The coaches - heaven on wheels

Little extras that go a long, long way....

The handsome exterior of a Glenton Select coach entices you aboard and the extra wide entrance makes accessibility a breeze. Once you’ve settled into your plush leather seat with its reclining back, individual foot rest and hospitality tray, take a good look around....

You will be thrilled by the light and airy feel of the coach and delighted with the panoramic windows – a real boon for those scenic drives through lush countryside or along dramatic coastlines. Whilst on the road you can follow the tour’s progress via the onboard satellite navigation system. Should you tire of admiring your surroundings, we even have a wee library on board with a selection of popular fiction and non-fiction to flick through during your journey.

On Select holidays you receive a premium version of our much-loved Glenton welcome pack along with morning coffee and a pastry on the day of departure. During your holiday, you will be treated to the services of a professional tour guide on one of your excursions.

Finally, on the way home, a lunch stop ensures you have the perfect end to a wonderful break.

We didn’t do coach holidays until we discovered Select – now it’s the only way we travel!

Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements in addition to the charges detailed above. ii. Should you cancel your holiday due to medical reasons and you can support this with the documentation requested by the insurer, you may be able to reclaim these charges, less any excess figure, if the reason for cancellation is covered by your holiday insurance. Advice on how to make your claim, which must be dealt directly with the Insurance Company, will be sent together with a Cancellation Invoice following your written confirmation of cancellation. iii. If any person with whom you are sharing a room should cancel, and you wish to continue with your holiday as planned, we will make every effort to transfer you to a suitable room, if available. If this is not possible, or if this results in any additional charges, we reserve the right to pass on these charges to you, or to cancel your holiday and apply the appropriate cancellation charges. c. If We Change or Cancel Your Holiday i. Material Alterations, Cancellations and Compensation.

Because our brochure details are prepared months in advance it could become necessary, in certain circumstances, to change your holiday arrangements, to amend itineraries, change hotels, alter your UK airport, or to cancel your holiday because it has failed to attract the minimum number of passengers required for the tour or pick-up point (if applicable). Often these are only minor changes, but where a Material Alteration or Cancellation (see point c.ii) becomes necessary outside the date when full payment is due you have the following options: (a) to continue with the holiday as amended or (b) accept an alternative holiday which we may offer or (c) cancel your booking and receive a prompt refund of all monies paid. A refund will become due to you if any alternative accommodation offered to you is of a lower standard than previously advertised. Where a Material Alteration or Cancellation is notified after the date when full payment is due you are also entitled to compensation on the scale set out below, unless this is a result of hostilities, lockout, political unrest, industrial disputes, adverse weather conditions, fire, epidemic or health risk, disease outbreak, or

any other reason of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all care had been exercised. ii. Definitions of Material Alterations and Cancellations.

For the above purposes a holiday will be deemed to be Materially Altered or Cancelled if we make a significant change of resort, a change of accommodation to a lower Period before departure when a material alteration or cancellation is notified

More than 84 days 83 days to 28 days 27 days to 14 days 13 to day of departure

Holidays where full payment is due 29 to 98 days before departure

Compensation per person nil nil nil £5 £5 £10 £10 £20

standard or price, a change of departure date or a change of coach holiday departure point more than five miles from the original. d. Changes to Flight Times As our brochure is published many months in advance any flight times detailed in the brochure, or in any other literature we publish, are for guidance only. Flight times and/or schedules can change, often with little notice, and we reserve the right to substitute alternative airlines, routes and times from those shown if required. Such a change is not a material alteration (see section 2cii) and will not entitle you to cancel your holiday without incurring a cancellation charge. Your final flight details will be sent to you with other important travel information about 10 days before departure and you must check this carefully as soon as it is received. e. Changes to Your Booking and Amendment Charges If, after booking your holiday, you are prevented from travelling and wish to transfer the booking to another person, the company will agree as long as the other person satisfies all the conditions applicable to the package, and subject to both persons accepting joint and several liability for full payment of the package price and the company’s charge of £10 for confirming the transfer and any additional costs imposed upon the company by flight or cruise operators or accommodation suppliers. Any transfer requests within 14 days of departure will however be treated as a cancellation and will be subject to the scale of cancellation charges set out in section 2b above.

Requests for changing the booking to another departure date, hotel, tour, or to amend your departure point/travelling plans, will be treated similarly.

3. Your holiday a. Your Glenton Package

Your holiday includes a number of elements as stated in the brochure. Unfortunately we cannot make any refunds if you choose, or are unable to, take any part of this package. b. Your Holiday Accommodation i. Private facilities are available at certain hotels, some at extra cost, and this is shown in the price panel. Rooms with private facilities (sometimes referred to as En-Suite or Private Bathroom) have bath and/or shower and WC, and some rooms may have a washbasin in the bedroom rather than in the WC or bathroom. ii. There is no additional supplement for a limited number of single-bedded rooms available at our UK mainland hotels.

