Your insurance should include cover against COVID-19 and other health related incidents which may affect or curtail your holiday. This will not form part of your Package unless explicitly stated within your winning details email.

We strongly recommend that you familiarise yourself with the advice from your national authority for overseas travel before departing.

We shall have no liability to you or any member of your party for any refunds, compensation, losses, costs, expenses or damages you incur in connection with the matters described above or if you or any member of your party are unable to travel or make use of all or part of your booking because of these matters.

Flights:

We will arrange for you to enter into the following contract directly with the airline concerned: (i) where the flight is booked by us on the airline’s website and not by one of our third party suppliers, you agree to be bound by the website terms of use when we enter the airline’s website in response to your search request or request to book; and (ii) you will be bound by the airline’s terms and conditions upon your receipt of the Booking Confirmation. 

You are advised to read these carefully prior to requesting us to book your flight. Except where the flight forms part of a Package. We accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into with the airline, or their acts or omissions, or for the flight service itself. The airline may provide a booking confirmation directly to you by email and in such cases we will be unable to access or alter your booking. As such, any amendments to your booking must be made by you, directly with them.

The airline may send correspondence from time to time. We shall inform you of any important matters of which we are made aware that relate to your booking (for instance, schedule changes) and how this might impact upon other holiday arrangements.

Operating Carrier Information: In accordance with EU Regulation (EC) no. 2111/2005, we are required to bring to your attention the existence of a ‘Community list’ which contains details of air carriers that are subject to an operating ban within the EU Community. The Community list is available for inspection at transport.eu

You must reconfirm your flight details within 48 hours of departure by checking your airline’s website for any travel updates, including any possible schedule changes or cancellations.

If your flight time has changed, please ensure you travel to the airport with enough time to accommodate this change.

Amendment charges on the holiday are subject to change at any time.

Please note that amendment fees are non-refundable and amendments can only be requested by the lead passenger on the booking.

DFA Advice and your cancellation rights:

Please visit the Department of Foreign Affairs Website (“DFA”) website to review the latest travel advice about your holiday destination.

Please note that when determining whether or not the cancellation rights described in the paragraph above have arisen, we consider the DFA’s advice. However, this is not the only factor we take into account in determining whether these cancellation rights have arisen. 

Ultimately, the existence of these cancellation rights will depend on the particular circumstances which exist at your holiday destination. It may be that the relevant circumstances do not significantly affect the Service Providers’ ability to perform the Travel Services that form part of your Package.

It may also be the case that we or our Service Providers may be able to make arrangements which address the issues identified by the DFA. In such circumstances, you will not have the right to cancel your Package.

Changes and Cancellations to your Travel Services:

We and the Service Providers reserve the right to make changes to your Travel Services at any time.

Most changes are minor changes and we and the Service Providers will endeavour to pass on to you information regarding any minor changes before you depart. 

Other than providing such notification, we shall have no further liability to you in relation to minor changes.

Insolvency Protection:

In accordance with the requirements of the Package Travel Directive or the local applicable law in the country of residence of the passenger(s), Holiday Sun prizes are fully protected and subsequently the balance of all monies received by us, including repatriation costs and arrangements, arising from cancellation or curtailment of your travel arrangements due to the insolvency of Holiday Sun Limited.

The respective laws according to the country of residence of the passenger(s) usually only require us to provide cover for Package & Linked Travel Arrangements, there is no requirement for Financial Protection of day trips or single elements, and none is provided unless local law requires such.

These Terms and Conditions apply from 1st Janurary  2026.
