14.1. Amendments by you
14.1.1. If you wish to change your travel arrangements after the issue of your Booking Confirmation, we will do our utmost to make these changes, but it may not always be possible. You can change your booking online through "manage my bookings," "live chat," or by sending us an email.
14.1.2.When making changes, the price of your new travel arrangements will be based on the price that applies on the day you make the change. Please note that there won’t be any reduction in the price you pay, even if your new travel arrangements are cheaper than your original booking.
14.1.3.If your change results in fewer adults and your Service price is based on the number of adults, we will recalculate the total price, and the price per person may increase. This extra price isn’t a termination fee. You will also need to pay the appropriate proportion of the termination fee for the adult who has cancelled.
14.1.4.Some suppliers, such as airlines, can charge a fee for a change and sometimes treat a change as a cancellation. Fees can be up to 100 % of the price.
14.1.5. The Traveller may transfer his contract provided that the transferee meets the same conditions as the transferee for consuming the Travel services (in particular, the same travel services must be used, the same type of Accommodation, the same number of people and passengers, children within the same age range, etc.). In such case, the transferring traveller must inform Inécia Tours by email no later than fifteen (15) days before the start date of the trip, indicating the exact name, surname and address of the transferee and the participants in the travel services, proving that the latter meet the same conditions as the transferring traveller for consuming said travel services. The transferring traveller and the transferee shall be jointly and severally liable to Inécia Tours for the payment of the price of the trip, the transfer costs and, in the case of travel services with transportation, any costs incurred by the airline.
14.1.6. In the event that the Traveller, once the trip has begun, voluntarily requests any modification to the Services included in the contracted Package Travel (e.g. overnight stay, hotel changes or flights), as these are personalised individual Services, the prices of the tourist Services may not correspond to those published in the brochure that led to the contracting of the Package Travel. Carrying out this type of management will entail a minimum cost of 50 euros, in addition to the increase in the change from the collective Service to a personalised individual Service. The Traveller will be responsible, if applicable, for paying the supplements for the changes in transfers to the hotels.
14.2. Amendments by us
14.2.1. Our goal is to give you what we promise, but sometimes things can change. We may revise the price, upward or downward, as long as said revision occurs before 20 days prior to departure and is not significant and not more than 8% of the Package Travel. Furthermore, said review can only be carried out to adjust the amount of the Package Travel to the variations of the following elements:
1. Currency exchange rates, applied to the organized trip.
2. From the price of transportation included in the trip, derived from the cost of fuel or other sources of energy.
3. The fees and taxes relating to certain Package Travel Services, included in the contract price, required by third parties who are not directly involved in the execution of the package trip, such as tourist, landing and boarding fees, taxes and surcharges or disembarkation at ports and airports.
14.2.2. The revised price will be determined taking as reference the equivalent of the currency of the destination country and the prices, fees and taxes applicable on the date of publication of the prospectus. In the case of Package Travel that includes two or more countries, the exchange rate taken as a reference is that of the US dollar on the same date.
14.2.3. Likewise, we may have to make a major change to your Package Travel, such as a change of destination, a change of accommodation to a lower category, a change in flight time by more than 12 hours, or a change of the departure airport. A change in a flight time that we need to make within 24 hours before you are due to fly is not a major change unless the time changes by more than 24 hours.

The User must communicate the decision he or she adopts to the Agency within three days after being notified of the modification.