However, certain hotels may allow single occupancy of double bedrooms and these rooms, where available, will often carry a supplement. iii. Lower floor rooms are defined as rooms on the ground or first floor. We make no extra charge for the limited number available and although every effort is made to comply with your wishes we accept no liability for failure to provide such a request and cannot accept bookings which are conditional upon us fulfilling this request. iv. Any special requests (eg special diets, low floor or adjoining rooms) must be made at the time of booking and printed in the relevant section of the confirmation invoice issued by Glenton to you or your travel agent. If, for whatever reason, this is missing you must contact us immediately otherwise the information will not be passed on to the relevant suppliers.

Whilst every effort is made to comply with your wishes we cannot guarantee that such requests will be granted or that your accommodation will be able to provide the requested services or facilities. We cannot accept any reservation that is conditional upon any special request being satisfied. v. Some amenities and facilities require cleaning, servicing or may suffer mechanical failure at times, and other unforeseeable factors beyond the control of the supplier may affect their availability from time to time. Entertainment as detailed in the brochure may also be affected for similar reasons and therefore it’s frequency and nature may be subject to change. The listing of a ‘Dance Floor’ in a description does not necessarily mean that dancing will be available during your stay. vi. In certain circumstances it may become necessary to change the location of a single overnight stop. Whilst we will do our best to notify you in advance of such a change, we reserve the right to effect such a change without notice. At all times the change of hotel will be of equivalent standard to the original. Few insurance companies will provide cover for loss of luggage or personal belongings stored in an unattended vehicle overnight.

You should therefore take all personal belongings with you at

overnight stops. vii.In certain cases tourist board accommodation categories or star ratings are shown against hotels. Overseas countries have different grading systems, and star ratings may not be equivalent to those in the UK. viii.Some hotels may make an additional charge for the use of leisure facilities. ix. Inclusive Bars: Please note that where drinks are included as part of the holiday package, conditions do apply and the accommodation provider will give full details on arrival. The accommodation provider has a legal duty of care to maintain responsible drinking and will put in place measures to monitor and control as they see fit. All-inclusive packages are designed to allow you to budget in advance and anyone abusing the inclusive bar facility may have this facility withdrawn at any time by the accommodation provider and without compensation. If the inclusive arrangement is restricted or banned by any government agency, court or council in advance of your arrival, you have the right to cancel your holiday and request a full refund but this will be the extent of our liability. c. General i. On full board holidays lunch is not included on the first and last days. ii. Admission fees or guided tours are not included in the holiday price unless expressly stated in the excursion description. We reserve the right to change itineraries and included excursions from those stated in the brochure, where necessary, and this will not entitle you to compensation where such variations are a consequence of non-significant changes to your holiday.

Please note that on cruise holidays onshore excursions incur an additional cost. iii. We reserve the right to prohibit travel should you be experiencing medical symptoms likely to cause ill health to others. It is therefore vital that you ensure you are fit to travel prior to arriving at the pick-up point, port or airport as full cancellation charges will apply should we be forced to terminate your holiday. We also reserve the right to refuse a booking or terminate your holiday and levy full cancellation charges in the event of irrational conduct that is likely to cause anxiety, annoyance, harm or danger to other passengers. iv. Should you leave any belongings at your accommodation or on a coach we will make every effort in tracing and returning them to you, although we do reserve the right to pass on any cost incurred in doing so. v. In the event of any contact being made with us, either directly by you, or by your Travel Agent, on any subject whereby information contained in this brochure is changed, or additional information given, you or your Travel Agent must ensure that the information given is confirmed in writing. No responsibility will be accepted for any loss, damage or disappointment if this procedure has not been followed. vi. On some holidays insurance is included in your holiday at cost. Should you make a claim under your insurance policy we can take no responsibility if this claim is disputed or refused by the insurer or for any additional expense incurred by you in making the claim whether successful or not. vii. Due to the overall weight and space restrictions on vehicles, luggage is limited to one medium size suitcase per person.

Luggage on aircraft or other carriers is subject to the carrier’s terms and conditions, a copy of which can be sent to you on request. It is your responsibility to ensure luggage is fit for travel, sturdy and waterproof. viii.All holidays are sold subject to availability. ix. When travelling abroad food and entertainment may reflect local customs and tastes. x. Responsibility is limited for events which are reasonably beyond our control and unforeseeable. Examples of such events could include traffic or road conditions, unavoidable technical or mechanical transport problems, epidemic outbreaks, weather conditions, disputes, fuel shortages and fire. xi. Glenton has no control over other clients staying in your accommodation. We cannot accept liability for any inconvenience or disturbance caused to our holiday-makers by any other guest or guests staying during the same period.

