Terms and Conditions for non-Medjugorje Pilgrimages

Registration and Payment:
The process of signing up for a trip is easy and just requires a reservation form, which can be submitted online or via mail, or we can take the information over the phone. We will then submit your passport name(s) and departure city and request flights. We will typically have a reservation back within 24 hours and will contact you via email (or call if necessary) with the flight details and also confirm pricing with you. You will then have 48 hours to confirm or cancel the reservation. There is no obligation to check flights.

Please double check your passport name against the name on the reservation as no change of names on tickets is permitted once they are issued. If you want to confirm, the airlines will want to immediately issue your e-ticket(s) so we will need to arrange for payment in full. Once we receive payment we will confirm your reservation and the airlines will issue your e-tickets within about 72 hours.

Once we receive your e-tickets we will forward them on to you via email (or by mail if necessary). Required registration information includes the passenger's full name (as it appears on their US or Canadian passport), departure city, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
