In the meantime the booking request is listed on the calender so others can find it and list themselves on the same date. You will be notified when the helicopter is full. You may also register yourself on an alreday listed flight, so chances increases to fill up all seats. When the flight is full, it is removed from the calnedar and the order is sent to a helicopter in the region. Please note that Gift Certificates are valid on saturdays only.

If there are not enough passengers on a flight, a new date must be entered. The portal is an automatic self service program and there is no way for the program to know if a user is in the area for a limited time or is a tourist. This is described in details in Terms & Conditions and it is not possible to completeca payment before these terms are read , understood and accepted by the buyer.

I cannot find any tours on the calendar ?

Only flights that are NOT full are listed on the calendar. (5 passengers). When the flight is full, it is taken off the calendar and sent to the helicopter companies in the region.

There are no fixed times for tours. Only on order. The calendar therefore does not show all flights that go, but only those that are waiting to be filled up to 5 passengers.
If you are less than 5 people, your order will be placed on the calendar with an indication of how many seats have been booked and how many are available.
Others can then sign up so that the flight request is sent to a helicopter company.

If you find a flight on the calendar that you are interested in, you can sign up to help fill up the helicopter.
