Why travelers love it i
Incredible Experience! - An amazing trip!!! The ride was so easy and serene, beautiful views and lovely crew.
The pickup was seamless from my Airbnb, and they provide coffee/tea and snacks... read more before takeoff. I dressed warmly but left my jacket in the van as it is very warm in the sky!
I am a plus size person, and it was very easy to be weighed and pay the additional fee to fly. Everyone was so respectful and kind
