What time should I arrive?
We require all passengers to arrive an 45 minutes prior to their scheduled flight for critical onboarding and safety briefings.
What if I'm running late?
Contact us as soon as possible. Due to our onboarding policy, if you are not at the hangar within 30 minutes of your scheduled departure time, you will have to reschedule and pay a $100 fee. For example, if your scheduled departure is at 3pm, the cutoff time to be in the hangar is 2:30pm.
What do you do if there is bad weather?
We take your safety seriously. So, while mother nature can be unexpectedly feisty, we'll gladly reschedule your tour due to inclement weather — at no additional cost. (Ex: rain, low cloud layer, high winds, etc)
