Cancellation and passenger policies for flights are as follows:

• Purchased tickets and certificates do have a one (1) year expiration associated with each one.  Cancellation of the flight due to weather or mechanical reasons will not result in a forfeiture your flight or gift certificate (if used within the allotted time.) If Air Texas cancels your flight more than 8 times due to weather delays, as a gratis, we will extend your ticket an additional 6 months.  There will be no further extensions after this 6 month period and your flight must be accomplished before the six month extension date. Flight cancellations due to these reasons are at the sole discretion of the chief pilot.
 
• Passengers who request to reschedule, without penalty, must do so prior to 72 hours of the flight.  Cancellations within a 24-72 hour period prior to your flight, will incur a $50/passenger rebooking fee, payable in cash, on the day of your new flight.

• Passengers cancelling within 24 hours of their scheduled flight will forfeit their flight voucher unless the passenger can refill the vacated spaces with others who are within (or less) the same weight range.

• There are no reschedules for No-Shows and your tickets will be automatically voided.

• Pregnant women; or those who may think that they are pregnant; or persons who have a medical condition, which in the pilots' opinion could be aggravated in the event of a hard landing, will not be able to participate in the hot air balloon adventure. Please notify us if you think any medical condition may be a factor in you participating in this activity.
   
• Due to balloon lifting restrictions, the maximum passenger weight is 225 lbs. with a combined couples weight not to exceed 400 lbs.  One may purchase extra ticket(s) if their weight exceeds the max. passenger weight or the gross combined weight if they wish to participate in the adventure.   Please call for full details.  Passengers exceeding their declared weights on the day of the flight by more than 10% will have an additional surcharge of 20% due to balloon extra fuel consumption.  This does not include exceeding the max. passenger weigh of 225 lbs.
