The visa regime depends on destination. For some countries, the entry or transit visas are required. We recommend that you contact the visa department of GLOBAL AIR or embassies of all countries included into your route, for registration of the necessary permits before the trip.
Your document (passport) should be valid for at least the whole period of your trip. But in view of the specific requirements of some countries, it may be required that the validity of the document would be even considerably longer than the duration of your trip (often at least 6 months). Learn more about all the requirements for passports, please verify details before a trip, in the offices of GLOBAL AIR - or embassy of the country you intend to visit.
Full ticket price consists of taxes (as a rule, a constant value) - a variety of fees (for fuel, ground handling of aircraft and passenger service at the airport, air navigation services and flight safety, and much more) and the rate - which is the basic airfare as determined by the carrier. It depends on the demand (popularity) in a particular direction, taking into account the time of year, season, day of week and time of day. Accordingly, the two tickets for the same route but at different times may differ in value.
Tariffs (cost of air service) - are divided into normal and special. "Normal" (flexible) tariffs - are higher (expensive) rates without restrictions, which can be used by any passenger for the trip. Special (Special) - are relatively cheap, discount rates, which can be limited by time of reservation and its terms of payment, the length of stay at the destination, the terms of change of dates, refusal of transportation, etc.and can be provided to certain categories of passengers (students, senior citizens, corporate rates and so forth.). Ticket price and applied tariffs do not affect the quality of service on board the aircraft. The passenger can be sure to get seat in the cabin, and the service corresponding to the class.
International air traffic regulations preclude such a possibility. However, if the tariff rules provide reimbursement of airline ticket, you should contact the nearest office of GLOBAL AIR for the procedures of refusal of carriage and registration of a new ticket. It is important to express the desire to return ticket as soon as possible - it will allow to process required changes with minimal penalties.
Sometimes this can be done because some airlines permit to return air ticket when the passenger are refused entry and / or transit. For return authorization, you should submit to the airline a scanned page of the passport (with the stamp of the refusal) as well as an official letter from the consulate (with your data, and seal).
You can use only the first portion of the route, while not using the second portion. For example: having a ticket with a route: Almaty - Frankfurt - Paris-Frankfurt - Almaty, you can use the distance Almaty - Paris Frankfurt- without using the return flight. But if you got to Paris, while not using the ticket, you cannot use it on your return portion.

Stamp on refusal of a visa in your passport does not prohibit the re-filing. Analyze the reasons why you might be denied a visa.

First of all you have to conclude an agreement on buying a route sheet with the tour company, which subsequently regulates civil legal relationship between you and the travel company. Then the route sheet itself, which states: the point of departure and arrival (country, city), tour dates (days / nights), the name and the level of the hotel, comfort level of rooms (SNGL, DBL, etc.), transfer and excursions (if it is included in the price), mode of transport (air, rail).
Terms of visas for entry into a particular country are established by consular authorities of a particular country, and no foreign consular office ever promises to the travel agency one hundred percent visa permission to its customers. No other organization can guarantee to tourists one hundred percent visa permission. The final decision to grant a visa is always in full and exclusive authority of the relevant embassy. Powers of travel agencies include: Verification of profiles, control over a complete set of visa documents , and their timely submission to the embassy for review. At the same time travel agency has no influence on the decision of foreign consular offices for visa, acting only as an intermediary representing the interests of the customer. The Embassy has the discretion to request additional documents from the tourist or assign a personal interview.
It is possible, however, at the same time it is necessary to strictly observe the following rules: rule of the "main country" - when traveling in several countries of the Schengen, visa shall always be registered in the Embassy of the country, which accounts for the main part of your trip; "rule of the first entry" - if the main country is not defined (all countries along the route have equal number of days of stay), the visa is issued by the embassy of the country of the first entry (in this case it is necessary to enter the Schengen precisely through this country). Violation of these rules can lead to deportation or denial of a visa at the subsequent visit.
Usually, the embassy does not explain the reason for the refusal. However, the cause of refusal can be the following factors: pre-existing visa violations (overdue visa, the use of visas not on purpose, failure to comply with the rules of "the first entry", illegal work, etc.), the applicant already has had refusals in other embassies, violations of public order, recorded during previous trips, unpaid fines and court costs, being suspected of threatening state security or public safety, false documents, concealment or misrepresentation of personal data, concealment of dual citizenship or having residence in another country, etc. In addition, they can refuse on suspicion of intending to immigrate illegally or on the basis of inconclusive data on financial solvency. We always inform the client about the current visa regulations and caution against hasty steps.
Principle All Inclusive – means drinks and meals included in the tour price, at the place of residence. This feature is standard in the first place for Turkey, Egypt and the Dominican. Meals significantly vary depending on the star of hotels. By the way, at about the same cost of tours to Turkey and Spain (Greece, Cyprus, etc.), eventually the first will cost considerably cheaper precisely because of the option "all inclusive".
Stars of hotels are determined by the infrastructure and site, animation, availability of the beach, room quality and the level of meals and is quite conventional concept. Most five-star hotels, in fact, cannot boast of quality services worthy of this level, at the same time there are excellent three-star hotels that are as good as four-star ones, etc.
"Duty Free" - is a zone of free trade, which sells primarily cigarettes, alcohol, sweets and perfumes. Due to the absence of excise duties, all products are much cheaper than in traditional stores. Such kind of shops are located mainly in the airport, and the tourist gets access to them only after receiving a boarding pass immediately before departure. But there are exceptions, for example, in Sharm El-Sheikh (Egypt) the store "Duty Free" is located in the city, and within 24 hours after the arrival a tourist can purchase goods there.
When planning your vacation, always remember the tourist season. The choice is determined by your preferences.
In summer, everyone traditionally has a rest on the sea, and in the winter it is better to go to a guided tour, or visit the ski resort.
The most expensive time for the vacation - is a "high" season, July and August. It is at this time in the resorts there is the largest number of tourists. Therefore, sometimes it is better to postpone the vacation until the fall, to the "velvet season", when the prices for hotel accommodation are falling, and the weather at many popular resorts (Turkey, Malta, Cyprus, Spain) become perfect for relaxing. Period falling on late May - early June is also attractive for reasonable prices and good weather conditions.
Mid-January and all of February - is a traditional period of special offers, and at this time it is cost-effective to rest at sea, and in the ski resorts.
SC - completely without meals (usually in apartments)

UAL, UAI (ultra aIl inclusive) - this type of meals is called "ultra all inclusive", which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is certainly a buffet. The main difference from the usual "all inclusive" is an offer of drinks not just of local, but also foreign production. Also in this type of food you will find not only a buffet, but you will also be able to eat in a variety of World Cuisines. An additional advantage is the availability of desserts, goodies and other snacks throughout the day.
