• The certificate is valid for one year from the date of issue.
• As yet don't have information about availability of specific dates. Blimp Flight rides are subject to availability, e.g. if there is a specific sports event going on, the blimp may be in service covering that event subject to contractual obligations of Goodyear and various TV networks - it is the responsibility of the certificate owner to contact Goodyear and make a reservation for their flight.
• The flight is guaranteed for 30 minutes but typically lasts an hour. The pilot determines the route, but it generally is from the base to the port area in Long Beach, or along the coastline for example.
• The certificate may also be redeemed at the Pompano Beach base in Florida, subject to availability.
