Cancellation and Refund Policy – What You Should Know

If your travel plans change, you can cancel your helicopter booking.
Refunds will be given within 5 to 7 working days, but some cancellation charges will be taken out.

Important: If you cancel less than 24 hours before your flight, you won’t get any refund.
