They cancelled the flight. They gave me no plausible reason and I am extremely disappointed. The weather was gorgeous. So they made me loose my day.

Hello Valeria, We are very sorry to hear you were disappointed in your Tour being cancelled that day. This is definitely not what we want our customers to experience! As stated on our website, Tours are cancelled for a variety of reasons: weather, visibility, security, restricted airspace, circumstances beyond our control and the like. Our Operations Team evaluates every variable before flight and if they deem it necessary to reschedule, delay or cancel the Tour, they will do so out of an abundance of caution. This ensures that every Tour is a safe and successful flight. In cases where a Tour is cancelled, we will issue a full refund (which was done in your case) with our sincerest apology. At Zip Aviation your safety comes first. Thank you.
