Ireland. Coins are issued in the following denominations 

1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 50p, £1, £2. Notes are issued in £5, 

£10, £20 and £50 units. The Euro (€) is the currency of 

16 European Union nations including France, Germany, 

Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Greece 

and Austria. The advantage for travellers is that there is

Credit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs are never far 

away. Most machines are linked to major credit cards and 

international networks such as Cirrus, Maestro and Plus. 

e Passports, visas and

Travellers to the UK, Ireland and Europe must have a 

passport which is valid until their return to Australia and

six months beyond the date of entry. Please check the

or the appropriate embassy/consular office before you 

travel. We strongly recommend that you purchase a 

comprehensive travel insurance policy when you book 

your holiday. 

i Tipping 

Tipping in Britain and Ireland is not as prevalent as in other 

countries. Some restaurants include a service charge on the 

bill, in which case a tip is unnecessary. London taxi drivers 

expect to be tipped about 10%. Throughout Europe, hotel 

and restaurant bills include a service charge, but hotel 


UK and Europe 

travel tips 

porters and cleaning staff usually expect something for 

their services. It is also customary to tip in restaurants and 

cafes. Round up smaller bills and add an extra 5-10% to 

larger ones.

Europe are included in your ticket. Please check with your 

travel consultant at time of booking.

24 BRITAIN AND IRELAND 

St. John’s College, Cambridge University 

From the rolling hills and sweeping dales of County Cork to the 

buzzing cobblestone streets of London, you’ll feel right at home 

during a trip to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. These 

strongholds of history are raw and beautiful, regal and bursting 

with life. They’re an unforgettable holiday destination. 

England 

From the undulating hills of Oxfordshire to Stratford-upon- 

Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare, England is beauty 

and history combined. It’s also the perfect destination for 

adventure and activity, whether you’re cycling in Norfolk, 

surfing off Newquay or rock climbing in the Peak District. 

London, England’s capital, is a melting pot of people and 

has some of the richest culture in Europe. Visit the Tower 

of London, wander along the Thames, marvel at Big Ben, 

take a black cab or a red double decker bus ride – all 

quintessential British experiences. Be sure, too, to make it 

out of London’s gates and relax with the locals in a country 

pub, enjoy a balmy summer’s day music festival or watch a 

cricket match, the nation’s offical pastime. 

Scotland 

Great things come in small packages and Scotland certainly 

has many treasures. For the history buff, visit Edinburgh 

and Glasgow; for the hungry, try haggis, Angus beef or 

smoked salmon; or, for the thirsty, sample the nation’s 

malt whiskies. There are cold, glittering seas washing 

against the Outer Hebrides and untamed mountain scenery 

of the Highlands & Northern Islands. Wildlife watchers 

should look for otters, eagles, whales and dolphins, 

while hill walkers can tackle almost 300 peaks. 

There’s turbulent history, castles and country pubs, 

canoeing and caber-tossing, golfing and fishing and 

all-round good craic (lively conversation). 

Wales 

Britain and 

Ireland 

The Welsh spirit is the country’s defining feature 

and it’s evident everywhere, from its art and films to 

rollicking traditional music and non-stop live rock scene. 

Wales is also supremely beautiful; magnificent cities, 

sweeping mountains and dramatic coastlines. Seek out 

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and walk its winding 

trails past pounding surf, windswept beaches and plunging 

limestone cliffs. Cosmopolitan Cardiff, the Welsh capital, 

is a mix of eccentric castle, dynamic waterfront and 

unmissable St. Fagans National History Museum. It’s also 

a hotspot for nightlife and patriotic sporting events. 

Visit Wales and tour villages with tongue-twisting names 

before settling down in a cosy pub with a pint of local ale, 

or join adrenaline junkies in a quest for the ultimate 

white-knuckle adventure. 

