Superbreak Terms & Conditions
The following Booking Conditions form the basis of your contract with Superbreak Mini-Holidays Limited t/as SuperBreak and The Luxury Hotel Collection of Eboracum Way, York, YO31 7RE. Superbreak Mini-Holidays Limited is part of the Cox & Kings group. Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. All bookings are subject to these Booking Conditions. Where we arrange travel arrangements for you the relevant operator's conditions of carriage will apply to your booking. Our contract will apply to the services we provide to you in arranging your flight or other travel arrangements (including agency services) however if there is any conflict between our contract and the operator's conditions of carriage, the operator's conditions of carriage will take priority.
Package Holidays
If you book a package holiday through us, once your package holiday has been confirmed we will accept responsibility for it in accordance with these Booking Conditions as an "organiser" under the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992. A "package holiday" is a combination of at least two out of (a) transport, (b) accommodation or (c) other tourist services (not ancillary to any transport or accommodation and forming a significant part of the arrangements) where booked through us at the same time, for which payment is made to us and which last at least 24 hours or include overnight accommodation.
Group reservations of 10 or more adults or 5 or more rooms are subject to different terms and conditions, a copy of which is available on request.
1. Making your booking
The party leader must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these Booking Conditions by all persons named on the booking and by their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. The party leader is responsible for making all payments due to us. The party leader must be at least 18 when the booking is made. When making a booking, you must pay to us the payments referred to in clause 2 below.
If you book with us on line via a website, at the end of the booking process, you are asked to confirm that you have read and agree with our Booking Conditions. The final page gives you a booking reference which is your confirmation, which we will reconfirm to you if you have provided your email address.
If booking by telephone or any other communication channel, on receipt of your booking and all appropriate payments we will, subject to availability, confirm your holiday by issuing a confirmation invoice to the party leader or travel agent. Please check any documentation carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later.
2. Payment
Full payment is required at the time of booking.
For flight inclusive bookings, all monies paid to any authorised travel agent of ours for your holiday with us will be held on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust subject to the travel agent's obligation to pay such monies to us in accordance with our trading terms unless we fail. In the unlikely event of our financial failure, all monies then held by the travel agent or subsequently paid by you to the travel agent will be held by the agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation on the agent to pay such monies to us.
For holidays which do not include flights arranged by us, all monies you pay to one of our authorised travel agents for your holiday with us will be held by the agent on your behalf until we issue our confirmation invoice. After that point, your agent will hold the monies on our behalf.
3. Your contract
A binding contract between us comes into existence when either we dispatch our confirmation invoice or, for on line bookings, when the final page of the booking confirmation procedure gives you a booking reference. We reserve the right to decline any booking at our discretion. This contract and all matters arising out of it are governed by English law. We both agree that any dispute, claim or other matter which arises out of or in connection with this contract or your holiday will be dealt with by the Courts of England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland as appropriate. Changes to these Booking Conditions will only be valid if agreed by us in writing.
4. The cost of your holiday
There are different ways of confirming the final price of your holiday depending upon whether you book by telephone or online.
By Telephone
We reserve the right to increase or decrease the prices of breaks at any time prior to confirmation. The price of your chosen break will be confirmed at the time of booking.
We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. We will do so as soon as we become aware of the error. Accommodation rates and meals as described in the accommodation entry may not apply over Easter/ Christmas/New Year or certain dates associated with special events.
The prices shown on our website are for guidance only until you enter our secure server, when the rates shown are guaranteed, subject to reasonableness with regard to any rates shown that are clearly incorrect. We reserve the right to cancel bookings where the rate has been loaded incorrectly by either ourselves or our supplier, in this instance we will refund all monies paid to you but will not be liable for any additional costs/compensation. A total price of your chosen break will be given before you confirm your booking which you may accept or not.
Please note, the information and prices shown in brochures may have changed by the time you come to book your holiday. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the brochure and prices at the time of printing, regrettably changes and errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us or your travel agent at the time of booking.
Price Changes
If changes to transportation costs, taxes, dues, fees or exchange rates arise before your departure date, we may pass on differences in cost after you have booked. We will absorb an increase of up to 2% of the cost of your holiday (excluding insurance premiums and amendment fees). However, there will be no price change within 30 days of your departure date.
5. Changes by you
Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed break, you must notify us (by post, telephone or email) as soon as possible. Where changes are possible (see grid below) we reserve the right to apply the amendment fees/cancellation charges shown. Any alteration requested by you within 7 days of departure will be treated as a cancellation by you and you will have to pay the cancellation charges set out in clause 6.Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed break, you must notify us (by post, telephone or email) as soon as possible. Where changes are possible (see grid below) we reserve the right to apply the amendment fees/cancellation charges shown.

