The flight that never flew

We booked this trip a week ahead. But unfortunately they needed a min of 3 pax. There were only 2 of us. We waited around a bit hoping that a 3rd person would turn up. But we were not fortunate enough. The staff werent at their best behaviour either. I called to confirm a day earlier and was told to call back the next day. The next day, when I called to confirm, the staff who attended to us was not helpful either. He merely said that they needed 3 people but refused to give us any advice or confirmation on whether we should wait for the flight would be cancelled.

Great basic flight

Took our young kids on this flight and it was great to have a shorter option than most available, as we werent sure how they would react (the kids!). Great pilot and of course the beautiful views :)

Great view of the glacier

The ride was short as expected, but long enough to get a good close up view of the glacier, with its spectacular crevasses and fractured and melting blue ice. The trip is highly weather dependent - the flight after us was canceled because the clouds were getting too low. The pilot was very skilled and gave good commentary, although we struggled to understand a lot of what he said. Not sure if it was the accent or speaking too fast - the headphone audio quality seemed ok. Recommended!