Ireland 

Things to see and do 

• Art lovers can experience the Artists Open Houses 

festival which happens every year in May during 

the Brighton Festival 

• Visit the lively city of Manchester and be sure to experience 

a game of football 

• Take a scenic walk along Hadrian’s Wall 

• The Chelsea Garden Show held in May is a must-do for avid 

garden lovers 

• Enjoy the wild scenery of the Scottish Highlands 

• Visit the world-famous Guinness Storehouse in Dublin 

• Unfold the myths and legends as you explore the Giant’s 

Causeway in Belfast 

From shamrocks to leprechauns and 40 shades of green, 

the Emerald Isle is warm and inviting. Follow its craggy 

coastlines and rolling hills to historic castles and cosy 

pubs where friendly locals chat animatedly over pints of 

Guinness. Ireland will delight with its unique traditions, 

beauty and personality. 

Northern Ireland 

A land full of storytellers, Northern Ireland is the ultimate 

holiday tale. By day, explore its lush gardens, age-old 

castles, monuments and monasteries, and rugged 

mountains. By night, enjoy its warm, welcoming pubs 

and hale, hearty food. After a visit to Northern Ireland, 

you’ll have stories to last you a lifetime.

56 IRELAND 

Northern Ireland coast 

The Emerald Isle delights with its unique traditions, beauty and 

personality. Said to be 40 shades of green, the Irish landscape Atlantic Ocean is a jawdropping 

extravaganza of mountain, lake, sea and sky. Take a walk 

along a beautifully scenic track through county villages of thatched 

cottages, or stop off at a welcoming pub that’s filled to overflowing 

with lively music, pints of Guinness and warm-hearted locals. 

Republic of Ireland 

From the picture-postcard harbour villages of County 

Cork to the remote wilderness of Donegal and the lively 

city of Dublin, Ireland is beautiful. There are countless 

opportunities to explore the countryside, whether it’s 

hiking the hills of Kerry and Connemara, or surfing the 

beach breaks of Bundoran. 

In the land of U2 and writer James Joyce, there are cultural 

pleasures too. Dublin, Cork and Galway City all have 

wonderful restaurants, vibrant pubs and a jumping livemusic 

scene, while you can enjoy traditional Irish music in 

pubs from Limerick to Doolin and Killarney. 

There is a wealth of history to discover, from the countless 

medieval castles and early Christian monasteries. 

Ireland is also renowned for its traditional handiwork, 

including Waterford crystal, Donegal tweeds and 

Aran sweaters. 

Northern Ireland 

From the 17th century city walls of Derry (Londonderry) 

to the breathtaking scenery along the Causeway Coast to 

Belfast’s glorious Victorian architecture, Northern Ireland 

is a beautiful country and easy to explore – it’s just 136 

kilometres long and 112 kilometres wide. The nation’s 

capital, Belfast, is the product of politics, history and 

religion and you’ll see all three reflected in its Victorian 

architecture and ever-changing modern skyline. For 

natural beauty, visit Northern Ireland’s most popular 

attraction, the Giant’s Causeway, along the Causeway 

Coast, the mountains of Mourne in County Down and 

peaceful Fermanagh’s Lakes.

Many a song has been written about the beauty of the 

Irish countryside, from the stunning coastline of Cork to 

the Lakes of Killarney, and you will no doubt hear many 

heart-warming renditions while visiting the charming

and a quiet atmosphere.

by 1000 metre plus peaks, Killarney is also synonymous with

66 EUROPE 

Grand Palace, Brussels, Belgium 

Europe is intoxicating. It’s an irresistible mix of history, culture, 

city, coast and countryside all rolled into one. As one of the most 

popular holiday destinations in the world, a journey to Europe is an 

adventure you will treasure for a lifetime. 

France 

France is the Eiffel Tower, fine wine, romance and joie 

de vivre all rolled into one very chic nation. Savour art 

and intellect in the shining capital of Paris. See glorious 

history at Versailles. Travel south for Roman civilisation 

and the sparkling blue Mediterranean. Indulge your 

rich-and-famous fantasies in balmy Nice and St. Tropez. 

Ski. France is truly a sophisticated and charming land. 

