Booking Terms and Conditions
Please read the following Terms and Conditions carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights, remedies and obligations. You must not make any booking unless you understand and agree with the following Terms and Conditions. References to ‘us’, ‘we’, ‘our’ and/or Infinity Holidays in these Terms and Conditions shall mean FCNZ (Company No. 349518), trading as Infinity Holidays. References to “you” and “your” shall mean the customer. References to “travel advisor” refers to third-party agents or agencies that partner with us to sell travel products and services to you, the customer.
We will rely on the authority of the person making the booking to act on behalf of any other traveller on the booking (regardless of whether other travellers have made separate payments) and that person will bind all such travellers to these Terms and Conditions.
BOOKING ARRANGEMENTS: To make a booking contact your travel advisor who will request a reservation for you. All reservations are subject to availability at the time of booking. Any verbal quote given is an estimate only and can only be confirmed when the reservation is confirmed and the deposit is received. All communications from us will be sent to your travel advisor. Please note that all official communications regarding your booking, including confirmations, changes, or additional information, will be directed through your travel advisor. Your travel advisor will, on receipt of any holiday monies, hold such monies for each and every person named in the booking until that booking is confirmed, at which time those monies shall be promptly remitted by your travel advisor, via Infinity Holidays, to the supplier.
AMENDMENTS: An amendment is a change to an existing booking with the same inclusions. Any supplier or airline amendment fees will be charged. A transfer to another package may be treated as a cancellation and operator cancellation fees may apply. If the new package is of greater value and no operator fees apply, there will be no amendment/reissue fee.
NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE HOLIDAY: All passengers are responsible for the cost of their own travel arrangements to and from their departure point. The cost of anything not specifically noted as being included in the holiday package is at the passenger’s expense.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS: Product descriptions are based on current international hotel guides and information provided by hotels and suppliers. Any facilities shown as included are subject to change at any time. Tours may not operate on certain dates, and durations and departure times are approximate only. The standard of accommodation and other services is based on various factors, which are generally accepted as indicative of a certain class. However, Infinity Holidays does not guarantee the standard, class or fitness for purpose of that accommodation or service.
BAGGAGE: Suppliers publish baggage allowances applicable for their own services. We recommend you check your baggage allowance, and baggage safety notices prior to departure.
PRE-DEPARTURE CONTACT: Please ensure you provide your travel advisor with a telephone number or address where you can be reached within 24 hours prior to your departure from New Zealand.
MAPS & PHOTOGRAPHS: Maps are shown for general information and are an indication only; they may not necessarily reflect actual routings, hotel and attraction locations, or services provided. Photographs show places in the geographic areas but are not necessarily included in the holiday. Hotel room photographs are representative only, and the actual rooms occupied may vary in decor and inclusions from those shown. Many images are supplied courtesy of tourist bureaus, hotels and tour operators.
SCHEDULE CHANGES: We recommend that you contact the travel service provider to confirm your scheduled departure time 24 hours prior to your departure.
PASSPORTS & VISAS: All travellers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least 6 months’ validity from the date of return, and some countries require a machine-readable passport. When assisting with an international travel booking, we will assume that all travellers on the booking have a valid New Zealand passport which is valid for the relevant destination and transit point. It is important to ensure that you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits which meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility.
If you are travelling to or transiting through the United States please see https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov for important information regarding compulsory pre-registration for their visa waiver program (“ESTA”). New Zealand passport holders will not be able to enter the United States without a valid ESTA (or visa). Please note, you may not meet the eligibility requirements of ESTA and may be required to obtain a visa. Note that if you have travelled to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Cuba, or Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), then you will likely not be eligible for the United States visa waiver program (ESTA) and will have to apply for a US visa (which requires an interview appointment and can take several months). Also note that nationals of ESTA countries who are also nationals of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, or Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) will also be unable to travel under the visa waiver program and will also have to apply for a US visa.
If you are travelling to or transiting through Canada please see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta.asp for important information regarding compulsory electronic travel authorization for visa-exempt foreign nationals (“ETA”). New Zealand passport holders will not be able to enter Canada without a valid ETA (or visa or permit) from 15 March 2016. Please note, you may not meet the eligibility requirements of ETA and may be required to obtain a visa or permit.
