APT will advise you of any significant changes as soon as it is informed by the airline. Minor timing changes will be shown on your flight tickets,.

If We Change or Cancel Your Holiday Before Your Departure - APT endeavours to provide you with all the services confirmed to you at the time of your booking. However, we plan arrangements a long time in advance of your departure date using independent suppliers such as airline, hotels etc., over whom we have no direct control.