Italy 

From art to food, stunning countryside to flamboyant 

fashion, Italy has it all. With 44 World Heritage-listed 

sites, more than any other country on earth, and its 

great città d’arte (cities of art), such as Rome, Venice and 

Florence, Italy draws visitors from around the world. You 

will find plenty to do in the Italian countryside too. You 

can hike the Dolomites, dive off Sardinia’s sun-bronzed 

coast, ski in the Alps, or watch Sicily’s moody volcanoes. 

Last but perhaps most importantly, a trip to Italy is about 

lapping up the lifestyle; enjoy an espresso at an al fresco 

cafe or a long, lazy lunch in the Mediterranean sun. 

Spain 

Spain is a treasure chest of artistic and architectural 

marvels, from colourful flamenco bailaores (dancers) 

and strutting toreros (bullfighters) to solitary castles and 

medieval towns. Its cities overflow with life: visit Madrid’s 

grand boulevards, art museums and outrageous nightlife; 

and sample Barcelona’s gourmet delights, buzzing 

waterfront and 2000 years of history. With its mountains 

and beaches, paellas and pitchers of sangria, Spain is not 

to be missed. 

Matterhorn, Switzerland 

Europe 

Portugal 

With its medieval castles, picture-postcard villages, 

dramatic coastlines and flower-covered hillsides, 

Portugal is enchanting. The country’s capital, Lisbon, 

and its northern cousin, Porto, are magical places with 

riverside vistas and cobblestone streets framed by 

spectacular cathedrals. 

Greece 

With its rugged beauty, idyllic Mediterranean islands 

and ancient cities, Greece is a holidaymaker’s dreamcome-true. 

Once the cradle of Western thought, art, 

literature, music and democracy, it’s home to the 

Acropolis, the most famous wonder of the ancient 

world, and people who value both their traditions 

and good times. Stay awhile and enjoy the tang of 

homemade tzatziki, the gossip in the kafeneia (coffee 

shops) and say kalimera (good morning) to Greece.

stunning Adriatic coastline and unexplored woodlands. 

Slovenia is Europe in miniature, with mountains and caves 

and cities and cultural wonders all wrapped up in a lush 

green countryside. 

Hungary 

Hungary lies at the heart of Europe and has a unique place 

in the continent’s soul; it gave us the music of Franz Liszt, 

the romance of the Danube River and Budapest, and a 

unique cuisine that’s not to be missed. Hungary will also 

satisfy your appetite for outdoor activity. Try the fishing, 

horse riding, cycling and bird-watching or simply relax in a 

world-famous thermal spa. 

Germany 

Like the cars it manufactures, Germany is a show of 

strength, efficiency, power and wealth. But this economic 

powerhouse has a softer side. Explore its beautiful 

landscape and charming townships, embrace its big cities 

and even bigger festivals, and enjoy the warmth of its 

traditions and people.

cosmopolitan Geneva, and the landscape-dotting Heidi 

houses. Beyond this lies a country of fused cultures, Italian, 

German and French and cuisine to match. While here 

indulge in the famous Emmental and Gruyère cheeses, and 

of course, stacks of Swiss chocolate. 

and you’ll be delighted by their relaxed and vibrant 

atmospheres. With its flat, green landscape, Denmark is 

a cyclists’ dream, while the mighty glaciers, fjords and 

valleys of Norway will astound. Grab your hiking boots 

and explore the pristine lakes and forests of Finland, 

jump aboard a boat and cruise the tiny islands around 

Sweden, or take a stroll through the Swedish countryside 

and discover plenty of evidence of the nation’s proud 

Viking roots. 

Belgium 

Belgium might be a small country, however it is a very 

special one, it is unfortunate that Belgium is often 

overlooked when holiday makers plan their European 

escape. This treasure is situated between the desirable 

and sometimes most sort-after destinations of London, 

Paris and Amsterdam, therefore Belgium is often treated 

as a stepping stone to the English Channel, or, at most, a 

quick stop-over for a visit to the capital, Brussels. Beyond 

the capital, you will discover the charm of lazy seaside 

towns and inland woodlands that feature medieval castles. 