On Good Companions tours it is impossible for us to ensure in advance that all guests are over the age of 55 and we accept no responsibility for the fact that clients under this age may join our tours from time to time, with or without our consent.

4. Disabled holidaymakers

We welcome disabled passengers on our holidays, but some holidays may not be suitable, in our opinion, for your particular disability. Please ensure that the full extent of your disability is advised in a covering letter. Please also ensure that confirmation of your disability has been acknowledged. If we are not informed of any disabilities in this way we cannot be held responsible for any cost or inconvenience incurred. Should you cancel or terminate your holiday due to these reasons full cancellation charges will apply.

Collapsible wheelchairs are accepted on coaches, with prior agreement, but battery/ motorised models are not on the grounds of safety to staff and other passengers. On cruise or air holidays, onboard policies regarding disabled holidaymakers may vary. If we are not advised of a disability at the time of booking, you may be refused travel.

5. Your travel arrangements

a. Departure Times and Places (Coach Holidays) i. It is only possible for customers to be picked-up and dropped off at the scheduled departure points as listed on brochure pages.

Departure times shown in the brochure are approximate times only and are subject to change. Final travel times will be confirmed with your Final Travel Documents approximately 10 days before departure. ii. If you have not received your travel documents within 5 days of your departure date you must contact us immediately so that they may be re-sent to you or any new details confirmed as soon as possible. We cannot accept any responsibility for any loss or expense resulting if the above procedures have not been carried out. iii. You are responsible for ensuring that you are at the correct departure point at the correct time. We cannot accept any responsibility for you not locating your transport or any additional expenses incurred due to you failing to join your transport for the above reasons. iv. Where there is insufficient demand for the advertised departure route Glenton reserves the right to alter the route. v. Where we include home pick up, we can only collect from one address per booking. The service is limited to those areas advertised. b. Tour Coaches and Coach Seats i. If it becomes necessary to use a coach with different seat numbers to those shown in the booking form, the seat position should not change significantly. However, we cannot accept bookings conditional on the provision of specific seats and accept no liability if the seat provided is in a different position to that indicated in the published seating plan. Additionaly on rare occasions we reserve the right to change your seat number/s for operational reasons. Reserved seats are not allocated on transfer services or optional excursions. Although certain tours are advertised as having a coach with WC facilities, we reserve the right to operate a coach without such facilities should this become necessary due to mechanical failure, accident etc.

From time to time connecting taxis and minibuses may be used on a transfer element of your holiday. ii. In the unlikely event of a premium coach being unavailable, for whatever reason, on Glenton Select tours we reserve the right to replace the vehicle with a regular coach. Clients will be refunded £5 per day and this will be the extent of our liability. c. Smoking For the comfort of the majority of passengers, all coaches are strictly no smoking including electronic cigarettes. If you ignore this rule we reserve the right to terminate your holiday and levy full cancellation charges. You may also be liable to meet the cost of any claims brought against Glenton resulting from such an incident. d. Porterage On some holidays porterage may not always be available and where it is you will usually incur a small extra charge. Porterage is usually not available at sea ports or airports for security reasons. e. Conditions of Carriage You are advised that overland carriage is in vehicles other than those owned or operated by Glenton and that no sea or air transport is owned by the company. Such transport is subject to national and international regulations and conventions which may limit or exclude liability – a copy of these are available if you wish to see them. Your contract is subject to English Law and jurisdiction. Not all coaches bear Glenton livery. f. Delayed Departure If your departure to or from the UK mainland is delayed for more than six hours beyond the scheduled departure time we will make arrangements for meals and alternative accommodation only if this delay results in the advertised meal and accommodation arrangements being cancelled. We cannot accept responsibility for any meals or accommodation not included in the advertised holiday itinerary. If departure from the UK mainland is delayed for more than twelve hours beyond the scheduled departure time we reserve the right to cancel the holiday and refund all monies paid and this shall be the extent of our liability. g. Airport Assistance Any passengers requiring airport assistance must request this at the time of booking. Failure to follow this procedure may result in assistance being unavailable. Cancellation charges will apply should you choose to cancel your holiday as a result.

