REFUNDS : No refunds will be given for any unused flight time (Hobbs), for ANY reason*. Pulseline makes large & non-refundable financial commitments months prior to your trip, regardless of the unknown future weather/illness/injury/etc. Consequently, they aren’t able to offer any refunds as this would cause irreversible financial damage to the company. They require you to purchase third-party trip insurance. In the event that you are unable to use all of your flight time, for any reason, trip insurance may cover all or part of your financial losses. We recommend IMG Travel Insurance and AIG Travel Guard Plus.
*ANY reason includes, but is not limited to weather or snow conditions, skier/rider ability, poor fitness, injuries, illnesses, mechanical issues with the helicopter, etc. – Required trip insurance can help protect your investment.
