  • INTRODUCTION SAFE SHOPPING GUARANTEE

    BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER CONTAINED BELOW.

     

    Best My Flight values your trust. We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect your personal information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please immediately notify customer service at 1-917-832-9480 or shakib@bestmyflight.com so that we have an opportunity to try to address your concerns.

    IMPORTANT NOTICE General Disclaimer

    Best My Flight does not act as principal but makes arrangements with third-party vendors, such as, but not limited to airlines, hotels, cruise lines, railroads, car rental agencies, tour operators and consolidators, traveler assist service providers, insurance providers and activities suppliers (each a "Travel Supplier") for travel-related services which include, without limitation, air transportation, lodging, and car rental (each a "Service Element").

    By using this Site, you acknowledge that the rates offered by Best My Flight and affiliate companies are a result of negotiation between Best My Flight and the Travel Suppliers and include certain fees retained by them for their services, taxes and other charges. When booking with any Travel Supplier thru this Site, you authorize Best My Flight and affiliate companies to book reservations or enter a contract on your behalf with Travel Suppliers for the total price displayed, including such fees and any applicable taxes or charges related to the Travel Supplier's or Best My Flight’s's services.

    Best My Flight shall not be liable for errors or inaccuracies on the Site, or the failure of Travel Suppliers from whom you obtain services through this Site, including but not limited to airlines, hotels, cruise lines, railroads, car rental agencies, tour operators and consolidators, vacation packages, activities suppliers, traveler assist service providers and insurance providers. Best My Flight , in providing travel management services, does not endorse, guarantee or insure the products or services which are provided by an external supplier, the financial position of such suppliers or the reimbursement to you from any loss as a result of the financial condition of such supplier. In the event that a supplier defaults prior to providing the service to you where a payment has been made, your sole recourse for a refund shall be the defaulting supplier, from insurance covering such defaults if any, or from other responsible third party unless such loss was caused solely by Best My Flight . In those situations in which a supplier defaults prior to providing services you may pursue any recourse against the supplier for a refund, as permitted by law or statute.

    Except as expressly stated herein, Best My Flight assumes no responsibility for actions relating to travel services beyond the control of Best My Flight or its employees. Best My Flight is not responsible or liable for any act, error, omission, injury, loss, accident, damage, delay, nonperformance, irregularity, or any consequence thereof, which may be occasioned through neglect, or default or any other act or inaction of any Travel Supplier. Best My Flight shall not be liable for any fluctuation in price or change in schedule or equipment or accommodations for any travel service, which occurs subsequent to booking and payment for such service. Best My Flight shall not be liable for any cancellation, overbooking, delay, re-routing, strike, any weather occurrence or governmental occurrence as it affects your travel reservation made with us. Best My Flight shall not be liable for the depiction of travel products and services made available by any supplier of travel products and services, including but not limited to photographs, listed amenities, ratings, and discounts.

    Best My Flight acts as a service that provides value added service to retail travel agents and consumers. Best My Flight has no control over and assumes no liability for the actions of the suppliers from whom it obtains travel products or services.

    Best My Flight shall not be liable for final currency conversion or rates when paid after a travel reservation is made with us for international travel products and services. You agree and acknowledge that currency rates vary and any quoted price on the Site in local currency is a guideline, and not binding on us or the Travel Supplier.

    Once certain travel reservations are made and paid for they may be completely non-refundable or there may be a penalty involved in cancellation or seeking a refund from the supplier of travel products and services. Once tickets have been issued there may be a penalty involved for cancellations and refunds. We do not have control over printed prices on the tickets, although some tickets may have BT (bulk fare) printed on them, some may have a specific value on them, which may be different (lower or higher) than the fare collected.

    Discounts offered may vary depending on a number of factors including airlines utilized, class of service, destination, time of year (low, mid or high season), advance notice provided, minimum stay requirements fulfilled and flight load.

    Best My Flight does not guarantee, endorse, validate or promote other advertiser's products and services that are advertised on our Site.

    By booking with us a contract may be formed between you and a Travel Supplier, and additional Terms & Conditions may apply to your booking and purchase of travel-related goods and services. Please read the additional Terms & Conditions provided by such Travel Supplier carefully. You hereby agree to be bound by all the Terms & Conditions of purchase imposed by any Travel Supplier with whom you choose to contract, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the Travel Supplier's rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of fares, products, or services. Some Travel Suppliers may require you to present a credit card or cash deposit upon check-in to cover additional expenses incurred during your stay or during the use of the reserved products or services. Such deposit is unrelated to any payment received by Best My Flight for your hotel, car or airline ticket booking. You understand that any violation of a Travel Supplier's rules and restrictions may result in the cancellation of your reservation(s), in denial of access to the respective Service Element or services, in your forfeiting any amount paid for such reservation(s), and/or in our debiting your account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation.

