Cancellation and refund policies associated with airfares vary according to airfare terms and conditions and the relevant airline. Insurance Medical facilities across Asia are often unable to provide the full range of medical services that are available in developed countries, making evacuation a requirement in many non-life threatening medical situations. Regardless of the type of your holiday arrangements, we strongly recommend that you take out travel insurance at the time of booking.