Over the years, Belgium has become a country that has 

inspired many artists and writers based on the charm of its 

Gothic cathedrals, town halls and rich museums.

Discover the mesh of Muslim, Jewish and Christian cultures in the

There’s time to explore the old Arab quarter of Albayzin, with its 

maze of alleyways and sweeping views of the Sierra Nevada. For the 

best spot at sunset, head to the Mirador de San Nicolas at the very 

top of the city’s steep streets. A visit to the exceptional Alhambra – 

a red fortress overlooking the city of Granada – is a must.

tourist-friendly areas.

as the Louvre and the lovely Tuileries Gardens, Place 

Vendome and Les Halles. Walk down the Rue Faubourg

south, popular with artists and the fashion set. This part 

of the Marais is home to the National Museum of Picasso 

and Place des Vosges, as well as some unique speciality 

shops and boutiques. Its winding streets are pedestrianfriendly 

and great to wander through, window shopping 

along the way.

medieval streets take you through a large part of the 

Marais. The bustling, cosmopolitan area includes many

To holiday in Rome is to enter a world of unrivalled 

art, history and faith fused with modern style, energy 

and pace. Walk the ancient streets here and see the 

amazing monuments of lost civilisations; journey 

to the heart of the Roman Catholic religion, The 

Vatican; or throw a coin over your shoulder into 

the Trevi Fountain. This famous custom is said to 

ensure you’ll return to Rome. A second coin will have 

you fall in love with an Italian, and the third snag a 

marriage proposal.

enjoys a heritage of art and architecture (Roman, Islamic, Gothic, 

Renaissance, Baroque) without parallel in southern Spain. The 

charm of the Andalucian capital lies in its winding, medieval

colourful Lisbon cityscape is a mass of Gothic cathedrals, 

majestic monasteries, quaint museums, narrow lanes and 

curvy, tree-lined backstreets. Ride a bright yellow tram as 

it winds its way through the city, stroll alongside Lisboêtas 

(Lisbon locals) through the old quarters, and exchange 

gossip in a public bath or over fresh bread and wine at tiny 

alfresco restaurants as fadistas (performers of traditional 

Portuguese “fado” music) serenade you. 

Regional Portugal 

Regional Portugal has an old-fashioned charm, from the 

ancient university town of Coimbra to fairytale-esque 

Sintra, a place of richly coloured palaces, mist-shrouded

guard over a sleepy village. So escape the crowds – take a 

short bus ride or a walk through the countryside to a land 

of rarely visited places that still offer the feeling 

of discovery.

the historic and enchanting capital of Funchal before 

delving into the lush countryside, dotted with towering 

peaks, rolling hills and charming villages. Join an iconic 

‘Levada’ walk, which follows mini canals created in the 

Portugal 

Medieval castles, picture-postcard villages, meandering coastlines, 

flower-covered hillsides, sun-kissed beaches, dramatic, end-of-theworld 

cliffs, wild dunes, protected coves and long, sandy islands 

will enchant visitors to Portugal. The nation’s capital, Lisbon, 

and its northern neighbour, Porto, are magical places too, with 

riverside views, cobblestone streets and rattling trams framed 

by looming cathedrals. 

16th century to bring water from the rainy north of the

bananas and grapes grow. The original settlers chipped 

away at the cliffs and tunnelled through solid rock to 

make channels and tunnels with a slight slope so that the 

water meandered towards its destination.

To visit Athens is to step back ROME in time. Majestic and proud, 

the Parthenon stands sentinel over this ancient city, as 

do the locals who toast their long and rich heritage of 

great food and wine, sophisticated culture and a relaxed 

ARDINIA 

lifestyle. Be sure to wander along the city’s jaw-dropping 

pedestrian promenade, then join Athenians for kafe 

(coffee), sample the local souvlaki, down an ouzo, and 

Tyrrhenian Sea 

party until dawn. 

