WEXAS Information & Benefits
As you now hold the WEXAS card, your partner
or family are entitled to unlimited free VIP lounge access at 22 UK
airports (subject, of course, to availability), even if you’re
flying economy class—provided, as a Blue Card holder, you’re on a
longhaul flight with at least two nights’ accommodation booked
through WEXAS.
And overseas you’ll have access to around 100
lounges by presenting your WEXAS card and paying a nominal fee
(typically around £15 per person). Avoid the hustle and bustle of
airport departure halls and just relax in peace. Lounges normally
provide newspapers, phones, email facilities and complimentary
drinks and snacks. See the pages at the back of this brochure for
more details on airport VIP lounges.
We’re so confident about the value of our
pricing that we always guarantee to offer you the lowest scheduled
air fare available. Find it for less from another ATOL–bonded
company on a like–for–like basis and we guarantee to match it.
ATOL–bonded means we’ll match the fares of other travel retailers,
including online companies who have an ATOL licence from the Civil
Aviation Authority, but not airline–only websites that sell fares
directly, without bonding, thereby offering no financial protection
for you if things go wrong. Some promotional fares and special
offers may be excluded.
Throughout the year we use the buying power
of more than 30,000 members to negotiate deals for our members that
no other travel company can get. We get these deals because we’re a
private club that doesn’t advertise our fares to the general
public. For example, airlines, will give us exclusive offers, safe
in the knowledge that their brands and public position on pricing
will not be affected. Make sure we have your email address so you
don’t miss out on any of these deals. You can update your personal
details, including your email, at www.wexas.com.
OAG Flight Planner is a comprehensive
flight–planning tool that allows you to build and save the most

database is unmatched, with over 1.4 million flight sectors, and is
constantly updated. WEXAS also provides a complimentary flight
guide in conjunction with OAG, which is mailed to all our Gold and
Platinum members twice a year. This handy pocket–sized guide
contains details of all direct flights to and from the rest of the
world and UK.

WEXAS Visa Service
Our travel consultants can provide you with
advice on visa requirements and process visa applications on your
behalf, but it’s your responsibility to ensure that your passport
is valid, in force and with the appropriate visa. If you’ve booked
your flights with WEXAS, this service normally costs around £35 per
visa (including a special delivery charge) or around £50 if you’ve
not booked your flight with WEXAS. Visa applications to some
countries can be difficult to obtain, in which event members will
be advised of any additional charges. The actual cost of the visa
varies from country to country. For some there may be no charge,
while for others it may be quite hefty. This cost isn’t included in
our service fee. We can process Australian tourist visas
electronically for just £10 when you book your flight or, if you’ve
not booked with WEXAS, for £25. Previous criminal convictions may
affect your rights to travel without a visa to certain
destinations—for example, but not exclusively, the USA.
