THE AGENCY will charge a handling fee/airline fee per passenger that may vary depending on routes, or other possible surcharges applied by the airlines that we are not aware of until the purchase. These surcharges may be applied, e.g. on credit card payments, baggage check-in or online check-in.
However, before the confirmation of your purchase you will be informed of the final price of your reservation broken down by concepts.
4.2.3.- Changes and Cancellations.
Once the air ticket reservation is made, it is subject to the conditions established by each airline regarding cancellations, changes and refunds, depending on the contracted fare. The travel agency does not intervene in the determination of the conditions of the fare, nor in the percentages of penalties that apply in case of cancellation and/or modification of the flight, since these conditions are, in any case, imposed by each airline:
- Changes: THE AGENCY will charge a handling fee per passenger in addition to the penalties of the airlines themselves.
- Cancellations: THE AGENCY will charge a handling fee per passenger in addition to the penalties of the airlines.
In both cases, the handling fee/airline fee charged will NOT be refunded.
4.2.4- Request for Special Services
Each airline establishes its own rules and conditions for the treatment and provision of special services, however, and in any case, when the customer requires the provision of any of these services, such as unaccompanied minors, wheelchairs, pets on board, sports equipment, etc. must expressly request it at the time of booking.
The travel agency will act merely as an intermediary transferring the special service request to the airline company, but the final provision of this type of services is conditioned in any case to the prior and express confirmation of the same by the airline company.
The travel agency is not responsible for the confirmation or denial of these services by the airline and does not have information on possible price supplements that may be required by the airline for the provision of these special services.
For this reason, and for any information that the client may require in relation to this type of service, it is recommended that he/she contact the airline directly for reconfirmation.
4.2.5.- Baggage.
Checked baggage shall be delivered to the bearer of the baggage check.
In the case of damage to baggage in international transport, a written claim must be submitted to the carrier immediately upon discovery of the damage, and at the latest within 7 days from the date of delivery; in the case of delay, the claim must be submitted within 21 days from the date the baggage was delivered.
Airlines, in compliance with U.S. Government requirements, are legally obligated to allow U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) access to certain travel and reservation data of passengers flying to/from or transiting through the U.S. This data is used primarily to prevent and combat terrorism, organized crime and other serious transnational criminal offenses.
Baggage conditions depend on each company and route and may vary.
You should consult the website of the airline holding the contract of carriage for more information about your baggage.
Prohibited products in carry-on baggage.
For security reasons, there are a number of items that are prohibited in the cabin of an aircraft. Therefore, they must be checked as hold baggage (provided they are not also prohibited from being carried in the hold of the aircraft). These prohibited items include:
Liquids: the amount of liquids or substances of similar consistency that passengers may carry with them when passing through security checks at EU airports is restricted.
Firearms and weapons in general.
Weapons or sharp or edged objects.
Blunt instruments.
Explosive and flammable substances.
Chemical substances and toxic substances.
Security personnel may deny access to the boarding area and the cabin of an aircraft to any passenger in possession of an article which, although not considered prohibited, arouses their suspicion. In exceptional circumstances, a passenger may carry a prohibited article provided that the security department of the airport of departure has been informed in advance and has authorized the carriage, and the aircraft commander has been informed about the passenger and the prohibited article he/she is carrying.
In any case, the prohibited article(s) must be transported under secure conditions.
Prohibited products in checked baggage.
Some products, apparently harmless, can be dangerous on board an aircraft if they are included in the baggage.
During the flight, variations in temperature and pressure, and the movement of the aircraft itself, may cause liquids to leak or some items to ignite. Therefore, you should not carry, for example, the following products in your baggage:
Explosives (which includes detonators, fuses, grenades, mines and pyrotechnic products).
Gases: propane, butane (which includes small camping gas cylinders).
Flammable liquids (including gasoline and methanol, paints, solvents, glues and lighter charges).
Flammable solids and reactive substances (including magnesium, matches and lighters, fireworks and flares).
Oxidizers and organic peroxides (such as bleaches and abrasives).
Toxic or infectious substances (rat poison, infected blood).
Radioactive material (including isotopes for medical or commercial use).
Corrosives (such as automotive batteries).
Engine parts that have contained fuel.
If you are transporting firearms, you must go to the Weapons Intervention Office at the airport of departure to obtain the necessary authorization. Weapons must be packed in a suitable case and will be returned to you at the Weapons Intervention Office at the airport of arrival.
Certain electronic equipment, such as laptops or cell phones, may interfere with aircraft systems and affect flight safety.
Check with the crew if you can use them during the flight.
Destruction, loss or damage to baggage.
The airline is liable for damage caused in the event of destruction, loss or damage to checked baggage when the event causing the damage occurred on board the aircraft or while the checked baggage is in the custody of the airline.
Go immediately to the counter of the airline or its handling agent (airline ground handling company) to make the corresponding protest at that moment, filling out the form called Baggage Irregularity Report (P.I.R.), a necessary requirement to record the incident occurred and for processing by the airline.
Baggage check-in.
It is recommended to check in at the airline counter 90 minutes before if your flight is domestic and 2 hours or 120 minutes before if your flight is international.
For more information, we recommend that you consult the websites of the airline company in their baggage conditions.

