7.2 Combination of single tickets (One-way combination)

In order to obtain special fares when creating certain bookings we either combine two or more one-way fares on different airlines or on the same airline. Even if the stages are booked together, they are treated individually .This means that each stage of your journey is handled separately in the event of cancellations, alterations, traffic disruption such as strikes, and timetable changes. Each airline's own regulations will apply.

7.3 Force Majeure

Please note that Thetravelmakers is not responsible for any trips cancelled due to civil strife, industrial dispute including air traffic control disputes, environmental disasters, acts of war, strikes or other unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control or the airline’s control.

We do not reimburse any supplementary arrangements for the trip, such as rail tickets, hotel accommodation, car rental, or visas. If the change to the timetable results in late arrival at the hotel or car rental company, the traveller must contact the hotel or car rental company personally to let them know.
