such a terrible experience. friendly staff with a horrible manager. They called us an hour before our flight time to say that we were late and we had to pay these ridiculous late fees ($100 per person) and there was 4 of us. there was a storm that rolled in before we got to the helicopter and we had to wait it out and after an hour of waiting they informed us that they will not refund ANY of it. They claimed we ā€œgave up our right for a refund when we came lateā€ $1000 down the drain and they refuse to give it back. super scummy buisness practice and i wouldn’t tell my worst enemy to book with them

Your flight was for 5pm and your check in was at 4:15 our office called you to find out where you were since you never called to let us know that you were going to be late because you did NOT read your the information on your reservation. You checked in at 5:06 and your flight was already gone, technically your flight should've been forfeited as it states on your booking. Since you agreed and paid the late fee of 100.00 per person and we put you up as a courtesy and we also told you that you had 1 year from the booking date to reschedule if you chose to. It customer responsibility to READ and follow directions as provided.