6. Cancellation by you
Should you or any member of your party need to cancel your booking once it has been confirmed, the party leader must immediately advise us (by post, telephone or email). Cancellations made directly with the accommodation, transport or ancillary provider will not be effective. The following cancellation charges will be payable. Where the cancellation charge is shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges. Insurance premiums and amendment charges are not refundable or transferable in the event of the person(s) to whom they apply cancelling. We therefore strongly recommend clients are covered by comprehensive insurance. Details of our own policies are below. Where cancellation is possible, any rail tickets you have purchased through us must be returned to us unused and at your expense within 28 days of the date of cancellation before any refund can be given. We recommend that you send the unused tickets to us by a secure postal method as no refund will be given if the unused tickets are not received by us. Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price, number of free places and/ or any concessions agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly. Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges (less any applicable excess) under the terms of your insurance policy. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned.

7. Insurance
We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential. All premiums must be paid at the time of booking, as cover will not be effective until we receive all applicable premiums in full. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs.

8. Changes and cancellation by us
Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors in the brochure/ website and other details both before and after bookings have been confirmed and cancel confirmed bookings and we must reserve the right to do so.
Occasionally, we have to make a "significant change". "Significant changes" include the following changes when made before departure; a change of UK airport, a significant change of your destination, a change of accommodation to that of a lower classification or standard for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of accommodation area for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of departure time by more than 12 hours or a cost increase of more than 10%. If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options:-
- (for significant changes) accepting the changed arrangements or
- purchasing an alternative break from us, of a similar standard to that originally booked if available (subject to you paying any price differential between the two holidays). If the chosen alternative is less expensive than your original one, we will refund the difference.
- cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full and quick refund of all monies you have paid to us.
Please note the above options are not available where any change made is a minor one.
If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will pay you compensation where appropriate and depending on the circumstances and the length of time before your holiday we notify you of the significant change or cancellation, subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable and no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted where we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care. No compensation will be payable and the above options will not be available if (1) we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time) or (2) we have to cancel because the minimum number of bookings necessary for us to operate your holiday has not been reached - in this case we will however, give you at least 7 days' notice.
In all cases, our liability for significant changes and cancellations is limited to offering you the above mentioned options and, where applicable, compensation. We cannot be held liable for the cancellation of a show/event or the non-appearance of any particular cast member in a theatrical performance. If there is a significant change to your booking as a result of one of the aforementioned circumstances, we will firstly provide you with as much notice as possible (unless the significant change has happened on the day of the show/event/activity experience). You can then choose between accepting the change/alternative offered or cancelling the booking, in which case we will refund you in full for any monies paid (this section was previously under 'cancellations by you').
Due to reasons beyond our control it may be necessary to change the transportation carrier from that originally booked at any point prior to departure, this would not be classed as a significant change. Additionally, many airlines offer 'code-shares' whereby they market and sell flights using their own flight numbers however the actual flight is operated by another company, again this is perfectly normal practice and we cannot be held responsible for such circumstances and this would not be classified as a significant change.
9. Force Majeure
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss (as more fully described in clause 10(1) below) as a result of "force majeure". In these Booking Conditions, "force majeure" means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include, whether actual or threatened, war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.
10. Our Liability to you
(1) We promise to make sure that all parts of the break we have agreed to arrange, perform or provide as part of our contract with you are arranged, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. We will accept responsibility if any death, personal injury, failure or deficiency of your arrangements is caused by any failure by ourselves or our employees (providing they were at the time acting within the course of their employment) and (but only if you have booked a package holiday from us), our agents or suppliers (as applicable) to use reasonable skill and care in performing or providing the service in question.
Please note it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim.
We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following:-
- the fault of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or
- the fault of a third party not connected with the provision of your break which we could not have predicted or avoided or
- an event or circumstance which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not have predicted or avoided even after taking all reasonable care (see clause 9)
- the fault of anyone who is not carrying out work for us (generally or in particular) at the time.
In addition, we will not be responsible where you do not enjoy your break or suffer any problems because of a reason you did not tell us about when you booked your break or where any problems you suffer did not result from any breach of our contract or other fault of ourselves or, if you have booked a package holiday from us and we were responsible for them, our suppliers or agents or where any losses, expenses, costs or other sum you have suffered relate to any business.
We cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which your accommodation provider or any other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised in our brochure or on our website and we have not agreed to arrange them.
(2) The promises we make to you about the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract - and the laws and regulations of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred if not the UK - will be used as the basis for deciding whether the services in question had been properly provided. If the particular services which gave rise to the claim or complaint complied with local laws and regulations applicable to those services at the time, the services will be treated as having been properly provided. This will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and regulations of the UK which would have applied had those services been provided in the UK. The exception to this is where the claim or complaint concerns the absence of a safety feature which might lead a reasonable holiday maker to refuse to take the holiday in question.
(3) Where any claim or part of a claim concerns or is based on any travel arrangements (including the process of getting on and off the transport concerned) provided by any air, sea, road or rail carrier or any stay in accommodation which we agree to supply to you as part of our contract, the maximum amount of compensation we will have to pay you will be limited. The most we will have to pay you for that claim or that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier or accommodation provider concerned would have to pay under the international convention which applies to the travel arrangements or accommodation stay in question (copies available on request). Please note: Where a carrier or accommodation provider would not be obliged to make any payment to you under the applicable International Convention or Regulation in respect of a claim or part of a claim, we similarly are not obliged to make a payment to you for that claim or part of the claim. When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport or accommodation provider for the complaint or claim in question.
