Charter Trips. If your package trip involves a charter flight, or if your vacation involves an air-on1y charter flight, federal regulations require that you also sign the charter operator's participant agreement, which will be mailed to you. It is extremely important that you realize that, for charters: Departure rimes (both going and returning) can change at the last minute. These delays legally can be as much as 48 hours (approximately two days late). Your flight may be advertised as non-stop; however, the operator may legally change the routing and make intermediate stops at the last minute. The charter operator may legally-substitute types of aircraft and even airline at the last minute. Charter aircraft are generally not as comfortable as the scheduled aircraft. The charter operator generally takes no responsibility for baggage It is not unusual to have luggage misplaced. Charter trips have very stiff cancellation penalties. No one plans a trip with the idea of canceling; however, sometimes that becomes necessary and you must understand what to expect or not to expect in the way of refunds. Usually, no frequent flyer miles are accrued. Advance seat assignments are frequently not available.
