Spectacular Views

Me and my girlfriend were on the lucky end of a free upgrade from our initial 35m flight to the 55m flight, which takes in a larger area of the Southern Alps. We don’t know what we did to deserve that luck but we felt very grateful. Flying conditions were perfect and it’s a surreal experience to fly so close to many sacred peaks and then land on a glacier. Our pilot was calm as a cucumber, easy going and took some nice snaps for us on the glacier. 5 star experience. My only slight note was that we didn’t have headphones on our flight so I had to relay what the pilot was saying to the rest of the guys sitting behind me as the in flight tannoy wasn’t loud enough to override the noise of the propeller. The briefing video did suggest we’d all get headphones so maybe you’d be a bit disappointed if you wanted to hear details and then couldn’t - but this didn’t take away from the overall experience and the way it was handled by the Inflite team.