6. Liability & consumer protection

The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for package holidays booked from this brochure and for your repatriation in the event of our insolvency. We provide this security by way of an ATOL (number 10494) – Air Travel Organiser’s Licence administered by the Civil Aviation Authority and a bond held by ABTA for packages that do not include flights. If you book arrangements other than a package holiday from this brochure, the financial protection referred to above does not apply. For your financial protection when you buy an ATOL protected air holiday package from Glenton Holidays Ltd, you will receive an ATOL Certificate from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked). This lists the flight, accommodation, car hire and/or other services that are financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. Many of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays offered by Glenton Holidays Ltd in this brochure, other publicity material and on the website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. For more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: http://www.atol.org.uk/ATOLcertificate. We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have

16/7/13

bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). In the unlikely event of our insolvency whilst you are on holiday, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad. For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. If you buy a package holiday that does not include a flight protection is provided by ABTA. We are a Member of ABTA, membership number Y0234 and we are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA's Code of Conduct. For further information please see http://www.abta.com/consumer-services. This brochure is published by Glenton in good faith and is designed to assist you in choosing a suitable holiday. We accept responsibility for ensuring that the component parts of your holiday as described in this brochure are of a reasonable standard and that the obligations arising from this contract are performed properly unless this non or improper performance is attributable neither to any fault of ours or to that of another supplier because i) the failures to perform the contract were attributable to you ii) such failures were attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the contracted services, and are unforeseen and unavoidable iii) such failures are due to force majeure or to an event which we, or the supplier of the service, even with all due care could not foresee or forestall. Even in the case of sections i and ii above we will still give prompt assistance to you but this shall be the extent of our liability.

7. Claims

a. Claims other than Personal Injury Subject to the foregoing we will pay reasonable compensation for the non or improper performance of the contract by us, limited at all times to twice the total cost of the holiday. b. Claims for Personal Injury Subject to the foregoing, all claims relating to personal death or injury will be equivalent to the damages you would be entitled to receive under English Law in an English Court provided at all times that: i. you assign to Glenton any rights against a supplier or other person or party you may have relating to the claim. ii. that you co-operate fully with us should we or our insurers wish to enforce those rights which have been assigned to us. iii. Such payment in the case of transport or air is limited to that laid down in the appropriate International Conventions.

Note: Failure to notify us of your claim within 90 days of your return from holiday may affect our ability to investigate your claim and may impact on the way your claim is dealt with.

8. Data protection

In order to process your booking and to ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly and meet your requirements, we and your travel agent need to use the information you provide such as name, address, any special needs/dietary requirements etc. We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, transport companies etc. The information may also be provided to security or credit checking companies, public authorities such as customs/ immigration if required by them, or as required by law. Additionally, where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will not however, pass any information on to any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements. If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we cannot provide your booking. In making this booking you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons.

You are entitled to a copy of your information held by us.

If you would like to see this please contact D. Haig, Data Controller, Glenton, 30 Gordon Street, Glasgow, G1 3PU.

9. Price Policy

Before confirmation of your holiday we reserve the right to change prices from those advertised in this brochure. Having confirmed your holiday by sending your Holiday Confirmation Invoice, the price of your travel arrangements is subject to surcharges only on the following items. 1. Transportation – e.g. increases in fuel costs 2. Government action – e.g. any increases in VAT or any other tax imposed on us or required to be passed on by us 3.

Currency – in relation to adverse exchange rate variations.

However, even in these circumstances we will absorb or retain an amount equivalent to the first 2% of the price of your holiday, which excludes any insurance premiums and any amendment charges. Only amounts in excess of this 2% will be surcharged but where a surcharge is payable there will be an administration fee of £3 together with an amount to cover travel agents’ commission. If this means paying more than 10% on the holiday price, you will be entitled to cancel and receive a full refund of all monies paid. Should you decide to cancel because of this, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on the revised invoice. Should the above mentioned price variations be downward then the price of your holiday will be accordingly reduced and any refund paid to you. Please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place. The holiday prices published in this brochure were calculated according to exchange rates published in the Financial Times on 18 June 2013 Euro 1.168

10. Arbitration

In the event that you have any complaint during the course of your holiday you are strongly advised to immediately bring this to the attention of the supplier of the service in question AND the Glenton driver. If you are not satisfied with the solution offered you must

contact us in writing after returning home. We are unable to address complaints received more than 28 days after your return date and cannot be held responsible for any letters not received. In the unlikely event that we are unable to amicably settle your grievance, you may decide to pursue the matter further. One option is the ABTA Arbitration Scheme which is administered independently by the Institute of Arbitrators. It provides a simple inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for a greater amount than £5,000 per person or £25,000 per booking form, or to claims which are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness. Details can be sent to you on request.

11. Health Matters

Clients travelling to EC countries are strongly advised to obtain the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) This card allows you access to state provided healthcare in all European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland at a reduced cost or sometimes free of charge.

For travel overseas you are also advised to obtain the 'Health Advice for Travellers' leaflet from the Dept. of Health, your local ABTA travel agent or directly from ourselves.