If you are travelling to or transiting through Europe
Please see https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees_en for important information regarding the new Entry-Exit System (EES). From 10 November 2024, The European Union is rolling out the new Entry-Exit System (EES). This automated system will require New Zealanders to scan their passports and biometric data at self-service kiosks every time they enter or exit the EU. This is designed to tighten border security for non-EU travellers, including those from the United Kingdom.
If you are travelling to or transiting through the United Kingdom
Please see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta for important information regarding compulsory electronic travel authorization for nationals who do not require a visa for short stays (“ETA”). New Zealand passport holders are not able to enter the United Kingdom on/after 8 January 2025 without a valid ETA.
We urge you to apply for entry visas, permits and applicable waivers/exemptions prior to booking your travel, particularly if you have any concerns about whether or not you might be eligible for an ESTA or ETA.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Travel documents include (without limitation) airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers or any other document (whether in electronic form or otherwise) used to confirm an arrangement with a service provider. Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and/or restrictions, including (without limitation) being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and/or subject to cancellation and/or other amendment fees. Travel documents cannot be transferred to another person to use. An incorrect name on a booking may result in an inability to use that booking, the booking being cancelled, and the application of additional change and/or cancellation fees. Any errors in names, dates and timings may result in an inability to use that booking and the booking being cancelled. Any errors in names, dates or timings on your documentation will be your responsibility if not reported at the time of booking.
Please ensure you read your travel documents carefully for details on baggage allowances and fees as these can vary from airline to airline and country to country. Excess baggage (if your airline allows it) can be expensive and is your responsibility.
TRAVEL INSURANCE: We strongly recommend that you takeout appropriate comprehensive travel insurance to cover your travel arrangements. Your insurance protection should include cover for cancellation; medical and repatriation expenses; personal injury and accident; death; loss of personal baggage and money; and personal liability insurance. Evidence of such insurances should be produced to Infinity Holidays on request. Insurance cover offered by credit card companies or reciprocal medical cover agreements are often not comprehensive. Travel insurance is strongly recommended by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (“MFAT”) for all overseas travel. Your travel advisor can provide information to you about travel insurance.
HEALTH AND TRAVEL ADVICE: We recommend that you contact MFAT or visit their website at https://www.safetravel.govt.nz/ for general health and travel advice, as well as specific advice (including safety alert levels) relating to the destination you wish to visit. You can also register your travel plans with MFAT, so that you may be more easily contacted in an emergency.
You must ensure that you are aware of any health requirements and recommended precautions relevant to your travel and ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation. In some cases, failure to present required vaccination documentation (e.g. proof of Yellow Fever vaccination) may deny you entry into a country. We recommend that you consult with your local doctor, travel medical service or specialist vaccination clinic before commencing your travel.
Whether any medical requests can be accommodated, including (without limitation) access to power, refrigeration and travelling with the use of mobility aids, is subject to the travel service provider in their sole and absolute discretion, and will often depend on a number of factors, including (without limitation) any modes of transport and local standards at the destination. All medical requests are beyond our control. While we will include all medical requests as a file note to the travel service provider, we cannot guarantee that your request will be accommodated. It is your responsibility to follow up with the travel service provider directly either at the destination or prior to travelling where possible.
PRICES: All prices are subject to availability and can be withdrawn or varied without notice. Prices are only guaranteed once your booking has been paid for in full. Please note that prices quoted are subject to change. Price changes may occur by reason of matters outside our control which increase the cost of the product and/or service. Such factors include, but are not limited to, adverse currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes and airfare increases. Some product and/or service prices are ‘Instant Purchase’ due to the dynamic pricing of products and/or services and constantly changing availability, and so can only be secured if paid for in full immediately when quoted (and even once paid for by you in full, a product and/or service price may not be able to be secured for you, because the price (e.g. an airfare or a room-rate) may become unavailable in the short time period between your payment being processed by us and our booking systems being able to make the booking for you due to availability or changes in the travel service provider’s booking and yield management systems). By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you expressly acknowledge your acceptance of these conditions (i.e., increases before full payment and increases after full payment will be your responsibility) applicable to your client’s purchase. You agree that you will be responsible for obtaining your client’s written consent to any increases to prices in accordance with this section and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Infinity Holidays against any claims arising out of such a failure to obtain written. consent.
