OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES offers a variety of travel related products from different Suppliers and service providers ("Suppliers"). Each Supplier has its own terms and conditions that are applicable to your particular arrangements in addition to our general terms and conditions, and you should make sure you understand them. Our website, which is referred throughout this Agreement, can be found at https://luxelevelescapes.com/.
LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES does not operate, control, or otherwise provide the services of the independent travel vendors. Hence, customer agrees that LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES is acting as intermediary or a "Booking Agent" for products and services that are not directly supplied by us (e.g., air carriage and ground transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, tours, cruises, etc.). We are not a co-vendor of such products and services. You will be entering into a separate contract with such Suppliers in connection with such products and services.
Any disability requiring special attention must be reported to LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES at the time the reservation is made. LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES will make reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of travelers, but are not responsible in the event it is unable to do so nor is it responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers.
LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES shall never be held responsible for any loss, accident, injury, delay, defect, omission, or irregularity which may occur or be occasioned, whether by reason of any accident, negligence, closing or default of any independent company or persona engaged in or responsible for carrying out any of the arrangements or otherwise in connection therewith. It is highly recommended that Customers purchase a travel protection plan.
SUPPLIER QUOTES AND PRICING
Availability and price quotes are applicable to the date and time at which they are requested and cannot be guaranteed until payment is made in full. LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES will ensure client receives quotes, deadlines, deposit, refund, and cancellation details within a timely manner to make financially prudent travel decisions.
Upon booking, we will provide you with instructions of payments and all due dates. You must make all payments in full and on time. Failure to make a payment may result in the cancellation of your travel. In such a case this would be considered a cancellation by you and the cancellation terms and fees as described below would be in effect.
LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES will notify client of the supplier’s refund, change and/or cancellation fees and penalties during the proposal phase. Client is aware that the airline ticket, especially holiday, group and discounted fares may be subject to the loss of some or all of the fare or require expenditure of additional money if client elects to change or cancel the reservation.
LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES will make every effort to request that suppliers honor and uphold price as originally quoted; however, under certain circumstances additional costs by a supplier or government may be imposed due to an increase in cost for one or more of the travel components, which is the responsibility of the customer.
If travel is outside of the U.S., some components of the quotes are from foreign suppliers. Customers must note that currency fluctuates daily with exchange rates, and international payments may carry a foreign traction fee, which is the responsibility of the customer.
Flight confirmation is subject to availability and prices are subject to change after the date of quote or deposit, including price increases in the fee for a seat assignment, fee for baggage, applicable fuel surcharges and/or an increase in government-imposed fee(s) or tax(es). LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES does not own, control, manage or operate any airline and your agreement as to any flight will be with the Air Carrier. We do not control any special requests made with airlines. You should read and understand the Air Carriers’ terms and conditions.

TRAVEL PLANNING FEES
Any applicable planning or service fees will be fully disclosed prior to starting your travel planning journey with LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES. All Service Fees and Planning Fees charged by LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES are non-refundable and are separate from the cost of your trip and may be split between multiple travelers.
Our planning fee is integral to covering the time spent researching, pricing, compiling, and organizing your booking. If your trip is not finalized and deposited within 30 days, we must treat it as a new booking, which incurs a fresh planning fee. This is necessary due to the need for re-pricing and reorganizing your trip based on current availability. Additionally, should the scope of your trip change significantly, a higher planning fee may apply to accommodate the additional work required before more work can continue.
Below is a guideline, but yield to the specific amount in your agency agreement you sign and the planning charge invoice.
DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS
A deposit, as indicated in your quote, along with a completed client profile form is required for all new reservations with LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES. All payments made towards the elected trip are non-refundable and non-transferable. Please be sure your calendar is free and you are able to take your planned LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES prior to submitting a deposit.
Final payment dates are clearly noted on the invoice and/or website of the event you have selected as well as listed in your monthly statements. All late payments will be assessed a late fee of $50. You must contact LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES prior to final payment if there will be a delay in making the final payment. You must send your request by email and provide the date that the final payment will be made. Permission to make a late final payment is at the sole discretion of LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES.
If you fail to make your final payment by the final payment date and have not received authorization to make a late final payment, your reservation will automatically cancel and all previous payments will be forfeited.
As we are acting as your Booking Agent, any supplemental increases in price due to fuel costs, taxes, fees, and currency exchange rates will be borne solely by the consumer and thus we will pass on any such increase to you as we become aware of such increase. Subsequently, you are not guaranteed a lower price if at any time prior to your travel the price decreases.
DOCUMENTATION
Our general practice is to send documents to our customers electronically whenever possible. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee should you make a request for such documents to be sent as a hard copy.
CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS
While LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES and or travel vendors accept major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, all travelers are required to complete an online credit card authorization form for every transaction for your trip. No payments will be processed unless the form is completed. Your authorization is an agreement for us to charge your card and an acknowledgement and agreement to these terms and conditions including the cancellation terms. As such you agree not to make any improper chargebacks. Payments are only accepted online.
In certain cases, you may dispute charges with credit card companies (“chargebacks”). Before initiating a chargeback, we ask you first to call us to discuss any questions or concerns about our charges. We will work with you in attempting to resolve your concerns. By using our service to make a reservation, you accept and agree to our cancellation policy. LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES retains the right to dispute any chargeback that is improper and recover any costs, including attorney’s fees related to improper chargebacks. Additionally, in the event of an improper chargeback, we retain the right to cancel any travel reservation related to that improper chargeback. The following chargeback scenarios are improper, and we retain the right to investigate and rebut any such chargeback claims:
- Chargebacks resulting from non-cancellable reservations, whether or not the reservation is used.
- Chargebacks resulting from charges authorized by family, friends, associates or other third parties with direct access to your credit card. This does not include credit card fraud.
- Chargebacks arising from inconsistency or inaccuracy with regard to the supplier’s product description.
- Chargebacks resulting from force majeure or other circumstances that are beyond the control of LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES or the travel vendor.
- Chargebacks resulting because you do not agree with the cancellation policy.
CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS
Your agreement with your Suppliers may grant them the authority to cancel or modify bookings. Suppliers retain the right to adjust prices to accommodate rising expenses, including fuel surcharges, tariffs, taxes, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
If we are your Booking Agent, we commit to promptly informing you of any significant alterations as soon as we become aware of them, provided there is sufficient time before your departure. However, we assume no responsibility for any resulting changes or expenses incurred. Subject to the terms and conditions set by the Supplier, you will then have the option to accept the revised arrangements, consider an alternative travel proposal if one is offered by the Supplier, or cancel your existing arrangements and potentially receive applicable refunds. We cannot guarantee the availability of refunds in all cases.
Once purchased, air transaction prices will not increase, except for potential charges that result from government-imposed taxes or fees. You consent to pay for such changes and authorize LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES to charge your credit card for such additional amount, albeit rare.
If you have booked a flight and we are alerted to a significant schedule change by your airline before you leave the United States, we will contact you by email to advise you of this. Please ensure that you have given your contact email address to us and that you regularly check for messages before you leave. We have no control over airline schedule changes and accept no liability for costs which may arise as a result of such changes.
If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel protection plan you may be able to reclaim these charges, for this reason we strongly encourage the purchase of a travel protection plan including additional cancel for any reason coverage.

Flights must be taken in the sequence they appear on your ticket or e-ticket confirmation. If you plan not to take a flight as booked, please contact the airline as far in advance as possible to discuss your options.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING AIRLINE RESERVATIONS
If you arrive at an airline ticket or passenger check-in counter with your confirmed ticket and find that the airline shows no reservation for you – do not leave the counter. Check your ticket. If the status box shows "OK" for the flight in question, the airline policies typically require them to accommodate you on that flight, or if that is not possible, they must either find you a substitute flight or pay you denied boarding compensation. If necessary ask to speak to a supervisor.
IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT
If you have a problem during your vacation, please inform the relevant supplier (e.g. your hotel) immediately. Should they be unable to resolve the matter, please immediately contact us using the contact information you were provided upon booking. If you fail to contact LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES in a timely manner, we will not be permitted the opportunity to investigate your complaint and attempt to rectify any error while you are away, and this may affect your rights under this Agreement.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND DESTINATIONS
It is your responsibility to ensure that all of the details on your travel documents are correct and to bring to our attention any errors or discrepancies within 24 hours of booking. Your travel documents are valuable and should be safeguarded as if they were cash. It is not always possible to replace travel documents in the case of loss, theft, damage, etc.
Prior to booking international travel, we recommend that you review any U.S. Government’s prohibitions, warnings and advisories applicable to your destinations, you can find that information by going to https://www.travel.state.gov. By offering travel to any particular destination, we do not represent that travel to such destination is safe or without risk.
LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES urges customers to remain informed on a daily basis as to current news, as well as to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the United States Government prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found at http://www.state.gov and http://www.cdc.gov. In addition, you should consult with government websites to ensure that you are in compliance with all requirements for admittance into that country, including COVID- 19 requirements, as well as understanding local laws that govern travel within a country, such as vaccinations, medical tests and tracking. Should you choose to travel to a country that has been issued a travel warning or advisory, LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES will not be liable for damages or losses that result from travel to such destinations.
