3.1. Price


Prices are confirmed at the final step of the booking path at the point when you click "Buy now", "Make the reservation" or similar, depending on product purchased.

3.2. Booking confirmation


After you complete your booking, you will receive a confirmation email with a booking number. This is the moment that your contract in relation to the products and services ordered will come into existence. This confirmation email will provide all the details of your booking. Next, we will check that your booking has been correctly entered in booking system and that your payment can be correctly processed.

For flight booking, our obligation to issue the ticket will be subject to your payment having been received in cleared funds. Furthermore, for security and/or fraud-protection purposes, we reserve the right to request more documentation in order to process your booking, in case this is made twenty-four (24) hours prior to scheduled departure of initial itinerary for travel.

In relation to the "special requests" options relating to any product (eg meals, disabled facilities, child seats etc.), we do not guarantee any such requests.

3.3. Changes and cancellations


If your travel plans change and you must cancel your booking please do so at the earliest possible time as many products have strict cancellation and refund policies and in some cases are non-refundable (refer to your booking Terms & Conditions for full details). If you do not cancel in advance you may also incur a “no- show” fee in addition to any other supplier fees charged.

If you wish to proceed with the cancellation, please either access your booking using the My Booking facility on our website, advising us of your specific requirements or you may call our Customer Support team on + 971 566282808 which is open 24 hours every day.

Darina Holidays reserves the right to replace Hotels of equal or superior star rating when necessary.
Darina holidays will not take over or take responsibility for any reservation at the hotel which was not booked through Darina Office

Most changes are minor. Occasionally we might need to make a major change, which would include a change of hotel due to hotel closure or overbooking; a pricing error. This list is not exhaustive and there may be other examples of a major change. Change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard does not constitute being a major change.

In the unlikely event that the provider has to make a major change or alteration to your booking, we will offer you :

a) the option of accepting the change;
b) purchasing alternative Arrangements of a similar standard to those originally booked if available (if the alternative is less expensive than the original Arrangements the difference will be refunded to you, but if more expensive you will be asked to pay the difference); or
c) if we are unable to offer you a suitable alternative cancelling the booking and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us in connection with the impacted booking.

3.5. Refund


If you cancel your booking, you may be entitled to a partial refund. In addition to the cancellation terms and conditions of your Supplier(s), our standard fees will apply as may be outlined on your receipt or booking confirmation.

The refundable portion of your purchase price (if any) will be refunded to you once we have received the funds back from the Supplier(s). To the extent we are refunded by the Supplier, we shall pass this refund onto you.

If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim your cancellation charges through your insurer.

If you have a booking for any of our products or services, including flights, but you do not show up to check-in or otherwise do not avail yourself of such product or service (“no show”), you will not be entitled to any refund. Subject to the relevant airline's policy you may, however, be entitled to a refund of any departure tax you may have paid for your flight (excluding low cost flights).

4. Payment


Payment can be made by the payment methods listed on the individual signed mutual agreement. Payment methods other than those stated are not accepted and no responsibility is accepted for cash or cheques sent through the post.

You authorize us or an authorized third party to take full payment for the total amount of your purchase. When pay by credit card, payment for your flights may be taken directly by the airline. Please note that you may be required to present your payment card at the time of check-in to provide confirmation of authorized card use or to secure any additional charges.

If there are any problems with your payment, we will contact you within 48 hours (or within 24 hours if you are travelling within 48 hours).

We will issue the confirmation for any booking within the amount of credit facilities.

We are not obliged to issue any tickets, confirmations, vouchers or other travel documents, in case the amount of the credit facility will be exceeded. In order to proceed with the confirmation, the payment process has to be finalized and the funds should be received in our bank account. However, in all cases the Customer remains liable for payment of the full amounts for the Services ordered.

After completion of the payment and booking confirmation, you will receive by Darina Holidays LLC all necessary documents (receipt, invoice) by e-mail to the e-mail address you have indicated during your booking.

5. Passport, Visas and Health Requirements


Please ensure you have a passport valid for the duration of your trip. (Some destinations require your passport be valid for a certain length of time; in general, 6 months after completion of travel).

Each destination has its own requirements as far as entry formalities, vaccinations, etc. which can also vary depending on the passenger's nationality. It is your responsibility to collect that information. No incidents arising from the failure to comply with such official regulations will be considered our responsibility. We therefore urge you to always verify the different formalities of the chosen destination or transit countries, as well as the time needed to take all of the related steps.
