While we occasionally offer discounts or promotional pricing, the price at the time of your purchase is final and cannot be adjusted retroactively. Customers acknowledge that prices may vary over time, similar to flights and hotel rates, and that paying a higher price for an earlier purchase does not entitle them to a discount or refund if prices decrease later.

All participants are permitted to bring one guest to share their simulator experience. The guest can sit in the ‘jump seat’ which is situated behind the Captains seat in the cockpit of the simulator where available. Children under the age of 16 should be supervised by a non-flying adult.

Please note that strictly no refunds are offered for the following:
Technical faults – another day will be organised for you, if postponed on the day we usually offer additional time free of charge.
Instructor illness – whilst we will endeavour to find a replacement instructor this is not always possible, you will then be offered another date.
Unusual crisis, unusual weather or act of God – In exceptional circumstances it may be necessary to postpone bookings en-mass, under these circumstances, and once the crisis has passed, another date will be offered. However for any delay beyond 7 days we will freeze the validity date and extend it for the same amount of time as the business is closed.
Skybound Simulations is not liable for any travel or accommodation costs incurred by customers or their guests due to cancellation or postponement of an experience.
Simulator availability
If Skybound Simulations are unable to provide a booked flight simulator session due to circumstances beyond its control, including but not limited to simulator failure, we will do our upmost to offer participants an alternative date subject to Skybound Simulations discretion and simulator availability.
If the flight simulator experience is reduced in whole or in part due to late arrival, motion sickness or any customer delays, Skybound Simulations will not reschedule the flight or provide a refund for time not used in the simulator. If there are technical problems with the simulator that the instructor feels significantly reduce the quality and duration of the experience then the participant will have their time in the simulator increased or offered an alternative date to complete their flight.
By purchasing or redeeming a flight simulator experience or voucher, you acknowledge that the simulator session is dependent on certain factors beyond the control of Skybound Simulations and agree that Skybound Simulations shall not be liable for the cancellation, postponement or alteration of any simulator session for reasons beyond our reasonable control including for weather-related reasons, mechanical failure, location changes or otherwise. The total liability of Skybound Simulations for any claim whatsoever in connection with the simulator session shall be limited to the price paid for the flight simulator experience or voucher.
Video Recording Malfunction
We take every possible measure to ensure all our equipment is kept serviceable which includes our recording facilities. However from time to time this equipment does malfunction and whilst we understand this may be extremely frustrating, this will not stop us from being able to provide you with a complete flight simulator experience. Therefore if upon arrival you find the video or camera facility to be inoperable we will provide a refund for only the video addition purchased, you will not be offered a refund on the actual flight simulator experience or other add-ons that you might have purchased, neither will we rebook the session for another day.
Inclusivity
We welcome the participation of disabled people in our simulators, though we recognise that certain disabilities may present difficulties. We will inform of any particular difficulties to the best of our knowledge at time of enquiry. We are committed to ensuring that disabled customers are given every opportunity to participate, so we ask that you tell us about any relevant disability at the time of enquiry. This enables us to do our best to meet the participant’s particular needs. We will be happy to provide information about any disabled facilities on request.
Complaints
We welcome your feedback or any constructive criticism. If you have a problem, issue, query or complaint during your visit, please bring it to our attention on the day as soon as possible, so that we have a chance to put matters right. If your problem is not resolved on the day, please contact us by email within 3 days of your flight simulator experience, stating your reference, participant name and all booking details, and we will be happy to look in to the matter.
In general, we consider it unreasonable if you take no action on the day, but then make a complaint at a later date.
