Charter air packages and Land Only packages will receive the cost of the package, less the PPP fee on a PPP voucher, which must be redeemed within one year from the original departure date. 2. Scheduled-Air packages will receive a PPP voucher for the cost of the land portion less the PPP fee. Clients will receive the airline ticket numbers [or paper tickets] and be advised of the ticket cost. Clients can use the cost of the airline ticket, less the airline change fee [usually $150 to $250 per ticket] to purchase a newticketto: a] the same Vacation Express destination on same carrier, b] a different Vacation Express destination on same carrier, or c] any destination that the issuing carrier flies. If clients take option "c" they must contact the issuing airline direct for reservations. VERY IMPORTANT – Scheduled-Air tickets must be used by one year from original purchase date. Any increases in the air or hotel price of rebooked vacations are the responsibility of the traveler. Travel certificates are issued in the original names of the passengers on the booking at the time of cancellation. The certificates are non-transferable and name changes will not be accepted. Any tickets that are booked in basic economy class cannot be changed, carry no residual value and are non-refundable. PPP can be repurchased when rebooking clients' vacation with the original PPP voucher. Please note that the newly purchased PPP will only offer full protection for cancellation until the original date of departure.
