If it is possible to change the date or time, you will need to pay extra. If you are not willing to accept the cancellation and change rule, please clearly state “I / We do NOT want a discounted air ticket” before you book the package. Otherwise, we will try to arrange the discounted air ticket.

I f you need to know before you arrive, please e-mail us again a few days before your flight, and we will be able to find out the exact departure time.

	2.	During low season, f or the d o m e stic air ticket , there are more discount ticket s available just before the departure date than there are when booked many days in advance. We book tickets as soon as we have received your deposit to guarantee you the ticket, but if it is far in advance, there may only be a small (or no) discount available. Please bear this in mind, as it often happens that you meet other people who paid less for the same ticket.

Please be careful when making plans to allow yourself enough time in Tibet should this happen.
