I decided to do a helicopter ride on a date with someone I’m still relatively early on in getting to know. The people coordinating seating in the helicopter put my date and I in entirely different parts of the helicopter. Before doing so I asked if there was any other way to safely position the passengers to make it work and the answer was yes, but that this was the easiest way. While it was still an interesting experience, a helicopter ride is expensive, it’s a once in a lifetime thing, and because of the coordinator’s inflexibility (and he could of done the seating differently and still been safe), it wasn’t as positive an experience as my date and I hoped for - and therefore at the end of the day wasn’t worth it.

Hello I1595HV,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you did not have a good time. Seating arrangement is done to achieve balance. All passengers are asked to hop on a scale, then all weights are entered into a software program. We adhere to safety first that's why we follow what the program recommends. Our sincerest apologies that this did not work out for you.
Thank you.
