I love to travel whether in the United States or abroad. I have planned my own trips and I have used travel agents. I have found it best using a travel agent who takes the worry and stress out of planning and booking. It is also a high priority for me to trust the travel agent to find the best deals, places to travel and is efficient. Amber Johnson is such an agent. She is a well-traveled, knowledgeable agent you can trust. I highly recommend her.

Air and Marine Operations and Border Patrol Agents work together to rescue wounded undocumented migrants

TUCSON, Ariz.-  U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Air and Marine Operations (AMO) aircrews and U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents partnered to rescue undocumented non-citizens who had crossed into the United States after receiving gunshot wounds in Mexico on August 2, 2024.

Tucson Air Branch UH-60 and two H125 aircrews responded to a 911 call indicating undocumented non-citizens had been shot on the Mexican side of the border and had crossed into the United States near Papago Farms in Arizona. The UH-60 crew diverted from its patrol and inserted a U.S. Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue (BORSTAR) team who triaged the individuals.

The BORSTAR agents determined two people were in critical condition and required advanced medical care. One H125 aircrew conducted aerial overwatch while the other H125 aircrew coordinated civilian medical transport.

Upon learning that civilian aeromedical emergency medical service evacuation would be delayed, the UH-60 aircrew transferred the two critically wounded individuals directly to a medical center.

“Our crews are trained to respond to emergency situations,” stated Jose Muriente, Deputy Director of Air and Marine Operations, Tucson Air Branch. “The quick response and expertise of our aircrews and BORSTAR agents are crucial, especially when they encounter individuals with severe, life-threatening injuries.”

BORSTAR agents determined one of the men was uninjured, and another had a superficial gunshot wound to the arm. Border Patrol agents apprehended and processed the two undocumented migrants.

"Tucson Sector BORSTAR's continued partnership with the Tucson Air Branch allows us to rapidly respond to critical and time sensitive situations like this and action them appropriately with the most qualified personnel".

BORSTAR is the only national law enforcement Search and Rescue entity with the capability to conduct tactical medical or search and rescue operations and training for federal, state, local and international government agencies. BORSTAR agents acquire specialty certifications which require extensive and recurring training requirements to maintain proficiency. 

AMO safeguards our nation by anticipating and confronting security threats through our aviation and maritime law enforcement expertise, innovative capabilities, and partnerships at the border and beyond. With approximately 1,800 federal agents and mission support personnel, over 200 aircraft and 300 marine vessels operating throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands, AMO serves as the nation’s experts in airborne and maritime law enforcement.

In Fiscal Year 2023, AMO enforcement actions resulted in 1,004 arrests and 89,909 apprehensions of undocumented individuals, as well as the seizure or disruption of 256,883 pounds of cocaine, 2,049 pounds of fentanyl, 4,050 pounds of methamphetamine, 2,200 weapons, and $15.3 million.

For more information about CBP, visit:  CBP.gov ,  Flickr ,  DVIDS , or follow us on X , Instagram, and Facebook .

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is America's frontline: the nation's largest law enforcement organization and the world's first unified border management agency. The 65,000+ men and women of CBP protect America on the ground, in the air, and on the seas. We facilitate safe, lawful travel and trade and ensure our country's economic prosperity. We enhance the nation's security through innovation, intelligence, collaboration, and trust.

Can I make my booking online?

Yes, you can redeem and manage your Travel Together Ticket online. Simply log in to to your Executive Club account using your membership number and pin.

The voucher will be issued in the name of the main cardmember, regardless of who spends the most on the card.

Is it possible to allow someone else to use my voucher?

The person whose name is on the voucher must make the booking. The reward flight made using Avios must also be in the same name, although the additional ticket can be for your chosen companion.

Does my British Airways Executive Club account need to be registered in the US?

No, you can redeem your Chase Travel Together Ticket no matter where your Executive club account is registered.

7 things to know prior to coming to Chechnya (even if you don’t go)

1) Is it safe to go to Chechnya ?

Yes , it is. But remember that this is a conservative region with an Islamic population. You can’t misbehave as if on some island getaway - drunken brawls and outbursts are simply unacceptable.

Local police officers will always be polite to you, but they won’t hesitate to twist your arm behind your back and slap on the handcuffs if you overstep the line. They can also be pretty quick to reach for their guns. In Chechnya, the police are armed with AKs and handguns and they know how to use them: For years the region was ravaged by war as terrorists and Russia went head to head.

So it’s a trade-off: No college-like drunken parties in exchange for total safety. Anyway, alcohol is banned.

2) How to get to there?