Greek Islands 

LJUBLJANA 

The Greek Islands are perfection. The sun-kissed outcrops 

of dramatic rock and dappled green scattered amid a 

glittering sea are home to whitewashed houses, golden 

beaches, ancient olive groves, fragrant pine forests, herb- 

TUNIScovered 

mountains and pretty valleys. Add exuberant 

nightlife, lazy days, and a culture that includes ancient 

and modern themes, and the Greek Islands are irresistible.

Switzerland is enchanting: from its snow-capped peaks and alpine 

lakes to grand cathedrals, glamorous St Moritz, cosmopolitan 

Geneva, and landscape-dotting Heidi houses. A country of fused 

cultures - Italian, German and French - Switzerland has the cuisine 

to match. Chomp on a sausage over beer or tuck into pasta and 

a glass of merlot; enjoy a skewerful of famous Gruyère fondue; 

and without doubt, savour a box of sweet Swiss chocolate. 

Zurich 

Switzerland’s largest city enjoys the finer things in life: 

lively bars, great restaurants, elegant theatres, buzzing 

clubs, and Europe’s largest annual street party. You can 

explore the city’s stunning medieval heart, marvel at the 

grand spires of the Grossmuenster and Fraumuenster 

cathedrals, and drink from the city’s pristine lake. 

Lucerne 

According to legend, an angel with a light showed 

Lucerne’s pioneers where to build their chapel, 

and since then this beautiful settlement in central 

Switzerland hasn’t looked back. Known today as the 

City of Lights, Lucerne has a wealth of 15th and 17th 

century architecture to admire, including its impressive 

town hall, and is a wonderful base for exploring the 

surrounding countryside, from its towering mountains to 

gin-clear lakes and meadows of edelweiss. Scattered with 

traditional Heidi houses and ringing cowbells, this region 

is a wonderful holiday destination. 

Geneva 

Hugging the southern shores of Europe’s largest alpine 

lake, Geneva is a sleek and cosmopolitan city. The city’s 

Old Town teems with historic sites – fountain-filled 

squares, cobblestone laneways, enviable museums and 

marvellous galleries – and its modern quarter hums with 

great hotels, restaurants and international cuisine. Don’t

Sweden 

Vikings and Volvos, ABBA and IKEA all are synonymous 

with Sweden. But that’s just the tip of the country’s 

offshore icebergs. The land of the midnight sun and 

snowbound winters is also the birthplace of the Nobel Prize 

and home to a landscape of immeasurable beauty. Explore 

its dense forests, lush countryside and clear, coastal waters, 

and when you’re done dive into its traditional heartlands, 

Dalarna and Sami territory, and hip cities. 

Finland 

Covered with a thick blanket of snow or basking in golden 

summer sun, Finland is a vital and exciting country. Finland 

explodes into life with many a festival and competition, 

from the traditional motor racing and ice hockey to quirky 

events such as wife carrying and mobile-phone throwing. 

Winter is charming too: snow sports are a national pastime 

and you won’t want to miss the breathtaking aurora 

borealis light up the northern sky. 

Norway 

Norway is defined by its incomparable landscape of 

grand fjords, rugged mountains, stunning coastline and 

pristine wilderness. It’s also a land of polar bears, 3,000 

at last count, of midnight-sun summer cruises, beautiful 

architecture and the world’s wealthiest people (per 

capita). Don’t miss Jotunheimen National Park – the roof 

of Norway with glaciers, hiking trails and one of Norway’s 

most beautiful drives. 

Scandinavia 

Scandinavia is a special and unforgettable part of Europe. Landscapes of towering alpine peaks, endless 

views of pine forest, polar plains, meadows, glaciers, with the eastern edge lined with a rolling coastline. 

The land of the midnight sun and the staggeringly beautiful northern lights will captivate.

