Any discrepancies should be brought to our attention within 7 days of issue, otherwise the details on the booking documents will be deemed to be correct.

(i) Due to the fact that we plan holiday programmes months in advance, it is sometimes necessary to make changes to the accommodation described on our web site.  In such cases, where possible, you will be allocated accommodation of a similar or superior nature. If we are not able to provide similar accommodation and the only available accommodation is of a lower standard, we will refund you the difference in the cost of the two accommodations. If for reasons beyond our control we cannot provide alternative accommodation any monies paid to Holiday Enterprises will be refunded.

(i) We cannot be held liable to accept responsibility for death, bodily injury or illness caused on holiday unless it is proved that it is due to the negligence of our employees. This company’s liability in any action will be limited to twice the base cost of the holiday (as per your Booking Confirmation form).

We will not be liable to provide alternative arrangements or repatriation nor will we cover any costs that you may incur or make any refunds.

5. Airport Transfers

(i) Our transfers (where booked) will meet the flight indicated in the booking 30 minutes after the time indicated on your booking confirmation document. You must notify us of any changes at least 7 days before your arrival date.  If your group number changes (either up or down), you must inform us, so that we can ensure to send the correct size of vehicle to the airport.  A minimum charge of €40pp each way will be levied to customers who arrive or depart on a flight other than that specified on their booking form (if we can offer an alternative transfer).

(ii) The majority of transfers will be meeting only passengers from your flight and other flights arriving about the same time, so you will depart from the airport without delay.  There are some exceptions to this and we do reserve the right to delay a transfer for up to 90 minutes if it is necessary for any reason.  Please see our transfer information page. The transfer may be in one of our own vehicles or subcontracted to a local taxi or coach operator.

(iii)  If your arrival flight is delayed by more than half an hour where possible the transfer vehicle will wait for you, however there will be a charge for this. As the costs to Flexible Breaks will vary significantly depending on the individual circumstances we will apply a flat rate charge of €10 per half hour (or part of half hour) per person. If the delay of your arrival involves our transfer vehicle/s needing to travel from your original arrival airport to another airport there will be an additional charge of €0.20 per person per extra kilometre that the vehicle has to travel.  

Note:  Unless you advise us otherwise we will assume that you wish the transfer vehicle to wait for you where possible in the event of your flight being delayed.
