Flights are canceled or rescheduled for safety in high winds, rain, or poor visibility; operators usually offer full refunds or alternate dates when weather forces a cancellation.
Most operators ask for passenger weights for balance and safety and may set an upper weight limit or require solo bookings for heavy passengers; children are allowed but must be supervised—check the operator’s policy when booking.
