  9. There are times when many fliers are requesting a particular hour that FlyNYON might not have enough seats to fulfill the demand including, but not limited to, holidays, popular Focus Flights, and premium time slots like Sunset that may cause basic fares to appear higher than advertised. In these cases of high demand, prices will increase to organically push passengers to a time slot that might be more conducive to our operational bandwidth. This system is called ‘dynamic or surge pricing’, and it allows FlyNYON to continue to operate safely and efficiently during our busiest times.
  10. Passengers may be subject to pay surcharges should they reschedule a flight to a time slot impacted by dynamic or surge pricing, a premium time slot (Sunset/Night), or any other instances where their initial booking does not cover the cost of their new booking.
  11. If you purchased or have been gifted a Buy Now Schedule Later, Groupon voucher, or received a rescheduling voucher, you may be subject to a surcharge to cover the difference in fare due to dynamic or surge pricing in effect after your initial purchase.
