    We were picked up from our hotel at no extra cost. The flight was very pleasant and the view was breathtaking. The entire team was very friendly. The only downside is that the date can change at the last minute: for example, we had to postpone by two days because too few people had confirmed for the original date. This can be inconvenient when you're on vacation.