There are two ways to get there. You can take a direct flight from Moscow to Grozny from Vnukovo Airport, and planes fly there and back twice a day.  

Or you can fill up the car with fuel and embark on a road trip. Grozny is 1,850 km south of Moscow and unlike much of the country, the route is paved with new roads. The trip will take you through cities like Voronezh and Rostov-on-Don, and you’ll also see provincial Russia in all its glory.

3) How to communicate with the locals ?

Residents of the region, which was a war zone only a decade ago, are sociable and curious people. They don’t get to see a lot of tourists as people are still afraid to visit due to Chechnya's history - but the locals really are very welcoming.

One small warning: If you get to know a family, you should never reject their offer to come for dinner. If you can’t go right away, schedule it for another day. Otherwise, they’ll feel offended and any friendship could be ruined.

People are extremely eager to show how much their world has changed since the war, which can result in sometimes excessive demonstrations of hospitality. Our advice, just enjoy the ride.

As a region with a dominantly Islamic population, Chechnya has some specific rules for clothes. A girl in should never expose her bare legs and arms.

As for the men, keep one thing in mind; No shorts or fancy T-shirts.

5) Where to go and what to see

You won’t find any booze, pot, or anything of that kind in Chechnya. Not even cigarettes or hookah. Such things can’t be found even in fancy hotels and restaurants – again, because of Muslim traditions. Having no other options, locals tend to lead a healthy lifestyle and enjoy sports, culture, guns and traveling.

Sports are sacred for them as they traditionally see their mountain region as the homeland of warriors. Every man in Chechnya has tried his hand at martial arts at least once in his life. The first thing our guide showed me was his son wrestling in a local Judo tournament. The venue for this event - a dilapidated sports gym with frayed walls - was swarming with people. Locals enjoy watching sports and there are a number of big arenas recently built for such events. The most impressive is the Ahmat Arena.

If you enjoy cultural events then head to the Center Theater and the largest mosque of the region - The Heart of Chechnya. Both are situated in Grozny.

You’ll love Chechnya if you’re a gun enthusiast. The region’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov personally oversees the ongoing construction of the Russian University of Spetsnaz . It’s situated 33 km outside of Grozny near the city of Gudermes.

Some parts of the center are under construction but the shooting ranges are open, where you can literally shoot anything you want from pistols to heavy machine guns and grenade launchers (yes, you read it right). In 2020, once construction is complete, you’ll be able to go underwater shooting and even defuse mines (if you are crazy).

Besides shooting and blowing things up, I would recommend going on a hike. If you’re into camping, walking through forests, and mountaineering, this is the place to go. Start in Grozny and travel in any direction you like - the countryside is stunning.

You won’t find any pork here. That’s for sure.

Try the local shashlik and kebab, especially the mutton . There are numerous cafes serving local cuisine and any local taxi driver will get you to whichever joint in 20 minutes max - Grozny is a small city compared to Moscow.

7) What else should you know before going to Chechnya

Exchange dollars (or whatever currency you have) for rubles prior to traveling there - doing this will save you time as you don’t want the hassle of having to look for a local bank in Chechnya to change money.

You’ll also need cash as you won’t be able to pay with your credit card (except in big fancy restaurants and hotels where you won’t be spending time if you wish to get stuck into the local culture).

You should not also avoid conversing with the local girls as you might in another big city. Different rules apply here, trust us, don’t make any moves.

But my main advice to you would be to remain open-minded and outgoing. Chechnya turned out to be totally different from what I’ve seen on the TV or horror stories I’d heard from friends. Chechnya is definitely a place to go.

To avoid doubt, your contract for the holiday letting will be with the Owner.  Your responsibility to check the Booking Confirmation:  Please check all the details in your Booking Confirmation promptly after receiving the Booking Confirmation and notify us as soon as possible, and in all cases within 24 hours of receipt of your Booking Confirmation, if you think there are any mistakes or errors with your Booking. If you notice that it is you who have made a mistake, we may be able to amend your Booking but you could incur additional costs. If we have made a mistake with your Booking or it contains any errors, which are our fault, you will need to contact us with 24 hours of receipt of your Booking Confirmation to confirm your correct Booking Details to us so we can then reissue your Booking Confirmation. You will not incur any additional costs for this. 7. Property allocation  — Whilst every effort will be made to respect requests for particular residences, the Agent reserves the right to reallocate residences as necessary. 8. Late payment  — the Agent (on behalf of the Owner), reserves the right to re-let any holiday where any monies due are more than 14 days in arrears, whereupon any monies paid by you over and above 30% of the total reservation value will be refunded. However, if the Agent cannot re-let the holiday, you will remain liable for the outstanding balance of the holiday cost.  9. Unavailability  — In the unlikely event that either the Owner or the Agent (on behalf of the Owner) has to change or cancel your reservation, the Owner/ the Agent reserves the right to do so. However, you have the right to: • accept the changed arrangements as notified; • make alternative arrangements with the Agent; Neither the Agent nor the Owner shall have any further liability to you for any changes to the cancellation of your booking, including those arising from an event outside of the Agent’s/the Owner’s reasonable control. 10. Booking Cancellation and Amendment:

Please note Together Travel acts as an agent on behalf of the property owner(s). All cancellations by the Client must be confirmed in writing and notified to the Agent by phone. Please ensure acknowledgement of cancellation is received as this will be required for any relevant insurance & is confirmation that the request to cancel has been received & confirmed by the Agent. Cancellation Insurance for all bookings is strongly recommended. Should a cancellation occur more than eight weeks before the arrival date, any payment received will be refunded less the deposit of 30% of the total cost of the booking. Should a cancellation occur more than six weeks but less than eight weeks before the arrival date, any payment received will be refunded less than 50% of the total cost of the booking. Should a cancellation occur more than four weeks but less than six weeks before the arrival date, any payment received will be refunded less than 75% of the total cost of the booking. There shall be no refund if a cancellation occurs less than four weeks before arrival. Please note that all cancellations automatically forfeit the Booking fee, which is retained to cover transaction fees.

Booking amendment — If you want to change any detail of your confirmed booking, you must notify us via your online account or by calling us as soon as possible, and we will do our best to arrange the changes. You will be charged an amendment fee of £25.00 for bookings to locations within the UK. Changes can only be accepted with the Owner’s agreement. We cannot guarantee that the Owner concerned will be able to meet your request. Bookings can be altered, subject to availability, up to 8 weeks before departure, after which the cancellation policy binds you. Amended bookings are non-transferable; amending to a different property than initially booked will result in a loss of deposit. Any increase in price for your chosen dates would be applicable. Please note separate cancellation policies exist for properties within the Ark portfolio for whom we are a non-exclusive agent.

