“Helicopter flight over London ”
This was the best thing I have ever done. My first off my bucket list. The ground staff at battersea heliport were excellent and the pilot gets full marks from me.
“Birthday ruined ”
Lack of communication, office closed on arrival, time changed, one day emailed me to say flight cancelled a later email flight reinstated. NO SECURITY CHECK, but were advised it was heightened security! would not recommend to anyone. At no point told it was only a 10 minute flight until received final email from company. Flight was late “due to problems getting out of Gatwick” allegedly? Told to get coffee in nearby hotel, stood outside office with no access to waiting area. A BAD EXPERIENCE!
