Disclaimer
Identity Disclaimer — We Are NOT an Airline
Tripphilia.com is a travel agency website owned and operated by Hydra Travels Inc., an independent travel agency accredited by the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) under Accreditation Number 45572424. Tripphilia.com is not, in any capacity, an airline, air carrier, aircraft operator, or aviation service provider. We do not own, operate, charter, or have any financial interest in any aircraft, airline, or air transport company.
This distinction carries significant legal and practical consequences that all users of this website must understand before making any booking or purchase:
| What Tripphilia.com IS | What Tripphilia.com IS NOT |
|---|---|
| An ARC-accredited independent travel agency (ARC No. 45572424) | An airline, air carrier, or aircraft operator |
| A booking intermediary acting as agent for travel suppliers | A party to your contract of air carriage |
| An authorized issuer of airline tickets on behalf of ARC-member airlines | The entity responsible for flight operations, scheduling, or delays |
| A provider of travel agency services including booking, support, and post-ticketing assistance | A hotel, car rental company, cruise line, or any other supplier |
| A company bound by ARC accreditation rules and US travel agency regulations | A government body, regulatory authority, or consumer protection agency |
Your contract for the actual provision of air transportation is exclusively with the operating airline. Your contract for hotel accommodation is with the hotel property. Your contract for a car rental is with the car rental agency. Tripphilia.com is a party to none of these underlying service contracts; we facilitate their formation on your behalf as your authorized travel agent.

Notwithstanding this, the following limitations apply:
