If you need to change dates or travel components, a $25 processing fee may be charged plus any additional charges by a hotel or transportation company (if any). However, due to air security regulations, names on airline records may not be changed. Most airlines will require a service charge in order to make any changes, and some airlines will not allow changes of any sort to an itinerary once the first date of travel has commenced. It is your responsibility to insure that travel arrangements specified in our confirmation to you are correct. NYCVP cannot be responsible for mistakes, inaccuracies or miscommunication that is not brought to our attention immediately upon receipt of a confirmation.

What if I need to cancel?We will return all your money except as follows:If canceled more than 30 days before departure, full refundless $50 per person plus supplier penalties.If canceled 30 days or less before departure, full refund less$100 per person plus supplier penalties.Supplier penalties may include 1-night hotel fee, cost of airlineticket and cost of theater or other event tickets, or special options.For travel during New York City’s peak season (Sunday prior toThanksgiving through December 31) additional hotelcancelation penalties will apply.Note that some hotels and transportation companies impose their own penalties which will be deducted from the refund. NYCVP may, in certain cases, impose a 100% penalty if the package is canceled within 72 hours of departure. Refunds will not be processed until: (1) all documents are returned to NYCVP, and (2) all monies are refunded to NYCVP from suppliers. Theater, event tickets and certain special options are not refundable. Ask at time of booking. We highly recommend purchasing cancellation insurance, which may cover any and all penalties.

What about my flights?If NYCVP books your airfare into New York City, we will try toaccommodate your preferences for air schedules and seating, but this is not always possible. You or your travel agent should call the airline to verify seat selection and to reconfirm flights. You must show government-issued photo ID (that matches the name on your airline ticket exactly) at airline check-in counter, or you will be denied boarding.

What else should I know?Don’t plan on checking into your hotel until at least 3pm, because your room probably won’t be ready. You must check out of your room by 11am or noon on the day of departure. Also, remember that any particular requests you make, like adjoining rooms, specific bedding or specific theater seats, are only requests, and are the responsibility of the particular supplier, not NYCVP.
