Do it, do it, do it!!
If you’ve ever wanted to take a flight tour of a city, this is THE way to do it!!! It was a convenient place to get to from the French Quarter (about 20 minutes each way, quick & easy Uber). The employees were beyond friendly - we LOVED our pilot Everett!!!! He juggled so many responsibilities at once with such ease and grace.
Great wine, great cheese, great flight & tour, and an overall fantastic time! Five stars all around. Seriously, you won’t regret booking this.

Amazing Flight!
Fantastic! We had the best time, and we were even in the air longer than planned because of the weather. Our tour guide was so nice and helpful! He was a local, so he knew everything about NOLA!
