As a British Airways customer, Manage My Booking is a self-service online initiative designed to assist you by:

  • Giving you reassurance about your booking by being able to view booking details 24 hours a day at any time up to when you travel for each flight.
  • Eliminating the need for you to check your booking details and request booking services by phone.
  • Reducing time spent in airport check-in queues.
  • Providing travel information relevant to your booking to help you plan and prepare for your travel.

Manage my booking allows you to:

  • View details of your travel itinerary.
  • View your seat and meal requests.
  • Make seat requests from an interactive seating plan.
  • Make meal requests from a list of available special dietary meals.
  • Provide Advance Passenger Information (e.g. passport and other details).
  • Apply for an ESTA if you're travelling to the USA or Puerto Rico.
  • Add an Executive Club or partner frequent flyer number to ensure receipt of Tier Points and Avios.
  • Email your itinerary to colleagues, friends and family.
  • View check-in times and information about Online Check-in and Self-Service Check-in kiosks.
  • Check in for your flight online and print your boarding pass before going to the airport.
  • Obtain baggage information including allowances or restrictions.
  • View city guides and other useful links.
  • Access real-time departures and arrivals information.
  • Change your flights, upgrade your cabin class and claim refunds.

To access Manage My Booking, you just need your booking reference and last name. Regardless of where you made your reservation, your booking reference can be found on your ticket (in an area called 'PNR code' or 'Locator') or on your e-ticket itinerary receipt. The reference is a series of six characters containing letters and numbers. If you are an Executive Club member and you are logged in to ba.com, you will be able to automatically list your booking references, which contain your Executive Club number. If you are unable to see this reference on any of your documentation, please contact the company from where you purchased your ticket who will have a record of it.

You can access Manage My Booking to view any flights on your booking, provided there is at least one flight with a British Airways flight number. Seat and meal request services, the Advance Passenger Information service, Online Check-in, if available, can only be used on flights with a British Airways flight number.

If you have booked through a travel agent and your booking contains at least one flight with a British Airways flight number, then simply use your travel agent's booking reference to access the Manage My Booking service. There are two key service limitations, which may apply to a travel agent booking: 

  • You may not be able to view all of your flights in Manage My Booking. If this is the case, then this is because British Airways does not own the booking and is normally allowed to view it's own flights plus with preceding and succeeding connecting flights (regardless of airline). 
  • Changes made through Manage My Booking to British Airways flights will normally not be passed back to your travel agent booking.

You will be unable to access Manage My Booking for any bookings that:

  • were made through our Group Bookings team or via a travel agent for a group, which includes any booking for 10 or more passengers
  • are for flights that have been flown or cancelled
  • include hotels, cars, experiences or transfers booked on iberia.com

Please contact us instead.

You will be notified of any change to your booking by email, where an email address has been provided.

Whilst we will do all we can to satisfy your request, the delivery of seat and meal requests cannot be guaranteed.

Special meal requests cannot be made for travel on any UK Domestic flight. Special meals requests cannot be made on some Euro Traveller flights.

Check where you can request a special meal

If you are travelling on a standby or waitlist ticket you will be unable to request special meals on any route.

Kosher meal requests are not available on all services. Please check here to see where kosher meals are available . Special meal requests are unavailable on all other routes if your flight is due to depart within 24 hours.

Please note: Special meal requests on British Airways flights operated by our partner airlines may differ from above. Flights operated to/from London City airport have complimentary catering.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

From selected locations, customers using Online Check-in can print their own boarding pass at home or in the office and go straight to the central search security area on arrival. This then saves the customer visiting a Self-Service Check-in kiosk at the airport to collect their boarding pass. The Online boarding pass needs to be printed on plain white A4 or letter paper and includes a unique 2D barcode, which will be scanned by airport security staff and checked off against information already in the system. When travelling from the UK, customers will need to provide photographic ID in the form of a passport, identity card or driving licence, along with their Online boarding pass, before they will be allowed to pass through security. At all other airport locations, the passport/identity card check will be carried out before boarding the aircraft. The technology that is being used, along with the requirement for an approved type of photographic ID, means that customers can be reassured that security is in no way being compromised. Customers with onward flights If the Online boarding pass service is not available from the location that your onward journey or return journey departs, customers will need to collect their boarding passes for their onward/return journeys from a check-in or a Self-Service Check-in kiosk where available.

Canceled flight? How to understand and use a British Airways Future Travel Voucher

Ben Smithson

If you've canceled upcoming travel booked through British Airways because of coronavirus and its associated travel restrictions, you may have received a credit voucher for the amount you originally spent, which BA calls a Future Travel Voucher. It's important to note that if BA canceled your flight, rather than you doing the canceling, you are legally entitled to a refund rather than a voucher. However, if you did the canceling, you'll likely be given one of these vouchers for future travel.

We've had a number of confused readers contact us about how to both understand what they have received and how to use it.

We spoke to British Airways about this and here are some tips.

Related: Rebooking, voucher or refund? What's your best option for upcoming British Airways flights?

How do I find my Future Travel Voucher?

Vouchers are sent to customers by email only to the address associated with the canceled booking. A different voucher will be issued for each passenger (to the lead email address), so if you are canceling a booking for two passengers you should receive two vouchers.

These vouchers are not displayed in your Executive Club account , so BA has advised us that the only way to find your vouchers is to check your emails. If you're having trouble locating your voucher, try searching 'Future Travel Vouchers'.

This is a frustrating situation, as it means some travelers may forget they even have a voucher if it's buried among hundreds of British Airways promotional emails.

If you have canceled multiple bookings, you will have multiple different vouchers — I already have six. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to collate them. You might want to consider entering the details into a password-protected spreadsheet or shared document for ease of reference.

What information can I find on my Future Travel Voucher?

About the only useful information in the voucher email is the voucher number, which begins with 125, followed by 10 unique digits (i.e. 125-1234567890). The email with your voucher does not show the value of the voucher or the expiration date. It does show the original booking reference number (PNR) that the voucher represents.

Once you're ready to redeem the voucher, you'll have to call BA to do so — which, at this time, is not advisable given long hold times. You'll have 12 months to use the voucher from the date of the first flight in your original booking.

british airways travel agent waivers

How much is my voucher worth?

British Airways has advised us that the only two ways to determine the value of your Future Travel Voucher are to:

  • Look up the value of your original booking it relates to, using the PNR in the voucher email. The voucher value is for the same amount; or
  • Call British Airways to ask.