    PRICE MATCH PROMISE When booking with Best My Flight, we want you to be confident that you have found a great deal.

    That’s why, if you see a lower price (including taxes and fees) for the same flight itinerary offered and available for booking on a Major OTA Competitor’s site within twenty-four (24) hours of booking, we will match that lower price by refunding the difference in price, or if you prefer, we will cancel your booking with us for a full refund.

    That’s our Price Match Promise (“PMP”).

    Questions? Here are some answers:

    What does “the same itinerary” mean?

    The same itinerary means that each and every element of each offer matches; airline(s), flight number(s), itinerary, date(s), number of customers and seat type.

    What does “offered and available for booking” mean?

    It means that the itinerary you found is actually live on a Major OTA Competitor’s site and available to be booked by the general public at the time you contact us, as determined by our customer service representatives.

    RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND WE MAY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

    Customer satisfaction is the foundation of our success. That's why, if a dispute arises between us, our goal is to resolve the dispute quickly in a fair and cost-effective way. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you, before taking any other action, to reach out to us by contacting customer service at 1-917-832-9480 or info@bestmyflight.com so that we have an opportunity to try to address your concerns.

    Otherwise, you and we agree that we will resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, these Terms & Conditions, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or our relationship in connection with the Site or these or previous versions of these Terms & Conditions (each, a "Claim"), in accordance with one of the subsections of this Resolution of Disputes section below or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing.

    GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION

    These Terms & Conditions and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, USA, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. You agree that unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing or as otherwise described in the Mandatory Arbitration provision below, any Claims shall be brought in a court located in New York County, the State of New York, USA. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, any Claim must be brought within two (2) years from the date on which such Claim arose or accrued. The preceding sentence does not apply to New Jersey residents.

    MANDATORY ARBITRATION

    Any and all Claims shall be resolved via binding arbitration initiated through JAMS (formerly known as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc.) except for claims asserted on an individual basis that are properly filed in a small claims court or other court of competent jurisdiction having a jurisdictional limit of US$10,000 or less. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, except as set forth below, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the Terms & Conditions as a court would.

    The arbitration will be governed by the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the "JAMS Rules"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by JAMS. The JAMS Rules are available online at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267. If you initiate arbitration and the total amount in controversy is US$100,000 or less, the only fee you shall be required to pay is US$250 (which is less than the current standard JAMS filing fee); all other costs will be borne by the Company. In the event that the arbitrator determines that the claims were frivolous, the arbitrator may (except in California) award to the prevailing party the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred in connection with the arbitration.

    Notwithstanding the provision above with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms & Conditions shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16). JAMS and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator approved by or otherwise affiliated with JAMS; except that if the total amount in controversy is more than US$100,000, the defendant may request a panel of three arbitrators; (b) the party initiating the arbitration shall choose the form in which they would like the arbitration to be conducted: via telephone, online, solely based on written submissions, or at an in-person hearing; (c) notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party requests an in-person hearing: (i) the arbitrator shall decide whether a hearing is necessary or whether the arbitration should proceed via telephone, online or solely based on written submissions, (ii) if the arbitrator deems that a hearing is necessary, the hearing shall occur at a mutually agreed upon location, or, if the parties are unable to agree on a location, at a location that is selected by the arbitrator and is reasonably convenient to all parties, and (iii) either party may elect to participate in an in-person hearing by phone, unless the arbitrator decides otherwise; (d) the arbitrator may not award any: (i) incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits, or (ii) punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages described in subparagraphs (d)(i) and (d)(ii); (e) the arbitrator may award injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim; and (f) unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

    The arbitrator may not decide issues relating to arbitrability and the scope or enforceability of this Mandatory Arbitration provision, which shall be only for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. If subparagraph (f) above is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Mandatory Arbitration provision shall be null and void. Judgment on the award issued by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This Mandatory Arbitration provision shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

    YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THE CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION.

    IMPROPERLY FILED CLAIMS

    All claims you bring against us must be resolved in accordance with this Resolution of Disputes section. All claims filed or brought that are not in accordance with to this section shall be considered improperly filed. Should a claim be filed by either you or us in manner that is not in accordance with this section, the other party may seek to recover attorneys' fees and costs up to US$5,000, provided that the other party has been notified in writing of the improperly filed claim, received fourteen days to withdraw such claim, and fails to do so.

    We reserve the right to cancel your Best My Flight account and terminate your use of the Site if you violate any of the above prohibitions.

