HOLIDAY INFORMATION
Alcohol - Floridas liquor laws are strictly enforced. If youre under 21, or even look under 21, you cannot buy alcohol. Also, it is against the law to carry alcohol in the passenger area of the car, so always put alcohol in the boot.
YOUR FLIGHT
When booking your holiday with Style, we can offer a wide choice of flights at very competitive prices. Due to the range of different flight options we can offer, we include only brief flight details in our brochure, but you will find lots of information on our website or by asking your travel agent or calling us direct. Our preferred airline is Thomas Cook Airlines and below you will find some useful information about Thomas Cook Airlines along with some general information applicable to all flights available to book through Style. Please also read the important information about checking in for your flight.
SMOKING
Restrictive legislation against smoking in public places is becoming increasingly common in destinations worldwide. You may find that your hotel or areas within your hotel and holiday resort operate enforced smoking restrictions. Fines may be imposed for breaching regulations. To find out more visit the FCO website www.fco.gov.uk
DRIVING
Laws, licensing requirements and age limits vary throughout the world. We recommend you check with your travel agent, or the relevant embassy or consulate. Driving in Florida is very easy, with uncrowded roads, clear signposting and petrol stations everywhere. Petrol is about $2.40 a gallon and a supply of quarters is essential for paying road tolls. To avoid parking tickets, always park with your rear number plate on view to passing police cars.
CHARTER & SCHEDULED FLIGHTS
We are able to offer a choice of charter and scheduled flights (including no frills/low cost carriers). Charter flights are regular but generally not daily flights and are organised by tour operators, whereas Scheduled flights are based on pre-determined schedules set by airlines. Charter flights usually operate directly from the departure location to the destination without any intermediate stops so can be the quickest and cheapest way to reach your destination, usually these flights don't operate on a previously fixed schedule. A scheduled flight may have intermediate stops or require connecting flights and some scheduled airlines work in partnership with other airlines to give more choice and better onward connections.
