What this means
Some canyon tours are sold without naming the aircraft, and guests find out at the terminal that they are flying a smaller machine with a different cabin layout. On this tour there is one aircraft type and no substitution — if we cannot fly you on an EC130, we do not fly you, and you are rebooked or refunded.
