AN EGYPTIAN EXPERIENCE Egypt is a land of contrasts that just begs to be explored. Home to Africa’s largest city, almost 97% of Egypt is unpopulated desert. It has a very young population but is known best for its 5,000 year old Pharaohs. Wonder at its awe-inspiring stone edifices, as white sailed boats float lazily on the mighty Nile.

A treat for the taste buds

Egypt offers a mouthwatering mix of Mediterranean and North African cuisine, with staples like aysh (pita bread), fool (fava beans), mezze (Egyptian tapas) and kufta (minced lamb kebabs). And no meal is complete without some oh-so-naughty baklava – delicious sweet pastries. Tea is served Arabian style, very sweet with milk and lemon on the side. The coffee, though, is Turkish – strong, thick and black!

Weather

Typical of any desert country, the summer (May to October) is hot and the winter (November to April) mild. Inland areas like Luxor are hotter than the coast during the day, but then cool off much faster at night. Light coloured clothes, sun cream and headwear are recommended for the day while for the evenings it’s advisable to pack something cosy to keep you warm.

Haggle away!

Leave your inhibitions behind and do as the natives do – haggle. Famous bazaars such as the Khan el-Khalili, as well as the individual stores that pepper the streets, can offer great bargains, particularly when you are buying a speciality of the area, such as alabaster in Luxor, or antiques, fine clothing and jewellery in Cairo. Decide on your final price before you start, start low, be prepared for the shop owner to start high and enjoy the resulting game that will get you to meet in the middle.

If any surcharge is greater than 8% of the cost of your holiday (excluding insurance premiums and any amendment charges), you will be entitled to cancel your booking and receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to the Company (except for any amendment charges) or alternatively purchase another holiday from us. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note thattravel 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. You have 14 days from the issue date printed on the surcharge invoice to tell us if you want to cancel your holiday or purchase another holiday. If you do not tell us that you wish to do so within this period of time, we are entitled to assume that you will pay the surcharge. Any surcharge must be paid with the balance of the cost of the holiday or within 14 days of the issue date printed on the surcharge invoice, whichever is the later. We promise not to levy a surcharge within 30 days of the start of your holiday. No refunds will be made within this period either. Exchange rates The exchange rates we use are calculated and updated bi-annually by reference to the FTO base date with exchange rates as published in the Financial Times under the section ‘FT Guide to World Currencies’. Aviation insurance and security charge We have included in our prices a charge representing the extra aircraft insurance and security costs, which have been imposed on airlines and tour operators. You should be aware that this charge may change between the date of publication and the time of travel. Since these costs are beyond our control, we reserve the right to increase the amount of this charge at any time. We will of course inform you of any such change should that become necessary. Fuel We have included in our prices an estimate of fuel costs based on our forward view of oil prices at the date of publication. In view of the current volatility of world oil prices, a fuel supplement may be added to the price of your holiday at the time of booking.

Financial Protection

We provide full financial protection for our package holidays, by way of our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number, ATOL 9749. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have 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). For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

Payment

We accept payment in cash, by cheque and by major credit and debit cards. Cheques require 5 working days to clear, and will only be accepted where they will clear at least 12 weeks prior to departure. If you book through a travel agent, any money which you pay to that travel agent under or in contemplation of any contract with us is held by them on our behalf until the date of actual payment to us. When you make a holiday package booking you must pay a deposit plus any insurance premiums. No deposit is payable for infants under the age of 2 years on the date of return. Payment of the rest of your holiday price is due at least 12 weeks before the date of departure. If you do not pay in full by 12 weeks before departure your holiday will be cancelled and youwill lose your deposit. When booking within 12 weeks of departure, full payment is required at the time of booking. Tickets will not be issued until your holiday has been paid for. The initial deposit amount varies by the type of package booked: Charter flight packages For holiday packages that include flights chartered directly by Red Sea Holidays, the deposit is £99 per person, including any children or free group places. Non-charter flight packages For non-charter flight options, or if we have to make special flight arrangements that involvenon-refundable “restricted fares”, we reserve the right to charge you a deposit equal to the full cost of these flights plus £99 per person, including any children or free group places. The total deposit required will be advised to you before you confirm your booking. Flight only bookings When you make a flight-only booking, full payment is required at the time of booking.

Insurance

It is a condition of your contract with us that you have insurance cover for the duration of your trip, and that it is adequate for your needs and the type of activities you will be undertaking as part of your holiday. We do not check insurance policies; however we reserve the right to request written details (insurer’s name, policy number and emergency contact number) of your policy. You are responsible for indemnifying us in full in the event that we incur any losses or expenses arising out of your failure to take out adequate insurance cover.

Excursions

Excursions include sightseeing trips, diving packages, golfing, events and other tours in resort for which additional payment is required. These can either be pre-booked and paidfor when you book your holiday, or booked and paid for in resort. We are acting in the capacity of an agent for the supplier in the sale of excursion tours and tickets. When making an excursion booking, you accept that you are entering into a contract directly between the excursion provider and yourself. The excursion providers’ terms and conditions will apply. If you decide to cancel your booking, then you may be liable for the full cost of the excursion booked; this will be up to your excursion provider. We do not have any responsibility or liability for anything which may go wrong on an excursion. It is your responsibility to note carefully any conditions of contract contained in any excursion literature, ticket or receipt you are given. You may be subject to the laws ofthe country in which you take your excursion and may be required to bring any disputes or claims before the Courts of that country. Excursions do not form part of your Package and are not governed by the Package Travel, Package Holiday and Package Tours Regulations 1992.

Tickets

Your travel documents will be issued as an “e-ticket”. For direct bookings, the e-ticket will be sent to the email address you provide at the time of booking. For bookings made through a travel agency, the e-ticket will be emailed to the travel agency’s designated email address. If you require a ticket to be reissued, an administration fee of £25 will apply.

Changes you make before travel

For advice on amending a booking, please contact us in writing. We allow changes to be made to bookings already made, providing that these change requests are made to us at least 21 days before departure. Change requests must be sent to us at Red Sea Holidays, 2nd Floor, 4 Snow Hill, London EC1A 2DJ or by email to customersupport@redseaholidays.co.uk The Lead Name must sign the letter. With the exception of name changes, you may not make changes to your booking within 28 days of departure. You may however cancel your booking within this period subject to the payment of cancellation charges as outlined within our cancellation policy. At all other times, you may make changes to your holiday subject to the payment of the appropriate amendment fee(s). The amendment fee(s) may vary based upon the type of amendment being requested and the number of days prior to travel at which we receive your change request. Some airlines do not allow changes of any kind. Where the booking includes flights with one of these airlines, any changes to the passenger details or travel arrangements will result in a charge for the full cost of the flight seat, and where additional charges are incurred as a result of amendments, these charges will be passed on to you to pay, in addition to any appropriate fees as set out in our amendment fee guide.

