Travel insurance is essential for any trip and should be in place as soon as you book your Travel Package.

Do not leave Travel Insurance until the last minute, in the unfortunate event that you are too Sick to travel or have a medical emergency or your circumstances change. Without the appropriate insurance in place, your booking can be severely affected.

All medical care is private. If you need treatment in a foreign country it could end up costing a small fortune, which is why worldwide travel insurance is necessary.

Best to have you and your loved ones fully covered and give yourself, peace of mind.

If you are travelling and want the peace of mind of being insured, be aware that any medical conditions may affect this.

If you have certain medical issues, many insurers will not cover you for claims related to those conditions or would charge you so much that cover is unaffordable.

If you have had advice or treatment for any of the following conditions, standard travel insurance may not cover you:

• Heart conditions (including high blood pressure and high cholesterol)
• Breathing conditions (including asthma)
• Joint and bone inflammation
• Gastrointestinal problems
• Diabetes
• Chronic illnesses (including cancer)
• Strokes
• Epilepsy
• HIV

The bigger travel insurers that can be found on price comparison websites may not be able to provide affordable cover, though it is always worth checking.

We are committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability.

We ask that you carefully consider whether you are physically and mentally able to complete the itinerary you have chosen, recognising that on many trips you may be required to carry your own bags and use public transport.

Where we can we will make reasonable adjustments to the operation of our trips to facilitate the requirements of disabled travellers – such as booking ground floor accommodation.

Many travellers with disabilities have been able to enjoy our trips by travelling with a friend or companion who can assist with specific needs.

Please Note: Accessible Seating can not be guaranteed by Wrestling Travel, wherever possible we will strive to support your Accessible Request.

If you’re thinking about taking your little ones with you, here’s some information to take into account. There are sometimes age restrictions that won’t allow children under a certain age into an event, so please check this before buying a Travel Package containing Live Event Tickets. Unless we specifically say otherwise, your children will need their own ticket, even if they’ll be sitting on your knee.

• Children aged 0-18 months: Very few shows, if any, are aimed at this age group.
• 18 month – 5 years: We wouldn’t recommend taking children this young, but unless there’s a specific age restriction set by the venue or event organisers, this is completely up to you.
• 5 years and over: It’s important to remember that a live show might be very different from what you see on TV.

So even if your little ones like the TV show, the live act might not be appropriate. Noise levels may also not be suitable for young children.

Please remember if your children aren’t used to this type of atmosphere, it may not be an enjoyable experience for them.

Each Travel Package will contain the main traveller that will be the primary contact for the group. As the main traveller, you represent that you have the legal authority and capacity to enter into the Agreement and that you are age 18 or older. Anyone under that age will need a Parent or Guardian to accompany them during the trip.

12/02/2019: UPDATED NOTICE

The US Government has made a significant change to their Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) which is applicable with immediate effect.

For travel to the USA, travellers need to apply for ESTA no later than 72 hours before departure. Real-time approvals will no longer be available and arriving at the airport without a previously approved ESTA will likely result in being denied boarding.

What has changed?

• There are no more instant approvals for ESTA applications.
• The ESTA approvals will now take three days to process (72 hours).
• What does this mean for travellers to the USA who require ESTA authorization*?
• They will no longer be able to get the ESTA application approved in real time.
• They will be denied boarding if they do not have a previously approved ESTA authorisation.

What do you need to do?

For your forthcoming travel to the USA*, apply for ESTA as early as possible and no later than 72 hours before departure.

Useful links to get more information or to apply for ESTA.

To apply for ESTA complete an online pre-registration form on Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) You can get more information about ESTA at U.S. Customs and Border Protection ESTA Frequently Asked Questions, Foreign and Commonwealth Office

*Check if you require an ESTA here: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/

If a traveller is denied ESTA authorization and his or her circumstances have not changed, a new application will also be denied. A traveller who is not eligible for ESTA is not eligible for travel under the Visa Waiver Program and should apply for a nonimmigrant visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Reapplying with false information in order to qualify for a travel authorization will make the traveller permanently ineligible for travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program.

Please Note: Wrestling Travel is not responsible for any outcome made during an ESTA Application by a Passenger.

If you have a criminal record and attempt to travel without a visa, you may be refused entry into the United States.

Even if your conviction makes you Ineligible to travel to the U.S., you may be able to obtain a temporary waiver of this ineligibility.

We would advise you to contact the US Embassy directly at:

https://uk.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulates/

Visitors travelling to Canada by air are now expected to get an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) to enter Canada.

If you’re visiting Canada you’ll need an eTA to board your flight unless you’re otherwise exempted (for example, if you have a valid Canadian visa or a permanent resident card).