12. Your Obligations  a) You must:  i. Keep the Property and all furniture, fittings and contents in the same state of repair and condition as at the start of the holiday;  ii. not do, or permit any Guest to do, anything that is likely to make an insurance policy on the Property void or voidable or to increase the premium; iii. not do or permit your Guests to do anything that could reasonably be considered to cause nuisance or annoyance to the Owner or the occupier or any neighbouring properties; and iv. report all damage, breakages or equipment failure in the Property or its contents to the Agent as soon as is reasonably practicable.  13. Damage to the Property a) If you report to the Agent any damage to the Property or any damage to or breakages or failure of the contents of the Property, the Agent will notify the Owner and the Owner (or the Agent on behalf of the Owner) will use its reasonable endeavours to repair the damage as soon as is practicable. However, there is no guarantee that the repairs will be affected during the holiday period.  b) Should any damage to the Property or any of its contents be caused by a Guest, then you shall be liable for the cost of repair or, where repair is not reasonably practicable, replacement of the damaged item. The Agent (on behalf of the Owner) will notify you of the replacement or repair cost. Any replacement or repair shall be to the original standard.  c) You agree that the Agent (on behalf of the Owner) may take any payment due from you under clause 13 b) from your account using the debit or credit card details provided by you to the Agent. The Agent will use its reasonable efforts to contact you and notify you of the payment amount before taking payment from you.  d) If any damage to the Property or its contents caused by the Guest results in the cancellation of a future booking by another customer, then you will be responsible for the losses the Agent and/or the Owner suffers as a result, including its loss of profit. The Agent/ the Owner will take all reasonably practicable steps to minimise its losses in these circumstances. 14. Property Description a) The Agent works closely with the Owner to accurately describe all properties within the Agent’s promotional material. Occasionally an Owner will make changes to the set-up of their property after the Agent’s Promotional Material publication, for which the Agent cannot be held responsible.  b) Where changes made by the Owner to the Property materially alter the nature of a booking, the Agent will contact you in writing to inform you of the changes. Suppose any such changes will or will likely adversely affect your use of the Property. In that case, you may cancel your booking by giving written notice to the Agent within seven days of receiving notice of the change. If you cancel a booking in these circumstances, the Agent will refund you all sums you have paid in advance for the booking but will not have any further liability to you concerning the changes. c) Where facilities such as internet access are offered, this indicates that such services are available; however, no guarantees are made over the speed and quality of the service. d) By booking with the Agent, you confirm that you have read the full Property description and any notifications held within it. 15. Property security  — Your personal belongings are your responsibility during your holiday with us. Vehicles parked at our locations are subject to minimal security cover. Vehicles should be locked and all valuables removed. Neither the Owner nor the Agent accepts liability for any accident, loss or damage to your property unless such loss, damage or accident is due to our negligence or those for whom we are legally responsible. The Agent will (on behalf of the Owner) offer reasonable help to assist you in tracing items lost within the property. 16. Pools  — Please take extra care when using the pools during your holiday, as they may have open drops from the pool edge. Please ensure that children are supervised at all times. Your use, and your children’s use, of the pools is your responsibility and is at your own risk. You acknowledge that the Agent/ the Owner will not be held liable for any accident or injury incurred whilst using the pools except to the extent that it is caused by the Agent/ the Owner’s negligence. 17. Behaviour  — You are responsible for the behaviour of all members of your party/group whilst booking and staying at a Property. Aggressive or offensive behaviour towards any of our staff or Brand, including central and on-site employees, is unacceptable. The Agent (on behalf of the Owner) may refuse to honour your booking or ask you or any member of your party/group to leave immediately. On-site behaviour should not be excessive, noisy or disruptive, especially at night. Offensive or illegal behaviour will not be tolerated and may result in the police being involved. No refunds or compensation will be given in these circumstances, and the Agent reserves the right not to accept any future bookings from you or any member of your party/group. The use of fireworks or Chinese lanterns is not permitted on site. Outside fires/temporary fire pits are prohibited unless in a designated Together Travel-operated fire pit. 18. Driving on-site  — Please give way to pedestrians and cyclists at all times, and keep to the left in the UK and within the ten mph speed limit (or any other applicable speed limit on site). Please use great care when driving on-site as sleepers, boulders, logs and posts are placed to avoid damaging roadsides and unauthorised parking. No liability is accepted for any damage caused by these markers unless due to the Agent’s or the Owner’s negligence. All vehicles should be parked in designated parking or overflow parking areas. The Agent/ the Owner will not be liable for any damage caused to your vehicle if it is not parked in a specified area and it obstructs an emergency services vehicle. Please see our EV Charging Policy for guidance on using and charging Electric cars on-site. 19. Maximum number of guests  — The maximum number of guests permitted in each property (as outlined in our marketing materials and website) must not be exceeded. If it is, the onsite manager may move those additional persons to another residence and will charge the lead guest the appropriate full charge for the additional residence and any other charges incurred in servicing the original property  from when your party arrived for a holiday. In addition, your right to occupy the Property may be forfeited without compensation if more people or pets than specified at the time of booking attempt to take up occupation, or if any activity is undertaken which may cause unreasonable damage, noise or disturbance, including permitting guests to sleep on furniture not intended to serve as a bed. 20. Information about your party  — The Agent (on behalf of the Owner) reserves the right to obtain the name, age, address and gender of each party member before confirming your booking or at any time. You (the booker) must be a member of your party unless the Agent agrees otherwise. Failure to provide the Agent with full details of the make-up of your party before your arrival, if requested by the Agent, may result in delayed or denied access to your property. 21. All prices quoted include VAT where applicable at current rates.  The Agent (on behalf of the Owner) has the right to increase or decrease prices in line with any change in VAT or any other dues or fees levied on your holiday.  22. Child protection  — The Agent’s policy is to investigate any incident or allegation of concern, assist any proper enquiries about a child in its care or staying at one of its locations, and refer the matter to an appropriate external organisation should the Agent consider it appropriate. 23. Smoking  — Please note that smoking is not permitted in any residences or buildings in any UK locations. 24. Insurance  — Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that you and all party members have comprehensive travel insurance coverage and that it is adequate for your needs. Your insurance policy should cover personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries you intend to visit, along with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, curtailment, missed departure and legal expenses. If you suffer from a disability or medical condition, you should disclose this to insurers. For those who participate in sports and activities whilst on holiday that have been organised and arranged independently of the Agent, it should be understood that participation is at the individual’s own risk. It is your responsibility to obtain the relevant insurance. Special insurance may be required if you intend to undertake other dangerous or sports activities. Please keep your insurance details with you whilst on holiday. 25. Arrival  — Your residence will be available from 16h00. To help minimise our carbon footprint and reduce traffic volumes, we recommend bringing no more than two cars per residence to each location. 26. Departure  — You must vacate your residence by 10h00 on your departure date at the latest. Please return your key/key card to the reception or place them in your residence key box. 27. Complaints  — If you have cause for complaint whilst, on holiday, you must immediately bring it to the attention of the Agent’s local representative/Site Manager (or if nobody is available to the Agent’s central reservations office-Concierge), obtaining written confirmation from them of the complaint so that the Agent (on behalf of the Owner) or the Owner shall have the opportunity to correct the matter during the holiday. If you fail to do so, it deprives the Agent or the Owner of the opportunity to investigate the complaint and do their best to rectify it. If the Agent or the Owner cannot resolve matters whilst you are on holiday and remain dissatisfied, you must write to the Agent within 28 days of your return with full details of the complaint. The Agent will do its best to investigate and reply to you within 28 days of receipt of the letter. Please quote the booking reference on all correspondence. If you fail to follow this simple complaints procedure, your right to claim any compensation may be affected or even lost as a result.  28. Internet Access  — Wireless internet access, where available, is not guaranteed and is provided subject to third-party terms and conditions, which are available when accessing the system. The facility is not subject to any particular security/filtering measures and requires parental supervision when used by children. The Agent/ the Owner reserves the right to disclose your details to the Internet service provider if it discovers that you or a member of your party illegally downloaded content from the Internet or otherwise engaged in unlawful activity whilst using this facility.  Wi-Fi may not be available in all areas of the Property, may not always be operational or may at times run slowly due to the rural nature of the location.

