We try to keep the costs down for all of our passengers by flying the right equipment for the number of passengers scheduled for that day. We do not try to cram 8 passengers into a balloon for 6. We also do not like to fly our balloons with empty seats. These empty seats will still cause us to incur operating costs, empty seats cause the rates to rise for all of our other patrons. Therefore we have just a few simple but non-negotiable rules for cancellation.
Due to the limited availability of passengers per balloon Thompson Aire requires a deposit to secure a flight date.
