Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?

Airfare from your point of origin to and from the trip is not included in the land price.

Some of the information in my travel documents were just wrong. Air Lingus lost my luggage today (flying London to Dublin to Orlando) Three nights we slept in hotels that were HOT and no air-conditioning. Our Tour Guide was a snobby Brit who intimidated our group.
