Terms of Service

ATOL Protection

Journeys by JJ operates as an agent of licensed tour operators and suppliers under the Independent Travel Expert (ITE) network. All air holidays and flights shown are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority. An ATOL Certificate will be issued for each qualifying booking confirming your financial protection.

ATOL protection primarily covers customers who book and pay while in the United Kingdom. For more information, visit the CAA ATOL website.

Our Role as Agent

Journeys by JJ acts as a travel and booking agent for the providers (“Principals”) who supply your flights, accommodation, cruises, and other travel services. All bookings are subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant Principal. Journeys by JJ is not liable for any failure or negligence by these third-party suppliers.

Prices & Offers

All prices are per person, based on two adults sharing (unless otherwise stated), and are subject to availability and change. Substitutions may be made where necessary (e.g. if a hotel is fully booked, a similar standard hotel will be offered). Hotel ratings reflect local classifications.

Some coach tours, cruises, or tours may vary due to operational reasons. All offers are financially protected through ABTA and/or ATOL, where applicable.

Travel Insurance

It is a condition of booking a package holiday that you have adequate travel insurance in place. Journeys by JJ can refer you to trusted, regulated insurance providers. If you choose not to take out insurance via referral, you may be asked to sign a waiver or provide proof of alternative coverage.

Journeys by JJ accepts no liability for any injury, delay, loss, or damage if insurance is not secured or is insufficient.

Payments & Pricing

Prices may be subject to change until your booking is confirmed. Prices are only guaranteed once full payment has been received. All quoted times and prices are subject to change if required due to airline, supplier, or regulatory adjustments.

Booking Confirmation

Your booking is not confirmed until you receive written confirmation and (for flight-inclusive packages) an ATOL Certificate. Unless otherwise stated, bookings are considered non-refundable once confirmed.

Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellations must be submitted in writing by the lead passenger. Deposits are non-refundable. Additional cancellation charges may apply depending on the supplier involved.

Standard cancellation charges:

If you need to cancel your booking, the following charges will apply, based on the number of days before your scheduled departure that written notice of cancellation is received:

More than 98 days before departure – Loss of deposit only

Between 57 and 98 days – 30% of the total booking cost (or the full deposit, whichever is greater)

Between 29 and 56 days – 50% of the total booking cost

Between 22 and 28 days – 75% of the total booking cost

Between 8 and 21 days – 90% of the total booking cost

7 days or fewer – 100% of the total booking cost

Please note: Different charges may apply to bookings that include low-cost airline tickets, cruises, or scheduled flights. These will be confirmed at the time of booking or prior to cancellation.

Note: Bookings that include low-cost flights or cruises may be subject to different cancellation terms.

Amendments & Changes

Amendments to existing bookings must be made in writing. A £50 admin fee applies to changes, subject to availability and supplier terms. Further charges may apply depending on the nature of the change.

Final Balance & Non-Payment

Final payment is due no later than 14 weeks before departure, unless otherwise stated. Failure to make payment by the due date may result in cancellation of your booking and loss of any monies already paid.

Passports, Visas & Health

It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all passport, visa, and health requirements for your destination. Journeys by JJ cannot be held responsible for issues arising from invalid documentation or health requirements.
