You are required to have obtained your boarding pass and to have presented all checked baggage before the carrier's cut off/check-in deadline. For security reasons, you will be denied boarding if you have not checked in within that time. For charter flights, you must check-in a minimum of one hour prior to scheduled departure, otherwise you will be denied boarding. Passengers must be available at the boarding gate by the boarding gate deadline time noted on your boarding pass. Failure to respect the deadline may result in the reassignment of any pre-reserved seats [refunds not applicable] and the cancellation of your reservations.

Should you be denied travel, it is your responsibility to make alternate arrangements.

Vacation Express cannot be held responsible if you miss your flight by failing to comply with these requirements.


19: Hotel Check-In and Check-Out Conditions

The check-in time for most hotels is 3:00 pm and check-out time can be as early as 11:00 am, regardless of your arrival or departure times. Please refer to your hotel accommodation voucher for actual check-in and check-out dates as this may differ from your departure and return date. Check-in policies differ by hotel and will therefore vary. Many hotels will offer hospitality areas for travelers who may be without their room for some time; however this arrangement is solely at the discretion of the hotel. Travelers wishing to make arrangements for a late check-out and baggage storage must arrange this service directly with the hotel. We do not accept responsibility for any inconvenience or loss arising from these types of arrangements. Some hotels may require you to leave a credit card imprint or cash deposit upon check-in to provide security for miscellaneous charges such as telephone calls.
