DO YOU HAVE PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE?

Yes. You can make a payment at anytime by selecting the Make A Payment option. As an alternative, you can also choose to finance your trip through Uplift.

Uplift will pay for your trip in full, and then allow you to make 11 additional monthly payments to pay for your trip in full. This option will extend out your final payment deadline and may make a more affordable option for our guests.


HOW DO I GET A CUSTOM QUOTE?
If you are interested in options for dates that are outside of the current group block, or would like a different room category quoted, please fill out the Booking Request Form and in the comments section, ask for a quote. Include in your comments which duration and/or room category you would like more information on. Or, you can always contact Amanda directly via email or phone.


HOW LONG DOES THE QUOTING PROCESS TAKE FOR A CUSTOM QUOTE?
When you request a customized quote, please allow up to 14 days to receive pricing back.

If you need to cancel your booking, you must notify Glow Travel immediately. Cancellation charges are calculated based on the date that Glow Travel is notified in writing of the cancellation.
