Pretty disappointed really. Got canceled because of minimum travers is two. Where i had me and my 3 year old son (who was really looking foward to it) which they considered not two people. Then tried conning me into purchasing a ticket for him even though it says on there site 3 year olds dont need a ticket. Come on guys dont be so money hungry. You ruined my sons day. Also maybe ring people a bit earlier than the day before its meant to happen they can reorganize another flight with a company that doesnt just do it for money.

most enjoyable, starting from the briefing to take off and the flight, the highlight was the tour of the facilities and the understanding of the training, the interaction with other services, and to witness preparation and the organization of emergency services. our family left with a greater understanding, of the organization that our farm business supports, by annual subscription. Thank you and, Regards Peter Withell,on behalf of Raywell Farm Ltd.
