The costs for mountain railway rides and the like are not included in the ticket price. All other travel costs that may arise due to weather conditions are also not included in the price. If fixed dates are not met, the entire fee for the flight must be paid.The pilot determines the handling of the flight. He is always responsible for the execution of the flight.We expressly point out that despite fixed dates, there is no entitlement to the implementation of tandem flights if the prevailing weather conditions in the flight area do not allow this. In the event of a postponement or short-term cancellation, there is no entitlement to compensation, reimbursement or reimbursement of other expenses incurred. The right to catch up on the flight remains, however.Weather-related cancellations do not have to be proven – the professional assessment of the responsible pilot is sufficient.The stated flight duration is an estimate. This flight duration can vary. The flight route, the landing site and the flight times can be changed at any time, primarily for safety or operational reasons, without the passenger being entitled to compensation.

Risk information: We point out that with tandem paragliding, even with the greatest care, accidents with significant consequences of injury (e.g. sprains, broken bones, spinal injuries, concussions, in extreme cases death, etc.) cannot be ruled out. There is an increased risk especially during take-off and landing due to incorrect landing, occurrence or falls.
12. Final provisions: After purchasing a ticket from Falken Air, after redeeming a voucher or after being issued orally, the passenger has concluded a contract with Falken Air.