Amendment fees shown are per person, per change. Your amendment will not be confirmed until you are in receipt of the revised notice. Where you make a change to your booking that is subject to the payment of an amendment or administration charge, then this charge must be paid in full at the time the amendment is first made. Amendment, administration and credit card surcharges will not usually be refunded should you subsequently cancel your booking. Where you request a change to any additional third party products or services booked to complement your holiday, they will incur an amendment charge equal to any unrecoverable financial commitment made to the product or service provider by Red Sea Holidays on your behalf. The third party will usually have their own terms and conditions related to the product or service provided to which you should also refer. The date of travel can only be amended once per booking and the revised departure date must be within 6 months of the original departure date. Any subsequent changes to the date of travel or requests to depart more then 6 months from the original departure date will be treated as a cancellation: cancellation charges will apply and a new booking must be made. Where you make multiple changes to any combination of either your travel date, your holiday duration, the property at which you will be staying or your flight arrangements within a single transaction, Red Sea Holidays will usually only charge a single set of amendment fees per person and not a cumulative charge per change. Charges for all other amendments, for example to change passenger details, will usually be charged cumulatively per change. If people drop out of your party, we will recalculate the cost of the holiday for the remaining travellers. If fewer adults share the accommodation, you may have to pay the extra room charges shown in this brochure. We cannot guarantee a twin room for the remaining customer from a party of two. One person who occupies a twin room will probably have to pay a significant extra charge. Prices for revised bookings are calculated based on the following:

Type of holiday

Revised price calculation

Brochure priced holidays (i.e. price does not include late adjustment discount)

Pay any applicable amendment fees, plus: a) The full brochure price applicable on the day you request the amendment, including supplements and any brochured discounts that apply at that time. Excludes late adjustment discounts. OR b) The late deal selling price for the same holiday on the day amendment is requested if this is higher than a).

Late deals (i.e. price includes late adjustment discount)

Pay any applicable amendment fees, plus: a) The holiday selling price applicable at the time of your original booking, including supplements and the late adjustment discount that applied at that time. OR b) The late deal selling price for the same holiday on the day amendment is requested if this is higher than a).

If you want to make changes while you are away on holiday, for example to upgrade your accommodation, we will try to help. These changes are subject to availability and must be paid for locally. You should notify us of any changes as soon as you are aware of them.

Airline policies Most airlines treat name changes as cancellations and impose extra charges, which you will have to pay. If you make changes after an airline ticket has been issued, you may have to pay for the cancelled ticket and buy a new ticket at full cost.

If you cancel your booking

To cancel the entire holiday, the Lead Name must write to our Administration Department by recorded delivery at the address on your booking confirmation. Cancellation takes effect on the date we receive your letter. If you cancel after we confirm your booking, you must compensate us for losses, as we incur costs from the moment you make the booking. Insurance premiums and any amendment fees already paid to us will not be refunded. The following cancellation fees apply to holiday packages:

Book with confidence. Every holiday is 100% protected by our ATOL licence.

Flight-only bookings are non-refundable in the event of cancellation. If your holiday package includes a flight based on a non-refundable restricted fare, the cancellation charge may be higher, in some cases up to the full amount of the booking. We will provide details of this after we receive your cancellation instruction. No refunds are offered for taxes and charges associated with cancelled or unused flights.

If we change or cancel your holiday

Definitions ‘Major Change’ includes (but is not limited to) the following:  a change of accommodation to one with an officially lower rating;  a change of more than 12 hours to your scheduled time of departure or return;  a significant increase in the price of your holiday. Any change in the airline or the type of aircraft from that stated in the brochure/website or on your ticket does not count as a Major Change. ‘Unavoidable Event’ means unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control or the control of our suppliers, resulting in events that could not have been avoided even if all reasonable care had been taken. Such circumstances include (but are not limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, unavoidable technical problems with transport, closure or congestion of airports, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire and adverse weather conditions (including heavy/ insufficient snowfalls or non-freezing conditions). Minor Change We hope that we will not have to make any change to your holiday but, because our holidays are planned many months in advance, we sometimes do need to make changes. Most changes are minor and we will always tell you as soon as possible before your departure. In such circumstances, we will have no liability to you. Major Change Occasionally we may need to make a Major Change (see Definitions above). We reserve the right to do this at any time. We will let you or your travel agent know about any important changes when you book. If you have already booked, we will let you know as soon as we can, if there is time before your departure. If we do, you must tell us as soon as possible so that you can decide if you wish to accept the change or cancel the holiday with a full refund. Cancellation If we cancel your holiday before it starts, and it is not your fault, or if you cancel because you decline a Major Change as above, you have the following options:  accept our offer of a replacement holiday of lower quality (if available), and we will refund the difference in cost; or  accept our offer of a replacement holiday of equivalent or higher quality (if available); or  ask for a refund of the money you have paid. If you accept a Major Change, or if we Cancel your holiday, we will, as a minimum, compensate you according to the scale below, in addition to any refund. We will not pay compensation when the change or cancellation is due to an Unavoidable Event or because the number of persons who have booked is less than that required for the package. If you have paid reduced rates for children, we will pay credit or compensation on a pro-rata basis of the adult rate. Children travelling on free child places, and infants, are not entitled to compensation.

In the event that you are unable to board your flight due to a problem within our control (you are ‘denied boarding’) we will provide welfare as appropriate for the period of any delay. If any similar alternative flight offered is not acceptable, you have a right to reimbursement of the cost of any flight (you should note that this is not a right to reimbursement of the full holiday cost unless the above paragraph in relation to cancellation applies). You will also be entitled to compensation, according to the length of your flight on scales laid down by the European Commission, details of which are available on request.

Minimum numbers

A minimum number of people need to book to enable the advertised holiday to take place. If this number is not achieved and we have to cancel your holiday we will tell you immediately, at least 6 weeks before departure. We will refund the full cost of your holiday and the insurance premium, unless you obtained cover with another company. Where we cancel for this reason you are entitled to the options detailed in the paragraph ‘If we change or cancel your holiday’, but you are not entitled to compensation in these circumstances.

