Every single hotel we feature in our brochure has been carefully selected to represent the very best of their type, whether deluxe five-star resorts or boutique city centre hotels. our standards are set high, so you will generally find that we feature only a small proportion of the hotels available in a city or region. but for some of our destinations, our experts have come across a hotel which not only satisfies our exacting criteria, but also offers something a little extra, that makes them a personal favourite. Exactly what this might be varies depending on the destination. For a city centre hotel, it could be an unrivalled location, so you are literally on the doorstep of the main attractions. it might be outstanding architecture or an especially renowned restaurant. it could be as simple as a beautiful terrace to relax on, or especially warm and welcoming service.

All holidays are subject to availability and these booking conditions. in the event of any conflict between these booking conditions and any of the brochures, price booklets, separate publicity material or our web site, these booking conditions will prevail. You are recommended to read these booking conditions carefully and in the event that there is anything, which you do not understand, contact Etihad holidays (or your travel Agent if you have booked via an agent) for clarification. You need to be aware that these conditions contain a limitation of our liability to you and of our obligations in relation to any holiday, which you book. these conditions do not govern your contract or affect your rights relating to any third party whose services you may use on your holiday. when you have booked your holiday, paid a deposit and we have issued a confirmation or receipt to you or to your travel Agent and you have signed our booking form, a contract exists between you and us. the first named guarantees that he or she has full authority to make the holiday booking on behalf of all customers named on the holiday booking and guarantees to pay all sums which are or may become due in relation to such holiday. the purchase and sale of the holiday shall take place (or shall be deemed to take place) and come into effect in the uAE or Gcc, whatever the circumstances of your booking. notwithstanding any conflict of law principles, these booking conditions and any contract between you and us shall be governed exclusively by the Laws of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the federal Laws of the uAE, and the civil courts of the uAE in Abu Dhabi shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising over our contract with you. 2. how to book A holiday booking can be made through Etihad holidays retail Shops, Sales offices or directly with the Etihad holidays call centre via our toll free number (800 2324) or through a travel Agent. when a booking is made via a travel Agent, all communication with Etihad holidays must be made via the travel Agent. in that case, all monies paid by you to the travel Agent are held by the travel Agent as your agent until the booking is accepted and confirmed by Etihad holidays. 3. Payment A booking form must be completed and signed by the first named being a person aged 18 years or over and a non-refundable deposit paid to Etihad holidays of 10% of the total package cost. Should your holiday incorporate a specialist holiday component such as cruise companies, Disneyland resorts, Ski & Safari operators and some hotels a full payment deposit will be required and will be advised at the time of booking. if the booking is made 16 days or less prior to departure full payment will also be required for your holiday booking. All figures quoted (unless otherwise specified) will be in uAE Dirhams (AED). if a deposit has been paid the full balance must be settled no later than 16 days before your departure date. if we do not receive the balance by the due date we will treat the booking as cancelled by you and you agree to pay the cancellation charges as described in section 5.2 of these booking conditions. - Passport, visa and health protection fees - cots and food for infants - Meals unless otherwise specified - Excursions or entrance fees unless otherwise specified - overseas airport departure charges payable locally - Porterage, personal expenditure, tips, laundry, hotel extras - transport cost to your departure airport unless specified - holiday insurance 5. Changes or cancellation by you 5.1. Changes if you wish to change your booking after a deposit has been paid, the first named should contact their travel Agent if they booked via a travel Agent or Etihad holidays if they booked directly and we will try to meet the request. if we are able to make the change requested, you agree to pay a non-refundable administration fee of AED 200/- per change if the change(s) is / are made 16 days or more before departure in addition to any applicable ticket change fees. changes made 15 days or less before departure will be treated as a cancellation and the charges in section 5.2 will apply. we may, at our sole discretion, waive charges due to be made if the changes increase the cost of your holiday and do not involve a change of destination / departure date. Important notes: Many suppliers, particularly airlines, cruise companies, Disneyland resorts, Ski & Safari operators and some hotels do not permit us to change names or travel dates and impose full cancellation charges. we will pass these on to you, in addition to our administration charges. Some accommodation types, particularly self-catering, cruise ship cabins and hotel rooms with reductions for 3 + people, are priced according to the number of occupants. if fewer people travel than originally booked there will be extra charges to pay, which will be advised to you when you make the changes. 5.2. Cancellations if you or any member of your party wishes to cancel your booking once a booking has been confirmed and an invoice or receipt has been issued, the first named must notify their travel Agent (or Etihad holidays direct if the booking was made directly with Etihad holidays) in writing. the cancellation charges you will be required to pay will be calculated from the date we receive written notification. Please note we cannot refund deposits, amendment fees or insurance premiums. we strongly recommend that you take out full holiday insurance which includes cancellation cover. we incur costs from the time you make your booking and you agree that if you cancel your booking, you will compensate us for our expenses and losses as per the table and paragraphs below or if greater (for example if cruise companies, Disneyland resorts, Ski & Safari operators and some hotels are concerned) the cost borne by us as a result of your cancellation.

All refunds will be processed within 21 days of the presentation of proof of purchase documents to Etihad holidays. 8.