• We exclude any liability for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage incurred by any user in connection with our internet connectivity services or connection with the use, inability to use, or results of the use of our services, including loss of or damage to; income or revenue, business, profits or contracts, anticipated savings, data, or goodwill, whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise, even if foreseeable, provided that this condition shall not prevent claims for loss of or damage to your tangible property or any other claims for direct financial loss that are not excluded by any of the categories set out above.
• We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by viruses or other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or other proprietary material due to your access to the internet via our services.

29. Special requirements and disabilities  — The Agent welcomes guests with restricted mobility, disability, medical or particular care requirements.

Please call the Agent’s Reservations & Concierge Team at +44 (0)1625 416430 for suitability and necessary adjustments. 30.  The Agent (on behalf of the Owner) or the Owner shall be allowed access to the Property at any reasonable time during any holiday occupancy. 31.  You may not resell, advertise, use or give your holiday or any promotional discount or offer to do so (for profit or otherwise) or use it in connection with a promotion, competition, business and charity or any other similar venture without the Agent’s written permission in advance. 32.  The Agent has compiled the information in its marketing materials and website as accurately as possible during production. However, facilities may be altered or withdrawn for reasons outside the Agent’s control, in which case it cannot accept responsibility for the inconvenience. The Agent makes every effort to ensure the property details are accurately reproduced. Mistakes may occur from time to time, and confirmation should be requested before confirmation of a booking. 33.  You must accept that minor differences between text/photograph/illustrations in the marketing materials and on the website and the features of the actual property may arise. The Agent/ the Owner cannot accept responsibility should the property not conform to the guest’s expectations. Please check with the Agent before confirming your booking if a specific facility is critical. 34.  This agreement is made on the basis that (about properties based in the UK) the property ("the Property") is to be occupied by the holidaymakers for a holiday as mentioned in the Housing Act 1988 Schedule 1 paragraph 9. You acknowledge that the tenancy granted by this agreement is not an assured tenancy and that no statutory periodic tenancy will arise when it ends. 35.  These Terms and Conditions of the booking will apply to all confirmed bookings. 36.  These Terms and Conditions of booking supersede all previous editions. 37.  Whilst every care has been taken to replicate the Terms and Conditions of Booking, due to the nature of electronic transmission, no responsibility can be accepted by the Agent/ the Owner for any loss or inconvenience incurred by errors in the transfer of information into electronic format. 38.  All marketing material connected to the Property remains the property of the Agent and/or the Owner (as applicable) and may not be replicated in part or whole without prior written permission. 