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS: We receive remuneration through commissions, financial incentives, fees or payments, rebates, other means including transaction processing fees, merchant service fees or other payments or credits of a similar nature and other means (together, “financial arrangements”) from third party travel service providers, card issuers, credit providers, payment service providers and/or other suppliers/partners for booking travel and travel-related products and/or services on your behalf. We are entitled to retain, and we are not required to account to you, for any such fees, payments or credits we may receive. We are not required by law to disclose the nature or value of these financial arrangements.
DEPOSITS & FINAL PAYMENTS : You may be required to pay a deposit or deposits when booking. Your travel advisor will advise you of how much that will be. Subject to your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act, all deposits are non-refundable for changes of mind or cancellations by you or if the travel service provider’s terms and conditions provide that your deposit is non-refundable. If your deposit is refundable, this is subject to us having received the funds from the travel service provider and/or being authorised by the travel service provider to refund your deposit. A deposit will generally secure your booking/seat, however prices quoted may change before you make the final payment for the reasons outlined in section 5 above. Final payment is required no later than 15 days prior to departure unless otherwise stated. Some products and/or services must be paid in full at the time of booking.
CHANGE & CANCELLATION FEES: Subject to your refund and remedy rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act, any change and cancellation fees that will apply to your booking are set out in your quote, tax invoice and/or itinerary (as applicable) and as set out in the sections below:
Payment of change or cancellation fees via credit card may attract the applicable credit card surcharges or fees.
All bookings are made on your behalf subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the travel service provider. If, for example, a travel service provider’s terms and conditions contain a “no refund policy”, for change of mind or cancellation, you will only be provided with the remedy as provided by the travel service provider (if any), which may include a travel credit supplied by the travel service provider.
SUPPLIER/TRAVEL SERVICE PROVIDER INSOLVENCY: To the extent permitted by law, neither we nor any of our related bodies corporate, directors, employees or agents, accept any liability for any consequences arising from the insolvency of a third-party provider. This includes any losses, delays, or inconveniences experienced by travellers or travel advisors due to the insolvency of airlines, tour operators, cruise lines, accommodation providers, or other service entities. You should address any issues related to supplier insolvency with your respective travel advisor, who is responsible for assisting with alternative arrangements or solutions. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a third party provider being unable to provide you with the product or service you have booked due to that third party provider becoming insolvent or being placed under external administration, subject to your refund and remedy rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act, we have no obligation to reimburse you for the cost of your booking, or for any loss or damage you may otherwise suffer as a result of any such insolvency or external administration.
TRAVEL SERVICE PROVIDER CHANGE & CANCELLATION FEES: Changed or cancelled bookings for any reason (including by reason of matters outside your or our control) may also incur travel service provider fees, which can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Travel service provider fees may also apply where a booking is changed for any reason and when tickets or documents are re-issued. Your travel advisor will inform you about any such potential fees and the conditions under which they apply. Where we incur any liability for a travel service provider change or cancellation fee for any booking which is changed or cancelled for any reason, you agree to indemnify us for the amount of that fee. Where you seek a refund for a changed or cancelled booking for which payment has been made to the travel service provider, we will facilitate the refund process through your travel advisor. We will not provide a refund to you until we receive the funds from that travel service provider (which may take 12 weeks, or longer, dependent upon the travel service provider processing time). In the event we are still holding the funds, we can only provide you with a refund once we are authorised by the travel service provider to process your refund, subject to that travel service provider’s change or cancellation policy. Your travel advisor will be your point of contact throughout this process and will keep you informed of the progress of any refund request.
CHANGE OR CANCELLATION BY YOU: If you change any aspect of your booking, we will do our best to accommodate your request, but it may not always be possible. All changes will be subject to any applicable travel service provider fees and you will be responsible for any increase in pricing that may occur as a result of your change request.
If you cancel any aspect of your booking, your deposit may be forfeited, and you will be required to pay any applicable travel service provider fees and we will provide you with a refund for the remaining funds (if any) Alternatively, Infinity Holidays or the travel service provider may offer you a travel credit for the full amount paid by you without applying any applicable travel service provider fees If your deposit or booking is refundable, this is subject to Infinity Holidays having received the funds from the travel service provider and/or being authorised by the travel service provider to refund your deposit or booking funds.

Alternatively, subject to the travel service provider’s change or cancellation policy, the travel service provider may offer you a refund of all money paid by you in respect of the booking, from which the travel service provider and/or Infinity Holidays will deduct any unrecoverable costs, and any applicable travel service provider fees and our applicable cancellation fees.
