Rola s. (Posted on 8/18/11)Hi,
- When you answered Bharat M by saying OR does it mean that it might not happen- we might not be able to fly the plane? because there's a big difference in sitting next to the pilot and flying the plane ourselves...
- If for some reason, we don't pass the security clearance, do we get our money back?
Thanks
Rola
GoNabit Reply:
Hi Rola,
The voucher entitles you to fly the plane OR ride as a passenger. For your second question, we'd rather that you get in touch with them first before buying the voucher as we want you to be able to experience this great deal.
