Please let us know the passenger weights when making a booking and do not hesitate to get in touch if you are unsure about weight restrictions.

All flights are weather dependent.
In the event that the weather is unsuitable on the day of your scheduled booking, your flight will be cancelled and rescheduled at no additional cost to you. When booking please provide us with suitable contact information so we can get hold of you on the day. We suggest you call us on the morning of your flight if you have any doubt about the weather.