Conduct and Termination

All references in this section to “you” and “your” include any other person in your party. You and your party must behave reasonably on holiday. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to refuse to accept you as a customer or to terminate your holiday if you indulge in behaviour that is disruptive, threatening or abusive, if you damage property, or if you disturb, upset, put at risk or endanger any other traveller, our staff or our agents, whether in the UK or overseas. If any of our staff, agents, airline flight crew or cruise ship crew or believes that you could be disruptive or are suffering from a contagious disease, they can refuse to let you proceed with your travel arrangements, restrict your movements on board, disembark you from a ship or aircraft, or remove you from your accommodation or excursion. If you are prevented from boarding your outbound flight from the UK, we will treat your booking as cancelled by you and you will be liable for cancellation charges as detailed in the “If you cancel your booking” section. If you are prevented from boarding your return flight from overseas, you will be responsible for arranging your own return travel arrangements and those for any other members of your party who can not or will not travel without you. Should you be refused flight carriage because of your behaviour or because you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the airline may pass the details to other airlines for their information, which may make it more difficult for you to book other airline tickets. We will not pay any refund or compensation in any of the above circumstances, and we will not be liable for any additional costs or expenses you incur. In addition, we reserve the right to make a claim against you for any damages, expenses and costs, including legal costs, that we incur as a result of your behaviour, including (but not limited to): repairing or replacing property lost, damaged or destroyed by you; compensating any traveller, staff, agent or crew affected by your actions; delay or diversion of aircraft for the purpose of removing you. Criminal proceedings may also be instigated.

B O O K I N G C O N DITIO N S Passport, visa and immigration requirements

Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements.

Our liability to you

We will accept responsibility for your holiday as an ‘organiser’ under the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 as set out below. Subject to the other provisions of this Clause, we accept responsibility for ensuring that your travel arrangements, which you book with us, are supplied as described by us. If, after departure, any part of your travel arrangements are not provided as promised, due to the fault of our employees, agents or suppliers, we will pay you appropriate compensation, if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements. However, our liability in all cases shall be limited to a maximum of twice the value of the element not supplied excluding flights. The level of such compensation will take into account all relevant factors including the invoice price of the holiday, any steps it was reasonable for the client to take to minimise the inconvenience/damage suffered and the extent to which the deficiency or improper performance can have affected the client’s enjoyment of the package. Please note that we will not be liable for any injury, illness, or death or consequent losses suffered by you or any member of your party, unless you are able to prove that such injury or illness was caused by lack of reasonable care and skill on the part of ourselves or our suppliers in the performance of our obligations under our contract with you. Should you become ill while on holiday you must: a) report your illness to our representative, agent or Duty Office; b) consult a local doctor in the resort; and c) consult your own GP upon your return to the UK. Should you wish to make a claim against us as a result of that illness, you must provide us with details of both the local doctor in resort and your own GP, and provide written authority for us to obtain a medical report from each doctor. It is a condition of the payment of compensation that you notify us of any complaint or claim strictly in accordance our complaints procedure and, further, assign to us any rights that you may have against any third party in connection with your claim. You must co-operate with us and our insurers in this regard. If you suffer a personal injury, death or serious difficulties as the result of an activity which does not form part of the package you booked with us – including for example any additional services or facilities provided to you by a hotel or any other supplier which was not included as part of the original contract between us – we will not be liable to pay you any compensation but will offer you such advice and guidance as is reasonable in all the circumstances provided we are advised of the incident within 90 days of the occurrence. We will not be responsible where you do not enjoy the holiday or suffer any other problems because of a reason which you did not make us aware of when the holiday was booked. In all claims of whatever nature we will not be liable where the alleged loss or damage results from any of the following: a) the fault of the person affected or any members of their party; or b) the fault of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday which we could not have predicted or avoided; or c) an event or circumstances which we or the supplier of the service in question could not have predicted or avoided even after taking all reasonable care; or d) the fault of anyone who was not carrying out work for us (generally or in particular) at the time. Important notice in respect of limits on liability. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to: a) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ form part of your contract with us, as well as with the transport company and that those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ shall be deemed to be included by reference into this contract; and b) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. You can ask for copies of the transport companies’ contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our offices: Red Sea Holidays, 2nd Floor, 4 Snow Hill, London EC1A 2DJ. The promises we give to you regarding the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of the contract, and the laws and regulations of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred, shall be used as the basis for ascertaining whether or not the services in question have been properly provided. If the services in question which caused the claim or complaint complied with the local laws and regulations applicable to those services at that time, the services shall be treated as having been properly provided. Such shall be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and regulations of the UK which would have applied if those services had been provided in the UK. Where we are found liable for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions (including money), the maximum amount we will have to pay you and your party is £25 per person in total. We strongly recommend that you and your party take out adequate travel insurance for your particular needs whilst on holiday and for the purpose of these Booking Conditions you and your party are assumed to have done so.

Additional help If you or one of your party suffers personal injury, illness or death during the holiday through no fault of your own, we may, at our discretion, give you general and/or financial assistance. We may do this even though the damage may not be the result of one of our holiday services. We will only give you this assistance if you request it within 90 days of the event happening. The financial assistance is limited to £5,000 per booking. If your claim is successful or if you are insured for these costs, you must repay any financial assistance we give you as soon as you recover it. Limitations on our liability Our liability to you for any loss or damage which you may suffer is limited to two times the price of your holiday. This excludes personal injury resulting from the non-performance or improper performance of the services involved in the holiday, and is subject to the limitation of liability described below. In respect of travel by air, sea and rail, and the provision of accommodation our liability will be limited in the manner provided by the relevant International Convention. You can ask for copies of these international conventions from us. Health and safety standards applicable to the services provided by us under this contract should meet the local standards applicable to your holiday destination. However you should be aware that these vary widely across the programme and may well not match those standards we enjoy in the UK. Any compensation

payable by us shall be limited in accordance with the lowest limit allowed under applicable International Conventions governing the services, or the amount you can recover from them under the laws of the UK or the country in which they operate. Transport operators have their own conditions of carriage, which form part of your contract with us. These conditions generally limit the liability of transport operators.

Flights and flight times

The flights shown in our brochure and website are operated by a range of UK, European and international airlines. We may change airlines or aircraft types at any time; this does not count as a Major Change. Some flights may need to stop en route. If we know about this in advance we will tell you. Flight times shown in our brochure and website and on your booking confirmation are not guaranteed. Actual flight times are shown on your tickets. A night flight means one that departs the UK between 22.00 hours and 05.59 hours, or arrives in the UK between 00.00 hours and 05.59 hours. You are reminded that Captains of aircraft have absolute authority over the aircraft and its passengers while boarding or in flight. The Captain or other authorised representative of the airline can refuse to carry anyone if they are unruly, unfit to travel, or a danger to the flight or other passengers. If you or any member of your party is refused carriage in these circumstances, the contract between us will terminate immediately and we will have no further responsibility for, nor liability to, you or any member of your party.

