If travel plans are delayed or cancelled for any reason there will be no refunds issued by LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC, except in those circumstances where LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC has issued its own schedule of cancellation, applicable to all or a portion of a booking (whenever such a schedule is issued, it will specifically indicate which trip component(s) it is issued for and it will apply ONLY to the specific trip component(s) indicated). Please note that a ‘trip’ or ‘booking’ often consists of multiple components, each of which may carry its own cancellation penalties (example: an airline ticket, a pre-trip hotel night, a multi-day adventure vacation by a tour operator, a post-trip extension designed by LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC, all of which may be subject to a different set of cancellation policies). You will be provided with the individual cancellation policies to the extent that these are available in a distributable format, for your records, but LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC is not responsible for this policy distribution. Clients are responsible for obtaining the applicable policies, either by contacting LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC and requesting a copy (if available, otherwise it will be verbal delivery) or by consulting the individual suppliers and/or their catalogs. No refund(s) will be issued for cancellations due to actual or threatened terrorist events. Furthermore, there will be no refunds due to fear of travel from actual or threatened terrorist, health, political or other similar events.

Agency bears no responsibility for travel related COVID-19 requirements that may be imposed by cruise lines, airlines, hotels, or other travel related 3rd party suppliers and/or governments which may be subject to change at any time. Agency shall make its best effort to convey information from said sources that may be related to the individual booking of client including required vaccinations, COVID-19 testing prior to departure or on arrival, face mask coverings, and quarantines.

It is the traveler’s responsibility to protect their purchases and Travel Insurance is strongly recommended. Traveler is advised to obtain appropriate insurance coverage against these risks.  LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC has information regarding some forms of travel insurance.

If mediation is not successful, the parties will settle by binding arbitration administered by the World Travel Dispute Center under the applicable guidelines as established by IFTTA. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s), or written agreements of the parties, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof or written agreements of the parties. If litigation is necessary to enforce this agreement, the prevailing party(s) shall receive costs and attorney’s fees.

All parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of all state and federal courts sitting in Maricopa County, State of Arizona, and agree that venue for any such action shall lie exclusively in such courts without regard to choose of law principles, and agrees that such courts shall be the exclusive forum for any legal actions brought in connection with this Agreement or the relationships among the parties hereto.

3. Payments. Failure to submit deposits or final payments by the deadline noted can and usually will result in a cancellation of your trip. Final Payments will be requested 7-10 days prior to final payment deadline for your protection so any credit card issues (fraud holds etc.) can be handled prior to the deadline. I understand if I have an unpaid balance to LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC and do not make satisfactory payment arrangements, my account may be placed with an external collection agency. I will be responsible for reimbursement of any fees from the collection agency, including all costs and expenses incurred collecting my account, and possibly including reasonable attorney’s fees if so incurred during collection efforts.

We cannot guarantee that you will be eligible for any “points” or rewards benefits from any credit card, airline, or hotel rewards program for travel booked by LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC on your behalf.  

4. Non-refundable Custom Travel Planning Fee. In most cases, LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC does not charge a planning fee however in some cases- the process of researching and putting together a customized, bespoke proposal that matches your travel desires takes additional time.  Travel Planning fees WILL apply to custom European itineraries outside of cruises and pre-arranged tours. The trip planning fee covers initial consultation and discussion of your trip dreams and expectations, time spent researching, developing, and revising a proposal to create the perfect customized itinerary, booking and managing all components, and support while traveling. In the event a planning fee will be charged, you will be advised of this fee in writing and must sign documentation to approve it prior to work commencing. The travel planning fee varies based on the length and complexity of the trip and starts at $350. Because it covers the initial consultation, research, and time spent on the proposal, this non-refundable fee will be charged prior to proposal delivery, regardless of whether you book a trip with us.  

LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC does charge fees for purchasing airline tickets on our clients behalf. These fees are $35 per ticket and are non-refundable once the tickets are purchased.  

Should your plans change and you cancel your trip for any reason regardless of if it is within or outside your control, LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC will charge a cancellation fee under the following schedule: 

  From Time of Booking to 5 PM EST seven days prior to trip departure date- $50 per person.

The above fees will be charged to the credit card on file at the time of cancellation and/or deducted from vendor refund.

We cannot guarantee that the price of your travel will be the lowest possible rate obtainable. 

