7. Must I follow the schedule? What happens if your flight is late?
The flight + van + ferry transfer is a seamless service that ensures you arrive at your island destination without troublesome transits. You will not be able to take time out to stop for long periods of time in between each transfer. The airline reserves the right to fix the schedule of your travel, you may only choose from the travel times available according to your itinerary.
If our flight is late we will coordinate with the van and ferry providers to adjust the time accordingly so that you will still be able to get to your island destination.
