1. e) Cancellations and Modification Policy –Ticket cancellations are governed by our Cancellation and Modifications Policy, which differs from offer to offer. The customer can examine the policy via email before making a reservation. Please contact us by email or calling our toll-free number if you have any questions.

Based on political or environmental changes, we are unable to control the rescheduling of flight timings and itineraries. We are forced to abandon or change confirmed reservations in these circumstances.

We make a serious effort not to interrupt our customers’ comfort, but in the event of an emergency, we retain the right to do so. If there are any changes, we will notify you as soon as possible, and we will be pleased to make preparations that are more suitable for you.

We will offer you at least one flight of equivalent quality to the one you had originally booked ( you will not have to pay any more price). We will repay the difference if the tickets become less priced unexpectedly. It is totally up to you whether you reap the benefits of the other offer that has been made available to you. You will claim a refund if you choose not to accept it.

*Please note that the above choices do not apply if the modification is modest and does not result in a specific delay.

The agent’s administrative and bill fees will be taken from the reimbursement money in the event of cancellations, according to the agreement.

1. f) Insurance – METAIRFARE does not provide insurance services and is not liable for any customer losses that are not covered by insurance. As a result, we advise all passengers to acquire their insurance individually before embarking on any travel. Our customer service representatives can convey you to insurance firms to help you with your trip plans. However, it is the exclusive obligation of the traveler to investigate the company’s reliability.
2. g) Valid Visas, Passports –This is not our obligation to ensure that the consumer has all appropriate visas and passports before departure. To travel by air outside of the United States, you’ll need an authentic passport and a travel visa. The traveler must guarantee that he has the above two and that he also has the other travel papers provided by METAIRFARE based on information provided by the customer.

*Passports valid for six months beyond the projected in your itinerary at the end are required for international trips from the United States to India. Traveling with no visa to a country where one is necessary (India requires at least a tourist visa) might result in jail till you can be returned, which is contingent on the accessibility of return tickets.

It is your obligation to double-check the details of any pre-arrangements that must be made before you travel, and to confirm that you have valid documentation, have received the necessary vaccinations, and have received all necessary permissions. We are not liable for any lags caused by the aforementioned concerns. We shall not compensate you if you are not able to board your scheduled flight due to your failure to match these standards.

1. h) Marketing Materials – METAIRFARE solely uses photos and descriptions to describe its services for the purpose of referrals. We cannot guarantee that the services or circumstances described in our blogs or elsewhere on the site will be available at the destinations depicted.

The material on our site comes from a variety of sources, some of which cannot be completely verified and may be erroneous. As a result, travelers are recommended to use their own judgment.

1. i) Limitation of Liability – METAIRFARE is merely a facilitator and will not be held ACCOUNTABLE for any indirect, incidental, exemplary, or punitive damages (without any limitation). METAIRFARE will not be liable for damage claims that result in a loss of opportunity and exceed the whole sum given by the customer under the agreement.
2. j) Local Customs and Laws – Traveling to a distant country exposes the traveler to new norms and laws that he may not be familiar with. As a result, the traveler must be prepared to deal with the risks. The fact that our services are available means that the traveler understands this and accepts no responsibility for any unjustified experiences he or she may have after disembarking from the plane, or even during the flight.

Disclaimer of Warranties – Unless otherwise noted, all services on offer are provided on a “As Available” basis.

“TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE HEREUNDER TO APPLICABLE LAW, METAIRFARE DISCLAIMS THOSE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, CONVEYED OR SUGGESTED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT RESTRICTED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, ADAPTABILITY FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE, AND ANY WARRANT.” Because your local material law may not allow for the rejection of inferred assurances, the aforementioned prohibitions may not apply to you.

Any modifications in the route or duration of the journey are subject to the flight fare rules. We are free to rearrange flight routes and times owing to changes in environmental circumstances such as weather or as a consequence of political changes.

In the event of significant changes, we will provide advance notice as soon as possible. In this situation, we will provide you with different route options or dates to meet your needs, as well as a package of comparable cost and standard. If you have some time before your flight, we have a few options for you:

You can accept the changed schedule.

You have the option of replacing your vacation with one of equivalent quality. It would be a good offer from us if you had the ability to choose alternate excursions without having to pay any further fees. If your replacement trip is less expensive than the original, we will swiftly refund the difference. If you don’t like the vacation we’ve put together for you, you can decline and choose from alternative options. And you must pay for such arrangements, which means you must pay an additional fee for a package that we do not offer, and we will reimburse you if your package is less expensive than the original.

All of the preceding points are not relevant to small and large adjustments; we will respond to your questions and provide you with compensation and refunds if we owe you any. All depends on the conditions, and in some cases, we may not be obligated to pay you everything. There are always exceptions, so keep this in mind:

If we are compelled to change the flights, no reimbursement will be given to anyone. It can happen as a result of unforeseen and unpredictable events that are beyond our control.

Furthermore, if you commit fraud or failure to comply with company policies or booking terms, no refunds or reimbursements will be given. In this situation, we will be forced to cancel the flight prior warning, and you will not be refunded.

Cancellations and Alterations attributable to Travelers

Due to “force majeure,” we may be required to cancel your flight after you depart and before the completion of your vacation. If this happens, we’re sorry but we won’t be able to offer you a refund until we get it from our suppliers.

If the rules provide for refunds.

Only until we get a return from our suppliers will we process your refund claims.

After you complete your refund request, you will receive an email confirming that our customer care person has received it. This does not imply that you are eligible for a refund.

Refunds can take up to 4-6 weeks to get in your account.

Changes After Purchase:-

Bookings may be canceled on rare occasions due to circumstances beyond our control. While we make every effort to avoid canceling or making changes to reservations, we reserve the right to do so without notice. Some changes are minimal and have little impact on travelers, but others have the potential to disrupt travel arrangements and must be avoided.

These adjustments consider your lodging, departure times, and travel destinations. All of them can be altered to a location that is more easy for you to access, and this will be done in the event that your trip is coordinated by us.

Changes to flight dates and times are subject to availability and payment of a change charge per passenger, as well as any additional costs incurred in between initial total price paid and the lowest overall price available for the new trip.

Kids and babies:-

An infant is a child under the age of two who does not require a separate seat. However, most airlines require you to pay the fare, which is typically 10% of the adult fare.On some flights, children (between the ages of 2 and 11) may be eligible for a ticket reduction.

Pregnancy:-

Pregnant women are subject to several limitations when flying. Different airlines have different limits on pregnant women flying on board planes, which can range from 7 to 30 days prior to the due date. If you are refused boarding, METAIRFARE is not responsible.

Activities such as skiing and surfing require your heart and mind to be stable and strong, and if you are not sufficiently suited to participate in these activities, we advise you not to do so because we will not be responsible for any mishaps.

Travelers will be accountable for their own health, whether it is mental, physical, or otherwise. If a major issue arises, METAIRFARE assumes no responsibility for it.
