amazing experience with GLSH. we faced weather issues and our original booking date was a no fly day. The GLSH team worked tirelessly to find an alternative and did so with spectacular success. The pilot Kurt was very friendly but reassuringly professional , and provided a wealth of interesting information through the flight. The adminastrative team all provided superb service. The flight itself was mind blowing !
