Was fantastic, I got to sit shot gin in the front seat! Would highly recommend, the staff were all lovely including the ladies in the shop, the polite and the men pulling the planes in, even without the front seat experience I think eveyone was able to get a very clear view and it’s was great
This flight is far out of my expectation. This glacier is so amazing that hit straight into my heart! I strongly recommend you should take this flight to see what is the wonders of the Mother Nature. We also need to appreciate this is the last land in the earth
First class company. First class equipment. I felt safe and secured as I was treated to the best views that I could only have imagined in a dream. If you miss this you have really missed out on something special.
Despite the bad weather, it was a great experience and very impressive! We would recommend it to everyone! Great team...smooth processing and communication!
Wings booking office is extremely easy location to find close to cruise dock. Very organised at check in. Absolutely fantastic experience, I was lucky enough to sit upfront with the pilot. The views are exceptional & for me it was truly exhilarating. 10/10 highly recommended.
So fun, I would take this flight again. Enjoyed every second. The glaciers were fantastic and the lakes were lovely.
Lovely views of the glaciers and it was awesome on the plane. I've never taken off and landed on the water before. A great experience! And the pilot was cute!
Excellent!!! Don’t hesitate-take this tour. Sooooo awesome. The plane ride was smooth. Seeing the Goa jets from this view was fabulous
This was a truly unforgettable experience. My husband sat in the jump seat and I in the back. The views were breathtaking and the commentary informative. We thought it was well worth the money. Communication with Wings Air was brilliant. Days before our arrival in Juneau they let us know there was a cancellation later in the day we were visiting. They were quick to respond to questions and emails I sent. Very happy trippers. My husband loves his Wings Air cap and t-shirt too! A well oiled operation who I recommend wholeheartedly.
It was fantastic, well worth the cost. Would happily do it again. Flight felt very safe and super friendly pilot and staff
