What each tier costs you, and what it buys
| Tier | What it buys | What it costs |
|---|---|---|
| Runs regardless | Nobody else can cancel your trip. No minimum, no decision date, no waiting | No guide, no group, and every day is yours to fill |
| Already guaranteed | The operator has committed. The date is settled before you arrive | Tighter cancellation terms, because the operator carries the fixed cost from the day it commits |
| Minimum usually met | A group trip at a group price, on dates with a record behind them | A decision date, and a period where you are committed and it is not |
| Minimum often short | Frequently the best trip on the list, at a real chance of not running | Read this twice. The airfare, if you buy it early. A shortfall refunds the operator's money and nothing else |
