What Is Included And What Should I Check Before Booking?

Free cancellation applies to all six. Check weight limits before you book: 116 kg on Glacier Highlights, the Grand Circle Helicopter and the Helicopter or Ski Plane Choice, and 165 kg on The Helicopter Line; the other two do not state a limit.
How Do I Choose Between The Flights?
Aircraft is one divider: the Grand Circle Ski Plane is fixed as a ski plane, the Helicopter or Ski Plane Choice lets you pick, and the other four are helicopter flights. Group size caps range from 6 on The Helicopter Line to 18 on the ski plane, with 12 on Glacier Highlights and the Grand Circle Helicopter. The Helicopter Line also departs from Glentanner Park while the rest leave from Mount Cook Airport, so where you are staying can narrow the choice.