39. Data protection  — All the information the Agent collects and holds about you and your party/group members will be stored on computers and other filing systems. The Agent collects and keeps the information about you and members of your party to enable it to administer its services to you, conduct market research and provide you with information about its products and services and those of carefully selected third parties. If you do not wish to be contacted by the Agent or such third parties, please write to the Agent’s Reservations & Concierge Team at its office address — Together Travel, Glasshouse, Alderley Park, Congleton Road, Nether Alderley, Macclesfield, SK10 4TG or email [email protected].  Further information can be found here Privacy Policy. 40 . Your agreement for the holiday letting is with the Owner. The agreement with you binds you (the person named on the confirmation), and all members of your party/group, including children and any day visitors. You must ensure all members of your party/group are aware of the Terms and Conditions.  41.  This agreement and any dispute between the parties will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England. You can bring legal proceedings regarding any matters arising from this agreement in the English courts. If you live in Scotland, you can bring legal proceedings regarding any matter arising out of this agreement in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings regarding any matter arising from this agreement in either the Northern Irish or the English courts. 42. Amenities and facilities  — Where the Owner operates residences as part of a broader Estate/Resort/Development, the Agent/the Owner cannot and will not be held responsible for the operating hours of their facilities and amenities, should the estate choose to change from the expected schedules. Guests staying within such residences must check with the Estate/Resort/Development directly for the most up-to-date information. The Agent can advise when booking the most current information; however, guests must re-check with the respective locations. Due to the operating hours of the more comprehensive facilities and amenities, the cancellation will be as per Together Travel's standard booking conditions.  43. Activities  — Location services, features and facilities may vary between locations. Details of location services, features and facilities will be prominently displayed in the Together Travel App. Features, facilities or services referred to in any promotional literature or on the Website (e.g. bike hire, pony trekking and boat hire) are subject to availability and may be supplied by third parties. The Agent/ the Owner shall have no responsibility for loss, damage or injury concerning any services, features or facilities provided or supplied by third parties, except for injury or death caused by the negligence of the Agent/ the Owner. 44. Liability 

Owner’s Liability a) The Owner is responsible to you for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of breaking the Terms and Conditions or failing to use reasonable care and skill in providing its services to you. The Owner is not responsible to you for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or, when the contract was made, both you and the Owner knew it might happen.  b) The Owner shall be responsible for any personal injury or death caused by its negligence, and nothing in these terms and conditions shall exclude or limit that responsibility. However, the Owner will not be responsible for personal injury or death which is not caused by its negligence. c) The Owner makes the Property available to you for leisure, not commercial or business. The Owner will, therefore, not be liable to you for any loss of profit, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

Agent’s Liability a) The Agent shall not be liable for any breach of the Terms and Conditions made by the Owner. You acknowledge that you agree to let the holiday accommodation be made between you and the Owner. Therefore, any claims resulting from a breach of the Terms and Conditions by the Owner should be claimed against the Owner directly. In such instances, the Agent would serve as an intermediate to seek a resolution. b) The Agent shall not be liable for any act, neglect or default on the part of the Owners or any other person not within the employ of the Agent or otherwise under their control, nor for any accident, damage, loss, injury, expense or inconvenience, whether to person or property, which the Client or any other person may suffer or incur arising out of, or in any way connected with the rental accommodation unless the Agent is responsible. In addition, the Agent accepts no liability for loss of or damage to a Client's possessions on the Owner’s property or land. b) The Agent is responsible to you for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of breaking the Terms and Conditions or failing to use reasonable care and skill in providing services to you. The Agent is not responsible to you for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if they were contemplated by you and the Agent at the time the Agent accepted a booking made by you. c) The Agent shall be responsible for any personal injury or death caused by its negligence, and nothing in these terms and conditions shall exclude or limit that responsibility. However, the Agent will not be responsible for personal injury or death which is not caused by its negligence. In particular, the Agent’s liability shall not extend to actions/omissions by the Owner over whom it has no direct control. d) As the Property is made available to you for leisure purposes and not for any commercial or business purpose, the Agent will not be liable to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of business opportunity.  

45. Except for the Agent, no agreement term is enforceable under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by a person not party to the agreement.

46. Vouchers

a) Together Travel Gift Vouchers (“Vouchers”) may only be used with the Agent directly by ringing the Concierge on 01625 416 430. b)  Vouchers may be exchanged for any location advertised by the Agent – unless otherwise stated. Please note that all locations within the Ark Collection are exempt from any form of credit or gift voucher issued by Together Travel. c) Holiday prices vary dependent on season, location and duration and are subject to availability. d)  Vouchers are valid for 12 months from the issue date; holidays must have been booked and stay completed within this time. e)  The Agent accepts no liability for vouchers lost or stolen. f) Vouchers will only be accepted with a valid voucher number. g)  Voucher cash redemption value 0.0001p. h) Refunds will not be made against the payment for holidays with Vouchers, and no change will be given from Vouchers used. i) Vouchers may be used in part payment towards a holiday. All payment arrangements and holidays are booked under the Terms and Conditions.

