An unforgettable experience! - The tour was amazing and absolutely breathtaking. The staff was super friendly and organised everything well, even though my original flight had been cancelled due to bad weather. Luckily I was able to reschedule the flight. It was an unforgettable experience which I’d definitely do again. Thank you so much!

Less comfortable - Great views, but when we booked the flight we were promised a 4 people flight to be more comfortable, we also had to wait extra time to get this option. Unfortunately at the end another 2 people were placed with us and there for the flight was less comfortable and obstructed views

Great experience but poor customer service - The flight was amazing. The pilot was friendly and gave a great commentary. Amazing views. The service prior to the flight really needs to be better. We booked our flight at least three months in advance. We received confirmation emails periodically. One a week before and then one the day before confirming the flight. Later on the day prior to our flight we received an email saying that we had been rescheduled to a later flight with no explanation. We called into the office in Glentanner and were told that we were moved as there were not enough people for the flight at the time we requested and that the flight had never been confirmed for that time. The day of the flight we discovered that the flight time we originally requested did fly. Obviously we were just bumped for convenience to get more bums on seats. An honest discussion about the real reason for changing our flight time would be a far better approach than just moving us for your convenience without any consultation.
