The traveller themselves shall be responsible for contacting all the airlines responsible for their journey and shall also be responsible for any resulting problems.
- Baggage
RCG accepts no liability for baggage costs not included in the price of the ticket. Any delays or damage to the baggage must be reported immediately to the airline’s representatives at the airport.
- Special baggage
RCG may provide the traveller with assistance, if the traveller so wishes, with booking special baggage and submitting their requests to the airline, in accordance with RCG’s current pricelist.- RCG will only assist the traveller with submitting an enquiry and only regarding the following pieces of special baggage: wheelchairs, snowboards, golf bags, and bicycles.

- Connection times when transferring between flights
Trips booked via RCG meet minimum connection time requirements. The connection time when transferring between flights is calculated by the airline. If a flight segment is delayed in the event of a transit booking (where all segments are booked on the same ticket), the airlines are obliged to assist the traveller to reach the final destination.
When separate tickets are booked, the airlines bear no responsibility for delays leading to missed connections. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the traveller to check that the connection time is sufficient according to the airlines and the airports.
- Double booking
It is the traveller’s responsibility to ensure that any double bookings are cancelled, regardless of where they were made. If the traveller does not do so, they risk the airline cancelling the double booking without warning. RCG accepts no liability for any booking cancellations carried out by the airline or non-payment of refunds in such situations.
- Taxes
Ticket prices include flight taxes. A departure tax must be paid in cash on departure from some airports. It is the responsibility of the traveller to check this information.
- Frequent flyers
You can add your frequent flyer number when booking when providing your personal details.
- We register the details in the booking, but accept no liability for points or bonuses being registered with the applicable airline.
- Not all airline tickets and airline tickets combining different airlines are automatically eligible for bonuses. Please check this directly with the airline, as this is something over which we have no influence.

- The traveller will be responsible for the cost of such transportation between airports in the event of an airport transfer. This shall not be included in the ticket price.
- If the traveller has booked a trip with an overnight stay during the course of the trip, the traveller shall be responsible for booking and paying for accommodation and transportation to and from the hotel. This shall not be included in the price of the ticket.

Trips marked as ‘two single trips’ comprise two single trips. Even if the segments are booked together, they are considered independent of each other. This means that each segment is treated separately when booking, making alterations, for schedule changes, and in the event of other disruptions, such as strikes. The regulations of each individual airline shall apply here.
- Right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal shall not apply to transportation as per the Swedish Distance Selling Act. Nor is there a 24-hour rule that can be applied to our bookings. Once the payment has been made and the ticket issued, we cannot amend the ticket. Any amendments must be made in accordance with the amendments/cancellations rules of the airlines in question.
E-ticket
Electronic tickets (e-tickets) are sent out by RCG by email once a booking has been made. This must be accessible to the traveller throughout the trip as it contains all the important information, such as the booking reference, flight number and flight times. This message also includes an itinerary that must be checked before and during the trip, as up-to-date flight times and any schedule changes will be shown in the itinerary.
Airline tickets must be used in chronological order, and no segments may be skipped. If the traveller is a ‘no-show’ for any segment, the rest of the trip may be cancelled by the airline.
These rules are outside of RCG’s control.
Tickets with different booking numbers or bookings made as two combined single trips (see Two single trips) are always treated as individual tickets that are independent of one another.
RCG accepts no liability for missed connections or failure to issue refunds for separate tickets in the event of schedule changes, delays or cancelled flights.
- Flight times
All flight times are given in local time. The flight times in the confirmation, receipt and e-ticket email are static and correct at the time the original booking, but the flight times may be changed at short notice.

It is the responsibility of the traveller to ensure they are informed of the correct timings for their outbound and inbound trips.
- If an airline offers a refund due to a schedule change, RCG shall charge an administrative fee per person in accordance with the current service fees.
- If you have booked a trip consisting of two single trips (see Two single trips), and a schedule change has occurred on one of the segments, this does not provide grounds to change or cancel the other segment(s).

- RCG accepts no liability if a strike, environmental disaster, act of war, or other event that interferes with the planned trip occurs at or in close proximity to the destination, meaning that it is no longer possible to undertake the planned trip.

Connection Guarantee
Our service
In order to offer you the best service when it comes to your trip, we have included a Connection Guarantee in the price of our tickets.
The purpose of this is to offer you as smooth and comfortable a trip as possible. This means that in the event of delays, schedule changes or flight cancellations leading to a delay of more than 24 hours, Resecentrumgruppen will offer you assistance in the form of the best possible alternative flight options. If there is no suitable option, instead you will be offered a full refund for all unused airline tickets, or a ticket back to your point of departure. You are free to choose which option suits you best.
Please note that we will only assist in instances where changes to a ticket affect your other tickets: for example, if you are flying Stockholm–London–New York City–Los Angeles and only the last segment is on a separate ticket, this is the segment we will rebook. Please also note that this product only applies if the flight is delayed, subject to a schedule alteration, or cancelled under normal circumstances. The Connection Guarantee does not apply in Force majeure situations, such as extreme weather events or pandemics.
Nor can it be used if you change any of your airline tickets yourself without our approval.
The Connection Guarantee can be used:
If the airline changes the times or cancels the flight before the scheduled departure, leading to you being delayed by more than 24 hours in arriving at your final destination.
If you are traveling on separate tickets.
How to use your Connection Guarantee:
