December 26, 2023:

1. Airline namelist and passports: We will send the airline list - see this Download for a blank list/template - to the coach/manager to double check before it goes to the airlines. See also very important information for passport procedures on the airline sheet in this document. Important: It is the sole responsibility of all travelers' to have the proper/valid travel documents, including a valid passport.

We cannot accept any changes and/or additions after this deadline. 

3. Team Profile and Roster Form Download: We need this form before this deadline so we can inform our local staff better about the level of your team or to send your roster to the tournament.  

4. Rooming list : After the tour is confirmed by the airline and ground suppliers, this rooming list will be available here - Download - so you can start assigning rooms. For room types/configuration: See the tour confirmation on the website specifically designed for your group. Please make sure you add double or twin rooms next to each room so we can request this with the hotel.

7. Gifts for opposing teams: Did you think about a gift for the opposing team(s)? We encourage your group to have team pennants for the opposing teams. It is not mandatory or expected to exchange anything, but it is customary for the captains to exchange pennants or some sort of club keepsake and it is optional for the rest of the players to exchange something (patch, pin, pennant, etc.).

​

January 21, 2024:

This is the final deadline for your group to make changes, book additional people, etc. Please note that after this date we cannot accept:

1. Any additional people and/or 

2. Any flight or tour deviations and special requests

If you need a deviation (earlier flight departure than the group or later flight return than the group) you need to do this as soon as possible. The airlines charge a standard deviation fee of $150.00 per person (group rates are subject to availability) plus a possible increase in fare on the requested deviation. All deviation requests are subject to availability of flights. Please note that airlines allow only a maximum of 10-20% of the group to deviate (percentage depends on the specific airline) and the deviations must be done with the same airline as the group. Deviations can be made for either the return flight only or outbound flight only (depending on the specific airline) but not both. Only a select few airlines allow routing changes on deviations so routing changes are also subject to the conditions of the specific airline used for the group flights. Most of the time you cannot upgrade group tickets to business or first class. With your tour confirmation we will reconfirm the exact deviation policy of the airline we have booked for your group.

Payments 

Please note that our primary focus and goal is to organize a perfect tour for your group. Therefore, we must set some rules for the payments to avoid spending more time managing individual payment requirements than the group’s tour arrangements. To avoid any misunderstanding, the $200.00 deposit per person is non-refundable under any circumstances.  

​

Your group’s payment schedule and how to make payments.
$ 200.00 non-refundable deposits with booking
$ 900.00 per person on or before November 1, 2023
$ 900.00 per person on or before January 17, 2024

Balance due per person on or before March 1, 2024

Each payment installment must be made as one group payment on behalf of all paying travelers via wire transfer or check(s). Your group needs to assign a person to collect individual payments/checks from all travelers. Then the assigned group contact will mail us a check/the checks or wire payment (from one account) as per payment schedule. We will give the assigned group contact instructions and information on how to wire the funds if your group wants to wire payment. Your group/group contact will be reimbursed for any wire fees incurred.
 

As per our General Conditions, PIT reserves the right to cancel the agreement and charge cancellation fees should there be non-fulfillment of payments, as per the payment schedule, by the group or any individuals from the group. 

​

Communication Structure
One person (manager or coach) will be the main contact of Premier International Tours. This person should always be copied in on all communications with Premier International Tours.
 

Travel Protection (travel insurance)

We strongly encourage your participants to consider purchasing travel protection, which may include Accident and Sickness Medical Expense, Trip Cancellation, and Trip Interruption coverage. We offer the option to purchase travel protection with our partner Travel Insured. Plan costs are calculated on a variety of factors such as the type of plan selected, age of the traveler(s) and tour cost. Please note that this is supplemental travel protection offered through a 3rd party, Travel Insured. As such, any purchase, and applicable terms and conditions of any purchase, are solely between Travel Insured and the purchaser/traveler, NOT Premier International Tours. 
Travel Insured has a Worldwide Trip Protector Plan which is a plan that includes trip cancellation (for reasons specifically listed within the policy/plan), trip interruption, baggage and medical benefits. This plan also offers the option to add Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) coverage, which includes trip cancellation for any reason, including reasons not listed within the policy/plan. CFAR coverage is up to 75% of the prepaid, nonrefundable trip cost (subject to $10,000 maximum). With CFAR you must cancel your trip 48 hours or more prior to scheduled departure. For trips that do not have any prepaid, nonrefundable expenses, CFAR is not available. This CFAR benefit through Travel Insured is not available to residents of New York State and additional cost and terms apply.

Travelers can purchase travel protection individually or as families. Click here to see plan details, price out and purchase the travel protection.

The travel protection plan that offers CFAR benefit requires that individuals/travelers purchase this optional benefit within 21 days of the date the initial payment or deposit for the tour is received.  Once we process your group’s trip deposit(s), we will notify your team manager to notify the group so your travelers know when the 21-day window start to purchase the travel protection with CFAR.
