  • PAYMENT TERMS

    The booking party agrees to pay the full deposit and final payment amounts as detailed on the invoice number (identified above) before the due dates specified on the invoice. Failure to make any of these payments in a timely manner may result in cancellation of the booking party's trip.

    All credit card payment incur a 3% processing fee. The booking party can avoid this fee by paying via QuickPay by Zelle, check, or wire for the land portion only. A credit card is required to hold the fares for flights, and the booking party will not incur the 3% fee for the flight portion of the booking.

    Amounts quoted in foreign currency are subject to currency fluctuations as of the date of payment processing.

    Fares, rates, and availability are subject to change until payment is received. The booking party understands that if he/she chooses to send a check, that rates may fluctuate during the time it takes for the check to reach the 6 Degrees office.

    6 Degrees 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.

    Flight confirmation is subject to availability and prices are subject to change after the date of deposit, including price increases in the price of a seat, price for baggage, applicable fuel surcharges, or an increase in a government imposed fee or tax.

    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.
  • CANCELLATIONS AND CHANGES

    Any changes by the booking party after the date of booking will incur a charge of $75.

    The booking party acknowledges the cancellation terms as detailed on the invoice identified above. Further, the booking party acknowledges that he/she has been notified in writing of the itinerary items that are non-refundable upon booking. The booking party understands that if he/she cancels the trip after booking, 6 Degrees is under no obligation to refund these amounts.

    The booking party agrees to review all travel documents for accuracy upon receipt, and to contact the agent on record at 6 Degrees within seventy-two (72) hours if he/she has any questions/changes. Failure to notify 6 Degrees within this period shall constitute a waiver of any claim regarding accuracy of the travel documents.

  • PASSPORTS AND VISAS

    The booking party understands that if traveling internationally, he/she and any travel companions must have a valid passport and, depending upon the destination and the origin of each traveling person’s passport, a visa may need to be obtained. Passport and visa information may be obtained by contacting the Travel Advisory Section of the U.S. State Department at (202) 647-5225 or by visiting the State Department's Web site at www.state.gov. The State Department can also advise on dangers in areas the party might be traveling. Non-U.S. passport holders should be sure to contact the embassies of their destination and transit countries to obtain entrance requirements. To obtain medical information, you may contact the Centers for Disease Control. The CDC's Web site is www.cdc.gov.

    Passport copies are required to confirm international air reservations.
  • LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY

    6 Degrees is not the source or supplier of the travel services being booked under these terms. Instead, it is acting solely as an agent for the actual suppliers of such services. 6 Degrees has no special knowledge or information regarding any supplier insolvency or unsafe conditions. The suppliers whose names appear in the information supplied are those who are actually responsible for providing these travel services. By signing the 6 Degrees Booking Terms & Conditions, each party agrees to the use of those suppliers, and also agrees to indemnify and hold 6 Degrees, its employees and independent contractors harmless from any claims arising from, or any damages, costs or loss incurred as a result of the following:

    (1) any supplier failing to provide the travel services booked, failing to comply with any applicable rule, procedure or law, or committing any negligent act or failing to perform any act that causes any injury to person or property, damage, delay or other inconvenience;
    (2) any conditions, actions, or omissions occurring that are beyond the reasonable and direct control of 6 Degrees;
    (3) any travel disruptions, missed connections, cancelled flights, and/or other related problems that the party may experience;
    (4) any arrangements made directly with a supplier or another travel company or any problems, direct or indirect, or delays that result from any arrangements made separately from 6 Degrees, including but not limited to AirBnB bookings, flights or hotels booked individually and/or on reward points, or excursions bookings;
    (5) any cancellations or any changes to the vacation of the party due to War, threat of War, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, technical or maintenance problems with transportation, changes of schedule or changes in operation decisions by airlines (resulting in cancellations or delays), or other circumstances amounting to force majeure;
    (6) any problems resulting from oversized baggage or baggage exceeding weight limits;
    (7) any decompression effects or illness as a result of flying after diving or for any other reason, regardless of surface interval;
    (8) any passport or visa problems any member of the party might experience in any country;
    (9) any changes the supplier makes to facilities or activities.

    Discounted fares typically involve restrictions and changing any aspect of the travel arrangements may result in the payment of additional money.

    Each airline has specific rules and requirements in regards to baggage size, weight, and even design. It is the responsibility of the party to make sure that baggage brought on any flight adheres to the size, weight, and design requirements of the airline. Smaller planes or helicopters often require smaller and lighter baggage. Airlines will likely charge fees for baggage that exceeds weight and size requirements. On smaller planes and helicopters, oversized baggage or baggage that is too heavy may not be allowed on the flight for safety reasons. If any item, terms, or conditions of this document are found to be invalid or illegal, all other remaining items, terms, and conditions will still apply.
  • 6 Degrees strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance to cover certain risks inherent in travel, including, but not limited to, supplier bankruptcy and the inability to travel due to a medical or personal emergency. Certain suppliers may require the purchase of travel insurance and 6 Degrees will advise the booking party of those suppliers when necessary. 6 Degrees is not a licensed insurance broker, and sells policies as a service to our clients. All questions related to travel insurance policies must be directed to the travel insurance company.
