A staff member stood at a table and ate breakfast, totally unprofessional. We arrived early and they put us on the next flight to fill the helicopter with 4 other large males. We had to pay extra at the office instead of it being included in the price, poor management, wonder how much of the US$80 went under the table? We paid US$1,000 so Frank Sinatra could sing New York New York as the rest of the commentary was in a foreign language. Had we known we would have bought a good bottle of bubbles and had him sing to us in our lounge room. Told us to help ourselves to coffee but we had to pay an extra US$5 for cheap coffee. Not value for money, could not recommend this company. Very very disappointed.

An exceptional experience and with a lot of security. Too bad the air time was less than the contracted time.
