Other reviews mentioned that their flight got cancelled the day of and I just received a text letting me know our flight was cancelled (even though I already had cancelled with the owner a month ago- goes to show you how unorganized this company is). Please save yourself the hassle and do not purchase a flight here. I also asked the owner to refund the headphone rental which he never did.

I emailed them explaining my issue and mentioned I had a Groupon and would like to make a reservation. I received an email back almost immediately letting me know that they only make reservations online and if I can't make a reservation, then it must be fully booked. I found it odd they said it could only be booked online considering they have a phone line for reservations. Regardless I sent an email back explaining that the page didn't even load, I couldn't even pull up a reservation page and even sent a screenshot. I didn't hear anything back... which I also thought strange because they responded to my first email in a minute. Don't let them give you the run around!!

Our pilot was nice, and we felt very comfortable with him at the helm. We saw some beautiful views of Atlanta. Neither of us had ever been in a helicopter before so it was just a really cool different experience. If you have the money, you can actually rent one of their jets for $10,000 an hour. He said it has enough fuel to take you to Europe on one tank. I'm wondering who can afford that but it sounds pretty amazing. I think if you're looking for something different to do and to see Atlanta from a different vantage point, this is your place. Thank you Prestige!

Hubs and I celebrated our anniversary with a helicopter ride around Atlanta over the summer. We…read morepurchased a Groupon deal. The deal had two options: over Atlanta or over Lake Lanier. We chose Atlanta. Booking was easy and went smoothly. The staff was very friendly over the phone and in person. Blue Ridge Helicopter is located at Gwinnett Airport in Lawrenceville. The first date we chose unfortunately didn't work out. Heavy rain was expected that afternoon. Our pilot Chris did not recommend us flying that afternoon and asked if we were open to rescheduling. We rescheduled for a couple of weeks ahead and the weather was perfect! Chris is experienced and was very knowledgeable of Atlanta history and landmarks. They informed us that if we wanted to book again in the future, we would pay the same Groupon rate. Very competitive to other helicopter tours!

We booked a 1-hour sunset helicopter tour and were quoted a flat rate of $600 for two people. The…read moreflight itself was beautiful -- the views were incredible and something we'll always remember. Unfortunately, the experience ended on a disappointing note due to communication and billing issues. When we arrived, we discovered there was an additional 2.7% credit card fee that had not been disclosed ahead of time. More concerning, about 30 minutes into the flight the pilot descended to land because he believed we had booked only a 30-minute ride. We were surprised because we had clearly scheduled a 1-hour sunset flight two months earlier, and our name was even listed on the schedule board for a one-hour tour. After we clarified the misunderstanding, we went back up and completed the full flight. However, when we landed, we were told the total would now be $775 because we had gone slightly over the hour -- even though the extra time resulted from the earlier misunderstanding, not from any request on our part. After discussion, the total was slightly reduced, but we still ended up paying more than the original quoted amount. I'm sharing this mainly so future customers can be prepared to ask questions about timing, billing policies, and additional fees before flying. The actual flight was scenic and memorable, but the end result left us disappointed.

Where do I begin.

I booked this last month 9/30, to be exact. I understood that any weather events etc. may result in a reschedule and I was willing to take that chance. I called the 677-2700 number the day before to confirm we were good to go and was greeted with a voicemail that said for a faster response to text that same number and I did, no response, I should've known, I never received a return call to either the call or text and was told they had no record of either when we showed up for the flight (has that ever happened to you? Not me and I live and die by my phone for work). I have screen shots of all these calls and texts. I called another number (the day of) listed on the confirmation receipt that went to voicemail after three rings and again another text that said they were on another call and to text for a response, this was one hour before flight time, no response. I called and called again only to get a text, finally, that the plane was in maintenance and i would have to reschedule, 20 minutes before our scheduled flight. My drive was two hours plus in Atlanta traffic ONE WAY for this. The suite they give you at the airport has almost zero mention of this company and there was no one there, I was told by the person (that never gave their name) that they had purchased the company from the prior owner with all the details of the squabbles resulting from this change in ownership. I don't care about any of that. Ask yourself before booking with these folks, I presume a loved one will be 10k plus feet in the air with you, would you trust them with that responsibility? This booking is an automated process, they have my email, my cell number, about anyway you could hope to contact me. If you're going to tell me the plane is in maintenance, wouldn't you, as a business owner, look at what you have booked and contact those people in advance to inform them given this was known well before? So I ask you again, do you want to be in a plane, with a loved one owned and operated by people that conduct their business in this manner? If you do, I pray for you. Maybe my girl and I dodged a bullet but they ruined something for someone so special. I ask you to look at the prices, this is not a cheap endeavor and in this day and age to not be able to communicate effectively is inexcusable. This is not a traveling fair, this is serious business so take this for what its worth. Hit me up if you want/can, I'll share all the texts. I'll be contacting all proper authorities to look into these people, hell, I've done Ifly and there was more professionalism and safety involved than anything i experienced with Biplane Rides over Atlanta by far. Best of luck. Be Safe, RN
