Hi Jyran! Was awesome having you fly with us too!

kateyy from New Zealand wrote on 14 July 2021

Awesome!

I had such a brilliant time. I smiled ear to ear the whole flight. The pilot, Jay, was informative and made us feel safe. Panoramic views from the snowfield landing followed by a flight to my cook and Tasman and then sweeping over the glaciers. Amazing!
