Flights Coordinated With Your Vacation
With Globus, think of your entire vacation as one-stop shopping. Rather than spending hours researching flights to coordinate with your vacation start and end dates, let us handle the work. And when we book your flights, if there are any changes to your vacation schedule, we make the air changes for you. As a completely independent company, we have no ties to any one airline. We negotiate the lowest possible airfares with the world's finest carriers on your behalf. New for 2012 - Globus offers 2 air options: Flex Air and Instant Purchase Air. Flex Air allows fexibility if you want to make changes to your vacation schedule. Instant Purchase Air may offer additional airline options but has more restrictions.
Low Air-Inclusive Prices & Free Airport Transfers
Regardless which air option you choose, when you book your Globus vacation air-inclusive, the transfer to and from the airport to your start and end hotel is included (on published departure and return dates). This can be a substantial savings and give you peace of mind.
Land-only vacation clients who make their own air arrangements on regularly scheduled direct or nonstop flights (not chartered flights) into terminals may purchase our airport transfer service.
Airport transfers can be arranged when you purchase extra nights before or after the vacation. Transfers cannot be provided when you join late or leave early. Flight information for air purchased separately from Globus will be required at time of booking the extra night transfers and must be provided to Globus prior to final payment.
You can fax (303.703.7060) or mail a photocopy of your air itinerary with arrival and departure flights and dates with your invoice number to the Transfer Department. Flight details should be sent apart from other correspondence. Flight details and payment must be received no later than final payment. Time and terminal limitations are provided.
Transfers will be provided only if confirmed by Globus. Look for confirmation of your transfer in the travel documents.
We Also Accept Your Reservation on a Land-Only Basis
While booking your vacation air-inclusive gives you all the advantages described, you can also choose the land-only option. But remember, airlines’ special fares generally apply to very brief periods. (Our low air-inclusive fares apply throughout the year.) Plus, to get these “deals” you often are required to pay full fare at the time of booking.
Book Early to Get Even Better Prices Than Those Listed
The earlier you book, the better the rates will be, as availability of the best airline rates is at its best. For up-to-the-minute air prices, look online or ask a Travel Consultant.
Any changes and/or revisions to airline flights may affect your air-inclusive price. Various domestic taxes and fees are not included in the vacation price (please see “Applicable Taxes and Fees (Airfare & Charges Not Included in the Price)” section below). These taxes and fees will be added to your air-inclusive invoice as a single per person charge. Taxes and fees are subject to change without notice and will be quoted at time of booking.

How We Select Your Flights
Since seats for our low-cost airfares fill quickly, we urge you to book early. Air-inclusive reservations cannot be made later than 5 days prior to departure. Additional rules may apply. Although we will try, Globus cannot always honor carrier or flight preferences.
Air tickets will be received two to three weeks prior to vacation departure. For any late bookings, tickets are sent overnight after final payment is received. It is advised to contact your air carrier for special service requests, such as seat assignments and special meals, or, if applicable, to advise your frequent flyer number. Please retain your ticket copy in the event you need it later for proof of your flight; we are unable to supply ticket copies after your return.
Please be advised that electronic tickets will be issued for the majority of air itineraries. If you would like to request a paper ticket, a $50 charge per ticket will be assessed at the time of booking.
