A). Changes
If you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example your chosen departure date, your chosen route or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the party leader or person or entity that paid for the booking. You will be asked to pay a minimum administration charge of €50 per person and any further cost we incur in making this alteration. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer you are to your departure date. Changing dates or numbers travelling are major changes which may have to be treated as cancellations and subsequent rebooking and could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements. Please be aware that most travel providers will not allow a name change and this will be considered a cancellation.
For flight inclusive bookings, any changes may be treated as cancellation and cancellation charges will apply in accordance with individual airline policy.
B). Cancellation
Should you need to cancel your holiday once it has been confirmed, the party leader or person or entity who paid for the booking must immediately advise us in writing by fax or e-mail. We will then send you a document advising you of the cancellation charges and any other applicable costs which you must approve within the stated time in order to confirm your request. Any approval received outside the stated time frame allowed may result in additional costs, of which you will be informed by e-mail. It is essential that you return your written approval as otherwise your original booking will stand. Subject to receipt of your written approval of the above document within the stated time, your notice of cancellation will only be effective when received by us in writing.
The cancellation of your booking for whatever reason does not exempt you from paying all the sums that you owe to Pera.
The cancellation charges payable vary depending on the suppliers concerned. Subject to any special provisions applicable to the arrangements confirmed, the following scale of charges will apply where you have booked Individual Components or a Pera package. Where the cancellation charge is shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling, excluding booking fees and amendment charges. Booking fees and amendment charges are not refundable in the event of cancellation.
The scales show the maximum charges applicable. In practice the charges will often be lower. Charges depend on the date we are notified of the cancellation in writing.
Cancellation and administration charges will be deducted from any refund payable in the event of cancellation, and will be charged to you in the event of an alteration.
Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges (less any applicable excess) under the terms of your insurance policy. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned.
Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price, discount(s), concessions or included services agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly.
Any interrupted or shortened stay, or any service not actually taken up by you, for whatever reason, (including in the event that you do not arrive at the starting point or fail to arrive in time), does not entitle you to a refund.
Any unused tour vouchers for hotels, B&B’s, car rental or any other unused services are not exchangeable or refundable.

D). Cancellation of Individual Components
Air Tickets
Non-refundable tickets Some Airline tickets are paid for in full at the time of booking and in case of cancellation, unless otherwise stated, they are non-refundable, non-changeable and non-re-routable.
In respect of any alteration to an APEX ticket or certain other special fare tickets, the airlines treat a name change as a cancellation and as such will not refund any monies. Where an outbound portion of your flight coupon is not used the return sector will be automatically cancelled by the airline and no automatic right to a refund exists for such part-used tickets. All other partly used tickets are normally non-refundable and cancellations made within 24 hours of departure are non-refundable.
Refundable tickets Air Tickets returned to us for a refund are subject to an administration charge of 10 Euro per tickets on domestic lines and 50 Euro per ticket on international lines, irrespective of the number of tickets returned and you will be required to pay a per ticket cancellation charge imposed by the airline, pursuant to their terms and conditions. There is no automatic right to a refund and, when you return an air ticket to us, we will arrange for it to be presented to the respective airline to assess eligibility for a possible refund in accordance with the relevant airline's terms and conditions.
If a recoverable air ticket refund is less than the above administration charge, the ticket will be deemed to be fully non-refundable. An administration fee of 50 Euro per ticket will be levied on any non-refundable ticket where a tax refund application is made by us at your request and on your behalf. If the recoverable tax components for your ticket are less than the administration charge the ticket will be deemed to be fully non-refundable. Refunds will not be paid to you until they have been received by us from the relevant airline. In the case of airline ticket refunds this is normally 10-12 weeks from the point the tickets are submitted for consideration to the airline.
Bus and Train Tickets
Bus and train tickets for intercity busses and trains in Turkey are paid for in full at the time of booking. Bus and train tickets returned to us for a refund are subject to an administration charge of 10 Euro per ticket, irrespective of the number of tickets returned and you will be required to pay a per ticket cancellation charge imposed by the bus or the railway company pursuant to their terms and conditions. There is no automatic right to a refund and, when you return a ticket to us, we will arrange for it to be presented to the respective company to assess eligibility for a possible refund in accordance with the relevant company's terms and conditions. We recommend that you return such air tickets to us by special delivery post as we do not accept responsibility for documents mislaid or lost on the way.
If a recoverable ticket refund is less than the above administration charge, the ticket will be deemed to be fully non-refundable. Refunds will not be paid to you until they have been received by us from the relevant company.
Hotels
Cancellation charges vary from hotel to hotel. Changes and cancellation terms and conditions will be specified for each hotel separately upon the confirmation.
In addition to the hotel’s cancellation charges, an administration charge 10% of room price (but min €30 per room) will be payable to PERA where you cancel an accommodation only booking.