(4) You must provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require. You must also tell us and the supplier concerned about your claim or complaint as set out in clause 11 below. If asked to do so, you must transfer to us or our insurers any rights you have against the supplier or whoever else is responsible for your claim or complaint (if the person concerned is under 18, their parent or guardian must do so). You must also agree to cooperate fully with us and our insurers if we or our insurers want to enforce any rights which are transferred.
11. Complaints and queries - Help when you need it
We always aim to make sure you're 100% happy with your break. However if your travel experience with us didn't meet your expectations, our Customer Relations team is waiting to help you. If you encounter problems with your break whilst you're away, you must immediately inform the supplier of the service (s) in question. If you would like to contact us whilst on your break please call 01904 420440 or email firstname.lastname@example.com We are here for you between the hours of 08.00am – 10.00pm Monday – Sunday, *Bank holidays may vary. Alternatively, on your return you can call 01904 420440 or email our Customer Relations team at email@example.com.
Delays – In the event of a significant delay to any transportation booked as part of a Superbreak package you should always in the first instance speak with a representative of the transportation provider in order to gain immediate assistance. Policies in relation to compensation/cancellation vary depending on the mode of transport. Should you require specific information in relation to your carrier please contact us by telephone or email. In all cases we advise you to keep proof of delay and any out of pocket expenses in case you are able to make a claim.
12. Behaviour
When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid direct at the time to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party's full legal costs) as a result of your actions.
We expect all clients to have consideration for other people. If in our reasonable opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any other person in authority, you or any member of your party behaves in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to any third party or damage to property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate the holiday of the person(s) concerned. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave the accommodation or other service. We will have no further responsibility toward such person(s) including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.
13. Conditions of suppliers
Many of the services which make up your break are provided by independent suppliers (for example, where applicable, rail carriers, airlines and accommodation owners). Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier's liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions (see clause 10 (3)). Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from the supplier concerned.
14. Special requests and medical problems
If you have any special request, you must advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability.
If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your holiday, please tell us before you confirm your booking so we can assist you in considering the suitability of your booking. In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel when we become aware of these details.
15. Passports, visas and health requirements
You should check the passport, visa and health requirements which are applicable to the country(ies) which you intend to visit. Requirements may change and you must check the up to date position in good time before departure. For British Citizens, information on health is contained in the Department of Health leaflet T6 (Health Advice for Travellers) available from your local Department of Health office and most Post Offices. For European holidays you should obtain a European Health Insurance Card - EHIC (details in leaflet T6 referred to above) prior to departure.
It is the party leader's responsibility to ensure that all members of the party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure. All costs incurred in obtaining such documentation must be paid by you. We regret we cannot accept any liability if you are refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to carry correct documentation. If failure to have any necessary travel or other documents results in fines, surcharges or other financial penalty being imposed on us, you will be responsible for reimbursing us accordingly.
16. Financial security
SuperBreak Mini-Holidays Ltd holds an Air Travel Organiser's Licence issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) (ATOL number 10518). This means the package holidays inclusive of air travel are ATOL protected. We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable).You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk.
For non flight-inclusive package holidays only we hold a bond with ABTA. This arrangement means your money will be refunded or you will be brought back to the UK (where your contracted holiday arrangements include return travel to the UK) if already abroad in the unlikely event of our being unable to provide your break due to our insolvency.
For accommodation only bookings overseas, all customer monies are held in a Trust Account approved by Trading Standards and reviewed by our auditors. This arrangement means your money for this type of booking will be refunded in the unlikely event of our being unable to provide your accommodation due to our insolvency.
Airline failure
Your holiday is protected in the event of failure of your airline. In the unlikely event that the airline that you are travelling with ceases trading during your holiday, you must contact us, in order that we can make alternative arrangements. We will not be liable for any additional costs incurred if you make your own arrangements.
17. Safety standards
Please note, it is the requirements and standards of the country in which any services which make up your holiday are provided which apply to those services and not those of the UK. As a general rule, these requirements and standards will not be the same as the UK and may sometimes be lower.
18. Accommodation Breaks - Minimum stay and meals
Certain breaks / accommodation may require minimum lengths of stay. Where an accommodation provider offers dinner this may be table d'hote, a carvery or may sometimes be in the form of an allowance against the à la carte menu. Some accommodation providers offer continental breakfast only. This normally consists of coffee or tea and bread rolls.
19. Saver Offers
Where an accommodation provider features more than one offer at any one time (including 7 nights for 6), it may not always be possible to combine them - normally the most advantageous offer will be allowed. (7 nights for 6 prices shown do not include single supplements, which are charged in addition where applicable.) All offers are subject to availability (and are not usually available over Easter/Christmas/New Year), and may be withdrawn at any time.
