These terms and conditions are an important part of the Flight Simulator Experience
with British Airways Flight Training (BAFT). Please read them carefully before making
your booking or purchasing a voucher. Please note that vouchers are valid for 12 months
from the date of purchase and your flight must be booked before the voucher expires.
1. Who can participate?
Flight Simulator Experiences involve a degree of physical mobility and may not be suitable
for some people. Please check with us at the time of booking if you have any concerns.
Participants must:
- be 14 years or older;
- be accompanied by a responsible adult if under 18 years of age;
- be in good health and free from heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness or other conditions that could be aggravated by the motion of the simulator. It is advised that expectant mothers should not participate;
- be dressed appropriately in smart casual clothing with flat shoes; and
- not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
2. What must you bring with you?
In the interests of security all participants will be required to provide a current passport
and one other form of identification on arrival at the BAFT complex. Failure to provide
adequate identification will result in the refusal of admittance. No refund will be given
in such circumstances.
3. Simulator availability
BAFT reserves the right to move the time of the Flight Simulator Experience on your chosen day
to accommodate instructor or simulator availability. In the rare event of a simulator failure
BAFT will give priority to training professional pilots. This may result in changes to your Flight
Simulator Experience date, time or aircraft type.
If BAFT is unable to provide a Flight Simulator Experience due to simulator failure or other
circumstances beyond its control, participants may choose a simulator upgrade or a £50 discount
if they reschedule to a different day or aircraft type. Where bookings are not made with a voucher,
participants may choose a full refund instead of the experience.
4. Cancellations by participants
Once a Flight Simulator Experience booking has been made there is a £50 charge for participants
cancelling or rescheduling the booking. When rescheduling a booking BAFT will issue a voucher,
valid for 3 months, which will enable the participant to book a new time and date. Cancellations
within 72 hours of a Flight Simulator Experience and "no-shows" are not refundable.
Vouchers are refundable within 30 days of purchase, subject to a £10 administration fee. After 30 days
no refund will be given for a voucher or any booking made with a voucher.
5. Refunds
Any refunds will be paid directly to the debit/credit card that was used for payment.
6. Curtailment
If the Flight Simulator Experience duration is reduced due to the participant (e.g. motion sickness,
toilet breaks, late arrival) then no refund will be given. If there are technical problems with the
simulator that significantly reduces the quality and/or duration of the Flight Simulator Experience
the participant will receive an appropriate refund, to be determined by BAFT, acting reasonably.
7. Personal Data
I agree that the personal data provided to British Airways in connection with this booking can be
stored by British Airways in accordance with the data protection act and may be provided to government
authorities in the interests of aviation security.
8. General
BAFT’s liability to any participant for any financial loss a participant may suffer as a result of
BAFT’s breach of these terms and conditions shall not be greater than the amount of fees paid by the
participant for the Flight Simulator Experience. However, BAFT does not exclude or limit liability
to any participant for death or personal injury resulting from BAFT’s negligence. The booking form and
these terms and conditions form the entire contract for the provision of Flight Simulator Experiences by
BAFT. These terms and conditions and the provision of the Flight Simulator Experiences are governed by
English law and BAFT and the participants shall submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the appropriate
UK courts.
