IMPORTANT NOTICE
BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OUTLINED BELOW.
GENERAL-DISCLAIMER
HTTL operates as an intermediary, arranging travel-related services with third-party vendors, including airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, tour operators, and consolidators (“Travel Suppliers”). These services encompass air transportation, lodging, and car rental (“Service Elements”).
When using this Site, you acknowledge that the rates offered by HTTL and affiliates result from negotiations with Travel Suppliers. These rates include fees, taxes, and charges retained by them for their services. By booking through this Site, you authorize HTTL and affiliates to book reservations on your behalf with Travel Suppliers for the total displayed price, covering fees, taxes, and charges.
HTTL is not liable for errors on the Site or failures of Travel Suppliers. We do not endorse, guarantee, or insure the products or services provided by external suppliers. In the event of a supplier default, your recourse for a refund is typically with the defaulting supplier, unless the loss is solely caused by HTTL.
Except as expressly stated, HTTL assumes no responsibility for events beyond its control or the actions of Travel Suppliers. We are not liable for any consequences resulting from acts, errors, omissions, or other actions of Travel Suppliers. HTTL is not responsible for fluctuations in price, changes in schedule, or other alterations post-booking.
HTTL acts as a service for retail travel agents and consumers, with no control over or liability for supplier actions. We are not responsible for final currency conversion rates and disclaim any liability related to currency variations.
Certain travel reservations may be non-refundable, and penalties may apply for cancellations. Once tickets are issued, penalties may be incurred for cancellations and refunds. Prices on tickets are not within our control.
Discounts vary based on factors such as airlines, class of service, destination, time of year, and booking conditions. HTTL does not guarantee, endorse, validate, or promote products and services advertised on our Site.
Booking with us forms a contract between you and a Travel Supplier, subject to the supplier’s Terms & Conditions. You agree to comply with all purchase terms, including payment and adherence to rules and restrictions. Violations may result in reservation cancellations, denial of access, forfeiting payments, and debiting your account for related costs.

AIR TICKET PURCHASE & PROCESS
