5. Airlines

MTT is happy to book your airfare. Unless otherwise notated all advertised offers are for land only and do not include international airfare.

Quoted airfare rates are subject to change until paid in full. Assigned seating may be limited and may not be available on every flight or departure date. Since most airlines now charge for assigned seats, there may be supplements in additional to the quoted airfare to confirm assigned seats. MTT is not responsible for unforeseen flight delays or changes due to war, political unrest, acts of God, epidemics, or pandemics. Air schedules may be subject to change at the discretion of the airline. MTT does not accept liability in the case of any passenger being denied boarding by any airline carrier due to the carriers overbooking of a flight.

6. Instant Purchase Non-Refundable Airfare:

Instant purchase non-refundable airfare requires full payment at the time of booking. Once a ticket is issued, there can be no fluctuation in price due to an increase in government taxes or in airline fuel surcharges. We recommend purchasing optional travel insurance at the same time so that your non-refundable airfare may be covered if you cancel your trip for a covered reason. Upon payment, tickets will be issued immediately (during normal business hours) and once issued, are non-refundable. Once tickets are purchased, some airlines may allow for changes to the ticket and specific fee's and allowances vary by the airline. All tickets include a Mission Travel Tours administration fee, which hold no airline reissue value. The administration fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