5a. Credit Card Payments: I certify that I am an authorized user of any credit card authorized for payment and that I will not dispute the payment with my credit card company; so long as the transaction corresponds to the terms indicated in this form. I also reviewed all trip details and confirm that all itinerary information is correct; any alterations to the trip may result in extra fees. I acknowledge that I am purchasing this trip from a travel agency and not a hotel, airline, or other travel supplier directly, therefore, the transaction can’t be canceled due to service dissatisfaction. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, I acknowledge that I have read and agree to the cancellation terms of all elements of my purchase. I am also responsible for having an up-to-date passport, travel documents, visas, and any other required proof of citizenship, and I am responsible for any consequences that may arise from not having them. I also understand that I need to check-in at least 2 hours before my flights, late check in will result in denial of boarding at my own expense. I understand that I am responsible for keeping track of all payment due dates. Late final payments will result in forfeit of deposit. I furthermore agree that my submission of the credit card authorization form electronically via email or facsimile shall constitute the execution of this agreement in exactly the same manner as if I had signed, by hand, a paper version of this document.

6. Cancellations and Alterations Policies -  Important:  All bookings of airline tickets, and vacation packages are non-refundable generally unless specifically described otherwise. Any alteration, transfer, or cancellation relating to airfare, or dynamic packages (flight + hotel) which affect the booked flight(s), will involve charges up to the price of the air tickets bought including, without limitation, all fees, taxes, and charges. All cancellations must be done in writing. We can accept refund requests only if the following conditions have been met: i. If, and only to the extent that, the Suppliers provide for and allow cancellations and refunds. ii. It is not a "no show" situation (most "no show" bookings are ineligible for any waiver from Suppliers for refund processing). iii. We are able to receive waivers from Suppliers to process the requested cancellation and refund. All refund requests are processed in a set format. Once your cancellation request has been submitted to us, you will get an email notification acknowledging your request. This acknowledgement does not automatically qualify you for a refund. Based upon the fare rule we work with the airline or other involved Suppliers to generate a waiver and process the refund if fare rules allow. Cancellation vary as per fare rules. Refunds may take up to 6-8 business weeks to process. CHANGES AFTER PURCHASE: All changes made to the booking after purchase are restricted and are strictly subject to the airline fare rules. Flight dates and times are changeable subject to availability and upon payment of a change fee per person, plus any additional cost between the original total price paid and the lowest total price available for the new flight at the time the change is made. Any confirmation made beyond the time frame allowed may result in additional costs, of which you will be informed by e-mail. It is essential that you return the confirmation document, otherwise your initial reservation will stand. Any cancellation or alteration of your booking may result in costs that will be billed by our Suppliers, and our administrative costs may be added to these. In the event of an alteration, these costs will be billed to you. In the event of cancellation, these costs are deducted from the refund payable to you as per this agreement. The cancellation of your booking for whatever reason does not exempt you from paying all the sums that you owe to LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC. Any interrupted or shortened stay, or any Service not actually used by you, for whatever reason (in particular in the event that you fail to arrive in time to enjoy the Services) does not entitle you to a refund. As a general rule of alterations, whatever their nature, are treated as a cancellation followed by a new booking, involving the relevant cancellation charges. These charges will be added to any costs charged by the Supplier, of which you will be informed before the alteration is made. Vouchers Traveler accepts sole responsibility for acceptance of a voucher by a third-party supplier including cruise lines, hotels. Airlines, or any other supplier.  Travel Agent shall not be responsible in the event that any of the afore described suppliers fail to honor said voucher or the travel is not performed by said third party in accordance with the voucher.  *California and Illinois Residents only: Upon cancellation of the transportation or travel services, where the Traveler is not at fault and has not canceled in violation of any terms and conditions previously clearly and conspicuously disclosed and agreed to by the Traveler, all sums paid to the seller of travel for services not provided will be promptly paid to the Traveler, unless the Traveler advises the seller of travel in writing, after cancellation. In California, this provision does not apply where the seller of travel has remitted the payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or a carrier, without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed-upon transportation or service. In this situation, the seller of travel must provide the Traveler with a written statement accompanied by bank records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel, proof of current registration of that wholesaler.  