142 CROATIA 

Croatia 

Croatia is delightful. Along its coastline, a glistening sea winds around rocky coves and laps at 

pine-fringed beaches. Ports bustle with fishermen while children dive into sparkling water and yachts 

glide up the coast and moor off the sublime city of Dubrovnik. Inland it’s just as enticing: cities buzz 

with nightlife amid ancient Roman ruins and you can soak in thermal spas, explore pristine forests 

and swim in mountain streams. 

Zagreb 

Combining the best of Eastern and Western Europe, 

Zagreb is a fabulous mix of history, culture and old-world 

graciousness. Explore its monuments, galleries and 

museums then wander its narrow, 18th century streets 

in search of an open-air market selling everything from 

tomatoes and tulips to hand-painted wooden eggs. 

The town centre houses fine restaurants, fashionable 

boutiques, relaxed pubs and rowdy beer halls all in 

elegant Austro-Hungarian buildings. 

Split 

This Croatian city is the largest on the Adriatic coast and a 

major transport hub, sending ferries out to the Dalmatian 

islands and beyond. There is much to explore within the 

walls of its World Heritage-listed Diocletian’s Palace – 

marvel at its majestic cathedral; lose yourself in Split’s 

tangle of marble streets dotted with shops and businesses; 

or soak up the city’s vibrant, bustling atmosphere in one 

of its many cafes lining the harbourside promenade. 

Dubrovnik 

Wander atop its curtain of ochre-coloured walls and drink 

in the views of the sparkling Adriatic; explore its marble 

streets, Baroque buildings, steep-stepped alleyways, 

magnificent monuments, bustling cafes, churches, 

monasteries and museums; and watch the sun slide 

into the sea. Beyond its walls is a divine landscape of 

white-pebble beaches, wooded peninsulas and inviting 

islands lazing in a warm blue sea.

Perhaps Croatia’s most famous city, 

Lord Byron declared Dubrovnik the 

‘pearl of the Adriatic’. The city’s 

fortified walls rise out from the 

Adriatic, framing the city with shiny 

sapphire blue waters and lending it a 

sense of authority as it peers out to 

the horizon. Wander the Old Town’s 

main pedestrian thoroughfare, the 

Placa, taking in the baroque buildings 

and outdoor cafes. Dive into the maze 

of alleys in the Old Town to discover 

where some of the city’s best-kept 

secrets are uncovered – local 

restaurants and relaxed bars perfect 

for a pit stop in between walking 

cobblestone streets. 

Dubrovnik Old Town 

s 

The tour begins with a coach drive to the coastal highway for 

a panoramic view of the city walls, ancient roof tops and the 

picturesque surroundings. You then continue with a walking 

tour of the city, which is on UNESCO’s list of World Patrimony, 

due to its exceptional beauty and its rich cultural heritage. 

This ancient town, surrounded by strong ramparts and 

fortresses, is a treasure trove of architectual and cultural 

masterpeices, scrupulously preserved over the centuries. 

A pleasant walk will take you to the Rector’s Palace, the 

Dominican Monastery and to other places of interest.

Please read these conditions carefully as 

they apply to all Qantas Holidays bookings. 

Suppliers: Qantas Holidays is not itself a 

transport, tour, event or accommodation 

provider. In making your travel 

arrangements we act only as an agent 

for the airlines, hotels, tour operators and 

other suppliers who supply those services. 

You should obtain and read the applicable 

supplier’s terms and conditions as they 

may limit or exclude their liability to you. 

How to book: Contact your licensed 

AFTA travel consultant, who will be 

responsible for managing your booking 

and forwarding your payment to us. You 

will be deemed to have accepted these 

conditions on behalf of everyone named in 

your booking. Please note that all requests 

for bookings are subject to availability. 

Booking fee: Your travel agency may 

apply a booking fee in addition to the 

price of your holiday package. Please 

check at the time of booking. 

Payment: A non-refundable deposit 

is payable within seven days of 

confirmation of your booking: 

• domestic (within Australia) $55 

per person 

• international $165 per person 

• plus any additional deposit required 

by suppliers (you will be notified at the 

time of booking) 

Payment of the balance in full is required 

at least 30 days before the scheduled 

commencement of your holiday (or earlier 

if specified for the particular package). 