If you are creating a spreadsheet for your voucher details, include the value of each voucher as you calculate it. You cannot look up the value online aside from entering the PNR from the original booking, and the information is also not included in the email with the voucher number.

Related: When is it time to call your airline?

How do I use my voucher?

You can only use your Future Travel Voucher by calling British Airways.

Expect long wait times if you are calling anytime soon, as thousands of other passengers cancel and defer their upcoming travel. You can also use multiple vouchers per new booking if the new booking costs more than the value of the voucher. If your new booking does not use up all the value of the Future Travel Voucher you are using, just to add an extra layer of complexity, you cannot use that voucher for other bookings — a new voucher will be emailed to you for the remaining amount.

What can I use my voucher for?

Your voucher can be used to travel to any destination in the British Airways network including partner airlines, as long as it's a British Airways-marketed route with a BA flight number. It can also be used on a British Airways Holiday.

Related: What are codeshare flights and how do they work?

When does my voucher expire?

Unlike a Companion Voucher that shows up in your Executive Club with a clear expiration date, you have to work out the expiration date of your Future Travel Voucher by looking up your original booking using the PNR in the voucher email. The voucher expires 12 months after the departure date of your original booking. And like with a Companion Voucher you must book and travel before the expiration date.

I would recommend setting calendar reminders for the date that is three months before the expiration date of the voucher, and then another reminder for two months before so you don't forget to book and travel before it expires.

What happens to my canceled award bookings?

In line with British Airways' Book With Confidence policy, award bookings made with Avios can be canceled for no fee, just like cash bookings. If you cancel a redemption booking without paying a cancellation fee you will receive the fees, taxes and surcharges you paid when making the redemption as a Future Travel Voucher, as well as the Avios back into your Executive Club account.

However, you can ordinarily cancel a redemption booking for a $44 per person cancellation fee and receive the fees, taxes and surcharges refunded back onto the card you used to pay for them originally. That has not changed . If you pay the cancellation fee, you can receive a refund back onto your card. If you instead want to avoid paying a cancellation fee you will receive this amount as a Future Travel Voucher.

Bottom line

I appreciate British Airways had to very quickly develop a system to allow thousands — if not millions — of bookings to be canceled as its IT systems and staff are swamped with unprecedented changes to how the airline operates. That being said, the current Future Travel Voucher system as it stands now is incredibly customer unfriendly. Between looking through your inbox for the voucher, having to look up the value of it, remembering the expiration date and having to call the airline to use it, there's a lot of room for error in letting these vouchers go to waste.

If you have been issued more than one voucher, I would recommend creating some sort of spreadsheet document and set calendar reminders to piece together the critical information. That way, you can ensure you get all of the value out of each voucher you're given.

COVID-19 Flight Waivers and Refund Policies by Airline

See recent posts by Ricky Radka

With uncertainty surrounding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation stateside, many U.S.-based carriers are relaxing ticket restrictions to give passengers a little peace of mind when booking flights for future travel. Flexible policies on flight cancellations and change fees have been applied to select tickets, and most airlines have temporarily waived fees on new itineraries. Here are all the major U.S. carriers’ current change and cancellation rules as they relate to travel during the ongoing COVID-19 situation.

All policies have the most up-to-date info as of: March 31, 2020 .

To see if your upcoming travel has been affected click here for a full list of coronavirus flight suspensions by region and airline .

Coronavirus Waiver Policies by Airline:

American Airlines

Delta air lines, united airlines, alaska airlines, hawaiian airlines, sun country.

  • International Carriers

Which US Airlines Are Offering Free Ticket Changes Amid Coronavirus (COVID-19) Concerns?

American Airlines has continued to expand on its initial change fee waiver to offer passengers more flexibility. Currently, any ticket (both domestic and international) purchased between March 1 and April 30, 2020 , including restrictive Basic Economy tickets, will be granted a one-time change without incurring the standard $200 change fee.

American has broadened its waiver policy to include all itineraries purchased before March 1 with upcoming departure dates through May 31, 2020. Customers with previously issued tickets may now have their trips rebooked before December 31, 2020, or 12 months from the original ticket date, whichever is earlier.

Newly purchased tickets must include travel between today and January 30, 2021, and rescheduled trips must be completed within a year of the original issue date. Itineraries may be changed online or by calling reservations, but keep in mind that although the change fee is waived, any difference in the fare price will apply.

It remains unclear if AAdvantage awards are excluded from the waiver policy, (they previously were), so reaching out directly to an AA representative is the best course of action regarding tickets booked with miles.

For all domestic and international travel originally scheduled to depart through May 31, 2020 , all change fees are waived, and you can rebook your trip to the same destination for travel departing before May 31, 2020, with no difference in fare applied. Trips rebooked to the same destination for travel departing between June 1 and December 31, 2020, no change fees will be assessed but a difference in fare may apply. 

Delta has put forth a blanket waiver on all tickets (domestic and international) purchased between March 1 and April 15, 2020 , allowing for multiple alterations free of change fees. Tickets purchased during this travel window are permitted changes for up to a year from the date of original purchase.

In all instances, ticket changes can be made online under the My Trips section of Delta.com, a change fee may initially display, but after selecting the new travel dates, it will disappear on the checkout page. Like all other carriers, a fare difference may apply.

Alternatively, if you choose to cancel your trip outright, the value of your ticket may be credited on a future Delta flight up to one year from the original purchase date.

SkyMiles award ticketed during this period are not clearly listed as part of the policy, so reaching out to a Delta representative is the cautious approach. For more information on travel regarding other affected regions, view Delta’s policy here .

Customers can book confidently knowing that change fees on United flights will be waived for all itineraries purchased between March 3 and April 30, 2020, no matter the fare class. Tickets booked during this period are eligible for a one-time change to a flight of equal or lesser value valid over a period of one year from the original issue date of the ticket. For example, a ticket purchased on March 29, 2020, can be rescheduled through March 29, 2021. If the future flight is less in price, no residual value will be given; however, if the price is higher, customers will be required to pay the difference in cost.

Additionally, United has extended its waiver policy to include all itineraries purchased on or before March 2 with upcoming departure dates from today through May 31, 2020. Customers with previously issued tickets may now have their trips rebooked before December 31, 2020, or 12 months from the original ticket date, whichever is earlier. 

Customers who decide to cancel tickets booked in the listed purchase period can do so with no additional charges. Ticket values will be apples in the form of credit for use on future United flights within 12 months of the ticket’s original issue date.

