Worthwhile

It was an awesome time and we both enjoyed the experience. We would highly recommend The Helicopter Line.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our helicopter flight and landing experience. Our pilot Scotty was amazing. We went early November and there was still plenty of snow at the summit (knee deep) Kids had a blast sinking and falling over and we were able to capture some beautiful photos together. Totally recommend, you could not come to Queenstown and not do this!!!

Not good

They changed my booking time without communicating with me. They made 6 people on board but the room is only enough for 4 people. I had to squeezed really hard while seeing the views. Not enjoyable:( I will not recommend it to my friends.

From Queenstown 20 Minute Scenic Flight & Alpine Landing - Pilots Special - The Helicopter Line

Hi, We’re sorry you didn’t enjoy your experience with us. We explained in your confirmation email that your booking time had changed due to availability. We apologize for any misunderstanding. Our helicopters can take up to 6 passengers depending on everyone’s weights and if you haven’t requested a private charter there’s a chance more people will be booked on with your group. We hope the views at your landing site made up for your seating arrangement.

10 minute scenic flight

My daughter and I flew on the '25 minute scenic flight and landing' as a 21st birthday gift from her Grandparents. We flew for a few minutes up to the top of the nearby mountain - (WOW, just beautiful!!) and landed for 10 minutes watching other people's children play in the snow but then flew straight down again to the airport. I was expecting to fly over the area and lake a little, see some things not visible from the road, and certainly not be landed for most of the flight time. I was really disappointed to be honest - it was a fizzer to finish our otherwise amazing holiday in Queenstown (and ironically, was the most expensive thing we did). I feel like I paid $300 to benefit someone else's children :-( The staff were lovely, the check in process was slick and professional and the pilot was friendly and knowledgeable. I just don't think I got value for money this time around.

From Queenstown 20 Minute Scenic Flight & Alpine Landing - Pilots Special - The Helicopter Line

Hi Suzanne, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that you weren’t satisfied with your flight. The flight you were on was our standard Pilots Choice flight. Each of our flights includes a 10 minute landing. Double Cone, one of the highest landing sites in the Queenstown area at 6,500 feet. As the flight was not a private charter, it is more than likely other passengers will be on the flight with you. Thank you for acknowledging our team, we’re glad they made a good impression. Our apologies that you feel this way about your flight and we do appreciate your feedback. If there is anything more we can do, please let us know. We hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Queenstown.
