“Amazing service by Cain at the counter. We were booked for the morning flight that was cancelled due to cloud cover. Disappointed we decided to linger around and hiked up one of the trails to view Mount Cook. Before leaving, we decided to try one last time to see if there were any vacant spots available for the afternoon flights. Cain proved to be a gem, he booked us on the next available flight at 3pm and we had one of the most memorable experiences because of him.”
Pick a coast, a summit or a cellar door.
