Don't get the middle seat! That's a rip-off...

1.005 people in a helicopter and one person who pays the same as everyone else on the flight gets squashed between 2 big guys in the centre seat, 4 inches less headroom and no view with someone leaning forward to take a movie or a photo for the whole trip. Add to that you pay extra for a locker and can't hear the pilot because of 3 different air traffic controllers all on the same frequency. Poor experience, wouldn't recommend for the amount of money paid!!! Fly with another company.