For bookings made within this period, 

full payment is required at the time of 

booking. 

If you have not paid by the due date, 

we may cancel your booking and retain 

your deposit. 

Cancellations: If you cancel your booking, 

the amount of your deposit will not be 

refunded, including deposits required by 

suppliers. If you have paid the balance 

of your holiday price, suppliers may also 

impose cancellation fees amounting to 

all or part of the total price paid. Once 

your holiday has commenced, you 

cannot cancel or obtain a refund on any 

component of your booking regardless of 

whether you use it. 

Changes by you: If you change your 

holiday package and your documents 

need to be reissued, a change fee is 

payable at the time of the change: 

• domestic (within Australia) $27 

• international $25 

• plus any cancellation / change fee 

imposed by suppliers for any component 

you cancel. 

Unforseen changes: If we have to change 

any part of your booking, for example, if 

an airline changes its schedules or your 

chosen accommodation is no longer 

available, or if there is an increase in the 

price due to additional taxes or supplier 

charges, we will notify you. You will have 

the option of cancelling your booking, 

in which case we will refund the amount 

you have paid, less any cancellation fees 

imposed by other suppliers. 

International travel: Each passenger is 

responsible for their own visa, passport 

(with at least 6 months validity), 

immigration, quarantine, customs, health 

and other requirements of the countries 

to be visited or transited through. Qantas 

Holidays makes no representations as 

to the safety, conditions or other issues 

that may arise at any destination. Travel 

advice is available from the Australian 

Government at smartraveller.gov.au. 

Limit of liability: To the maximum 

extent permitted by law, Qantas Holidays 

excludes all liability for direct, indirect, 

consequential or incidental damages, 

lost profits or savings or damages for 

disappointment. Our liability for a breach 

of condition or warranty implied by law or 

otherwise, and which cannot be excluded, 

is limited to the extent possible, at our 

option to the supply of the services again 

or the payment of the cost of having the 

services supplied again. 

Insurance: Consider purchasing 

travel insurance. 

Brochure validity: The prices and 

inclusions in this brochure are valid for the 

dates specified and should be used only 

as a guide in relation to other dates. The 

prices are correct at date of publication 

but may fluctuate due to changes in 

surcharges, fees, taxes and currency. 

Please check all prices, availability and 

other information with your travel 

consultant before booking. 

Booking conditions 155 

Descriptions: Product descriptions and 

pictures are generally provided by the 

suppliers. Facilities may change from 

time to time. Pictures may not show the 

particular room, décor, view or other 

specifications included in your booking. 

Please check all details with your travel 

consultant before booking. Anything 

not specifically included in the holiday 

package is at your expense. 

NOTE: Many images are supplied courtesy of hotels, tour operators, 

tourist bureaus and suppliers. 

Privacy: Qantas Holidays collects 

information about you (including health 

information where necessary) to provide 

products and services to you, process 

your travel arrangements, facilitate 

your participation in loyalty programs 

and conduct marketing activities and 

market research. If the information is not 

provided, Qantas Holidays may not be 

able to provide the service requested. 

Qantas Holidays may disclose your 

personal information to its related 

companies, carriers, travel service 

providers, organisations which provide 

services to Qantas Holidays (more details 

are available in our Privacy Statement on 

our website www.qantas.com/holidays) 

and various law enforcement agencies, 

airports and governments around 

the world for security, customs and 

immigration purposes. You may 

gain access to the information Qantas 

Holidays holds about you by contacting 

Qantas Holidays Customer Relations in 

writing at PO Box 7419, Alexandria, NSW 

2015 Australia. 

Law of contract: These conditions are 

governed by the laws of Australia and 

any action arising under them or in any 

way connected with a Qantas Holidays 

package may be brought only in a court 

in Australia, subject to any law which is 

expressly inconsistent with this. 

Please check our complete and up to date 

full booking conditions available at our
