thomasw7 said... The helicopter flight, land on the glacier, and return helicopter flight were absolutely astounding and I can't rate them highly enough. The pilot was lovely. It was great to be able to do this for a reduced cost compared to usual. Before the flight was much less good. You are told to arrive an hour before the flight. 10mins before this (so we'd already arrived), our flight was delayed by another hour, so we had 2hours to wait. Also informed it would be helicopter only as too windy for the plane. I felt we had essentially paid extra for the experience to have both vehicles, so understand the safety concerns but felt short-changed, as no other info was given about this. Eventually arrived 30mins before our new time as advised, but had to wait about 50mins before flying. Essentially lost the whole morning to sitting waiting for the flight to happen with minimal information. Basically, I would book your trip knowing that the time and nature of it could be changed at very short notice.
