payment and other expense information – cont.

Failure to meet deadlines

with no notice and without communicating reasonable cause will result in the information being submitted to the Friends Forever Board of Directors for person/group being dropped from the trip. There is no refund or transfer for the trip deposit. Additionally these are the time line breakdowns for trip responsibilities.

Those that drop between 120 days and 95 days prior to departure are subject to $325.00 in non returnable cost.

Those that drop March 15 and after for June 21, 2016 trip, also March 28 and after for June 28, 2016 trip, and April 2 for the July 5, 2016 trip to departure are subject to own the value of the flight ticket and a $400.00 in non returnable cost.

Those that drop from trip 71 days prior to departure date with no replacement are subject to own the flight ticket(if purchased) and a $500.00 in non returnable cost.

Payments are non-refundable but transferable to another person PRIOR to 45 days of the trip with an additional $175.00 fee if the ticket was under a group booking, only

with the approval of Dr. Muirhead and the MMM Board of Directors. Those who cancel 35 days prior to departure the value of your ticket is zero and there is no flight ticket to refund or transfer.

Please Note since 2008 - within 48 hours of departure day - there is NO replacement allowed for travel and no refunds.

The MMM Board of Directors does not recommend a replacement to fill a person who cancels 30 days prior to the trip. The concern is based on this ministries
observation that last call replacements are not trained and ready to be on this trip.

The person who cancels will possibly own the travel ticket value (except in the case of a AirTran there is no group ticket refund). Other tickets are good for one calendar year on the airline of departure and return for travel value with that airlines.

Therefore, It is recommended by Friends Forever Missions that you have always have a trained standby person as a replacement cancellation, note with the complete application, pastor's reference and liability release forms filled out and ready to be sent Friends Forever Missions on a next day mail notice to our office. No paper application, there is no trip. Starting in 2008, we asked group leaders to communicate with our office and ask for the replacement person in case of an extreme emergency cancellation.

Therefore again, payments are non-refundable and not transferable within 2 days of trip.

Travel and entry into Jamaica: Valid Passport. This is the policy of USA Government and Jamaica Government as of January 7, 2007.