47.  If paying for a holiday in a different currency, the Agent will accept payment at a rate of exchange as determined by the Agent at the time of booking. 48.  Voucher quantities should be checked immediately upon receipt. Any discrepancies must be notified immediately by telephoning +44 (0)1625 416430. The Agent cannot be held responsible for the shortage or loss of any vouchers not notified within three days of delivery. 49.  Cleared payment is required before the dispatch of orders. Payment is taken automatically at the time of purchase. 50.  The Agent and/or the Owner reserves the right to change the Terms and Conditions at any time. 51.  The services and experiences offered on this website are provided by third parties, not the Agent. When you book an event through the Agent, the Agent is acting as your agent, and your contract for the provision of the services is with the supplier of the service and/or experience. Therefore, unless caused by the Agent’s acts or omissions, the Agent will have no liability to you concerning such services or experiences.

We continuously review the prices set by the Owner and reserve the right to adjust the prices of unsold accommodation, whether increasing or decreasing them, at any given time. Additionally, we retain the authority to rectify any errors in the pricing of unsold accommodation as necessary. The price of your booking will be confirmed at the time of booking. Given the possibility of changes and errors, it is imperative that you verify the price and all other details of your chosen accommodation when making your reservation.

All prices quoted or provided to you encompass all charges and any applicable taxes or government fees at the time of booking. Fluctuations in tax rates or government charges may lead to variations in the total amount due for your booking, and you may be obligated to settle any additional taxes incurred after your booking has been confirmed. We reserve the right to pass on to you, in full, any costs or charges imposed by the Owner in connection with your booking, including any price adjustments due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Accommodation prices are quoted for the entire accommodation and are not based on a per-person basis, except in cases where an additional person charge is applicable. We levy a booking fee and (where applicable) administration and cancellation charges for the services rendered in managing your booking. Any booking fee will be clearly stated on our website or communicated during the telephone booking process and will be delineated as a separate charge on your confirmation.

In instances where a pricing error is glaringly obvious and unmistakable, and could reasonably have been detected by you as a mispricing, or if we identify such an error within 48 hours of accepting and processing your booking, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and refund any payments made to us.

YOUR PROPERTY 

1. Arrival and departure: You can arrive at your property from 4 pm (unless we tell you otherwise) on the start date of your rental period. You must leave by 10 am on the last day. If your arrival is delayed beyond 7 pm on the start date of your rental period, you must contact our reception team. If you fail to do so, you may not be able to get into the property. If you do not arrive by 12 noon on the day after the start date of your rental period and do not notify us of a delay, we will treat your booking as having been cancelled by you. In this situation, you will not receive a refund of any money you have paid.

Guests are required to leave a fixed amount of GBP £250 in either cash or as an authorisation on their credit card. All unused amounts of the deposit will be refunded on departure. We may ask for a security deposit for hotel room bookings; this depends on your length of stay. Security deposits are only deducted should damage occur during your stay. 

We expect the accommodation to be left in a reasonable state on departure. If we feel additional cleaning is required, you will be liable to pay us for the cost of this cleaning.

We may be forced to take legal action if you refuse to pay. If you severely damage the property, your booking will be immediately terminated, and no refund will be given; this amount will not contribute towards the bill for damages. 

RIGHT OF ENTRY 

We have the right to enter the property (without letting you know first if this is not practical or possible) if exceptional circumstances or emergencies happen (for example, if repairs need to be carried out) or if you break the law, breach any of these booking conditions, or any other terms and conditions applicable to your booking and/or the property. We have the right to enter the property for the purposes of inspection (including but not limited to where you have complained about the property) by giving you reasonable notice of such entry. You agree to allow us (including workers) access to the property as this clause requires.

• not to use the property for any illegal or commercial purpose
• not to sublet the property or any part thereof 
• not to allow anyone to stay on the property that was not accepted at the time of booking.

We can refuse to hand over the property if anyone in your party behaves unreasonably or is likely to offend other guests, staff members or neighbours or in the event we have a reasonable cause to believe you or any member of your party will cause damage or loss to the property, its services, or facilities. In these circumstances, the contract between us will be terminated, you will not receive any refund, and we will not have any further liability to you. 

We can terminate a stay after the keys have been handed over if the unreasonable behaviour of anyone in your party (including anyone invited into the property by you) is likely to impair the enjoyment, comfort or health of other guests, residents, neighbours, or members of staff or where you or any member of your party (or anyone invited into the property by you) has broken the law, breached or is likely to breach any of these booking conditions or our terms and conditions. In these circumstances, you must leave the property immediately, and no refund will be given. Furthermore, you may be liable to cover any costs incurred by us because of your behaviour.

You cannot arrange additional overnight visitors to the property without our consent. You cannot significantly change the number of adults or children during your stay. (For example, if you book for two adults and two children, you cannot arrive with four adults and no children.) Without advance consent, you must not hold events (such as parties, celebrations, or meetings) at the property. 

