Terms & Conditions

Advance Helicopters experience vouchers can be redeemed against our range of Helicopter Experiences.

All Advance Helicopters experience vouchers have a unique reference number which must be quoted when dealing with Advance Helicopters. Vouchers and any corresponding receipts must be kept safe and secure. Advance Helicopters will take no responsibility for any loss you may incur as a result of voucher or receipt theft and impersonation or identity fraud. We reserve the right to cancel vouchers that we deem to have been obtained fraudulently.

Validity

Experience vouchers are valid for at least 6 months from date of purchase. The exact issue date will be printed on the voucher. You must make your booking and participate in the experience before this expiry date or the voucher will no longer be valid. Credit can be used until the expiry of the voucher and is non-refundable.

Flexibility

Experience vouchers are totally flexible and can be used to book other experience available. There will be no charge for exchanging, however if your chosen experience is higher in price than the value of your original voucher, you will need to pay the price difference. When redeeming, if your chosen experience is lower in price, the difference will be held as credit to use against any future purchase. Credit can be used until the original expiry date of the voucher and is non-refundable.

Booking

To book your voucher, you must contact Advance Helicopters. The contact details are contained on this website and included with the experience voucher. Once your booking date is confirmed, you will be required to bring the experience voucher with you on the day.

Refunds

Refunds can be made on unused vouchers bought from Advance Helicopters within 14 days of purchase. Where dates have already been confirmed as booked with us, refunds within 14 days are subject to our cancellation policy (see below).

Refunds are always made to the person who purchased the voucher, and if originally purchased by credit or debit card, the refund will be credited to the same card, or in some cases by cheque.

Receipts must be retained as proof of purchase.

Cancellations

Once you have confirmed your booking date with us you are bound by our terms and conditions regarding cancellations or changes. It is not possible to change the booking unless we agree to the change.

Sometimes Advance Helicopters may need to cancel the experience at short notice for reasons beyond our control, such as adverse weather conditions, illness or mechanical breakdowns. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you contact us on the day before you depart for your experience to check. We regret that in the event of cancellation, Advance Helicopters is unable to reimburse travel, accommodation or any other expenses you may incur in relation to the cancelled experience.

Restrictions

Certain experiences are subject to minimum or maximum requirements; e.g. age, health, height or weight. Full details are included with all product information and we will notify you of any such restrictions when you submit your booking request. Once a booking is confirmed, it may not be possible to cancel if these requirements cannot be met, so please check carefully.

Description

The information provided by Advance Helicopters about each helicopter experience is correct at the time of print. However, their content or format may change slightly during the year. Current details are available on our website.

Images

The images used to illustrate experiences are used as an indication only. The exact aircraft do vary.

Experience Duration

Exact flight times of experiences are approximate. They can vary due to various factors such as weather, airfield conditions, air-traffic control delays, etc. which are all beyond the control of Advance Helicopters. We will always do our best to ensure that the experience flight time is that stated on the voucher, but any variation to this time cannot be refunded against the value of the voucher.

Availability

All our experiences are offered subject to availability. The most recent information on availability will be available by contacting Advance Helicopters. Please book as early as possible, preferably at least 7 days in advance or further for peak dates such as weekends or holiday periods. We strongly suggest you do not make arrangements in connection with the booking until it has been confirmed with the us.

Where the experience is not available due to mechanical breakdown or illness, the venue reserves the right to make reasonable substitutions on the day. If this is not possible the venue reserves the right to cancel the experience at short notice.

Promotional Codes and Discounts

Only one valid Advance Helicopters promotional offer or discount code can be applied per order and can only be used if a discount has not already been applied. Promotional offers or discount codes must not be used with existing vouchers or credit balances. They may be subject to specific terms, conditions or validity periods and may be withdrawn without notice at any time. We reserve the right to restrict their use in conjunction with vouchers. We reserve the right to void vouchers or credit balances acquired through violation of this condition.

Inclusivity

We welcome the participation of disabled people in our experiences though we recognise that our experiences may present difficulties for those with disabilities. We are committed to ensuring that disabled customers are given every opportunity to participate, so we ask that you tell us about any relevant disability at the time of ordering. This enables us to do our best to meet the participant’s particular needs. We will be happy to provide information about the disabled facilities available at our venue on request.

Complaints

We welcome your feedback on all of our products. If you have a problem or complaint on the day, please bring it to the attention of one of us at the venue as soon as possible, so that they have a chance to put matters right. If your problem is not resolved on the day, please contact us, including your voucher reference and participant details, and we will be happy to take the matter up. In general, we consider it unreasonable if you take no action during an event, but then make a complaint at a later date.
