I learned Dean Ellis shut down operations abruptly and I can't get a refund.Apparently Dean also owes his former employees money but he disappeared. I tried contacting multiple people to get a refund but they were unable to help. What a shitty thing to do.

I called on Mon. to schedule a lesson and was told Liz would call me back. I didn't hear from Liz so I wrote an e-mail on Thurs to which they did not respond. On Friday, I tried again - - no response. I'm disappointed in the poor customer experience but incredulous at the poor business sense. I'll take my business elsewhere. You blew it.

Jimmy did a wonderful job! The hotels he chose for us at each destination were perfect! The Ferry rides from island to island which can be intimidating even for a Greek went without a hitch! Jimmy even found us a last minute hotel in Athens on a Sunday when their office is closed when we couldn't stay with relatives ....Thank you again Jimmy and Olympia Express!:) Kathy M

All went smoothly, with highly informative tours and some of the best hotels in Europe. Every hotel was beautiful, comfortable, and clean as a whistle. Best of all, the personnel at every hotel were warm and friendly and deeply hospitable. We were always made to feel like honored guests, and we are grateful to have been treated with such graciousness. Olympia Express did a great job for us, and we already look forward to our next trip to Greece.

A truly sentimental place as the airport is located right behind my grandparents' home. I am forever grateful to Katy and her husband Kurt for this most special of my lifetime events. There is no better flight instructor than Katy Crihfield. We thank Katy for her service as a Naval pilot. In addition to flight instruction, she is also a master teacher of physics. It was so great to also meet Katy's two dogs, Olivia and Fiona, as we are all animal lovers too! This marks the beginning of learning with K2 Aviation, LLC and to many more safe and wonderful flights! A special video presentation will be aired in the coming days. I hope you will all enjoy the flight! Thank you Katy and Kurt! ~ Kyle O'Malley

Triumph Jets is a company to avoid at all costs!!! I had two…read moreabsolutely DISASTROUS recent traveling experiences with them: in July and August 2022 traveling to/from NYC-Anguilla. Negatives of the first charter: 1. Toilet did not work from the get go, and the crew couldn't fix it while in flight. We took for granted that the WC would be checked prior to departure. We are talking BASIC stuff. You don't even think to ask. Well, we flew for 5 hrs without a functioning toilet. 4 passengers and 3 crew members. 2. The AC did not work either. It was either off or too strong to handle, which means we had very poor air circulation. VERY troublesome issue during COVID times. 3. The seatbelts didn't work. We all got stuck in them, which was a major safety issue. God forbid an emergency, none of us could have easily broken free from them. 4. The map travel screens did not function and we were not able to follow the route. 5. There was no soap or paper towels in the bathroom. We could have asked but really didn't want to get into it at that point. 6. Only 40 min prior to landing we were informed that we had to be re-routed due to bad weather and had another 1.5 hrs to go. I was dealing with Arturo Gomez, CEO of Triumph Jets, who was very apologetic and assured me it would not happen again. He would withhold his commission if I booked another flight with him. I made the very unfortunate decision to give him another chance. I chartered the plane to leave for NYC at 1 pm on 8/14/2022. I had been very clear that I did not want to leave at 3:30 pm, as he had initially suggested, as that would get me into the city as 9:50 pm. In my email I categorically told him that it was "much too late". I was traveling with my 80 y.o Mother. Also, we all needed to get home early to feed/medicate our pets. I received a confirmation travel itinerary sheet stating we would be leaving at 1 pm and landing in NYC at 6:34 pm All seemed well until the day of.... 1) On 8/14/2022 at 11:16 am, at ONE HOUR before leaving the resort, I received an email from Arturo Gomez, CEO of Triumph Jets, stating the jet was late and we would be leaving at 3:30 pm instead of the booked 1 pm. 2) At 12:15 pm he was still trying to get answers from Talon the operator. At 12:15 pm the cars were already outside waiting to take us (5 passengers) to the airport: two of which were already settled inside one of vehicles. 3) In his emails Gomez admitted that he had been "randomly checking the flight status", which is just MIND BOGGLING. What he should have done: 1) Checked in with Talon the same morning Sunday 8/14/22 to make sure the plane had departed in time to pick us up and would be on time in Anguilla. 2) MOST IMPORTANTLY confirm on SATURDAY with Talon that everything was good to go/they were on the same page. If Gomez hadn't "randomly" checked the flight at the very last minute we would have gone to the airport and been stuck there for 3 hrs, which is what happens when you fly commercial not private!!! 3) At a MINIMUM He should have also contacted me the day prior to departure to let ME know everything was ok and taken of. It gets WORSE if possible: 1) We had to land in Puerto Rico for refueling. Gomez didn't bother to tell us that you are NOT allowed to bring unsealed food into PR. Not even if you're only in transit. I had the resort chef make a full lunch for 5 people to take on the plane. The food was immediately thrown away by PR customs as soon as they saw it. We didn't have any catering just sealed junk food snacks like potato chips etc. Nobody had real food from 3:30 pm to 11 pm. Gomez told us NOTHING! He had no consideration for the fact that there was an elderly 80 y.o passenger on the plane who needed to eat. It also didn't even cross his mind that one of us might have needed to take medications that required eating prior to. BOTTOM LINE: -Gross negligence. It seems Gomez decided to take the weekend off instead of doing his job and was doing us a favor by "randomly" checking the flight status! Also, Gomez never once bothered to check in with me during the entire flight back. He went MIA. -Ultimately, we landed in NYC at 9:50 pm. Thanks to the change of schedule we hit Sunday night traffic from the beach and didn't get home until 11 pm. -Gomez sent an email admitting his wrongdoing: "At the end of the day, the entire trip is a reflection of us so we apologize for not catching this sooner." but didn't offer any type of compensation. -We spent $$$$ to be treated with less consideration than if we had flown commercial. I could have booked a flight with Jet Blue for $417 and gotten home at 7:15 pm!!! If you want to feel like you're hitching a ride at somebody's else's convenience while paying $$$$ to fly private Triumph Jet is your company otherwise AVOID TRIUMPH JETS AT ALL COSTS!!!!