20. Children and Infants
Any policy regarding special rates for children and infants is set out in our brochure or is available on request. However, wherever possible children stay free or at 50% of the adult price and exact prices will be confirmed when booking. Free children rates do not normally include meals which are normally paid direct to the accommodation provider as taken. If you contravene this policy a supplement may be payable to us or to our suppliers directly so that the correct price for the relevant service is paid. At some accommodation children may be charged a flat rate for meals, whether taken or not. Where children only pay 50% of the adult rate, half portions will be served for the meals included in the package price. Certain accommodations may apply restricted access times for children into leisure facilities - please ask for details at the time of booking.
21. Rail Inclusive Breaks
Rail inclusive breaks can be booked on line for most of our UK accommodation. Rail may be booked without accommodation to certain UK airport stations only if you are going onto travel outside of the UK. Please note that you may be asked to produce either your flight tickets or your SuperBreak confirmation by ticket inspectors. Bookings must not be made for travel within 3 working days of booking as tickets are dispatched from our office and cannot be collected at rail stations. Some rail inclusive offers that feature in our brochures cannot be booked on line and you need to call us to add these offers to your booking. Any differences to the booking conditions for rail inclusive breaks noted below are shown on the back of rail tickets - please check before travelling.
- The day on which you travel should coincide with the start of your break. The day of return should coincide with the day you check out of your hotel or your rail ticket may not be valid.
- For journeys to or via London, your rail ticket is not valid on trains scheduled to arrive before 10am Monday-Friday inclusive. This restriction does not apply for journeys started before 2am that day - please inform us if you intend to travel overnight and your ticket can be dated accordingly.
- For rail journeys passing through London, your ticket is valid on London Underground between your arrival and departure stations.
- However, for London breaks or Heathrow Airport stopovers, London Underground travel from your mainline arrival station is not included.
- Your holiday documentation must be carried at all times and shown to a Ticket Inspector on request as our rail fares are only sold in conjunction with accommodation.
- Unless otherwise requested, only one rail ticket is issued per booking and all customers must travel from the same station.
- Rail tickets may not be purchased in association with accommodation bookings for single rooms for one night only Monday to Thursday inclusive.
- You should make your own seat and sleeper reservations direct with your local rail station, unless you are travelling as a group of 10 persons or more, in which case we will, on request, make your seat reservations for you. The fares quoted do not cover any incremental costs of seat reservations or sleeping car facilities.
- Some small stations are closed on Sunday and First Class travel may not be available for the entire journey. Please check before travelling as no refund can be provided where services are not available.
- Your journey may be affected by engineering works. It is your responsibility to check with National Rail Enquiries for dates and details.
- UK rail services do not operate on 25/26 December and rail travel is not available on these dates.
When you contact us to make a booking, we act as agent for all of the Train Operating Companies identified within the brochure. All tickets are issued subject to the normal conditions of the National Conditions of Carriage as published by the British Railway Board on 7 January 1997. Rail tickets are not transferable and are not valid for break of journey. Rail inclusive breaks are offered by SuperBreak Mini-Holidays Limited and NOT by ATOC, Train Operating Companies or the Secretary of State for Transport. The Double Arrows symbol is a trademark owned by the Secretary of State for Transport.
22. Star Ratings
We have awarded our own star ratings which do not necessarily relate to those awarded by other organisations, but are solely designed to help you choose between the various accommodation providers.
23. Facilities and Car Parking
- We provide as much information as possible about each accommodation within the space available but you should check directly with us if you need to clarify any specific accommodation description and in particular, you should note that bedroom photographs are of a room in the accommodation and may not necessarily be the room allocated to you on arrival. It is also important that you check with your chosen accommodation if you require any special services such as babysitting, or if you want a room with sea view, etc. Payment for such services or special requirements should be made directly to the accommodation provider and you therefore need to check these charges with the accommodation provider prior to making your booking.
- Where car parking and leisure facilities are available there may be an additional charge for these services, and leisure facilities may not always be in the same building as your accommodation. Again, you should check with the accommodation provider before making your booking. Please note that car parking may be quite limited at certain accommodation.
- Airport accommodation offering car parking may use additional off-site parking facilities at peak times. Cars are left at owners own risk. We accept no liability for either theft or damage to vehicles parked at accommodation or off-site car parks.
- Please note that upon arrival at your accommodation you may be asked for a credit card imprint or cash deposit to cover any additional expenses incurred during your stay.
24. Privacy Statement
For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998 we, SuperBreak Mini-Holidays Ltd, are a data controller. In order to process your booking, and to ensure the smooth provision to you of the products, services and information you request, we need to collect certain personal details from you. These details will include, where applicable, the names and contact details of party members, credit/debit card or other payment details and special requirements such as those relating to any disability or medical condition which may affect the chosen holiday arrangements and any dietary restrictions which may disclose your religious beliefs. Your details will be used principally to meet your requirements. It may be used and retained by us, our group companies and third party suppliers of travel, accommodation and services for the following purposes: accounting, billing and audit, credit or other payment card verification and anti-fraud screening (which may, for example, involve the use of credit reference agency searches and nominal payment card revalidation checks), immigration and customs control, safety, security, health, administrative and legal purposes, statistical and marketing analysis, systems testing, maintenance and development, customer surveys, customer relations and to help us in any future dealings with you, for example by identifying your requirements and preferences. This may involve sending your data between different countries, including countries outside the European Economic Area, including countries where under their local laws you may have fewer legal rights. We may also share aggregated or anonymised information that does not directly identify you.
