1. Agreement to Terms
By booking a tour, package, or travel service through Platinum Holidays by Travel Discounters ("Platinum Holidays," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("Client," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you are booking on behalf of other travelers in your party, you represent that you have authority to bind those individuals to these Terms.

2. About Us
Platinum Holidays is a TICO-registered travel agency (Registration No. 50012267) based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We operate under the Travel Industry Council of Ontario, providing consumer protections for your travel investment.

3. Booking & Payment
To confirm a reservation, a deposit is required at the time of booking. Full payment is due by the date specified on your booking confirmation. We accept major credit cards and other payment methods as indicated at the time of booking.
All prices are quoted in the currency stated on your booking confirmation and are subject to change prior to full payment being received.

4. Non-Refundable Bookings
ALL BOOKINGS MADE WITH PLATINUM HOLIDAYS ARE STRICTLY NON-REFUNDABLE
Once a booking is confirmed and payment (deposit or full payment) has been received, no refunds will be issued for any reason, including but not limited to:
  • Voluntary cancellations or changes of mind.
  • Illness, injury, or medical emergencies.
  • Work obligations, visa denials, or personal conflicts.
  • Flight delays or missed connections caused by airlines or third-party carriers.
  • Force majeure events (natural disasters, civil unrest, pandemics, government travel bans, etc.).
  • Any circumstances beyond Platinum Holidays' reasonable control.
Important: We strongly recommend that all clients purchase comprehensive travel insurance at the time of booking to protect against unforeseen events. Platinum Holidays works with reputable travel insurance providers and can assist you in finding appropriate coverage. However, you may also choose any insurer of your choice.

5. Guaranteed Departures
Platinum Holidays guarantees all scheduled departures within our control as the organizing agency. Specifically:
  • Tour departures will proceed as confirmed unless cancelled by Platinum Holidays.
  • We will provide confirmed flight tickets at the time of booking or as soon as they become available from the airline.
  • In the unlikely event that Platinum Holidays must cancel a departure due to circumstances within our control (e.g., insufficient group size or operational reasons), we will offer an alternative departure date or a full refund of monies paid to Platinum Holidays.
Departure Guarantee Exclusions: Our departure guarantee does not extend to cancellations, delays, or interruptions caused by airlines, third-party accommodation providers, local operators, government restrictions, force majeure events, or any other circumstances outside Platinum Holidays' direct operational control. In such cases, our standard non-refundable policy applies, and we will do our best to assist you in pursuing remedies through airlines, insurance, or other applicable channels.

Airline seat assignment: Advance seat selection is subject to airline fees, paid directly to the airline at the time you select your seats.
Please note that airlines reserve the right to change/cancel the pre-selected seats due to schedule changes or Flight equipment change.
Note that there also some airlines that they do not allow advance seat selection.

Checked Baggage Fees: Many airlines have checked baggage fees; once you receive your tickets contact the airline with your airline reservation code for specific charges + terms and conditions.
