Before You Book

Yes. Flights are not included in the trip price. Our team of Travel Specialists is here to find you the best fares and deals and add flights during the booking process once you've selected a departure date for your trip.

Yes, you can book extra hotel nights through GET. In fact, we suggest you work with your Travel Specialist to do so as many guests like to give themselves a little more time in a destination before or after their trip.

Additional hotel nights can be added to your trip during the booking. Simply select your preferred departure date to begin the process.

You can also add additional hotel nights through the MyGET portal or by calling our team at 1-877-622-9109, and we will be happy to add these extra nights for you.

Please note: All hotels are subject to availability.

To travel on an international guided tour or river cruise, it's required that each traveler's passport contains at least three blank visa pages and is valid for six months after the completion of the tour. Before booking your trip abroad, ensure you have all your passport information up to date and ready to go.

Please note: Passport Renewal & Application processing times are currently 10-13 weeks out. Mailing times are not included in processing times.

When viewing Dates and Prices for your trip, you'll see some departure dates shown as 'Definite Departure.' A definite departure has reached a minimum number of guests booked, and that particular departure will, therefore, definitely run, barring any extraordinary circumstances.

The number of guests booked can fluctuate, so we can't show exact numbers. However, departures are regularly updated to show as definite.

You can still go ahead and book a departure not yet marked as definite, and in the scenario where this departure doesn't meet the minimum number of guests, you will be offered the best alternative dates or a full refund of any payment made.

We will contact you if there are any changes to your departure - definite or otherwise - that you should be aware of.

This means that the date is too close in to book online or almost full, and availability will need to be confirmed with your Travel Specialist. To book a departure date with "Call Us" noted, you will need to contact us. Give us a call at 1-877-622-9109.

To book a child on a tour, the child must be aged between 5-17 years at the time of travel. 

To book a child on a Uniworld River Cruise, the child must be between 4-17 years at the time of travel. Uniworld considers Junior Cruisers between the ages of  4 to 12 years and Teen Cruisers between the ages of 13 to 17.

To edit, add, or correct any passenger's name on a booking, you will need to call our team at 1-877-622-9109 to speak to a Travel Specialist so that all of your documents, including airfare, reflect the update. 

GET guests can book with confidence. 

Make a new booking with us and enjoy more time to make decisions about your future travel plans. If, for any reason, you change your mind, simply give us a call at 1-877-622-9109 up to 60* days before your trip departs, and you can choose to switch dates or pick a new destination without penalty on the land portion of your trip. (Airlines may impose different change policies and penalties)

*All changes are subject to differences in rates and availability. This policy only applies to the land or river cruise portion of your trip. Airlines will have different policies and costs. Additional amendment fees may be incurred.

Please call our team at 1-877-622-9109 as soon as possible if you find you will not be able to go on your trip. 

Triple room bookings are available, though mostly suitable for two adults and one child. When booking your trip, we define a child as somebody aged 17 or under. A triple room is not recommended for three adults, as the third bed is often rollaway, which may not be comfortable for an adult.

If you're on a trip as a family of five (two adults and three children), then you would require one triple room (for one adult and two children) and one double room (one adult and one child).

Yes. Our Travel Specialists are here to find you the best fares and deals and add flights during the booking process once you've selected a departure date for your trip. In order to book international flights, we will need your first, middle, and last name exactly as they appear on your passport. Give the team a call at 1-877-622-9109 for more information. 

The fact that a middle name does not show on a ticket does not matter. Even so, it is absolutely necessary that the information provided to the carrier regarding the passport matches the document with the exact first name, middle name, and last name as what the passport shows.

Worldwide

Getting to the airport on time: Generally, check-in times require guests to arrive at the airport a minimum of two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight. This allows you plenty of time to check in and pass through security to the boarding area. Online check-in means you can save time and fuss at the airport by checking in for your flight via the website prior to your arrival at the airport.

Please allow enough time to get to your flight – be aware that during busy travel periods or at airports with heightened security, you may experience longer queues. Boarding usually starts 30-45 minutes before departure, and the gate generally closes 30 minutes prior to departure. Check with your airline to see what time check-in counters open.

Identification and Documents: Everyone traveling, regardless of age, needs their own identification for flight tickets. All guests, including children, must have a machine-readable passport valid for six months after your trip return date, along with any applicable visas. International travel doesn’t have to be tricky – just make sure your identification and that any required paperwork is in order. When you travel internationally, you are responsible for ensuring you have the correct documents to enter and pass through any country during your trip and then make your way back home.

Please note: Always use the information exactly as it appears on your passport to book and on any documents.

Checking in for your flight: Tickets are no longer printed and sent to our guests. Visit your airline's website to check in 24 hours before your flight or check in once you arrive at the airport. You can use the airline's mobile app to view your tickets or ask to have them printed out at the service desk if you'd prefer to check in in person at the airport. 

Airline tickets: Tickets are no longer printed and sent to our guests. Visit your airline's website to check in 24 hours before you go. You can use the airline's mobile app to view your tickets or print them out at the service desk if you'd prefer to check in in person at the airport.

The team at GET cannot assist in changing or confirming seat assignments within 30 days of your flight. Due to multiple factors, airlines are changing schedules and aircraft types frequently up to the time of departure. In many cases, this can result in the airline changing your seat assignment. Please check your booking on the airline website in the weeks leading up to departure to reconfirm your seats.

Please check your airline tickets carefully, as many airlines have code-share agreements with other airlines. This means that you may travel from the point of departure to the point of destination using more than one carrier. If your ticket states, “Flight operated by [Airline],” you will need to check in with that airline and not the airline listed as the original carrier.

Airline connections: Traveling internationally may require you to change planes in major airports. Your airline will provide you with details of the minimum connection time required to transfer from one gate to another at each specific airport. We recommend that you check any connection times carefully and familiarize yourself with the airport layout prior to landing. When checking in for your flight, ensure you check in to your final destination so you do not need to claim luggage and re-check it during flight connections.

Airport security: Before flying, you will go through airport security. These measures are in place to help maintain your safety, so familiarize yourself with the rules; this will help you pass through the security checks as quickly as possible. Please remember that although all airports must adhere to relevant aviation security requirements, security procedures may vary from airport to airport. Restrictions on what you can take on board and in hand luggage may also vary from time to time and country, so we recommend you read the latest security advice before traveling. More information can be found on the website of the airport you are flying from and usually from that of your airline or travel company.

No. If your flights were booked through GET, we will notify you of any schedule changes. Sometimes the airline will inform you at the same time they tell us. Rest assured. We will contact you if required.

If you've booked your flights independently and provided flight details for an airport transfer, please contact us at 1-877-622-9109 to let us know about the change.

Please ensure you have received a confirmation from reconfirming your transfers, particularly if your departure is in the near future.

Transfers are not available in all destinations. Please see Airport Transfers for more information.

The ability to amend transfers will also vary across destinations. We will do our best to make any adjustments. However, if we are unable to confirm, please make your own way to the start hotel.

Please call our team at 1-877-622-9109 to speak to one of our Travel Specialists. Your first, middle, and last name must exactly match your passport for international travel. Any name changes are subject to airline rules and fees.

The hotel staff will do their best to keep you in the same room. However, this can't be guaranteed. Should you need to change rooms, the hotel will typically let you know at the time of check-in.

This will vary depending on the hotel.

Your hotel booking will show whether breakfast is included in your travel documents.

Europe, North & South America, Australia & New Zealand trips
If you’d rather not incur an additional expense, consider our solo room share option. We’ll accommodate you with a fellow guest of the same gender on a twin-bed basis.