It has now been reported that United is redepositing award tickets free of charge and taxes being refunded on most award tickets. Contacting United directly and asking them to waive redeposit fees is the best plan of action until exact guidelines are stated on the United site.

Epidemic or not, Southwest has never charged change or cancellation fees . Customers who would like to change a flight itinerary on Southwest will only be liable for any fare difference (customers with travel through April 30, 2020, may now change their tickets without paying a fare difference) . Southwest even offers a credit if the price drops after you have booked.

If you opt to cancel your reservation altogether, Southwest will issue a credit to your “travel fund” for use on a future flight within one year of the date of issue. Customers with funds that have expired or are set to between March 1 and May 31, 2020, will now expire on June 30, 2021.

After issuing the first fee waiver policy among major U.S. airlines, JetBlue has expanded its policy to passengers with existing itineraries with upcoming departures scheduled to commence through May 31, 2020, are now included in JetBlue’s fee waiver program. Flights may be rebooked for travel through October 24, 2020.

Additionally, customers who purchased tickets between now and April 30, 2020, may cancel or change flights free of charge for travel through October 24, 2020. Tickets purchased between March 6 and March 26, 2020, can rebook through September 8, 2020.

Cancellations will be refunded in the form of a credit toward the passengers JetBlue’s Travel Bank, and valid for one-year on future JetBlue travel. Refunds apply to all fares, even JetBlue’s most restrictive Blue Basic fares and also JetBlue Vacation Packages booked with the carrier. Changed tickets will still be subject to the cost of the fare difference, and only one rebooking is permitted.

Flights purchased with TrueBlue points will be redeposited free of charge. However, taxes paid on award tickets will be credited to the customer’s Travel Bank.

Alaska Airlines has revamped its initial “peace of mind” policy to include a larger travel window for all tickets purchased between February 27 and April 30, 2020 . Select tickets purchased between those dates may now make a one-time change or cancel through February 28, 2021 .

Customers holding an itinerary with upcoming travel through May 31, 2020, now qualify for Alaska’s no change or cancellation fee policy, regardless of the booking date.

However, the previous separate restrictions still apply to Saver Fares.

Saver Fares purchased before April 30, 2020, for travel through February 28, 2021, are only eligible to cancel and redeposit funds into Alaska’s My Account wallet. Changes not permitted.

All other fares, including non-refundable First Class or Main fares booked before March 31, 2020, are entitled to a one-time date change at no extra cost (a fare difference may apply). Or free cancellation in which the value of the ticket will be deposited into a My Account travel wallet.

Mileage Plan award tickets qualify for Alaska’s updated cancellation policy and will be refunded and redeposited free of charge.

Hawaiian Airlines policy allows for waived change fees for new flights purchased between March 1 and May 31, 2020 . Itineraries purchased during the window are entitled to a one-time date change to a future flight beginning before December 31, 2020. A fare difference will be collected for the price of the new trip, and customers must contact Hawaiian at least 24-hours before departure for waived fees.

Customers with any existing booking made prior to March 9 with upcoming departure dates between today and May 31, 2020, are now included in Hawaiian most updated policy. Guests holding previously issued tickets may now have their trips rebooked for travel commencing no later than December 31, 2020.

Award flights ticketed with HawaiianMiles may be redeposited without any fees. Other location-specific information about fee waivers to Asia, French Polynesia, Australia, and New Zealand can be viewed here .

In the wake of other low-cost carriers introducing flexible travel policies, Spirit has released a program allowing customers that need to alter their travel plans a one-time free modification. Fare differences will apply, and the best method to make these changes is to call or text Spirit’s Guest Care lines listed below:

  • Call (801) 401-2222
  • Text: 48763
  • Text via WhatsApp to (801) 401-2222 with “Hello”

Customers wishing to cancel their trips altogether have the option to receive a reservation credit for the full value amount of their ticket. Credits are valid for up to 6 months from the issue date.

Flights to select destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean served by Spirit have imposed travel restrictions on incoming passengers. If you have upcoming travel to Aruba, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Panama, Peru, or St. Maarten, view each country’s travel restriction and code to contact Spirit about refunds or changes.

As a standard policy throughout the year , change fees are waived for Frontier passengers as long as they make alterations to their itineraries at least 60 days or more before departure. But amid concerns of the epidemic and travelers wishing to change travel plans on shorter notice, Frontier has implemented increased flexibility to the current policy . Passengers with tickets issued prior to March 10, 2020, with upcoming travel scheduled between today and May 20, 2020 , are granted a one-time change to their itinerary without incurring change or cancel fees.

Customers booking new tickets between today and April 15, 2020 , will also qualify for the one-time waiver to change or cancel free of charge.

On flight changes, travel must be completed before November 9, 2020, and will be subject to a price difference. If the flight is lower in price, no residual value will be returned to the customer. Passengers who prefer to cancel an itinerary will receive the full cost of the ticket to be used toward the purchase of another Frontier flight within 90 days of the cancellation. All changes must be made at least 24-hours before the flight’s scheduled departure time, and the easiest way to make adjustments to tickets is by dialing Frontier directly at (801) 401-9000.

COVID-19 situation or not, Sun Country allows customers to change their trip reservation online free of charge as long as the departure date is 60 days out or more.

Travel Waivers: Protect Your Travel Agency

There are a lot of things you learn when you’re a travel agent. One of the most common lessons is that having clients sign a travel waiver form is essential to protect yourself, your clients, and your agency. And sadly, that’s a lesson often learned the hard way. No matter how great a travel agent you are, misunderstandings happen. Accidents happen. Things happen. 😬

How will a waiver protect you? Take it from travel attorney Chun T. Wright:

A waiver can help:

  • Educate travelers and participants about the risks of travel (and screen out travelers who are not suited to the trip), and
  • Protect you and your business from legal claims that range from minor mishaps (e.g. small injuries) to catastrophic events (e.g., death).

With Wright's expertise, we're going to walk you through everything you need to know about travel waivers. And we're even going to give you a free travel waiver you can add to your website that just needs to be customized to your agency. That's right! We've done all the hard work for you. You just need to put in your travel agency name and logo, and it's ready to go!

Having clients sign a travel waiver form is essential to protect yourself, your clients, and your agency

Below is a list of items to consider including in your travel waiver(s). If you already know what you want, use the links below to fast-forward to the types of waiver verbiage you're looking for!

⭐️ HAR ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS: ⭐️

8 waiver terms & disclaimers to protect your agency, 5 items to consider for your liability waiver.

