additional to those recorded in clause 1.1 above.<br />
1.4 We will endeavour to provide the most suitable travel arrangements to<br />

an individual experience, and your preferences and opinions may vary from<br />

conditions of your contract with each Supplier.<br />
- Where for any reason, a Supplier is unable to provide particular facilities<br />
or services, then that Supplier may be entitled, under its contract with<br />
you, to substitute those services or facilities with comparable or equivalent<br />
facilities or services without incurring any liability to you. You should check<br />
your contract with each Supplier.<br />
- All facilities or services described by us are subject to availability from<br />
the Supplier.<br />
