Flight never happened

1.00Flight was canceled 1 hour before we were set to arrive. It was meant to be the highlight of our vacation and we planned everything around it. Woke up and packed up at 4am just to get a text at 5:45 that the flight was cancelled. Pilot stated it was due to the weather but by 7am the sky’s were clear. I called him and was told it was due to cloud cover. It sounded to me like he was just waking up. I’m not a pilot but I do have 20/20 eye sight and there were no clouds at 7am when we were meant to meet at 6:45 am. I spent $770 on a 3 hour experience that never happened and now expect a full return of my money.
It was wonderful!!! It...
