The Fine Print: Deposit of $200.00 is non refundable. The round trip cost of transportation to JFK in not included. Single supplement $629.00 per person. Single supplement is not an extra cost. This is because the room cost is divided between 2 persons on the double rate. All pricing that includes airfare now includes air fuel surcharges per U.S. D.O.T Regulations. Air taxes are additional. In the past fuel surcharges were paid with final payment and were collected along with the taxes, now the fuel surcharge is collected as part of the package price. Bottom line is the same. You are not paying more now, you did not pay less before! Prices quoted do include fuel surcharges, but do not include airport fees or airline taxes.
