In the shadow of the corona virus, the reason for changing the route or turning the country red is not a reason for cancellation and any cancellation by the passenger will incur a cancellation fee as written in the itinerary. The passenger has the duty and responsibility to purchase a comprehensive insurance policy that includes a Corona section that also insures cancellation fees for any reason

Due to the corona situation, in accordance with the frequent changes in entry to each and every country, it is the responsibility of the traveler who registers for the trip to check the entry conditions for each country on the official website of each country he intends to enter on the trip and this as long as he stayed in the 2 months prior to the departure of the trip in a country other than the State of Israel.

Before registering for the trip, the traveler must check the conditions of entry into the country on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the website of the Ministry of Health and the website of the airport Authority:

https://www.gov.il/he/departments/topics/corona-ministry-of-foreign-affairs

https://www.gov.il/he/departments/air-travel-covid19-israel

https://www.iaa.gov.il/airports/ben-gurion/notifications-and-updates-during-covid-19/

It is also recommended to check in advance the terms of an insurance policy that covers the traveler with medical insurance including the corona virus, including cancellation fees. It will be clarified that if a traveler feels corona symptoms during the trip, it is his sole responsibility to evacuate for a corona test and self-isolate until the results of the test. Only the traveler or the insurance company will bear the associated expenses. The traveler understands that the tour guide and/or the trip itself must continue and the traveler’s relationship from that moment on will be with his insurance company.

Prices include:

flights

The flights are carried out by scheduled airlines unless otherwise indicated (for example, charter flights) in most cases directly (but not always). In exceptional situations or due to other impossibility, there are situations of intermediate landings or even a change of plane. There may be exceptional cases where the airline carries out overbooking (even without the knowledge of the organizing company), which is allowed according to the regulations and laws of the International Airline Association (IATA). In these exceptional cases, NBATrips will make every effort to keep damage to a minimum, if any.

NBATrips is not responsible for delays in aircraft takeoffs and landings as well as flight cancellations. These are the responsibility of the airlines.

NBATrips is not responsible for changing airlines, for aircraft leases and is not responsible for updating this in advance.

Getting to flights during the trip is the sole responsibility of the traveler. Any delay due to a personal reason may lead to missed flight and automatic cancellation of onward flights by the airline. In this situation, it is possible that the traveler will be required to purchase new flight tickets at his own expense.

Non-group flight: NBATrips will make an effort to allow those who wish to return without the group (up to 10% of travelers in the group) to find flights on the days requested by the traveler requesting it. There is no guarantee that NBATrips will succeed and the company does not guarantee in advance that this will be possible. There will be an increase in the price of the flights due to this requested exception, the NBATrips increase will be added to the price of the trip. Regardless, NBATrips will charge a handling fee of $50 which will be in addition to a possible change in the flight prices resulting from the request for a change. There is no possibility of an individual departure exception before the departure of the trip.

Travelers in groups purchase tickets according to criteria that refer to groups and not to individuals. If there is a deviation from this group framework when leaving or returning from abroad, this will involve an additional expense of $50 involved in handling it regardless of the cost difference resulting from the change in the group component of the ticket price or from the change itself in the destination/length of stay within the known flight rates, these will be charged as the case may be the specific.

If the luggage was lost during the flights, this is not the responsibility of NBATrips, but the traveler must declare this at the airport. It should be noted that if he did not do so, the airline will not have any direct or indirect responsibility for this loss. That’s why it’s important to go to the LOST AND FOUND stand on the spot, and declare it.

It is not possible to choose seats on the plane as part of a group ticket in advance. Unlike an individual ticket, where the agent can choose seats in many cases, in groups it is not possible .NBATrips cannot guarantee in advance benefits on group flight tickets (frequent flyer points, bonuses, etc.) offered by the airlines to different destinations.

In this case, the bus will be available to NBATrips in the evening hours to carry out the promised program (for the consideration of the group guide in the organized trip).

In the double rooms, the beds can be double or 2 separate beds. In special cases, there may be double rooms where the bed is a combi (allowing accommodation for 2 people in the room). A single traveler will receive a roommate (of the same sex) and claims of incompatibility (age, smoking, etc.) will not be accepted. Those interested will be able to stay in a separate room (single room) for an additional fee.

It is the responsibility of roommates to check the degree of suitability before registering for the trip and signing a partner’s approval.

When booking a room for three, especially in hotels of good or first class tourism, there is a probability that an extra bed will be put in the room without the room being adapted for the accommodation of three. It is not possible to guarantee a large room and comfort in advance (you have to take into account that the room will be crowded).

There are cases where porters may not be provided due to the unavailability of the porter at the hotels – these cases are rare, but if they do occur they usually occur in remote locations where the hotel is forced to take irregular porters or upon late arrival due to the lengthening of the day of travel and arrival when the porter has already left the hotel.

transportation

The bus that will be available to the group will be a modern and special air-conditioned bus for tourists in accordance with the published program. A driver’s working day is based on 8 hours.

As of today and as far as NBATrips is aware, in the State of Israel it is not possible to purchase an insurance policy that covers damages from road accidents.

The traveler is aware and understands that there is no insurance coverage for NBATrips regarding damages caused as a direct or indirect result of road accidents abroad.

Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of the passengers to purchase a personal travel insurance policy that covers any damage that may be caused to the traveler as a direct or indirect result of a traffic accident.
