regardless of the issuing bank. As the only
condition for acceptance, your issuing bank must also support the use of Maestro cards in e-commerce transactions. Before
making a purchase, you are advised to consult with your bank.
In order to further enhance the security of online card use, OTP Bank has introduced its Verified by Visa/MasterCard Secure
Code (VbV/MSC) service. This entails the issuing bank providing the cardholder with an additional means of identification that
gets verified during the transaction, thus accurately confirming the identity of the card’s user.
If your issuing bank does not offer any VbV/MSC services, or you have not requested it, the payment process will remain
unchanged. Our store will redirect you to OTP Bank’s site, where you will need to enter your card details (card number,
expiration date, verification code), after which payment for the purchased items/services takes place.
If VbV/MSC services are available at your issuing bank, and you have opted in, the payment process will be different.
You will still need to enter your card details (card number, expiration date, verification code) via the OTP Bank payment site.
After this step, however, you will be automatically redirected by the Bank to the appropriate site of your issuing bank, where
you will need to have your identity confirmed. Once your identity has been successfully confirmed, the payment transaction
will resume and you will get a notification after it has completed. As the last step, you will be redirected to our online store. If
you are unable to have your identity confirmed, the transaction will be cancelled.

These booking terms and conditions cover all booking made on this site and they vary depending on whether you make a booking with us for a package holiday or flight only, accommodation only or other separate travel arrangements.
If you book Individual Components with us, we will make the booking as agent for the relevant supplier(s) (“Travel Provider”) (e.g. the airline, hotel supplier, insurance supplier or other ground supplier) and your contract will be subject to the supplier’s own terms and conditions which could limit or exclude liability to you, often in accordance with international conventions. Copies of the supplier’s terms and the international conventions are available on request.
If you book a flight only with us your contract will be direct with the airline shown on the ticket, as soon as we have issued you with a valid ticket our contract with you, directly, has been fulfilled.
A contract will come into existence between us only once we accept your booking and we receive your deposit (where permitted) or full payment via cleared funds. We reserve the right to refuse, at our sole discretion, any booking. For online bookings, the contract will come into existence upon acceptance of the booking conditions presented at the end of the booking process and once we have received full payment via cleared funds.
We reserve the right to cancel any booking if we have made a mistake in relation to the price. We will ensure that we notify you of such mistakes within 24 hours of your booking, provided your travel has not started yet.
Please note that all services offered are subject to availability.
It is your responsibility to ensure that any information which you give us is accurate and that information which is given to you by us or any of our suppliers is passed on to all members of your party.

3.0 : Flights
Flight times shown are provisional and may be subject to change, as per the Principal’s booking conditions. For all flight bookings please reconfirm your flight times 48 hours prior to departure as per the Principals/airline’s instructions. This applies to outward and homeward journeys, as changes to flight times may be made during your time abroad. We cannot be held responsible for you missing flights if you have not followed these instructions. The recommended minimum check-in time for international flights is 120 minutes prior to departure and for domestic flights, 90 minutes before departure. Additionally we recommend that you contact your airline on the day of travel to ensure that your flight is operating as per schedule.
We strongly recommend (particularly if you are flying Economy class), that you check in early if you have particular seat requests. this site has no control over the allocation of seats, even if pre-booked with the airline, and can make no guarantee that specific seats will be available on departure.
Most flights are now ticketless and you should ensure that you have your flight reference number as detailed in the confirmation we email to you for your flight. Some flight providers will require that you check-in on line, please refer to your airlines website for further information.
Many low cost carriers require that you print your boarding pass at home and bring it with you to the airport. this site cannot be held responsible for additional airport charges for failure to do this.
Seat availability and pricing is at the principal’s discretion and is subject to availability. Please note that prices can fluctuate. Every care is taken to ensure our online systems are up to date and correct. Please be aware however that as we use third party data, there may be occasions where the prices we show are incorrect or inaccurate. Please accept our apologies for any accidental misrepresentations on this website or other affiliated sites. If your chosen flight isn’t available for any reason we will contact you immediately and offer alternatives. Alternatives may include changing airlines / routes, increased cost for the original flight requested or a full refund with no penalty or administration fee.