Brochure and website accuracy

We publish our brochure and website information many months in advance. As far as we know, all the information is correct at the time of publication. However, circumstances can change after publication, so our team of experts check regularly to see if we need to update the descriptions, information and prices shown. We will tell you of any changes that we know about when you book your holiday. If you have already booked, we will tell you of any significant change in circumstances that would affect your holiday as soon as we can before you leave.

HOLIDAY INFORM ATIO N

Your holiday price Pricing your holiday

The price panels in the brochure show our basic lead-in prices per person plus the supplements for some common upgrades and options. The price includes taxes, Air Passenger Duty, aircraft insurance, security, fuel and other associated costs. These prices are influenced by many factors including currency exchange rates, economic conditions and suppliers’ costs, so we review prices regularly. Very rarely, and only when we cannot avoid it, we may have to alter prices or introduce surcharges. Much more commonly, however, our prices will go down. For this reason, we always recommend you visit our website, give us a call or ask your travel agent to confirm our latest prices. To help you compare the prices in our brochure, please note the following:  The prices shown are lead-in prices based on selected departure dates within each date band, and on selected airports and flights.  Lead-in prices shown are per person based on two adults sharing (unless otherwise specified).  Prices are correct at time of going to print but are subject to change and may go up or down.  Flight supplements may apply; see Flight Information for details.  Child prices are subject to sharing accommodation with a minimum of two full fare paying passengers per booking.

Unless otherwise specified, the prices in this brochure are based on 2 adults sharing a standard room, and the specified board basis. Other room types and board basis options may be available at a supplement, which is shown in the price panel. For a detailed quotation, including these supplements, visit our website, give us a call, or ask your travel agent. Children and infants do not count towards occupancy levels, so it may be more economical for a single adult travelling with children to book the first child at the full adult rate. Where single rooms are available, a Single Room Supplement is shown, stated as per person, per night.

Child pricing

Infants Children aged less than 2 years on the date of their return flight are classed as infants and do not receive a separate flight seat or baggage allowance (see Flight Information “Infants” section). The accommodation may charge extra for cots, etc. Children Children qualify for discounted prices at most accommodation, subject to sharing a room with 2 adult fare paying passengers. The child age is typically 2-11 years but varies by accommodation and is specified in the accommodation description. Child price conditions  You must book the holiday based on the child’s age on the date of the return flight. For example, if you book a child fare for an 11 year old who would turn 12 before the return flight, the child price no longer applies and you will have to pay the full adult fare plus any admin charges before departure.  Child prices apply subject to sharing a room with minimum of 2 full fare paying passengers per booking. For instance, for 2 adults and 1 child, the child qualifies for a child price. For 1 adult and 2 children, the first child would be charged the adult price, and the second child would pay the child price.  Children must pay the full adult deposit. No deposit is charged for infants.  Children must pay any flight supplements and room upgrade supplements that apply.

Nile cruises / cruise & stay holidays

Cruise and Stay packages combine a 7 night cruise with 7 nights Red Sea hotel accommodation. Nights spent at the hotel will take place at either end of your cruise, with the breakdown of days dependent on which day you arrive in Egypt – this varies by time of year and which UK airport you fly from. Nile Cruises begin on a Monday, so, for example, if you fly into Hurghada from Manchester on a Friday you will spend 3 nights in resort, before transferring by coach to Luxor on the Monday to join the cruise. On conclusion of the cruise the following Monday, you will be transferred by coach back to your resort for the remaining 4 nights of your stay. Access Access to Nile cruise ships is by gangplank, with some uneven areas, and it occasionally requires crossing another boat to reach the river bank. Ask your representative for assistance if needed. The ships are also on several levels. For these reasons, Nile cruises are not recommended for people with walking difficulties. Sightseeing When sightseeing take plenty of bottled water and wear sensible footwear as the ground can be uneven. Flash photography is often prohibited to protect the monuments. There may be charges for photography or use of video cameras. Itineraries The itinerary involves some early starts and long days to make sure all the sights are fitted in. Changes to the scheduled itinerary and excursions may occasionally be necessary due to local conditions such as water levels, cruise boat traffic, site closures and road conditions. Other guests Nile cruise ships and coaches used on cruise and stay holidays are shared with guests from other countries.

Excursions

A number of optional excursions are available to book in resort. These do not form part of your holiday booking with us, and are subject to local operator terms and conditions. All such excursions operate subject to a minimum number of passengers. Timing and itineraries are subject to change and in extreme cases, cancellation, for instance, owing to adverse weather conditions. Please ask your Red Sea Holidays representative or appointed agent for more details.

 Consulate: www.egyptianconsulate.co.uk

Advance passenger information The UK Government e-Borders scheme requires airlines to provide passenger information, including passport details, for border control purposes. This Advance Passenger Information (API) may be required prior to tickets being issued, we will inform you at the time of booking if this is the case. Currency Currency such as Pounds Sterling, Euros and US Dollars are widely accepted, and can also be exchanged in local banks or bureaux de change (many hotels have these). Coins and Scottish/Northern Irish bank notes are not generally accepted. Major credit cards are widely accepted. ATMs are available in all major resort centres, and in some hotels.

