Buy Travel Insurance

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Plaza Travel offers access to many optional products and services to enhance every travel experience. Options such as travel insurance protect passengers and their investment, but are NOT automatically included in the cost of an itinerary to protect against third party default, delay, interruption, cancellation, medical emergency, lost luggage, illness and more. The purchase of travel insurance is not required in order to purchase any other product or service offered by Plaza Travel.

Please select one of the travel insurance options below:

Yes, I agree to purchase travel insurance from TravelGuard or Travelex Insurance Services.

Yes, I have purchased vendor's travel insurance from: and understand it does not provide coverage for vendor's default.

No, I understand my trip cost DOES NOT include travel insurance, and choose not to purchase it. (Among the consequences of declining to purchase travel insurance, I understand if I cancel or interrupt my trip for any reason, portions of this trip may not be refundable and supplier cancellation penalties will apply resulting in the loss of monies up to the full cost of my trip investment.)

CODE SHARE DISCLOSURE: The operating and marketing identities of all transporting air carriers in my itinerary were identified prior to purchase.

E-TICKET EXPIRATION: E-tickets expire one year from issue date unless carrier fare rules in my itinerary fare provide otherwise.

INSECTICIDE NOTICE: All passengers are referred to always check the list of countries that require airlines to treat the passenger cabin with insecticides prior to the flight or while on the aircraft on the DOT's website, as this list is updated from time to time: http://www.dot.gov/office-policy/aviation-policy/aircraft-disinsection-requirements.

POTENTIAL PRICE INCREASE DISCLOSURE: I understand that Plaza Travel will make every effort to honor the price as originally quoted, however, under certain circumstances additional costs by a supplier or government may be imposed due to an increase in the cost for one or more of the travel components. Prior to full payment, prices including USA air transactions could increase for certain travel services, including the following: a seat, carriage of passenger baggage, applicable fuel surcharge or an increase in a government imposed tax or fee. Prices including USA air transactions will not increase after making full payment, except for charges resulting from government-imposed taxes or fees. Certain suppliers reserve the right to increase prices to cover increased costs, fuel surcharges, tariffs and taxes, and to reflect fluctuations in foreign exchange markets. I understand that Plaza Travel advisors will make every effort to notify me of any pending cost increase of which they are made aware. If I (or anyone in my party) decide to change any portion of my/our confirmed arrangements prior to departure, Plaza Travel will attempt to assist me/us at an administrative charge of $150.00 per change. I expressly acknowledge acceptance of these conditions applicable to my purchase and authorize Plaza Travel to charge my credit card for such additional amounts. This consent applies to all travel arranged by Plaza Travel for me that includes scheduled air transportation, and may be revoked at any time with respect to future travel for which I have not yet made payment. Five (5) years following the date of execution, this consent expires.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: On behalf of myself and all members of my traveling party, I agree to the Terms and Conditions at //www.plazatravel.com/terms/

BAGS: Tips Related To Bags: http://airconsumer.dot.gov/publications/bagtips.htm  I know where my bags are checked, and realize my bags may be checked only to one of my intermediate stops rather than my final destination if:

• I must clear Customs short of my final destination, or
• I am taking a connecting flight involving two airlines which don't have an interline agreement (e.g., Southwest Airlines does not transfer bags to other carriers).

Hazardous Materials In Baggage: Beginning January 1, 2015, federal law requires Plaza Travel obtain each passenger's acknowledgement of the following notice before ticketing:

(1) US federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in my luggage or on my person. A violation can result in five years' imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C. 5124). Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives and radio-active materials. Examples: Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals.

(2) There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in my luggage and certain smoking materials carried on my person. For further information contact the relevant airline representative(s) on your itinerary. Restrictions on hazardous materials are listed http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items.

INDIVIDUAL ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS. Each foreign country holds different views of past criminal offenses, whether within or outside of their boundaries. If I or anyone in my party has a current or past offense, and we are unsure how the country we are traveling to (or through) views that offense, it is advised to contact that country directly for entry and exit requirements. (See: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_4965.html) For example, if traveling to or through Canada, Americans with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) record it is advised to always check whether current rules exclude admission, and potential waivers. (See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/inadmissibility/index.asp)

VISAS: Plaza Travel neither controls nor warrants the issuance of visas related to applicable travel. Should a visa not be issued, Plaza Travel is not responsible for lost payments made toward the contemplated trip.
