Due to newly introduced security measures, any name change including minor spelling corrections may require airline reservations to be canceled and rebooked.

rebooking. Subsequent name corrections will be subject to an airline-rebooking fee of up to $200 per ticket. Journeys by Exotic Inc. will not be held responsible for the denial of services by a carrier due to any

US DEPARTMENT OF STATE TRAVEL ADVICE

From time to time, the US Travel Department (www.travel.state.gov) issues Travel Advisory Notices giving advice regarding travel to a particular destination, which you should consult. If their advice to US citizens is to defer travel we may have to cancel your travel program. If their advice is against non-essential travel we will not usually cancel

your travel program, but will be happy to give our opinion of the possible risks involved. The decision to travel or not in this case will be yours, and our normal cancellation conditions will apply. You should also check your travel insurance to confirm how a Travel Notice affects your policy.