  • Pre-Booking Disclaimers
  • 5 Components to Travel Agency Waviers
  • [FREE DOWNLOAD] Trip Confirmation Form
  • Create A Personalized Online Waive for Your Agency
  • Working with a Travel Attorney to Customize Your Waivers & Disclaimers

Below is a list of terms and disclaimers that you could include either in one of your waivers or in your terms and conditions. The best way to figure out what works best for your agency is to consult with a travel attorney . Here's what to consider!

1. Pre-Booking Disclaimers:

Prices and costs can change and your client needs to understand that possibility! A pre-booking disclaimer will help.

2. Waiver to Verify Trips Details are Correct :

This section discusses which trip details your clients need to sign off on (even though you went over your client's itinerary with a fine-tooth comb).

3. Waiver to Verify Client has Documents they Need:

How incredibly sad would it be if your clients sailed into port of a cruise destination only to realize they didn't have the proper visa to disembark? According to Wright, "This waiver will ensure the clients know that it is their responsibility to ensure that they have the proper documents (passports, visas) and vaccinations and that they meet all other entry requirements."

4. Waiver to Verify You Offered Travel Insurance :

It's your client's prerogative if they decline travel insurance, but it's your prerogative to make sure they verify that

  • You offered travel insurance in the first place or encouraged them to purchase it, and
  • Whether they secured travel insurance or not.

5 . HAR's Free Trip Confirmation Form:

A free client-facing form making sure you've got your bases covered. Copy it over to your site with a click of the mouse!

6 . DIY Waivers:

Here's a list of programs you can use to create free waivers for your agency.

7. Waiver to acknowledge that you charge fees:

If you charge fees, mentioning it in your waiver or disclaimer will save any misunderstandings between you and your client. Wright adds that "If a portion of the trip cost is for your fees, say so. Otherwise, this could complicate refund claims."

8. Liability Waiver that limits your risks

The next one is so important that it necessitates its own section with a legal take from Wright.

Below, Wright breaks down the importance of a liability waiver and what it may include.

Chunnie Wright, 2020

1. A list of the representative inherent risks and any special risks of a trip and activities that are included. Risks of travel may include venturing into remote areas with lack of access to medical facilities, having to be quarantined, getting a virus or illness, encountering roads and other infrastructure that may not be to the same standards as the traveler's home country, and so on.

2. A responsibility statement that you are not responsible for the actions/inactions of your suppliers.

3. A release clause in which the participant or travelers expressly releases your business from claims for damages related to the risks of their trip and/or activities. This clause often begins with this or similar language: "I, the traveler RELEASE, DISCHARGE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND HOLD HARMLESS Business A and its [list of all who are released]." Be sure to categorically identify all individuals and entities that should be included in the release, e.g., owners, officers, employees, agents, representatives, related entities, independent contracts/sales representatives, volunteers, successors and assigns. "Successors and assigns" are often missing in liability waivers but if you change your business entity or sell your business, a liability release that omits "successors and assigns" may not cover the new entity or successor business. This clause should stand out; use bolded language, larger type and/or a different font to ensure that the traveler/participant's attention is drawn to it.

4. An express voluntary assumption of the risk clause that states that the traveler understands and voluntarily assumes the risks, both known and unknown, associated with the trip or activity.

5. A forum selection, venue, and choice of law provision. This provision sets out where disputes will be brought (your location will typically be preferred), what forum (e.g., state or federal court or arbitration), and what law will govern.

Pre-Booking Disclaimers—Quoted Prices May Change!

We’ll start from the beginning: It’s a best practice to state on your quote that you can’t guarantee your pricing and costs (unless of course, you have locked in rates).

While I can’t think of why (or how) someone would sue you for sending a quote and then having that quote change, I think it's important to mention it to avoid having an angry client. "And while they might not sue you," warns Wright, "they could report you to your local consumer protection agency which will in turn ask you to explain why your actions were not deceptive."

If you’re giving prices over the phone, best practice is to send a follow-up email with the pricing and disclaimer. Set the relationship up for success by making sure you’re all on the same page.

Mention that prices are subject to change in the email body or add something similar to below in your email signature:

**** Please Note: All prices are subject to change and are based on availability. ****

The email signature is especially nice because you won’t ever forget to mention it; it’s already written for you every time! 1

This is a side note, but also worth mentioning. Seller of Travel regulations in certain states dictates in certain situations that the SOT number must be listed on certain items (quotes, marketing materials, etc.). Seller of Travel Laws can be a real doozie, so make sure you read up on Seller of Travel Requirements here .

5 Components to Travel Agency Waivers

You’ve got them booked, congrats! Now is where you need to be extra careful to make sure you’ve given the client all necessary information and to leave a paper trail showing you did so. This is where the rubber hits the road folks. Get your racing gear on!

Once you've made that booking, let's go over the information that needs to be double/triple/quadruple checked to make sure it's accurate and that you've disclosed everything to your client.

1. Correct names/dates/times/flights/car/hotels

Whoops. Stephanie with a ‘y’ when it was an 'ie'. Or you booked them on the wrong dates. These are all things that can cause headaches later on if you haven't stressed to your client the importance of looking over their itinerary to make sure everything looks okay.

In your travel waiver, let clients know they are responsible for looking over their itinerary and making sure everything is correct.

Sample verification reminder from a real travel agency:

Please check the attached information upon receipt and verify all information is correct. [YOUR AGENCY NAME] will not be responsible for omissions or errors if not brought to my attention immediately. Payment must be received by the due date to avoid vendor cancellation.

Travel Waiver: Information is Correct

2. Documentation

It goes beyond checking the itinerary to make sure everything is correct. Visas; passports; taking kids out of the country without both parents; documents for getting married outside the US. Knowing this stuff and communicating it to your client is part of your job as a travel agent.

If you're not exactly sure what your responsibilities are to your clients, you might find it helpful to read this article by travel attorney Mark Pestronk discussing  your duties to clients . Canadian agents may find this article helpful,  TICO regulations  by Pestronk.

Sample documentation waiver from a real travel agency:

"DOCUMENTATION: U.S. citizens traveling to any destination outside of the United States will be required to present a valid U.S. passport. Passports must be valid for 6 months past the return date. Some countries require a visa for transit or entry. Passengers are responsible to ensure that they have all the proper documents for entry. All names on documents must match the legal name on your photo I.D., and travel document information must match tickets. Please check the State Department website at https://travel.state.gov for further information. Immunizations may also be required. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in denied boarding, denied entry, and/or government-imposed fines. If you are a citizen of another country, there may be additional requirements. Check with the nearest consulate or embassy of the destination you are traveling to and find out the entry requirements for non-U.S. citizens."

