9. GENERAL MATTERS RELATING TO TOURS  
9.1 Accommodation  
Accommodation is as specified in the tour brochure / itinerary / tour booking form. In the event the specified accommodation is not available, every effort will be made to scout for an alternative in another accommodation of similar standard. Hotel room sizes, facilities and services may vary in different country. Accommodation for adults is based on twin-share, double or triple-share rooms. Different room type might not be on the same level. Single room occupancy comes with an additional cost.
9.1.1 Room size is generally slightly smaller than what you may be used to. Space is precious commodity in Europe and especially in its busiest cities. Many of the buildings will have been in existence for hundreds of years and were not built with the modern traveller in mind. The upside is that they are usually in excellent locations and have a fascinating story to tell.
9.1.2 Bed sizes may also differ. In Europe, King and Queen-sized beds are very rare. Here, double beds are the norm and you may often find that a double room consists of two twin beds pushed together instead of a full bed, made up with one set of linen. You may also find that twin beds will be placed very close together.
9.1.3 A triple room is the same size as a twin-share room. The third bed is always a roll-away bed or sofa bed added into the room. As a result, you may feel that the room is very cramped and small.
9.1.4 Europeans are very socially and environmentally conscious, especially about air-conditioning in Europe. During autumn and winter seasons, the central air-conditioning will be switched off in the hotel rooms. So, do not expect that the air-conditioning will be switched on in the room. You may open the windows to let cold air in, where possible.
9.2 Special Request
If there are any requests regarding special meals, dietary requirements, adjoining rooms, flight seating arrangement and so on, please inform the Company upon booking. However, such requests are strictly subject to confirmation and availability by the airlines/hotels. There are no halal meals on tour.
9.3 Baggage
The Customer is usually allowed check-in baggage not exceeding twenty (20) kilograms. Only one piece of hand-luggage not exceeding seven (7) kilograms is allowed on board the aircraft. Excess baggage charges must be borne by the Customer and are subject to individual airlines’ company policy.
9.4 Meals
9.4.1 Meals, including meals served on flights, are as indicated in the tour brochure / itinerary / tour booking form. In the event where in-flight meals are not served due to whatever reasons, there shall be no refund or replacement. 
9.4.2 You and your travelling companions will generally dine together at a designated time. Table will often vary in size and free seating enables you to dine with family members or new travelling companions each evening. A breakfast buffet is included daily and will reflect the local regions’ tastes and culture. Very occasionally, an early departure may result in a light breakfast box for you to take away if applicable. Lunches are sometimes included but are usually an opportunity for the guest to enjoy some free time to visit a local café, bar or restaurant and eat where the locals do. Your tour manager will be able to provide you with a range of options to suit all tastes and preferences.
9.5 Seat Rotation
For the convenience of all members of the group, passengers may be requested to rotate their seating arrangements on the coach during the period of the tour. Please cooperate when requested to do so by the tour manager / tour leader / guide.   
9.6 Motor-coach
For selected itineraries with Wi-Fi on coach using 3G mobile network, it means that the connection is slower than standard broadband and at times may not be available. It is good for checking emails, web browsing and updating social media accounts, but less so for streaming videos or large photo uploads.
9.7 Single Room Supplement   
Please note that customers paying for single room occupancy supplement charge will be allocated a single room. The single room supplement charge as indicated in the booking form applies. Hotels will try their best to upgrade twin/double room for guests who opt for single room occupancy, but this may not be possible in the event when hotel occupancy rate is high.
9.8    Suggested Excursion
Optional list may be subject to change, depending on the time you are travelling or local circumstances including weather and days of the week. Further information will be provided by your Tour Manager / Guides during the tour.
9.9 Flights
The tour group might be comprised of flights on different airlines, so the Tour Manager may not be on the same flight as the group. If the group is not on the same flight as the Tour Manager, the group will have to proceed to transit on their own. There will be a check-in staff at Singapore Changi Airport to assist the group to check in if the Tour Manager is not flying together.
