Belize Yoga reserves the right to substitute an alternate partner resort/tour company of equal or greater quality.

Flights
All flight tickets are purchased in the name of the traveler and are the property of that traveler. The traveler is responsible for any changes they make to their ticket, including rescheduling in case of missed flight. If a traveler cannot attend the retreat, they own their plane ticket and, if applicable, can arrange with the airline to transfer or reschedule their ticket. Depending upon airline policies, Belize Yoga may be able to change the name on a ticket, and will assist in doing so if a traveler must cancel and wishes to transfer their ticket to a different participant.

All group members must travel on flight itineraries as specified by Belize Yoga. Any member of the group that arrives late or leaves the group early is subject to pay for all transportation arrangements in Belize to catch up with the group. Belize Yoga can help arrange for this transportation.

Checked baggage allotments vary by airline. It is the responsibility of the traveler to pay for any checked baggage fees not included in their airline ticket. Belize Yoga will purchase the base flight (including all taxes and fees), but any additions not included on ticket (such as in-flight meals, beverages and check baggage) are payable by the traveler. Belize departure fee of $39.50 is not included in the cost of the flight is is payable at the airport upon departure.