3. Travel insurance was offered

Veterans agents, you know this, but newbies, make sure you offer travel insurance to every. single. client.

At my previous host agency, I worked with agencies that hadn’t offered travel insurance (or didn’t have documentation proving they had) and the unhappy clients were suing the agent to get their money back. Best case scenario, Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance covers the legal fees to fight the lawsuit.

Worst case scenario? You end up with a very hefty legal bill because you didn't have documentation that you offered travel insurance to your client.

You are the travel expert; that’s your value. Part of being the expert is letting clients know travel insurance exists and the risks involved if they decline insurance.

Sample travel insurance waiver from a real travel agency:

"I assume and understand that there is a risk involved with my travel and my travel activities and/or excursions. I acknowledge that I was informed about my options but I declined the insurance."

travel waiver trip insurance

Even better yet, email a quote through the insurance company's website so you have an electronic paper trail insurance was offered. Since they usually have an option to send reminder emails, it increases not only your paper trail but also the likelihood they'll purchase insurance.

And here's some words of advice from travel insurance companies that want to protect you against travel insurance licensing problems : When communicating (verbal or written) with clients,  offer/recommend  travel insurance; do not  sell  travel insurance.

Repeat after me: I am a travel expert, not an insurance expert. 

4. Fee DISCLOSUREs

Next up? Fees!

Making sure your clients understand what fees are involved in working with you is key to the client having a positive experience. Whether they're your fees or a supplier's fee, ensure your client understands when those fees kick in and what the amount is.

Cancellation and change fees may vary based on when they cancel and other factors, so listing specific amounts may not be a possibility. But, you should alert the traveler to the possibility of fees for changes or cancellations to the booking.

If it’s a group, you may already have the specific fees in the contract. Even then, it’s important to have a waiver for each booking since the person who signed the contract may not have shared that information with the group.

Sample fee disclosure from a real travel agency:

travel waiver fees

5. Legal Jargon (AKA: Blanket statement)

Our last component to your travel wavier? This one is the blanket statement.

Sample travel waiver from a real travel agency:

"[YOUR AGENCY] offers retail travel services to customers, which are provided by separate and independent vendors of travel services. [YOUR AGENCY] does not operate, control, or otherwise provide the services of the independent travel vendors. Hence, customer agrees that [YOUR AGENCY] acts only as agent for the client in acquiring transportation, hotel accommodations, sightseeing, and other privileges, or services for the clients’ benefit, and on the express condition that [YOUR AGENCY] shall not be responsible for any loss, accident, injury, delay, defect, omission or irregularity which may occur or be occasioned, whether by reason of any act, negligence or default of any company or person engaged in or responsible for carrying out any of the arrangements, or otherwise in connection there with."

HAR's Free Travel Waiver: Trip Details Confirmation Form

That wasn't so bad was it? :) But we can do even better. Let's whip a travel waiver form for you right now!

The icing on the cupcake is that we've already made a Trip Details Confirmation Form for you! It makes it easy for clients to verify crucial details of their upcoming trip and goes over all the travel waiver points we just discussed.

There's more where that came from, too. We have a few other Free Travel Agent Forms  and a couple of tutorials about customizing them to reflect your unique brand!

Where to Create Your Online Travel Waiver Form

Okay, I hope this isn't the case anymore, but if you are sending out paper travel waiver forms for your clients to sign, let's stop that. Having clients sign paper forms is sooooooo 2012. ;)

Our free travel waiver form from the previous section shows you how handy and professional an online waiver can be. But . . . if you're more of a DIY-er and want to build your travel waiver from the ground up, no problem! (But ours is pretty darn good so make sure to check it out.)

Here's our recommendation for online form creators:

  • Jotform - My personal fav and the one we use at Host Agency Reviews. It's the one I highly recommend because it is a zillion times more powerful than any other form builder out there. And it does everything you'll need (including getting client signatures)... for free!
  • Cost: Free Plan (downside? Very little. The free plan comes with everything the paid plans offer as well as unlimited fields. It even includes e-signatures and payment integrations for clients!) The next plan up is the Bronze Plan: $24/month (annual plan). We used JotForm to create all of our form templates for our Free Travel Agent Forms article.
  • Wufoo - Another option out there. I did use Wufoo but changed over to JotForm because of its features and lower price point. As of July 2020, Wufoo doesn't have an electronic signature option without you having to use a third party.
  • Cost: Free (downside? No e-signature option so it's not an option for forms where you need the client's signature). Ad Hoc Plan: $14.95/mo ($129/yr) gives you more forms and fields, but still no e-signature.

We have used Cognito Forms in the past (before we discovered Jotform), but had a pretty terrible experience with their customer service and no longer recommend them.

If you know of any other options or have thoughts on the above, I'd love to hear them in the comments below!

Working with a Travel Attorney to Customize Waivers and Disclaimers for Your Agency

Now, we spoke with multiple travel agencies on how they protect themselves with travel waivers. There is A TON of value in the cumulative knowledge from agencies that have already ‘been there, done that.’ In the end, though, they're travel advisors and not travel attorneys.

The needs of an adventure-focused travel advisor will not be the same as those who focus on student group travel. Who can help you finetune your travel waivers and disclaimers? A travel attorney. So just to be safe, I’d recommend getting a travel attorney to look at your final waiver .

According to Wright "Travel attorneys will customize the waiver to your locale, ensure that it is complete, and advise you on issues that are important that you may not have thought about (e.g., “forum selection,” “venue, and “choice of law”). An experienced travel attorney will be an invaluable part of your advisory team. They can help you avoid issues and respond to any problems that do come up."

The Icing on the Cake: 40+ Travel Checklist and Tips

Julie, the owner of an agency specializing in Europe, shared the amazing "Overseas Travel Checklist and Tips" form she sends to clients. It’s an amazing source of information and exactly how you can show your value as a travel agent, by giving them a little extra.

The best part? You create it one time and clients continue to be thankful for the extra resources you're providing to them for all eternity! Win-win.

And heck, we like lots of icing on our cake! So here's some more:

Sending waivers is helpful, but a signature of acknowledgement is your best defense.

Travel attorney Jonathan Howe says that simply sending the waivers is helpful if you ever need to defend yourself, but a signature of acknowledgment is really your best defense. He also recommended sending an acknowledgment with a copy of the waiver. It doesn’t need to be complex, just a “Thank you we received your waiver, a copy of which is attached”.