Providers of travel may be required by laws in the USA and other countries to give border control agencies access to booking and travel information. Accordingly any information we or third party providers hold about you and your travel arrangements may be disclosed to the customs and immigration authorities of any country in your itinerary. In addition, laws in several countries require providers of travel to collect "Advance Passenger Information" (passport and associated information) for all passengers prior to travel to or from those countries. This information may be provided to the relevant customs and immigration authorities.

by Lou Mancinelli
If you approached Chestnut Hill Veterinary Hospital founder Dr. Sheldon Gerstenfeld about such concepts more than 15 years ago, he might have preferred not to be bothered with such unconventional techniques. He was, after all, educated after a Western, allopathic regiment at the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
But since then, Dr. Gerstenfeld has come to embrace alternative medicine at the CH Veterinary Hospital he founded in 1974 at 903 Bethlehem Pike in Erdenheim, where today he practices what he calls integrative healthcare. (Ed. Note: When asked his age and where he grew up, Dr. Gerstenfeld replied, "With identity theft being rampant, I feel that information is not relevant to the story and should not be included. Where I was born, grew up or my age adds nothing to the story.")
It's a way of serving the health needs of pets — from dogs and cats to rats, gerbils and chinchillas, et al — beyond the limited scope of treating the problem a pet was brought in for in the first place. Dr. Gerstenfeld offers a balance between the traditional "allopathic" approach and the alternative approach of aiding the ailing body.
His introduction to alternative approaches to medicine began 15 years ago. His wife Traudi, a native of Brazil, attended herbal medicine meetings in Switzerland that featured some of the world's prominent herbalists. (Today Traudi is a certified flower essence practitioner for humans and animals.)
"She'd come back and tell me about herbal medicine," said Dr. Gerstenfeld in a recent interview, "and I'd say, 'Don't bother me with that stuff. I went to Penn.'"
But a few months after his wife's trip, while visiting friends in Chester County, Dr. Gerstenfeld jumped into a pond and was bitten by a yellow-jacket. His wife's friend, who was instrumental in orchestrating his wife's journeys to Switzerland, knew the cure. She gathered some plantains from their yard, chewed them up and rubbed the leaves and juice on his sting. According to Dr. Gerstenfeld, the pain went away.
When a few months later his Golden Retriever had a skin inflammation, and his wife boiled black tea and used it to soak the area, quieting the inflammation. The conventional approach would have been maybe a short of cortisone, or the prescription of antibiotics or a cream, according to Dr. Gerstenfeld. The success of the experience inspired him to join the American Holistic Veterinary Association of America.
"We don't want to just patch things up here," said Dr. Gerstenfeld, who has authored eight books, served as contributing editor for Parents Magazine for 21 years, appeared on the Animal Planet, and served as KYW Channel 3's "Ask the Vet" for six years.
"We take the time to look at the animal holistically and not treat just the one thing standing out. Allopathic medicine doesn't have all the answers. Many times using both is rewarding."
In fact, in the fall of 2009, Dr. Gerstenfeld helped Greta, a paralyzed six-year-old Dachshund owned by an area resident, Helen Dickson, walk again through the practice of electro-acupuncture. In less than two weeks, Greta, who was paralyzed for the previous eight months due to a botched surgery for a herniated disk began to wag her tail and lift her hind legs. Now, she can walk of her own accord, although her movements are not what you would call smooth or fluid, and she "comes in for a tune-up once a month."
"Greta was used to chasing other dogs in the backyard," said Dickson, "and then all of a sudden, she became paralyzed. It's a real miracle that Dr. Gerstenfeld has given Greta her life back. He is a lifesaver."
In addition to traditional veterinary medicine, including surgical procedures, dentistry and emergency services, Dr. Gerstenfeld employs a combination of electronic acupuncture, education about proper diet and holistic medicine such as flower essences, vitamins, massages and Chinese medicine.
In the case of Greta, Dr. Gerstenfeld's acupuncture sessions using "very mild electric current seemed to stimulate the nerves to regrow in that area (where the paralysis was). It restored a balance of energy. There are all kinds of energy highways in the body. We put needles in the on and off ramps. A patient may need the treatments a couple times a week, and then it tapers off gradually." (The treatments are about $90 each.)
Many human clients are open to Dr. Gerstenfeld's holistic approach because they are already used to employing proper diet, yoga and herbal supplements in their own lives.
One such individual is Roxborough resident Carolyn Kantor, a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner (a discipline that deals with the balance of the body's energies) whose four-year-old Golden Retriever, Phoebe, developed sensitive kidney issues caused by an umbilical infection at birth. She also has difficulties with her hips that, if not correctly managed, could develop into more serious problems.