Airlines may charge for additional services such as checked baggage, airport check-in, preferred seating, in-flight entertainment (if available), food, drink and snacks etc. Any charges for these additional services are not included in the price of your flight ticket and must be paid either to this site in advance of departure date to avail of any discounted rate or to pay the airline directly. this site is not responsible for any additional costs incurred and advise you to contact the relevant airline to add any additional services and verify charges.
Flights must be used in the order set out in your itinerary; any failure to use the ticket out of order could invalidate the rest of the ticket.
this site is not responsible for the costs of any transfers between airports or terminals that you may incur unless otherwise specified clearly and in writing.
The times given are based on the 24 hour clock system, are approximate and based on outbound flights. They may vary depending on flight schedules, type of aircraft, weather conditions etc., and are indications of the hours spent actually flying (excluding time on the ground during stops en-route or when changing aircraft) and are therefore given for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation.
Regulations vary with each airline, but some will refuse to carry women who will be 28 weeks or more pregnant on the date of return travel. If booking on-line you must check with the airline concerned and consult your doctor prior to confirming your booking. Please inform us about your pregnancy in every case. We also need to know the actual time of the pregnancy at the time of the travel.
Infants must be 6 weeks old or more to travel by air and must sit on an adult’s lap. Bassinettes can be requested, however, there is no guarantee that one can be provided. If you are booking on-line we suggest that you contact us to request a bassinette. Infants who turn 2 years old before the return flight will be required to have a seat and a child fare must be paid. This cannot be booked on-line and we suggest that you contact our call centre prior to booking on line for such reservations.

Once received you will be notified of any penalties and we will request a confirmation of your acceptance of the penalties, the refundable value and your confirmation to cancel any active flight segments.

this site does not provide package or holiday recommendations, we simply provide interchangeable flight and hotel combinations as separate components. We provide descriptions of hotel accommodations along with locations. We assume no responsibility (express or implied) for the suitability or quality of the travel products and services, selected by you, as featured on this site.
We offer star ratings as per the official star rating of the hotel. You should be aware that standards can vary between hotels and accommodation of the same class in different countries and even in the same country. Different countries have different standards; a 3 star hotel in one country is not necessarily equivalent to a 3 star hotel in another.
Check-in / Checkout times – Generally guests can check into a hotel or other accommodation around 2pm and check out at 11am, local time. However, local variances may apply. Should you require more precise timings or an earlier check in or later check out, please contact us.
All pre-payable local taxes will be collected in the total price show, however, some cities do apply a local hotel tax that can only be paid locally. These taxes do vary and it is not possible for us to include these in the package price.
Images – Whilst we endeavour to ensure that property images and descriptions of amenities and facilities displayed on this site are an accurate and up to date representation of the properties, we cannot guarantee this always to be the case as we obtain this information from our Travel Suppliers. The images and information are provided to give a general ‘feel’ for the hotel and may not be an exact representation.
Images of room types do not necessarily represent the bed configuration of the room being purchased. For example, a triple room in North America may consist of one double bed and one single bed or a double room in Austria may consist of two single beds. Also, there may be an additional charge for extra beds or cots. Please contact the hotel directly to confirm the exact bed configuration before purchase if required.
Breakfast and transfers are not included unless otherwise stated.
In the event of availability or quality issues with your hotel, we will use our best endeavours to relocate you to the same or superior category of accommodation. If you do not accept the alternative accommodation, you may cancel the booking and we will refund less any fees. Should you wish to re-book a different property at a higher price, you will be liable for the additional cost.
If you have any quality or overbooking issues with your hotel upon arrival or during your stay, you will need to contact the Duty Manager in the first instance to resolve the issue. Should he/she not be able to solve your problem , you will need to contact us at your earliest convenience so that we may use our best endeavours to relocate you to the same or superior category of accommodation. this site will not be responsible for any additional cost incurred due to quality or overbooking issues if you do not contact us and give us the opportunity to re-book you. Any additional costs will only be paid by this site if pre agreed by us and we have confirmed to you in writing or via e-mail.
this site will not liable for the failure or improper performance of any of the travel arrangements or suppliers if the failure or the improper performance is due neither to any fault of ours nor to that of another travel supplier, because—
(a)the failures which occur in the performance of the contract are attributable to the consumer
(b)such failures are attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for, and are unforeseeable or unavoidable; or
(c)such failures are due to—
(i)unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond the control of the party by whom this exception is pleaded, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or
(ii)an event which the other party to the contract or the supplier of services, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall.
