All FTCs will be valid for 12 months from date of issue. Where a holiday is terminated mid-holiday due to a Force Majeure event, if we provide you with any alternative services or assistance (such as hotels or travel) then you agree to pay for these costs. In return, Travel Link will provide a pro-rated FTC for the unused portion of your trip less any third-party costs incurred.

Cancellation by Traveller
Travel arrangements for any member of the party may be cancelled at any time by written notice by the person who made the booking.
If notice of cancellation is received by Travel Link before final payment is due , the deposit will be retained If cancellation is made after final payment is due cancellation fees will apply .
Notice of cancellation must be made in writing directly to Travel Link or through your Travel Agent.
If a person in a party cancels and there is a room change caused by this cancellation (such as a Twin/Double to Single, or Triple to Twin/Double), charges for the new room type will be the responsibility of the remaining party.
The charges detailed in the Summary Booking and Cancellation table (which includes GST), representing costs incurred by Travel Link in cancelling your travel arrangements, will apply when notice of cancellation for your holiday is given after the booking is confirmed.
If a guest fails to join the holiday on the day of departure, cancellation fees will be 100% (unless the guest notifies us of the delay and joins the holiday later at their own expense).
Cancellation fees as per the Summary Booking and Cancellation table apply to additional accommodation and/or chargeable transfers prior to and after the holiday, itinerary extensions or cruise reserved through Travel Link.
Cancellation fees and charges will include any amounts that we have paid or have contractually committed to pay to third parties to deliver your travel arrangements which we cannot reasonably recover (for example payments made or due to airlines and hotels). Any payments we have made to third parties will only be refunded to you once we have deducted the above cancellation fees and charges and once we have actually recovered the amounts from the third parties. All cancellations fees as per the Summary Booking and Cancellation table are additional to any cancellation fees or other charges that may be levied by your Travel Agent.
If the reason for your cancellation is covered under your insurance, you may be able to reclaim these charges from your insurer. You are responsible to make the claim to your insurer.
