Each airline is different so make sure you are aware of what applies to your own particular circumstance. If yo...u have booked with Custodian Travel we would have already or soon will advise you of the options available to you. We are working through our files in departure date order, but no matter when you are travelling, please call our office if you have any questions. We are happy to follow up anything for you. The current situation highlights one of the benefit of booking through a travel agent.

15.01.2022 We have had so many questions regarding travelling during the coronavirus. Things are changing daily but this is a recent video posted by the World Health Organisation that may answer some questions. The WHO website is one of the better places to find accurate updates. Most travel insurance policies do not cover anything related to coronavirus, including medical or cancellation expenses. Covermore do have a policy that may cover for Coronavirus related medical expenses, they ...also offer a "cancel for any reason" optional extra to their comprehensive policies. This must be taken out within 48 hours of making a booking and can cover up 75% reimbursement (to a maximum of $10,000) . Call us on 52 212 133 for further information www.custodiantravel.com.au

13.01.2022 Something to think about..........dont mess with your passports! Legitimate immigration stamps only. Souvenir stamps in your passport are a bad idea If theres one document you should never ever miss with, its your passport, even if an indiscretion might seem innocuous.... At an airport in Madrid, a passenger was about to hop on a Thailand-bound flight for a friends wedding when she was denied boarding. An excited traveler, I presented myself and my passport at Qatar airways last night to be told I couldnt fly because of the Machu Picchu stamp in my passport, . I thought the guy was having a laugh. But no. Upon going to the consulate she was told her passport was valid and as such they couldnt issue a replacement. She was told me to explain that to Qatar airways and if they wouldnt take me go with another airline. When she returned to the airport, the traveller spoke to Qatar Airways again, and after the airline allegedly got in touch with the Thailand embassy, they insisted she could NOT travel. The Briton also approached Emirates, explaining the situation to them and asking if they would fly her. They said they would find out from the Thai Immigration, Eventually Emirates also said the same. Another trip to the UK embassy followed, before the Brit was able to pick up a specially expedited emergency passport the next day. Eventually the passenger reached Thailand and her friends wedding. But her plight highlights the perils of seeking out stamps like the Machu Picchu one as well as other famed stamps like Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin and Wales Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and impressing them into your passport. Instead, travellers could consider a souvenir stamp collecting journal or something similar to register their adventures.
