Terms and Conditions

1.1 About Global Wings TD

Global Wings is a full-service travel agency offering domestic and international air ticketing, hotel and accommodation bookings, visa facilitation, tailor-made holiday packages, cruise and rail bookings, and corporate and group travel management. “TD” reflects our focus on Travel & Destinations — we act as your booking agent and travel planner, arranging services delivered by airlines, hotels, and other independent suppliers on your behalf.

1.2 Eligibility and Booking Requirements
  • The person making a booking must be at least 18 years old and must have the authority to book on behalf of everyone included in the booking.
  • Names, dates of birth, and passport details supplied for ticketing must match travel documents exactly. Airlines and other carriers may refuse boarding, or charge a correction fee, for mismatched details, and Global Wings is not liable for such refusals.
  • Travellers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or an adult formally authorised to travel with them, in line with the relevant carrier’s unaccompanied-minor policy where applicable.
1.3 Booking Confirmation and Ticketing

An enquiry or fare quotation is not a confirmed booking or issued ticket. Airfares, hotel rates, and package prices are not guaranteed until full payment has been received and, in the case of flights, the ticket has been issued. Fares and availability shown at enquiry stage may change or be withdrawn by the airline or supplier before payment is completed.

1.4 Pricing and Payments
  • Air ticket prices include the applicable base fare, carrier-imposed surcharges, and government or airport taxes in effect at the time of ticketing; these are set by the airline and not by Global Wings, and may change without notice until the ticket is issued.
  • Package and tour prices are based on the accommodation, transport, and inclusions confirmed in your itinerary, and remain provisional until confirmed in writing and secured with the required deposit.
  • A non-refundable service fee applies to ticketing, visa facilitation, and booking-amendment services, in addition to any charge made by the airline, hotel, or consulate.
  • Bank charges, card processing fees, and currency conversion costs are borne by the traveller unless we state otherwise.
1.5 Travel Documents, Visas and Entry Requirements

You are responsible for holding a valid passport with the required remaining validity, and any visa, transit permit, or electronic travel authorisation needed for your journey. Where we assist with a visa application, we submit the application on your behalf, but the decision to approve, refuse, or delay a visa rests solely with the relevant embassy or consulate. Visa and service fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the application.

1.6 Airline, Rail and Cruise Supplier Conditions

Each airline, railway, and cruise operator has its own conditions of carriage, baggage allowance, check-in requirements, and schedule-change policy, and these conditions govern the service actually provided. Where a carrier changes a schedule, cancels a service, or denies boarding, Global Wings will assist you in pursuing any remedy available under the carrier’s own conditions, but we are not the provider of that transport and do not guarantee its punctuality or availability.

1.7 Holiday Packages: Health, Safety and Participation

Where your booking includes a tour, excursion, or holiday package, please tell us in advance of any medical condition, mobility requirement, or dietary need that may affect your itinerary. Activities such as safaris, watersports, hiking, or cultural excursions carry an element of natural or physical risk, and guests take part in these at their own discretion, following the safety instructions of guides and activity operators.

1.8 Changes Requested by You

Name corrections, date changes, and rebooking requests are subject to the fare rules or supplier terms attached to your original booking, and may involve a change fee charged by the airline or supplier in addition to our own amendment fee. Some fare types and non-refundable package rates cannot be changed once ticketed or confirmed.

1.9 Changes Made by Suppliers or Global Wings

Airlines and other suppliers may change schedules, routings, or itinerary components after booking. Where we are notified of such a change, we will pass on the relevant information and available options as soon as reasonably possible. For package and tour bookings, we will offer a reasonable alternative of comparable value where a confirmed arrangement becomes unavailable due to circumstances outside our control.

1.10 Corporate and Group Bookings

Corporate accounts, group bookings, and travel-management arrangements may be subject to a separate written agreement covering credit terms, invoicing, and reporting. Where such an agreement exists, its terms take precedence over this general policy for matters it specifically covers.

1.11 Third-Party Service Providers

Airlines, hotels, ground handlers, visa facilitation partners, and other suppliers engaged to fulfil your booking are independent businesses. Global Wings selects its partners with care, but we are not liable for their acts, omissions, delays, insolvency, or service failures, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

1.12 Client Conduct

We ask all clients to provide accurate information and to deal with our staff, and with the staff of airlines, hotels, and other suppliers, respectfully. Global Wings reserves the right to decline or discontinue services where a client’s conduct is unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or seriously disruptive.

1.13 Website Use and Intellectual Property

All text, fare information, itineraries, branding, and other content on our website and marketing materials belong to Global Wings or our licensors and may not be copied, reproduced, or reused without our written permission. You agree not to misuse our website, booking engine, or communication channels, including by attempting unauthorised access or submitting fraudulent booking information.

1.14 Liability

Global Wings arranges and books the services you confirm with reasonable care and skill, acting as your agent in dealing with airlines, hotels, and other suppliers. We are not liable for loss, injury, delay, or additional expense caused by the acts or omissions of an airline, hotel, or other independent supplier, by events outside our reasonable control, or by inaccurate information provided to us by you, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

1.15 Force Majeure

We are not responsible for failure or delay in providing services due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, extreme weather, pandemics or epidemics, political unrest, strikes, airspace closures, or government travel restrictions. In such situations, we will help you pursue any remedy available from the relevant airline or supplier; refunds will depend on what is recoverable from that supplier and on the fare or rate conditions that applied to your booking.

1.16 Complaints and Dispute Resolution

If an issue arises during your journey, please contact our support line as soon as possible so that we can assist while you are still travelling. Complaints that cannot be resolved during travel should be submitted to us in writing within 14 days of your return, together with any relevant booking reference. We will review the matter in good faith and aim to reach a fair resolution, escalating to the relevant airline or supplier where the issue falls within their responsibility.

1.17 Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka, and the courts of Sri Lanka shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protections that may apply in your country of residence or under an applicable carrier’s conditions of carriage.

1.18 Amendments to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our services, supplier arrangements, or legal requirements. The version in force at the time your booking is confirmed will apply to that booking.
