If you are booking travel for someone else it is up to you to obtain consent from that individual to share their personal information. All fraudulent purchases will be investigated and prosecuted.

Pricing

All prices within the Altair Travel website are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and are marked “CAD” or “CDN”. Sometimes, the prices are in American dollars and marked “USD”. There are circumstances where you may be able to change the currency.

All prices on the Altair Travel website are subject to change without prior notice. Any changes in pricing that may occur before, during or after a purchase, as a result of a tour operator change, are not the responsibility of Altair Travel.

When a booking is complete, the prices CANNOT be changed or adjusted. Pending bookings are not included. Full payment is required. Prices and availability on packages and flights is not guaranteed until confirmed (payment is processed). Should there be a discrepancy between the initial advertised price shown on the website and that of the actual tour operator selling price; the latter, confirmed-final price shall prevail.

Some airport fees, merchant airline fees with certain carriers, taxes and baggage fees, where applicable, may not be included in the pricing. Baggage fees vary depending on the airline the customer is booking with. It is the responsibility of the customer to read the individual baggage handling policies of their airline. It is advised to secure your seat in advance if available/offered by the airline. Seat Selection is an additional fee charged by the airline.

Payment

Online payments can be made using Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit cards. Please note that sometimes American Express may not be available as a payment option. Other international credit cards are not accepted.

The credit card holder on the booking is the person with whom Altair Travel has the contract/agreement to provide travel services to and is the person with whom Altair Travel is liable to.

If you are using a third party credit card (the use of a credit card that does not belong to any of the passengers on file) the booking may not be confirmed immediately. All fraudulent purchases will be prosecuted.

Reservations are only confirmed once a verification process is conducted that mitigates the risk of fraud for that booking. Rates and availability are subject to change until the booking is confirmed (payment is processed).

Payment for online bookings is required in full at the time of purchase. When a booking is complete, the prices CANNOT be changed or adjusted.
