You acknowledge these risks and agree that LUMA Travel cannot guarantee complete safety and is not liable for events outside our direct control.
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Our goal is to be fair and transparent. Some parts of your trip are controlled by airlines and partners, so we must follow their rules.
1. Flights and Airline Tickets
Flight tickets and some transport tickets are controlled by the airline or transport company.
Refunds for tickets depend entirely on the flying company’s rules.
- If the airline does not allow refunds → the ticket portion of your tour is non-refundable.
- If the airline allows a partial or full refund → we will request that refund for you.
- Any refund for tickets may be reduced by airline taxes, fees, and commissions retained by the airline or payment processor.
2. Taxes, Fees & Payment Commissions
We can refund services that our partners refund to us. However, taxes, service fees, and card/bank commissions are usually non-refundable unless the airline or provider returns them.
Ticket money, including taxes and fees, is ultimately decided by the flying company and payment providers, not by LUMA Travel.
3. Local Services (Hotels, Tours, Transfers)
For accommodation, transfers, and local tours booked through us:
- We refund all recoverable amounts that partners return to us.
- We do not refund non-refundable hotel or partner fees.
- We may deduct processing costs (bank, card fees, admin costs).
4. Extra Activities and Non-Included Services
We do not refund or cover any payments for extra activities, entertainment, or services not included in your official tour package.
5. Example Cancellation
- Refunds may be issued; however, any flight ticket refund is strictly subject to the airline’s own refund policy and availability of such service.
- Airline taxes, service fees, booking charges, and administrative fees are typically non-refundable in all cases.
- Refund eligibility for land services (accommodation, transportation, tours, etc.) depends on partner policies and may vary based on booking date and cancellation timing.
6. No-Show and Late Arrival
If you do not arrive for your tour (“no-show”) or arrive too late to join, normally no refund is available.
7. How to Request a Refund
To request a cancellation or refund, contact us with your full name, booking details, and reason:
Full name
Tour name / date
Booking reference (if any)
Reason for cancellation
Email: info@lumaborjomi.com
WhatsApp: +995 591 029 925
8. Processing Time
If a refund is approved, it will be processed to the original payment method.
Actual timing depends on banks, card issuers, and payment providers.
9. Payment Processing Errors & Technical Issues
In rare cases where a payment problem occurs — including website errors,
payment gateway issues, processing failures, duplicate charges, or interruptions
during checkout — LUMA Travel will review the case individually.
Depending on the situation, the company reserves the right to:
- issue a full refund, or
- issue a partial refund, or
- decline a refund.
Final decisions are based on:
- confirmation from banks or payment providers
- whether services or tickets have already been booked or paid for
- the nature and cause of the technical issue
LUMA Travel will always aim to resolve such cases fairly and transparently.