We reserve the right to refuse entry to the property or remove you from the property where this clause is breached. This will be deemed as a non-refundable cancellation. In this situation, you will not receive a refund of any money you have paid for your booking, and we will not be legally responsible to you. (This will include, for example, any costs or expenses you must pay due to being unable to stay on the property, such as the cost of finding other accommodation.) We are under no obligation to find any alternative accommodation for you. An additional fee may be charged should you require a cot.

Is It Safe to Travel to Chechnya

Introduction.

From the mid-1990s to around 2015, Chechnya was considered as one of the most dangerous places on earth. Its push for independence following the collapse of the USSR erupted into an all-out war with Russia. An uneasy peace was declared, and a decimated Chechnya was given short-lived independence as the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria before a second war began due to the influx of terrorism and banditry in the country. The second Chechen Conflict soon deteriorated into a demoralizing guerilla war, killing hundreds of thousands before a strong-armed government began to get the upper hand on radical Islamic elements within the country. As the violence rates began to drop, Chechnya news largely fell from the headlines leading to many asking questions about modern Chechnya, such as ‘is Chechnya safe?’ and is it safe to travel to Chechnya?

Tours in Chechnya

Since YPT started running tours there a number of years ago, we feel we’re the perfect people to answer this question. So we’re going to give you the lowdown on the security situation in Chechnya as well as our experience of touring the capital on our Grozny city tours.

To give some background on the Republic and to show you where Chechnya is, here is a map of Chechnya. The population of Chechnya is around 1.394 million, and it’s 17,300 km² large. Bear in mind that this small mountainous Republic waged a war against one of the biggest armies on earth that lasted almost two decades. When you arrive in Chechnya, you soon understand why when you see that it is home to some of the most majestic and formidable mountains on earth which were an ideal base for a relentless guerilla war.

On arrival in the capital of Chechnya, Grozny (the meaning of which means ‘terrible’ in Russian) you will be pleasantly surprised to find that the city once labeled by the UN as ‘the most destroyed city on earth’ was now a gleaming metropolis which resembled something out of Dubai. The main street of Grozny, named Vladimir Putin boulevard after his funding to rebuild the war-torn state, is full of coffee shops, pizzerias, and fashion stores. Interestingly, due to the stigma of the conflict, international brands such as Mcdonalds and Starbucks are not allowed to operate here as they are in the rest of Russia so Chechens often make their own, almost identical versions. There is no bar culture in this city, however, as the main religion in Chechnya is almost entirely Islamic.

The streets in Grozny are heavily patrolled by armed police and Chechen Special Forces. Dressed in black and usually on the larger side, they cut an imposing figure. However, these men are here to ensure security and will not bother you unnecessarily. It is absolutely forbidden to photograph them, however, which is a standard rule towards security services in any volatile state. Whilst in other North Caucasus republics traffic is inherently hectic and dangerous, Chechnya and Chechnya as a whole is a largely refreshing change due to the strict traffic enforcement and eagle-eyed law enforcement.

Ascending to the top of Grozny business center, also known as Akhmad tower, you’ll be treated to a birds-eye view of the now thriving city including a look inside the palace of Ramzan Kadyrov, which is forbidden to photograph due to security reasons. While observing the city from above, our local guide who was a veteran of the Chechen wars gave us a step-by-step rundown on Grozny’s battle and where significant events took place. He was more than happy to discuss what life was like during the conflicts as well as the trials and tribulations of what was one of the most horrific eras in the nation’s history. Conversations with our guide led to the Reaper Feed article on the prevalence of homemade, steampunk style weapons used in the Chechen Wars.

When it comes to the population of Chechnya, we’re pleased to report that years of brutal war hasn’t damaged their character. Most Chechen people you meet are as kind, honest, and hospitable. Chechen culture ensures that guests are treated as highly sacred and hospitality is one of their proudest features. Naturally, you’ll stand out as a foreigner, don’t be surprised if you’re in a restaurant or cafe and find your bill has already been paid by a friendly local.

Since the war, the president of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov had ensured a crackdown on the terror groups that once plagued the Republic. Under the strong-armed reign of Chechnya’s leader, many of them have since fled to neighboring Dagestan or the Middle East to continue their fight. Meaning Chechnya is finally afforded some long-deserved form of peace and safety.

Is Chechnya Safe?

So, to answer the initial question of ‘Is Chechnya Safe?’, Like anywhere that has recently come out of a war, Chechnya is still a volatile place and despite a massive de-escalation of violence. Terror attacks do still occur. However, it should not put you off traveling there, and with a well-experienced tour company like YPT, you’ll be in safe hands and be able to enjoy everything this massively underrated, fascinating Republic and the Chechen people have to offer.