Dr. Gerstenfeld has been able to treat Phoebe's health issues with acupuncture, herbs and all-natural supplements like Rhubarb extract and Vitamin C, according to Kantor.
"He reminds me very much of a country vet in a city setting," said Kantor via email. "His willingness to go beyond the quick fix and look beyond the symptoms to the root of the illness through holistic means is very much in line with how I treat my own clients through music therapy and through Jin Shin Jyutsu."
"Phoebe loves everyone there," said Kantor. "She jumps out of the car when I take here there, and she can't wait to get inside."
Treating pets with acupuncture "has its place," said Dr. Gerstenfeld. "It's not like an animal comes in, and you do acupuncture and fix the problem. Acupuncture is one part of looking at what we can do to improve. People have forgotten that everything we need for survival as humans is all around us. All the plants, everything is a gift to us, but we as a society have forgotten. It's something the American Indians knew."
Poison ivy, he explained, provides a poignant example. It grows where the earth is damaged. Contact with its leaves or someone or something carrying the substance of its leaves can cause a skin inflammation, which tends to keep humans away from the area while it restores itself. Yet, the antidote for poison ivy, jewel weed, invariably grows within yards of the potentially painful plant.

A crazy internet rumor picked up steam over the weekend. Whisperings of an Edward Scissorhands remake have been floating around, with everyone's favorite unwashed vampire, Robert Pattinson, in the lead. To which we say, "No."
Clearly these rumors got a big push thanks to the current Eclipse promotion, but how is it possible that people could equate Johnny Depp with R.Patz? This is the silliest thing we've heard of since the fake rumors Eddie Murphy in Batman 3 as the Riddler. Thankfully movie Moviefone is reporting that this is merely a rumor. *Shudders.*

(Reuters) - Chrysler Group LLC is recalling 919,545 Jeep sport utility vehicles from the 2002 to 2004 model years to fix a part that could cause the airbags to inadvertently deploy.
Chrysler is recalling 919,545 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty SUVs from model years 2002 through 2004 because a part in airbag control modules may fail, according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Chrysler.
A failure of that module could cause the front airbags or side curtain airbags to deploy inadvertently while the SUVs are being operated, increasing the risk of injury or accident, according to NHTSA documents.
Of the vehicles recalled, 744,822 were in the United States; 49,430 in Canada; 21,828 in Mexico; and 103,465 outside North America, Chrysler said.
Chrysler said that about half of the recalled vehicles are Grand Cherokee and the other half Liberty.
Chrysler has been controlled since 2009 by Italy's Fiat SpA.
In October 2011, NHTSA opened a preliminary investigation relating to complaints of inadvertent airbag deployments in Liberty SUVs, according to the documents. In January 2012, the probe was upgraded to an engineering analysis to include the Grand Cherokee SUVs.
The probe found 215 cases of inadvertent airbag deployments that resulted in 81 minor injuries involving both SUVs in the United States, according to the documents. There were no crashes found to have been caused by inadvertent airbag deployment.
Chrysler's dealers will install a supplemental jumper harness to the airbag control module at no cost to owners. The recall is expected to begin in January. (Reporting By Ben Klayman and Bernie Woodall in Detroit; Editing by Gerald E. McCormick and Nick Zieminski)

Handihaler is a single dose Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) device. It delivers medicine in the form of dry powder contained in a capsule. Dry Powder Inhalers like Handihaler are easier to use than metered dose inhalers because they don't require hand and breath co-ordination. Handihaler is a breath actuated inhaler that means that one draws the medication from the device using force of one's own breath.
Spiriva Handihaler (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) is a prescription medicine used once each day (a maintenance medicine) to control symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by relaxing your airways and keeping them open. COPD includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema or both. Spiriva HandiHaler consists of a capsule dosage form containing a dry powder formulation of tiotropium intended for oral inhalation only with the HandiHaler device. Each light green, hard gelatin Spiriva capsule contains 18 mcg tiotropium (equivalent to 22.5 mcg tiotropium bromide monohydrate) blended with lactose monohydrate (which may contain milk proteins) as the carrier. The dry powder formulation within the SPIRIVA capsule is intended for oral inhalation only.

Stormy weather: Music to mope by
Music By Cavelight
Ninja Tunes records
Spring is upon us. Unpredictable weather. Flash storms. The signs are all there. Overcast and rainy days just put me in a mood. Not a good or a bad mood– it's more like a fog or a haze that just sits over my disposition making me apathetic and lethargic. I suppose we will be seeing a few more sleepy Sundays like this past one, and I am sure there will be weekdays where it's hard to go to work. So let me put you on to a record that will help you survive the stormy weather by embodying the seasonal melancholy in music.
For those of you unfamiliar, Blockhead is not a new head on the block. He initially got his feet wet doing production for Aesop Rock and Slug of Atmosphere. In January, he released his first solo instrumental album, Insomniac Olympics, on London's Ninja Tunes records. That album, a journey into the soul of trip-hip, was a decent start for him into the world of instrumental music. His most recent effort, Music By Cavelight, is about as close to a classic down-tempo album as one could hope for from someone of his creative ability.
