Blue Sky Balloons
Terms & Conditions
To ensure your flight is a happy, memorable and safe occasion, please read these Terms & Conditions of Flight.
DURATION Flights with Blue Sky Balloons are planned for approximately one hour duration. However, the flight may be extended or curtailed due to availability of landing sites or due to changes in the weather. This decision rests with the pilot.
WEATHER Balloon flights take place when local weather conditions are suitable. Flights are unable to take place in poor visibility or if it is windy or raining heavy. Where arrangements have been made to meet for a flight, we reserve the right to postpone a flight at any time up to the moment of launch if in our judgement the conditions are not safe.
If your flight is cancelled due to unsuitable weather conditions, please be patient with our staff as the weather is beyond our control. To ensure your safety Blue Sky Balloons only fly when the weather is safe to do so. Weather can be very local, so whatever the weather conditions may be at home, the weather conditions at the launch site influence the flight. We have more than 20 years ballooning experience, so please respect our decision, your flight is well worth waiting for!
PASSENGERS To participate on one of our flights, passengers should be able to travel to our launch site within two hours. A child under the age of 16 years will only be flown if accompanied by an adult appointed by the parent or guardian. In the interests of safety and operational requirements we cannot undertake the carriage of passengers whose weight exceeds 18 stone (114kg).
FIT TO FLY Passengers should be medically fit to fly. If the passenger has a previous medical condition that could be aggravated by taking a flight, we advise that they should seek medical advice before booking a flight. It is important that you notify us of any medical condition or disability that the passenger may have. Pregnant passengers will not be carried on our flights.
CANCELLED FLIGHTS In the event that a flight is cancelled due to adverse weather conditions, it is the responsibility of the passenger to make contact to rebook their flight.
BOOKING ALTERATIONS Seven days notice is required should you wish to alter a booked date, failure to do so could result in forfeit of your entitlement to book another date.
LATE ARRIVALS/NON ARRIVALS Any passenger failing to turn up for a flight would forfeit their payment. Any passenger arriving late for a flight where the pilot was unable to wait and had made the decision to fly would also forfeit their payment.
BOOKING DEPOSIT The booking deposit is non-refundable and is valid for any flight up to the 30th September 2008. It is the responsibility of the passenger to book in as many times as is required to take their flight before the 30th September 2008.
BALANCE PAYMENT The balance of the cost of the flight is payable on the day you fly. Please arrange payment by credit card.
INSURANCE Blue Sky Balloons hold Third Party and Passenger Liability to a maximum of £2,000,000. No responsibility will be accepted for any illness or injury to a passenger due to a pre-existing medical condition or failure of the passenger to comply with instructions. Pregnant passengers are not accepted on our flights.
