STS PRE-DEPARTURE TRIP CANCELLATION BENEFIT

The STS Pre-Departure Trip Cancellation Benefit provides you the right to cancel your trip for any reason up until 2 hours prior to scheduled departure time except for “no shows” and “no show” related cancellations (“no shows” include passengers who arrive at the airport or gate too late to travel or who fail to have the required proof of citizenship). Simply call 1-800-648-4849 no later than two hours prior to your scheduled departure for Air/Hotel Packages (see below for additional details regarding how to file your claim). Your Benefit is effective once your travel package and the STS Travel Protection Plan are paid in full.

The following non-refundable costs, charges, exclusions, and deductions apply to your cancellation:

  • The price of the STS Travel Protection Plan.
  • Non-refundable air tickets is excluded. However, if your cancellation notification is received at least 48 hours prior to the departure date, unused air tickets may be eligible for credit toward a future booking on the same air carrier for the cost of the airline imposed re-ticketing fee. PLEASE NOTE: Eligibility for credit toward a future booking is dependent on air carrier policy and not all unused air tickets will be eligible. In the event air is booked on a STS Public Charter, a voucher will be issued on the amount of the airfare valid for any travel booked through STS for 1 year from Cancellation date and subject to a $50 rebooking fee. PLEASE NOTE: Eligibility for credit toward a future booking is dependent on air carrier policy and not all unused air tickets will be eligible.
  • Occupancy surcharges. Occupancy surcharges may result if the number of individuals occupying a room changes. For cancellations 30 or more days prior to scheduled departure, the remaining travelers are responsible for paying occupancy surcharges. For cancellations made less than 30 days prior to scheduled departure date, occupancy surcharges for the remaining travelers will be deducted from your refund.
  • Miscellaneous fees and charges. Any fees or charges not directly related to your travel package such as reinstatement fees, change fees, etc.

Failure to contact STS will forfeit your plan reimbursement. Refunds for cancellations will be made in the same form as the original payment and will be reduced by the items outlined above.