Customer will be notified at the time of booking if any special event is taking place at the requested booking period, and 100% cancellation charges will apply to dates of stay during the special events.
Any changes or modifications for dates of stay during the special events period will be treated as cancellations and will incur charges as above. The only exceptions to this will be where additional rooms/beds/cots /nights are added to existing confirmed rooms or nights.

If not specified differently in the confirmation invoice:
- Between confirmation & 120 days prior the arrival day only non-refundable deposit will be charged; 100% rooms can be released without any penalty
- Between 119 & 90 days prior the arrival day 50% of hotel space can be decreased without penalty. Any further decrease will be subject to “one night no-show” for each cancelled room. If the group is totally cancelled the penalty would be 30% of the total expected hotel revenue

If any member of your party is prevented from traveling, the person(s) concerned may transfer their place to someone else (introduced by you) providing we are notified not less than two weeks before departure with full details of the names, addresses and any other required information / evidence of the replacement person(s) and any replacement person(s) satisfy any applicable conditions relevant to the holiday (for example, children’s ages must be in the same range).
Where a transfer to a person of your choice can be made, all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers as a result together with the following amendment fees must be paid before the transfer can be affected. Any overdue balance payment must also be received. For flight inclusive bookings, the charges levied by the airline concerned must be paid. For airlines which do not permit name changes after tickets have been issued for any reason, these charges are likely to be the full cost of the flight and no refund will be available for the original flight booking.
The person who makes transfer or transferee must pay the following minimum amendment fees (per person transferring) in advance:
| Over 30 days before departure | : €20 |
| Between 30 and 21 days before departure | : €46 |
| Between 20 and 8 days before departure | : €90 |
| Up to 7 days before departure | : €115 |
In all cases where additional costs are payable to effect a transfer (for example, non-changeable flight ticket, etc.), either the person who makes transfer or transferee must pay PERA the full amount concerned. Personal insurance is not under any circumstances refundable or transferable.
Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors in advertised details both before and after bookings have been confirmed and cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavor to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so.
Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to make a “significant change”. A significant change is a change made before departure which, taking account of the information you give us at the time of booking and which we can reasonably be expected to know, we can reasonably expect to have a major effect on your Pera Air and Tourism booking.
Significant changes are likely to include the following changes when made before departure; a change of accommodation to that of a lower official classification or standard for the whole or a major part of the time you are in Turkey, a change of accommodation area for the whole or a major part of the time you are in Turkey; in the case of tours, a significant change of itinerary missing out one or more major destination substantially or altogether.
A). We promise to make sure that the arrangements we have agreed to make perform or provide as applicable as part of our contract with you are made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. This means that, subject to these booking conditions, we will accept responsibility if, for example, you suffer death or personal injury or your contracted arrangements are not provided as promised or prove deficient as a result of the failure of ourselves, our employees or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care in making, performing or providing, as applicable, your contracted arrangements. Please note, it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. In addition, we will only be responsible for what our employees and suppliers do or do not do if they were at the time acting within the course of their employment (for employees) or carrying out work we had asked them to do (for suppliers).
B). We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following:
- The act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or
- The act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable or
- “Force majeure” as defined in clause 11 above.
C). Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised in our programs and we have not agreed to arrange them and any excursion you purchase directly. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, we only promise to use reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater or different liability to you.
D). The promises we make to you about the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract - and the laws and regulations of Turkey - will be used as the basis for deciding whether the services in question had been properly provided. If the particular services which gave rise to the claim or complaint complied with local laws and regulations applicable to those services at the time, the services will be treated as having been properly provided. This will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and regulations of the Turkey which would have applied had those services been provided in the country of your residence. The exception to this is where the claim or complaint concerns the absence of a safety feature which might lead a reasonable holiday maker to refuse to take the holiday in question.
E). As set out in these booking conditions we limit the maximum amount we may have to pay you for any claims you may make against us.
Where we are found liable for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions (including money), the maximum amount we will have to pay you is €50 per person affected unless a lower limitation applies to your claim under this clause or clause (G) below. You must ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect your personal belongings.
F). For all other claims which do not involve death or personal injury, if we are found liable to you on any basis the maximum amount we will have to pay you is one and a half the price you paid us for your holiday (excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges) paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total unless a lower limitation applies to your claim under clause (G) below. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you have not received any benefit at all from your holiday.
G). Where any claim or part of a claim (including those involving death or personal injury) concerns or is based on any travel arrangements (including the process of getting on and/or off the transport concerned) provided by any air, sea, rail or road carrier or any stay in a hotel, the maximum amount of compensation we will have to pay you will be limited. The most we will have to pay you for that claim or that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier or hotel keeper concerned would have to pay under the international convention or regulation which applies to the travel arrangements or hotel stay in question. Please note: Where a carrier or hotel would not be obliged to make any payment to you under the applicable International Convention or Regulation in respect of a claim or part of a claim, we similarly are not obliged to make a payment to you for that claim or part of the claim. When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question.
H). Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sum(s) of any description (A) which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you or (B) which did not result from any breach of contract or other fault by ourselves or our employees or, where we are responsible for them, our suppliers. Additionally we cannot accept liability for any business losses (including without limitation self-employed loss of earnings).
In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your holiday whilst in Turkey, you must immediately inform the supplier of the service(s) in question and our office. Any verbal notification must be put in writing and given to the supplier and the Operator’s representative as soon as possible. Most problems can be dealt with quickly. If you remain dissatisfied, however, you must write to us within 15 days of the end of your holiday giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint. Only the party leader should write to us. Any claim must be made individually (one per booking). We cannot accept collective claims or petitions. Please send any correspondence to: contact@peraair.com
Where we act as agent, we will pass your complaint or claim to the relevant accommodation provider or any other supplier who may deal with it directly. Any assistance we offer in resolving any such complaint is provided without any liability on our part.
For any PERA package, we cannot accept liability if you fail to notify any complaint or claim entirely in accordance with this clause except where the claim involves death, personal injury or illness caused by our negligence.
Acknowledgement of receipt of your communication, and that it is being duly processed by the relevant department, will be sent to you within a maximum of 14 days. In most cases the final response will depend on how soon a response is received from the accommodation provider / supplier in question. We will provide you with a full response within 28 days or, if this is not possible, a detailed explanation for the delay. No claim or request for reconsideration will be accepted by telephone. A written communication must be sent to the relevant department in order that the claim can be re-examined. You must bear the costs of informing us of your dissatisfaction.

