Flight Request Acknowledgements

Please read carefully and sign.
Cancelling or Amending Flights*

I will call Miracle Flights with any flight cancellations or changes needed to my original itinerary. I acknowledge that Miracle Flights is the only party that can cancel or amend my flights and I will not contact the airlines directly. Failure to do comply with this may put Miracle Flights and its airline relationships in jeopardy and may result in fewer flights provided to myself and others.
No Call No Show Acknowledgment*

I understand that the airline tickets are provided at no cost to me and/or my family by Miracle Flights. I will contact Miracle Flights as soon as possible to make them aware of any changes that may result in my family not being able to fly on the flights that were provided to us. Therefore, any change or cancellation not pre-approved by Miracle Flights may result in Miracle Flights losing the resources spent on your flights. In the case of a "no call no show" resulting in Miracle Flights losing resources, Miracle Flights may seek financial compensation for the travel costs and/or may deny the patient and their family future program services.
Persons of Size Acknowledgement*

According to the FAA's policy, airlines are required to establish procedures to address the issue of passengers who cannot fit in a single seat with the armrests down. The policy states that if a passenger's body extends beyond their seat and encroaches upon the adjacent seat(s), the passenger may be required to purchase an additional seat or upgrade to a class of service that provides sufficient space. Due to this policy, any individual traveling with Miracle Flights must make our flight department aware if they believe that the patient or an individual they are planning to have travel as an accompanying passenger will be affected by this policy, failure to do so may result in inability to board a scheduled flight
Miracle Flights reserves the right to alter policy in exceptional circumstances.

I am aware that free commercial flights arranged by Miracle Flights are charitable in nature and therefore may occur during off-peak hours and may include stopovers and/or plane changes. I also understand that flights can only be arranged according to Miracle Flights’ guidelines, as follows:
- Service Dog Retrieval and/or Training: Miracle Flights will consider requests to fly the service dog patient (regardless of age) and UP TO one additional parent/legal guardian/family member (up to 2 total passengers).
I am aware that any other accompanying passengers are responsible for their own flight arrangements and understand that these flight arrangements may or may not be compatible with the flight arranged for me by Miracle Flights.

Penalty for false fraudulent statement: U.S.C. Title 18, Sec. 1001 provides: “whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States knowingly and willfully falsifies, or makes false, fictitious or fraudulent statements or
representation or makes or uses any false writing or documentation knowing the same to contain any false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or entry, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.”

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read and understand the information above.
