- All bookings are accepted as being made for and on behalf
of the persons named on the passenger list. Substitute
passengers will be accepted if notified in writing prior
to the day of flight.
- Full payment is required to make a reservation. We regret
payments are not returnable. We will however agree to
hold over any flight in the event of the passenger suffering
serious prior illness or injury.
- Expectant mothers or persons suffering from a serious
medical condition will not be flown. If in doubt please
consult your own Doctor prior to booking a flight.
- Flights are dependant on specific weather criteria
and it may be necessary to postpone flying, sometimes
at very short notice. The pilot who is instructed by Blooners
2000 Limited (hereafter called “the Company”) not to fly
in conditions outside the specific weather criteria will
always make the ultimate decision. The Company reserves
the right to postpone a flight right up to the moment
of launch.
- It is intended that the balloon will be in the air
for approximately one hour but flight times cannot be
guaranteed and the pilot has the ultimate responsibility
for selecting the time and place of landing.
- Whilst the Company carries insurance cover against
the risk of injury or damage to passengers or third parties
in the course of the flight this cover is limited to £3.5
million in any one flight. It is a condition of booking
that the Company will not accept any liability for damage
to effects or personal property brought on the flight
nor for death or personal injury above our level of insurance
cover. Persons are advised to take out additional cover
if they feel it is appropriate.
- The booking will remain valid for a period of 12 months
from the company’s confirmation of acceptance. This period
may be extended by agreement with the company if the passenger
is prevented from taking up the flight due to circumstances
beyond his / her control.
- The company cannot accept liability for any costs or
expenses arising from a decision to postpone a flight
for whatever reason. Passengers are advised to check with
the company on the day prior to the intended flight as
to whether the flight is going to be possible.
- The passenger may postpone their flight by giving 3
days prior notice to the company. The company will then
reschedule the flight to another mutually convenient date.
- In the event of a passenger not giving notice to postpone
and not arriving in time to fly then the company reserve
the right not to reschedule the flight.
- Passengers are reminded it is illegal for persons suffering
from the effects of drugs or drink to be flown. The pilot
may also refuse to allow someone to fly he has reason
to believe may endanger the safety of the flight. His
/ her decision is final.
- Passengers are reminded that it is important that they
listen to and comply with the briefings the pilot will
give both before and during the flight.
- No smoking is permitted at anytime either on the launch
site, during the flight or whilst the balloon is being
packed away.
- Children under the age of six will not be flown and
children under the age of fifteen will only be flown with
an accompanying adult.
