Eligibility
Aero-Marine Interline Tours and Cruises Inc. acts only as an agent providing tours and cruises exclusively for
Working Airline Staff, their families, parents and airline retirees. Companion travel with
the employee is permitted with nearly every cruise line and tour vendor. Companions are
welcomed by most cruise lines if they share the cabin with the employee.
Different Rules for Interliners
All interline products are promotional in nature. The supplier or
vendor is giving something extra to the interliner, usually something beyond what he gives
the general public. Aero-Marine products are offered to interliners only. They are not
advertised to the general public. A different set of rules apply to interline bookings
than to the general public. When you are on an interline tour or cruise you are there
because of your airline employment. You are being privileged with an opportunity to enjoy
extra benefits from your airline travel package. The opportunity to travel as an
interliner is an extension of that airline benefit package. Thus you assume the
identity of the airline you work for. Your behavior reflects directly upon your airline.
Companions
must be brought up to speed on this aspect of their travel.
Please never communicate the price you paid with other revenue persons
on the same package. We need to keep our special benefits to ourselves before congress,
once again, tries to tax us for them.
When to Book
Book as far in advance as
possible.
Late Booking Fees
Short range clients require special
attention which takes the agent out of the normal routine. Any tour booked during the
period of less than 21 days before departure may have a surcharge. The
fee will depend on the complexity of the tour booked, the time factor, whether or not we
need to use FED EX etc. We will keep it as low as possible. In most cases the
late fee is $40. We are not trying to profit
from late booking fees. Payment for ALL bookings made within 21 days or
less prior to departure must be in the form of certified check, bank checks,
money order, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or AMEX. Personal checks will not be accepted.
Who May Book
Bookings can be made only by a
recognized interliner, i.e. employee, spouse, parent or retiree. The person making the
booking will be responsible to communicate all information given by telephone or letter
with his or her guests. Once a person has become the booking interliner, Aero-Marine
will only deal with that person who made the original booking both before and after the
tour or cruise takes place. This will insure consistency. Those traveling with the
booking interliner are to be considered guests of the booking interliner. A group of
interliners must appoint one spokesperson who will remain that spokesperson for all
matters pertaining to the package. In the event that the interline package is for an unaccompanied
companion, the companion must be booked by the interliner and follow all the rules
here outlined.
In most cases a copy of the
airline ID or retired ID would be accepted. This can be emailed to us
at info@aero-marine.com We do keep
them on file for future travel.
Parents need to submit a similar original letter outlining the above
and naming them as eligible parents. They also need to submit the photocopy of the
employee ID. They should make a copy of both the original letter and photocopied ID to
carry with them for identification.
Payment Procedure
You are responsible for the people for whom
you booked. If they are paying Aero-Marine via separate checks direct, YOU must make
sure that they indicate on the check memo line: w/(your name), tour/cruise, date of
departure. For example W/Jones, Paris, Nov. 1 or your reservation number.
Payment for cruises can be done via any major credit
card. We recommend this because if for any reason the cruise does not sail, the card
company will help you in getting your money back immediately.
For Aero-Marine Fly Drive programs, the interliner must pay for the
car rental
portion with a credit card in the name of the drive. Please check with
your credit card company to see if insurance is covered for international
rentals.
For all of Aero-Marine's tours and packages we accept personal checks
except for late bookings (less than 21 days prior to departure). Visa
, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX may also be used.
Aero-Marine requires a $300 deposit within one week of confirmation.
Final payments are due in our office no later than 60 days prior to the cruise or tour
departure date. We will not send reminder invoices.
Please read our cancellation
policy before you book..
