In cases where there is not another ski bus or shared transfer service for that day, you will be transfered on the first available ski bus or shared transfer the following day. In cases where the next available shared transfer is not a service direct to your chosen resort , CT will not be held responsible for any extra costs incurred for any additional transfers to your chosen resort due to delayed flights.  Please check your personal travel insurance for delayed flights.
If you know in advance that your flight will be delayed please phone CT immediately and we will endeavour to do our utmost to locate a suitable transfer for you and your party ASAP, although this cannot be guaranteed.  If we cannot find an alternative transfer for you within a reasonable amount of time then you can choose to arrange a taxi yourself from the airport.  Make sure that you request a written receipt from the taxi driver for your own insurance purposes.
