Positives:

A truly memorable experience! I went on a short scenic tour over Vancouver and I loved it. The crew were very kind and helpful, particularly with boarding and alighting the aircraft with my sight loss. The flight was extremely enjoyable and the views were mesmerising. A must-do, unique experience when visiting the city.

Wearing the headphones and listening to air traffic control added to the experience, and the views were some of the ...

From above, we had a stunning aerial view of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, and the diverse landscapes stretching out into the suburbs. Takeoff and landi...
