Travel Suppliers:
We are the third party with the traveler dealers. Our collaborators like Hotels, car suppliers, airlines, and other service providers will be termed as ‘Traveler Suppliers’.
In any case, you have directly agreed with them on their terms and What a Holiday does not have anything to do with that. You will have to keep complete assurances of the validity of the product etc. to yourself for avoiding any bad circumstances.
We declare that What a Holiday is not holding any responsibility for the products that are provided by the travel suppliers. Any assurance, any guarantee, or any complaint that you have to make regarding the products provided by the traveler suppliers, you would have to make it to them. They are responsible and you should contact them directly.
Travel Suppliers Conditions:
The following are the conditions which relate to all the products and amenities which are booked through our site.
The Travel Contractor’s terms and conditions (including the airline’s terms and conditions of carriage) will apply in addition to those set out here. The Traveler Suppliers terms and conditions may or may not include the supplies related to payment processes, evasion, accountability, terminations, variations of bookings and repayments (if available), and any other limitations. As you move through the site, you will see contacts through the terms applying to the specific Traveler Dealer Products. You are directed to read all of those terms very carefully. However, do refer to your specific traveler supplier for getting full particulars as to the appropriate terms and conditions.
You are accountable for fulfilling airline or other travel supplier circumstances in relation to check-in times, reconfirmation of flights, or any other things. There are certain terms and conditions which apply to the air prices. For example, ‘economy-restricted’ tickets are mostly not changeable and non-refundable.
Flight Booking Terms and Conditions:
Use EDCT to set out for the journey. For traveling internationally, you need to get to the airport at least 120 minutes before. If you are flying domestically then you need to reach the airport at least 90 minutes before.
Do remember to reconfirm your flight at least 72 hours before you actually have to travel.
If you do not re-confirm the flight then you can miss your flight because it can get terminated. It is common amongst the popular airlines that they have the right of cancelling the whole bookings.

It is totally between you and the airline through which you got the seats booked. We are also not responsible for the cost of remission between the airports and stations.

You will also be protected by the organizers ATOL and that ATOL holder’s name and number will be detailed in your flight booking confirmation. When we apply our flight package as an organizer then refer to Clause 5 of Section B which will be applied. When your flight is ATOL protected then we or suppliers of the services will provide you with services you have bought or provide you with any other suitable alternative. In the case, in which neither we nor the supplier can do so for the reasons of insolvency then you will provide an alternative ATOL holder. You will get the services which you bought or any other suitable alternative at the same price.