Health precautions

Inoculations No compulsory inoculations required. A pre-travel Hepatitis

96

A vaccine is recommended. Advice can change, so please take health advice about your specific needs as early as possible. Sources of information include: www.fco.gov.uk and www.hpa. org.uk your GP or a specialist clinic. Sun You will find that the sun is much more intense than at home, and severe sunburn is possible within a very short time. Take plenty of sun tan lotion with you, apply it regularly, and limit your sunbathing at first. Remember to reapply sun tan lotion after swimming. Watch out for redness and sunburn and don’t be afraid to cover up with a hat or T-shirt. With hot sun and a seaside breeze, it is extremely easy to get dehydrated without noticing. Watch out for signs of heat exhaustion or sunstroke (drowsiness, dizziness, headaches and nausea) and drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids. Remember, you can get sunburned or dehydrated even in the shade! Water and plumbing Untreated tap water is not safe, so we advise against using it for drinking, brushing teeth, in drinks or for washing food. Use bottled water instead; it is inexpensive and widely available. Note that locally produced bottled water can have a higher mineral content than that at home. Water is scarce in some areas, so you may experience low water pressure on occasions. Many properties use solar heating, so hot water can be in short supply early in the day, late at night or on a cloudy day. Some areas have narrow plumbing and require separate disposal of used paper in the bins provided. Please follow these instructions to avoid problems. The bins will be emptied regularly. Upset stomachs It is not uncommon to suffer a stomach upset when on holiday. Prevention is better than cure: washing your hands regularly, especially before eating and drinking, is one of the best ways to avoid picking up bugs. We also suggest avoiding undercooked foods and ice in drinks. Dehydration and heat stroke can also cause stomach upsets, so drink plenty of bottled water and avoid spending too much time in the sun. If you do get an upset, your Red Sea Holidays representative can usually arrange a consultation with a doctor. You may wish to ask your pharmacist for advice on remedies to take with you to resort. Insect bites Biting insects (including mosquitoes) are common. Insect repellents can be useful in helping to prevent bites; the most effective are those containing DEET. You can also reduce the risk by wearing clothes that cover your skin, including your arms and legs, especially during the evening and at night.

Travel advice

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office issues frequent updates for those travelling outside the UK. You can check the latest travel advice at www.fco.gov.uk/travel

Travellers with disabilities

Many hotels offer a degree of accessibility for holidaymakers with restricted mobility, such as ground floor rooms, lifts, level public areas, and beachside promenades, but few are equipped with specific disability-friendly features such as wheelchair ramps and accessible bathrooms. In addition, the terrain and layout of resorts can be difficult for wheelchair users. It is important that you advise us of your particular needs so that enquiries can be made about the suitability of resorts, accommodation, and transport before you book your holiday. Some special arrangements may require an extra charge. If you do not tell us in advance about special needs or requirements that would affect your holiday experience, we cannot compensate you should we fail to deliver them. If you require assistance at the airport or on your flight, let us know and we will pass on your requirements to the airline. Large print versions of our Booking Conditions and Holiday Information are available on request. For support or advice prior to booking, please contact our Customer Service team or ask your travel agent.

Weather and natural disasters

When a storm or natural disaster occurs, travel and accommodation arrangements may be disrupted. If it is forecast one of our destinations may be affected, we work with local and international authorities, our Health and Safety and resort teams and local agents to try to minimise disruption and keep you informed. In the event of changes to your holiday due to actual or threatened bad weather or natural events, we are unable to offer any compensation. Please refer to our Booking Conditions, for details of our responsibility to you in these circumstances.

Accommodation Accommodation ratings

Official star ratings standards vary between countries, and even between resorts. For this reason, the main rating we show for each hotel is a Red Sea Holidays Sun rating. This is based on customer feedback and our own inspections and we award a Sun rating consistent with the standards expected by our UK customers. We also display the official star rating for each hotel for your reference.

Hotel Ratings

We include each hotel’s scores from the Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire completed by our guests at the end of their holiday, where available. The figures shown are the percentage of people who ticked “Excellent” or “Good” in the period 01 December 2018-30 November 2019.

Ask your local travel agent • Call 0207 332 2660 • Visit redseaholidays.co.uk

TripAdvisor ratings

To give you an impartial view of what other guests have said about the accommodation we offer, we include accommodation ratings from TripAdvisor®, the world's leading independent travel review website. The ratings are based on guest feedback given on the Tripadvisor website, and will include reviews given by other tour operators' guests, and guests from other countries.

Check-in / Check-out times

In most cases your room will be available from 3pm on the day of your arrival. Should the room not be available immediately upon your arrival, for instance if you arrive earlier in the day, the accommodation will make arrangements to safely store your luggage until the room becomes available. Accommodation check-out times vary, but you would usually vacate your room between 10am and midday. It may be possible to book a late checkout room for an additional charge. Please call us for details or ask your travel agent.

Room types

The rooms in our accommodation are grouped into room types offering a particular size and range of features. The specific details are shown in the accommodation descriptions, but a summary of the main room types and what to expect is shown below. Please note:  Hotels and apartments do not use standard definitions for room type. We have named our room types to give consistency across our range of holidays, but your accommodation may use a slightly different name for the specified room.  We do not offer all room types at all accommodation. Standard Room Room will contain a double bed (this may be two single beds made with double bedding) or two single beds (twin beds) where specified. Superior Room Typically, they will have similar facilities to a Standard Room, but may be larger or have added features, such as balcony or a sea view. Single Room A single room assumes one person in the room, and may contain a single bed, twin beds or a double bed. Family Suites Typically includes a separate master bedroom and an open plan living room with sofa beds and/or twin beds. Suite/Junior Suite A suite will usually have a separate bedroom and lounge/ living area. A junior suite will be an open-plan bedroom with a comfortable seating area. Layout varies by accommodation. Bungalow Bungalow accommodation typically indicates any small accommodation blocks separate to the main hotel building. They may be more than one storey in height, and there may be more than one unit per building. Rooms sleeping 3 or more Some accommodation offers rooms that sleep 2 adults and up to 2 children, in a combination of double/twin plus sofa beds, rollaway beds or camp beds. These rooms may not be any larger than a standard-sized room, so space is likely to be more limited. If you require any additional information on room layout, please call us or ask your travel agent. Sea / Pool View In some rooms that have a pool or sea view, the view may be partially obscured by plants or trees. Rooms with a partial pool or sea view may be positioned at an angle to the view. Inter-connecting Rooms Where indicated, hotels can offer adjacent rooms with a connecting door, ideal for families and groups. These are subject to availability and a small supplement will apply.

Single supplements

If a single person occupies a double room, they will be asked to pay a “single supplement”. Hotels price their rooms as doubles and they do not reduce their price if they are occupied by a single person, as their costs for the room do not change. Where specific single rooms are offered, these may be smaller and with slightly different facilities to a double room. The supplement for a single room is usually less than for a single person occupying a double room.

