AC Escapes is an independent travel planning service, providing bespoke holiday planning, booking coordination, and support for clients. All bookings are made through approved suppliers via the JLT Group’s platform.
2. Travel Bookings
-
AC Escapes acts as an agent, not the supplier of travel services (e.g. hotels, airlines, cruises).
-
Bookings are made on your behalf with third-party suppliers.
-
Each supplier has their own terms and conditions, which you will be provided with during the booking process.
-
You are responsible for reviewing and agreeing to those terms before confirming your booking.
3. Financial Protection
All package holidays booked through AC Escapes are:
-
ATOL protected when they include flights
-
PTS protected for financial security on non-flight packages
Linked Travel Arrangements (LTAs) are protected differently. Full details are shared at the time of booking.

-
No planning fee is charged for standard bookings (unless otherwise agreed in writing).
-
Payment is taken via secure, authorised platforms as directed by JLT and their partners.
-
Prices are subject to change until booking is confirmed.
5. Cancellations & Amendments
-
Each supplier has their own cancellation/amendment policies.
-
These will be outlined before booking and must be reviewed carefully.