Blockhead has built a reputation for producing sleepy tracks with heavy bass and memorable melodies. His penchant for intricate drum programming and unpredictable loop patterns is attractive to people like me who've outgrown the basic verse/chorus method of song construction. Present here are the brooding strings and sporadic vocal samples that have become his calling card.
In addition to his standard formula, here he's added guitarist Damien Paris and turntablist Omega One on many of the tracks.
The first listen to Music By Cavelight will not reveal anything groundbreaking, but the album is very sublime. After three or four tracks, it sneaks its way into your subconscious. The music lingers so unobtrusively that it could easily become the soundtrack of any lazy day. Every listen becomes more enjoyable (I listened to the album three times on repeat while reading in my living room). Each listen reveals the clever intricacies of the production and the genius with which Blockhead shifts moods throughout the record.
There are no standout tracks here. Each one plays a role in the complete project so that the sum of the parts equals the whole. The whole, for lack of a better term, is intoxicating– not in the sense of alcohol, but more along the lines of valium or a joint. Although the songs take their time developing, they never become stale or tiresome. Blockhead is patient in his composition, showing a maturity in songwriting comparable to DJ Shadow, RJD2, and down-tempo princes Thievery Corporation.
If you're a fan of any of the aforementioned producers, you'll love what Blockhead has done here. If not, don't be afraid to give this one a chance. You may find that I'm right about Music By Cavelight being the perfect music for a rainy day.

Shaw University student tests positive for TB
A Raleigh university student is diagnosed with active tuberculosis, a contagious and potentially fatal bacterial infection.
Shaw University spokeswoman Odessa Hines said Friday the student lives off campus and was diagnosed Monday. The university issued a public statement Friday only after a student gave what Hines described as inaccurate information to the media.
Wake County Health Director Sue Lynn Ledford said a team of nurses responded to the campus Tuesday and performed a skin test used to screen for TB exposure on more than 100 people. About a dozen of those people were referred for further testing.
There were 16 cases of active TB diagnosed in Wake last year. Symptoms include chronic cough, fever and weight loss. Though serious, TB can in most cases be treated successfully with antibiotics.

The doctor's call came just over a year ago. I was lying on my daughter's bed, reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," when my husband brought me the phone. With my 5-year-old tugging at me to continue with the book, I tried to digest the doctor's words: tumor, brain, surgery likely.
The headline on an earlier version of this article began with the phrase "After Cancer Diagnosis." That reference to cancer was incorrect; the author had no such diagnosis.
We decided not to tell anyone -- at least not until we knew more about my prognosis. We were strong people, after all; private, allowing few into our inner circle. We'd find the best treatment and tell everyone once our choices were made.
In the coming days, we tried to proceed with life as usual -- a life that was now filled with daily doctor visits. The news was sometimes promising. Then, just as quickly, our spirits would be dragged down.
Though we didn't admit it to each other, it wasn't long before we realized that we couldn't make it through this alone.
My husband broke first, mentioning the news to another dad at our son's soccer game. That soccer dad contacted the church -- a church we've attended sporadically over the years -- and the wheels of support started spinning. An associate pastor called: "What time can I come see you tomorrow?" she asked. And, before I could think up an excuse, a time was set.
I worried that the associate pastor's visit would be full of prayer and false reassurances. Rather than bow our heads, though, we chatted, talking about schools and kids. My health news was covered briefly, but the visit was light, bordering on cheery.
That night the head minister called. On vacation in Colorado to visit his new grandchild, he was the last person I expected to hear from. "I heard your news," he said. "I just wanted to send you my love." No prayers, no Bible verses, just warm thoughts.
The next day, I went to see my ophthalmologist, a man whom I casually knew from the Little League fields but who had never once mentioned that connection in his office. Yet, during that visit, his professional veil dropped. "Isn't it nice the snow is melting," he said. "We'll be out watching our boys in no time." Then, he drew his chair closer, "You'll be OK. We'll find you the best doctors."
As the weeks passed, I found my mood shifting. While fear of the unknown stayed with me, I started to fill with happiness. There was almost a visible bounce in my step, a welcoming smile on my face.
The calming words of a doctor, the talk with a minister, the call from a neighbor may seem insignificant. Together, though, those tiny actions threw me into a deep pool of love.
My immediate crisis has passed; tests continue, but it could be another year -- perhaps even several years -- before surgery is recommended. Until then, there is a profound peace. We can happily hole up for a weekend with movies, popcorn and warm blankets, assured that when we step outside, we'll be greeted with a swell of community support.

Big Sky Drive-In going digital
Evening shows at the Big Sky Drive-In will become clearer starting in April when the outdoor theater converts to digital.
"You're going to get a better show from us and admission is not going to change," General Manager Lamont Furlow said. "We hope it pays off."
The first screen will switch over at midnight April 17, with all three outdoor screens scheduled to play in digital April 20.
Having talked about the upgrade for the past few years, Furlow said they're finally making the switch knowing the new technology will make a brighter, more focused and clearer picture for the hundreds who camp out in their cars during the double features.