All Inclusive holidays

All Inclusive holidays are a great way to relax and get the most out of your holiday without having to worry about extra costs. Here are some tips so you know what to expect, and to make sure you get the most from the experience: Identification Many hotels will issue you with an ID card, bracelet or necklace. This must be shown when ordering drinks meals and other services. Don’t lose it as there may be a charge to replace it. Meal times Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the availability of snacks, ice cream and afternoon tea/coffee are subject to specific serving times which will be advised by your hotel. À la carte restaurants Where à la carte restaurants are included in your package, these will be subject to reservation, either the day or morning before. The restaurant menu may include a mix of All Inclusive items and premium items at extra charge (for example steak or


HOLIDAY INFORMATIO N lobster). Some hotels may require a small cover charge for à la carte restaurants. Drinks Locally produced alcoholic and soft drinks are included in the All Inclusive service. Imported drinks, premium brands, speciality teas and coffees, fresh fruit juices, and in some hotels, bottled mineral water, are usually charged extra. Drinks are usually served by the glass; you can expect to pay extra if ordering by the bottle. Alcoholic drinks The All Inclusive drinks service is available subject to specified serving hours. These will be advised by your hotel but are typically from 10am to midnight. Freely available alcoholic drinks throughout the day can be a temptation to overindulge; please have consideration for your safety, and other guests, and remember that the hotel management can refuse to serve someone they believe to be intoxicated or under age.

For example, if the weather turns cool unexpectedly it can take up to 3 days for a swimming pool to be heated fully. For your safety, don’t swim after you have been drinking alcohol, and do not swim after dark or when the pool is closed. Children should always be supervised by a responsible adult.

Water slides and features

Age and height restrictions may apply to slides, flumes and other water features, and some may not be suitable for weak swimmers or those with certain medical conditions, so please check carefully before using. Children must be supervised by an adult.

Safety in your accommodation

Familiarise yourself with the fire procedures in your hotel (including location of emergency exits) and the locations of the swimming pool and any steps within the hotel grounds. Children should be supervised at all times, especially near water and on balconies.

What’s not included Additional services and facilities not specified in the All Inclusive features may incur a charge. Not all bars and restaurants in each hotel are available free of charge. Some restaurants offer an All Inclusive menu plus additional menu items at an extra charge. Bars and restaurants may charge after a certain time (e.g. after midnight).

Hygiene in your accommodation

Dietary requirements Please note that hotels will do their utmost to accommodate any requests relating to dietary requirements, but these cannot be guaranteed.

Cots for infants

Dining

Board basis & restaurant choice The board basis, restaurant choice and meal service are described in the accommodation description. Where there is more than one restaurant, meals included in the board basis will generally be taken in the main restaurant and will usually be buffet style. Breakfast will be a continental style buffet unless otherwise specified, though a range of cooked and cooked-to-order items is often available. À la carte restaurants Reservations are required for à la carte restaurants, and meals will usually be chargeable, though some dishes may be available within your board basis. Dress code As a courtesy to fellow guests, hotels require guests to wear a shirt/T-shirt, trousers and shoes/sandals in their restaurants. Swimwear is not permitted. The dress code for evening meals is usually smarter than during the day. We advise you to confirm the details when you check in to your accommodation.

Air conditioning

Air conditioning is provided in almost all of our accommodation. This will usually be operated via a thermostat in your room to enable you to increase/decrease the amount of cooling in summer or heating in winter. Some hotels operate air conditioning seasonally, not year-round.

TV channels

Many hotels provide a TV in the bedroom or living room. Not all accommodation will have a TV, so please check the accommodation description for details. Where TVs are provided, cable or satellite TV channels are common, but not guaranteed. We also cannot guarantee the availability of English language channels. Some accommodation will offer additional pay per view channels which are payable locally. There may be channels with adult content. We advise you to take the same care and supervision of children’s TV viewing as you would at home.

Entertainment and sports facilities

Many hotels provide an entertainment and animation programme suitable for guests of all nationalities. This can include shows, competitions and guest-participation activities. The programme may not operate daily. Some shows with professional entertainers and/or a special meal may incur an additional charge. All sports and leisure facilities are subject to availability, and there may be a system restricting use of some facilities to ensure that all have an opportunity to enjoy them. You may be required to pay a refundable deposit. Sports and activities not included in an All Inclusive package may incur a charge. Age and height restrictions apply to some activities, and some are not open to younger or unsupervised children. Entertainment and animation programmes, outdoor catering, and outdoor sports and facilities may be subject to change or cancellation due to weather conditions and/or minimum guest numbers. Activities such as watersports are considered hazardous activities by some insurance companies. You should ensure that any activities you wish to participate in are covered by your insurance policy.

Swimming pools

Swimming pools vary in size and shape. They can also be fresh or salt water. Every pool is different, so we recommend you familiarise yourself with the layout, how to get in and out, and the location of shallow and deep ends before jumping in. We also ask you to use the pool’s shower facility to help keep the pool clean and healthy. Unless otherwise specified, swimming pools are not heated in winter. Swimming pools that are advertised as heated in winter are heated at the discretion of the accommodation management, based on their individual policies, swimming pool characteristics and the prevailing weather conditions.

Hygiene and food safety are of prime importance to us and the hotels we work with. We liaise closely with the accommodation to ensure that the highest standards are maintained.

Maid service

The frequency of maid service and changes of linen and towels differ by accommodation. The details for your accommodation can be confirmed on your arrival by asking the reception staff. These must be requested at time of booking, there may be a small charge payable locally.

Breakage deposits

Some accommodation may require you to leave a refundable breakage deposit on arrival, usually in local currency. If no damage has been found in the room, the deposit will be fully refunded when you check out.

Smoking

Most of the accommodation we feature has a no smoking policy in guest rooms and public areas. Please ask at the time of booking if this is important to you.

Behaviour

We and the accommodation owners reserve the right to withdraw services from any guest whose behaviour, or whose children’s behaviour is upsetting the enjoyment of other guests. Continued anti-social behaviour may lead to us and the hotelier terminating your contract and asking you to leave the accommodation.

Other guests

In selected hotels the representative may invite you to an orientation meeting held the following day. In an emergency, you should contact the Resort Office in the first instance. If you have any difficulty contacting them, then you can call the Red Sea Holidays UK Duty Office on +44(0)207 332 2649. If you have a complaint about any aspect of your holiday, please let your representative know. They will do everything they can to liaise with the resort team and our headquarters Duty Office to solve the problem as quickly as possible and minimize any inconvenience.

Building work

Some areas of the resorts we feature are still expanding and being developed, so there may be building or construction work taking place in the vicinity of your accommodation. There may also be some general refurbishment taking place in your accommodation. We have no control over such work, but it is important to us that you are aware of any significant building or refurbishment that may be going on during your stay. When we are informed of any such work we will tell you at the time of booking or, if you have already booked, we will contact you before departure. Please refer to the Booking Conditions.

Restaurants, Bars and Nightclubs

Most resorts have a wide range of restaurants, bars and nightclubs in addition to those in the hotels. We include some examples of these in our resort guides. These are for information only and do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by us. These establishments do not form part of your holiday package, and we cannot accept liability for the quality of service offered, or any issues arising from them.

