Großartige Aussicht, leider seltsam zu Kunden

Ich habe über bookme die 35Min gebucht, da der Preis super war. Am Abend davor habe ich angerufen, da hieß es, es sind bisher nicht genügend Leute für meinen Flug, eventuell fliege ich dann etwas früher oder später. Kein Problem, hab Zeit eingeplant. Dann am nächsten Tag hieß es, dass es keine 4 Leute für den Flug zu meiner Uhrzeit gibt, ich aber früher kommen kann für nur 20 Minuten. Das bookme Geld würde uch natürlich zurück bekommen, dafür dann "nur" den regulären Preis für die 20 Minuten direkt vor Ort bezahlen. Ähh. Hallo?! Die regulären 20 Minuten sind fast genauso teuer wie die 35 Min mit dem Discount. Ich habe es also abgelehnt und gefragt, ob es nicht später noch Flüge gibt, ich habe Zeit. Die Antwort war "nein, später als 10.30 am Morgen gibt es keine Buchung, sorry. Aber ich soll in na Stunde nochmal anrufen". Das Wetter war mega gut, Sonne satt, keine Wolke am Himmel. Konnte mir das gar nicht vorstellen, dass niemand fliegt. Hab ne Stunde später wieder angerufen, heißt es auf einmal, alles super, ich soll in 2 Std.da sein. Als ich dort ankam, war es brechend voll. Ein Heli nach dem nächsten ist gestartet. Von keine Buchungen oder zu wenig Leuten keine Spur. Ich war dann die mit dem "bookme". Im Nachhinein weiß ich ,dass die versucht haben, mich für den regulären Preis auf den kurzen Flug zu packen, um so den Rabatt auszuhebeln. Was ich echt unverschämt finde, wenn man bedenkt, dass ich hier in dem Land weit über 2000 Dollar für Aktivitäten lasse und echt nicht knausrig bin. Aber sowas find ich mies. Der Flug ansich war super, alle super nett und ich hatte sogar den Platz neben dem Piloten. Hammer Aussicht, tolles Gefühl. Kann das jedem empfehlen, nur Vorsicht ,falls sie es bei euch auch versuchen.

Super immer wieder !

Toller Rundflug mit Landung im Schnee! Und das mitten im Sommer! Wir sind zu Viert geflogen, somit hatten wir einen Hubschrauber fuer uns allein. Alle waren sowas von begeistert.Auch der Pilot Super freundlich und nett. Also wer das Geld hat, ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen! Empfehlung :Nicht so viel Fotos machen und den Flug genießen!

Alpine Explorer35 Min Scenic Flight Snow Landing

On Arrival at the company involved, this company made the decision to cancel the flight due to the situation. I was the only one who had a booking. I requested a refund in full due to the non-operational condition.
