Select the private package; shared flights combine parties. Weather and wind can cancel flights, with certificates transferable to another date. Confirm capacity, mobility requirements and any proposal arrangements; wedding ceremonies or tethers are not stated. Sharing a public launch area with another operator does not make them the same business; Brookside publishes its own team and booking contact.
