Much shorter then advertised.

The flight was great but I bought this particular flight because it was for 30 minutes. We were barely in the air for 10 minutes and from walking to the Helicopter to walking away was a maximum 20 minutes.

To whom it may concern, we are required to provide a total experience time to enable those who are booking an understanding of how long they will need to set aside to enjoy the experience offered. We do also stipulate the flight time as a separate piece of information, because just like any flight on any aircraft, the total experience is never equal to the flight time. Safety briefings are a mandatory requirement as is warming the engine and placing the required radio calls to the air tower for takeoff and landing clearance. We are sorry to hear you are disappointed, but we are not "hiding" any information nor charging a higher price for a longer flight. A survey of other flights over the Brisbane CBD versus the cost to provide them will reveal that the price for the flight time provided is great value and is the best price on the market.

Amazing experience

Very friendly and informative staff! I had a flight with Geoff (pilot) over Brisbane CBD and surroundings. Spectacular and breath-taking views 🤩 PS for photographers I would recommend using special filters to minimise windscreen reflection.

Thank you for your wonderful review and helpful insight for photographers Dmitry, we work very hard to provide an amazing experience flying over the Brisbane CBD.

This flight provides a great view of Brisbane city. Our pilot showed us a number of landmarks of interest too.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thanks for your great review Tim, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your flight over the Brisbane CBD. It is always interesting to see the city from a different perspective and it is certainly spectacular from above.

First timers!

First time on a heli and it was awesome, gotta say the best part was flying just over the city. For tips, just make sure you take in the view as much as your taking the pics.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thanks for your wonderful review Salome and a great tip for future passengers, it is always nice to take some pictures to remember your experience, but so important to enjoy the experience itself!

Awesome experience

Booked a half hour flight but got just over 10 minutes. I understand a few minutes short but not a 3rd we were not even on the premises for 30 minutes. Lovely pilot

Poor service and cancellation policy

Nitin_G, Jan 2022

As i got a call from the operator that the the flight tour is cancelled due to bad weather. But they gave me a call 1 hour before the departure timing and i was already reached to the location with my family. As in case of bad weather cancellation you could have give me the full refund in case of gift voucher as i came from interstate and dont know when we will come back again. Experience and service was very bad and i will strongly tell everyone in my group not to book any tour from your company.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Good Afternoon Nitin, I wish to extend my sincerest apologies for your flight cancellation due to weather. As you can imagine, with everything in regards to aviation, bad weather can have a massive effect on the safety and security of our passengers whilst they are onboard our aircraft. With regards to us cancelling and issuing a flight credit 1 hour before your flight, this is due to how variable weather can be on certain days, and we prefer to see what the weather is really doing before cancelling on customers and preventing their flight from going ahead - which quite often people plan months in advance! sometimes we are able to just delay your flight for a few minutes, other times we have to make the unfortunate decision to post-pone your flight. Thank you for your feedback, both good and bad feedback can be used to improve our business going forward which we appreciate very much from our customers. I have taken your feedback and passed it on to the relevant team. Many thanks, Thomas @ V2 Helicopters
