The pilot, Ethan, and flight were superb, however, we had just entered the Grand canyon, flew just below the rim for a couple of minutes then landed.
Bus transfers to the sky bridge was easy almost no one there when we arrived, 6 in total on the helicopter.
The sky bridge is very small, so distorted perspective in the promotion photos.
You can't take a camera, risk of dropping into the canyon, that is reasonable, however, a team of photographers, get you to pose in multiple ways.
They left us alone for 5 mins then we were rushed off of the bridge, still almost no other visitors.
No real opportunity to take in the views.
The rest of the site has high fencing preventing opportunities to take our own photos, apart from one section where you can't see the river.
The charge for the sky bridge at 5 star is $136 per person - at the site around $70.
For an experience we may never get a chance to rectify, by going deeper into the canyon and flying around the rocks, we think over £1,200 (via a UK travel agent) is far too high a price to pay for a couple from this provider.
The only purpose appears to be to get visitors to buy photos, not to let them experience the moment.
Our most disappointing trip to date.
