Legal and Registered name of the company is “Booking Squad”
Who are we?
We are travel agents registered by the name of “Booking Squad” in Chandigarh, Punjab. We book your travel arrangements (like Airline Tickets, Hotel reservations, Holiday packages, Travel Insurance, etc.) as a travel agent.
What are payment terms?
The person in whose name the booking is made acts on behalf of all other persons named and becomes responsible to us for all payments in respect of the booking. Booking is not confirmed until full payment is received. We are entitled to cancel your travel arrangements for non-payment as specified. Should we have to cancel your travel arrangements because you have failed to pay, you will be liable to pay us cancellation charges. Our back offices are located in different countries including India, Australia, and Canada. The processing of your reservation and payment might take place at any of these back offices, including back offices in India, Australia, and Canada.
Booking Deposits
Where deposits are taken this only guarantees the seat NOT any fare increase, the deposit is non-refundable.
Amendments or Date change.
If after booking you wish to change your travel arrangements, we will do our utmost to meet this new instruction as long as these are received by us in writing and accompanied by a change fee. Please enquire for more details with our consultants. Changes cannot be made to passenger names and it is your responsibility to book under the correct names as they appear in the passport or photo id which you carry to travel. Name changes will be treated as cancellations and will be subject to the cancellation charges as per the airline or hotel cancellation policy. Please note that some travel arrangements cannot be changed after a reservation has been made and any changes will incur a 100% cancellation charge. All fares are subject to change, sometimes without advance notice: it is therefore in your own interest to finalize payment as soon as possible, as fares can only be guaranteed if full payment has been received.
Cancellation by the Passenger
You may cancel your booking at any time as long as it is communicated to us in writing. As this incurs airline and administration costs, we will retain your deposit (deposits are non-refundable) and additional cancellation charges may apply. Cancellation charges on airline tickets are dependent on the airline, the fare type, and when the cancellation takes place. The cancellation charges are varying from 25% to 100% of the booking cost please check at the time of booking. It should be noted that the majority of discounted airline tickets are non-refundable.
Refund Policy
Refunds can take anything between 3 and 4 weeks. Refund will be made in the same mode as used for making the payment, i.e. if the payment is made through a card, a refund will be made on the same card; similarly, if payment is made through a bank transfer, a refund will be made in client’s bank account through online transfer. If you got travel insurance and the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of an insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges.
Credit Card Charges
Bookings, where payment is made by credit card, are liable for the following surcharges: 2.5% on Visa & Master Card 3.5% on American Express and Diner`s Club.
Special Requests
If a company is making a special request on your behalf, e.g. Meals, Seats, Room requests, etc., we will communicate that request to those responsible authorities (i.e. Airline or Hotel) which is booked. A special request cannot be guaranteed and therefore we cannot be held responsible if your request is not fulfilled.

Any claim for damage, injury, death, loss, or delay in connections or inconvenience caused or suffered by any passenger or his property howsoever arising shall be made directly against the carrier or other responsible person, firm, or company concerned.
