How to Book

##### To arrange your travel insurance (which includes COVID19 cover) please telephone Holiday Extras on 0800 083 3551.

We strongly recommend that you and all members of your party are suitably insured as soon as you book your holiday, protecting against unforeseen circumstances that could otherwise spoil your trip. It is a condition of booking that you must have suitable travel insurance. It is important that you purchase travel insurance that suitably covers your participation in whatever activities you may undertake at the time that you make your booking.

Ensuring that your holidays are adequately protected is one of our main priorities. That's why we have specifically chosen Holiday Extras as our preferred provider to ensure that you are protected before and whilst you are travelling. Holiday Extras are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and have been awarded the “Best Travel Insurance Provider” by the Travel Weekly Globe awards for the past twelve years.

For more information or to obtain a quote please go to their website [https://www.holidayextras.com/travel-insurance.html?agent=WK830](https://www.holidayextras.com/travel-insurance.html?agent=WK830 "Holiday Extras Insurance")  Or call them on 0800 083 3551 to speak to a friendly advisor.

Should you decide not to purchase your insurance policy from Holiday Extras, you must provide us with details of your alternative insurance. The insurance must apply to all persons named on the booking and for whom a premium has been paid. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.

We reserve the right to cancel your holiday if we discover that you do not have suitable insurance cover for your holiday - in this case cancellation charges as set out in our booking conditions will apply.

Our brochures are usually launched a minimum of six months before departure and in some cases even a year in advance.

### Flight Costs
All airlines have different levels of seat prices which are dependant on how far in advance of the departure date the seats are booked. The price increases as each block of seats is sold until the aircraft is full. Our brochure prices are based on the lowest seat prices and when these are sold our computer system will automatically search for the next level of fare available from that airline. This extra cost will be reflected in the price quoted to you by our reservations consultants or in your online booking. These different levels of seat prices can put as much as £200-£300 on the cost which is why our flight supplements are always quoted as “from” a particular figure and is why, at the time of booking, the price quoted may be higher than that in the brochure.

### Hotel Costs
Our hotel costs, on the other hand, do not vary according to the time you book your holiday as these have been contracted at fixed rates. As we buy our currency in advance we also do not charge any currency surcharges.

There are, however, instances where our special offers have run out due to high demand and in these instances you will be offered the same holiday without those special offers.

The offer that usually runs out first is that offering no single supplement. While we endeavour to satisfy our clients who seek the benefit of our offers, the supply is not limitless and they tend to sell out quickly.

With regard to airfares and our special offers it pays to book early.

#### At the airport
New protocols have been introduced at all airports to keep you safe. These include:

#### Increased cleaning operations
- Limiting terminal access and the suspension of some facilities to ensure social distancing
- Introduction of hygiene stations
- Possible temperature checks
- Passengers generally should maintain social distancing, wear masks at all times, reduce contact where possible and frequently wash hands
- Airport check-in, security and boarding will all have measures to ensure your safety and to limit contact

#### On flight restrictions
All airlines have introduced measures to keep you safe these include increased cleaning operations and the wearing of masks. Please refer to the airline website for more information.

### Welcome and your transfer
Our representatives in resort will meet you on arrival and will be able to advise on what measures are being taken to keep you safe on the transfer to your hotel which may include the wearing of face masks. Some transfers may be subject to additional stops and extended wait times and therefore be longer than usual as a consequence.

### Your hotel
All hotels have implemented measures to maximum cleanliness and safety. These vary from country to country but all have been developed in accordance with local government advice.

The extra measures may include increased frequency of cleaning operations, the provision of hygiene stations, the wearing of face masks and limitations on access to some facilities. It is likely that bars and restaurants will be operating at reduced capacity to ensure appropriate social distancing, this will vary depending upon whether the seating is internal or external.

Relaxing next to the pool or on the beach will also be subject to new protocols with increased cleaning operations or limitations on the number of people in a particular area to maintain social distancing. The great news is that you should all have more space to enjoy yourself in the sun.

### In resort
Please look out for local guidance on what restrictions and measures are in place in resort, our representatives as well as the hotel staff will be able to advise further. We would generally recommend that you should maintain social distancing, carry a protective mask and frequently wash your hands.

COVID-19 protocols

Safety

If you would like to change or upgrade your board basis, you can do this by calling our Customer Experience Team. If for any reason it is too late for us to do so, then the next best way to do this is to check with reception when you arrive. Most hotels that offer higher categories of board basis' will let you pay a supplement to upgrade locally, which is something you would be able to do directly with reception.

Can I  change/upgrade my board basis?

You can upgrade your room type by calling our Customer Experience Team. We will check the availability and the supplement to amend to your desired room type. If for any reason it is too late for us to do so, then the next best way to do this is to check with reception when you arrive as they will be able to confirm their availability for any room upgrades and the best possible price.

Can I upgrade my room type?

Hotel upgrades

We want your holiday to be everything you expect it to be and more, so if something isn’t as planned please get in touch with your Mercury Holidays representative. They will be sure to assist you as much as possible to try and resolve the issue straight away. If for some reason the issues can not be resolved whilst you are on holiday, then please write to our Customer Relations Team upon your return. You can either email __customerrelations@mercuryholidays.com__ or send a letter to __St Johns House, Suffolk Way, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1YL.__

How do I make a complaint whilst on holiday?

Complaints

If you are forced to return home early, we cannot refund the cost of any travel arrangements you have not used. If you cut short your holiday and return home early in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of accommodation and services provided, we will not offer you any refund for that part of your holiday not completed, or be liable for any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the circumstances, your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.

What happens if I need to come home early?

Cutting your holiday short

You can find out your pick up time either from the hotels reception, their information board or by contacting the Mercury Holidays Representative. If you have a private transfer, you can find out your pickup time either from reception or from contacting the Mercury Holiday representative.

Pick up times are normally available from 48 hours before your flight. All pick up times will be scheduled to ensure that you get to the airport with plenty of time to make your flight. As standard and shuttle transfers include picking up other passengers on the way, your pick up time may be earlier than expected.

Where can I find details regarding my transfers?

Transfer information

Check in times can vary between hotels, usually check in times would be betweem 01:00pm - 03:00pm on your arrival date. If you have an overnight flight with an early arrival time, you may have to wait until the hotel's check in time before you can have access to your room. You may be able to arrange early check in at the hotel's reception. Please note, this will be based on availability at the hotel and may not always be available. 

Check out times are typically between 10:00am - 12:00pm on the last day of your holiday. You'll be given details of the check-out time when you get to your hotel. If you have an evening flight, you may be able to arrange late check out with the hotel. Please note, this will be based on availability at the hotel and may not always be available. 

If early check in/check out options are not available, you may be able to store your suitcases at the hotel so you can explore or relax without worrying about them - the hotel will inform you of this at the time of check in/check out.
