From Pilots Choice - 35mins 2 Glaciers Scenic Flight
Thanks for the feedback. We require a minimum of 4 passengers for a flight to depart. If there weren't 4 people booked on your flight we would have offered you another option. The early to midafternoon is often the quietest time of the day. This doesn't mean other flights weren't going after you that may have been different lengths or we had last minute bookings come in. We'd rather contact people to move them to a confirmed flight than wait till their check in time and then tell them they flight has been cancelled if minimum numbers weren't met. I'm glad you enjoyed the flight and thank you for coming in earlier!

Einzigartiges Erlebnis
Wir waren sind von dem Rundflug total begeistert zurückgekehrt! Wegen des Wetters erfolgte die Landung auf dem Shackelton Glacier und anschließend haben wir den Franz Josef überflogen. Da hat sich auch das einstündige Warten auf den Abflug gelohnt. Eine ganz klare Empfehlung !

Cool! 😎
Der Heli-Flug war sensationell 🤩 Und da meine DE-Telefonnr. in NZ nicht funktioniert, war es klasse, dass die Kommunikation via WhatsApp möglich war (habe eine eSim). Etwas merkwürdig fand ich, dass ich eine Bestätigung für meinen Flug um 1pm erhielt, aber dann eine Nachricht erhielt, dass mein Flug nicht bestätigt ist und dass um 11am noch ein Platz frei sei. Ich bin zum früheren Abflug, aber nach mir gab es weitere Flüge!? Und die MitarbeiterInnen im Office waren mehr geschäftsmäßig als freundlich. Daher nur 4 Sterne. Der Pilot war aber super und wie gesagt, der Flug selber grandios!
