Terms
The terms, in plain language
These are the terms for using this site and working with 12 Hours Ahead. They're written to be read. Effective July 2, 2026.
What we do
12 Hours Ahead is a travel design practice. We plan trips, arrange bookings, and deliver itineraries. Aaron Taylor is an independent travel advisor with Fora Travel, the host agency through which bookings and supplier relationships run. The travel itself — flights, hotels, tours, transfers — is provided by the airlines, hotels, and operators you book with, and their terms, fare rules, and cancellation policies apply to those bookings alongside these terms.
What you remain responsible for
- Accurate details. Names as they appear on passports, dates of birth, and contact details must be right — airlines issue tickets exactly as given, and corrections after ticketing can be costly or impossible.
- Documents and entry requirements. Valid passports, visas, and any health requirements are the traveller's responsibility. We flag what we see, but requirements change and the final check before travel is yours.
- Reviewing your itinerary. Check the names, dates, and times on every confirmation when you receive it, and tell us promptly if something is off.
Travel insurance
We strongly recommend travel insurance for every trip — trip cancellation, medical, and evacuation cover where appropriate. If you choose to travel without it, that choice and its consequences are yours.
How we're paid
Like most travel advisories, we may earn commission from the suppliers you book with; it never raises your price. Any professional fees — for example, award-booking fees — are agreed with you in writing before they apply.
Where our responsibility ends
We act as an advisor and intermediary. We don't operate flights, hotels, or tours, and we aren't liable for supplier failures, schedule changes, delays, weather, or events beyond anyone's control — though when travel goes sideways, helping you recover is exactly the job, and we do it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't lawfully be limited.
