We suggest you call the day before your experience if you have any doubt about the weather suitability. If bad weather affects a booking it will be rescheduled at no cost to you. You are required to reschedule as the voucher is non-refundable.

-  We may, either refuse to allow any person on the experience, air charter and tour or expel any person from the experience , if in the opinion of any representative of Amber Aviation Group or any carrier that their mental or  physical condition is such as to render them:

-  Incapable of caring for themselves

-  Likely to become objectionable to other passengers

- A hazard to themselves or other passengers.

-  We will not be liable for any expenses arising from such persons being precluded from completing the experience for any such reason.

-  We accept no responsibility for any death, injury, illness, loss (including loss of enjoyment), damage, detention, delay (including mechanical breakdown) beyond its reasonable control.

-  Is limited to the re-supply of the products and/or services or the payment of the cost of the re-supply of the products and/or services to you; and
