prior to your departure time that prevents you from travelling, we will refund you the cost of your
ticket. Claims must be made within a 48 hour period, from 24 hours before the original departure
time, right up to 24 hours after the original departure time.
We may either provide a refund through credit card or to a nominated bank account, or rebook you onto our next available service also.
