Great experience with the family

Although there were a few uncertainties from the provider's management beforehand, these were resolved, and we had a wonderful flight with the family. The driver for the pickup was super nice and even gave us some information about Las Vegas. The pilot was very professional and flew perfectly even through minor weather turbulence. We are very happy about this unique experience with a flight over Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.

At Their Mercy

You are at the mercy of other travelers. If they cancel and no one else takes their place, there aren’t enough people to fly. They try to reschedule you again and again. My tour was eventually canceled because I couldn’t have them continuously juggle me around as I had other commitments on my vacation. I was not aware they aren’t very busy and have a hard time filling up a helicopter. My first time being on this side of the country so I was very disappointed.