One of the advantages of signing up for an online form maker like JotForm is that they can send auto-emails to you and the client, acknowledging you've received the form.

And you know, we just can't help ourselves. Here are more awesome legal resources for your travel biz:

  • Creating online waivers with electronic signatures is a great way to actually get your clients to fill out your waivers. Here's how to do that plus loads of other free travel agent forms (for free).
  • If you want more formal advice, we have a list of travel industry lawyers , which includes free legal documents for agencies.
  • Lastly, HAR's resources page is great for finding our most popular articles and other travel agents' resources-- check it out!  
  • Check out Travel Lawyer Mark Pestronk's free legal document templates here
  • Here's a fantastic guide by Managed Insurance Services on limiting your agency's liability . This baby is written in plain English. *high five* (Thanks to Joe Matteis for sharing)

Wow. Thank You!

A huge and humbled thank you to Chun T. Wright who offered her legal expertise in the latest update of this article. We also offer major trophies to the advisors who let us take a peek behind the curtain for their excellent waivers. Jodie Swartz Jones, Nyla Bridges, and Julie Lay Conway shared their various waivers, disclaimers, and checklists for this article.

How amazing is it that agents shared their travel waivers to help other agencies be better protected? If you want to give them a shout-out, if we missed something important in this article, or if you want to pass along the kindness and share your travel waiver, let us know in the comments below!

Editor’s Note: This article was originally published in January 2013 and was completely updated and revamped on publish date listed. Enjoy!

  •  Speaking of covering yourself, I need an obligatory disclaimer here! I am not an attorney.  I aggregated this info from first-hand experience and other industry sources to create a resource that would help agents gain base knowledge. It does not guarantee protection against lawsuits from clients. All info is accurate to my knowledge but the information given should be fact-checked and never be considered legal advice. ↩

Explore the virtually unspoilt mountains of the Albanian Alps. Holiday by Albania's pristine sandy beaches such as Vlora and Dhermi along the beautiful Adriatic and Ionian Sea coastlines. Visit villages and towns almost untouched by the passing years and sip a glass of local raki (strong alcoholic aperitif made with plums and grapes) at any bar or restaurant.

Albania travel guide

Nestled high in the Pyrenees, the tiny principality of Andorra sits snugly between Spain and France. It is at once French and Spanish, the languages of both become intermingled, and you’ll find a lot of culture and cuisine from both countries. Principally known as a ski haven, the picturesque mountains attract a lot of enthusiasts, it also has the best resorts in all of the Pyrenees.

Austria may be small but it's also packed with variety, from grand Hapsburg palaces to mountain-framed alpine-green pastures. Stick to the cities to sip cream-smothered Viennese coffees in chandelier-lit cafes or trawl contemporary art galleries in fast developing Linz. Head for the great outdoors for lively aprés-ski chalets or ski down Tyrol's snowy Alps.

Austria travel guide

Belgium is a fascinating country, with two languages, French and Flemish, and two atmospheres to experience. Take in the cobbled lanes of diamond-capital Antwerp and chocoholic Brussels, pausing for a Lambic beer in medieval squares. Be invigorated on the sandy beaches and dunes of the Flemish coast, and the leafy waterways that criss-cross the country.

Explore Sofia's Byzantine churches and fashionable boutiques, and Plovdiv's picturesque old quarter. Then head to Bulgaria's hills for hidden away monasteries and heritage-filled villages. Experience Bulgaria's extremes, from Black Sea beaches in Varna and Bourgas to fast-developing ski resorts like Bansko and Pamporovo. Get to grips with Balkan history, or just kick back and immerse yourself in traditional Bulgarian music.

Or stretch out on the stunning sands of the Makarska Riviera.

British Airways Extends Voucher Validities & Cancellation Fee Waivers

Ziggy

Some links to products and travel providers on this website will earn Traveling For Miles a commission that helps contribute to the running of the site. Traveling For Miles has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Traveling For Miles and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers. Opinions, reviews, analyses & recommendations are the author’s alone and have not been reviewed, endorsed or approved by any of these entities. For more details please see the disclosures found at the bottom of every page.

British Airways has today announced that it is extending the validity of all the travel vouchers it has issued (and will issue) for a period of up to two years and it has confirmed that it is extending its flexible changes policy to cover bookings for travel through the end of July 2020.

British Airways Cancellation Fee Waivers

If British Airways has cancelled your flight(s) you are entitled to a refund of whatever cash and Avios you paid for your trip – you do not have to accept a voucher.

However, as of today, if you have a booking for travel through 31 July 2020 but you no longer want to take your trip, British Airways will issue you with a voucher for future travel to the value of your booking. The voucher will be valid for travel until 30 April 2022 and can be used as payment, or part-payment, for a future booking as long as that booking is for travel that is fully completed by 30 April 2022.

British Airways Voucher Validity Extensions

If you have already accepted a voucher from British Airways it will now be valid for travel through 30 April 2022 regardless of what the voucher’s original expiry date was.

A lot of the vouchers that I’ve been hearing about have had an expiry date of one year from the date of issue or, worse yet, one year from when the original ticket was issued so this extension to 30 April 2022 is a big improvement and may be of small comfort to anyone who was miles into accepting a voucher when they should have been offered a refund.

If you are considering canceling an upcoming trip (with travel through 31 July 2020) you should hold off doing anything for now as there’s no benefit to canceling just yet. You’re currently allowed to cancel a trip (and receive a voucher for the total cost of the trip) up to 24 hours before you’re due to fly so why not wait and see if British Airways does you a favor and cancels your flights between now and the day before you fly?

If the airline cancels your flights you’re entitled to a full refund (which is much better than a voucher with an expiry date) and, if it doesn’t, you can cancel closer to the date of departure and you’ll be in no worse of a position than if you canceled today.

No one should be accepting a voucher for future travel if there’s a chance that they are (or will be) entitled to a refund ( see more here ).

Bottom Line

These are nice improvements for British Airways customers but they’re still no more than what a lot of other airlines are offering (including 3rd rate airlines like the US3) and it’s not even close to being as generous as what Emirates is now offering its customers .

I’ll give the airline proper credit when it starts offering refunds to customers who were misled into accepting vouchers and when it updates its website to, once again, allow customers to request the refunds they’re entitled to.

Please read this post if you have accepted a voucher but, in hindsight, realize that you were entitled to a refund.

FEARLESS TRAVELER

Now that everybody else's gift is wrapped, how about something for you?