    BOOKING PROCESS

    For your convenience, our use of the following terms in these Terms & Conditions shall have the meaning below:

    "Service Element" - a singular product or service listed on the Site that can be booked independently of any other service. (e.g.: car, hotel, flight).

    "Travel Supplier" - a vendor of one or more Service Elements. (e.g.: hotels, car suppliers, airlines). Best My Flight does not act as principal but makes arrangements with third-party vendor Travel Suppliers for Service Elements, all as defined above.

    "Booking" - a negotiation process with the Travel Supplier carried out by you while using this Site for the purpose of obtaining one or more Service Elements that may result in a contract with the Travel Supplier at the time we receive full payment and accept your offer.

    In order to complete a Booking the following steps are taken to ensure its validity:
    When we place Service Elements on our Site, we are inviting you to make an offer for their purchase. You do not make this offer until you press "Book" on the payment page (entitled "Review Trip Details and Book") of the Site.

    Once you have done so you have made Best My Flight an offer (which cannot be withdrawn if you change your mind) to purchase the relevant Service Element(s) from the relevant Travel Supplier(s) (your "Booking"). We are free to accept your offer on behalf of the relevant Travel Supplier or to reject it, at our sole discretion.

    The Best My Flight email confirmation is NOT the contractual acceptance of the Booking, but merely an acknowledgement that we have received your offer. We will need to check the availability of the relevant Service Element(s).

    If the relevant Service Element is available, your Booking will be processed. The contract pertaining to the relevant Booking is formed when payment in full has been received.

    The contract between you and the relevant Travel Supplier will relate only to those Service Elements confirmed by email with ticket numbers in case of air or reservation numbers in case of hotels, cars or activities.

    The terms of your Booking (such as price, availability and/or dates of travel) are not guaranteed until the contract is formed between you and the Travel Supplier and a ticket has been issued and/or a reservation has been made and confirmed by the Travel Supplier. Please note that once you have completed the Booking stage you can only cancel or change the details (such as names or destinations) of your Booking at our sole discretion and in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.

    These Booking processes will apply to any of our individual Service Element's Terms & Conditions set out below. The airline ticket Terms & Conditions, the hotel Terms & Conditions, the car rental Terms & Conditions, the attractions and services Terms & Conditions supplement any area not covered by the Booking process. We reserve the right to change the Booking process at any time, with changes automatically taking effect from the date such changes are posted on the Site.

    At all times throughout your trip a government-issued photo ID is required for security checks at airports, hotels and car rental locations and may be required for attractions and other products as deemed necessary by the relevant Travel Suppliers.

To protect our customers, we verify with the credit/debit card company that the billing address and credit card verification number you provided to us is accurate and that your debit/charge will be accepted. Until such information is verified, the fare is subject to change. We are not responsible for any transaction that is declined based upon a credit/debit card that is declined by the issuing company or a travel provider or if, for any reason, the debit/credit card billing address and/or credit card verification number cannot be verified in a timely manner, nor are we responsible for any changes in fare or any other charges that may occur during our verification process. In the event the fare selected is not available an approval code may have been issued on your credit card. If the transaction is not completed the approval code may temporarily credit the amount from your bank account.

  • ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS

    Passengers embarking upon a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of departure are advised that the provisions of treaties known as the Montreal Convention and the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to their entire journey including the portion entirely within the countries of departure and destination. The Conventions govern and in most cases limits the liability of carriers to passengers for death or personal injury. Additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not affected by any limitation of the carrier's liability under the Montreal Convention or Warsaw Convention. For further information please consult your airline or insurance company representative.

    CHANGES TO FLIGHTS ALREADY PURCHASED

    Any and all changes made to the itinerary are restricted and are subject to airline fare rules, whichever is more restrictive; most of our tickets, hotels, cars, packages and cruises do not allow any date or name changes after the booking is completed. Best My Flight does not guarantee, and shall not be responsible for, any bookings or reservations made or confirmed to you in the event that the original itinerary has been changed by the supplier pursuant to customer's request or supplier's schedule changes.

    CANCEL AND EXCHANGE

    Most of our airline tickets are 100% non-refundable. In certain cases where the airline may allow cancellations, a credit may be valid towards a future ticket purchase by the same traveler on the same airline. Usually the credit issued by the airline supplier has a specific expiration date, after which it cannot be used. We encourage you to discuss additional restrictions attached to your credit with a customer service agent. All such bookings where the cancellation may be permitted must be cancelled prior to the scheduled departure time of the first flight segment by calling our customer service center. We do not guarantee any cancellation. When you are ready to make your new booking