7. Issuing Travel Documents - The method for issuing travel documents and/or tickets depends on the time available between the date of issue of tickets and your date of departure, and/or the type of Service. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee should you make a request for such documents to be sent as a hard copy. If a Traveler provides incorrect information, LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC does not assume any liability if the Trip is adversely affected or made impossible by the non-receipt of travel documents. Travel documents will only be sent to the purchasing Traveler who places the order and personally agrees to these Terms and Conditions. 

8. Insurance - LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC strongly recommends that all Travelers purchase some form of Travel, Cancellation, Lost Baggage and/or Medical Emergency Insurance for all Trips. While we can refer you to an insurance company, Traveler acknowledges that it is Traveler’s responsibility to understand the limitations of their insurance coverage and purchase additional insurance as needed. It is the Traveler’s sole responsibility to research, evaluate and purchase appropriate coverage. Traveler agrees that LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC is not responsible for any uninsured losses.  

9. Passports, Visas, Health Requirements, and Travel Risks - It is Traveler’s responsibility to verify they have all the necessary visas, passport, and vaccinations including COVID-19 Virus vaccine prior to travel.

Non-U.S. citizens should contact the appropriate consular office for any requirements pertaining to their Trip. If you try to enter a country where visa is required, and you do not have the visa, it is possible that you will be imprisoned until there is an available flight to return you to your point of origin.  Some countries require you to be in possession of a return ticket or exit ticket and have sufficient funds, etc. Similarly, certain countries require that the Traveler produce evidence of insurance/repatriation coverage before it will issue a visa. You must carefully observe all applicable formalities and ensure that the surnames and forenames used for all passengers when making a booking and appearing in your travel documents (booking forms, travel tickets, vouchers, etc.), correspond exactly with those appearing on your passport, visas, etc. Further information on entry requirements can be obtained from the State Department, by phone (202) 647-5335 or access online at www.//travel.state.gov/travel or directly from the destination country's website.   Immunization requirements vary from country to country and even region to region.

17. Indemnification and Release - Except as otherwise set forth herein, Traveler hereby releases LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC from any and all liability, loss, expense, damages, or claims arising out of or resulting from Traveler’s participation in a Trip, whether caused by the negligent, intentional, or reckless conduct of Traveler, a Service Provider, a provider of Accommodations, another third party, or otherwise.

18. Force Majeure - LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC shall not be responsible for failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement during any period in which such performance is prevented or delayed due to Force Majeure, nor for changes to or terminations of your trip due to Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” refers to any event beyond LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC’ reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, fire, flood, mudslides, earthquakes, war, labor disputes, strikes, epidemics, disease, virus, pandemic, COVID-19 virus, contagious diseases, World Health Organization’s advisories and/or alerts, Center for Disease Control’s advisories and/or alerts, U.S. State Department’s advisories and/or alerts, any order of any local, provincial or federal government authority, interruption of power Services, terrorism or any other causes beyond the control of LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC. LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC reserves the right to cancel any Services described in a Trip Itinerary due to Force Majeure. Very rarely, you may be forced by "force majeure" to change or terminate your Trip after departure but before the scheduled end of your Trip. This is unlikely but if this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our Suppliers), pay you any compensation, or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result. We strongly recommend that you obtain travel insurance, as described in Section 8, above.  

19. AIR TRANSPORT  a) General conditions governing air transport LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC’s responsibilities in respect to air travel are limited by the relevant airline’s conditions of carriage. The airline fulfilling your contract for carriage may change from the airline mentioned in our electronic brochure and advertisements. LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC is not able to specify the type of aircraft to be used by any airline. In addition, LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC is not responsible for losses due to cancelled flights, seats, or changed flight itineraries. Airlines retain the right to adjust flight times and schedules at any time; schedule changes can result in an itinerary that falls outside of contractual agreements. You cannot cancel the contract without penalty due to a change of airline, aircraft type or destination. If an airline cancels or delays a flight, you should work with the airline to ensure you arrive at your destination on or ahead of time. LITTLE RED SUITCASE LLC will not provide any refund for Trips missed, in part or full, due to missed, cancelled or delayed flights, or other flight irregularities including, without limitation, denied boarding whether or not you are responsible for such denial. Direct flights may be “non-stop” or may involve one or more stop-overs (in the latter case this means the same flight by the airline, because the flight number remains the same). The same applies to
