International Travel: Passports, Visas, Hazards and DisinsectionTravel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others.

Individual travellers and their companions are solely responsible for ensuring their travel documentation is valid. Passport, visa (including any and all transit visas) and health requirements are the responsibility of the individual travellers.
In view of the pandemic situation, governments may issue entry restrictions, visa suspensions and quarantine measures for travellers.

Travellers should refer to the latest information published by the government of their destination countries including countries you may just be transiting through.

Important Information Regarding Exchange RatesPurchases made on our Site are transacted exclusively in Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). If you make a purchase from us using a non-HKD-denominated credit or debit card, please be aware that, due to the constant fluctuation in exchange rates, our charge to your card or the estimated charge amount we provide you, may differ based on the exchange rate at the time you make your reservation versus the rate at the time the charge is reflected on your credit card statement.

Airline Rules, Itinerary Changes and Price Changes: Airline tickets available through this Site are subject to the published conditions of carriage and rules, including but not limited to cancellation policies, of the applicable airline. The contract of carriage in use by the applicable airline, when issued, shall be between the applicable airline and the passenger. Airlines retain the right to adjust flight times and schedules at any time - schedule changes can result in an itinerary that falls outside of contractual agreements. Airlines may also in their discretion change or cancel flights or itineraries. Airlines provide us with the price and other information related to these services. Hutchison Travel Limited endeavors to publish and maintain accurate prices and information for its airline services. In the event, however, that a service is listed or provided to us at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or other error in pricing or service information received from an airline, Hutchison Travel Limited and/or the airline retain the right to refuse or cancel any Requests placed for such service, whether or not the order has been confirmed and/or your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your Request is canceled because of incorrect airline information, Hutchison Travel Limited and/or the airline will promptly issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.

Instead, it contracts with a partner airline to fly to that destination. The partner airline is listed as "operated by." In most cases you will check in with your "operating" carrier; however, you should verify your flight check-in location with your ticketing carrier. If your flight is a code share, it will be disclosed to you in the booking process and prior to your payment on a price disclosed, retail airline ticket.
Airline Prohibited PracticesYou agree not to purchase a ticket or tickets containing flight segments that you will not be using, such as a "point- beyond", "hidden-city", or "back-to-back tickets" if those practices are prohibited by the airline(s). You further agree not to purchase a round-trip ticket that you plan to use only for one-way travel if that practice is prohibited by the airline(s). You acknowledge that most airlines prohibit all such tickets, and therefore we do not guarantee that the airline will honor your ticket or tickets if you engage in these practices. You agree to indemnify the Covered Parties against airline claims, on the basis of these or any other prohibited practices, for the difference between the full fare of your actual itinerary and the value of the ticket or tickets that you purchased.

Charges for Taxes and Fees
In connection with facilitating a Merchant Price Disclosed Hotel Service transaction, we will charge your method of payment for taxes and fees. This charge includes an anticipated amount to recover the amount we pay to the hotel in connection with your reservation for taxes owed by the hotel including, without limitation, sales and use tax, occupancy tax, room tax, excise tax, value added tax and/or other similar taxes. In certain locations, the tax amount may also include government imposed service fees or other fees not paid directly to the taxing authorities but required by law to be collected by the hotel. The amount paid to the hotel in connection with your reservation for taxes may vary from the amount we anticipate and include in the charge to you. The balance of the charge for Taxes and Fees is a fee we retain as part of the compensation for our services and to cover the costs of your reservation, including, for example, customer service costs.

We are not a co-vendor associated with the vendor with whom we book or reserve our customer's travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate and the type of applicable taxes vary greatly by location.
For transactions involving Merchant Price Disclosed Hotels located within certain jurisdictions, the charge to your debit or credit card for taxes and fees includes an additional payment of tax that we are required to collect and remit to the jurisdiction for tax owed on amounts we retain as compensation for our services.

Agency Hotel Service
For Hutchison Travel Limited’s Agency Hotel Service, hutchgo.com is not the merchant of record and does not charge your credit card. For these transactions, you will be notified in the Important Information Section of your contract page that your credit card will be used to guarantee the reservation. You will also be told in the Important Information Section that the hotel will charge you directly for room and tax. You will be provided with a "Total Estimated Charges" line item on your contract page that will provide you with an estimate of what the hotel will charge you and you will be notified whether or not that estimate includes taxes. Through the Agency Hotel Service, hutchgo.com (as the case may be), provides an online platform through which hotels (including other types of temporary accommodation) can advertise their rooms for reservation, and through which visitors to the website can make reservations. By making an Agency Hotel Service reservation, you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the hotel at which you book. From the point at which you make your Agency Hotel Service reservation, hutchgo.com (as the case may be), acts solely as an intermediary between you and the hotel, transmitting the details of your reservation to the relevant hotel and sending you a confirmation email for and on behalf of the hotel.
