You should advise us at the time of booking should any member of your party require assistance at the landing airport. The service available to passengers with disabilities varies from airport to airport, as does the means of transferring wheelchair users into and out of the aircraft. This may involve manual lifting onto airport buses, aircraft steps and aircraft seats. At most airports, this is a well-practiced procedure.
It is the responsibility of clients travelling to ensure they have a valid passport for the duration of the holiday. You should also check Visa requirements, as these may be necessary for passport holders of certain Nationalities. Accessible Italian Holiday cannot be held responsible for the canceling of any holiday as a consequence of incorrect or invalid documentation. No refunds will be given in such circumstances.

You should advise us at the time of booking should you, or any of your party require special diets in-flight. It is possible to arrange special diets at resort.
To cover incidental expenses during your stay, most hotels will debit your credit card or ask for a cash deposit if you do not have one; please take this into account when planning your holiday finances. On arrival, your room is normally available between noon and 3pm. On the day of departure you will usually be asked to check-out between 10am and noon, but the hotels will store baggage until departure.