Air carrier liability for passengers and their baggage: This information notice summarizes the liability rules applied by Community air carriers as required by Community legislation and the Montreal Convention.
Compensation in the case of death or injury: There are no financial limits to the liability for passenger injury or death. For damages up to 100,000 SDRs (approximately €120,000) the air carrier cannot contest claims for compensation. Above that amount, the air carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving that it was not negligent or otherwise at fault.
Advance payments: If a passenger is killed or injured, the air carrier must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16000 SDRs (approximately €19,300).
Passenger delays: In case of passenger delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for passenger delay is limited to 4150 SDRs (approximately €5,000).
Baggage delays: In case of baggage delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is limited to 1000 SDRs (approximately €1,200).
Destruction, loss or damage to baggage: The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to 1000 SDRs (approximately €1,200) In the case of checked baggage, it is liable even if not at fault, unless the baggage was defective. In the case of unchecked baggage, the carrier is liable only if at fault.
Higher limits for baggage: A passenger can benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration at the latest at check-in and by paying a supplementary fee.
Complaints on baggage: If the baggage is damaged, delayed, lost or destroyed, the passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as soon as possible. In the case of damage to checked baggage, the passenger must write and complain within seven days, and in the case of delay within 21 days, in both cases from the date on which the baggage was placed at the passenger's disposal.
Liability of contracting and actual carriers: If the air carrier actually performing the flight is not the same as the contracting air carrier, the passenger has the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of an air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier.
Time limit for action: Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived.
Basis for the information: The basis for the rules described above is the Montréal Convention of 28 May 1999, which is implemented in the Community by Regulation (EC) No 2027/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No 889/2002) and national legislation of the Member States.”