Each foreign country holds different views of past criminal offenses – if you have a current or past offense, please contact that country directly for entry and exit requirements. Travelers with DWI or DUI records should check whether current rules exclude admission to foreign destinations. As an example, Canada often denies entry to travelers with a DUI conviction. These requirements remain the traveler’s responsibility due to the private nature of criminal records. For further information, please visit the U.S. State Department website at travel.state.gov.
PASSPORT, VISA AND IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENTS
Ensuring compliance with the passport, visa, and other immigration requirements relevant to your itinerary is your responsibility. We advise you to verify these requirements directly with the appropriate embassies and/or consulates. LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES bears no responsibility if you are unable to travel due to failure to comply with any such requirements.
Clients are required to send Passport or State Issued ID copies for all travelers to confirm reservations. We keep these copies in an electronically secure space to utilize for booking purposes and to mitigate unforeseen issues that may arise during international travel. LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES strongly urges all clients to purchase travel insurance in the unlikely event of travel delays, illness, or injury.
The client must provide correct legal names and dates of birth that match identification to be used for travel (i.e., Passports/ Driver’s License) to LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES. Name changes are not permitted on airline tickets in any circumstance. Clients are responsible for providing accurate information to LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES via the Passenger Travel Profile Form. LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES is not responsible for costs incurred by incorrect information provided by client for travel planning including reservations and airline tickets. Please double check that we have all information correct prior to authorizing booking to commence.
Travel documents, including passports, visas, and health/vaccination certificates required are your responsibility. The name, gender and date of birth must match the information listed on the airline ticket(s) and booking records.
Beginning May 7, 2025, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, state-issued enhanced driver’s license, or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States. This is the responsibility of the traveler.
Valid passports are required for all international destinations (outside of the United States) and the expiration date should be at least six (6) months following the return date of your trip. Some countries require that your passport have two to four blank visa/stamp pages. Some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement isn’t met.
Important Note – Passport Books vs Passport Cards: While passport books and passport cards are both government-issued forms of ID that allow you to travel internationally, they have significant differences. The most important difference is that passport books are accepted for all forms of international travel to all international destinations, whereas passport cards are only acceptable for land and sea transportation to Canada, Mexico, Caribbean countries, and Bermuda. This means if you're flying internationally, no matter the destination, you need a passport book.
Where visa and vaccinations records are required, please note that even when a visa is issued, a traveler may be denied entry since each country’s local immigration officials make the final entry decision. Several factors including past criminal record may contribute to the decision of the local immigration officials (s). Should a visa not be issued, LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES is not responsible for lost payments made toward contemplated trip. However, LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES will make effort to assist with re-routing the client.
Whether traveling domestically or internationally, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry at least two forms of acceptable identification in order to board a flight.
Visit the DHS website: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification for updates on what to expect during your security screening; what you can bring in your carryon, etc.
Visit the State Department website: www.travel.stat.gov for visa, passport support, and destination safety and health hazard notifications.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
It is the customer’s responsibility to protect their purchases. For this reason, Travel Protection Coverage including additional cancel for any reason coverage is strongly recommended. Such plan should cover Trip Cancellation or Interruption, Medical Expense, Emergency Evacuation/Repatriation, and Baggage. Travel protection plans can help protect you in the event of loss of non-refundable trip deposits and payments that result from cancellation or trip interruption (due to a covered reason such as injury or illness before or during the trip). It also helps with reimbursement for medical emergency costs (including very costly medical evacuation costs), missed connections and baggage loss. Travel Protection Plans including cancel for any reason coverage must be purchased in close conjunction with your travel purchase.
LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel insurance plans. LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured’s existing insurance coverage. We are able to arrange travel insurance for you, and furnish a quote.

Certain countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical insurance on entry. LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES cannot be held responsible for denied entry if a customer is unable to provide details to authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason. Declining to purchase an adequate travel protection plan could result in the loss of your travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. You also acknowledge that without this coverage, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred. If you choose to travel without adequate coverage, we will not be liable for any of your losses howsoever arising, for which trip protection plan coverage would otherwise have been available. If this protection is declined, a signed liability release waiver form will be required.

If you are pregnant or expecting at or around the time of your planned travels, please inform us prior to booking. Some Suppliers will not permit travel past certain gestational periods for your safety and the safety of your child(ren). If you become pregnant after booking with us, please consult with a doctor and review the Supplier terms and conditions as they relate to your booking to determine whether you will be permitted or prevented from traveling. If you are denied boarding, embarkation, or access to a Supplier due to a pregnancy, LUXE LEVEL ESCAPES shall not be liable for any losses, expenses, or refunds resulting from such loss in access for you or anyone in your group.