Religious sites

When visiting religious sites such as mosques, monasteries and churches, you will be expected to cover up, wear long trousers or skirts, and in some cases a headscarf. You may also be required to remove your shoes. If you have any doubts, simply ask your representative what is appropriate.

Ramadan

Ramadan is a period of Islamic religious fasting that lasts for around 30 days. During Ramadan, some cafés and restaurants will close between sunrise and sunset, and there may be restrictions on the serving of alcohol. Service in our hotels should not be affected. Ramadan dates: 23 April-23 May 2020.

Taxis

Local taxis are widely available in the resort areas. Always agree the fare with the driver before you get in the taxi, and do not pay until you reach your intended destination.

We do not have exclusive use of the accommodation in this brochure. Most will have guests from other countries and of mixed age. Many hotels operate conference and event facilities so there may be business meetings or events such as wedding receptions taking place during your stay.

Additional information

Your resort

Some of the general photography used in this brochure, for example close ups of spa treatment or children playing, were shot on location and not at a particular hotel or resort.

Tipping

Tipping, generally known as Baksheesh, is standard practice in North Africa, not just for tourists. You will be expected to tip porters, waiters, pool attendants, barmen, boat crew, coach drivers and taxi drivers – anyone who offers you any type of service or assistance. The general rule is to tip little and often. It is advisable to keep plenty of small change/notes for tipping purposes. People will accept €1 and £1 coins. The US $1 dollar bill is popular as it can be easily exchanged in banks.

Religious sites

When visiting religious sites such as mosques, monasteries and churches, you will be expected to cover up, wear long trousers or skirts, and in some cases a headscarf. You may also be required to remove your shoes. If you have any doubts, simply ask your representative what is appropriate.

Safety in your resort

Our resorts are safe for tourists, but crime is a fact of life in every country, so please take the same care for your safety, and that of your belongings, as you would at home. Take particular care in busy towns and at temples and sites of interest. Please see your representative for tips and advice on local customs, bartering and staying safe in resort. Avoid approaching or feeding cats, dogs, birds and other animals as they may scratch or bite and can transmit diseases.

Beaches and the sea

Beaches get very hot in the sun, and can have sharp rock areas or coral sand, so we recommend wearing beach shoes. Beach shoes are also recommended when in the water to avoid injury on areas of sharp rock, coral or sea urchins. Some beaches have a rocky foreshore or shallow coral areas which prevent direct access to the sea. In these cases, you may find man-made beach terraces, and jetty or pontoon access to deeper water for swimming. Beaches may not be supervised by a lifeguard, so take extra care when in the water.

Resort service

All our brochure price holidays include the services of a Red Sea Holidays representative or our appointed local agent. Arrangements vary by destination but upon arrival you should look for our representative or proceed to the local agent’s desk, as specified in your travel documents. The representative will provide you with details of the transfer to your accommodation. They will also confirm when they will be available at your accommodation or the Resort Office, and details of how they can be contacted in an emergency.

Book with confidence. Every holiday is 100% protected by our ATOL licence.

Flight information Flight delays

Although most flights depart on time, there may be occasions when a flight is delayed for reasons beyond our control. Unfortunately we cannot accept any liability for any flight delay or cancellation, to or from your resort, for which we are not directly responsible, for instance, delays due to adverse weather conditions; re-scheduling by the airline, airport authorities or air traffic controllers; technical problems with any aircraft; or industrial action. Where there is a delay, information about the cause or likely duration is sometimes hard to come by, but we will always try our best to keep you fully informed. In addition, and subject to the facilities available at the time and place of the delay, we will arrange to provide:  delay of 4 to 6 hours – light refreshments;  6 to 10 hours – a meal at mealtimes;  over 10 hours – basic accommodation, where possible and advisable (in liaison with the airline arranging your flight). We shall have no other liabilities or responsibility for any other expense you incur or financial loss you may suffer as a result of any flight delay.

Carriage of infants

The airlines’ minimum age for infants varies but is typically between 2 and 6 weeks. Infants aged 0-24 months are carried based on sitting on an adult’s lap. There must be at least one adult for every infant travelling. The infant may be seated in a car seat, subject to booking a flight seat, availability and the airline’s car seat regulations. The price for the flight seat will be based on the adult seat-only price, but discounts may be available. Contact Customer Services or your travel agent for details. Airline regulations require children aged 2 years and over to occupy a seat. Children aged 2 years and over on the return flight must pay the stated child price for the holiday.

Travelling while pregnant

Airline rules differ, but most require a medical certificate of fitness to travel for women who are 28 weeks or more pregnant on the date of return travel and will not normally allow travel at all beyond 32 weeks pregnancy. We recommend that you check with the airline, and also consult your own doctor.

Passengers with disabilities

Passengers with reduced mobility, wheelchair users, and the visually impaired should contact Customer Services or your travel agent prior to booking to confirm the availability of any assistance you may require at the airport. If you do not request assistance in advance, we cannot guarantee that the service will be available on the day, as there is limited availability at most airports.

Carriage of wheelchairs

Wheelchairs must be carried in the aircraft hold and collected in the baggage reclaim area. Your wheelchair will be carried free of charge in addition to your normal baggage allowance. Airline liability for loss or damage is limited, so you should ensure that the wheelchair is adequately insured. Electrically powered wheelchairs will be accepted for travel, subject to the general conditions of carriage outlined in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. The regulations relate to the batteries in the wheelchair. The electric wheelchair must be easily stored in an upright position when collapsed. The battery must be disconnected and the terminals insulated to prevent accidental short circuiting.

Travelling companions

Any passenger who is not “self-reliant” according to the Department for Transport (DFT) code of practice definition, must travel with a carer. The DFT defines someone as not being self-reliant if they cannot take care of all their physical

98

needs in-flight independently. The carer must book their ticket at the same time and can travel with a maximum of 2 passengers requiring assistance.

Emergency exit seating

Safety regulations require that anyone sitting in an emergency exit row be willing and able to operate the emergency exit. We are unable to allocate exit row seating to children or passengers with disabilities. If you are seated in an exit row and have concerns about this, please speak to a member of the cabin crew.

Fitness to fly

If you suffer from certain medical conditions that mean you may require assistance from the airline, you may need permission from your doctor to fly. You should contact the airline directly if you have concerns over your fitness to fly. If you suffer an accident or illness in resort, a fitness to fly certificate will be needed for the return journey; please contact your resort representative.

