11. TRAVEL INSURANCE: The best time to buy travel insurance is at the time of your first deposit. The earlier you buy insurance, the bigger your coverage window. The Travel Agency will include a comparison quote for various travel insurance policies on your initial trip quote for your review.
A few things you should know about travel insurance:
-
Benefits vary by plan. It’s important to choose a plan that fits your budget and travel plans. To see some of the definitions of available travel insurance benefits please visit https://www.allianztravelinsurance.com/find-a-plan/benefits
-
Travel insurance can’t cover every possible situation. Allianz Global Assistance offers named perils travel insurance, which means it covers only the specific situations, events, and losses included in your plan documents, and only under the conditions we describe.
-
Travel insurance is designed to cover unforeseeable events— not things you could easily see coming, or things within your control. If, for example, you wait to buy insurance for your beach trip until after a named hurricane is hurtling toward your destination, your losses wouldn’t be covered.
NOTE: Travel Insurance MUST be purchased within 10 days of making your initial trip deposit in order to be eligible for the pre-existing conditions benefit (not available on all plans).
12. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Travel documents will be sent to you no later than ten (10) days prior to the departure date. Please read through these documents immediately; please contact the Travel Agency to report any misspellings, incorrect dates, times, fares or rates. If you don’t report anything prior to departure the Travel Agency WILL NOT be responsibility for Intoxicating Travel Group LLC Included in your travel documents (if airfare is purchased through Intoxicating Travel Group LLC) are airline electronic ticket receipts (proof of purchase, not boarding passes or actual tickets). Boarding passes are printed at the time of check-in; online with the airline directly, or at the airport when showing a passport & checking in luggage. It is very important that you take your travel documents with you in addition to passports and a major credit card for any baggage fees that may apply.
13. PASSPORTS: All travelers, which is including children and infants, MUST have a VALID passport to travel internationally (not a Passport Card). Failure to comply will result in denial of boarding, no refund, and no exceptions (out of the USA). Intoxicating Travel Group LLC is NOT responsible for passports in ANY way. Passports are required to be valid for 6 months from your return date. PASSPORT CARDS ARE NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY VIA AIR! For Passport questions please visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel.html
14. TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN: If a child (under the age of 18) is traveling with only one parent or with someone who is not a parent or legal guardian, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) strongly recommends that the accompanying adult have a note from the non-traveling parent (or, in the case of a child traveling with neither parent, a note signed by both parents) stating “I acknowledge that my wife/husband/etc. is traveling out of the country with my son/daughter/group. He/She/They has/have my/our permission to do so.”
CBP suggests that this note be notarized. If there is no second parent with legal custody of the child (e.g. the second parent is deceased, one parent has sole custody, etc.), relevant paperwork such as a court decision, birth certificate naming only one parent, death certificate, etc., would be useful as well.
While CBP may not ask to see this documentation when the child enters the U.S., the U.S. is very sensitive to the possibility of child abduction and trafficking, and the child and accompanying adult could be detained if questions arise about the situation. While the U.S. does not require this documentation, many other countries do, and onward travel could be impeded without a notarized permission letter and/or other documentation. (Canada, for example, has very strict requirements in this regard). Intoxicating Travel Group LLC WILL NOT be responsible for any delays or cancelations for your planned travels due to a lack of compliance and improper documentation while traveling. It is the responsibility of the traveler & the traveler’s parents/guardians to provide the proper documentation to the airport authorities.
This advice applies to U.S. citizens and non-citizens alike. More information can be found by visiting https://de.usembassy.gov/visas/travel-tourism/travelers-faqs/children-traveling-with-one-parent-or-with-someone-who-is-not-a-parent-or-legal-guardian/

15. HONEYMOON & ANNIVERSARY TRAVELERS: You MUST bring a copy of your marriage certificate to qualify for any complimentary honeymoon/anniversary package (photocopy is recommended). Failure to have such proof of marriage will result in the resort denying these complimentary privileges (if applicable). PLEASE notify your Intoxicating Travel Group LLC agent if you are celebrating a Honeymoon or Anniversary so that they can annotate this in your reservation. Typically, the resort will honor these packages up to 30 days before or after your honeymoon/anniversary date.
16. CRIMINAL HISTORY: There may be some entry and exit restrictions based on each country for visitors. These restrictions are set forth by foreign governments and include DUIs, health concerns & vaccinations, child safety, and support, offensive actions, or any felony arrest history. It is every traveler's full responsibility to check and verify the entry, exit, passport, and visa requirements. To avoid entry or exit issues please visit https://travel.state.gov/ Intoxicating Travel Group LLC WILL NOT be liable if you are denied entry at any country's port of entry.

RE-CONFIRM YOUR FLIGHTS: Even though the Travel Agency provides you with a travel app that will give you flight status notifications (if you have downloaded the app and accepted to receive notifications) Intoxicating Travel Group LLC strongly recommends you personally re-confirm your flight schedule within 24 hours prior to departure directly with the airline in case of any last-minute changes or delays. Most airlines allow you to check in online 24 hours prior to departure using the “Record Locator” (found in your Intoxicating Travel Group LLC travel documents listed under the confirmation number)
AIRLINE CHECK-IN: For international travel, a good rule is to arrive at the airport 3 hours prior to departure and 2 hours for domestic travel. International flights often start boarding 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to the departure time. Most airlines will close the door to the aircraft 10 minutes prior to departure time. For updated travel information and Real I.D. requirements please visit
DELAYS: Flight delays are very common today. If your flight is delayed for any reason, the airlines are not required by law to pay for your en-route expenses, such as meals, hotels, taxis, and phone calls. Intoxicating Travel Group LLC is not responsible for any additional incurred costs due to these delays and/or cancelations. For possible reimbursement for these costs please refer to paragraph 11 under travel insurance benefits.