4.2.7.- Travel with minors.
They must carry their valid National Identity Card or Passport. If the minor is not accompanied by his/her guardians, he/she must also carry their legal authorization. The regulations of some airlines require that all minors (check minimum age with each airline) to travel accompanied by an adult and duly documented with ID card and / or passport. In case of non-compliance with these regulations, these minors will be denied boarding with these airlines.
4.2.8.-. Boarding Card.
We advise you to print the boarding pass, in order to present it at the checkpoint and at the boarding gate. In case of RYANAIR and EASYJET, if you do not present it printed, the airline will charge you a penalty.
If you are not checking baggage and only carry-on baggage, with the printed boarding pass, you can go directly to the boarding gate without having to go through the check-in counter* You are advised to consult the airline's conditions regarding the characteristics of carry-on baggage that can be taken on board the aircraft.
4.2.9- Authorizations and visas.
Travelers are especially informed that the conditions for granting visas and entry/exit/transit authorizations are sovereign issues of each country, so they can be varied, imposed or eliminated at any time, so we strongly recommend to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Consulates/Embassy of the country/countries of destination and transit in order to check the necessary requirements.
5. CREDITABLE CONDITIONS.
5.1 Please note:
A valid travel document is required to be carried by all traveling passengers (including infants and minors).

To ensure compliance with all regulations, passengers must carry a valid passport (and visa, if applicable) or a national ID issued by an EU/EEA government on all journeys. Fines, penalties or expenses resulting from non-compliance with this requirement shall be borne by the passenger.

5.2.- Minors:
In order to safeguard the safety of minors, Instruction 10/2019 of the Secretary of State for Security has been issued, regulating the procedure for granting permission to travel outside the national territory for minors.
In the case of unaccompanied minors or minors traveling with third parties, in addition to the DNI or passport, the elements that must be included in the signed declaration of the travel permit are established, through a form that can be obtained in the Operational Units of the General Directorate of the Police, the General Directorate of the Civil Guard, Courts, Notaries and City Councils.
For the purposes of an air service, minors are considered to be those passengers who on the date of the flight are under 18 years of age. Minors are classified into several groups:
Infants: Passengers who have not yet turned 2 years of age on the date of the flight. They do not occupy a seat on the aircraft and travel accompanied by an adult, paying a variable percentage of the adult fare.
Children: Passengers who are 2 years old but not yet 12 years old on the departure date of the flight. They occupy a seat on the aircraft and pay a variable percentage of the adult fare.
Youth: Those passengers whose age is between 12 years old and 18 years old on the departure date of the flight. They occupy a seat on the aircraft and pay the adult fare.
As a general rule, minors travel accompanied by an adult, although they may travel unaccompanied, in which case a series of conditions/restrictions common to most airlines apply, without prejudice to the fact that each airline may add any other specific conditions for these specific cases.
Passengers who have not reached 5 years of age may not travel under any circumstances without the company of an adult, nor may they request in-flight assistance services. Similarly, requests for in-flight assistance cannot be made for minors unaccompanied by an adult when the flight is a code-share flight, i.e. operated by an airline other than the one with which the reservation was made. Some airlines (including low-cost airlines) do not offer assistance services for minors under 14 years of age.
In the case of minors between 12 and 18 years of age flying alone to international destinations, it will be necessary to request the assistance service and/or make a special request for them to be accepted on the flight if the in-flight assistance service is not necessary.
In any case, it is essential in the case of minors traveling unaccompanied by an adult, that such service is expressly requested at the time of booking and must be expressly confirmed by the airline prior to the departure of the flight.
5.3.- Large Family:
In order to be considered as a large family, the members of the family unit must be Spanish or nationals of a Member State of the European Union or of any of the remaining States party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) and have their residence in Spanish territory.
Also those families will be able to benefit those families in which, having their residence in another Member State of the European Union or that is part of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, at least one of the ascendants of the familiar unit exercises an activity as self-employed or employee in Spain and provided that they have a document of large family issued by one of the Spanish Autonomous Communities.
The members of the family unit who are nationals of other countries will have the right to the recognition of the condition of large family under the same conditions as Spanish nationals, provided that all the members who give right to the benefits referred to in this Law are residents in Spain.
The large family discount is compatible, and in its case, the corresponding percentages will be cumulative, to the discounts established for the air transport of the residents in the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla.
In order to be able to apply the large family discount, it is necessary that all passengers in the reservation are entitled to the large family discount. If any of the passengers cannot certify their large family status, reservations must be made separately.
For those passengers who have a discount ticket with the Large Family discount, they must be in possession of the original and valid document proving their status as a large family (official title of large family or equivalent individual document, in force, issued by the competent autonomous community).

In this case, if this charge or additional charge is made against the travel agency, the latter may pass this charge directly to the client.

b) The residence certificate must be issued according to the model defined in Annex I of Royal Decree 1316/2001, popularly known as “travel certificate”. This certificate is valid for six months.