We do not accept responsibility for changes or cancellations that are due to unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. These can include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions or governmental action.
In the event that you make any alteration to your hotel booking (including, but not limited to, cancellations, refunds and amendments) this site reserves the right to charge you an administration fee of 25 EUR per booking to cover the administration costs incurred by this site. These charges do not include any charges imposed directly by the Travel Supplier or hotel. Credit card fees and booking fees are non-refundable in the event of cancellation.
4.1 : Changes to or Cancellation of your Flight + Hotel Package by you
If you wish to change or cancel your Flight + Hotel booking then please call the this site Customer Services team. We will endeavour to amend or cancel your booking, however, many flights and hotels used in Flight + Hotel bookings are booked at discounted rates and are, therefore, non changeable and non refundable. Any change to a flight or hotel may require the purchase of a new flight or hotel booking. You will be liable for all associated costs of a new booking.
this site reserves the right to charge an administrative fee for all cancellations and changes.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU TAKE OUT APPROPRIATE INSURANCE TO COVER YOU FOR SITUATIONS WHICH MAY REQUIRE YOU TO CANCEL OR CHANGE YOUR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS.
4.2 : Changes to or Cancellation of your Flight + Hotel Package by us or other Travel Suppliers
this site reserves the right to make changes to your Flight + Hotel Package where such changes are occasioned by one of its Travel Suppliers, for instance an airline cancelling a flight or a hotel closing down. We will notify you as soon as we can, if there is sufficient time before your departure. This will be via email and/or telephone.
If you are notified of any Major Changes to your Flight + Hotel Package after we have confirmed your booking but before you travel, you can either accept these new arrangements (and cover any additional increase in price from your original booking), buy another Flight + Hotel package (and cover any additional increase in price from your original booking) or cancel your Flight + Hotel Package and receive a full refund from this site less a Euro 25 administration fee per person on top of any charge made by an associated supplier such as a hotelier.
Major Changes shall include: a change in your departure or arrival flight by more than 12 hours; a change in the length of your holiday; or a change in the airport you depart or arrive from (except where the airports are in the same cities), a change of accommodation to a lower standard.
this site will not be liable to you for any compensation if forced to cancel or make any changes to your Flight + Hotel Package as a result of events outside our control and which neither this site or its Travel Suppliers could reasonably foresee. Events outside our control include: war; threats of war; government intervention, terrorism; riots; civil unrest; natural and nuclear disasters; fire; actual or potential weather conditions; health risks; industrial disputes; technical problems with transport; closed or congested airports; and any force majeure events.
Where as a result of such an event occurring after your departure a significant part of your Flight + Hotel Package cannot be provided, you will be offered a suitable alternative by the Travel Supplier, if available. If a suitable alternative is not available, or for good reasons, you do not accept the offered alternative, we will return you to your place of departure. Again we would strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive insurance to cover such circumstances.
4.3 : Baggage
You will usually be permitted a free checked baggage allowance and a free cabin baggage allowance, the limits of which may differ by airline, class and/or route. Please note low cost carriers such as Jet 2, Easyjet & Monarch do not have a free checked baggage allowance, for more information please refer to their websites. The amount of checked baggage you are allowed depends on your class of travel/destination. Several leading carriers have now introduced additional charges for checked baggage on either a piece or weight basis. It is recommended that cabin baggage is kept to a minimum. Extra charges may apply for checked baggage in excess of the permitted allowance. Please ask the airline for more specific information as these rules vary from time to time. You can refer to www.iata.org/bags for information and links. For safety reasons dangerous articles must not be packed in checked or cabin baggage. Restricted articles include, but are not limited to, compressed gases, corrosives, explosives, flammable liquids and solids, radioactive materials, oxidising materials, poisons, infectious substances and briefcases with installed alarm devices.
If your baggage is lost or stolen you must report this direct to the airline, preferably before you leave the airport. For additional information on lost or delayed baggage please refer to http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=2226
5.0 : Visa, health and other travel documents
By making a booking on this site you accept that we are unable to provide any information regarding visa and travel documentation on line. You are responsible to ensure that you hold the correct travel documents and visas required for the route booked and for your final destination.