"It will be really gratifying on our end to play these movies in a different process," Furlow said.
For the last several decades, the drive-in has had film canisters delivered containing each new flick. Staff then thread the film through the projector before each night starts and then again during intermission to get the second feature going. Furlow said the projectors and technology were "cutting edge" when he learned about the process as a boy. But, he said, at this point, they're long past out of date.
"The process is so antiquated now," Furlow said.
If the film breaks, which happens at least once a month, a "blip" will occur in the picture. Furlow said it's often not long enough for viewers to notice because about a foot of film could break off and still cut out only a second or so of movie. With digital, though, that won't be an issue.
Credits also should be easy to read as isn't always the case with the old technology, Furlow said. Local advertisers also may have the option in the future of buying time before the movie, which isn't a possibility with the present technology.
Starting in mid-April, films will be delivered on hard drives and then downloaded in real time, Furlow said. To start the double feature each night, staff will simply have to program the projector and lights to turn on and off at a certain time and then leave the technology alone.
Most indoor theaters already have converted to digital systems. At a cost of about a quarter of a million dollars to switch the technology for Midland's three screens, however, Furlow said the process typically is too expensive for "mom and pop" drive-ins to absorb.
The owners of Big-Sky Drive In -- Skeet Noret and Sam Kirkland, out of Lubbock and Lamesa -- had aimed to make Midland's theater the first Texas drive-in to go digital. Since they've been beat by a venture in Ennis, they're now looking to be the first all-digital outdoor theater.
"We've always planned on this," Furlow said.
Furlow's son and manager David is prepping the theater for the transition by laying fiber optic cables and will be on hand when the switch takes place to learn the new format.
Lamont Furlow said the last two years have been slower than is normal for Big Sky Drive-in and they're hoping the change will help draw customers in as well.
Between the lack of blockbuster hits and a writer's strike in 2007-2008, Furlow said crowds have been down from what was typical during previous years.
With the digital format as well as highly-anticipated movies like "Cars 2" and "Transformers 3" coming this summer, he said they're expecting to see business return.
"We've always done very, very well with family-oriented movies," Furlow said.
Leaning back in his chair before going out to thread the film one recent evening, Furlow said he'll never forget the summer night three years ago when an area firework vendor shoot off fireworks from behind the screens after the second film ended.
Cars honked their horns and kids clapped, he said. With the burn bans and dry weather, they haven't felt comfortable bringing back that type of display since. But, he said, they're hoping this transition will produce the same atmosphere of excitement.
"This digital thing is our next fireworks display," he said.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Having celebrated his 30th birthday without once getting a call from the US national team, San Jose Earthquakes forward Alan Gordon was convinced that door was well and truly closed to him. After all, here was a guy with 22 goals in his first eight MLS seasons, coming off surgery last year to repair multiple muscle problems.
That's why it's tough for Gordon to fully describe his reaction to being named as part of Jurgen Klinsmann's 23-man squad in the run-up to the Americans' history-making win against Mexico at the Estadio Azteca last week.
"It was awesome," Gordon said. "I was soaking it in. It's a different level, and it was really special just to be there and see what it's like at the top level -- and know that's an obtainable goal now. If I continue to work hard and do good things, that option's there. It's good to know. It keeps me going, and I'm excited for the future."
WATCH: Gordon's latest MLS goal vs. 'Caps
Gordon's been having plenty of great feelings this season. After a grueling winter and spring spent rehabilitating his surgically repaired abdominal and hip muscles, Gordon has a career-best nine goals -- nearly double his previous single-season high of five goals in 2008 -- in just 823 minutes this year, helping the Quakes to a 14-6-5 record.
It's a rebirth that's tinged with some regret over what might have been for Gordon, who used soccer to turn his life around after battling his share of personal problems.
"I think having kids really changed my whole outlook on life and on soccer and really giving my all," Gordon said. "I don't think that I was reaching my full potential when I was younger. I was maybe not putting in the effort that I should have. I found that late in my career. And I found hard work pays off. It's sad to say it took a long time to do, but I'm just glad it's working."
Having finished a two-game suspension -- one for yellow-card accumulation, another for seeing red in the same match against Chicago on July 28 -- Gordon will step back into the Quakes' starting lineup Saturday against Colorado. That makes life easier for coach Frank Yallop, who had to replace forward Steven Lenhart after he received a red card last weekend in Montreal.
"He's ready to go," Yallop said of Gordon. "He looks sharp. He's having a good season and he's hungry to play."

Writes tipster Derek B., "My buddy got this tattoo Eli giving Peyton a noogie today. He's a huge Giants fan."
"I have more pictures if you'd like to post this. The other tattoos on his ass include ants crawling out of his crack and one that says breauxham, as well as a brand of his fathers initials."
Sounds like an awesome friend, but that won't be necessary, Derek. However, are you willing stake your tipster-reputation on the fact that this ain't some sort of magic-marker hoax?
I can vouch for it 100%. His name is Travis and he's from Queens.
Good luck getting that picture out of your head. Ever. Especially if your neighbor in Queens is a big Giants fan named Travis.
