  • All Airfares purchased through Peony Tours for travel beginning in the United States are provided by air carriers who are independent operators and are not owned, managed or operated by Peony Tours. Your airline ticket is a contract between you and the air carrier only. By purchasing your air services through Peony Tours you agree to waive all liability to Peony Tours for such air services. Peony Tours is in no way responsible for airline cancellations, reschedules, or delays to a flight for any reason whatsoever. If you purchase air through Peony Tours, we will try to assist you in making new arrangements, providing you have not already checked in with your airline carrier for your first flight segment.
  • If you have already checked in you must liaise directly with your airline to reach your destination or to make any alternate arrangements including amendments to return services. Please be advised that airline fees will usually apply for modifications to air schedules not related to airline imposed flight cancellations, reschedules or delays. These fees will be payable to the airline directly at time of request. If you miss your departure flight or connection, it is your responsibility to work with the airline on which you are ticketed to reach your destination. No refunds will be provided by Peony Tours for any portion of the trip missed due to canceled, rescheduled or delayed flights after airport check-in, nor is Peony Tours responsible for any additional expenses you may incur prior to joining your trip if you miss your departure flight or flight connection
  • For airfares purchased through Peony Tours, if any air schedule requires an overnight stay in a gateway city, Peony Tours can assist you with hotel reservations; notwithstanding this, the cost of the overnight stay (including but not limited to hotel and meals) is at your expense. Air routings are subject to availability. Routings are not guaranteed and are subject to change at any time. If you make your own flight arrangements, Peony Tours will not be responsible for any loss resulting from cancellation or changes in international gateways, itineraries or travel dates. We strongly advise that you check the airline’s terms & conditions regarding penalties for changes prior to purchasing airline tickets.
  • Under the Secure Flight Program enacted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires airlines to collect information from you for the purposes of watch list matching. TSA may share information you provide with law enforcement or intelligence agencies or others under its published system of records notice. At time of booking a vacation with air reservations, Peony Tours will collect the required information and add to your air booking to pass to the airline(s) for the Secure Flight Program. The information includes your full name (as it appears on photo ID used for travel), date of birth, gender and redress number (if available). Failure to provide the required TSA information at time of booking will result in the loss of confirmed flights and airfare price as this information is required for ticketing. Rebooking lost airfare is subject to schedule availability at time of rebooking and may result in alternate flight schedules and/or increases in airfare price. Any increase in airfare price is payable by you.
