Special Circumstances: If the passenger or the passenger’s immediate family (parents, siblings) passes away prior to tour departure, Super Value Tours will inquire a penalty waiver from the airline with the provided death or doctor’s certificate. If the particular airline authorizes such a waiver for the ticket penalty, Super Value Tours will only collect the hotel penalty fee and a $50 processing fee per passenger. If the airline denies such a waiver, in a case by case situation, Super Value Tours may convert the customer’s payment of the land portion into a nonrefundable credit that will remain redeemable for up to one year.
