Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a fantastic first flight in a light plane. Was guided through the experience by Louis, my instructor, who allowed me to do most of the flying. He was friendly, engaging and clearly passionate about flying.
It was a buzz.

What an awesome experience, sight seeing over the City, out towards the Pier and across to Lyttleton and Quail Island and back to Harewood. Our Pilot for the day was Richard and he was excellent. Would definitely recommend, only problem is time goes past too fast. Amazing views of Christchurch and Richard lets you know all through the plane trip different places of interest. A must to do.

We took a 30 minute scenic flight over Christchurch. It was great to see the city at this stage of the rebuild. The mix of empty blocks and new buildings in the CBD is a stark reminder of what happened here. The pilot was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience very enjoyable. In addition it was fascinating experience listening to information from the control tower during take-off and to get a new view of the airport. The flight circled the CBD and then travelled east to the cost before flying over the Port Hills and Lyttelton. I would recommend this flight experience, but it is probably best suited to people who already know Christchurch and its landmarks.

Girlfriend gave me the best birthday gift ever in the form of an aerobatic training flight with Simon. Was without question the most outstanding flying experience I have had the pleasure of enjoying. Simon was great and after talking me through a few manoeuvres with me on the stick, proceeded to demonstrate some of the sorts of things you would expect to see at an airshow. Couldn't get the smile off my face!

For anyone interested in aviation or simply wanting a great flight over the city. These guys are a must. Everyone needs to do an intro flight, who knows... you might just end up making a few visits and doing your first solo. Very professional and yet relaxed and friendly at the same time.
