Lost / Stolen Airline Tickets

Airline tickets are similar to negotiable documents, subsequently; your rights if you lose your ticket depend on the conditions of carriage of the issuing airline. Because of this, refunds can be difficult to obtain if tickets are lost or stolen. It is important to know who the "issuing airline" is one your ticket because that is usually the one which will give you your refund. The issuing airline is the one whose logo is printed on the ticket. The issuing airline is usually but not necessarily the first airline in your flight schedule.

Many passengers believe that air tickets can be replaced as easily as traveler's checks just because the reservation is in the computer, but that is not the case. In fact some airlines will not reimburse you for lost or stolen tickets.

If your ticket is lost or stolen, expect the airlines to:

  1. Charge you a $25 to $100 processing fee;
  2. Require you to repurchase a ticket in order to continue your trip. If you no longer meet all of the restrictions on your discount fare (e.g., seven-day advance purchase) the new ticket may cost more than the old one did. In that event, however, it is generally the higher fare that is eventually refunded, as long as you don't change any of the cities, flights or dates on your trip.
  3. Take from 30 days to one year and 30 days to process your refund request. This is due to a ticket being valid on most airlines for up to one year. If anyone uses or cashes in your ticket while the refund is pending, the airline may refuse to give you your money back.
  4. Require you to sign an indemnity if someone subsequently uses the ticket.

Note: Southwest Airlines does not refund lost tickets

FRANCE - THE CHARMING COUNTRY

Whether it's gastronomic greatness, artistic endeavour or cultural cachet you're looking for, there's no doubt that France still sits right at the top of the European heap. France is the country for which the word chic was invented - seductive and aloof, old-fashioned and forward-looking, but always characterised by a certain je ne sais quoi .

The country that gave the world champagne, casseroles and Camembert is justly famous for its cooking, and you'll find there are plenty of places to indulge yourself. But while France is undoubtedly a place to eat and drink to your heart's content, there's much more to this fascinating country than cutting-edge cuisine.

When To Go

Spring offers the best weather to visitors, with beach tourism picking up in May. Temperatures aren't too bad in autumn, although the short days mean limited sunlight and the cold starts to make itself felt towards the end of the season, even along the Côte d'Azur . Winter means playing in the snow in France 's Alps and Pyrenees , though the Christmas school holidays send hordes of tadpoles in uniform scurrying for the slopes. Mid-July through to the end of August is when most city dwellers take their annual five weeks' vacation to the coasts and mountains, and the half-desolate cities tend to shut down a bit accordingly. The same happens during February and March.

Sightseeing  
Paris – The Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysées, Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame; Monte Carlo – The Palace of the Prince and Musée Océanographique; Nice – Marc Chagall Message National Museum and Saint Nicholas' Russian Orthodox cathedral; Cannes – Musée de la Castre.

Accommodation

Exclusive, traditional palace hotels and modern hotels providing great value.

Family activities
Disneyland® Paris theme park is located just 30 kilometres from Paris .

Shopping
What you can buy – Clothes, accessories, perfumes, jewellery and haute couture.
Where you can buy – Galeries Lafayette and other department stores; exclusive shops on the Champs Elysées and rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

Entertainment    
World-renowned French food and wine in chic restaurants or relaxed bistros and cafés; famous cabarets and discothèques; opera, theatres and cinemas; dinner cruises on the Seine .

Sports and leisure
Golf, spas, water sports on the French Riviera include sailing, diving and windsurfing.

Honeymoon

arrangements for honeymooners.
