Domestic Flights:
The programs quote the average price of flights with approximate timings. Requests for specific flight times or changes to previously booked reservations may result in changes to the total price of the package.
International Flights
Palma Tours can assist you with international flights if needed. However, from our experience, international flights are best issued from point of departure where the client has access to a wider range of price options and availability. The only way to pay for the international flights booked by Palma Tours is with a bank transfer to Palma Tours Account.
Special Requests:
If the Client has any special requests, he should inform the company at the time of booking. The Company and its suppliers will try to satisfy such requests, but, as these do not form part of the contract, the company does not guarantee to do so, including for pre-bookable seats. If the Company confirms that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or refers to it on the confirmation invoice or elsewhere, this is not a guarantee to fulfill it

It is the traveler’s sole and exclusive responsibility to have all required documents for the trip. The traveler must have a valid passport and any required visas according to the itinerary chosen. The traveler shall not be entitled to any refund if he or she fails to comply with the above requirements. Travelers will have to pay any expenses resulting from their failure to produce any required documents, in which case the voluntary cancellation policy shall apply. The same shall apply if any country’s authorities deny the traveler entry into their country.