Our website offers scheduled flights from all the major airlines. Please note that in certain cases these flights may be indirect and fly via other airports. The connection airports will be clearly shown on the results screen and if you click “more flight detail”. You are also responsible for ensuring that you have the correct visa(s) for any en-route intermediate stops as well as for your final destination.
If you have any concerns regarding visas please contact our call centre before making an on-line booking. this site cannot be held responsible for an airline refusing to board you, your being turned back to your origin point en-route or any additional costs incurred as a result of any failure by you to hold the correct visa or other required documentation.
Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that all travellers booked (including children and infants) hold a valid passport document. this site cannot be held responsible for any financial loss incurred due to passports not being valid or not being processed in time by the relevant embassy, or any other immigration formalities not complied with.
this site is not qualified to give any information regarding health requirements. We suggest that you contact your doctor for all questions regarding health requirements for your final destination and any en-route intermediate points.
6.0 : Insurance
We recommend that all passengers take out adequate travel insurance. It is a condition of booking with most Principals that adequate insurance cover is arranged in order to cover you and your party against the cost of cancellation by you; the cost of assistance (including repatriation) in the event of accident or illness; loss of baggage and money; and other expenses. Some airlines or Principals may prevent you from travelling, if proof of insurance cannot be provided. We can introduce you to suppliers of suitable cover if required. We accept no liability arising from your failure to obtain adequate cover. If you have booked your insurance through a supplier introduced by us, you will receive a confirmation policy document prior to travel.
7.0 : Special requests and assistance
As part of the booking process for flight tickets or hotels you are given the option to enter the details of any relevant frequent flyer programme of which you are a member. Please note that any such frequent flyer programme is subject to the terms and conditions of the airline through which it is offered. Those terms and conditions may not give rewards on all types of fare and class of service. Please contact the airline or hotel in charge of your frequent flyer or hotel loyalty programme if you are unsure of its terms and conditions. Please note that our Travel Suppliers have their own rules and regulations with regard to loyalty cards. If you have any questions, please contact them directly.
In relation to the ‘special requests’ options relating to any product (e.g. dietary requirements, room types, disabled facilities, child seats etc.), this site does not guarantee any such requests but will pass these requests on to the Travel Supplier/hotel. It is your responsibility to confirm with the Travel Supplier or hotel whether such special requests can be fulfilled. In the event you have been charged a separate fee for a special request which can then not be fulfilled by a supplier, a full refund will be made to you for this.
Expectant mothers: Airlines have different rules regarding the upper limit beyond which they would permit a pregnant woman to fly. As a general guide, almost all airlines decline to fly a woman beyond 36 weeks of gestation. In the phase between 28-36 weeks, most airlines will require that the passenger bring her doctor’s letter stating that she is fit to fly and unlikely to go into labour within 36 hours. The cut off points for a woman carrying twins is likely to be much lower. We advise all expectant mothers to check with your GP before making any travel plans and to provide us with a written confirmation of your pregnancy and your GP’s letter as detailed above which will be acknowledged in writing by us. This will be passed to the airline so that you may be permitted to board the flight without any hiccups. Without this confirmation and GP’s letter in place, you may still be issued with travel documents but we cannot guarantee you will be permitted to fly. As travel agents, we tend to take the word of the passenger as truth when it comes to disclosure of any material fact that may affect the passenger’s booking including if a female passenger is pregnant and how far along in the pregnancy she is. The travel agency places trust in the pregnant passenger to adhere to the Terms & Conditions and disclose the fact of her pregnancy at time of or before booking.
In all cases of special or other requests, please remember that in most cases, the booking is made online or over the telephone and we do not get to meet you. Without meeting you, we cannot establish any material fact as to your disability or pregnancy or other special condition which may or may not be apparent physically. We, therefore, require you to disclose any such facts that may affect your booking to us.
8.0 : Payments
With online confirmed bookings, your card will be debited immediately in order to avoid any loss of fare/holiday booked. Should payment be successfully charged to your card but the bank has not given us a full go-ahead due to a variation with some detail supplied by you, (incorrect billing address; expiry date; issue number; security code or cardholder name), further documentation will then be required in order to verify the cardholder’s credentials. It is highly recommended that you provide this information at the earliest opportunity to avoid loss of booking/fare.
