General terms and conditions of business,

Conditions of carriage and cancellation fees

1. Contractual partners are the operating airline and the respective client and passenger. In individual cases, the air carrier named as the contractual partner can use another air carrier that fulfills the same legal requirements of the BMVIT to carry out the journey. In this case, the aviation company used assumes liability. If the flight is transferred to another airline, the passenger has the option to withdraw from the contract. The passenger cannot therefore assert claims for damages.

2. The carrier's liability is limited under existing aviation laws.

3. There is no liability for luggage, photo and film equipment. If you take your luggage with you, you are responsible for shock-proof storage during the entire journey. The passenger is also responsible for ensuring that other passengers are not harmed by their luggage, photo or film equipment.

4. The passenger is responsible for arriving on time at the meeting point or starting point. Failure to show up or late cancellation (at least 48 hours before departure) due to reasons for which the guest is responsible will result in the loss of the fare paid without replacement.

5. Passengers can be taken along when changing the starting point and the return trip to the starting point by car is free of charge.

6. The invoice amount for the balloon flight is due by "bank account transfer" (in advance), cash payment in the office (in advance) or "cash payment on site" without deductions. The air carrier may refuse carriage and appointment if the full fare is not paid.

7. Failure to observe the “Special Rules and Behavior for Balloon Flights” can lead to exclusion from the flight.

8. Carriage can also be refused if there is a suspicion of alcohol consumption before the journey.

9. Damage and injuries must be reported to the pilot/air carrier immediately, at the latest within two calendar days after the flight has taken place.

10. Agreed dates are binding and can only be changed with our consent up to 48 hours before the start of the journey. If you change to a new date, you will not incur any costs, but there is no right to immediate fulfillment of your suggested date.

11. The tickets issued are valid for 3 years from the date of issue. In the case of price increases 4 months or more after the date of issue, the difference must be settled before the start. The fares valid according to the current brochure apply, special regulations in individual cases must be in writing. Offers sent or submitted by alpineballooning – austria/tirol by email or verbally are valid for a maximum of 4 months!

12. Amounts paid are non-refundable, a cash replacement of the tickets is excluded. The ticket(s) issued by name are non-transferrable. Name changes can only be made by issuing a new ticket and are subject to a processing fee of EUR 20.00. Cancellations for legitimate reasons can only be made with the agreement of the air carrier. In the case of cancellations, we charge 20% of the ticket price per person for registration, telephone and administration costs. If tickets, vouchers or tickets that were brokered through agencies (Jollydays, Jochen Schweizer, Mydays, Pro Alps, Gift Idea at, etc.) are cancelled, the brokerage fee to these agencies applies as a cancellation fee.

13. Claims for damages due to weather-related or technical cancellations at the starting point are excluded.

14. The prices apply to the balloon ride, personal certificate, persons and property insurance. The passenger makes a departure appointment with the airline. If the start date is postponed for any reason, eg due to weather conditions, a new date must be agreed. If possible, an alternative date should be specified at the time of booking. If this date is also postponed - the responsibility for this lies solely with the air carrier - another appointment will be made.

15. The air carrier tries to give you information about the execution of the journey. The allocation of seats in the balloon and the selection of the respective balloon type is the responsibility of the air carrier.

16. The agreed travel times according to the current tariff table are approximate times. Depending on the weather situation and the available landing area. Since the balloon is driven by the wind, the air carrier can shorten the journey time in the interest of safety for people and equipment. The minimum journey time is 60 minutes. If the agreed travel time is less than 15 minutes, the operating airline will credit the time as a percentage of the fare for further journeys. These tickets are not transferrable. A cash replacement of the tickets is excluded. If, for reasons beyond the control of the air carrier, a shorter journey time is required, the journey is deemed to have been carried out in accordance with the contract.

17. Place of performance and place of jurisdiction for all claims and legal disputes arising from the contractual relationship is the registered office of the airline.
