• Seaplanes only fly during daylight hours, i.e. between about 0600hrs and 1800hrs.
• International airline policy requires passengers to check in no later than 2 hours before flight time, therefore a guest can connect to international flights departing VelanaInternational Airport only after 0900hrs.

• The seaplane allowance for checked-in luggage is 20 kg while carry-on luggage is 5kg per person, above which there will be an excess charge of US$5.00 per kg. In extraordinary circumstances, luggage may be transported by a later flight (as per safety regulations and TMA policies & procedures).
• In rare instances, due to circumstances beyond the control of TMA and/or Vilamendhoo, such as unfavorable weather conditions, the seaplane may depart earlier or later than scheduled to/from Vilamendhoo, in which case, neither TMA nor Vilamendhoo assume liability for any related expenses incurred by guests.