In parties of two or more persons, the person who makes the booking or who makes the payment accepts the responsibility of making all payments to us for all members of the party and will receive the travel documents and other information on behalf of his/her party once all outstanding balances are cleared. Should one or more of the party members decide to cancel, any cancellation charges must be met by the cardholder / lead party member in order to complete the booking and receive travel documents on behalf of the rest of the party. If payment is not received for the cancelled members, travel documents will not be released to the remaining passengers. In most cases, full payment is required at time of your online booking.
In most cases, full payment is required at time of your online booking. In some cases, a deposit payment may be sufficient to hold the seat, hotel, and we shall notify you of the date by which the balance payment is due. It is recommended that balance payments are made by the stipulated time as if you do not pay on time you may lose the booking/fare and be responsible for paying any fare difference. Your final travel documents will only be released to you once full payment is in place.
Any deposit payments made are non-refundable.
Before payment is received in full, this site or the Travel Supplier is not obliged to issue any tickets, confirmations, vouchers, or other travel documents. However, you shall in all cases remain liable for payment of the amounts agreed for the travel products and services ordered. Prior to full payment the cost of services may increase, you will be liable for any increase in cost prior to full payment being received. In all cases we will contact you and give you the opportunity to pay in full to avoid paying such increases.
Payment can be made by all major debit and credit cards. We reserves the right to charge you in addition for any handling fees we or the Travel Supplier incur in relation to bookings made by credit card. You will be notified of the relevant charges at the time of booking. this site reserves the right to pass on any charges relating to card charge backs or payment disputes. If your booking is being paid for with a third party credit card we require written authorisation to be provided by the card-holder.
We reserves the right only to deliver e-tickets, confirmations, e-vouchers or other travel documents to your credit card billing address or e-mail address provided at time of booking when authorised to do so by the credit card issuer. All e-mail addresses used must be valid at the time of booking.
*IMPORTANT: in some cases, the E-Ticket / holiday documentation will already have been issued at the time of booking. This is due to your having chosen an instant-purchase or promotional fare at the time of booking. Such bookings will be issued immediately as otherwise the fare / holiday price may increase or the booking may be auto-cancelled but the E-Ticket / holiday documentation will not be released to you until the requested documentation is received by us. In cases where the documentation is not received by us and tickets / holiday documentation have been issued, a 100% cancellation charge will be applied.
Documents may be sent to us in one of the following ways:
Via fax : +36 1 235 3143

8.1 : Declined payments
Should payment be declined, we shall contact you for another card or payment method. It is highly recommended that you provide alternative payment details at the earliest possible opportunity in order to avoid loss of booking and/or increase in price.
8.2 Third Party Payments / Overseas Cardholder Payments
If you are travelling but are not the cardholder (third party booking) OR if you are an overseas cardholder (with a billing address outside of the UK), we shall require the cardholder to expressly authorise the payment to us. This will include providing proof of cardholder identity in one or more of the following ways:
• Copy of front/back of the card used for payment with all numbers blacked out except the last 4 numbers
• Signed letter of authorisation from cardholder
• Recent bank statement showing cardholder name & billing address (you may black out all other confidential information)
• All confidential information is destroyed after verification.
9.0 : No Show
A ‘No-Show’ occurs when you fail to turn up on the day of departure for your flight or at your hotel on the booked arrival date and where you have not cancelled your flight/hotel /train or other reservation in advance of the departure date. Any such cancellation would need to have been received by this site via email. Please note that, in relation to flights, a ‘No-Show’ for a flight may result in your ticket being cancelled by the airline and therefore may not be refundable. Any re-issue or change of date will be at the discretion of the airline. Any un-cancelled, non-arrival at a hotel will be treated as a ‘No-Show’.
In some cases when you are unable to take your flight and the ticket is non-refundable, you may be eligible to claim some or all of the taxes charged at the time of purchase. If you wish to make a claim for any taxes that may be refundable please do so in writing to the following address: Malév Air Tours Ltd. Könyves kálmán krt. 12-14., Budapest, H-1097.
