Patel Travel Traveler's Guide: Your Journey, Your Information
Travel Information
At Patel Travel, our goal is to ensure your travel experience is not only seamless but also filled with unforgettable moments. Below, you’ll find essential information to help you plan your trip effectively. We’ve curated these details to assist you in making informed decisions for your journey.
Passport: For British and Irish passport holders, we can provide specific guidance. If your passport has endorsements or if you hold passports from other countries, please check with the relevant embassy for accurate information. Ensure your passport remains valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date.
Visas: Clients are responsible for obtaining visas, and requirements can vary. We recommend contacting the respective embassy well in advance for the latest information.
Health: Consult your doctor before departure for recommended vaccinations and health advice. The Department of Health’s ‘The Traveller’s Guide to Health’ (available at 0800 555 777) offers valuable health information for specific destinations.
Safety: Your safety is our priority. We adhere to Foreign Office guidelines. While our featured destinations may have different political and social conditions, we advise vigilance and discretion, particularly regarding personal belongings and attire.
For the latest travel advice, visit Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCO). It provides country-specific information to help you prepare for your journey.
Choosing Your Holiday: Have questions about a destination’s suitability? Contact us for assistance. Additional information can be gathered from libraries, tourist offices, and online resources.
Hotel Standards: Hotel standards can vary. Carefully read hotel descriptions to understand what to expect unless specified otherwise, accommodation is in standard rooms.
Room Specifications: Rooms for three or four guests may have existing beds or extra beds, which can be cozy.
Views: Rooms described as having specific views (e.g., sea, pool, city) may have partial views due to natural obstructions like trees or buildings.
Dress Code: While most hotels have a relaxed dress code, some guidelines apply. Casual elegance is typically expected in resorts, while city hotels may require more formal attire in common areas during the evening.
Check-In & Check-Out: Hotel rooms are generally available after 3 pm on the day of check-in and should be vacated by 11 am to 12 noon on the departure day. Late check-in or check-out may be possible for an additional fee.
Special Requests: Inform us of any special requests during booking. While we’ll pass them on to hotels and airlines, we can’t guarantee fulfillment.
Travel Insurance: We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance. Visit our insurance section for coverage options and prices.
Behavior and Conduct: Travelers are responsible for their behavior and any damage to property. Disruptive or inappropriate conduct may result in termination of arrangements.
Ticket Dispatch and Travel Documents: Tickets are dispatched typically seven days before departure. Ensure you check your flight timings on your tickets carefully.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require further assistance. Your safety, satisfaction, and peace of mind are our utmost priorities at Patel Travel.
