“Die mangelnde Transparenz über Kosten und wirkliche Flugdauer. Wir haben einen 35-minütigen Flug für knapp 500 Euro gebucht. Wegen schlechter Wetterbedingungen würde aus 35 Minuten 12 Minuten. Der Veranstalter hält eine Entschädigung von 117 Euro für angemessen. 370 Euro für 12 Minuten sind das Ergebnis. Dem hätte ich niemals zugestimmt. Statt Mount Cook und den Fox Gletscher würde eine kleine Schleife nur über den Fox Gletscher geflogen. Der Franz Josef Gletscher würde auch nicht als Ersatz für den nicht angeflogen Mount Cook, angeflogen. Das finde ich nicht in Ordnung.”
