Package Holidays and Tour Operator Holidays
Where Package Holidays are offered for sale these are supplied by leading Irish Tour Operators for an inclusive price. These arrangements will typically include transportation (usually schedule or charter flights on fixed departure dates and for a fixed duration), accommodation, transfers and representative services in resort for an inclusive price. Package holidays are protected under the Tour Operator’s own IAA License. Cassidy Travel acts as your agent to book holidays on your behalf with the following: . 2) Flight only and or individual travel arrangements Flight and hotel arrangements generally offer much greater flexibility than Package Holidays giving the traveler the opportunity to choose from a vast array of flights for a range of durations. To these arrangements can be added accommodation, car hire, transfers, and travel insurance as required. Each booking is a separate and distinct booking and our bookings, even though they may be linked to the same dates of travel do not constitute a package holiday. All bookings are purchased individually at their own individual price. The total price for several bookings is the sum of the price charged for each individual booking, which will include Cassidy Travel’s commission. Charter flights – all charter flights available on this website are fully protected via the scheme operated by the Commission for Aviation Regulation (IAA). Refunds are provided by IAA, if applicable, directly to you. All of these arrangements clearly carry the message on the acknowledgement and confirmation pages and on the confirmation email you receive.

Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU Airports and will also be available from the affected airlines. The reimbursement of the cost of a flight that forms part of your travel itinerary does not change the booking conditions of the other travel arrangements.