Once the holidays are over, promise yourself a winter getaway. Sure, times have been tough, but you deserve a break from all that cold, nose-sniffling weather ahead.

Need more persuasion? As our gift to you, our readers, we've researched and wrapped up a list of 15 enticing winter escapes -- to Europe, the West Coast, New England, Florida, South America and the Caribbean. All were chosen with the idea of keeping costs down, whether you travel solo, as a couple, or with family or friends.

One of the cardinal rules of inexpensive travel is to avoid destinations that are in season, when prices tend to be higher, and at this time of the year that means the beaches of Florida and the Caribbean and the ski slopes of New England, the Rockies and the West Coast. Forget the rule; we know ways to get around it.

Our list is merely a sample of many getaway possibilities, but it will get you to the cold if you revel in winter or to balmy spots if you dream of fleeing it. Some of the ideas are do-it-yourself trips; others are escorted tours.

One caveat: These aren't always the absolute cheapest way to go -- if, say, you are a penny-wise backpacker who frequents youth hostels. But they do offer good value for your money, and comfortable lodgings.

Ski Northeast

You can go skiing in New England without busting the budget -- if you avoid weekends, when lodging rates and lift ticket prices are higher. And without weekend crowds, you actually get more skiing for less money.

Ski New England, a marketing organization representing eight ski areas in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, has put together a series of five-day weekday lift and lodging packages. Skiers arrive Sunday and ski Monday through Friday. At Vermont's Stratton Mountain, the rate for five days in "economy" lodging with lift tickets is $258 per person (double occupancy). With air fare from Washington to Albany, N.Y., and a rental car for the 90-minute drive, the price is $503 per person. Similar rates are available at Killington, Okemo Mountain, Mount Snow and Smugglers' Notch in Vermont; Waterville Valley in New Hampshire; and Sunday River and Sugarloaf/USA in Maine.

For details, contact the individual ski resort. For Stratton: 800-843-6867 or 802-297-2200.

Vegas Fling

Las Vegas hotels are moderately priced and meals are cheap, so you can enjoy a reasonably priced week's fling in the city and environs -- if you don't spend all your time in the casinos.

California's beautiful Death Valley National Monument -- whose summer heat makes winter the best time to visit -- is just a three-hour drive to the north, and Arizona's awesome Grand Canyon National Park is about a five-hour drive to the east. Both offer good, inexpensive lodging and superb hiking in spectacular scenery. You might encounter a brief snow flurry at the Grand Canyon, but a dusting of flakes actually enhances its beauty -- and there are no crowds to jostle you.

At the top-rated Caesar's Palace on the Las Vegas "Strip," a deluxe room for two begins at $110 a night, but in nearby hotels and motels rates begin as low as $35 a night.

For Las Vegas lodging information and reservations, contact the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, 702-892-0777.

Florida's Riviera

The swaths of sand in southern Florida -- from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale, Miami and beyond -- are in the throes of high season. But on the Florida Panhandle near Pensacola, the quaint village of Seaside sits sedately beside a magnificent expanse of white sand on the Gulf of Mexico.

A nostalgic re-creation of a turn-of-the-century village, Seaside has more than 150 distinctive cottages, which form an architectural fantasyland around a town center -- complete with grocery store, restaurants, a bookstore and an art gallery featuring works of Southern artists. In midwinter, the weather is temperate but a bit too chilly for swimming. Instead, hike the beach or stroll Seaside's intriguing lanes.

Cottage rentals begin at $131 a night. Typical of the cottages is Jack's Bean Stalk, a slender, two-story cottage with one bedroom, a sitting room, a kitchen and a sea-view lookout.

For reservations: 904-231-1320.

Iberian Meander

Yes, the currency exchange rates make Europe expensive, but there are exceptions -- among them the romantic old Spanish cities of Toledo, Cordoba and Seville (now that Expo '92 is over) and the Portuguese capital of Lisbon.

With the help of a good guidebook or a travel agent, you should be able to put together a drive through southern Spain and Portugal, with stops at charming small hotels charging about $60 a night for a room for two. In this category, two great finds are the Hotel Gonzalez in Cordoba and the Hotel Simon in Seville. And, just as important, in this part of the continent, winter is gentle.

For information: National Tourist Office of Spain, 665 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y. 10022, 212-759-8822, and the Portuguese National Tourist Office, 590 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y. 10036, 212-354-4403.

Caribbean Bask

The secret of finding a moderately priced Caribbean getaway during the winter high season is to avoid the big, beach-front resorts with expensive facilities that boost room prices and instead look for modest inns a short walk from the beach.

On the lovely island of St. Lucia, the nicely landscaped 44-room Islander Hotel, which rings a handsome pool, could be mistaken for a Best Western motel. But it sits just two blocks back from Reduit Beach, one of St. Lucia's finest, and a room for two is $100 a night during the winter. (In comparison, the 220-room St. Lucian Hotel, a beach-front resort a three-minute walk from the Islander, charges $211 a night, and it looks like a Best Western too.)

For more Caribbean bargains, consult a guidebook or a travel agent. For the Islander: 800-223-9815.

Southern Greens

As a region, the Deep South tends to take a smaller bite out of a traveler's budget than almost any other part of the country. And at this time of year, the milder weather makes golf an inviting getaway.

Fairways & Greens, a Mississippi travel firm, puts together custom, self-drive golfing itineraries in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. A sample circle tour departing New Orleans for play on a series of five public and private courses in Mississippi is priced at $896 per person (double), including seven nights' lodgings, breakfast, one lunch and one dinner, a rental car and five rounds of golf with a guaranteed tee time and a golf cart.

For information: Fairways & Greens, Destinations Travel Co., Box 687, McComb, Miss. 39648, 800-748-9676 or 601-684-9611.

Catskills Romp

In earlier decades, the resorts of New York's Catskills spawned dozens of America's top comedians, including Sid Caesar and Mel Brooks. Among the old-time resorts, the sprawling 450-room Kutsher's Country Club is still very much in business. Like a huge cruise ship anchored in snow-covered woods, it serves up three hearty meals a day, a variety of athletic facilities, a daily roster of games and other indoor activities and a show every night starring today's singers and comedians -- all at a very reasonable price.

On the extensive grounds are a modest downhill ski mountain, an indoor ice-skating rink, an indoor swimming pool and indoor tennis and racquetball courts. Children are welcome guests. A room for two for a week begins at $399 per person, including seven nights' lodging, all meals, most recreational facilities and the nightly show. Daily and midweek packages also are available.

