How your flight will be arranged
After you have been approved and Angel Flight East has received the completed paperwork, we will start looking for a pilot to volunteer for your flight. Once a pilot has accepted, he or she will contact you directly, and all travel arrangements from that point on will be made between the pilot and you. Generally, the pilot accepting the flight will contact you at least 24hrs in advance. If a pilot cannot be found for your flight, AFE will contact you one business day before the scheduled flight to inform you, unless more notice is specifically requested.
You need to have a back-up plan
Pilots make the final decisions about the execution of their flights. A pilot may delay or cancel because of bad weather or other critical factors. In rare cases, a volunteer for your flight may not be available. For these reasons, we ask our passengers either to have a back-up plan or be able to reschedule their appointments.
Smaller plane, longer travel time
Your flight will be made in a small aircraft that will have four to six seats. These aircraft are not as fast or as large as a commercial airplane, so the flying time to your destination may be a bit longer than you anticipated. Below is what your aircraft may look like:
