It is important to read this information and the associated tabs carefully. The Terms and Conditions include our Payment Policy, Cancellation Policy, Validity of Prices, Liability details and other important information

Additional Passengers Additional passengers (parents, siblings, relatives, friends etc.) are welcome (and encouraged) to join the tour at any time as long as seats are available on the airline’s group reservation. Any passengers joining the tour after the airline group reservation has been filled has deposited will be subject to airline costing on that date.

Airline Information Airlines reserve the right to increase their departure tax (based on airport fees / government security taxes) and fuel surcharges at any time. To maintain the quoted tour price it is essential that the payment installments are received on the stated dates. To minimize any increases Quest Sports Travel strongly recommends that the group ‘ticket’ all passengers as early as possible. ‘Ticketing’ requires payment in full to the airline. Once ticketed, airfare costs are non-refundable.

Departure City: The departure city for this tour will be Washington. All efforts are made to secure the most direct and cost effective routing. Routing and cost implications will be discussed with tour leaders before publication of flight details. Flight details will be available in October 2021.

Airline Deposit: Airlines deposits become non-refundable by the airline 91 days+ prior to departure. To be included in the group airfare pricing, registration is required before May 15th, 2022. After that date passengers can still be added, but price will be based on purchase at applicable fare on that purchase date. It may also still be possible to be added to the group reservation after that date, but the airline reserves the right to increase pricing for late additions.

Flight Deviations: Airline rules allow flight deviations for individual passengers on either the departure or the return legs of the group reservation, as long as the return is made from the same airport as the main group. Airlines charge a deviation fee to do so. The fee depends on the airline. Airlines may also limit the time pre/post tour of travel and may charge additional cost based on availability on date of travel

Land Only Passengers: If you do not live in the Washington area and would like to make your own flight arrangements from another airport, you can travel as a ‘Land Only’ passenger. If required, Quest Sports Travel can assist in securing airfare from your airport of choice. Likewise, if you opt to secure your own airfare using frequent flyer miles (see below) you will also travel on a ‘Land Only’ basis. If you are traveling “Land Only” you must inform Quest Sports Travel at least 91 days prior to departure so that your seat is released before it becomes payable in full and non-refundable. The Land Only package cost is the Full Tour cost minus the cost of group airfare, which at the time of the quote is $1100 per person.

Frequent Flyer Programs: Airlines do not accept frequent flier miles as payment for group airfare. If a traveler wishes to use frequent flier miles they must secure their own airfare and will pay Quest Sports Travel a ‘Land Only’ cost. No alterations will be made to the published itinerary to service individuals traveling separately from the main group

Laws This agreement is subject to the laws and jurisdiction of the state of New York.

Local Laws: Passengers are required to abide by all local laws, including any customs and health & safety protocols. Any breach of this requirement may result in removal from the tour and passengers will be required to return home at their own expense.

Please note, credit card payments have additional processing fees as follows:
VISA = 2.9%

Should we need to process a refund these credit card fees are non-refundable in addition to any cancellation fees in effect at the time of withdrawal as they are not returned to us by the credit card companies 

Quest Sports Travel must fulfill responsibilities with vendors (e.g. hotels, bus companies) in advance of the tour and is therefore only able to refund cancellations as follows (per person):

Until 12/22/21 = No Penalty

Cancel after 12/21/21 but before 02/22/22 = $425.00 penalty per person 

Cancel after 02/21/22 but before 04/22/22 = $850.00 penalty per person 

Cancel after 04/21/22 but before 05/22/22 = $1250.00 penalty per person

Cancel after 05/21/22 = No refund

All cancellations must be in writing (email) and received by Quest Sports Travel before the stated dates in order to receive the appropriate refund. Refund payments are made as quickly as vendor reimbursements allow.

Please note, if you purchase Travel Insurance whether through our recommended provider Travelex or independently, Insurance Premiums are also non refundable in addition to the penalty amounts listed above.

Force Majeure - In the event Quest Sports Travel is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, pandemic or other causes reasonably beyond its control, Quest Sports Travel shall not be liable for damages beyond the amounts agreed in the cancellation policy from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.

***Review the Covid Policy tab for details on how the pandemic could effect the published cancellation policy

Our primary goal is for you to travel safely and with confidence.

Our Cancellation Policy has been developed with vendors to extend "no penalty" stages as long as possible. Dates published in the cancellation policy allow full refunds for a far greater period of time than pre-Covid tours allowed.

Both air and land vendors do require some cancellation fees once we get within a certain time from departure. These will apply in all instances.

If travel is limited before the full refund period expires we will discuss with the group whether to proceed or cancel in time to protect everyone's deposits.

As occurred in 2020, should travel become limited again after the full refund date passes, Quest Sports Travel will utilize best efforts to re-negotiate these contracts with vendors. Industry standard is to provide credit for future travel in lieu of non-refundable deposits - so we anticipate a credit option again should the tour have to be cancelled once we pass the full refund date.

Force Majeure. In the event Quest Sports Travel is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, pandemic or other causes reasonably beyond its control, Quest Sports Travel shall not be liable for damages beyond the amounts agreed in the cancellation policy from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.

Travel Protection is recommended and available through Arch RoamRight Insurance. These policies include medical coverage while playing sport internationally (most policies become void if you are injured while playing) as well as allowing cancellation for medical issues or bereavement.