Tickets

All tickets are issued by email as an “e-ticket”. You must have a PRINTED copy of your e-ticket in order to travel. If you do not have a printed copy of the e-ticket when you check in both for the flight from the UK AND the return flight to the UK, the airline is entitled to refuse you boarding the flight. We cannot accept responsibility in this situation and while we will endeavour to assist you in making alternate travel arrangements, any costs or loss incurred will be your responsibility. How and when you receive your e-ticket depends on how and when you book your holiday: Bookings made directly with Red Sea Holidays Book directly with Red Sea Holidays and your e-ticket will be emailed to you 21 days prior to departure. For bookings within 21 days of departure, the e-ticket will be emailed within 24 hours of booking. It is important that you double check your email address when booking, and we recommend that you add the following address to your email address list to ensure that ticket is received in your inbox: customersupport@ redseaholidays.co.uk

Bookings made through a travel agent

Book with a travel agent, and your e-tickets will be emailed to the travel agent 21 days prior to departure. For bookings within 21 days of departure, the e-ticket will be emailed to the travel agent within 24 hours of booking. The travel agent will then forward the e-tickets to you.

Check your ticket

Double check that the names on the e-ticket match those on your passports, and that it includes details of both the outbound flight from the UK and the return flight to the UK. If there are any problems with the e-ticket, contact your travel agent as soon as possible or for direct bookings, contact Red Sea Holidays directly. If you received your e-ticket by email, you must print out a copy of the ticket prior to travel.

Check in

You must check in for your flight at least 2 hours prior to departure. This is to give you enough time to check in, go through airport security, and reach your departure gate. If you do not check in to your flight on time, the airline is entitled to refuse you boarding the flight. We cannot accept responsibility in this situation, and while we will endeavour to assist you in making alternate travel arrangements, any costs or loss incurred will be your responsibility. If you fail to check in for your outward flight from the UK, we reserve the right to cancel any other elements of your holiday, and you will be unable to use your return flight to the UK. No refund can be given for any unused elements. When you arrive at the check-in desk, please have your tickets and passport ready. You will be asked to check in your baggage. Bulky items may need to be taken to a different baggage drop off area. Once you are checked-in, please proceed to the departure gates via airport security. You must be at your departure gate no later than 45 minutes prior to the departure time, or the airline may not allow you to travel. Passengers who are refused travel will be responsible for arranging alternative travel at their own expense.

Security

You should pack your own luggage and keep your luggage with you at all times. Unattended luggage will be removed and destroyed. Never carry packages or presents for anyone else.

Hand luggage

Most airlines allow only one item of hand luggage per person, subject to a maximum weight of 5kg, and no bigger than 45 x 28 x 22cm. You will be asked to show your hand baggage when you check in. If it does not meet these criteria, you will have to check it in.

Sharp and dangerous objects

Sharp and potentially dangerous objects such as knives, scissors, tweezers and laser pointers may not be carried in hand luggage. They must be packed in your hold luggage. If

Ask your local travel agent • Call 0207 332 2660 • Visit redseaholidays.co.uk

you pack them in your hand luggage, they will be confiscated.

Liquids

Limited quantities of liquids, gels and pastes can be carried in hand luggage. Containers must hold no more than 100ml and must be carried in a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag, which measures approximately 20cm x 20cm. Contents must fit comfortably inside the bag, so it can be sealed. Essential medicines, inhalers and liquid dietary foodstuffs You are allowed to carry essential medicines of more than 100ml in your hand baggage, but you will need:  prior approval from the airline and departure airport  supporting documentation from a relevant medical professional. Only take what you need for your journey. Extra supplies and larger containers can go in your hold baggage.

Baby food and baby milk

You are allowed to take baby food, baby milk and sterilised water in your hand baggage. You are allowed to take enough for the journey. In some cases, this may be over 100ml. The adult carrying the baby food or milk may be asked to verify it by tasting.

Hold luggage

All our brochure priced holidays include at least 20kg per person luggage allowance. If you have more than 20kg luggage per person and it is not pre-booked, it will be liable to excess baggage charges. Individual items of luggage must not exceed 30kg. Additional baggage allowance can be purchased from the airline prior to departure.

Sports equipment

Sports equipment, golf clubs and diving equipment are generally accepted by airlines, weight and space-permitting. Charges will apply, payable either at time of booking or at the airport. If not pre-booked, excess baggage charges will apply. We recommend that you have specific insurance for these items. Contact your airline to pre-book sports equipment.

Valuables

We recommend that you pack any valuables such as money, credit cards, jewellery, keys, mobile phones and cameras, in your hand luggage, not your hold luggage. You should also ensure that you have adequate insurance cover against loss or damage.

Safety in the air

We always try to help you enjoy your holiday flight as much as you can, but we also have to look out for the safety and comfort of all the passengers on a flight. For that reason, the airlines we use have the right to refuse travel or impose additional conditions of carriage on any passenger who:  Is intoxicated or disruptive;  Is caught smoking on the aircraft;  Makes inappropriate remarks, such as indicating that they may be carrying a bomb, gun or other weapon. Passengers who are refused travel will be responsible for arranging alternative travel at their own expense.

Smoking

All our partner airlines operate a total smoking ban. Smoking on board is against the law and punishable by a fine. Deep Vein Thrombosis Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition where blood clots develop in the veins of the legs. Sitting still for a long time may be an underlying factor in this, so air travel can result in developing DVT. Passengers can reduce the risk of DVT by wearing compression socks, walking around, and doing some simple exercises. Your airline will provide details in their in-flight magazine. Some people may be more at risk than others, so we recommend that you seek advice, for instance from the UK Department of Health (www.dh.gov.uk) or consult your GP.

Airline upgrades and extras

We use a number of airlines to operate our holidays, many offer a number of optional flight extras and upgrades to prebook, including:  Legroom seats  Seats together  In-flight meals  Extra baggage allowance  Carriage of sports equipment Please check at time of booking what optional upgrades and extras can be pre-booked with your selected airline.

In-flight meals

The airlines we use offer an optional in-flight catering menu. The menu includes a variety of hot and cold snacks, plus soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. Meals can be purchased on board or in some cases can be booked in advance by contacting the airline directly.

Flight times

All flight times in this brochure are shown in 24 hour clock time. They are correct at time of going to print but are subject to confirmation and alteration. We also reserve the right to substitute alternative airlines and aircraft at any time. For the latest flight times visit our website, give us a call, or speak to your travel agent.

Where we are only able to inform you of the likely carrier(s) at the time of booking, we will inform you of the identity of the

operating carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of this. Any change to the operating carrier(s) after your booking has been confirmed will be notified to you as soon as possible.