For information: Kutsher's Country Club, Monticello, N.Y. 12701, 800-431-1273 or 914-794-6000.

Russia, Cityside

To explore frosty St. Petersburg and Moscow, you'll need to bundle up. But you will see them as the locals do, without the swarms of tourists that flood the museums and monuments from spring through fall. Prices for escorted tours also are lower this time of year.

As the Russian Travel Bureau, a U.S. tour firm, points out, Russia is not a typical vacation destination. So far, night life is limited mostly to concerts, dance and theater, but casinos, nightclubs and discos are slowly making their appearance.

A one-week escorted tour to Moscow and St. Petersburg begins at $899 per person, including air fare from New York; lodging in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Helsinki; overnight train from St. Petersburg to Moscow; city tours and two meals daily. At this price, departures are Jan. 12, 19 and 26.

For information: Russian Travel Bureau, 225 E. 44th St., New York, N.Y. 10017, 800-847-1800 or 212-986-1500.

Fiesta in Old Mexico

In much of Mexico, winter is the "in" season to visit, but modest prices year-round make the country a bargain hunter's delight. To keep costs low, skip Mexico's beach resorts and explore some of the beautiful old Spanish colonial cities.

Guadalajara, the second-largest city in Mexico, is also one of the country's most charming. A center for fine ceramics and pottery, Guadalajara also is known as the birthplace of mariachi music, and lively bands play in parks and squares throughout the city. In the heart of the historic district, the delightful Hotel De Mendoza charges $70 a night for two. A full meal with Mexican beer is about $30 for two.

For Hotel De Mendoza reservations: Mexico Tours, 800-255-8482. For information on Mexico: Mexican Ministry of Tourism, 1911 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20006, 202-728-1750.

Escape to Bermuda

No, Bermuda is not in the Caribbean -- and in fact, the island can be cool this time of year, although winter visitors often chance a dip in the ocean. Right now, the island's big attractions are tennis, golf and somewhat lower lodging rates.

Until March 31, an all-inclusive package at the 114-acre Belmont Hotel, Golf & Country Club is $370 a night for two. This sounds expensive, but included are all meals, unlimited drinks, afternoon tea, free tennis and complimentary greens fees on the Belmont's 18-hole golf course. In the spring, the price jumps to $445 a night.

And the island offers any number of guest houses and cottage communities where rooms run considerably less.

For Belmont reservations: Forte Hotels, 800-225-5843. For Bermuda information: Bermuda Department of Tourism, 310 Madison Ave., Suite 201, New York, N.Y. 10017, 212-818-9800.

Touring Turkey

A culturally and historically fascinating country, Turkey also remains agreeably inexpensive.

Cosmos Tourama, a large tour operator specializing in budget trips, has put together a 14-day motorcoach trip through Turkey called "Leisurely Tour of Turkey," that takes in Istanbul, the Aegean Coast, Izmir, Cappadocia, Ankara and the Marmara Sea. Departures are weekly from New York, beginning March 6 as the weather in the interior warms. The four trips in March are priced at $1,706 per person (double), including air fare from New York, tourist class hotels with private bath, continental breakfast daily and nine dinners.

For information: Cosmos Tourama, 95-25 Queens Blvd., Rego Park, N.Y. 11374, 800-228-1069 or 718-268-7000.

California Coasting

The rugged coastal scenery of California is spectacular, the weather is mild (and often sunnier than in summer) and lodging and meals are surprisingly inexpensive outside Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Take California Route 1 north from San Diego to San Francisco, and for much of the way you will be following in the footsteps of the 18th-century Spanish padres who founded a chain of 21 missions. Probably the most famous is Mission San Juan Capistrano, where the swallows return faithfully each spring, but many of the others are well worth a visit.

Along the way, pause in Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Carmel and Santa Cruz -- among the state's most beautiful cities, all of them reflecting California's Spanish-colonial heritage. Good motels at moderate rates are plentiful. The cliff-hanging, 90-mile stretch of the road along the Big Sur coast north of San Simeon is stunning.

For information, consult a California guidebook. Two possibilities are "Driving the Pacific Coast: California" and "Where to Stay and Play Along the Pacific Coast," both stocked at Travel Books & Language Center in Bethesda.

Easy Streets, Europe

A ramble of the streets of London and Paris doesn't have to be outrageously expensive. One way to save money is to consider an air/land package -- an especially good idea for first-timers to Europe -- such as the one offered by British Airways. The tour price for a nine-day trip is more than $300 cheaper per person through March 20 than it will be in summer.

Of course, the weather in London and Paris can be damp and chilly at times, but winter is the height of the cultural season in Europe's most popular capitals. And you won't be standing in line with hordes of other Americans at museums and historical attractions.

The British Airways "London/Paris" package checks you into your hotel, provides a sightseeing tour in each city and then lets you ramble the streets on your own. A tour company representative will be on hand at the hotel each day to answer questions. There are departures most Saturdays. The price is $1,485 per person (double), including air fare from Washington, lodging, airport transfers, breakfasts and sightseeing tours.

For information: British Airways Holidays, 800-262-2422.

South -- Way South

In South America, both Chile and Argentina offer sophisticated, European-accented cities and stunning, alpinelike mountain scenery -- and at far less than European prices. In southern Chile, there are numerous mountain and lakeside lodges where the fishing is said to be excellent. An added plus: Our winter is South America's summer.

The drawback to Chile and Argentina, as affordable destinations, is the high cost of airline tickets -- about $950 round trip if you book through a consolidator. But good lodging, meals and comfortable bus and train transportation are very reasonable once you get there. A room for two in a comfortable hotel in Santiago is about $50 a night and less in the countryside.

For information: Cultural Department, Embassy of Chile, 1732 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20036, 202-785-3151, and Argentina National Tourist Office, 12 W. 56th St., New York, N.Y. 10019, 212-603-0443.

Cruising for Bargains

For many travelers, a cruise is a budget best because all meals and a wide range of onboard activities are included in one price. In recent years, so many new vessels have been commissioned, the cruise industry is facing a surplus of cabins, which has kept prices low. And although winter in the Caribbean is a popular time to cruise, you should be able to find a cruise price to fit your budget.

To really save money, you can book a less expensive ship, ask for the cheapest cabins and opt for a brief three- or four-day cruise out of Florida -- but don't expect luxury and pampering. Currently, the price is about $460 per person (double) for a three-night cruise, departing Miami for Nassau, in the Bahamas. Air fare to Miami is included.

For information on specific cruises, consult a travel agent.
