Q: How much advance notice do you need prior to take-off?
A: We will generally require 24 hour minimum time frame
to put our crews and equipment into place. Of Course --
the more advance notice we get - the better.
Q: What airports do you use?
A: We service almost any open airport or airstrip
available in the US and Mexico, dirt or paved. We
can suggest departure and arrival points based on
your itinerary. Your convenience is our prime
focus.
Q: How much baggage and equipment can I bring?
A: The amount of baggage allowed will depend on the
distance we will be flying and the approximate weight
of each passenger in your party. When flying small
aircraft, the weight and balance of the passengers
and luggage are critical to the safe performance of
the airplane. We will collect this information from you
when learning about your project and let you know
how much baggage and equipment is allowed.
Q: How do I pay?
A: Oceans Aloft accepts transactions in U.S. dollars
only. Checks drawn on a U.S. bank, Visa, Mastercard,
and Purchase Orders are all accepted means of payment.
Q: Will the aircraft wait for me? How does this work?
A: The aircraft is scheduled according to the needs of
the project. Based on your itinerary, and cost factors,
we will decide whether it is most efficient for the
aircraft to wait for you or whether it should return
for you at a later date. Generally speaking, for one
and two day trips -- it is almost always more economical
for the aircraft to wait. Longer trips (in days, and
mileage) are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Q: How do I get to the airport?
A: Private car service and rental cars are easily
arranged. Additionally, directions to your originating
airport will be provided with your itinerary.
Q: Is there airport parking?
A: Airport parking is available and usually free at general aviation airports.
Q: What documents will I need to fly internationally?
A: Each passenger will be required to carry a passport.
The pilot is legally required to make
certain that you have these documents prior to boarding the aircraft. Boarding will
be denied if you do not have one of these documents.
