I wish i could give zero stars… first of all you have to book and pay even if you know it’s very likely that you can’t find a second person taking that flight- so it got cancelled..
and when they refund you- they refund you even 20€ ( that’s 31$) less back- I think that’s the credit card surcharge but if they do it with every customer- the only one who is happy is the bank… so please change the pre- pay condition if there are several conditions which may result in a cancellation of the flight!

Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear your flight was cancelled. Due to operational procedures and the rising cost of fuel, unfortunately they have to set a minimum number required on all of their Helicopter trips

Hey Brian,

Thanks so much for your question! Helicopter Flights with Heli Adventure Flights operator all year round but flights may be cancelled due to bad weather on the day of the flight. The helicopter can fit 3 passengers per flight and we need a minimum of 2 people to confirm the trip so you should be all good to go! If you can get in touch with us we would be more than happy to help you get that flight secured - [email protected].

Cheers
